Protests on campus erupted
as students sought to give voice
to ongoing issues they feel
are being ignored by CSUSM
administrators and staff.
Student Claude Sayf rallied a
group of students on November
9 who were upset about remarks
university spokesperson Paige
Jennings made regarding the
arrest of Jason Williams and
larger issues of racial profiling.
Jennings is quoted in the
November 5 edition of the
North County Times saying,
"William's race was not a factor
in the incident,"
About 30 students walked to
Jennings's office to confront
her.

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

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

room holding hands in a show
of solidarity while Haynes read
the letter.
The letter also addressed
students' concerns about the
forum held regarding policing practices on campus held
on November 4, which Haynes
was scheduled to attend.
Haynes stated that the "circumstances of the forum
President Haynes
changed" switching from
a forum, to a discussion of
an "incident-specific event"
and that is why she could not
attend.
The students said that
Haynes' staff gave them several contradictory reasons why
Haynes wasn't there. They
said that someone representing
Haynes should have attended.
"If you support my experience, then you need to listen to
my experience and that is not
what's happening," said Honey
Folk, student and former ASI
President.
"My concerns are to be concerned about the issues and
safety of students, and to also
protect their rights and protect
the rights of all employees.
[Campus] Police are employees
in the University and I have to
guard against them being prejudged," said Haynes.
Another issue the letter

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

I don't get funded for school," said Fruzyna.
Having over 300 veterans that attend
CSUSM, and many more eligible for veterans' grants through family members,
Fruzyna isn't the only one who struggles
to balance personal income and qualifying for government aid.
Student Elsie Solis is frustrated with
the process. Despite being financially
independent of her family, she still finds
it difficult to get grants.
"I signed up early but still didn't get
the grant because my parents made too
much money. But I'm 23 and I'm not a
part of [dependent on] them anymore.
But they (financial aid) said until your
24 you're still a part of [dependent on]
them," said Solis.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) considers students
dependants of their families until they
are 24, or married, or are working on
their masters/doctoral, or they have a
child that they support.
"It's not something we get kicks out
of either, it's a Congress thing. Write to
your Congress. They feel it's the family's
responsibility until the student is that
specific age," said Cynthia Silman of the
financial aid office in response to Solis'
concerns.
"If a student feels they have special
circumstances to their dependency level
they can check on the dependency override," said Silman.
Dependency override is determined at
the campus level.
"We need to look at the specific situation. There are only a few grants and
scholarships that are specifically four
years," said Silman in response to student concerns about four-year loans.
Solis said that loans are readily available, citing the fact that the government
gives CSUSM students about, "$22 million a year in loans."
More information about loans, grants
or other financial aid can be found at the
Financial Aid Office website at: http://
www.csusm.edu/finaid/ or at the FAFSA
website: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
ing about how there is no racial profiling
going on," said Sayf.
"Yes they quoted me. The comment
I made was that according to the police
officers I talked with, this was not a case
of racial profiling," Jennings said to the
group.
Student Honey Folk asked Jennings if
the university was asking the newspaper
to run a correction.
In response, Jennings said that she
wasn't misquoted.
"It was part of a quote. I did say yes,
this was not...," said Jennings stopping
mid-sentence.
After a brief pause, Jennings reiterated that her quote was based on information she received from the Cal State San
Marcos Police Department.
"The President [Haynes] sent out an
email saying we should not make judgments about what happened without all
the information. You represented to the
Spring
registration
i n progress
Tuesday, November 16 2004
newspaper that there is no problem here.
That is not true," said Sayf.
According to Sayf, who compared student demographic information obtained
from the CSUSM website along with
demographic arrest information obtained
from the CSUSM Police Department
website, "twice the percentage of black
and twice the percentage of Latinos" were
arrested by Campus Police than the percentage of these students on campus.
CSUSM Director of Communications
Rick Moore said that comparing arrest
and demographic data doesn't account for
"a lot of people who come to campus that
are not students."
Several students said that campus visitors were not numerous enough to account
for the statistics.
"The people who read the story are now
getting the impression that his [Williams]
race did not enter into the picture, and we
know that to be false," said Folk.
"And let the record show brothers and
sisters, we will not stand for it any longer,"
added Sayf.
The group left Jennings office.
Outside of Craven Hall Sayf said,
"There is only one way we can all make a
difference and that's together."
On November 11 a group of students
gathered in ACD 402 to write letters to
CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis
demanding an investigation into campus
police practices, and that charges against
Jason Williams be dropped.
Shortly after noon some 30 students
marched from the classroom to the police
department to deliver the letters chanting, "Investigate the campus police. Stop
the harassment. Bring the peace," briefly
along the way. The marchers gathered
single-file outside the police department
and delivered their letters one-by-one to
police dispatcher John Frawley who said
he would niake sure the chief got them.
PEACE, from page 1
could come."
The picnic was originally scheduled to
happen before the election, but because
organizers invited congressional candidates to speak, it was seen as political and
too high risk. Risk management asked
the student organizations to obtain special
event insurance (at a cost of about $400)
which they attempted to get, but were
denied because the event was seen as high
risk. The administration then gave the
organizers another option; hire a campus
police officer to guard the event.
"Walls-were put up in front of us when
we tried to plan this event," said Mark
Web of the College Democrats.
"The administration is doing the students on this campus a disservice when
they try to stop student originations from
trying to have a platform to discuss different ideas."
"It sends a message to the students when
we have to have a police officer with a gun
at our peace picnic," said Sarah Leonard.
Rain also delayed the event but Thursday the weather cooperated and the picnic
went on as planned.
There was BBQ to feed hungry students
and plenty of guest speakers all spreading
the same message: peace.
"This is unbelievable, awesome. I am
so excited to see our little university doing

something," said Communication major
Brandi Feston. "I wish more people were
here, this event really opens your eyes."
Francine Busby, former congressional
candidate, spoke about peace and gave
students ideas on how they could become
peacemakers.
"Each one of us is a peacemaker, and
each one of us has to smile at someone
everyday.. .peace is something we have to
work for," said Busby.
Communication major Jason Williams
shared a personal story and then told
students, "We are not here to be closedminded individuals...we as students have
the power to change the country."
Executive Director of the College
Republicans, Nick Bonomi, offered a different perspective when he spoke on peace
as a Republican

"The Republican party fights for peace

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

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

�Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
I don't get

can explain it
to me, but why
is
everyone
always trying
to be something

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

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

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

Getting into the s pirit w ith
"A Christmas Story'1 that will warm your
heart
BY MICHAEL DOLAN
Pride Staff Writer
"You'll shoot your eye out.
You'll shoot your eye out."
This caveat echoes through
out the film "A Christmas
Story." The statement is the
recurring logic that places a
seemingly immovable obstacle
in the path of young Ralphie's
quest to obtain a "Genuine Red
Ryder Carbine Action Two
Hundred Shot Lighting Loader
Range Model Air Rifle" for
Christmas.
The story of Ralphie, his
dream of holding that B.B.
gun and factors that influence
his reality (his parents, his
younger brother, his friends,
the neighborhood bullies and
Santa himself) create a connection with the young as well
as the young at heart. Ralphie
reminds us that the desire for
that one g ift can build to such
fervor that the want becomes
the passion.
Ralphie is undeterred from
pursuing this gift although his
parents are unwilling to entertain it. He fails to convince
his teacher in an essay that he
is deserving of the gift. Even
Santa casts a dark cloud over
Ralphie's desire by repeating
the impeding mantra. _
Mixed in with Ralphie's
hopes are the overtones the
BY KATIE POWERS
Pride Staff Writer
"Buddy the
elf, what's your
favorite color?"
" Elf' is the
newest addition
to my holiday
classics
list.
Where else can
you see a f ull
grown, semigood-looking
man wearing
green tights?
The
beginning of " Elf'
has a strangely
familiar claymation feel to
it, but once you
get beyond that
it's definitely
a winner. My
favorite part of " Elf' is also (probably) the stupidest. I love the part
where Buddy goes to work with
his dad. Buddy runs around and
around in the revolving door until
he pukes (how many times have
you so wanted to do that?). And
affect some families during
the holidays: the search for a
Christmas tree, the repercussions of youth profanity and
the struggle to salvage Christmas dinner from jaws of the
neighbor's dogs.
Despite the chaos and opposition, Ralphie's dad comes
through with the gun. And,
true to the warnings, Ralphie
promptly "shoots" his eye out.
The legacy of "A Christmas
Story" is not one of personal
injury. This film represents
how the holidays, although
nostalgic, are often mired with
realities that are not so fond at
the time. From that, we can all
relate.
then there's the part in the office
when Buddy (for no apparent
reason) is sitting in the corner on
top of a stuffed polar bear. Who
comes up with this s tuff? " Elf'
brings out the wound-up holiday
kid in us all.
G et " Scrooged"
"Christmas
V acation"
a nd the
phrases
that keep
us watching
every year
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Instead of reviewing this
awesome film, let's just reminisce the fabulous phrases that
we enjoy every year.
"Merry Christmas! The shitter was full," said Cousin Eddie
while emptying out a septic
tank while wearing a woman's
bathrobe that barely covered
the family jewels and drinking
a beer as well.
"Hallelujah holy shit where's
the Tylenol," yells Clark Griswold after receiving his certificate to the jelly of the month
club.
"Every time Catherine turns
on the microwave, I piss my
pants and forget who I am for
a half an hour," jokes Cousin
Eddie in the living room wearing a white v-neck sweater
with a brown mock turtleneck
BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
visible underneath.
"Honey, why don't you run
and get the kid's things, and
don't forget the rubber sheets
and the gerbils," said Cousin
Eddie to Catherine after turning up unexpectedly at the
Griswold's.
"It wouldn't be the Christmas season if the stores were
anymore hooter, I mean hotter
than they are...you can't see
the line, can you Russ," said
Clark trying to hit on a young
saleswoman.
And my personal favorite from the yuppie neighbors
next door, "Why is the carpet
wet Todd? I DON'T KNOW
MARGO!"
I
remember
watching
'Scrooged" in the theater with my
Mom and my sister when it first
came out. Ever since, I watch it
every year from Thanksgiving
to New Years at least 10 times.
I can honestly say "Scrooged"
is the best holiday movie ever
made. What makes this movie
a holiday classic is that it takes
a well known Christmas tale
gives it a modern spin and adds
Bill Murray as nasty Mr. Francis
Xavier Cross. Who, by the way,
has no qualms about firing an
employee and cutting the holiday
bonus for his faithful secretary,
all in the name of saving a few
bucks.
My favorite scene is with the
Ghost of Christmas Present who
is dressed like a fairy ballerina
with great big sparkly wings.
She prances around Frank with
her high pitched squeaky voice
and beats the crap out of him.
The
best
thing
about
"Scrooged" is that it teaches us
that the holiday spirit should not
come just once a year. We need
to put a little love in our hearts
throughout the whole year.

I watch "Planes, Trains

because it allows me a release
from the hassle and stress
the holiday season can bring.
John Candy and Steve Martin
are in top form throughout the
movie and allow us to laugh
at annoying people (the character played by Candy) while
still realizing that these people
have feelings too. I like how
despite all the trouble Dell
Griffith (John Candy) causes
he is welcomed into a strange
family's home for Thanksgiving at the end of the film,
reminding us all what the holiday season is really about.

one of my holiday favorites.

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

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

Halo
H alo 2 n ow i n
stores
BY JARED DEVORE
Pride Staff Writer
"Halo" players have been
chomping at the bit for more than
a year to play "Halo 2," and their
chance has finally arrived. When
I discovered my roommate had
plans to go to the Game Stop in
San Marcos at 12:00 a.m. Tuesday morning November 9th to pick
up his reserved copy of "Halo 2,"
I was convinced he was out of his
mind. It turns out, I was wrong.
We arrived to a line that spanned
-the entire length of the shopping
center. It was apparent the expectations for this game were enormous.
In fact, the expectations of
the gaming industry continue to
grow. This forces game creators
to pump out new games that are
incomplete or inadequate renditions of dreams. With the holidays quickly approaching, it is no
surprise that "Halo 2 " was finally
released in an attempt to reap the
benefits of the holiday economic
boom. In the defense of Bungie,
the creators of "Halo 2," the long
awaited release of the game has
paid o ff yielding a t computer
Images courtesy of Bungie Studios. Illustration by Jared Devore
graphics masterpiece. I don't
think many people would have
been satisfied with much less.
You can now customize your
characters appearance, play with
a character from the opposition,
and rampage through enemy
forces in the warthog. Picture
your mom's Hummer with a
powerful cannon mounted on
top that decimates other vehicles
with ease. Another attack vessel
that reappears in "Halo 2 " considerably revamped is the ghost.
A combination motorcycle/hovercraft, the ghost now sports a
tuibd boost function similar .to a
nitrous oxide boost on a car. This
feature can be used effectively in
escaping dangerous life or death
situations.
The levels are more challenging and far greater in size than
the original version. The characters are more intelligent, quicker,
and pack far more heat in "Halo
2." The most important, and
exciting upgrade is the ability to
wield two weapons. Now you can
charge the opponent like Rambo
taking no prisoners.
According
to
IGN.com,
Xbox's gaming website, "every
h it of hype "Halo 2 " receives is
deserved, and once you play it,
you'll be pressed to agree." The
hype is real! "Halo 2 " picks up
right where Halo left off, adding
some interesting plot twists. The
most appealing aspect of the
game is the immense carnage
that you control. I am confident
that there is enough fire power in
"Halo 2 " to blow President Bush
right out of office. This game is
a masterful rendition of the original version. A fter playing almost
non-stop, with the exception of
the classes I was forced to attend
last week, I can honestly say, "you
may be inissing class." In fact, I
plan to call in sick to work this
weekend and continue my journey through the seemingly endless virtual worlds in an attempt
to save the human race. The fate
of mankind is in my hands; I am
sure my place of work will understand this perilous dilemma.

The �
Pride �
�
CSUSM �
�
California �
State �
University �
San �
Marcos �
�
Tuesday, �
September �
28, �
2004 �
�
Dear �
Readers: �
�
There �
is �
little �
doubt �
that �
you �
may �
have �
questions �
regarding �
this �
issue �
of �
the �
Pride. �
It �
is �
a �
break �
from �
our �
traditional �
format, �
and �
is �
a �
break �
from �
newspaper �
style �
in �
general. �
The �
Pride �
editors �
would �
like �
to �
provide �
some �
insight �
to �
this �
issue. �
�
�
The �
Pride �
office �
was �
moved �
[sic] �
the �
course �
of �
last �
week �
to �
a �
new �
office �
located �
in �
Academic �
Hall. �
As �
a �
condition �
of �
this �
move, �
The �
Pride �
was �
to �
receive �
two �
computers �
to �
supplement �
our �
ability �
to �
produce �
our �
newspaper. �
�
�
The �
move �
was �
addled �
with �
bureaucratic �
manipulation. �
The �
move �
was �
partially �
completed �
by �
two �
separate �
departments: �
IITS �
and �
Facility �
Services. �
�
�
Once �
in �
the �
new �
office, �
our �
computers �
had �
not �
been �
delivered �
nor �
could �
they �
be �
located �
or �
accounted �
for. �
At �
the �
very �
least, �
we �
thought �
we �
could �
function �
as �
normal �
when �
our �
existing �
computers �
were �
moved �
to �
the �
new �
office �
the �
following �
day. �
�
�
However, �
during �
the �
IITS �
move �
of �
our �
existing �
computers, �
the �
hard �
drive �
of �
our �
layout �
computer �
crashed �
and �
no �
one �
knew �
if �
the �
data �
could �
be �
recovered. �
Without �
our �
template �
and �
files �
we �
would �
be �
creating �
a �
newspaper �
from �
scratch. �
�
�
By �
Thursday, �
the �
situation �
escalated �
because �
we �
still �
did �
not �
have �
our �
new �
computers. �
We �
checked �
with �
the �
data �
recovery �
effort �
and �
were �
assured �
that �
we �
were �
on �
the �
lowest �
rung �
of �
importance: �
no �
matter �
who �
or �
what �
department �
on �
campus �
had �
a �
computer �
problem �
they �
would �
get �
priority �
over �
us. �
�
�
We �
asked �
for �
help �
from �
the �
administration �
to �
locate �
and �
deliver �
our �
new �
computers �
and �
to �
see �
to �
it �
that �
we �
had �
a �
higher �
priority �
for �
our �
data �
to �
be �
recovered. �
We �
were �
told �
that �
it �
was �
our �
problem �
to �
deal �
with. �
We �
were �
told �
that �
we �
needed �
to �
be �
creative �
and �
find �
a �
way �
to �
produce �
our �
paper �
without �
our �
layout �
computer. �
Indeed, �
we �
got �
creative. �

[Dear �
Reader, �
from �
pg.1] �
�
From �
our �
brainstorming �
sessions, �
the �
hand-
written �
Pride �
was �
born. �
The �
idea �
served �
the �
dual �
purpose �
of �
getting �
a �
paper �
on �
the �
newsstands �
for �
the �
readers �
and �
demonstrating �
to �
the �
administration �
our �
resilience �
in �
the �
face �
of �
idling �
bureaucracy. �
�
THANK �
YOU, �
�
[signatures] �

CSUSM �
Protests �
�Last �
Thursday, �
200-
300 �
students �
protested �
the �
cancellation �
of �
filmmaker �
Michael �
Moore’s �
scheduled �
visit �
to �
campus. �
�
�
Students �
and �
faculty �
gathered �
in �
front �
of �
University �
Hall �
at �
11 �
A.M. �
in �
order �
to �
exercise �
their �
freedom �
of �
speech. �
�
�
“Claim �
your �
Education �
Freedom �
of �
Information” �
was �
the �
slogan. �
Students �
carried �
signs �
and �
wore �
baseball �
caps �
to �
voice �
their �
opposition. �
The �
event �
attracted �
the �
attention �
of �
many �
students, �
faculty �
and �
local �
media. �
�
�
A �
variety �
of �
speakers �
including �
students, �
professors, �
and �
other �
community �
members �
encouraged �
students �
not �
to �
stay �
silent �
but �
to �
voice �
their �
opinions. �
�
�
“Do �
you �
know �
our �
names? �
We �
are �
tomorrow �
and �
today” �
sang �
senior �
Heather �
Vance, �
one �
of �
the �
protest �
organizers. �
She �
sang �
a �
song �
urging �
students �
not �
to �
be �
silenced. �
She �
challenged �
the �
administration �
to �
“let �
us �
get �
involved �
in �
our �
education.” �
�
�
One �
of �
the �
speakers �
for �
the �
event, �
Associate �
Professor �
Sharon �
Elise �
said �
that �
when �
she �
heard �
Moore �
wasn’t �
coming �
she �
was �
“shocked.” �
She �
asked �
the �
students �
during �
her �
speech, �
“What �
is �
so �
scary �
about �
Michael �
Moore? �
Did �
I �
hear �
someone �
say �
donors?” �
�
Encouraging �
students �
to �
vote �
was �
a �
common �
theme �
among �
the �
speakers. �

[Protest �
from �
pg.1] �
�
CSUSM �
President �
Karen �
Haynes, �
the �
person �
largely �
responsible �
for �
the �
cancellation, �
was �
among �
those �
present �
at �
the �
protest. �
“I �
hope �
we �
will �
learn �
something.” �
When �
asked �
if �
she �
was �
Republican, �
Haynes �
said �
“That �
was �
not �
part �
of �
my �
decision.” �
�
“We �
really �
feel �
supported, �
noticed �
and �
heard,” �
said �
student �
Aamora �
Ysrael. �
When �
asked �
if �
the �
event �
will �
make �
a �
difference �
she �
said, �
“I �
don’t �
know �
if �
it �
will �
or �
not. �
The �
important �
thing �
is �
that �
the �
students �
have �
tried. �
It’s �
remarkable �
to �
see �
students �
come �
together �
in �
such �
big �
numbers.” �
�
“It �
was �
an �
incredibly �
important �
political �
lesson �
about �
the �
power �
of �
organized �
protest. �
People �
should �
remember �
because �
this �
is �
how �
change �
happens,” �
said �
Assistant �
Professor �
Lance �
Newman. �
“Students �
did �
a �
great �
job. �
I �
hope �
this �
is �
the �
beginning �
of �
a �
lively �
political �
discussion �
on �
campus.” �
�
ASI �
announced �
last �
Thursday �
that �
thanks �
to �
private �
donors �
Moore �

�
Last �
Wednesday, �
September �
22, �
students �
and �
staff �
gathered �
on �
the �
Kellogg �
Library �
terrace �
for �
a �
“Thank �
you �
for �
Recycling” �
celebration. �
There �
were �
games, �
prizes �
and �
almost �
500 �
hot �
dogs �
handed �
out �
at �
the �
event. �
�
�
“For �
this �
event �
we �
wanted �
to �
focus �
on �
the �
accomplishment �
which �
the �
school �
has �
reached �
with �
recycling �
and �
encourage �
students �
to �
recycle �
more,” �
said �
Carl �
Hanson �
a �
Green �
member �
who �
helped �
organize �
the �
event. �
�
� �
State �
law �
requires �
public �
institutions �
to �
recycle �
50 �
percent �
of �
their �
waste. �
As �
of �
January �
2004, �
CSUSM �
was �
recycling �
56.2 �
percent �
of �
campus �
wasted. �
CSUSM �
has �
the �
highest �
standing �
for �
recycling �
among �
CSU �
campuses, �
according �
to �
the �
Green �
Team. �
�
�
The �
campus �
recycling �
program �
has �
become �
a �
huge �
success �
because �
students �
seem �
to �
have �
become �
very �
environmentally �
conscious. �
Students’ �
willingness �
to �
recycle �
has �
helped �
our �
university �
save �
over �
$100, �
000. �
“The �
university �
doesn’t �
have �
to �
pay �
as �
much �
for �
trash �
disposal �
due �
to �
the �
increase �
in �
recycling, �
and �
subsequent �
decrease �
in �
amount �
of �
trash,” �
said �
Hanson. �
�
�
The �
goal �
of �
the �
Green �
Team �
if �
for �
CSUSM �
to �
become �
a �
waste �
free �
campus. �
Students �
and �
faculty �
can �
help �
the �
Green �
Team �
reach �
their �
goal �
by �
becoming �
more �
aware �
of �
which �
materials �
can �
be �
recycled. �
For �
example �
the �
plastic �
cups �
from �
Starbucks �
are �
recyclable. �

can �

The �

Gerardo �
González] �
�
�
After �
submitting �
and �
application �
and �
a �
review �
by �
a �
committee, �
this �
year’s �
recipient �
for �
the �
President’s �
Award �
for �
Scholarly �
and �
Creative �
Activity �
is �
Gerado �
Gonzales, �
director �
of �
the �
National �
Latino �
Center �
(NLRC) �
and �
professor �
of �
psychology. �
�
�
“I �
enjoy �
working �
with �
student �
[sic],” �
said �
Gonzales. �
“My �
goal �
is �
to �
share �
research �
opportunities �
with �
students �
and �
if �
they �
can �
get �
involved �
while �
in �
the �
graduate �
program, �
this �
increases �
their �
chances �
for �
careers.” �
�
Coming �
from �
a �
large �
migrant �
hard �
working �
family, �
Gonzales �
first �
arrived �
at �
CSUSM �
in �
1991. �
As �
one �
of �
two �
professors �
in �
the �
psychology �
department �
during �
that �
time, �
he �
has �
seen �
rapid �
changes �
on �
and �
off �
campus. �
�
�
After �
graduating �
from �
CSU �
Fresno, �
Gonzales �
received �
his �
doctorate �
from �
California �
School �
of �
Professional �
Psychology. �
He �
has �
completed �
extensive �
clinical �
and �
research �
training �
in �
psychotherapy �
at �
UC �
Berkeley �
for �
two �
years. �
Gonzales �
also �
completed �
a �
post �
doctorate �
research �
fellowship �
at �
the �
University �
of �
San �
Francisco. �
�
�
Gonzales �
has �
been �
an �
adjunct �
professor �
at �
CSU �
Hayward �
for �
one �
year �
and �
UC �
Berkeley. �
Since �
1991, �
Gonzales �
has �
taught �
many �
psychology �
courses �
ranging �
from �
computer �
applications �
in �
psychology, �
in �
the �
upper �
division �
level, �
to �
graduate �
programs �
courses �
such �
as �
pre-
seminar �
in �
counseling �
and �
clinical �
psychology. �
�
�
Director �
of �
the �
NLRC �
since �
2002, �
the �
organization �
specializes �
in �
research, �
training, �
technical �
assistance �
and �
services �
that �
commit �
to �
the �
understanding �
and �
awareness �
of �
the �
United �
States �
Latino �
community. �
The �
research �
is �
conducted �
from �
community �
issues �
and �
concerns �
to �
a �
solution. �
�
�
Research �
topics �
included �
education, �
public �
policy, �
employment, �
mental �
and �
physical �
health. �
The �
services �
include �
evaluations, �
demographic �
studies, �
�assessments, �
interest �
groups, �
surveys �
and �
data �
analyses. �
Thus �
they �
are �
available �
to �
public �
agencies �

Second �
chances �
are �

We �
don’t �
always �

when �
we �
want �
and �
sometimes �
we �
get �
one �
when �
we �
really �

One �
person �
who �
wants �
a �
second �
chance �
is �
Pete �
Rose. �
Who �
knows �
if �
he �
will �
ever �
get �
one �
or �
if �
he �
even �
deserves �
one? �
�
ESPN �
released �
a �
movie �
last �
Saturday �
title �
“Hustle” �
which �
is �
the �
true �
story �
of �
Pete �
Rose’s �
life; �
ESPN �
specifically �
focuses �
on �
the �
occurrences �
of �
when �
Rose �
was �
banned �
from �
baseball �
for �
gambling �
on �
the �
sport �
while �
managing �
the �
Cincinnati �
Reds. �
�
15 �
years �
ago, �
Pete �
Rose �
was �
caught �
betting �
on �
baseball �
and �
he �
compounded �
his �
troubles �
by �
lying �
about �
it. �
Yet �
for �
some �
reason �
he �
still �
receives �
huge �
fan �
support. �
Recently �
ESPN.com �
ran �
a �
poll �
that �
asked �
if �
you �
think �
Rose �
should �
be �
reinstated �
and �
Rose �
received �
58 �
percent �
in �
his �
favor. �
�
Rose �
broke �
the �
cardinal �
sin �
in �
baseball, �
he �
spent �
time �
behind �
bars �
and �
he �
committed �
adultery. �
It �
still �
stuns �
me �
to �
see �
Rose �
receive �
so �
much �
support. �
However, �
it �
is �
easy �
to �
understand �
why. �
It �
is �
because �
he �
is �
easy �
to �
relate �
to. �
�
I �
mean �
how �
many �
of �
you �
have �
got �
in �
trouble �
and �
didn’t �
know �
what �
to �
do �
so �
you �
just �
decided �
to �
lie �
and �
hope �
for �
the �
best. �
But �
before �
you �
knew �
it, �
you �
got �
too �
caught �
up �
in �
your �
lies �
and �
eventually �
you �
got �
busted. �
That �
is �
what �
happened �
with �
Rose �
but �
just �
on �
a �
larger �
stage. �
�
I �
am �
sure �
even �
Pet �
wouldn’t �
bet �
on �
himself �
getting �
a �
second �
change �
since �
it �
has �
been �
15 �
years �
and �
his �
chances �
don’t �
look �
too �
rosey �
anymore. �

The �

everybody �

On �

�
�
On �

Bob �

send �
a �

Dickey �
said, �
“ASI �
should �
reconsider �

fund �
support �
for �
a �
newspaper �
that �
has �
major �
problems �
with �
its �

�
I �
totally �
agree. �
Newspapers �
aren’t �
nearly �
as �
scrumptious-
diddley-
umptious �
as �
burgers �
and �
punch. �
Too �
bad, �
so �
sad �
that �
ASI �
don’t �
provide �
the �
DeNiro. �
Pride �
funds �
come �
from �
the �
IRA, �
the �

Now �
this �
does �
come �
from �
student �
fees, �
so �
Mr. �
Dickey �
still �
has �
a �
point. �
�
�
Each �
year, �
the �
Pride �
jingles �
a �
cup �
and �
begs �
for �
some �
money. �
Coupled �
with �
the �
advertisements �
we �
pick �
up, �
this �
is �
our �
only �
source �
of �

Is �
it �
fair �
that �
every �

has �
to �
give �
up �
some �
cash �
(however �
miniscule) �
to �
a �
paper �
they �
may �
not �
read? �
Hell �
no. �
�
�
On �
the �

of �
things, �
nobody �
has �
had �

not, �
you �
gotta �
admit �
that �

creates �
a �

�
Dear �
Editor, �
�
�
I �
am �
very �
surprised �
that �
a �
president �
of �
higher �
learning �
is �
doing �
such �
an �
ignorant �
thing �
as �
this �
(or �
maybe �
what �
she �
really �
is �
doing �
is �
going �

in �
Michael �
Moore’s �
favor). �
�
�
I �
am �
beginning �
to �
believe �
that �
there �
are �
some �
people �
in �
this �
country �
who �
find �
Michael �
Moore, �
his �
“partisan �
politics”, �
and �
his �
film �
Farenheight �
[sic] �
Nine-
Eleven, �
very �
�
threatening. �
It �
makes �
me �
wonder �
about �
why �
he �
is �
seen �
as �
such �
a �
threat; �
could �
it �
be �
that �
everything �
in �
his �
movie �
about �
our �
president �
is �
true? �
�
�
I �
had �
to �
see �
Michael �

twice �
because �
I �
almost �
couldn’t �
believe �
what �
I �
was �

I �
also �
plan �
on �
buying �
his �

on �

when �
it �
comes �
out �
in �

just �
so �
that �

�
Dear �
Editor, �
�
�
�
I �
am �
shocked �
students �
are �
willing �
to �
spend �
over �
$30,000 �
to �
bring �
Michael �
Moore �
to �
Cal �
State �
San �
Marcos. �
As �
a �
former �
students �
of �
CSUSM �
and �
a �
taxpayer �
I �
am �
outraged �
that �
anyone �
would �
want �
to �
use �
these �
scarce �
funds �
on �
a �
single �
event. �
I �
think �
the �
money �
would �
be �
better �
spent �
on �
hiring �
additional �
professors �
to �
have �
more �
classes �
to �
offer �
for �
the �
upcoming �
spring �
semester. �
�
�
I �
may �
not �
agree �
100% �
with �
Michael �
Moore �
and �
would �
have �
no �
problem �
with �
addressing �
the �
campus. �
The �
problem �
I �
have �
with �
him �
is �
the �
cost. �
He �
is �
a �
millionaire �
that �
claims �
to �
care �
about �
the �
common �
man. �
What �
kind �
of �
person �
that �
truly �
cares �
about �
the �
poor �
charges �
a �
public �
university �
over �
$30,000 �
to �
speak �
at �
their �
campus? �
Someone �
that �
is �
after �
money. �
He �
has �
made �
so �
much �
money �
from �
his �
last �
movie, �
his �
speaking �
tour �
should �
be �
free �
everywhere. �
I �
am �
sure �
someone �
would �
be �
willing �
to �
give �
up �
a �
bed �
or �
two �
in �
order �
for �
Michael �
Moore �
to �
come. �
�
�
If �
the �
students �
are �
so �
concerned �
about �
Free �
Speech �
on �
campus �
why �
have �
they �
not �
challenged �
the �
campus �
to �
make �
the �
entire �
area �
a �
Free �
Speech �
zone? �
Yet �
people �
thing �
to �
take �
in �
mind �
the �
idea �
of �
Free �
Speech �
is �
to �
offend �
someone �
because �
everybody �
does �
not �
have �
the �
same �
opinion. �
To �
people �
that �
think �
that �
ASI �
is �
basically �
run �
by �
PAN. �
The �
only �
reason �
[sic] �
I �
can �
think �
of �
they �
are �
the �
only �
organization �
on �
campus �
that �
cares �
to �
get �
involved �
with �
campus �
life. �
Other �
organizations �
need �
to �
step �
up �
to �
the �
plate �
when �
elections �
come �
up �
next �
year. �

It’s �

it’s �

for �
another �

Smallville. �
For �

“Smallville? �
Isn’t �
that �
Batman �
or �
something?” �
you’re �
on �

Alfred �

Creating
the perfect
class
schedule
By GABRIEL MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
"Scheduling is an art," said
Professor Susie Cassel, chair
of the literature and writing
department here at CSUSM.
Professor Patty Seleski, chair of
the history department, compared
it to juggling, as the needs of
students and the budget that has
been allocated by the dean have
to be balanced. "It's the curse of
middle management," she said.
The course scheduling process
is much more complex than most
people realize, and thè upcoming budget crisis has only made
it more complicated than before.
Several factors must be juggled
when the department chairs
determine when, where, and how
many sections of a course will be
offered.
The needs of both the major
and of general education (GE)
requirements are considered.
Every department offers several
GE courses, which must be taken
by all students. Enough classes
for the department's major also
have to be offered, but these
classrooms can be hard tofilldue
to their specialized nature. An
attempt is made to offer major
courses at a variety of times,
but usually only one section of
a particular course is. offered per
semester or year.
Attempts are made to offer
courses in "a consistent,
predictable way," said the chair
of the mathematics department,
professor Linda Holt. If several
classes are only available once
per year, schedulers will attempt
to consistently offer courses
during the same semesters.
Class A is always available in
the spring, class B is always in
the fall. These major classes
are arranged like this to avoid
conflict.

It is obvious that important

These decisions are important

Behind The Scenes
Although the recycling program here at Cal State San
Marcos garnered national recognition last year, many
around the campus community felt that it had a lot of
room for improvement. One such person was a former
Cal State San Marcos employee and recycling program
coordinator, Nancy Quinn. Quinn had been working
diligently toward improving the program, but when the
state of California announced budget cuts to the CSU
system last semester, Quinn was let go.

Rubella, Measles, and Mumps: Oh My!
Student Health Services offers free M MR vaccinations
By JASON PADILLA
Opinion Editor
There is still time to clear the
Measles, Mumps and Rubella
(MMR) immunization that is
required by CSUSM. Students
who are unsure about the current
status of their immunization
need to contact their physician
or doctor in order to clarify the
uncertainties. For students sure
of their need, the Student Health
Services (SHS) clinic will be
offering free MMR vaccination
shots on Friday Feb. 21, Mar 7 and
March 21. MMR vaccines will be
held at the SHS clinic located on
the corner of corner of Craven and
Twin Oaks and are available to all
registered students. Those who
cannot make the scheduled dates
for vaccinations may schedule an
appointment for another time.
Able to spread from person to
person through the air, Measles,
Mumps and Rubella are serious
diseases. Not only are they
serious, but they can also be very
annoying to students who find a
MMR hold on their registration.
The CSU system requires that all
students be immunized to MMR
prior to their first semester of
being enrolled £t a CSU campus.
Junior communication major
Paul Anderson experienced this
first hand. "I didn't even know that
measles mumps or rubella was an
issue, but apparently I needed the
vaccine before I could register for
my first semester at CSUSM a
few years back," Anderson said.
Anderson later went to the SHS
clinic and received his vaccine.

As to why the brand name was changed, Moore
responded, "The Academic Program Marketing
Committee felt that in this region, where most of
the campuses are known by their initials, it would
help San Marcos to stand out by using words* rather
than letters. Also, the group felt that 'Cal State San
Marcos seemed less formal, friendlier, and more
welcoming to incoming students, who were our
highest priority target group."
The decision to make Cal State San Marcos the
brand name trademark of the university was made in
September 2000 by the Academic Program Marketing Task Force. This change was announced to the
campus at the Fall Convocation a year and a half ago and
put into effect at the start of the fall 2001 semester.
An email was sent out to all the task force members to
ask if they would comment on this meeting and the decision that was made, but few responded and the ones who
did only referred The Pride to Rick Moore for the group's
official statement.
When asked if students were officially notified of this
change and how, Moore stated, "Students were represented on the committee. I do not know if their representative 'officially' notified ASI or students. The change in the
university mark did not affect the Cougar mark that is used
by student groups."
Why are students not in the know?
Most students were unaware of this change to the brand
name and were not sure why it took place. According to
Moore, there was no known form of notification for the
student body, because at the time there was no "in the
loop" email and the Cougar Channel did not exist. Since
the change took place a year and a half ago, there has not
been a lot of discussion about it among the student body.
Brodowsky added, "I wonder why, at this time, this is
being followed up on as a high priority issue as if it were
breaking news." In answer to his question, The Pride did
not report on this issue at the time because it was not a
public pertinent announcement that had been made to the
student body, and now as the brand name is used, the focus
on the correct term is at hand.
According to Moore, the response to the change was
stated as, "Enthusiastic acceptance. Some faculty were
concerned that we had taken the word 'university' out
of the mark, so we developed an academic mark for them
to use in certain circumstances, such as when submitting
papers or research findings and when conducting academic
business outside of the northern San Diego region.
Albie Hewlett, a senior communication major, also
commented to the name brand change. "We as students
are the ones who use this title to acknowledge our university. It is something as simple as a name that can help build
an individual's school pride and this can be particularly
important for a university like CSUSM!" Hewlett said.

The recycling program at the
University Village Apartments
depends on students to care about
the environment and lend a hand.
According to the Assistant
Director for Residence Life
Angela Grundy, the UVA is
required by law to meet a standard
50 percent recycling rate. That is,
at least half of the waste from the
University Village Apartments
must be recycled. If this standard
is not met, the UVA could be
fined up to $10,000.
Prior to Jan. 20, 2004 there
were no recycling bins in the
apartments as there are now.
Residents had to lug their
recyclables to the dumpster on
their own, without any bins to
remind them to do so.
This led to some students
dumping their recyclables in with
the rest of their trash. This was
most likely the reason the UVA
did not meet their last standard
requirement and decided to place

empty their trash there is also a place
to empty their recyclables, should they

CONSORTIUM
�By JOHN ROBBINS
With the passing of
Pride StaffWriter
Proposition 55, Cal State
San Marcos would receive
roughly $9 million toward the
renovation of Craven Hall, as well as the furnishing of
the college of business.
If approved on election day in March, Proposition 55
would allocate $2.3 billion to be used to fund major
construction and renovation throughout California's
higher educational system. California is experiencing
rapid growth as a state, forcing administrators to find
ways to accommodate such quick growth. Pressing
enrollment growth over the past decade has made
it vital to fix old and outdated classrooms, enlarge
facilities, and construct new classrooms to meet
existing student needs at CSU campuses—as well as
California Community Colleges and UC campuses.
There is seldom an adequate amount of dollars in
the state budget to fund large expansions of the higher
education system such as this. School construction is a
direct investment in the local economy. Studies show
Proposition 55 will produce hundreds of thousands of
new jobs and add billions in local economic activities
all over California. Funds can only be spent to revamp
or construct schools, not on administration.
Opposition to Propostion 55 states that Calfornia is
already in debt and should not take more on. The bond
requires that schools provide 40 percent of the total
cost so schools without the funds will miss out. Also,
Los Angeles, a city with 12 percent of California's
students, would receive 25 percent of the money.
—»•inHmii
Over the past three years,
California state spending has significantly exceeded tax revenues.
Proposition 57, the "Economic
Recovery Bond Act," to be proposed to voters on the
March 2 ballot, initiates a $15 billion bond in order to
pay off the state's accumulated general fund deficit as of
June 30, 2004. The measure will only pass if voters also
approve Proposition 58, the "California Balanced Budget
Act."
The recovery bond is designed to prevent drastic
cuts from education and health care programs, as well
as potential dramatic tax increases otherwise likely to
cover the current debt. Proponents note that in addition
to heading off budget shortages, the bond will consolidate
much of the state's debt into one lump sum. Those in
opposition to the bond claim that it will cost more than
$2,000 per family, and instead suggest that the legislature
should be called upon to reign in spending they see as out
of control.
_ Ultimately funded by the people of California, "The
repayment of the bond would result in annual General
fund costs equivalent to one-quarter percent of California's sales tax revenues," said the Secretary of State's
Legislative Analyst. It would take between 9 and 14
years to pay back the bond.
Essentially, this proposition gives the state government
a one-shot, large sum of money to be used now, in order
to reduce the immediate budget deficit, as opposed to collecting it gradually over time, via annual taxation.
By KYLE OTTO
Pride StaffWriter
h i i ii M i n i m i
Gov. Schwarzenegger
called Proposition 58
"the never-again spending
limit." If only it were that
simple. Titled "The California Balanced Budget Act,"
Proposition 58 includes an arsenal of provisions aimed
at achieving a higher level of fiscal responsibility in
Sacramento.
Proposition 58 would amend California's constitution
with changes that would not be subtle. While the
governor is currently only required to propose a
balanced Budget, Proposition 58 would force him or her
to propose and enact a balanced budget.
Another budget-related provision under Proposition
58 compels the legislature and governor to act swiftly
in times offiscalemergency. Under such circumstances
the legislature would have 45 days to complete a bill
concerning the emergency. If the deadline were to
pass without a bill, work on all other bills would be
suspended until the emergency bill was completed and
presented to the governor.
Appealing to those who own piggy-banks,
Proposition 58 would establish the Budget Stabilization
Account. Money transfers would be ordered from the
state's general fund into the new account until a certain
balance is met. Much of the money in this new account
would then be devoted to deficit payments.
Proposition 58 would also prohibit the state from
engaging in long-term borrowing arrangements. The
proposition's opponents see this component as being
rather useless in that it preserves the short-term
borrowing arrangements they feel are troublesome..

En-large-ment ads
leaving consumers limp
Penis. Dick. Weiner. Johnson.
There are thousands of different names
we can call a man's genitalia; and
according to the recent wave of Internet
advertisements, there are thousands of
ways to add on inches.
These days, you can be sure that before
hearing the words "you've got mail,"
various pop-ups for penis enlargement
remedies on the computer screen
appear. That is because there are over
18,000 products on the market catering
to guys that want a bigger and better
package. These products range from
the $20 penis pump to the $300 bottle
of Virility (one of many "all-natural"
male enhancing supplements). To add
to the list, there are also penis weights
for those interested in the stretching
technique and penis muscle exercisers
for those guys who work out. For the
man looking to increase the beast, these
ads seem convenient; however, usage
of any of these products may leave
him unfulfilled and broke.
Dr. Steven Bates of student health
services, said that many of the
products related to the penis enlargement
propaganda have not been medically
accepted nor FDA approved. The products
claiming to be "all-natural" supplements
borrow a mixture of herbs with various
functions (Ginseng for stamina, Yohimbe
for weight-loss, etc).
These companies then stuff the list of
herbs into a capsule and tell the consumer
that his penis will grow about 30 percent
within three to six months. Most of
these supplements, however, will give the
consumer a 90 day guarantee or refund
Photo by Sarah Carlin¡The Pride
Penetrating e-mail accounts nationwide, male member enhancement advertisements may leave consumers a little less than satisfied.
your money. In other words, by the time
he realizes that his penis has not grown
an inch, the guarantee has expired, and the
company keeps the money.
Besides the fact that this market lacks
a promising warranty, an herb can react
in an individual's body very negatively,
especially when mixed with other herbs.
"Herbs can be the cause of hypertension,
fatigue, and G.I. (gastrointestinal)
problems —- like diarrhea (side effects)
can be present when mixed with one's
metabolism," Bates said.
Results vary from person to person. The
only certain way to add on inches to a
penis is through surgery. That would
only be recommended for specific
cases, cases that are not cosmetic, but
reconstructive. But even surgery is risky,
Bates said
So what makes us, as a society, so
fascinated with size? Sex sells. Media
definitely plays an important
roll with movies like "Austin Powers,"
which jokes about a penis pump,
and associates Austin Powers as being
a huge ladies man. We can also give
credit to the adultfilmindustry with all of
the publicity that Ron Jeremy gets for his
gigantic moneymaker.
Sarah Wymer, sophomore, said that
unfortunately, yes, size does matter.
"Our society's obsession with size
probably stems from women who are
always supposed to be small with big
boobs," Wymer said. "Men are depicted as
being big, with a big penis."
Wymer said she does not think products
on the market are credible according to
their advertisements. She said, "I think
they are just gimmicks sold to poor guys
with low self-esteem."
Junior Jason Nichols said, "Bigger is
relative to cold weather," and that bigger
does not necessarily mean better, especially
if the previous guy was bigger.
Nichols said, "If you want bigger
equipment, lose the beer belly."
If you do decide to take the bait on
these enhancement ads or even surgery,
investigate the risk factors and know
your motives. The American Urological
Association and the American Society
for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery have
surgical remedies for amputated penises,
penises damaged by car accidents, animal
bites, birth defects and other serious cases.
They do have policy statements against cos
metic procedures.
For more information on this topic or
topics on sexual responsibility please
visit Student Health Services. Faculty
from Student Health Services will be
in Founders Plaza to promote sexual
responsibility Tuesday, Feb. 10, and
Wednesday, Feb. 11, between 10 a.m. and
1 p.m. They will be selling condom roses
and passing out safe sex pamphlets.
Looking for romance in cyberspace may not be that weird
By CHELSEA GEORGE
Pride Staff Writer
As February 14 approaches, many single
students are probably wondering just
whose going to be their Valentine. Some
are even turning to alternative methods,
such as online dating, to find that special
someone.
To some, the thought of dating someone met online may send shivers down
the spine. Perhaps questions like how
could I go on a date with someone I've
never met? And what if they're lying
about who they really are? might course
through your head. Perhaps pictures of
some scary psycho murderer hunched over
a keyboard goflashingthrough your mind.
Or as freshman Kaylan Bland said, "That's
creepy."
Others mayfindonline dating unnatural.
They may miss that spark when eyes connect for the first time; the initial meeting
leaving your head spinning for days.
"When you meet someone it should just
happen," said Elise Battaglia, sophomore.
And after all, there isn't a fairytale that
reads, "and then prince charming put out a
personal ad."
There are those who might feel that
online dating is for the desperate and the
unattractive. It's the only excuse there can

After a strong finish this

team must raise $700 to cover
the state championship fees
when the team travels to compete at San Onofre state beach
March 20 and 21.
The ASI/CSUSM surf team
has consistently made great
performances in the National
Scholastic Surfing Association
(NSSA) events. The season
included two stops in Ventura
(street pipes) Oct. 26 and Dec.
21, as well as an event at Black's

Thefinalevent of the regular
season took place Jan. 19. at
one of the great surfing spots
in Southern California, Huntington Pier (south side). The
Dream Team qualified for the
state championships with an
overall season ranking of ninth.
"The Dream Team has a shoe

Cream Team took seventeenth

"I hope they can have a

She added that coming from a
strong performance at the last
event in Huntington Beach, the
momentum might just carry

in March.
She also said that the talent

to be proud of in these two

The road to having a Surf

one. It takes a tremendous

CSUSM expanded its list of club teams
last November when the Women's Softball
Team formed itself and began pre-season
workouts.
They practiced rigorously for nearly
two months and opened up their inaugural
season with a 15-2 lopsided win over Mt.
San Jacinto College Jan. 12.
A blowout win against intercollegiate
competition is a great achievement for any
club team, and proved to be the ideal way to
open up the season.
The next two outings weren't quite as
glorious as the first; the team dropped
both games of a double-header against
International Hope of Faith. The losing
streak didn't last long though, and was
snapped in the very next game against
Orange Coast College with a close 6-4
triumph.
The Women's Softball team now finds
themselves at .500 with a 2-2 record.
"Not bad considering half of the squad
hadn't played in nearly 5 years," said Head
Coach Fermin Cardoza Sr. Cardoza has
been coaching girl's softball for the last
15 years through Vista Girls Softball and
needed for liability insurance,
entry fees, and other costs have
to come from fund raising by
students.
One idea is to host a "surf
flick" night at the Clarke field
house. By paying a small fee,
students can come and help the
surf team reach their goal of
$700 to cover the state championship fees. People interested
in helping can contact Laurence
Bolotin, director of Student
Programs.
Expect great things in the
future with the ASI/CSUSM
Surf Team, because as the
campus grows so will this

Travel Ball, and hopes to end the Cougar's
inaugural season with a winning record.
The team is looking forward to the
National Softball club team tournament at
the end of April.
Catcher Alison Sansbury said she is
looking forward to the tournament. "We
are a young Cougar dynasty and this
tournament will pit us against other club
teams and will show just exactly how good
we are," she said.
Cardoza said, "Definitely, they have come
a long way since we first started practicing,
"It's like night and day," he said.
With spring on the horizon, America's favorite pastime is almost upon
us, which means the second season of
Cougar baseball will be getting under
way.
CSUSM offers three intercollegiate
sports (Cross country, Track and Field,
and Golf), but those are not the only
sports available to students.
2003 was the inaugural season for
Cougar baseball, which was a successful season by all standards for a first
year team. There will be six returning
players from last years squad, including one sophomore, one junior, and
four seniors.
Head Coach JJ Koon said, "We
are very excited about the upcoming
season. We are building off a .429
winning percentage, with a record of
§ix wins and eight losses."
Last season the Cougars participated in very high scoring games. The
Cougars had the second best scoring
offense, and allowed the third fewest
runs out of six teams in the Metal Bat
Division.
In the first game, of a 14 game
season, they blew out the San Diego
Black Sox with a 17-2 victory. The
Cougars continued to put up big scores
on their opponents all throughout the
year; the team averaged 10 runs per
game in the final six games, while
finishing strong, winning four out of
those six contests. The Cougars scored
seven runs or more on seven different
occasions throughout the year. The
teamfinishedthe season tied for third
place in their division, and this year
the returning players expect only to
improve upon last year's success.
The Cougars play games Sundays on
Varsity Fields at various North County
High School locations. The team is
part of the North County section of
the Men's Adult Baseball League
(MABL). The North County section
contains several independent baseball
teams from other universities like San
Diego State, and other independent
teams in the greater San Diego area.
The Cougars are looking for athletic
men tofillout the roster, which is currently voided by the eight seniors who
were on the team last season. Try-outs
will be held on February 21, at 1:30pm,
on the campus of Mira Costa Community College in Oceanside. There will
also be a team meeting that anyone is
welcome to attend. The team meeting
is tentatively scheduled for the second
week of February in the Founders
Plaza.

the upcoming team meeting, and/or

size until a study published
in Sept. 1996 Journal of
Urology concluded that
the average flaccid penile
length was 3.5 inches, and
average erect length was 5

It is as if the marketing

this information to create
a complex in the male
psyche just like it has
been doing to women for
decades.
If you are a women, you
know you are bombarded

the perfect recipe to do the
same thing to men. Tell
men that they don't measure up if they can't stretch
out to a hefty 10 inches on
a ruler; get a sexy women

a must-have remedy.
Whether you are a man

L ETTERS T O T HE E DITOR
The opening of Kellogg
Library this semester has created
a sense of excitement among
CSUSM faculty and students
alike. In fact, I have been so
excited about the opening of
the new library that whenever I
am in the building I experience
frequent urination. Thefirsttime
this sense of urgency hit me,
I was thrilled to check out the
new bathroom facilities in the
library. To my dismay, I found
the experience to be less than
mediocre.
I have visited three bathrooms
in the new library, one on the
firstfloor,two on the second.
These bathrooms all have doors
that do not properly latch—-and
when I have to go I don't have
time to fumble with door locks.
Consequently, I have been
forced to relieve myself in
front of classmates. To make
matters worse, often times these
bathrooms lack seat covers and
toilet paper, too. So not only am
I the girl who pees with the door
open, I'm the girl who doesn't
use seat covers or toilet paper.
I usually make afinalsanitary
attempt before I leave the library
restrooms, but as I pump the
dispenser for soap I don't even
get a bubble, and when I go to
dry my hands, the paper towel
dispensers are jammed.
The other day, on the way to
the bathroom I was really down
in the dumps. I felt like things
just couldn't get worse. And
then I found a friend. Inside the
first floor bathroom in the new
library I met Karen, a quiet girl,
head in hands, sobbing on the
ground next to the sink. Scooping
away days of trash and paper
towels, I leaned down next to
her and asked what was wrong.
Karen told me she was having a
feminine emergency and ran to
both bathrooms on the second
floor of the library and, in a third
final attempt, tried thefirstfloor
bathroom for a vending machine
to buy a product. Karen found
nothing of the sort. You can find
Karen in this same spot, because
she vowed to me she wouldn't
leave the bathroom until someone
recognizes the importance of
such machines and installs one.
On a more serious note: I don't
understand why these brand
new bathrooms, in a state of the
art library, have dysfunctional
door latches and paper towel
dispensers. Out of the three
women's restrooms I have visited,
not one has a feminine product
vending machine, either. I find
a more serious problem lies in
the fact that these un-stocked
restrooms are not cleaned on a
daily or even bi-daily schedule,
forcing us to use stained toilets
while we stare at dirty pieces of
trash on thefloorthat we first
noticed days ago. The library is
a new, beautiful facility—and
students should be just as
overjoyed to use the restrooms
as they are to sip a Frappuccino
from Starbuck's or receive a free
Kellogg spill-proof mug.

first generation students through
a wide variety of services
while focusing on academic
success, student perseverance
and retention rates. EOP gives
support to students who need
all the assistance they can get.
These programs are the key to
promoting educational equality
and access to higher education,
essential issues the CSU system
adamantly claims to protect.
As a team teacher for the WMST
101 class for many of the first
year EOP students on this
campus, I work directly with
these underrepresented students.
Asfirstgeneration college
students, those involved in EOP
often face obstacles that often
include economic hardship,
cultural and language barriers,
and lack of support both in the
home and at the university.
Cutting the EOP program would
be detrimental not only to
those students who rely on the
program to receive the education
which they deserve, but also
for the overall atmosphere of
the CSUSM community as a
whole, which prides itself on its
diversity.
As a student advocate
dedicated to the preservation of
educational quality and access,
I am outraged. Outraged at'our
governor's lack of concern for
students who desperately need
support services. Outraged
that his budget cuts hit to the
heart of the higher education .
system. Outraged that he seeks
to disenfranchise those whom
have worked so hard to get where
they are. Outraged that there are
not enough of our voices being
heard
I support the CSSA resolution
which protests these actions. I
encourage all of us to remain
steadfast in our dedication
to petitioning to stop the
elimination of the CSU Outreach
and EOP programs. Please
flood the governor's office
with letters in protest. Call
Sacramento and tell him how
we feel. We must continue
thefightfor student rights and
never give in- or give up.

Fraternities and sororities from San
Diego State University that were scheduled to perform a step show in honor
of Black History Month failed to arrive
Friday, Feb. 6 at the Dome Plaza. A troop
of steppers from El Camino high school,
who had attended the show as guests,
their gratitude by cheering riotously and
giving the girls a standing ovation.
"Rhythmic stomping to demonstrate
unity, talent, and organizational pride,"
said Dilcie D. Perez, associate director of
multicultural programs and community
outreach. That is precisely what the step
show was all about.
The stomping and clapping which
made up the dance created an infectious rhythm which accompanied by the
dancer's frequent shouts and cheers, such
as "deep in Alabama" and "unity" had a
very musical feel.
Observers became participants and
everyone displayed a high level of enthusiasm and support with their laughter,
applause and cheers.
At the conclusion of the event, Perez
reminded students that change starts on
a small scale. It begins with the student
voice.
The unique exhibition of stomping tied
together with the crowd's involvement
achieved an important goal for Black
History month: that of unity.

Pride StaffWriter
Twentieth Century Fox's upcoming
movie "The Girl Next Door," directed by
Luke Greenfield, had the theater echoing
with laughter at a recent press screening.
The movie debuts March 12 as one of
the few romantic comedies that I wouldn't
classify as a chick flick. Guys can expect to
see plenty of eye candy which you would
expect from a movie about a high school
kid dating a porn star.
A senior at Westport High School,
Matthew, played by Emile Hirsch, dreams
of becoming a politician, and the most
exciting thing in his life is his acceptance
to Georgetown University. That is until he
falls for the new girl next door, Danielle,
played by Elisha Cuthbert.
She is gorgeous, she is fun and she brings
out his adventurous side. She also happens
to be a former porn star.
Mathew has plans for a whirlwind of
a week which includes senior prom, a
scholarship competition and the arrival
of an exchange student. Unfortunately,
all these events are put on hold when
Danielle's former director comes to take
her back to the industry.
Their days are filled with random
misadventures as Matjhew realizes he's so
in love that he would do anything to keep
Danielle and get her out of the business,
even steal.
Although the characters in this film are
your typical teen movie clichés, the popular
crowd, the nerds and the in-betweens the
plot was surprisingly unfamiliar.
If you want a feel good, goof-off movie
to go hit up with all your friends I would
definitely recommend that you see this
film.

Survey Shows Cal State San Marcos
Ranks High with Students
CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
Students here at Cal State San
Marcos report being more chal
lenged academically than stu
dents at comparable universities,
a recent national study showed.
Students also gave the campus
high marks for both collabora
tive learning and felt that their
time at CSUSM was an enrich
ing educational experience.
Results showed that in rating
the level of academic challenge
at CSUSM, seniors scored in
the 90th percentile, while fresh
men answering the same ques
tion scored in the 80thpercentile.
Translating these scores means
that seniors feel more challenged
than at least 9 out of 10 seniors
nationwide and freshmen feel
more challenged than at least 8
out of 10 freshmen nationwide.
Almost 90 percent of
CSUSM students rated their col
lege education as “good” or
“excellent” - a number above
the national average of 87 per
cent.
Conversely, both CSUSM
freshmen and seniors gave the
campus low marks for its campus
environment and student interac
tion with faculty members, with
freshmen ranking in the 45thper
centile and seniors in the 10th
percentile on the question of
student-faculty interaction. Less

Dr. Gene W. Ray, CEO of
the Titan Company, whose laser
is nuking anthrax in post offic
es, gave Cal State San Marcos
students advice on job hunting
Friday.
*
Ray told students that when
he hires new employees, he
looks for those with “the right
motivation, attitude, education,
and smarts, but first of all, they
must have a philosophy of work
ing as a team.”
Ray was the guest speaker at
the inaugural event of the series
“In the Executive Seat,” created
by the College of Business and
Arts Administration. The host,
Ted Owen, publisher of the San
Diego Business Journal, dis
cussed a range of topics with the
guest. The talk wa$ patterned
after the “In the Actors Studio”
show.
The crowd of about 40 stu
dents,staff and faculty listened
as Ray and Owen discussed
Ray’s educational beginnings
and his first jobs. Ray said that
the key to finding .a job after
graduation is to learn as much
as possible. “Get a good gener
al education because the world
changes and what is hot now,
will not be in five years,” he
said.
Ray established the Titan
Company in 1981, but before that
he worked several jobs across
the country. After graduation,
he worked for Aerospace in
San Bernardino. The company
advises the air force on how to
build satellites andmissiles.
Later, he worked for the
Pentagon in Washington D.C.
where he worked with “things
like B-52’s. I did a study on
the possibility of using them in
Vietnam,” said Ray. The B-52
was used in Vietnam and is used
today in Afghanistan.

Foundation Building Update
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer
Students attending class, in
the temporary trailers said they
expected their stay to be a short
one, but repairs from the July
blasting accident that struck the
Foundation building (FCB) are
still incomplete as the semester
comes to an end.
“The classrooms are actu
ally ready to be occupied, but
outside damages that are in the
process of being repaired would
be too disruptive to students and
professors during finals week,”
said Chuck Walden, director of
the facilities.
According to Walden, dam
ages would have been repaired
on time, but there were delays on
quotes from the steel contractors
were supposed to complete the
building repairs. These delayed
quotes pushed back repairs that
were supposed to take place
on the building’s canopies and
roofs.
Walden assured that the
buildings would be reopened for
spring semester classes. Some
students and professors said
they were disappointed that their
intended short stay in temporary
buildings has lasted the entire
semester.
“We adjusted and made due
with what happened, but it would
have been nice to move into a
real classroom,” said Maureen
DuPont, a math professor. “Our
only salvation was that our
classes kept getting smaller and
smaller so the temporary class
became more spacious as time
passed. There was a point
though, during exam time,
where if one more person would
have showed up, they wouldn’t
have had a seat.”
Temporary trailers have remained all semester behind FCB. (Pride Photo/)
�AIDS Memorial Quilt Brings Awareness to Campus
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
Student Health Services pro
moted AIDS awareness on cam
pus by providing free HIV test
ing, giving out free condoms
and showing the AIDS Memorial
Quilt on Monday Dec. 3rd, from
10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
“I think it’s very important
for people to know that HIV is
out there, but people are some
times not conscious about that.
It’s a deadly disease,” said Cathy
Nguyen, a*health educator from
Student Health Services.
Although World AIDS Day
is on Dec. 1st, which was on a
Saturday, it was not promoted on
campus until Monday in order to
reach more students, according
to Nguyen.
“When AIDS first started, I
never thought it would get this
bad, never. It’s so very sad.
There is no excuse for people
to be dying for this now, we
know. Maybe when they see this,
they’ll use protection,” said Judie
Hathaway, a senior majoring in
Literature and Writing Studies.
Friends and family of people
who lost their battle against the
autoimmune disease make per
sonalized quilt squares and send
their sections to the NAMES
Project Foundation, an organiza
tion which creates quilts made
from each section received.
“Through these type of
memorials, they (the victims)
live on forever. They are not
forgotten,” Nguyen added.
“I think the quilt is pretty
awesome. It’s amazing because
your see iso many different lives
and this shows that anybody can
get affected and not only people
that are stereotyped, such as
drug users and homosexuals,”
said Jason Gwazdacz, senior and
Human Development major.
“I think the quilt is really
meaningful because students
don’t remember or think about
it [HIV/AIDS] until they see it
although some people remember
it now, then they forget it again.
I think it’s good to havethe quilt
here because it makes people
more aware and just to think
about it and take more precau
tions to prevent it,” said Kiefa

Communication within Cal
State San Marcos is increasing,
as students now receive a new
e-mail service called “In the
Loop.” Every Friday students
receive In the Loop, which con
tains information about uni
versity and student organized
events and fundraisers. Student
organizations and university
offices submit this information
that will be sent to all student
e-mail accounts.
In The Loop began Nov.
30 and was the idea of Rick
Moore, director of university
communications. “We had a
number of requests that we
send information to students
by email,” said Moore.
“This is quite cumbersome
for the folks who maintain the
computing equipment, and my
•thought was to reduce the num
ber of messages by combining
them into a weekly grouping.
That way messages could still
be sent, but in a workable
way.”

said, “ . . . (we) had a lot of stu

Another group at the fair,
Preserve Calavera, represented
by Diane Nygarrd, president, and
Lori Homstad, public relations
officer, is an organization work
ing to save some of Carlsbad’s
open spaces on Mt. Calavera.
According to the group, the open
space on Mt. Calavera shelters the
last of two remaining large con
tiguous native habitats in coastal
north county.
They added that the city of
Carlsbad proposes a development
of 700 new homes, 22 industrial
sites, a high school, and four high
ways, which will take up about
60 percent of what others want to
make into a regional nature pre
serve. Nygarrd and Homstad said
they’re not against development,
but they want to advocate
responsible development. They
decried the fact that some of
this area is already protected, yet
the protections are not enforced.
For further information check
www.preservecalavera.org.
The Friends of Cerro de las
Posas, a group vying to save the
ridgeline in San Marcos, also
attended the fair. A developer is
proposing to build a 150-acre golf
course on the ridgeline south of
Discovery Lake and east of Lake
San Marcos. The Friends said
they are not against golf courses,
but feel this location is inap
propriate. Right now anyone can
hike or bike to the top of the nat
ural ridgeline and enjoy the beau
tiful view. The Friends believe
the golf course would take away
public accessibility to the ridge
line. For further information
check FriendsofCerro@aol.com.
. The San Elijo Lagoon Con
servancy, a group dedicated to
preserving The San Elijo Lagoon,
was also in attendance. Lois
James represented the group and
attempted to bring awareness
about the importance of the
lagoon, which is located in the
wetlands between Solana Beach
and Cardiff. She explained how

Cal State San Marcos’s Envi

sponsoring the event, also set up
a booth. The club’s main focus at
the event was to educate students
about the benefits of recycling. “I
know I should recycle more and
why I should, but sometimes I

Christian Palmatier. “I’m just

“I think it’s safe to say that

as somehow too much for them
to deal with, and so invariably
they just throw their hands in the

instead of bringing a bunch of
really big “name brand” environ

�AUTHOR FINDS HOPE AND
HYPOCRISY IN AMERICA
Go Take a Hike...During Winter Break
By CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
By MARY SUE WEBB
Pride Staff Writer
Sherman Alexie brought a message
of hope for those who see the September
11 tragedies as a dismal foretelling of
America’s future. “We spend our whole
lives trying to fit in, trying to find the
place where we belong. If the attacks
can teach us anything, it is that we
do belong, we are connected, and we
are here,” said the outspoken Native
American author, poet and playwright in
front of packed house at UCSD’s Price
Theater Thursday.
Alexie, author of the novels
Reservation Blues and Indian Killer,
three collections of poetry, as well as the
screenplay for the film Smoke Signals,
touched on a variety of topics during his
two-hour monologue, ranging from his
experiences as an Indian and his love of
the arts, to vegetarianism and the hypoc
risy of American culture. Although his
works often reflect the anger of the dis
enfranchised, Alexie spoke with humor
and openness. Animated and forthright,
he tackled topics most politicians take
great rhetorical pains to avoid.
“Imagine an image of Christ on the
cross being paraded along the sidelines of
a football game with scantily clad cheer
leaders shouting ‘Go Christ, Go Christ,
crucify them! ’ Most people would be
horrified — and well they should be.
But the same thing is being done to
our religion,” said Alexie, talking about
the disgraceful misuse of sacred Indian
religious symbols as sporting mascots.
He noted that such indifference
by many Americans allows a hypocriti
cal compartmentalization of another cul
ture: “We can pick and choose the parts
of the culture we like and disregard the
rest. It’s hypocrisy, pure and simple.”
When asked how he felt about
Need some adventure during winter
break? Well, adventure may be closer
than you think if you take a winter hike
near campus. At the 750-acre Elfin Forest
Reserve south of San Marcos, and the
3,085-acre Daley Ranch in Escondido, a
bobcat, coyote, or a golden eagle might
cross your path in these protected habitats.
Daley Ranch has more than 20 miles of
trails beginning at the parking lot of the
La Honda Drive entrance of Escondido’s
Dixon Lake. Huge boulders are home to
many animals at the ranch.
“The outcrops provide denning sites
for coyote, bobcat and ringtail. Mountain
lions have been seen among the rocks on
occasion,” according to the Daley Ranch
trail guide.
Raptor species of birds and the south
ern Pacific, as well as red diamond and
speckled rattlesnakes live in the boulders.
Endangered species, such as the horned
lizard and the California gnatcatcher, also
live on the Daley Ranch. Another endan
gered species protected at the ranch is the
rare oak woodland.

“Widespread development has greatly
reduced the number of oak woodlands,”
according to the trail guide. “Englemann
oak woodlands, once relatively widespread
and abundant, are now one of the most
endangered natural communities.”
Visitors may also find oaks on the 10
miles of trails at the Elfin Forest Reserve*
and near Escondido Creek, along Harmony

the war on Afghanistan, Alexie
responded that he agreed the terrorists
should be punished but that, he “wasn’t
going to join anyone’s army. If a thief
breaks into my house, I’m not going to
help him carry my stuff out,” He said it
would be “too hypocritical to talk about
other people’s hatred when we can’t even
address our own.”
Alexie also noted that he had been
subjected to ‘random searches’ on six
teen of his last twenty flights since
September 11.
Although well aware that his speech
es are often contentious and controver
sial, Alexie said, “I can’t control peoples’
reaction to what I say. And that is what
is great: your politics, your culture, and
your philosophy all fit into your reaction
to what I say. That is what makes the
arts so wonderful.”
When a frustrated audience member
made a noisy exit midway through
Alexie’s talk, shouting out “fuck you,”
Alexie was nonplussed. Moments later
he said: “This is what is great about
this country. Think about how many
countries would not even allow this type
of gathering. But here I can say what I
want and you can say what you want.
Even if it’s fuck you.”

Service, told them what we had, and
in one week we had a contract,” said
Ray. “That’s faster than the mail,” added
Owen.
“We knew all along that we could stop
anthrax,” said Ray. “However, anthrax
spores are the most difficult bacteria to

that run through an accelerator at high
speeds. This beam of energy is aimed at
packages. As the beam runs through the

“It looks like a large log and a beam
comes out of it,” said Ray.
Bryce Ashcraft, a business major,
asked Ray at the end of the show, “Did
you learn more in academia or in the
working field, what are the percent
ages?”
“The most important thing you learn
in academia is the ability to reason, the
ability to think and how to communicate
both written and verbally,” said Ray.
“Ninety-nine percent [of what I learned]
was in the working field, one-percent

“Rolling thunder is what they call

said Owen.
Later, Ray worked for a local com
pany, SAIC. He helped create military,
mostly air force, communications, until
he broke away to establish Titan.
Ray became chairman of the board
of Titan in 1989. Today, his company
makes $1.1 billion in revenue, and shares
of the company have continually been 65
percent higher than before Sept. 11, said
Ray. According to an article in the North
County Times, shares closed on Friday
at $27.08, compared to $13.20 earlier in
the year.
Yet Ray remains modest about his
efforts. “With hard work and a lot of
luck you can really accomplish what you
want to in this country,” he said.
As he did with previous jobs, Ray is
supporting the war effort. “This year, hun
dreds of our employees are making con
tributions to Afghanistan and the global
war,” said Ray. Not only are employees
going overseas to help weapon and com
munication repairs, but his company is
supporting the war at home.
SureBeam, a Titan subsidiary, is
working with the U.S. Postal Service
Grove Road. In the spring, huge bushes of
mountain lilac, red money flowers, blue
eyed grass and sunflowers line sections
of the Elfin Forest. Signs identify native
plants in both of these reserves. A trail
guide about native plants is available at
Elfin Forest Reserve.
For those who may not be interested in
the native plants, however, consider bring
ing man’s, or woman’s, best friend along
for the adventure. Dogs are allowed off
their leashes at the Elfin Forest Preserve,
but they must stay on their leash at Daley
Ranch.
If that’s still not your style, mountain
bicycling is popular at both reserves. Also,
non-hikers can ride a free shuttle bus from
the La Honda Drive entrance every Sunday
afternoon to the Daley Ranch picnic area.
The shuttle van is wheelchair accessible,
but no cars are allowed.

�Spy Game A
By VICTOR PADILLA
Pride Staff Writer
“Spy Game” takes viewers
on a globe-hopping mix of covert
CIA operations and secret govern
ment-sanctioned assassinations.
Tony Scott directed this climac
tic thriller, which stars Robert
Redford and Brad Pitt. Tony Scott,
who also directed “Crimson Tide”
and “Top Gun,” once again shows
his worth as a director in “Spy
Game,” in which he combines
great acting with totally believ
able situations.
Redford plays CIA veteran
Nathan Muir, one day away from
his retirement from the agency
he works for. Everything seems
as usual on his last day of work,
until he gets called in to an emer
gency meeting for an unexpected
event that has taken place on the
other side of the world.
The U.S. was about to sign
an accord with China, when Tom
Bishop (Pitt), a young CIA agent,
gets himself into life-threatening
trouble with the Chinese gov
ernment. Muir’s bosses, howev
er, are not enthusiastic about sav
ing Bishop’s life. There is a lot
at stake in the accord between
the two super powers. Money,
microchips, and free trade are up
for grabs, and any publicity about
Bishop’s capture in a Chinese
top-security prison could foil the
deal.
It turns out that Muir is
Bishop’s mentor. Muir tries to
come up with a plan to save
Bishop from a torturous death
-£f but he only has 24 hours.
In one scene, we find Muir
using his intellect and his CIAoperative training
against the CIA
bureaucrats them
selves, to discover why the agency
is so quick to sacrifice Bishop.
Although it may seem that
this storyline is somewhat over
used, the film provides a refresh
ing view because it deals more
with the intellectual aspect of
carrying out a mission. As one
may ascertain from the movie’s
title, “Spy Game” deals with just
that
playing the game, eVen
against those whom you learned
it from.
The story includes flashbacks
of the men’s covert operations in
Vietnam in the 70s, and Beirut in
the 80s. The flashbacks, which
are told from Muir’s perspective,
are nicely done, and give us
enough information to keep us
interested in Muir and Bishop as
characters. We’re also offered just
enough insight into their strenu
ous relationship, which remains
intact due to their fierce loyalty
to their job, and to one another.
Redford, whose starred in spy
thrillers like “Three Days of the
Condor,” played a very convinc
ing and cool role in
the film. What more
can I say about Pitt,
who looks as sharp as ever, until
the prison guards beat him to
a bloody mess (sorry ladies).
Perhaps this is Pitt’s motive for
agreeing to this role, considering
that he tends to shy away from
being viewed as a sex symbol and
is constantly taking roles where
he is physically marred (“Fight
Club” and “Snatch”). Catherine
McCormack’s character is not
introduced in the film until half
way through the movie. She has
a dual role, playing a British aid
worker and Pitt’s love interest.
Although she has a small role
in the film, it is nonetheless one
of the most pivotal because, in
a sense, most of the conflict in
the story is directly or indirectly
affected by her.
The movie also includes
Larry Bryggman (“Die Hard with
a Vengeance”), who plays a nasty,
two-faced, arrogant CIA bureau
crat. Marianne .Jean-Baptiste
(“The Cell”, “28 Days”) plays
Muir’s loyal secretary, who will
do anything to stir up some
much-needed action in her seem
ingly boring job. Moviegoers who
can appreciate good acting and
amazing cinematography will be
extremely satisfied by what this
movie has to offer. With enough
action-packed scenes to make
Arnold Schwarzenegger blush,
“Spy Games” will undoubtedly
become a classic among spy
thrillers.
The film, with a running time
of 127 minutes, is rated R for lan
guage, some violence and sexual
ity.

�One Film to Rule Them All
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
Whoever said that you should
never judge a book by its movie
has yet to see L ord o f the
Rings. Having never read J.R.R.
Tolkien’s classic trilogy The Lord
o f the Rings (I’ve only read the
prelude novel, The Hobbit), I
was concerned that I might not
understand the characters and
mythology integral to the story.
But instead, I was pleasantly
surprised at not only understand
ing Tolkien’s world onscreen, but
falling madly in love with it.
The first attempt to turn
Tolkien’s novel into film, in 1978,
was an animated failure, but it
may have been the attempt to
animate, rather than using com
pelling actors and dynamic spe
cial effects, that was its down
fall.
However, the second attempt,
which is based only on the
first novel, The Fellowship o f
the Ring, opens Dec. 19 and
should prove itself an epic suc
cess. From the first line, “The
world is changed,” hauntingly
narrated by Cate Blanchett, the
audience will find itself com
pelled to keep watching.
All three novels are encom
passed in one large epic film;
however, audiences will have to
wait for parts two and three until
2002 and 2003.
“I wanted to take all the
great moments from the books
and use modern technology to
give audiences nights at the mov
ies unlike anything they’ve expe
rienced before,” said film direc
tor, writer and producer Peter
Jackson.
True to his word, Jackson
keeps Tolkien’s literary language,
and, rather than allowing the
film editor to cut to an image of
a scene, Jackson provides elaborate dialogue to describe offcamera scenes.
“Tolkien writes in a way that
makes everything come alive,
and we wanted to set that realis
tic feeling of an ancient worldcome-to-life right away with the
first film, then continue to build
it as the story unravels. We
constantly referred to the book,
not just in writing the screenplay,
but also throughout the produc
tion. Every time we shot a scene,
I re-read that part of the book
right before, as did the cast,” said
Frodo seeks a moment of peace in the safe harbors in the land of the elves. (Couresy photo/NewLine Cinemas)

�As many of us prepare for the end
of the semester this week, The Pride
will also prepare for changes. Editors
Melanie Addington and Victoria Segall
will move on after three years of involve
ment with the student newspaper. The
Pride welcomes two new lead editors for
the spring semester, Claudia Ignacio and
James Newell. We are very excited for the
new vision they will bring to the student
newspaper.
As editors and as students, we have
had our ups and downs these past few
years, but we will leave the newspaper
with great memories. Two years ago, after
only our first year ofjournalism, Professor
Madeleine Marshall, Pride adviser, took
a chance with two quiet girls and helped
turn them into campus leaders. For that,
we are both grateful. Thank you.
As a campus, you students have
embraced the changes we have made
in the paper, like the new layout, our
continuing struggle with the online edi
tion^ student comic strips (that we hope to
continue), controversial columns, editori
als, and a colorful literary supplement.
As student writers, we continued to push
ourselves to better our writing, and as
editors we pushed ourselves to cover
important news for students.
However, some things have remained.
The students. You have been proactive
as newsreaders, and we encourage you
to continue. The student newspaper is
one of the few places where students can
express their voices to the administration,
faculty, and other students. Value it. Our
opinion pages continue to be the most
exciting pages because of what you have
brought to them. Thank you.
As students, we have had opportuni
ties to attend diverse, enriching campus
events. Many clubs and ASI continue to
struggle with oursrimewhat tediously apa
thetic campus and try to create an exciting
campus life for us. We hope that The Pride
continues to cover their contributions and
that more students begin to appreciate
their efforts. Student leaders, thank you.
Our professors have helped us build
a strong foundation for our writing with
their teaching and advising. They’ve
helped us questions ourselves and others
(a useful tool for
writers), taught us
grammar tips (we
are trying to avoid writing in passive
voice), and given us other valuable lessons
both inside and outside the classroom.
Now we feel more confident expressing
ourselves as writers to not only the univer
sity, but those outside of it. Thank you.
Administrators of this campus have
been both open and encouraging to The
Pride. Although we were not always well-
liked because of our reporting and uncov
ering of news, good and bad, the school
has continued to support student voice.
The College of Arts and Sciences, as a
whole, has been tremendously helpful. Our
hope is that in the future, students, faculty
and administrators from the College of
Business Administration, Education, and
the future colleges, will participate more
and help represent the variety of student
ED ITO R IA L
There are also
administrators who
have helped push the paper forward and
supported the newspaper for several years,
including Cheryl LeGras of College Suc
cess Services. Thank you.
We hope you all will join us in provid
ing the new editors with the same support
you have given us over the past two years.
Thank you.

�Bodyboarders Are
Dedicated to Their
Sport, Too
Tae Kwon Do
Another
Cougar Sport
By DUSTIN NAYLOR
Pride Staff Writer
Physical education is more
than just cross country and golf
at Cal State San Marcos. The
P.E. class, Tae Kwon Do (PE
210), brings martial arts to stu
dents. The course, taught by
instructors Grand Master Chun
and Frank Pulsdrac, combines
the intense art form of Tae
Kwon Do with group discus
sions. Every Friday morning,
about 30 students come to class
(located a few blocks from the
school), ready to practice low
blocks, sidekicks and even an
Occasional chop to the neck.
Grand Master Chun prac
tices the Ji Do Kwon method
of Tae Kwon Do. Ji Do Kwon,
which means the “association for
knowledge ” or “way of knowl
edge association,” fuses funda
mental training philosophies in
patience, love, patriotism, and
respect for oneself and others.
Students engage in meth
odology involving leadership,
self-development, goal setting
and personal achievement, while
working to achieve correct
stance, technique and form
through rigorous, but enlighten
ing, aerobic workouts.
Chun said he understands
that students are busy with their
studies and work, but insists that
individuals maintain a “balance
of physical and mental training
achieved through Tae Kwon Do.”
The class is a 3-unit academic
course listed as PE 210-Tae Kwon
Do.
“I was looking for elective
units to graduate when I found
out about the course,” said stu
dent and white belt Justin Stough.

Chun said that university
support is excellent. “Cal State
San Marcos has sponsored our
program for six years now. We
have over 100 students from the
university who continually train
and practice and hope to gain
more.”
Chun, a senior Ji Kwon Do
Grand Master, began his train
ing more than 50 years ago in
Korea, where he trained with
the founders of the Ji Do Kwon.
After the Korean War, Chun was
selected to serve as bodyguard
for the Korean Prime Minister.
He later became chief
instructor of the Seoul National
Police Force and aided the
Korean CIA in teaching Ho
Shin Sul (self defense). When
he moved to New York City in
1969, Chun trained with Richard
Chun and black belts/actors Joe
Hayes and Gregory Hines. He
worked with the New York City
Ballet, combining ballet move
ments arid Tae Kwon Do as an
“art.”
In 1976, £Jiun began spon
soring the All-American Open
Championships, which began in
Youngstown and Cleveland,
Ohio, and then he moved to San
Marcos in 1987 to introduce the
All-American Open to the West
Coast. Chun said he believed
“the traditional martial arts is
eternal - a good studio will
develop a consistent program
balancing the physical with the
mental.”
Tae Kwon Do, which means
the “way of the foot and the fist,”
first originated during the early
history of the Korean Peninsula.
The Koguryo, Paekje and Silla
were kingdoms that, around 57
B.C., used Tae Kwon Do as
one of the principal subjects
in physical training. The mar
tial art form survived many
generations, continuing through
the Chosen Dynasty (1392-1910),
and remained prominent after the
masters secretly handed down
the art after the liberation of
Japan in 1945.
I’ve got some news for
Southern
California:
Bodyboarders are just as dedi
cated to their sport as surfers.
True, the majority does not take
it as seriously, but bodyboarders
have just as much fun. And for
those who don’t know, not all
bodyboards are made by Morey
Boogie. So please don’t say that
you are going “boogie board
ing” unless you own an actual
Bpogi-brand bodyboard.
Bodyboards have come a
long way from the flimsy early
models. Back in the early 80s
when I started, the hot board was
a Morey Red Edge bodyboard.
Compared to today’s boards,
it was similar to the rudimen
tary plane that the Wright broth
ers first flew. Now, most body
boards have a slick bottom and
can come in a variety of shapes
and colors.
You can purchase a board
with stringers on the inside to
make the board stiffer and fast
er, or you can get one made
with different types of foam
for different temperature waters,
because you can find body
boarders at all four corners of
the planet.
At 30 years old, I thought I
would have given it up by now,
but strangely, I find it as fun as
when I was 13 and playing in
the shorebreak.
After all these years, I can
now say that I shred. I grew up
on the Central Coast up north
where you have everything from
hungry sharks to cows and deer
on the cliffs watching you as
you drop into big cold tubes.
These waves broke over rocky
reefs and burnt-out old surfers,
with their solid black wetsuits,
who rode surfboards from the
1970s. Sometimes it got so cold
that the sand would be frozen
and would crunch as you walked
over it. I know the coastline
between Santa Barbara and San
Luis Obispo counties like the
back of my hand.
With bodyboarding, you
have a few options on how you
ride the board. You can lie down
on it in a prone position, or
you can ride it in a “drop-knee”
position, which requires that you
hop up on the board as quickly
as possible during the takeoff
and put one leg up, and one
beneath you. This is the way
I prefer to ride. It feels faster
and you dan pull many of the
maneuvers that a surfer does.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t
have “surfing envy,” it is just
that in this position you are
more upright than when you are
prone.
During the past 17 years I
have learned how to surf and
have also picked up a nice 8’
thruster that I take out when the
waves are flat. Down here in
Southern California, we have a
veritable cornucopia of waves.
This winter looks pretty promis
ing as far as waves go, and there
is a vibe in the air that all men
and women of the water have.
This vibe is saying to us,
“You’d better wax up you boards
good and be ready. When I come
screaming down the coast, from
the Pacific North, I am going
to give you all the ride of your
life.” To this vibe I answer, “We
are ready and we are pumped.”

�Catalog Under Consideration
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer .
Cal State San Marcos pro
duces the university’s General
Catalog on a yearly basis to
inform students of modifications
to class descriptions and the
school-wide policies. The Office
of Academic Programs, whose
committee works on refining the
yearly catalog, however, is con
sidering creating a bi-yearly cat
alogue.
Modeled after San Diego
State University’s catalog, the
bi-yearly catalog is still in the
planning stages.
“We want to put the best
face forward for the campus that
we can. The first thing students
will see in the catalog if this
goes through, are rather attrac
tive images of Cal State San
Marcos,” said David Barsky,
associate vice president of Aca
demic Affairs.
With the bi-yearly catalog,
the university would print more
color pictures and focus more
on its layout and design. The
catalog could therefore be used
as a recruiting mechanism that
would be on display at high
schools and junior colleges.
A bi-yearly catalogue would
also decrease the money spent
on the yearly publication, which
is supported from sales of the
book and the school budget.
Also, the class scheduled dis
tributed every semester would
cost less.

experiments for some 200
students to perform. Some of the
experiments helped the young
sters learn how animals adapt to
their environment, what causes
sound, and how plants use light
to produce food. Each student
had 15 minutes to present a spe
cific science concept to small
groups of Discovery School
students, who rotated through
the mini-science exposition at
15-minute intervals.
“The science fair was bene
ficial because there were handson activities and visual demon
strations that allowed students
to become actively involved in
learning,” said Vlasic.
He added, “With science, or
any subject for that matter, the
challenge is to keep student
interest and motivation. The sci
ence fair helped in this respect
because the activities were fun,
appropriate in content for the
primary grades, hands-on, and
allowed students to learn by
doing.”
The CSUSM cohort includes
nearly two dozen seniors under
Norman’s direction, who have
attended the same classes, stud
ied together and journeyed
together through an integrated
credential program that began
with the spring 2000 semester.
Only one more semester
remains before students in the
cohort graduate with a bache
lor’s degree in liberal studies and
arts.
Brand Name: “Cal State San Marcos”
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer
This semester, the Academic
Program Marketing Task Force
has set out to create an image
for Cal State San Marcos that
sets it apart from other local
universities.
“The most effective part of
any program is to raise aware
ness and to communicate specific
messages comes from employees
in an organization,” said Rick
Moore, head of the communica
tions department on campus, and
head chair of the task force.
According to Moore, that is
why employees and students are
now urged to refer to the univer
sity as Cal State San Marcos, and
discontinue the use of CSUSM,
because other universities in
the San Diego region are often
referred to by their initials, for
example, SDSU for San Diego
State University.
According to Moore, to set
Cal State San Marcos apart from
the bunch, it is the responsibil
ity of students and staff to use
the new brand Cal State San
Marcos when referring to the
university. The goal is to have
this new brand name differenti
ate this school from others in the
area.
Students and staff members
supporting the university and
its marketing efforts can only
make the lives of Cal State
San Marcos college community
members improve, according to
Moore.
Though the “brand name”
change might seem trivial or
insignificant, the fact is that
many get CSU and UC schools
confused. By simplifying and
marketing a name that stands
out from the rest, according to
task force officials, the Aca
demic Program Marketing Task
Force is attempting to leave an
impression on potential future
students.
Lower Division Advising
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer
Toward the end of this
semester and as registration
approached, students had a diffi
cult time seekingrtower-division
advising. The problems began
with student-advisor ratios. There
are only two advisors available
for 1600 lower-division students.
“We try to encourage students to
come in ASAP so we can help
them out,” said Jane Sparks, a
lower-division advisor. “Before
and after registration we are so
busy that it becomes difficult
for students to get the help they
need.”
Throughout the semester,
Sparks sends out e-mails to
lower-division students, encour
aging them to seek advising
during off-peak times in jthe
semester. The reality is that
urgency for appointments builds
near registration time, when stu
dents tend to want advising
help.
Sign-up sheets are released
weekly and within a day or so, all
slots fill up with appointments.
After lower-division registration,
advisors’ schedules open up and
walk-in advising appointments
are available. Sparks advises
students not to hold off on reg
istration if they need to see an
advisor arid can’t get an appoint
ment, but rather to go ahead
and register, then seek advising
after advisement calms down.
Students can then add or drop
classes as the need arises.
Michael Temple, a former
lower-division advisor, is no
longer employed at the university ,
and his departure added stress to
the fall semester registration for
lower-division students. Reasons
for Temple’s departure have not
been disclosed. Natasha Brock
has temporarily taken over Tem
ple’s position.
This semester, many students
did not know what classes to
enroll in. Advisement encourages
students to attend advising ses
sions before November in the fall,

The Great American Smokeout, an event that encourages
smokers to quit for the day (and
permanently), was celebrated at
CSU San Marcos on Thursday,
November 18 in Founder's
Plaza. Peer Education and
Support (PEAS), an official d ub
on campus, had coordinated the
event and invited Kaiser
Permanente, Palomar Pomerado
Hospital, and UCSD to the cam-'
pus.
The organization of nine students, which includes PEAS
Peer Educator Karyn Harmon,
oversaw the organization of
tables and distribution of information and literature. "We've
had a lot of people stop by - a lot
of smokers and a few people
who have quit for the day," stated Karyn. The American Cancer
Society provided pamphlets, flyers, and banners for the
Smokeout. Their videotape
"Advertising: How Does it
Rate?" played on a television
monitor and showed 14 different
no smoking commercials and
ads that were funded by the state
of California.
Although unable to attend the
event, UCSD Medical Center
supplied CSUSM with "You
Can Take Charge" cards that
offered a I-8OO-NO-BUTTS
smoker's helpline. A giant cigarette constructed by the PEAS
members blew a stream of
smoke to crowds of passing students while smokers and volunteers alike met face to face over
help materials. During their free
noontime barbecue in front of
the Dome, Associated Students,
Inc. (ASI) sent students to the
Smokeout event by advertising
signs for free drinks up at the
Smokeout table.

Dear Editors:
RESPONSE TO THE UNIVERSITY STORE
I've held my peace as long as possible. It is time for someone to
voice dissatisfaction with the administration of CSUSM, The Pride,
and the entire Cal State college system. This past Thursday 11-11-99
was Veteran's Day. There was nothing about it in the newspaper.
There were no planned activities by the administration. There wasn't
even an acknowledgment by the school in any way to honor the veterans except for the appearance of a few students wearing items that
identified them as veterans. It is disgraceful that the Cal State college
system has as its policy one that refuses to acknowledge the most
multi-cultural organization in this country- the United States military.
This is especially true f or CSUSM, which prides itself on being
founded on multi-cultural principles. Nowhere in this country is there
an organization more integrated in gender, ethnicity, and wide-ranging belief systems. There are three flag poles in front of the campus,
two are always flying a flag. Hie third stands empty the majority of
the time, Would it have been a harmful gesture of respect for the
administration to have flown a POW-MIA flag from this standard in
recognition of the service of veterans? There are a number of veterans
at CSUSM who are students. I 'm sure there are a number of faculty
that are veterans, though for some reason they don't wish to acknowledge it. While most other groups have their special celebrations and
designated awareness days, weeks and months, and the system
ensures that these are advertised and supported, the veteran has one
day a year designated to honor her/him. It is shameful that the
CSUSM administration is so blatantly neglectful. Remember, without
the veterans, none of you would have this campus, your educational
opportunities, nor your job.
I was very happy to see the prompt response by the University Store. I think this demonstrates how
our administration seems to have a genuine concern about this important issue of labor rights,
However, I was hoping that the response would have been more specific.
Respectfully,
R. D. Hawkins
Dear Editors:
In response to your Editors' Response in the last issue of The Pride, I
believe it is important to clarify some errors that your staff had made
while addressing the College Republicans.
h The Pride said: "Contrary to your statement that there has been a
problem between The Pride and the College Republicans..." My
statement never included the word problem as I, like you, do not consider the College Republicans as having a problem with The Pride
paper. I did say, "I aip not happy about the recent happenings that
have been taking place..." Happenings do not necessarily equate to
problems.
2. The Pride said: "you were, until recently, listed as the Membership
Chairman of the YAF..."
I was the Membership Director, not Chairman. Minor mistake, but
nevertheless could be easily misconstrued as me being the Chairman.
Thank you for taking note in that I am no longer a member of YAF.
3. As the Chairman of the College Republicans, I respectfully ask that
when The Pride Editors are handling disputes in which they have
with other student organizations, that they do not attempt to refute
their problems in the same Editors' Response that is directed to the
College Republicans. It would be greatly appreciated if you would
handle your disputes in separate articles.
Thank you for your time,
MikeSannella

In order for students to be sure we are not buying sweatshop garments in our bookstore, we need to
know what code of conduct is required. Not only do we need the details of that code, but we also need
to know who monitors and enforces the code, In addition, we need to know the factory locations of
the companies who supply our University Store.
There are good reasons why those last few details are important/First of all, there are companies who
create codes of conduct which are not acceptable. In El Salvador, for instance, a one day "living
wage" (which determined how much sweatshop employees were going to be paid) was based on calculating half the price of food for one day. That's it. No clothing. No shelter. No transportation. No
toys for kids. No money for educating kids or adults in the family. Just half of the cost of food.
The second reason 'specifics' are important is because whoever monitors and enforces the code is
very powerful in this industry. Companies who oversee their own codes are not objective. It is too
hard for them to see the injustices that they bring upon the laborers. To them it is just business as
usual. Also, it is often the case that managers and supervisors are merely doing what they can to keep4
up with the demands that come down from headquarters in corporate America.
The third request of naming factory locations is important because we need to know which American
companies truly do their business in America/ Recently, because of pressure being put on by students,
companies such as Nike and GAP(Gap, Baby Gap, and Old Navy) have started naming where their
factories are located. Of course, most of their manufacturing is done overseas in sweatshops. The millionaire and billionaire managers and owners of these companies gave the excuse that the responsibility was "out of their hands" because they couldn't be in all places at once to monitor labor conditions.
This is no excuse. I can't believe it is impossible to set up a monitoring system to make sure workers
are not suffering and starving in their factories. They just'don't Want to 'waste' their profits on such a
monitoring system.
At the "Students Against Sweatshops" conference, we had women who were former sweatshop
employees speak to us. They spent many hard years slaving over clothing made for colleges. When
these women tried to organize labor rights movements, they were fired, their families were threatened, and also the women were followed and told they would be killed.
This is why it is important to make sure that we truly are doing all we can to bring about equality. We
need to stop the horrible practices of sweatshops by making sure the people in corporate America
realize it is of utmost importance to the consumers that they give all laborers a living wage and treat
them with dignity.
I am happy that our University Store requires manufacturers to follow a code of conduct. However, I
hope that the details of this code are made public so that the students can decide if it is the code that
we want our clothing manufacturers to follow.
This is a very complicated issue. However, one detail is very simple: The people who make billions of
dollars from sweatshops are going to continue their abusive practices until the consumers demand
otherwise.
Michelle Jacob
In regards to Joe's letter to the editor that appeared in the November 8 issue:
Joe, my gosh you spent a whole semester and a half at CSU San Marcos and just now realizing you're
bored? One would have to question why yoti didn't think of this BEFORE you enrolled here. It seems
to me there are a 'cazillion' colleges you could have picked from. Perhaps you should question why
you picked CSU San Marcos to begin with? Was it the price tag? The ease of which you got accepted?
Is it possibly the location to your home, etc.? Did your parents have say in the matter? Wow, I could go
on. I 'm just very curious why you DID choose CSU San Marcos—surely there had to be a good reason
for choosing a commuter college. Also you mentioned that the average age of the students here is 28.
I 've been brought up to think that people at any age can enrich and add to an environment, rather than
take away from it. You mention a lot of factors that contribute to this school being a bore. If you are so
interested in sports, then why didn't you pick Notre Dame or some other school? If your friends are all
"having the time of their lives" living in dorms, then why don't you change schools so you can be with
them? If you choose to stay at CSU San Marcos, then why don't you try joining one of the many successful clubs on campus, call the Associated Students Office, and just get yourself involved? However,
remember that CSU San Marcos has a writing requirement in all classes and that may limit the amount
of time you have to party. The bottom line i s that you have to decide what is important—a party life or
graduating on time, before you become "28" years of age.

As the days of optimism fade
from view and the cold hard reality
of school work finally sets one into a
routine of study and sleep, there are
some things on campus that "remind
us that tiiiie truly flies while you're
alive. There are the leaves that have
turned a wonderful shade of brown,
the mountain behind the Science
Hall that has shrunk to the size of a
foothill, and the term papers that
seem to come all at one time, even
though they were assigned two
months ago.
Yet, as I walk the mile from my

notice the once proud graffiti of rush

It is a federally funded TRIO program f or low-income and firstgeneration high school students

Because the Upward Bound

the top 2% in the nation, they are
currently operating in their
"bonus" fifth year (grants are typically funded for 4 years only).

Look out and see the horizon and
notice how at sundown all the colors
of nature come out and reveal to all
below the beauty of the sky. Take
time and notice that many seem
locked in a permanent gaze downward, as if in anticipation of the
assignment to be soon given by the
faculty. Take time and notice that
there is more to life than school and
work and the daily grind. Notice that
we should learn not only from books
but also from the world around us.
Not even the best machine can produce the good feelings of warmth
that the sun gives to all. I thought
that before the start of finals week
and the ever-present holiday season,
that I should share a thought rather

"Dogma-- one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time."
Dogma is a grand satire of the structure and practice of religions.
In this case, Catholicism happens to be the example. The movie
brings up controversial questions about the interpretation of God
and Jesus the Messiah. As an example, Cardinal Glick thinks the
crucified Jesus is too "depressing" for people, and resorts to a cartoon-like buddy Jesus giving the thumbs-up sign.
Dogma exposes other controversial ideas such as God as a
female, Jesus not being white, and Mary and Joseph having children after the virgin birth of Jesus, The movie asks the questions: If
these were the cases, would the religion change? Would the people
take the religion the same way? Would it make any difference to
the overall message of the religion?
After a blatant disclaimer to "cover one's ass," Dogma opens
with the Cardinal Glick (George Carlin) announcing the rededication of his New Jersey church as part of his "Catholicism WOW!"
campaign. Meanwhile, in a Wisconsin airport two fallen angels,
Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Ben Affleck), receive an anonymous letter informing them of the rededication and a church decree
that anyone who enters the church arches comes out cleaned from
sin.
For disobedience, God sent Loki and Bartleby to live with the
humans until the end of time. After the end of life, the fallen angels
are condemned to sit in front of the gates of heaven. Getting a
"clean slate" ensures the fallen angels a way back into heaven, so
Loki and Bartleby make their way toward the east coast.
At the same time, Bethany (Lindo Fiorentino), a doubtful
Catholic working in an abortion clinic, is visited by the voice of
God Metetron (Alan Rickman). Metetron tells Bethany of the news
and sends her on a mission to prevent the angels from entering
thechurch. On the way to New Jersey, Bethany teams up with the
prophets Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Dogma Director
Kevin Smith), the 13th apostle Rufus (Chris Rock), and the muse
Serendipity (Salma Hayek) to achieve the will of God.
This is a must-see movie for any person not easily offended by
the questioning of the structure of religion. The movie is classified
as a comedy, but the moments where comedy and theology intertwine may make the deeply devout or narrow minded miss the
overall message of the movie: Why do we believe in what to do?
Why can't we have ideas instead of believing anything?

"Turn your face away from the garish light

If you have never been to a theatrical production then the Phantom
of the Opera is an excellent opportunity to indulge your senses. An
elaborate recreation of the Paris Opera House sets the mystical mood
for Andrew Lloyd Webber's renowned musical. The plot goes back in
time to the Opera House in 1881 and relates the story of Christine
Daae, played by Rebecca Pitcher, who struggles with fate, fear, and
love. The Phantom, portrayed with emotion by Brad Little, is lustfully
entranced with Christine and pushes her career to the top through
Opera House hauntings. Fickle Christine is torn between her f ather's
dying words, Raoul (a childhood boyfriend), and the p oj^rijal "Angel
of Music." Christine eventually chooses R aouMSftf

Becoming More Aware of AIDS in Our Community
By Chandra Osborn, Peer Educator (CAPS) for The Pride
Many people fail to realize the
extent to which AIDS thrives
within a community. More
importantly, they lack the understanding that "it could happen to
me."
For many years, we have been
fed information on HIV and
AIDS. The need for prevention
and awareness has literally been
shoved down our throats.
Information overload may distance ourselves from the disease.
Thus, we continually forget how
important it is to acknowledge
that HIV is still alive; we fail to
realize that we are responsible
for controlling its spread. More
importantly, it is essential that we
remind ourselves that HIV can
affect our lives, and/or those we
love.
Many are unaware that North
County is the home for the only
two licensed care facilities for
men and women who are living
with AIDS in all of San Diego
County: Fraternity House, which
is located in Escondido, and
Michaelle House, which is located in Vista. Recently, another

The recently formed

publicized their first newsletter,
The Mind

Connection, last week to
introduce themselves to the
campus community. The publication is the first in a
planned series of four for the
academic year, and is funded
by a grant from the State
Lottery Commission, the
California Lottery.
This year students on our campus are having the pleasure of studying
under guest professor Christian Ferrer from the Marne-La-Vallee in Paris,
France. Professor Ferrer began teaching in 1968, and has instructed in many
schools around the globe. For Ferrer's first visit to the U.S. he chose to take
the opportunity to teach at CSUSM.
Ferrer prefers to work wherever h e travels, rather than to visit as a tourist.
He says, "I learn much more about America at CSUSM than I would at
Disneyland." Ferrer is currently teaching two courses here. They are "Death
in Contemporary French Literature" and "British Romance Poetry," and work
with such authors as Camus, Ionesco, Coleridge, and Shelley.
Professor Ferrer earned his first Masters of English at La Sorbonne Paris,
and then continued his education in England at Manchester and Lancaster
where he earned his Masters in English Linguistics. Only four years after
beginning his career he entered "l'Agregation" in English Linguistics, a competitive: "exam" taken by 2,000 candidates, and ranked fifth amongst all.
Unfortunately, Professor Ferrer must depart for France at the end Of the
semester, but he hopes to soon return. "I am a very, very happy CSUSM
t eacher... and I am hooked on California sunsets."
One example of collaboration under the HCDS banner
was the "Great American
Smoke Out" display in
Founder's Plaza on Thursday,
November 18. Peer facilitators from CAPS and the
Student Health Advisory
Board members joined forces
to promote a smoke-free day
and lifestyle. HCDS has also
finalized plans to promote
"HIV/AIDS Awareness Day"
on becember I, and has tentative plans for a pre-holiday
"Alcohol Awareness Day,"
said Nicholson.
The publication is dedicated to the late Sandra R.
Kuchler, who is noted as "one
of the pioneers of CSUSM's
student services programs."

On Monday, November 15, President Sun Zhong Qing and Zhang Ting Guo, Director
of International Relations, made a special visit to Cal State San Marcos on behalf of
Yantai University in the People's Republic of China. The distinguished guests were welcomed by the President's Cabinet, given a tour of the campus with Russ Decker, spoke
with Chinese students, and met with various department faculties.
Yantai's enrollment of 6,700 full-time and 3,000 part-time students make it very similar to CSUSM, although their university is several years older. Zhang noted the many
fields of study that are offered at Yantai which include science, engineering, literature, art,
international business, and marine studies.

At the moment, CSUSM and Yantai University are in the planning process of furthering contact between the two campuses. Some projects in the works include the possibility
of . Yantai sending over a faculty member for training in Computer Science and CSUSM
B.A's and M.A.'s teaching English in China for a year.
Yantai University President Sun and International Relations Directbr Zhang conversed
with Colleges of Business, Language, and Literature faculty. Literature and Writing
Studies department chair Dr. Yuan noted that currently there is no Chinese Studies program at CSUSM, but there may be the possibility of a cultural immersion program with
universities like Yantai in the future*
Dr. Yuan had visited Yantai University with Peter Zwick, Sheldon Lou, and President
Bill Stacy in October of 1996. Located in the Shandong Province of China, Dr. Yuan
states that Yantai University is at "at the edge of the sea" and describes it as "very pretty
and right near the beach." Since the signing of a formal agreement at theinitial meeting of
the two universities, two CSUSM students have traveled to Yantai University to teach
English between 1996-1998.

New Biotech
Certificate Offered
at CSUSM
By Joni Miller
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
A new certificate program will be
offered at CSUSM in February 2000
to provide practical, hands-on training in Biotechnology. Ten courses
offered in the spring will focus on
ensuring marketable skills in the
biotech field.
* Loan programs are available.
Each course carries 1.5 continuing
education units. Successful completion of six of the courses is required
to qualify for the certificate. The
five-week classes are open to anyone, and are priced at $325.00 each.
In response to a growing need for
workers ready for employment, the
program will enhance the skills and
knowledge of science students.
Craig Halverson, Director of
Regulatory Affairs with Gen-Probe,
Inc. helped plan the idea and will be
an instructor of the program. "There
are not enough candidates applying
for jqjbs that support laboratory
research - jobs that are ancillary to
the laboratories," Halverson said.

I would be naive to compare my first opera experience with performances in the great opera centers, but for this
novice, it was a perfect introduction to opera. The Western Opera Theatre, San Francisco Opera's touring company, comprised of young artists, performed Mozart's lighthearted masterpiece Don Giovanni, on Friday, October 15, as a part of
the 1999 -2000 season at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido.

English subtitles flashed on a screen above the stage, translating the Italian lyrics. The twenty-seven-piece orchestra
played vivaciously, and the cast skillfully displayed their talents. The costumes and stage design were modest in compari d h f por
ison to operas I have seen on PBS, but they were no less effective, given the nature of a traveling production that moves
from one city to the next. The lighting and special effects added to the haunting scenes with Don Giovanni in the cemetery—especially as he falls into thefiresof hell. From the dark grandeur of the Commandant's scene to the daintiness of

Zerlina' arias, the performance exhilarated my soul and unlocked the desire to experience more "high culture."
Originally performed at the National Theatre, Prague, on October 29,1787, the opera revolves around the womanizing

(James Creswell), comes to her aid only to be slain by Giovanni. Donna Anna and her fiancee, Don Ottavio (John

�Recycling Changes...
CSUSM will begin changing recycling containers this Friday,
October 22. Over the next two weeks the university will eliminate
the familiar blue mixed paper containers and replace them with
black containers. This change is as a result of a new policy at
EDCO, the local waste management company. EDCO now has
increased capability to sort paper at their plant, which eliminates
the need to do so here on campus. The new black containers will
hold the following:
Newspaper
Mixed office paper
Magazines, junk mail and slick brochures
Chip board and file folders
Bound books, except hard covers
Telephone books
Greenbar paper
Ream wrappers
Envelopes, including those with styrene windows
Pizza boxes (all food removed)
Cereal and cracker boxes
Paper not acceptable for recycling:
Restroom paper
Kitchen paper (napkins, paper plates, food containers)
Hardbound books
Please remove as much metal and hard plastic as possible, including spiral bindings and clips. Staples are acceptable but should be
minimized. We discourage Post-It Notes and Astro Brites,
though they won't "pollute the load" as they did in the past.
Other categories are as follows:
Glass— except window glass and very dark wine bottles
Plastic bottles—all are accepted except dark blue
Aluminum remains the same.
"With your support and cooperation, we expect our recycling program to grow and make a difference in our environment while
saving our precious natural resources for the future."

reveals how the Greek statue Nike,
a symbol for victory, inspired her
to create her sculpture: "My challenge now is to live day by day
with the same trust I have when
my art is unfolding." Minto continues, "Ray Bradbury said, 'You
have to jump off cliffs all the time
and build your wings on the way
down.' For me, completing the
Nike was like graduating to a new
stage of life, being transformed
from an earth-bound being to a
woman who can fly."
In addition to showing online
exhibitions, Professor Small's discussion dealt with chemical companies that produce carcinogens
(non-inherited environmental fac-
tors that can cause cancers).
"Cancer is not only an epidemic,
but also a booming business," says
Professor Small. She pointed out
that some companies may be both
the cause and the cure for some
cancers. Particular companies may
release toxic chemicals in the environment. For example there are
companies, like one named
Zeneca, that create tamoxifen, a
drug that can be used to treat some
breast cancers.
At the same time, Zeneca has
also been known to produce "carcinogenic herbicides" and pesticides.
Professor Small also discussed
"super-fund sites," Which are
extremely toxic chemical sites
found in the United States and
other countries. "There are things
we can do to clean up our environment," comments Professor Small.
She felt that the public should at
least be aware and informed in
hopes that individuals may reduce
their exposure to the toxicity in
their environment.
Professor Small became interested in cancer research in 1983
when she studied the Bikini
Islands that underwent nuclear
testing by the United States from
the 1940's and 1950's. She says
that studies like these have influenced her sensitivity to cancer.

DEAR EDITORS:
This letter is in response to Joni Miller's letter regarding National Coming Out
Day. Joni made several comments implying CSUSM is a hateful, bigoted, discriminatory school. I don't know what part of campus Joni attends, but I have seen none
of this.
This is my second semester at this school and never once have I received any
backlash for the rainbow necklace I wear, the pride stickers on my car, or my openness about my sexuality. Most all my classmates know I am gay, including all the
students in my GEL class, who, when I came out during a class discussion about
diversity, didn't bat an eye. Almost every student in my GEL class is just out of high
school, and everyone knows high schoolers' reputation for acceptance of diversity. I
have held two different jobs on campus and have been openly out at both of them. I
never felt any opposition in either setting. I also have four openly gay friends on
campus and none of them have ever told me about any discrimination they have felt.
One of them is a member of a fraternity and even he proudly displays pride stickers
on his car without any problems. I'll admit that I was not at National Coming Out
Day; however, it was not because I was afraid. It was because I came out a LONG
time ago, and I urge others t o do the same,

'FREE' SPEECH IN THE 'FREE' MARKET
By David Gottwald
Amidst all the normal confusion and stress that comes with the beginning of each new
semester, something decidedly abnormal struck me this Fall. While wandering the
Commons searching for old friends and new classes, I was constantly bombarded with an
array of products not unlike the local Escondido Swap Meet. In the course of one fifteenminute interval, I was asked to try Sparkletts water, get a spine adjustment evaluation, lay
down (in what looked like a vinyl iron maiden) for a massage, and was persistently
hounded by at least four different major credit card companies.
Now I 'm sick enough at the thought of CSUSM turning into a deplorable University of
North County Fair, but it was these credit card fellows that really got my goat. Unlike the

OAF Ordinary Americans against Fanaticism
By Andrea Cavanaugh
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
I've noticed that a "new" club
has been circulating literature
around campus recently. The
Young Americans for Freedom,
or YAF, that campus group you
thought disappeared long ago,
has resurfaced once again. YAF
says it "supports choices," many
of which seem to profoundly
affect my freedom. So, in
response, I 've decided to form
my own club, Ordinary
Americans against Fanaticism,
or OAF. Some of the items on
the YAF fliers circulating around
campus caught my eye, and, as
president, founder, and sole
member of OAF, I want to
respond to them here.
YAF says it supports the
choice to own any gun. OAF is
against being shot. OAF feels
that being shot goes against, not
for, freedom. OAF says, guns
d on't kill people, people with
unlimited access to guns kill
people: OAF says, if YAF members can own any gun they want,
let's lock up the ammunition.
YAF says it supports the
choice to deport illegal aliens.
OAF wants to know who's
going to bus YAF's table and
clean YAF's toilet when the illegals are gone? OAF sure isn't
going to. Is YAF saying that

Have you noticed the officers in blue on campus?
You may see them walking through the Dome and perhaps on a bicycle if our new Chief of Police Thomas
Schultheis has his way. But you WILL SEE them.
After taking over the helm here as CSU San Marcos,
Chief Schultheis implemented a 24-hour, round-theclock communication center for our campus protection.
"We are always o pen," says the Chief.
Coming on board in an interim role November 1 of
last year, the 22-year veteran, Captain Schultheis, was
on loan from SDSU. He was officially appointed on
January 1, 1999, as Chief of Police at CSU San
Marcos.
A new addition to the Police Department also
included Lt. Glen from the CSU Long Beach campus.
Lt. Glen has extensive experience in disaster preparedness areas and training with critical response units..
The Chief hopes to increase our partnership with the
community and other nearby law enforcement agencies.
Higher visibility is an important goal of the department. Although their office is physically located off
Barham, at 441 La Moree, in the University Services
Building, the department has plans to open a "storefront" desk operation on campus to furnish crime prevention material, obtain a photo ID and allow easy
access for students.

Safety of the students is a primary concern for the department. With well-lighted parking lots, and low shrubs,
Schultheis feels that the campus gives a strong sense of safety. The department also offers a free escort service in
the evenings for anyone who requests it. In the event of an emergency, students can call the emergency line at
750-3111 or pick up any "blue code" phone in the parking lots for a direct line to the police.
Chief Schultheis would like to encourage students to bring concerns, complaints, compliments, and suggestions
to the department. He says, "We need the feedback to better serve our community." You can reach the police

increase our number of spaces by 200 " Williams added that Parking Services has applied for an
exemption from the CSU regulations so that they can be authorized to build 600 new parking
spaces.
He also stipulates that money generated through tickets must be split with San Diego County,
and that the Parking Services half "goes to alternative means of transportation," like the campus
shuttle and the "Bike to Work Day" promotion.
Williams added that they spent over $80,000 during the summer for improvements to existing
lots, including new signs and new electronic Daily Ticketers. The installation of the new electron
ic Daily Ticketers also prompted the removal, on October .10, of the coin-operated visitor parking
meters. The new machines can sell permits that are vali4 for half-hour increments as well as for all
day and eliminate the need for the aging coin-only meters. The twenty spaces were equally divided
between student and faculty-only use because students aren't the only drivers with a need for more
available parking spaces.
Williams says that applications for Spring 2000 permits will be mailed in November and that the
fee is still $62. "We would rather have you buy a permit, then we can put those funds back into new
lots. If we give tickets we only get half of the money and we have to use that money for alternative
transportation."
DEAR EDITORS:
This letter concerns the mid-semester change of policy that revokes facultyparking permits for Graduate Assistants.
Our position, as General Education Writing Instructors, is not that of the
perceived teaching assistant. We are instructors of record, responsible for
lectures, assignments, conferences, office hours, and final grade submissions. We perform the same duties as adjunct faculty. In fact, as General
Education Writing Instructors, due to the intense reading and writing curriculum design of the course, our workload is extensive. Each of us strives
to provide the type of instruction that will ensure each student develops the
strong critical thinking and written communication skills necessary for success throughout his or her academic career. To facilitate our classes, we,
like other instructors, need to carry extra books, handouts, and other teaching materials imperative for providing the conscientious instruction for
which we strive.
An inability to park in the faculty lot will hinder our curriculum development, as we will be forced to reevaluate the way we support our students'
needs.
In view of the level of service we provide to the University, we respectfully
request to retain our faculty permits.

New Faucet Change Complies with
ADA Standards
Mike Spangler
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
It is nice to give recognition to someone on
campus, especially for a j ob well-done.
Whether they realize it or not, Facilities'
Maintenance Mechanic Phyllis Ferguson has
students' and the university's best interests at
heart, and she takes pride in her work. "It really
bothers me when we see things that don't work
and we walk right by," says Ferguson.
In recent weeks, Phyllis, who will have
worked at CSUSM for four years come
November, changed 36 faucets in Academic
Hall. She wasn't supposed to. She was supposed to just repair the existing faucets and
only replace any needed parts. Apparently the
mixing chamber of the push-down type faucets
were malfunctioning, causing some students to
be scalded by unexpectedly hot water. Not long
after beginning the string of repairs, Phyllis
realized there was a better way. And a lessexpensive way.
Phyllis recognized that the cost in man-hours
to dismantle, diagnose, replace malfunctioning
parts (yet another expense), and reassemble the
existing units was just too much. And especially for faucets that hadn't undergone any routine
maintenance for seven years. She learned that
the cost to replace the entire unit with an identical model ($189 each) was also too much. Then
she realized that the push-down faucets did not
comply with standards defined in the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). So she
proposed to her supervisor, Chuck Walden, the
Assistant Director of Facilities, that the faucets
be replaced with less expensive ($52.64 each)
and ADA approved fixtures like the Simmons
Finished Brass Specialty Faucet. Not long after
she drafted a formal proposal and performed a
three-faucet sample her idea was approved and
all of Academic Hall was fitted with new
faucets.
If the faucets hadn't undergone routine maintenance for seven years and Phyllis has been on
campus for four years, then why hadn't she
worked on the faucets earlier? Because Phyllis
only just earned the title of Maintenance
Mechanic after earning Journey-level status in
three trades. Previously Phyllis specialized only
in carpentry and painting. Plumbing is the most
recent skill she ha$ acquired.
What other changes are next on her list?
"The water fountains. I would like to see the
water fountains maintained a little better,"
humbly adding "good teamwork is what gets
things done. Don Soriano and Floyd Dudley are
very instrumental in accepting my ideas and
getting them implemented."
When asked why she would do so much for
such little recognition Phyllis replied with visible sincerity "I care about my students and I
like what I do. I 'll always go the extra mile
because I like my job."
I regard my faculty/staff parking status as more than a privilege. It is a
necessity. I teach two GEW 101 classes with a combined total of 41 students. I carry a briefcase. I carry a full semester's lesson plans in a 4-inch
binder. I carry three textbooks at all times, which do not include videos,
other texts or handouts I may require for any class session. In addition, I
carry two file boxes, one for each class. These contain my students' essays,
quizzes and exercises. Each student i s required to write nine essays
throughout the semester with a revision required for each essay.
This translates into approximately 738 essays for me to carry and does
not include additional revisions students will present for my comments
throughout the semester. For example, last week, I collected 80 essays from
my students. All essays had to be carried to my car and, once graded, they
had to be carried to my classroom from the car. The paraphernalia I require,
and acquire, due to my teaching responsibilities at CSUSM is bulkier and
heavier than any backpack I ever carried as a student. Further, my teaching
paraphernalia is unmanageable in terms of carting it from the bottom of the
student parking lot to my faculty office in Craven Hall 3106.
Furthermore, the CSUSM Fall Schedule of classes identifies the individual teaching my sections (and all other sections) of GEW courses as "staff."
Therefore, I would argue that the university acknowledges my position
as a member of its staff, which does in fact entitle me, and all other
"staff'/graduate students, to staff parking. If that is not the case, then I must
consider the possibility that CSUSM administration applies the term "staff"
in conjunction with the courses I teach improperly. The use of this term in
the schedule to describe my position in th& GEW classroom implies something to prospective students of CSUSM. It implies something you indicate
by your "policy" decision is not the case. The term implies that qualified
"staff" rather than lowly graduate students give instruction at CSUSM.
I possess a faculty ID card. I enjoy faculty privileges in the library, media
center, and copy center. I have a faculty e-mail address. I have building and
office keys, a faculty phone number and an office. I hold office hours twice
weekly. I have access to those services on campus that assist me, and all
faculty, in offering students at CSUSM the best, and most effective, education we can provide. I receive a paycheck from the state of California for
teaching at CSUSM. And, until this week, I possessed faculty-parking privileges. How is it that parking services and the business division at CSUSM
can determine that I am not what I know myself to be, and what this institution has identified me as being—a member of the faculty?
I appreciate that faculty parking can be a challenge, but I believe there is
reason for discussion and consideration of other options before this decision
is implemented. In reasonable and practical terms, revocation of my faculty/staff access to the campus is not logical and penalizes me, and the twenty-three other instructors in my position, as faculty/staff and as student. I
would appreciate the opportunity to meet and discuss this with you, and to
demonstrate to you the physical realities of what your decision requires of
me.

State health officials offer
these safeguards to avoid Plague:
1) Avoid contact with wild
rodents. 2) Do not feed rodents in
picnic or campground areas. 3)
Never handle sick or dead
rodents. 4) Avoid walking, hiking or camping near rodent burrows. 5) Wear long pants tucked
into boot tops to reduce exposure
to fleas. Spray insect repellent on
socks and trousers cuff. 6)
People living in areas where
plague is known to occur should
keep wild rodents out of homes,
trailers and outbuildings.
Health officials also cite the
early symptoms of Plague as
high fever, chills, nausea, weakness and swollen glands in the
neck, arm pit or groin, and advise
that people who develop these
symptoms seek immediate medical attention.
"It was such a frightful thing
that when it got into a house . . .
no one remained." "It" was the
Plague, and in the fourteenth
century, Marchione di Coppo
Stefani published The Florentine
Chronicle, a text that gives us a
vivid account of the Plague and
its destruction. Its devastation
was felt throughout Europe,
where it is estimated that onethird of Europe's population succumbed to this epidemic. "Many
died unseen. So they remained in
their beds until they stank."
Today, the Plague still exists,
but without the devastating loss
of life. According to California
StateOffice of Public Affairs, 37
cases of the plague have been
confirmed in California, including one in 1998. With prompt
diagnosis and proper treatment,
the disease is curable in its early
stages, but may be fatal if left
untreated. There have been no
cases of the Plague reported in
San Diego County.
The fourteenth-century Plague
and the twentieth-century Plague*
are the same one. H ie disease is
caused by a bacterium called
Yersinia pestis, and is transmitted
from rodent to rodent, by fleas.
When an infected animal
becomes sick and dies, the fleas
look for a new host. Animals and
people can become host to these
infected fleas and contract the
disease. The difference between
the Plague of medieval Europe
and the present Plague exists in
the treatment and understanding
of the disease process. In fourteenth century Europe, the concept of antibiotics lay undiscovered, and disease transmission
was not understood. The
Europeans did, however, realize
that quarantine seemed to reduce
the spread of disease.
Unfortunately, without the
antibiotics necessary to destroy
the bacteria, Y. pestis, had free
reign over its hosts.
Giovanni Boccacio (The
Decameron) described the symptoms of a fourteenth-century victim of the Plague beginning with
"the appearance of certain
The P Ugue
swellings in the groin or the
armpit" referred to as "gavocciloi." The disease progressed
with the spread of these "gavocciloi" and then, "the symptoms
of the disease changed, and many
people began to find dark blotches and bruises on their arms,
thighs, and other parts of the
body," until death occurred. And
according to Boccacio, "few of
those who caught it ever recovered, and in most cases death
occurred within three days from
the appearance of the symptoms."
The typical disease progression today would sound like the
case taken from California's
Monthly Morbidity Report
(11/95): May 1995, Kern County.
A 57-year-old white female was
admitted to the hospital with the
history of four days of fever,
headache, pain and swelling of
the right ankle and inguinal area
(groin or lower abdomen), vomiting, and loose stools. The
inguinal swelling was confirmed
to be a bubo (inflamed or
swollen lymph node) infected
with y. pestis, and the woman
was treated with the proper
antibiotics. She remained in the
hospital for approximately ten
days, and was released in good
condition.
The Plague does exist, and
will continue to exist.

CSUSM reduces, reuses, recycles its way to sustainability
BY KATUN SWEENEY
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
While a rapidly growing
university has the potential
to generate large amounts
of waste, CSUSM is taking action to ensure that the
campus maintains its commitment to sustainability
through various initiatives.
Sustainability
encompasses a wide variety of efforts, including water and
energy conservation, recycling, waste management
and air quality. By prioritizing these methods, CSUSM
helps to reduce the negative
impacts on the environment
that come from consuming
large amounts of resources.
Recently the campus has
seen a surge in sustainability
efforts. In the last year, the
Sustainability Master Plan
was implemented on campus and the Sustainability
Manager, Juliana GoodlawMorris, was hired. Last se-

that CSUSM is still a top
program whose efforts are
making tremendous strides
towards
sustainability.

Diversity Mapping Project results show progress, opportunités
BY SYDNEY SCHABACKER
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
In the Fall semester of
2014, Halaulani and Associates was hired to do a diversity mapping of CSUSM. The
results are now available,
and while CSUSM is strong
in many areas, there are still
improvements to be made.
In order to conduct the diversity study, Halaulani and
Associates held three campus visits with 28 group or
one-to-one sessions, as well
as online open forums, with
students, faculty and staff.
They received 196 responses, which were reviewed,
coded and cataloged. An additional part of the study was
information that was submitted by CSUSM, totaling 525
different documents. The
aim was an in-depth look
at CSUSM's diversity efforts over the last four years.
Rona Halaulani, Principal
and Founder of Halaulani
and Associates, remarks
that this critical analysis,
"[Takes] a very deep look
The Diversity Mapping Project res s were presented recently to students, culty and staff.
at the nature and quality of diversity....It s not how
many things you've done,
it's the quality and effects
that we're able to analyze."
What Halaulani was looking for was a level of effectiveness in two areas:
Diversity Efforts and Diversity Courses. Diversity Efforts is anything outside the
classrooms such as events,
f
programs and initiatives that
relate to diversity, inclusion and culture. Diversity
Courses are Undergraduate and Graduate programs
that appear in the most recent catalogs that either feature or mention diversity.
The analysis was presented
to President Hayes in December 2014 in the form of a slide
cast, which can be viewed at
http://www.csusm.edu/equity.diversitymapping .html.
There are seven maps total. Three of them focus on
Diversity Efforts by unit,

taxonomy, and four of them
focus on Diversity Courses

seven maps, Halaulani notes
several key themes. First and
foremost, there appears to be
identity politics, where some
people speak up about diversity while others are muted,
which leads to politics of
speaking around diversity. In
addition, there are elements
of diversity without social
justice, and there is some
over-inclusion at the expense
of real advancement on diversity issues. Some of these
issues can be attributed to the
campus trying to be too careful regarding issues of diversity, not wanting to offend.
Further, while the campus
is committed to diversity, it
is not demonstrably committed to core issues of race.
"All of these will impede
CSUSM's progress," Halaulani said. "Since while
everyone is on board, they
don't look at how inclusion
is connected to inequality."
Students had much to say
on the subject of campus diversity during this study. An
overarching comment is that
there needs to be more action
by administrators regarding
diversity action, and more
recognition and assistance
dealing with microaggressions in the classrooms. This
student sentiment was r e
fleeted by almost 82 percent
of the faculty that participated in the data collection. The

Remembering late Lauren Wallace Childers

T H E COUGAR CHRONICLE, W E D N E S D A Y , MARCH 4 , 2 0 1 5
Celebrating life, legacy of former Kineseology student
B Y K A T U N S WEENEY
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
With heavy hearts, the
CSUSM community has
come together to mourn
the loss of our beloved
alumni and friend, Lauren Wallace Childers.
Childers passed away on
Feb. 3, at age 24,fromcomplications of pneumonia.
She is survived by her husband Wyatt, parents, Patricia
and Randy, sister Lindsey,
19 and brother Ryan, 19.
Childers was a highly
admired member of the
Kinesiology Department,
where she excelled in her
academics and made countless friends. She had a passion for exercise physiology, biomechanics and
nutrition, a knowledge set
that helped her inform her
friends about the benefits of
health and fitness. Childers
later became a trainer to
motivate others to prioritize their exercise regimens
by creating fun workouts.
"She was a very competitive person, she knew how
to be competitive enough
to where she was still being somewhat modest about
it, but enough to where
you knew it was game on,"
said Childers* best friend,
Ali Cullors. "It was that
competitive drive though
that allowed Lauren to excel at so much, whether it
was school, sports or life
in general. There was always something she felt that
she could be or do better."
"Lauren's spirit was contagious. She had a thirst for
life," said fellow CSUSM
graduate and childhood
friend, Heather Williams.
"She never saw the bad in
any situation but rather the
opportunity for adventure.
She was a friend to everyone, she was the truest, kindest and most selfless person I
have had the honor to know.
Although her life was short, it
was influential. She touched
the lives of so many with her
spark. I wish I could have
met her sooner, so I could
have admired her for longer."
While at CSUSM, Childers
worked at Kellogg Library,
where she would meet her
future husband Wyatt. They
got married on Jan. 8, 2011
and spent their honeymoon
in Hawaii. They became involved with CrossFit, where
Childers excelled as a competitor and realized her
dream to become a CrossFit
coach. Childers' bond with
her husband was a strong
and loving marriage that
led her parents to refer to
them as a "Dream Team."
"From the moment I met
her I knew that Lauren was
the friendliest and most welcoming person in my life,"
Lauren's husband, Wyatt
Childers said. "She had this
way with people that I still
don't understand. Talking
to her just made whatever I
was going through that much
easier. It was evident by the
amount of people at the service how many lives she had
touched. She was my better
half and I thank God everyday
for letting me be a part of her
short, but meaningful life."
In addition to her academic and work success,
Childers was admired for
her kindness and passion
for life. She approached
every day with a smile and
positive attitude, leading by
example for the rest of us.
" 'I got a lifetime of knowledge.' This was one quote
that Lauren always said,"
Cullors said. "It is from one
of our favorite movies, She's
the Man, and whenever there
was an opportune time to
use this line she would. She
was a very intelligent, funny
and vibrant person. She had
gained so much knowledge
through school and life experiences and utilized all that
she learned to the fullest."
At her graduation ceremony from CSUSM in
2012, Childers graduated
Magna Cum Laude and
was awarded seven of the
eight possible honor cords
a graduate can receive. Her
determination, hard work
and drive are traits that the
Kinesiology Department
fondly remember her for.
"Lauren was the type of
student that you remember,"
Kinesiology Department
Chair, Dr. Jeff Nessler, said.
"Her hard work and talent
were certainly noteworthy,
but her personality and character are what made her stand

CSUSM continues to improve its sustainability efforts
Sustainability Master Plan outlines campus goals
B Y C HELSEY S CHWEITZER
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
Even after 25 years,
CSUSM is still striving to
improve sustainability in the
face of expansion and plans
to follow the guidelines laid
out in the Sustainability Master Plan to achieve this goal.
Sustainability is the practice of preventing the depletion of natural resources
and reducing the harm done
to the environment in order
to preserve the state of the
planet for the future. Over
the last decade, the campus
was recognized nationally
for its sustainability efforts
with several awards due to
the recycling programs that
were set up as well as energy
and water conservation programs that were developed.
Going forward, the campus
will continue to look for new
ways to make progress in the
field of sustainability while
paying special attention to
student life, campus climate, academic excellence,
community partnerships
and educational equity as
outlined in the University's
Sustainability Master Plan.
"We have to continue to
set a good example and work
to preserve the planet for
the future," said student Aly
Wilson, who is currently in
her second year on campus.
Over the past 25 years,
CSUSM has worked tirelessly to increase overall campus sustainability.
Through the promotion of
alternate forms of transportation, including public transit
and car pools, the campus
helped cut back on the green-

house gas emission caused
by car exhaust by reducing
the amount of single occupant commuters on campus.
In addition to the reduced
emissions resulting from
cars, the campus reduced the
amount of energy used by
"40 percent since 2008," according to the Sustainability
Master Plan. The University
accomplished this through
the use of renewable sources
of energy like solar panels
and the minimization of the
overall amount of energy
used throughout its facilities.
The Sustainability Master Plan highlights the energy use goals by stating
that the University hopes
to "one day produce as
much renewable energy
as the campus consumes."
Waste management is another area of sustainability
that has progressed over the
years. The amount of paper
waste has been steadily decreasing through the use of
electronic communication
for classes and the use of
hand driers instead of paper
towels in the bathrooms. In
addition, water bottle refill
stations were added to the
drinking fountains in order to
reduce the amount of plastic
waste generated on campus.
Ryan Nieto, a fourth-year
student, offered his own ideas as to how CSUSM could
further decrease the amount
of waste among students
and promote sustainability.
The recycling program that
was established on campus
has also yielded a highly
positive result in terms of
sustainability, with a current recycling rate of over
70 percent. According to
the Sustainability Master
Plan, the campus aims to
"accelerate waste minimization efforts in order to
achieve zero waste by 2025."
Living in Southern California, water is another area that
is cause for concern in sustainability. In order to reduce
the amount of water used,
the campus uses local well
water for the purpose of irrigation, maintains primarily
drought tolerant and edible
plants and closely monitors
the amount of water used by
the campus. The ecosystems
of the region are also closely
studied in order to ensure
that the campus has no negative impact on the surrounding land, plants and animals.
With more than 14,000
students, faculty and staff
currently on campus, a
number that is projected
to grow substantially in
the coming years, sustainability has been a pressing matter for the campus.
"As the university expands
in the years ahead, CSUSM
will need to do so in a way
that supports and advances
sustainability," says the
Sustainability Master Plan.
In order to achieve this
goal, any future buildings
will be set to the specific
campus standards regarding
water, energy, environmental, waste and land management techniques that have
previously been set in place.
Professors can also help
students learn how to aid
campus sustainability, as
many of them are teaching sustainability in the
classrooms, and will occasionally even do class projects related to the topic.
"By using the campus as
a living laboratory and by
ensuring students are learning about different sustainability issues and innovative critical thinking skills
to solve some of our most
pressing issues as a nation
and globally, CSUSM is ensuring students are prepared
for careers in a wide variety
of areas and are leaders as
they go out into the job market," said Juliana GoodlawMorris, the Sustainability Manager at CSUSM.
In this way, CSUSM is
set to continue at the forefront of sustainability efforts.
As stated in the Sustainability Master Plan, "[The
vision is to] meet our present needs without diminishing the abilities of future
generations to do the same."

Gender, Race and Money lecture provides
eye-opening insight on social inequality
T HE C OUGAR C HRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, M ARCH 4 , 2 0 1 5
BY NICOLE HOLMAN
ASSISTANT N EWS E DITOR
CSUSM recently hosted a lecture event that provided students with insight
to important social issues
and emphasized the need
for students to take action
On Wednesday, Feb. 18,
the Arts and Lecture event
entitled Gender, Race, and
Money was held in the USU
Ballroom where enigmatic performer and lecturer
Kimberly Dark spoke on
the various issues surrounding wealth distribution and
wage gaps in America.
Dark is a professor in both
the undergraduate Women's
Studies and graduate Sociology programs at CSUSM,
as well as an award-winning writer and presenter.
The USU Ballroom was
full as Dark spoke on a
wide range of topics, all
involving social inequalities in America and how
these inequalities affect
job opportunities and pay.
Dark used interactive activities to engage her audience as well as to provide a
visual representation of how
power imbalance works.

me see how unequal things
really are even though we
talk like America is completely equal," said lecture attendee and graduate
student, Brian Sanchez.
During one particularly
compelling discussion, Dark
addressed how the media
is increasingly portraying
wealthier lifestyles as the
"average American" lifestyle
and how that alters what
viewers perceive as "nor-
mal." In contrast, the only
television shows that portray
people with low incomes
are shows such as "Cops."
These representations only
contribute to negative stereotypes that prevent people
from any upward mobility
in terms of economic class.
"This lecture brought to
light social justice issues in
a way that doesn't blame
the individual, but the institutionalized powers in
place in society," said Tanya Camacho, a CSUSM
student in attendance.
Although Dark used a colloquial tone with her audience,
she did not shy away from
calling out the blatant racism

and sexism that occurs today
in job searches, income earnings and even relationships.
Dark also captivated the
audience by providing
graphs to illustrate that the
gender wage gap has not
improved in over a decade.
"Marriage is seen by employers as a stabilizing institution for men and a destabilizingoneforwomen,"Darksaid.
After taking time to answer the audience's questions, Dark emphasized that
even though there are long
standing power imbalances
in American society, it is the
job of students to learn about
these matters and help propel society to a better place.
HOPE and Wellness Center brings eating disorder awareness to CSUSM
B Y S ONNI S IMMONS
COMMUNITY N EWS E DITOR
National Eating Disorder Awareness Week held in February
CSUSM's HOPE and
Wellness Center emphasized the importance of
eating disorder awareness
by hosting a number of
educational and spirit-lifting events across campus.
Eating Disorder Awareness^
week was Celebrated during
the week of Feb. 23 to Feb.
27 on CSUSM's campus. The
National Eating Disorders
Association (NEDA) chose
the theme "I Had No Idea..."
for this year's awareness
week to illustrate the importance of early detection and
intervention because of the
common misinterpretation
of eating disorder symptoms
as insignificant. Bringing
awareness to college-aged
individuals is especially
important because of the
prominence of eating disorders on college ' campuses.
"[Eating disorders] have
proven to be prominent on
a college campus due to
the mindset that many col-
lege students have to fit in
and different assumptions
that have grown, such as the
Freshman 15," said Victoria
Sandoval, Peer Educator and
President of Active Minds.
Many events were held
in order to raise awareness for issues such as anorexia, bulimia and binge
eating disorders as well
as all manifestations of
body image obsession.
The events held on campus
included "Eating Disorders
Screening Day and Health
Fair" where students could
be screened for symptoms of
eating disorders, Stephanie
Covington Armstrong's discussion of her book "Not All
Black Girls Know How to
Eat - A Story of Bulimia" and
Benjamin O'Keefe's reception and keynote, highlighting his struggle with body
image as an Afro-American
gay male and his global
movement against sizedbased discrimination, especially with the Abercrombie
& Fitch clothing company.
"Eating disorders do not
discriminate and can affect
anyone regardless of race,
age, gender or sexuality," said
Cheryl Berry, Mental Health
Educator with the Student
Health and Wellness Center.
"Positive self-esteem, body
confidence, healthy nutrition
and knowing the signs and
symptoms of eating disorders can protect an individual against eating disorders ."
Knpwledge and awareness
of the dangers of eating disorders is the first step to the
physical and mental wellbeing of CSUSM students
and individuals everywhere.
"I firmly believe that
by knowing the signs and
symptoms of different eating disorders as a college
campus, we can significantly aid in bringing the
awareness that eating disorders need," Sandoval said.
If you or someone you
know may be struggling
with an eating disorder,

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
exposes students to issues in need of justice
B Y ANTHONY MICHAEL
TRAN
STAFF WRITER
Students recently gathered
for an event where they were
able to discover an important message hidden within
the depths of photography.
On Feb. 24, in the USU
ballroom, an event entitled
''Product of Mexico" took
place and was hosted by
Director Freddi Avalos of
CHABBS in Engaging Di-
verse Dialogues. Don Bartletti, a Pulitzer Prize- winning photojournalist from
Los Angeles Times, took the
audience ón a journey as he
showed his photos of exploits
in Mexico. These photos also
depicted the Castillo Family,
a poor, hardworking Mexican family who struggled
to survive as farm workers.
Bartletti explained that
some of the produce that is
sold in everyday grocery
stores such as Wal-Mart,
likely came directly from
Mexican farms where underage children, like 12-yearold Alejandrina Castillo, har-
vested fresh produce in order
to earn about $8 for a whole
day's work in the fields.
"The foods we eat have
invisible consequences that
most of us choose to overlook," Dr. Freddi Avalos said.
The poverty and misery
can be seen throughout Bartletti's showcase of photos. However, these photos
also provided the audience
with a sense of inspiration
as they saw these strong
groups of people doing their
best to make a living for the
sake of their families. They
couldn't afford to spend too
much of their hard-earned
money on buying new shoes
or clothes, because otherwise they wouldn't be able
to spend it on groceries,
clean water and other necessities for their household.
Bartletti took many enlightening photos of Alejandrina Castillo, along with
her family, as they all display their magnificent will to
work in order to sustain their
livelihood in the labor camp.
"Alejandrina said she
was always hungry and
tired while working in the
fields picking peppers and
tomatoes, yet she pushed
on to fill 60-pound sacks
that were almost as tall as
she was," said Bartletti.
Although the photos were
beautifully taken with precision and care, the most
important aspect of this art
is the intention and message
that Bartletti was trying to
portray. He is attempting to
spread the message that there
is so much more we can do
in order to contribute to the
proper care of these farm
workers who earn much less
than what they truly deserve.
Bartletti spoke about how
many of the farm workers
tried to complain about their
conditions to higher authori-
ties but were only met with
silence. The workers were
more than happy to tell their
story to Bartletti in order to finally have their voices heard.
Bartletti ended his presentation with a series of
videos along with some
of his other work from the
Los Angeles Times website. He also held a Q&A
for the audience who had a
lot of interesting questions.
Bartletti hopes that
CSUSM students will continue to spread the word
about these issues and make
the commitment to support Mexican farm workers.
Hiking through spring break, a new outdoor adventure
Campus Ree takes students to National Parks destinations
day trip to see three national
parks in Utah. These beautiful destinations include
Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park
and Zion National Park.
CSUSM's very own Kali
Holt, who graduated and has
come back to work on her
masters, went on this trip multiple times as a student and
will now be leading the outdoor spring break adventure.
' The Outdoor Spring
Break (O SB) trip is a
great opportunity to see
some of the most beautiful and famous landscapes
in the world," Holt said.
The trip will take place
from Saturday, March 28
through Saturday, April
4, and the group will depart from the Clarke Field
House. Sign-ups begin at
12 p.m. on Saturday, March
1, but get there early because space is limited.
There is an application
with a checklist of addition-
al documents that must be
completed and turned in during sign-ups so do not delay.
This national park experience is only $399 for students.
This price covers transportation, some food, admission
for all three national parks
and lodging. Good times and
memories are free, but remember they are perishable
so be sure to bring a camera.
Although there will be
plenty of- hiking and sightseeing in the desert, the
lodging is very accommodating with fully furnished hotels and hot tubs.
This is a school run trip
so students will get the
chance to learn the geology and history of each park
as well as environmental
responsibilities,
navigation and leadership skills.

detailed day-to-day itinerary, go to the CSUSM home

Due in part to these exciting events, the University
rejoined the ranks of 360
colleges in the nation that
earned recognition for their
commitment to the community. On Jan. 7, 2015,
CSUSM received the 2015
Community Engagement
Classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching.
Originally recognized in
2006, CSUSM once again
carries this prestigious distinction, valid through 2025.
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching is a national organization in charge of classifying all institutions of higher
education. This particular
classification, the Community Engagement Elective, was
initiated in 2006. This classification is evidence-based,
and institutions submit their
evidence in two categories:
Curricular Engagement, and
Outreach and Partnerships.
In order to be selected,
CSUSM submitted a 72page document that included
data and documentation of
its community involvement
and partnerships. In 2006,
CSUSM received classification in both categories, and
has done it again for 2015.
Community
involvement has always been a
central aspect of CSUSM.
In President Haynes's recent Report to the Community, she said, "Our unique
culture; our agility; our
forward focus on emerging regional, national and
global trends; and our commitment to community engagement have enabled
us to do amazing things."
Recently evaluated by
Halualani and Associates in
a Diversity Mapping Project, CSUSM strives to involve all students. Across
departments and divisions,
CSUSM works daily to
strengthen its already vibrant
college community by connecting CSUSM with the
surrounding communities.
"As a public university,
I believe that community
engagement is an obligation," said Haynes. "...It
builds on a core CSUSM
strength: putting academic
inquiry at the service of solving real-world problems."
Earning this classification validates the endeavors CSUSM has taken to
promote unity and engagement with all its students
and the larger community.

Sports Commentary: Will the new Sports Center be eco-friendly?
B Y B URTLAND D IXON
SPORTS EDITOR
Changes are stirring here
at CSUSM and around
the world, ones with environmental implications.
The student population
is increasing at a rapid rate
which has caused for our
campus to build new facilities to accommodate the
large number of students.
With the change from NAIA
to NCAA coming sooner
rather than later, the need
for our own gym is a necessity. Construction for
the new gym, or Sports
Center as it will be called,
has already commenced.
As f or the changes around
the world, it is vital for mankind to know that our ecosystem is slowly taking a
turn for the worse. However,
just like the recent addition
to the CSUSM campus, the
USU, the Sports Center
Insight on CSUSM's newest project
will go to great lengths to
stay as environmentally
responsible as possible.
What are some ways a
building can be eco-friendly? Well, for starters there
are the devices called solar
panels that drain the sun's
light and converts it into
free power. Unfortunately,
solar panels are not included
in the initial construction of
the Sports Center, but can
possibly be added on later.
"The new arena is being
built by student fees," Sustainability Manager, Juliana Goodlaw-Morris, said.
With the overall cost of
this project already at $11.4
million without solar panels,
our student fees would raise
higher if the plans included
the solar panels. Fortunately,
the Sports Center will be utilizing other resources and options outside of solar panels.
"They are going to be
building this building to

LEED silver specifications,"
Goodlaw-Morris
said.
This is good news for
multiple reasons. LEED is a
green building certification
program whose buildings
save money and resources
and have a positive impact on
the health of the occupants,
while promoting renewable,
clean energy. A building cannot be LEED certified if it
isn't up to sustainable measures that include water effi-
ciency, indoor environmental quality and materials and
resources. LEED has four
levels of specifications: certified, silver, gold and platinum. CSUSM is required
to have at least a minimum
level of silver with each
new building that is built,
an accomplishment many
institutions don't reach.
"Even getting LEED silver
specifications is a feat in itself, there are many schools
across the country that
don't have that as a standard," Goodlaw-Morris said.
What it comes down to essentially is the money and
that is always the case with
anything when it comes to
systems and corporations.
If the money was there the
solar panels would be installed and the Sports Center
would be up to LEED platinum specifications, simple
as that. That's just how the
cookie crumbles in this situation, the money just isn't
there, but the most is being
done to enable the Sports
Center to be as eco-fnendly
as it can be. As it would appear, CSUSM is doing its
part to adjust to both the university and worldly fluxes.
L.A. Gamo strives for greatness on and off diamond

The value and worth of
an athlete is more often
than not measured based on
their athletic performance
alone. However, the best
athletes in all sports are
those who are able to reinforce their athletic prowess
with their intelligence in the
sport they play and in the
vision they hold for their
athletic and personal lives.
Cal State San Marcos baseball player L.A. Gamo is one
of those admirable athletes
who holds an incredible understanding for the game he
loves and the role he plays
for his team. Gamo pointed
out that not only does he like
to be an offensive and defensive threat to opposing teams
but also a mental threat.
Gamo said that he takes
pride in his ability to be
the "guy to pick signs, read
the pitcher and find the
flaws in the other team,"
which results in wins for
the CSUSM baseball team.

the season, he started off as a

more time in the outfield
as his ability to understand
the game and his contributions are being recognized.
Perhaps Gamo's most admirable trait is reflected
in his desire to be someone that his teammates and
coaches can put their faith in.
"I want to be known as
the guy to be trusted to

L.A. Gamo and his ability
to apply his intelligence to
his love for baseball is a great
representation of the athletes
who thrive here at CSUSM.
Not only is Gamo confident
in his ability as a player, but
as a Communication major,
he seems to have a definite
plan for his life. Whether
he chooses to pursue a career in the major leagues,
own his own team or coach
baseball, it seems inevitable that his love for baseball will continue to guide
his choices for some time.

Padres baseball season opens with spring training in Arizona
First year general manager's roster moves are on display forfirsttime
B YAMYCHASTAIN
STAFF W RITER
With the first week of
March approaching, Major
League Baseball's spring
training is finally in fullswing. Teams across the
country are coming together to train, much to
the delight of the fans.
San Diego's Major League
Baseball team, the Padres,
will call Peoria Sports Complex in Arizona and its six
major league fields home
for the duration of spring
training, according to the
San Diego Padres Ballpark
Information Page. Spring
training is the first time that
media and fans will be able
to witness the newly formed
lineup as orchestrated by
general manager A J . Preller.
To the Padres and General
Manager (GM) A J. Preller,
this spring training is a big
deal. This is Preller's first
season as General Manager.
Preller was hired as general
manager on Aug. 5 of last
year, says Anthony Witrado
of Bleacher Report, and he
is already making a name for
himself as he seeks out some
of baseball's best free agents.
Witrado also says that the
offseason signings made by
Preller and staff "has led to
wildly high expectations"
for the season to come.
Under Preller, the Padres
have made bold moves to
acquire well-known and talented ball players. These big
names include James Shields,
Matt Kemp and Justin Upton.
James Shields, who was
signed off of the Kansas
City Royals roster less than
three weeks ago, will add
depth to the pitching lineup.
Shields' 2015 Preview in
his Major League Baseball
(MLB) bio says that he is
"one of the most dependable pitchers in baseball."
In order to grow as a team,
the Padres will need to rely
on Shields' dependability.
Matt Kemp, formerly of
the Los Angeles Dodgers,
will be joining James Shields
as one of many veteran additions to the Padres roster. Not
only is Kemp a household
name as a left fielder, but
according to Kemp's MLB
bio, he is a two-time All-Star
Team member and winner of
the 2011 Hank Aaron Award.
The Padres also acquired
another noteworthy left
fielder, Justin Upton. Like
Kemp, Upton is also a twotime All-Star Team member. Justin Upton's MLB
bio lists that one of his biggest accolades was in 2014
when he won the Silver
Slugger Award as a member of the Atlanta Braves.
With training camps fully
underway in Arizona, it will
be exciting to see how the
Padres' millions of dollars in
new roster additions will pay
off. This year marks the beginning of a rebuilding year
for the San Diego Padres and
the start of a possible legacy
for GM A J . Preller. Baseball
fans will be able to witness
the Padres newly improved
roster on April 9, as they host
their home opener against
the San Francisco Giants.

Immunizations: What students gear up for
PB
should know about vaccines
B Y AMANDA QUILLING
HEALTH AWARENESS COLUMNIST
With media highlighting the current outbreaks
of diseases like Ebola and
measles, it's essential that
college students educate
themselves on vaccines and
how thesefitinto theif lives.
While this topic is a sensitive one, it's important
to address the difference
in opinions and to recognize where science itself
stands on the issue, not
just focus on the information found on social media.
One of the largest concerns students have about
vaccines is their safety. Currently, the United States has
the safest supply of vaccines
in the world and all vaccines
are tested prior to FDA licensing. Most vaccines take
up to ten years before being
approved and continually
monitored, as noted by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The most controversial
conversation regarding vac-
cines is their alleged correlation with autism. The
CDC continues to support
a review done by the Institute of Medicine, which
concludes, "there is no relationship between vaccines
and autism rates in children."
While this topic is recurrent in media, the science
community continues to
stand by the fact that there is
no vaccine safety debate and
the implementation of vaccines is as prevalent as ever.
Another large concern for
college students is the availability and cost of vaccines.
For students at CSUSM,
the Health and Counseling
Services Center (HCSC)
collaborates with the San
Diego County Health and
Human Services Department
to ensure that students have
access to affordable vaccines in order to prevent the
spread of infectious diseases.
Students can call and make
an appointment at the new
HCSC for a simple flu shot
or other immunizations. Other immunizations include
the MMR (measles, mumps,
rubella) vaccine, Hepatitis
B and Meningitis vaccine,
all of which are offered for
a reduced fee to students.
Locally, students at Carlsbad High School have made
an effort to educate the public about vaccines in their
film Invisible Threat. This
documentary addresses the
significance of vaccines and
is endorsed by the CDC
and the National Institutes
of Health (NIH), and was
shown at the American Public Health Association Film
Festival. In an interview with
Lisa Posard, producer of Invisible Threat, she stressed
the importance of students
obtaining credible information about immunizations and understanding that
choices towards vaccines
affect an entire community.
In all, choosing to receive
a vaccine is an individual choice. However, seeking scholarly and peer reviewed information is vital
in assessing how vaccines
fit into an individual's lifestyle. By receiving proper
education about vaccination,
we will all be able to lead
the healthy life we desire.

While at Nationals,
CSUSM will have a total of
ten athletes in competition,
which is a slight increase
from last year. The anticipation is building for these athletes as they await for their
chance to engrave themselves
in history. Placing in the top
nine gets you identified as an
Ail-American. Sure, becoming All-American is a great
milestone for athletes, but
why notfirstplace? That will
get you known as the fastest

Nationals is where the
sweat and pain is all accounted for. All the work put in
comes down to a race or two
depending on if there is a preliminary round before finals.
For athlete Brittany Hollie,
it'll come down to a matter of
seconds due to how short her

that being crowned a national champion is decided by
milliseconds in many races.

Juliana Goodlaw-Morris seeks to improve
sustainability across CSUSM campus
B Y PIERRE YALDO
STAFF W RITER
In California, environmental activists say we have a serious problem. They say we
waste too much, we pollute
too much and it's coming
around to bite us in the butt.
Our campus has recently
opened a new position, that
of the Sustainability Manager, and has hired Juliana
Goodlaw-Morris to help our
school battle the growing
problems we face. GoodlawMorris has a big plate of
responsibilities and needs
our help to create change.
Goodlaw-Morris' previous
job was with the National
Wildlife Federation, based
in Ann Arbor, MI, where she
assisted with major sustain-
ability projects in the state.
She has also spent around
eight years working on and
off with the Peace Corps in
Jamaica, where she worked
alongside local farmers
on implementing sustainable agriculture. Alas, her
dream was to move back to
her home state, California,
where our campus managed to get a hold of her.
Goodlaw-Morris said that
CSUSM is on a good path to
becoming more sustainable.
"We are actually doing
really well, especially on
recycling, and have been
for many years," she said.
However, there is still much
more room for improvement,
where small changes can really have a big impact on how
environmentally minded we
are. For example, 12 percent
of the entire waste volume
our campus produces is in
the form of bathroom paper
towels alone. Goodlaw-Morriswould like to see us move
more towards air dryers.
There are also the collective efforts that we as a student body can work towards,
which could be huge for the
school. For example, a tiny
$1 to $5 "green fee" per semester could allow for huge
projects such as solar power
installation for many buildings, as well as fund other
sustainability projects that
students choose themselves.
Goodlaw-Morris notes
that the concept of the student green fee is something
that goes through the student body first, and is not
something she decides on.
"Anything we do can and
P ROGRAM S POTLIGHT
will make a difference, and it
is a serious matter," she said.
"Sustainability seems like
a buzzword in many cases,
but when you have Fortune
500 companies developing offices of sustainability
for million dollar companies, they take it seriously."
When asked about what
she does most of the day,
most of her time is dedicated to meeting people,
doing research pertaining to
our campus and assessing
our plans to attack waste.
Goodlaw-Morris also mentioned that she is looking
to meet more people, especially students. Over the
next year, the Sustainability
Department may have multiple positions open, including various internships, all
the way up to having a stu-

When it comes to getting

creating active change. Sim-

as bringing refillable water
bottles to school, carpooling
and turning off lights will
make a world of a difference.

Environmental Studies program
debuts on campus
BY SYDNEY SCHABACKER
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
As of Fall 2014, students
at CSUSM have the opportunity to declare a brand new
major: Environmental Studies. This program focuses
on providing a collaborative setting for students,
faculty and community
partners to study land-use
and environmental issues.
The curriculum of this
major is comprised of life
and physical sciences, social science and policy, research methods and arts
and humanities. Since this
is an interdisciplinary major, students will be introduced to a wide variety of
classes that create an overview of how we interact
with our environment and
how we can better protect it.
Student Rocio Fuentes,
who declared this major last
semester, remarks on the
importance of being mindful of our environment.
"In our lifetime we are seeing all the harmful footprints
that are being created," he
said. "We are seeing the
changes that one day we are
not going to be able to fix."

O RGANIZATION S POTLIGHT
Club helps build a sustainable CSUSM
BY SHANICE DAVIS
ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR
Last Fall, friends Alex
Caratti and Danny Geiszler
created the GSUSM Sustainability Club in order to help
CSUSM be a more sustainable campus. Their mission
is to inform students on
what it means to be sustainable and commit students
to live more sustainably.
With the Sustainability Club being fairly new to
CSUSM, not many students
are aware of their overall
objective for the campus.
However CSUSM is no
stranger to the idea of being eco-friendly. But, the
Sustainability Club aims to
take it a step further, and
not have being sustainable
something everyone only
does while on campus, but
for it to become a way of
life for fellow Cougars.
Throughout the community, the Sustainability Club strives to
educate people on the importance of being green.
"We focus our time on
the educational point of it
and we do some active stuff
like tabling events," Sus-

tainability Club President,
Alex Caratti, said. "Last semester our first event was
the Kill the Cup campaign,
which was a campaign that
raises awareness on reusable
cup usage and how it's better than disposable cups."
For the months of March
and April, the club has events
lined up leading to the greenest day of the year, Earth
Day. On March 14, there's
Super STEM Saturday, Discover CSUSM on April
11, Kick Butt on April 17
and Earth Day on April 22.
As the Sustainability Club
is a newfound member to
the array of organizations offered on campus, both President Caratti and Vice President Geiszler say they are
aware of the struggles that
come with new organizations getting their name out.
"Kill the Cup was a big accomplishment, it was really
nice seeing the recognition,
a lot of people recognized us

dozen of my friends stop using disposable cups and start
using reusable cups, so that's
an accomplishment and it
actually encouraged me to
start using reusable items."
Geiszler and Caratti also
spoke about what motivated them to start the club.
"Sustainability has been
something I've always been
passionate about, I've just
never really had an opportunity to share that passion
with anyone else, so Alex
really gave me that avenue to share that," he said.
"For me personally, one
of my passions in life is sustainability and wanting to
do work in a career that involves sustainability," Caratti said. "Part of my passion
manifests in teaching and
educating people how to be
more sustainable, so I saw
the club as a great opportunity to do that with the support from the campus and
SOL. It could help educate
our generation about how
to be more sustainable."

Simple ways to save precious water
Easy tips for helping the environment
BY NOELLE FRIEDBERG
OPINION EDITOR
Water scarcity is an issue
that affects every continent,
so it's important to conserve this non-renewable
resource in every way possible. Even the simplest
changes in our water use can
lead to a world of difference.
Conserving water doesn't
have to involve any huge
lifestyle changes - even the
smallest things add up. Here
are some simple ways you
can start saving water today:
In the shower: When the
topic of saving water comes
up, it's common to hear people say, "take shorter showers." But there are ways to
save water while you shower
that don't necessarily mean
you have to spend less time
showering. An alternative is
to simply turn off the water
when you don't need it, using the nozzle found on most
shower heads. You can turn
off the water while you're
shampooing, shaving, lathering, using your loofah, etc.
This is a great way to save
water because you don't really need water for your
full shower time anyway.
Brushing your teeth:
Don't leave the faucet running while you're brushing
your teeth. We've all heard
this one million times, but
it's a good thing to be reminded of. It really does
save a lot of water because
it all adds up in the end.
While doing laundry: Wash
dark clothes in cold water.
This saves water and energy, and helps your clothes
retain their color. Also, do a
full load of laundry wherever
possible. Multiple sftialler
loads use more water than
one large load. When you
do have to do a smaller load,
make sure you match the water level to the size of the load.

While doing dishes: Don't
leave the water running while
you're doing dishes. Instead, water and clean your dishes to soak and keeps you from
fill up the sink with soapy that way. This allows them leaving the water on too long.
Addressing America's obsession with protein
How meat affects sustainability on Earth
BY RESTY GREY
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Bacon grease sizzles on
the skillet every morning,
engulfing your apartment
with the pleasant aroma of
burning flesh. Two links
of sausage sit beside your
tall glass of prepackaged
produced protein powder.
American society is obsessed with protein, but
what are these meat and food
products really costing us?
The American population
is rapidly increasing. The
consumption of food lies
parallel to this statistic. Diminishing natural resources
points to the instability of
American meat-based diets.
Predominantly meat-based
diets consume more natural resources to produce the
equivalent amount of protein
when compared to a common lacto-ovo vegetarian
diet. A lacto-ovo vegetarian does not eat animal
flesh of any kind but does
consume dairy and eggs.
The recommended dietary
allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.36 grams of protein
per pound. This information is all arbitrary to the
individual an$. depends on
many different factors, but
this roughly amounts to 56
grams of protein to maintain
the body weight of a person weighing 155 pounds.
A person is required to
consume 29 slices of bacon in order to amount the

Many students fulfill their protein needs through different sources.
density of one cup of oatmeal. 29 slices "of bacon
roughly yields 87 grams of
protein, which is 158 percent of the RDA before
you've even reached lunch.
Not only is overconsuming protein "bad" for the
body, but according to Da-
vid Pimentel and Marcia
Pimental's article, "Sustainability of Meat-Based and
Plant-Based diets and the
environment," the amount of
resources needed to produce
livestock to feed Americans
equates to roughly seven
times the amount of grain
that would be required to directly feed American society.
Meat-based diets concentrate on the consumption of
protein in favor of micronutrients necessary to help
the body function properly.
However, most American
meat-based diets focus on the
consumption of macronutrients, failing to consider the
micronutrients necessary for
proper sustainability. Meat
just is not as nutrient dense
as vegetables, grains, nuts,
seeds, fruits and legumes.
Furthermore, David and
Marcia Pimental write that
"the food storage and malnourishment problem is
primarily related to rapid
population growth in the
world plus the declining per
Re-evaluating climate change
Does your carbon footprint matter?
BY COLLIN V AZ
FEATURES EDITOR
The negative effects of humans on the environment are
undeniable. From deforestation, to air and ocean pollution, we are failing at maintaining a sustainable lifestyle.
To some degree, most people are concerned about their
personal effect on the world.
With all of the possible
lifestyle changes and ecofriendly choices possible,
it can be hard to determine
which are most worthwhile.
"Carbon footprint" is a
term that refers to the overall carbon dioxide emissions
of a person, organization
or nation. Many politicians
and mainstream media outlets stress the importance
of carbon footprints and
urge consumers to use energy responsibly, claiming
that humans' carbon dioxide emissions are causing
Earth's climate to fluctuate.
There are several miscon-
ceptions surrounding this
theory that deserve attention.
During President Obama's
State of the Union Address,
he stated that, "[T]he debate
is settled. Climate change
is a fact." He is not simply
referring to the process of
climate change in general
being a fact, but instead the
idea that humans are altering it. The argument that
there is no debate among
scientists is simply not true.
Sustainability Manager at
CSUSM, Juliana GoodlawMorris said, "98 percent or
99 percent of all scientists/
climate scientists agree that
climate change is happening
and that it is human induced."
The idea that the vast majority of scientists agree
on the issue is common
among advocates of human
induced climate change.
In reality, this concept is
hotly debated among the scientific community. A recent
survey by Purdue University Professor of Natural Resource Social Science, Linda
Prokopy, found that 90 percent of scientists, including
climatologists, agreed climate change was occurring,
but only 50 percent agreed
that it was caused by humans.
Another topic of confusion is the idea that 2014
was the hottest year in
the history of the planet.
"Yes, the Earth goes
through natural cycles, but
there has never been a period
of time in the Earth's history that we have had multiple years of the warmest
- every year getting warmer
and warmer arid warmer,"
Goodlaw-Morris said. "It's
been like five, six [or] seven
years in a row we've had
the hottest years on record."
Unfortunately the evidence in support of this
claim is unconvincing.
The idea that a recent pattern of perpetual heating is
unique to the modern era is
incorrect as periods in history such as the Medieval
Warming Period showed a
consistent rise in global tem-
perature over several years.
NASA's Goddard Institute
for Space Studies, the organization that stated 2014 was
the hottest year since 1880,
has recently expressed some
doubt over their previous
statement, expressing that
they are only 38 percent sure
the finding is accurate. Even
NASA's own records shows
Earth has only warmed 0.36
degrees Fahrenheit over the
past 35 years. The Earth's
overall temperature has actually, on average, lowered
by 1.08 degrees since 1998.
Many organizations which
support the theory of manmade climate change have
been caught manipulating
data charts to reflect their
stance. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has a history of
replacing real temperature
values with those fabricated
by computers in order to "adjust" records. Whistleblower
Professor Robert Stavins
went on record to Breitbart
News stating that politi-
cians forced him to change
parts of the 2014 United
Nations Climate Report.
Those who do not adhere
to the idea of anthropogenic
climate change look to naturally occurring phenomenon
for an explanation. The
Milankovitch Cycles are
proven to cause changes in
Earth's climate. The Earth
does not revolve around the
sun in a perfect circle. It
has a fluctuating eccentricity or rotation. Additionally, the Earth wobbles and
tilts on its axis. These three
elements in addition to the
sun's solar cycle determine
shifts in global climate.
In order to understand the
big picture regarding humanity's carbon dioxide output, it
is important to know how our
levels compare to nature's. If
all of the carbon emissions
from the entire planet were
represented by the length of
a 100 yard footballfield,humanity's contribution would
add up to 4.21 inches or 0.117
percent of the field. Con-
capita available of land, water and energy resources."
Considering that the livestock. population required
to feed Americans is five
times the amount of the human population, the sustainability of the lacto-ovo
vegetarian diet seems much
more plausible in the larger scope of life on earth.
David and Marcia Pimental
write that "for every 1kg of
high-quality animal protein
produced, livestock are fed
about 6kg of plant protein."
Switching to a plant-based
diet would result in fewer
natural resources being
consumed to feed the same
amount of people on Earth,
which is why it is a more
sustainable way of eating.
sidering that there are 3,600
inches in a footballfield,this
is an insignificant amount.
Whether or not you subscribe to the theory that climate change can be attributed to humans, everyone
can agree there is more we
can do to limit our negative
impact on the environment.
Juliana Goodlaw-Morris reminds students of this and
the school's contribution.
"Whether or not you believe in climate change,
think it's human induced or
what have you, these are the
impacts we are having right
now. Water scarcity is like oil
now. . . Here on this campus
we are doing a phenomenal
job with water conservation
measures and we're trying to
make it even better," she said.
Lifestyle decisions like
using refillable water bottles and taking alternative
methods of transportation
might not save the Earth
from changing temperatures, but it still contributes to a cleaner Earth.

Re-writing history is not
exceptionalism, it's a cop-out
B Y KINAYA BRYANT
CONTRIBUTOR
Lawmakers in Oklahoma have overwhelmingly
voted to pass law HB-1380
which bars funds from being used on AP US History.
According to state representative Dan Fisher, it's
because history isn't quite
"pro-America" enough for
him. During their legislative committee meeting,
Fisher stated, "[The new
framework] trades an emphasis on America's founding principles of Constitutional government in favor
of robust analyses of gender and racial oppression
and class ethnicity and the
lives of marginalized people, where the emphasis on
instruction is of America as
a nation of oppressors and
exploiters." In other words,
hearing the truth is just too
much for him to handle.
I'm sorry Dan Fisher, but
you don't get to ban facts.
For far too long we have
learned history from the
perspective of the winners
and that isn't real history.
Fisher's motives become
all too clear when you read
his proposal for the type of
"American exceptionalism"
history he wants students
to learn. The new proposed
framework for U.S. History
focuses on the U.S. Constitution, The Gettysburg Ad-
dress and Thomas Paine's
"Common Sense." Fair
enough, these are all important works that shaped this
country. However, Fisher has
no time for pesky so-called
"blemishes" such as Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter From Birmingham Jail"
and his "I Have a Dream"
speech. He also wants to
strike out Malcolm X's epic
"Ballot or the Bullet" speech
and instead replace these
amazing works with three
speeches by Ronald Reagan
and one by George W. Bush.
Erasing the voices of marginalized people of color in
order to emphasize the voices of powerful white Christian men, does that sound
familiar to anyone else? Before we go any further we
must also acknowledge that
Fisher is a member of the
Black Robe Regiment which
seriously tries to make the argument that the separation of
church and state is a progressive conspiracy to stamp out
religious faith in the United
States. I wish this was an
Onion article, but it isn't.
Rewriting history is not
American e^c^ptionalism,
it's actually the exact opposite. This is the kind of
blind patriotism that holds
this country back. By revising U.S. History to fit a biased "pro-American" (let's
be real, pro-white) narrative, these lawmakers are
forcing our children to be
remedial. If they go to college, they're automatically
put at a disadvantage in
class because they wasted
so much time learning history that's actually incorrect.
Please don't think this is
just something that happens
in Oklahoma. The same thing
happened to me right here in
California. One of my first
college courses was a U.S.
History class where I learned
the pure, unregulated facts
about this country. It angered
me that I spent so many years
in high school learning watered down history and blatantly false history. Not all
of my peers went to college
after high school so as far as
I know they're still walking
around with false information about America's history.
And you wonder why there
are so many people in this
country who actually think
slavery ended 300 years ago.
All of this anti-educational
insanity must be stopped.
Georgia legislature introduced a resolution that rejects American history that
doesn't emphasize "America's. Founding Fathers , the
principles of the Declaration
of Independence [and] the
religious influences on our
nation's history." In Arizona,
they banned ethnic studies
altogether. Does anyone else
think banning education is
the most un-American thing
ever? Our children deserve
better than this. Take it from
me, nothing kills your faith in
the American education system faster than learning that
it doesn't actually educate
you. If all we learn in school
is half-truths, indoctrination and blind patriotism,
there is no way we are going
to compete in a globalized
economy that encourages
actual exceptionalism. Germany teaches the whole truth
about their tragic history and
recently they even abolished
tuition fees to open up access to education for everyone. We need to take a lesson
from Germany and be honest
about our history or else we
will be doomed to repeat it.
AP U.S. History is actual
American exceptionalism.
I can say that with conviction because I took an AP
U.S. History course in high
school and that class is one
of the main reasons I chose
to pursue college. Every peer
in that class went on to pursue college. I enjoyed the
fact that we could not only
learn history but discuss and
deconstruct history at the
same time. AP U.S. History
taught me how to think critically and thinking critically
is a very exceptional trait
to have. I am a proud history buff and even though I
know all about our dark past,
I still love this country and
I'm proud to be American.
So there you go Dan Fisher,
your crackpot theory has
been officially debunked.

Dangers of disposable tampons and pads
Bad for your body, your wallet and environment
BY KAYLA RICHARDSON
CONTRIBUTOR
Disposable tampons and
pads are, by far, the most
commonly used menstrual
products amongst menstruating girls and women. The use
of these products has become
so normalized that most
women do not question them
or search for other options.
Tampons and pads are the
only menstrual products that
you will find advertised on
television, sold in grocery
stores and hidden away in the
bathroom cabinets of friends,
mothers and sisters. Commercials for these products
depict healthy women using
them to overcome their menstruating bodies and do all
Diversity continued from page 1
gressions in the classrooms,
as well as how to deal with
difficult topics and critiques
of discipline in terms of diversity» A faculty concern
on this issue includes apparent lack of respect and inclusion for lecturers. One replated faculty concern was
that while CSUSM has one
of the highest ratios of female faculty members in the
CSU system, many of them
report being overworked.
Given the wide range of
these findings, the question
is whether CSUSM is in fact
"making diversity happen."
Halaulani's response? Yes,
in part. Of the study's four
diversity ranking orders,
with 1 being only a mission statement and no effort,
and 4 being culture changing, CSUSM is a second
order campus. This means
CSUSM has good intentions, but does not at present
qualify as having sustainable diversity efforts. In
part this reflects many ideas
thrown at the issue which
are not organized or s tategized. According to the
study, 97 percent of our diversity efforts are programs
driven by departments rather
than by die university itself,
to such an extent that such
efforts are being paid for
out of departmental budg-
the activities they love to do.
Unfortunately, these commercials do not mention the
toxins and chemicals thenproducts contain or the toll
they take on the planet. Tampons contain pesticides, dioxins, GMOs and fragrances, and it is estimated that a
single menstruating woman
will produce 1,000 pounds
of waste in tampons in her
lifetime (ruby-cup.com). Despite the facts, these products
remain popular because since
they are disposable, you have
to keep buying them. This
means more money for the
companies that sell them. It
isn't right that we are buying
products that are not good
for our bodies or the planet.
Fortunately, there are other
options. First, a great alterna-
tive is the menstrual cup. The
menstrual cup is reusable, so
you only have to purchase
one, which saves money and
you don't have to throw it
away, which reduces waste.
It also does not contain any
harmful toxins or chemicals.
Some great brands to check
ets. This approach lacks any
cohesion, so it is not sustainable. The goal approach
needs to be an overall university resource allotment.
One strong point about
CSUSM is that we are intrinsically motivated, rather than
relying on external factors
such as potential lawsuits
to motivate our diversity efforts. Of our diversity efforts, 88 percent of them are
primarily geared towards diversity rather than having diversity as a subtopic. However, we have more events
promoting diversity than we
have programs actually striving towards strategic diversity inclusions. Added to that,
we seem to have a vague
notion of diversity, with our
efforts such as they are focused on all campus members, bvt witb little to nothing in fact being addressed
on the behalf of our faculty
and staff members. More
inclusion of these members
of our campus in our efforts
would seem to provide a better overall campus result.
In terms of Diversity in
CSUSM courses, the focus
of diversity is on the Undergraduates, specifically
at the 300-400 course level.
*I was surprised by the
relatively low number of offered courses at the 100-200
level, and that we offer fewer
domestic diversity courses
than we actually do," said
Arturo Ocampo, Associate
Vice President of the Office
of Diversity, Educational Equity & Inclusion University
Ombuds. "I was under the
impression we had more domestic diversity courses, but
we actually have more international/global courses."
One recommendation Halaulani makes is to increase
the number of domestic/
historical courses offered,
as well as implement a GE
Diversity Requirement. As
it currently stands, there is
insufficient diversity exposure in the lower level
Undergraduate
courses.
The diversity study findings are only the beginning.
Thefallreport will come out
in a couple of weeks, and
that's when President Hayes
will begin to charge different units and departments
with the next steps to take.
"It's going to take a lot of
work and a lot of folks analyzing the curriculum and
co-curriculum to get to the
third order," Ocampo said.
"But CSUSM has tremendous potential and a lot of
well-intentioned, highly motivated and committed people. With the study providing specific areas to address,
CSUSM can began to progress effectively toward real
diversity inclusion for every
person on the campus."

Next, if you are a pad user,
you can make the easy switch
to reusable cloth pads. Cloth
pads are used in the same
way as disposable pads,
but they are better for you

brands that sell cloth pads
are GladRags and Lunapads.
Better yet, you can turn fabric
you might have lying around
into your own unique cloth
pads at no cost to your body,
the Earth or your wallet.
Another great alternative is
the sea sponge, which might
be best for someone who is
accustomed to using an absorbent product like the tampon. Sea sponges are more
absorbent than tampons, but
contain none of the toxins
or chemicals, are low cost
and do not contribute any
waste. You can purchase
sea sponges for menstruation from an incredible company called Jade & Pearl.
We should not have to
spend excessive amounts of
money on products that do
not serve us. Also, we each
have an individual responsibility to take care of the
planet in any way we can.
Ditching the disposable tampons and pads and opting for
healthier, sustainable menstrual products is one way
we can be active in doing so.

When juggling family,
friends, classwork, jobs and
other everyday activities, it
is very easy to get lazy and
leave old, used items lying
around the house. Instead
of gathering everything
up and throwing it in the
trash, turn everyday items
into useful tools, decorations or even a fun gift.
Here are multiple
ways to get you started:
Reuse ketchup bottles for
ready-to-use pancake mix.
Clean out an empty ketchup bottle and fill it up with
pancake batter for easy storage. Squeeze out the batter onto a heated skillet for
a faster, no-mess breakfast.
Turn old credit cards into
guitar picks. Using scissors
or an XACTO-knife, cut a
pick shape out of the plas-
careful and be
sure to do this on a flat surface so you don't get hurt.
Turn an empty tissue box
into a bag dispenser. Instead
of stuffing old grocery bags
into a drawer that'll take
up space, store them in an
old tissue box. Take one
plastic bag and place the
rest inside, then store them
upside down inside the tissue box for easy access.
Use an old cupcake tin
as a jewelry organizer. Put
earrings, necklaces, rings
and bracelets in each row
or column. You could also
decorate the tin with scrapbook paper to make it appear more presentable. Or,
as a gift to a friend, decorate the tin with patterned
paper and fill it with small
knick-knacks and candy.

with the sound of slamming
cabinet doors, simply cut a
small circle out of felt fabric and glue onto the corner
of the inside of the door.
Use old suitcases as storage spaces. Store kitchen
placemats or linen in an
old suitcase. Vintage suitcases can make fun, rustic
decorations or table settings.
Turn old calendar pages
into wrapping paper. Personalize a birthday present
by using an old calendar
page of your friend's birthday month, and circle their
birthday on the wrapping.
Turn a wooden ladder into
a towel rack. Prop a wooden ladder (ladders made of
wood can withstand humidity as opposed to metal ones)
on the bathroom wall to
store towels and other items.
With little to no work, you
can turn trash into treasure.
Have fun upcycling your old

The most important
thing I can stress to anyone
thinking of losing or gaining weight is to be healthy.
Last year, I was introduced
to #thinspiration via the YouTube channel of Lacy Green.
The pictures and statements
attached to it border along
the lines of religious fervor
with sayings such as "the
skinnier, the better" and
"must stay skinny for summer," repeated ad nauseam,
coupled with so-called workout regimens that ignore nutrition in favor of burning
off calories to the point of
serious physical damage.
In the prime of teenage
years and the younger twenties, it's easy to get caught
up in the wondrous (and occasionally inhuman) amount
of food, sugar and alcohol
one can consume without
consideration for what creating a habit of such consumption will bring. Eat too much
and obesity and organ issues
are just around the corner in
one's thirties and forties. Yet,
eat too little and the organ
failure coupled with stress
comes in to wreak havoc
on the immune system.
Thus, the perfect middle ground is healthiness.
What is the healthy body
type one might ask? Honestly, it's most of them. A
thinner person can be just
as healthy as their bulkier
counterpart so long as their
insides are functioning properly. The concern with outside appearances is a purely
vain and pressured pursuit

ASSISTANT ENTERTAINMENT E DITOR
While the backlash and
controversy 50 Shades of
Grey received for its touchy
subject (no pun intended) is
not shocking, it's interesting how much of it is still
surrounding the recent film
adaptation for a story that
was released three years
ago. Call it the bookworm
fangirl in me, but I felt
as if the movie portrayed
the first book perfectly
and captured the essence
to what the story truly is.
Anastasia Steele (Dakota
Johnson) is preparing to graduate college when she lends
her aspiring journalist friend
a favor by interviewing successful businessman of Seattle's Grey Enterprises, Christian Grey (Jamie Dorman),
for their school newspaper.
Upon first meeting there is
an immediate attraction between them. Steel is merely
a shy, bookworm who feels
invisible to the male species,
hence shefindsit surprising
when Grey expresses interest in her. It is only in time
that she discovers that he
isn't going to be the "hearts
and flowers" boyfriend she
dreamed of having, but one
whom centers his "relationships" on BDSM. She is now
left to contemplate whether
she should comply with his
offer to engage in a "Submissive/Dominant" relationship,
all the while struggling with
her feelings and curiosity for
the broken man he works
hard to hide from the world.
While there are the supporters and protesters for
what the story conveys, I feel
that many overlook the true
love story between the main
characters. The hype and
focus is solely centralized
on Grey's preferred mechanisms with his lifestyle. It
is also argued that Steele
negatively portrays a woman
as one whom should be submissive and powerless to a
male figure. While the idea
of BDSM plays a prominent
role in the film and overall
story, I felt as if Steele was
anything but powerless.
While Steele is naive and
inexperienced, her realness
to whom she is as an individual affects Grey in a way that
he has never experienced before. Steele not only learns
about a lifestyle she has
never known about, but Grey
is learning what "genuine
love" is. What I liked about
thefilmwas its ability to take
a difficult subject matter and
give insight into the struggles
of living the kind of lifestyle
Grey abides by. It can be
easy to hate Grey for his chosen lifestyle, but it can also
be easy to sympathize for his
past struggles and hope he
stops living his life in fear.
Grey portrays the ultimate
"dominant" as being handsome, successful, envied by
every male and yearned for
by every female. While he
has the ultimate "power,"
thefilmexplores the brokenness he hides, for his past
struggles have created the
"dark" man he has become.

On general principle, I
normally don't tell people what they should do
with their lives. That would
be presumptuous of me.
No one really likes being
told what to do or what to like,
anyway. But I will say this: in
the two hours I spent watching Fifty Shades of Grey, I
could have been repeatedly
beating my head against a
wall while listening to Nickelback and it still would have
been time better spent than
watching this awful movie.
This movie sparked a fair
amount of controversy, and
from what I saw, I understand
why. The major subject of
the movie is Christian Grey,
who for the remainder of this
review I will call "Abusive
Batman." Anastasia Steele,
a young college student and
the lens through which we
watch this cinematic masterpiece, finds Abusive Batman to be an alluring and
mysterious figure after she
interviews him for an article. From there, she signs a
scary sex contract, Abusive
Batman leads her to his sex
dungeon, and they have sex
in various positions. Abusive
Batman rejects Anastasia's
affection, as he was apparently emotionally stunted as
a child when his parents were
G
murdered in front of him
in an alley of Gotham city.
In Fifty Shades, a sequence
of events was strung together with a glue stick and
someone in the editing room
called it a "plot." I could talk
for hours on the fact that this
m o v l' e
p ortrays
a relationship
based on
d omestic
v iolence,
or that it
horribly misrepresents the
BDSM community. But that
isn't why I didn't like it. No;
it is because this movie managed to somehow be both
terrible and boring. Even
cougarchron.arts@gmail.com
With Steele entering his life,
he struggles with remaining
the man he has always been
or allowing himself to be the
man he always said he would
never be. I found Steele's
ability to abide by herself
as an individual something
powerful in itself. It is ironic,
because while they engage
in acts preferred by Grey,
it is Steele whom holds
the ultimate power. She refuses to instantly become a
"servant" to Grey and emphasizes that everything
still remains her choice.
I don't foresee the backlash for thefilmdisappearing
anytime soon, but I do think
that the story shouldn't be
overlooked simply because
it is exploring a topic that
many have known about but
have never chosen to address
publicly in the media. While
it may be controversial, it
still doesn't change the fact
that it has broken records,
making $81.7 million in its
opening weekend. Clearly it
remains to spark curiosity.

50 Shades of Grey: An Unacknowledged Side to "Love"
bad movies can at least be
fun to watch. I have an archive filled with horror
movies for that very reason.
The dialogue is one of the
more absurd aspects of the
movie, and the depth of the
characters is so shallow that
they could
have replaced
A nastasia with a
lamp and
next to
n othing
would have changed. Several
details are extremely vague,
such as what it is exactly
Abusive Batman's company does (which I personally hope is selling doilies).
The dialogue is
one of the more
absurd aspects of
the movie...
It also glosses over the fact
that Abusive Batman was
sexually assaulted as a teenager by his mother's friend,
but the audience is somehow
expected to feel like this was
a positive experience rather
than completely horrified.
Alas, a movie adaptation
can only be as good as its
book. A book, I'd like to point
out, which was originally
posted as Twilight fanfiction
on fanfiction.net. The title
was originally "Master of the
Universe", and the author's
pen name on the website
was Snowqueens Icedragon.
So here we have a movie,
based on a book, which was
based on a fanfiction, which
was based on another movie,
fAÜ i a litili IflI aiMi *
which in turn was based on
a series of books. Fanfiction
should remain in the dark
corners of the internet where
it belongs, but for reasons
beyond my understanding,
it was adapted into a major
motion picture. Go figure.
It strikes me that there are
people out there who enjoyed this film, and I'll admit that there were aspects
to it that weren't grueling.
The soundtrack was alright,
for one thing. I'm having some difficulty thinking of the second thing.
All in all, I give it a half
star out of five.
Sustainable Gaming: Call of Duty Zombies
BY W ILL M CCURDY
ASSISTANT TO THE E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
Modern culture has taken
an odd spin on the idea of
horror, particularly monsters. It seems to be a mad
whiplash that goes between
reimagining them as brooding anti-heroes, turning them
into sexual icons or in the
very rare case these days of
actually being afraid of them.
It is the last category that
is the subject of this video
game review regarding the
Call of Duty series and its
near consistent homages
to George Romero through
their zombies game mode.
Call of Duty recently
might be considered great
advocates for environmental conservation. They have
guns, new abilities for using
those guns and a plot that
amounts to "insert potential
United States conflict here."
But by far, the part that fell
most into the compost heap
is the zombies mode which
is quite a shame as the story
began as quite intriguing, if
not slightly innovative. After
fighting a brutal war across
Germany and the Pacific in
Call of Duty: World at War,
the game showed a plane
crash viewed by a man, recovering from a head trauma
induced slumber, when he
sees wandering shadows
shambling like wraiths in
the foggy evening. Suddenly, you see one moving
with an inhuman sprint coming closer until the screen
cuts to black and the title
written in blood emerges.
It was the last time the zombies mode surprised anyone.
Since then, they've included new abilities, perks and
giant steam powered robots
but the formula remains the
same: fight zombies until
you die or start questioning
where all those fairly well
preserved bodies are coming
from and why they seem to
have a serious case of hating
kids who are on their lawn.
It's survival mode, that
much is understood, but they
made an error from the beginning by giving it a story.
Survival mode is not supposed to have a story. It's
merely an exercise in pre-
tending to be a war criminal
against a race of pixels. Once
it is given a plot, however,
it becomes subjected to the
criteria that are used to scrutinize the rest of the game. If
it is implied that there will be
a conclusion to the plot, then
there had better be one. Otherwise all those hours were
for nothing and the player is
worse off for being played as
the dunce in the bullfighting
ring that is gaming. Unless
Activision and Sledgehammer games are recycling
their developers, then the
mode amounts to what
the franchise has become;
namely a repeating piece of
propaganda about American
military exceptionalism that
can barely try to recapture
the magic of its glory days.
So, fellow gamers, feel
good about your game
choices and slap an "environmental friendly" logo
on the next copy. If the developers are going to feel
alright about recycling
plot and gameplay, players
should feel good about perpetuating their attempts at
video game conservationism.

Kingsman's ending discredits female leaders in film
B Y KATLIN SWEENEY
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
"Kingsman: The Secret
Service" reimagines the
"English spy" archetype,
giving audiences a younger, cheekier protagonist
who may save the world
in a contemporary fashion, but is still rooted in
a dated, sexist ideology.
The film is only decently
successful in providing audiences with a diverse representation of women. While
there is an obvious lack in
the quantity of female roles,
the quality of these characters are split right down
the middle. Out of the main
cast, there are 15 male roles
and only four women (three
of whom are blonde Caucasian women). These four
females are evenly split as
far as the amount of agency
they are given in the film.
We have Eggsy's mother,
a woman living in a lower income neighborhood
with a small baby, rebellious teenager and abusive
husband. She is often portrayed as submissive, placing her relationship with
her husband above her children's (and her own) safety.
We have Princess Tilde, a
Swedish princess who refuses to join Valentine when he
offers her a spot in the elite
group that will be taken to
safety when the planet erupts
in chaos. This "safety offer" is a courtesy extended
to the world's ruling powers (, which is a triumphant
commentary on how the
lives of the "elite and powerful" are prioritized. Upon
her refusal, Princess Tilde
is imprisoned by Valentine.
Then there is Roxy (Sophie Cookson), who is one
of the candidates that is
competing for the sole open
spot in Kingsman, a position
referred to as "Lancelot."
Eggsy develops a friendship
with her, who in addition to
being the sole female contender for the position, is at
the top of their "class." Ultimately Roxy defeats all of
her male competitors and
becomes the new Lancelot.
Then we have Gazelle
(Sofia Boutella), the ringleader of Valentine's team
of assailants. She executes
the master plan and makes
sure that Valentine stays on
target. She also defies the
stereotype that all or most
individuals in spy films
be "able bodied." Gazelle
has bladed prosthetic legs,
which instead of holding her
back, give her incomparable
speed and allows her to easily slice opponents in half.
Where the film's progressive plot plummets is at the
very end of thefilm.Eggsy's
teammate Merlin successfully rewires the SIM card
system in the building they
are hiding in, which then
kills all of the elite individuals and security guards that
have congregated to watch
the planet erupt in chaos.
Eggsy is set to kill Gazelle
and Valentine before finally
escaping on Merlin's plane.
However, he hears pounding
on a cell door, opening the
"peep hole" to discover Princess Tilde. Rather than trying tofinda way to help her
escape, he immediately expresses his attraction to her.
Tilde promises Eggsy anal
sex if he defeats Valentine
and comes back to rescue her.
Suddenly thefilmbecomes
about the young male protagonist reestablishing himself as the victor, who must
MOVIE REVIEW
that female empowerment is
derived from a female prisoner offering anal sex to a
man (a 17-year-old, nonetheless) who has the power to
leave her in that cell if she
does not abide by his wishes,
then he is hopelessly confused. It would be ignorant
to say that Tilde has the same
agency in the film as Eggsy.
Because he immediately
tells her that he wants to kiss
her, Tilde must make the
choice to use his immature,
uncontrollable sex drive as
a way to ensure that Eggsy
maintains an interest in her.
Yes, it is perfectly possible
that she enjoys the sexual encounter. However, it cannot
be ignored that if she were
to have denied his desires,
there is a strong chance that
she would have been left behind (in a cell on a secluded mountain that you can
only get to by plane, where
no one will ever find her).
Vaughn also needs to take
into consideration that if he
is going to talk about female
empowerment, his film was
doing a great job up until
this point. While Eggsy's
mom is a stereotyped character, the film does not try
to make her marriage look
happy or healthy. Roxy's
status as the top of her class
and the new Lancelot demonstrates that men can be
supportive of strong, independent heroines. The fact
that Valentine hides behind
Gazelle showcases that she
is the true opponent to beat.
I applaud Vaughn's attempt
to be progressive and change
the way that women are represented in "spyfilms."If he
genuinely believes that his
anal sex joke is a tool for
empowerment, this seems to
indicate that he is completely ignorant of what female
empowerment actually is.
However, trying to approach
this relatively complex notion through the framework
of a masculine film genre
like action is a difficult task.
By ending his film with this
joke, it discredits all of the
work that he did as a director and co-writer to make a
movie where women are on
an equal platform to men.
By infusing the dialogue
with this poor attempt at a
"James Bond"-style joke,
he has sacrificed his ability to refer to Kingsman as
empowering for women.

be more dominant than a
woman in order to truly be
"the hero." Eggsy asks Merlin to figure out the password for the locked cell,
which he ultimately unlocks
and then enters while carrying champagne. Because
Eggsy's glasses have a
"video feature" that allows
Merlin to aid him in combat strategy by showing him
what he sees, the audience
watches as Princess Tilde
lays down on the bed naked
and shows her butt to Eggsy.
Instead of Merlin making
a comment discouraging
Eggsy from using his ability to "rescue or leave" Tilde
in the cell as an abuse of
power, he merely closes his
screen and leaves him to it.
While this may not seem
like a problematic way to
end the film, it is a deeply
offensive "joke" that should
not have been placed in the
script at all. In a recent interview with Entertainment
Weekly, Matthew Vaughn
criticized viewers that were
upset by the joke, saying
instead how empowering it
was for women and that people needed to "lighten up."
If Vaughn genuinely thinks
When a spot in the Kingsman agency becomes vacant,
agent Harry Hart aka Galahad (Colin Firth) recruits his
deceased friend's son "Eggsy" (Taron Egerton) to become an applicant for the job.
Meanwhile, off-kilter billionaire Richmond Valentine
.(Samuel L. Jackson) attracts
the attention of Hart when it
looks like he's up to no good.
I'm a huge fan of Matthew Vaughn. So far, he directed Layer Cake, Stardust,
Kick-Ass and X-Men: First
Class. They were all great
movies that deserve all the
praise they got. To be honest,
I was not looking forward
to Kingsman very much. I
thought the first trailer was
pretty bad, and even though
the subsequent marketing
improved, I was not completely sold. Fortunately,
Kingsman was far from a
badfilm.In fact, it might be
the best of the year so far.
When Colin Firth's name
is on the cast list, it tends to
evoke images of romantic
male leads or British royalty, not that of a spy. But
I always maintained that if
any part of Kingsman were
going to work, it would be
him. Sure enough, Colin
Firth was awesome. He was
completely believable as an
intelligent, efficient spy. Not
only that, he was a ruthless
killing machine! It was pretty much a combination of
all the incarnations of James
Bond rolled into one character, and it worked perfectly.
Firth was not the only one
that impresses. Pretty much
all the actors were great in
their respective roles. But
the biggest surprise was
Taron Egerton, playing our
young protagonist "Eggsy"
Unwin. I was worried about
Egerton going into the film.
In all the trailers, he looked
like he would be the weak
link. I could not have been
more wrong. Egerton made
a punk-like Eggsy a very en-

dearing character, and seeing
him live up to his potential
was a really fun experience.
The action was so awesome. I knew Matthew
Vaughn could do action.
Kick-Ass was proof enough.
But what he was able to put
together here is on a whole
new level. It's not quite on
par with something like
John Wick, but it was really exciting nonetheless.
On top of being a great action movie, Kingsman is
also a great comedy. Whenever it tries to be funny, it
passes with flying colors.
Not everything about King-
sman was great. I thought the
CGI was pretty poor. I get
that it was supposed to be ridiculous, but that's no excuse
for looking bad. There were
some parts where the action
was a little disorienting, but
it usually sorted itself out in
the end. As a sidetone, if you
didn't like Kick-Ass* you
might not like Kingsman.
I was afraid that Kingsman
might be Matthew Vaughn's
first miss, but I really misjudged it. In fact, it might be
my most pleasant surprise in
a long time. With a stellar
cast, action and humor, what
more could you ask for?

How Laddaterials in rheir art
Brothers teuse ecofriendly
win-win
m
solution
BY ALEX MARAVILLAS
ASSISTANT ARTS EDITOR
Using subjectivity and
objectivity was a concept
that the Ladd Brothers,
Steven and William Ladd,
had in mind when they collaborated. For example,
the brothers used different
methods of presenting art
by recycling materials in
the medium in their artform.
Art as function, as an exhibit, and additionally for
fashion was the way the
two brothers presented their
work. The brothers were additionally mastered at the
Couture Trade in New York
and that was an immensely
colossal inspiration to their
art. The collections that the
two brothers shared, in their
past experiences, helped
influenced their artwork.
Three art pieces that exhibited at the Mingei International Museum in 2014
by the Ladd Brothers were
"Kickboard" (2012), "Shadow Tower" (2002) and the
"Shaboygen Tower" (2012).
"Kickboard" was a piece
that was made of recycling
belts, wood and metal. The
panels on the piece were
predicated on a kickboard
that Steven's father built on
the fields of the brother's elementary school. According
to William, kids practiced
kicking balls against it during soccer practice, and the
fields were the pride of the
brother's school. The piece
had a unity and a variety
within the piece. The dark
blues, and shades of purple
of the belts tied together,
plus pins, which provided a
transient and fleeting quality to the piece, held it down.
"Shadow Tower" was
created using various mediums included an archival board, fiber, beads and
metal. "Shadow Tower's"
main concept presented is
about containment. The ebony boxes cumulate the interior objects into a cohesive,
comprehensive whole. The
tower is a presence in the
space, a shadow of our processes. The closed butterfly
box is a cocoon for the interior object. The silhouette
appears solid, but the zipped
top invites you to activate the
object. The aperture of the
butterfly box is rooted in a
gesture of the circling of the
arms, an aperture to the heart.
The aperture reveals the
object's environment. The
pleated structures are predicated on the gestural forms
of kineticism of the hand.
The butterfly boxes were
placed on a white surface to
contrast and present the vibrant colors of the interior.
The piece has a surrealistic
quality to it as well, because
of its ambiguity of how is it
art for function or fantasy.
The Ladd Brothers composed "Shaboygen Tower"
from a board, plywood,
metal, fiber, beads, paper,
tulle, hair and pins. The 24
box tower is exhibited as a
landscape mounted on the
wall, instead of being exhibited on low platforms,
an incipient approach that
sanctions the viewer to get
astronomically proximate
to the entire sculpture to investigate its intricate details.
"Shaboygen" emanates
from a fleeting high school
\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\
recollection that evolved into
a code word that denoted
"utopia". This work explores
the light and dark recollections of the brother's high
school experience. Each box
contains its own backstoiy,
a visit to a friend's house
on Goosecreek inspired the
white beaded trees, while
the red fabric spirals reference how the family station wagon caught on fire
and burned while parked in
front of the brother's high
school. The piece is reminiscent of a volcano. There
is a variety within the landscape, with the intriguing
textures of the transparency
of the beads and the pins.
In addition, the scrolls and
adjuncts were a fascinating touch that helped bring
the piece in conjunction.
Exhibitions at the Mingei
included "Function + Fantasy: The Ladd Brothers",
which focuses on reusing
eco-friendly materials in
their art. The duo continue to
work on new pieces and plan
on a fall show at the Invisible
Dog Art Center in New York.

ASSISTANT OPINION EDITOR
There are many ways we
can make our lives better
by adopting habits of sustainability. One of them is
by donating and shopping.
Yes, I do mean shopping.
Instead of heading over
to the mall or your favorite
store, drive to your local thrift store and check
it out. I encourage you to
become a recycler of more
than just plastic water bottles and cans - get creative.
One way you can do that is
by donating your clothes.
Don't throw away the
things that you no longer
want, especially if they're
in perfect condition. Many
times we have clothes hidden deep in drawers or hung
in the back of the closet.
What can you do with those?
It's actually pretty simple.
Instead of throwing your
perfectly reusable clothes
away, put them in a box
and drive to your local thrift
store. Every thrift store has
a place where you can drop
A LBUM R EVIEW
off your old stuff without
any questions or interferences. You can donate your
clothing, shoes, books, elec- ~
tronics, CDs, movies, etc.,
the list goes on and on. You
can be sure that your stuff
will be bought and reused by
someone else in the world.
The other thing you can
do, as mentioned before,
is shop. Personally, I love ^
to thrift. About 80 percent
of my clothes comes from
thrifting. The trick is to be,
first of all, very patient. After a while it becomes easier
and somewhat natural. With
time you'll be able to know
where and when the "good"
stuff will be. Not only do ^
you get extremely cheap and
brand clothes, but you also
get to be creative and create
your own style. The awesome thing about shopping at
the thrift store is many times
youfinditems that cannot be
purchased anywhere else. It
adds a "one of a kind" sense
to your style. Not only will
you walk out of that store
with a bag full of clothes,
but you will also be a contributor of recycled items.

Aubrey Graham, Wheelchair Jimmy, Drizzy or Octobers Very Own; these are
just a few of the alias' that
Drake is known by. The rapper hailing from Toronto,
Canada or as he calls it "The
Six," pulled a "Beyonce" on
Feb. 13 by giving the world a
surprise release of his album.
Critics and fans were not
upset. If anything, it confused
people. This was not just by
the surprise release, but also
by the title of the album, the
album cover and the fact that
it was not the expected, highly anticipated album Drake
eluded to in the middle of
2014, "Views from the 6."
"If you're reading this it's
too late" is not your traditional Drake album. This
isn't "So Far Gone," the
mixtape that helped build
Drake's huge following by
introducing the hip-hop
world to melodic sounds
paired with sensitive lyrics.
Nor is this "Take Care," his
second album that was bolstered with artistically emotional songs like "Marvins
Room" that had every guy
calling his ex-girlfriends
saying to them "you can do
better." This album is chalk
full of straight-up rap songs
that you and your friends
play unnecessarily loud
while on the way to the club.
If you plan to listen to this
album as you relax, do not
do it. This album will make
you want to go out and hit
the gym or dance in a mascot outfit on the sidelines of
an insanely hyped basketball
game. With lyrics like "Oh
my God, Oh my God if I die
I'm a legend," Drake sure
isn't being meek. It's like
we are hearing an aggressive Drake that's realized he
has established himself in
the rap game as one of the
best, so he's holding back on
trying to cater to anyone by
giving us a different sound
and no release date. Another lyric that preaches to that
would be "they think I'm
soft, think I'm innocent I'm
just lookin' in the mirror like
I'm really him man, I 'm really him, you just fillin' in."
This is definitely not
Drake's best work, but it is
better than 75 percent of other artists' albums that have
been put out recently. Will it
win a Grammy? No. What it
will do is have you reciting
lyrics randomly on the way
to your destination. However, it wouldn't be a Drake album if it didn't have at least
one of those nice slow songs
you can cuddle to with your ^
significant other. Just skip to
the song "Jungle" if you're
in one of those moods.
Otherwise, be prepared to
delve into a musical journey that contains plenty
of expletives and Drake
showing us he is indeed not >
as soft as we think he is.

Veteran's
Center
Tuesday, September 2 3, 2014.
After formal introductions,
ceremony leaders welcomed
everyone in attendance to join
in celebrating the well-deserved veteran's facility that
has culminated from years
of planning and hard work.
"A great deal of hard work,
dedication and collaborative planning have gone
into building this new Veteran's Center," said Claudia
Oreegal, a Senior MIS major
who has been working with
campus veterans for over
eight years. "This new center
is so thoughtfully designed
to support not only veterans, but their families, and
in turn, the entire CSUSM
student body as well."
The new center will strive
to focus on any and every
subject and concern veterans, active duty and military
families could ever need assistance or guidance with.
Although
the
Veteran's
Center Staff has been working on campus supporting
members for many years,
the entire CSUSM community is looking forward
to the positive impact the
new facility will have on
the lives everyone involved.
"Involvement" is a key
word when recognizing
both the purpose of the
new center as well as the
combined efforts to bring
the facility to fruition. S o
many pillars of the community jumped at the chance to
contribute to the new center
from design to construction. According to Margaret
Chantung, CSUSM's Public
Information Officer, the new
1,000-square-foot
energyefficient building was donated and designed via the
Stevens Institute of Technology students who undertook the entire project for
the U.S. Department of En-
ergy's 2013 Solar Decathlon.
Involvement is a notion
adopted by the Veteran Center Staff as well. More than
a couple of the student veteran speakers made certain
to let the entire crowd know
that they credit the Veteran's
Center Staff's immediate involvement and taking ownership of their concerns as
the reason for their success
as CSUSM students. "As a
military dependent, one of
r-
thefirstthings that impressed
about the Veteran's Center
Staff is that my questions
and concerns were no less or
more important than anyone
else's," said Chis Morales, a
second year criminology major. "It seemed like they automatically got involved, knew
what stage in my efforts I
was at, and stayed involved
until I got all o f the resolution I needed so I could focus
completely on my studies."
CSUSM student veteran and Senior MIS Major Claudia Oreegal attentively listens to questions and concerns of fellow student veterans at the front
desk of the new Veteran's Center. The new center is the culmination of many
hours of work on behalf of many people and organizations focusing on providing support for the entire community. Photo by Matthew J. Kuhlman

Conversations That Matter
Opportunity for students to
engage in educational discussion
By Ryan Downs
News Editor
Over the course of the coming year, the Office of Diversity, Educational Equity and
Inclusion will be hosting a
series pf guest lectures on
the subject of diversity and
inclusiveness on campus.
However, what makes
these particular events different from others hosted
by the campus in the past
is the more open forum
they provide for students
to communicate with both
the lecturer and each other
about racial, gender and religious diversity on campus.
The first in the series will
debut Sept. 29, where Dr.
G. Cristina Mora, an A ssociate Professor of Sociology from UC Berkeley, will
be discussing a topic about
the etymology of LatinAmericans, and where the
terms "Hispanic" and "Latino" come from. This is also
meant to lead into a wider
discussion on how individuals from multiple nations,
such as Puerto Rico, Mexico
and Cuba, are consistently
put under one or two generalized names. Dr. Mora
is also the author of a book
on the subject, titled Making Hispanics: How Activists, Bureaucrats and Media
Constructed a New America.
"I'm actually very excited about the series because I think it's going to
be a great opportunity for
our campus community to
get together and talk about
these issues, whether it's
about gender, sexual orientation, religion or nationality,"
VP of the Office of Diversity, Arturo Ocampo, said.
Ocampo has played a part
in bringing the series to
campus. However, although
his office will help provide funding to the series,
he has mentioned that, for
the most part, he wishes to
not become too authoritative. Instead he wants to allow the people involved to
take a sense of autonomy,
so, ultimately, the series
can better reflect the attitudes of students on campus .
Dr. Mora's presentation will
take place from 12 p.m. to 1
p.m. on Sept. 29 in the U SU
ballroom. For more information about the Conversations
that Matter series, students
may contact Arturo Ocampo at the Office of Diversity at aocampo@csusm.edu.
"Yes Means Yes" reorganizes the
sexual consent agenda
By Jasmine Demers
Community News Editor
Lawmakers of the California State Senate have recently
passed a bill that will change
the definition of sexual consent on college campuses
and will require a shift in policy regarding student safety.
S B-967, also know as the
"Yes Means Yes" Bill, was
proposed by State Sen. Kevin
de Leon on Aug. 2 8, 2014.
If approved by Governor
Jerry Brown, the previous
representative slogan, "No
Means No", will be replaced
by an alternative approach,
which emphasizes consent
as an "affirmative, conscious
and voluntary agreement to
engage in sexual activity."
Under SB-967, California campuses will not be
able to receive state funds
for financial aid unless they
"adopt certain sexual assault policies and protocols." These policies include
a partnership with on and
o ff campus resources that
will serve as assistance to
survivors of sexual assault
and the implementation
of outreach programs that
advocate for these issues.
Karen GuzmXn, a student
and advocate against sexual
violence at CSUSM, explains
that these requirements are
necessary in order to provide
adequate survivor support.
"This bill makes it a requirement to have established relationships with
survivors, to have advocates
for survivors and to have a
campaign against sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking/'
GuzmXn said. "This gives
us visibility and presence
as students who have been
affected by these issues."
The California State University system, including
CSUSM, already has a detailed memorandum that
was revised and republished
on June 3 , 2014. It highlights many of the points
that are listed in SB-967
and incorporates a comprehensive investigative plan
for sexual assault cases.
This system wide memorandum is in accordance
with Title IX, a federal
law that requires educational institutions to prohibit
sex
and
gender
discrimination,inclu<3yingsexual harassment and violence.
The proposal of SB-967
is reportedly in response to
several Title DC violations
amongst higher education
institutions. The U .S. Dept.
of Education, on May 1 of
this year, released a list of
5 5 college campuses who
are under a federal investigation for violating policies of sexual assault. On
a positive note, CSUSM is
not a violator of the law and
is not included in this list.
Bridget Blanshan, the Title
IX coordinator at CSUSM,
explains that the proposal
is not very different than
the policies that the University currently upholds.
"There is not a great deal
of difference between how
our policy defines consent.
It kind of takes laws that axe
already in existence and af-
firms them " Blanshan said.
She explains that this bill,
along with the already implemented policy, is important because of its goal to
protect students and to create outreach for these issues.
"We are trying to expand
our outreach and education so
that people understand what
healthy sexual behavior is,"
Blanshan said. "We want to
talk about the importance of
approaching sexual encounters in a way that it's cool to
communicate about it. It's
important to get consent, it's
important to not feel funny
about asking, and it's important to intervene when you
s ee something going wrong."
"Yes Means Yes," according to Blanshan, is a new
phrase that can be used to advocate against sexual assault
and to provide crucial support for survivors. SB-967
is unanimously supported by
California State Universities
and its fate will be determined
by Governor Jerry Brown
by the end of September.
'Documented'filmhumanizes the battle for rights
By Katlin Sweeney
Editor-in-Chief
The debate over whether
or not undocumented in-
dividuals should receive
citizenship has sparked the
creation of a documentary
following one man's journey.
In "Documented," filmmaker Jose Antonio Vargas, a Pulitzer prize winning journalist, recounts his
experience growing up in
America while hiding his
identity as an undocumented
individual. The movie will
be screened at CSUSM, giving students, faculty and
staff an inside look into
how labels like "illegal alien" can negatively define
and shape people's lives.
After the film has been
viewed, those in attendance
will have the opportunity to
participate in a discussion
with a four-person panel.
The speakers seated at this
panel will include Dr. Vincent Pham from the CSUSM
Communication Dept., Dr.
Gail Perez from the U SD
Ethnic Studies Dept., Joseph
Allen Ruanto-Ramirez from
the UCSD Cross-Cultural
Center and Thiana Ruiz from
various CSUSM student orgs.
Thiana Ruiz shared that
being a part of the panel
gives her the hope of beginning more conversations
among undocumented individuals about becoming
comfortable with their identity as an undocumented.
"I believe that I have commonalities with the film
characters, " Ruiz said. "I
think that being an undocumented student on campus
is often difficult and there
is the fear that you will be
judged. We live in a country where you are pointed at,
there are issues and government policies that don't allow you to do certain things.
But these are just obstacles
that we have to overcome."
According to Dr. Matthew
Atherton, an Associate Professor in the Sociology Dept.,
the film screening is sponsored by the CHABSS Global Commitment Initiative
and the Engaging Diverse
Dialogues Initiative. "Documented" is the first of three
films that will be shown on
Global Migration at CSUSM.
"Documented" will be
screened from 5:30 p.m. to
7:00 p.m. on Sept. 2 4 in the
U SU Ballroom, followed
by the panel discussion
from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Run with me.. Come quick see
What you've been missing out on from cross country
By Burtland Dixon
Staff Writer
Cross-country is a sport
where the athlete is purely
fueled by determination
and motivation. If competitors show up on the day of
competition without those
two traits, they might as
well have stayed home.
Teammates want competitors to succeed, fans want
competitors to win, and with
that sense of community
on your side, excitement is
bound to erupt at any moment.
The truth i s, the sport of
cross-country doesn't seem
to be as striking as other
sports at CSUSM. Dozens
of runners line up before the
sound of the gun and then
proceed to run an extensive
amount of miles. This is not
as much of a team sport as
soccer and basketball, or
even a sport that you can
keep track of the entire time.
However, none of these
miniscule details should
keep anyone from giving
the cross-country team the
recognition they so highly
deserve. The exceptional
mental capacity and physical
prowess a great runner requires is almost unparalleled.
That is exactly what the cross
country team at CSUSM
is made o f, great runners.
It's not often that a Silver
Medalist World Champion
and Gold Medalist Olympic
Champion gets to help an

athlete in any sport. Luckily for CSUSM, Steve Scott,
who just so happens to bear
the aforementioned accolades, is in fact the head
coach of the men's and
women's cross country team.
With having ran the most
sub-four minute miles in
history, it is not absurd to
believe Coach Scott can turn
a golfer into a highly competitive runner. This only
makes the idea of rooting
and being proud of the sport
that much more exciting.
"It's exciting especially if
you have a good team, you
know to be out there and you
can run around," Coach Scott
said. "It's almost like being
on the sideline of a soccer
game coaching the team"
All the cross-country team
seems to do is harvest the
fruits of their labor. With
the men's and women's
team being ranked in the top
10 in the NALA and bringing home banners year af-
ter year, cross-country has
earned at least an inch of
respect from even the biggest pessimist. Practicing
strides of up to 80 miles per
week appears to be a stepping stone of which they leap
off to redeem their success.
Not all sports teams have
the same flexibility as the
cross-country team. During a competition, a viewer
can actually run with the
person while cheering them
on, giving them the proper
motivation they need as
they run their hearts out.
Now knowing all of the
information about the hard
work put in, high-caliber
coaching and one's ability
to be seamlessly integrated
in the races, what is preventing the cross-country team
from being more notably
recognized? The answer to
that would be nothing at
all. Remember becoming a
bandwagon fan for your own
school is completely fine.

The dreaded freshman 15

By Mackenzie Clark
Assistant to Sports Editor
The Freshman 15 may
have already affected many
students on the CSUSM
campus, but this doesn't
have to happen to you.
Needless to say, many
students gain 15 pounds
their freshman year of college. However, there are
many tricks to avoid the
Freshman 15. Luckily the
Quad and UVA both have
kitchens, which makes it
much easier to eat healthier.
Brianna Galloway, third
year at CSUSM majoring
in business, said she successfully beat the Freshman 15, suggesting many
strategies to avoid it.
"I found the time around
classes and homework to
make it to the gym as much
as possible. Sometimes it was
only two days, others it was
six," Galloway said. "I utilized our Clark gym throughout my freshman year."
Working out is a key
component to avoiding the
Freshman 15, but eating
healthy is just as important. Galloway said some
of her favorite things to eat
were smoothies, broccoli
and fish. Not only is it critical for you to eat healthy
but it is also essential to
take good care of your body.
"I definitely try to stay
away from alcohol," Galloway said. "I know that we
are in college, and w e like
to party, but alcohol every
weekend could add on more
pounds than you think if you
don't live an active lifestyle."
Taking care of yourself
and being aware of what you
put into your body will help
you stay in the best shape.
Kiana Highsmith, first year
at CSUSM and currently
living at the Quad, usually
cooks her own meals in the
kitchen provided in the dorms
to try and stay away from
frozen and artificial foods.
She also uses the gym
in the Quad and takes
the stairs on campus instead of the elevators.
"I g o to the gym when I
have free time but simply
taking the stairs on campus can play a huge role in
staying fit," Highsmith said.
The legendary Freshman
15 doesn't have to affect
you. All you need to do is
stay healthy and active. Even
walking around on campus
all day can be a workout if
you choose to take the stairs.

Wide awake drunk: The dangers of mixing energy drinks and alcohol
By Alexis Saucedo
Sports Columnist
What if there was an alcoholic beverage that masked
the effects of alcohol, further
complicating the thought
process? There is such a
drink and many are not even
aware of it. This beverage
is a mixed drink, containing
both alcohol and caffeine.
The
younger
generation is well aware of the
risks associated with drinking alcohol. Whether it is
a f ew beers with friends at
happy hour or a weekend
bender, alcohol can impair
judgment, which may lead
to poor decision-making.
According to the Washington State Liquor Control
Board, in addition to impaired judgment, the stimulants in energy drinks can
mask the depressant effects
of the alcohol. The caffeine
reduces the feeling of drunkenness, which results in the
inability to sense the true
level of intoxication. This
inability can lead individuals to drink even more and
engage in risky behavior.
The Washington State Liquor Board also says the combination of a depressant and a
stimulant can have a negative
effect on the heart and cause
rapid heartbeat, shortness of
breath and even heart attack.
In an article by the Student Health Department at
California State University
Chico, those consuming
such beverages have a higher
chance of becoming dehydrated, since both alcohol
and energy drinks are diuretics. Depending on the indi-
vidual, higher levels of dehydration while drinking can
also produce a more
severe
hangover.

The passion for the game
of baseball has driven Chris
Benson and AJ Vega to begin the creation of a brand
new baseball club that will
have their inaugural campaign this upcoming spring.
Both students enrolled
with the intention to be on
the university's baseball
team; however, they were
unable to overcome the difficult task of making the roster during walk-on tryouts.
Benson and Vega did not let
their own personal shortcomings deter them from their
preeminent goal of playing baseball during college.
"I went to the tryout as a
walk-on last October and
didn't make the team but I
still didn't want to give up
on baseball," Benson said.
"I asked Coach Dennis Pugh
how I can be a part of baseball
and he mentioned the pos-
having each possess many
years of playing competitive baseball on their resume.
"From other students perspectives they will think I
don't know what I'm doing,
but I have played baseball
for 17 years and had o ffers to play baseball at division three colleges," said
Benson. "I have a good

Organization Spotlight:
Kamalayan Alliance
By Celeste Morales

Student
org.
Kamalayan
Alliance
advocates creating a diverse
community
at CSUSM.
The organization's main
focus is awareness and community, aiming to represent
the Asian American Pacific
Islanders (AAPI) community of California State University San Marcos and to
provide a diverse environment for CSUSM students.
CSUSM student Andrea
Aduna, student affairs coordinator, and Huy To, the mediator between Kamalayan
Alliance on campus and the
other AAPI communities,
are among some of the faces behind the organization.
Kamalayan Alliance was
developed because racial
slurs began circulating about
the AAPI community. The
organization came together
to fight against this maltreatment against students and,
out of their fight, blossomed a
family of purpose and values.
The organization started
in 2 005 with five founding fathers who wanted to
continue to have a place
for people to come together
and have a v oice. Kamalayan Alliance tries to rep-
resent the community as
much as possible, while
making it fun and exciting
for people to join, come together and have a good time.
Some of Kamalyan Alliance's goals are to continue
to get students to join the
community, but to also build
collaboration through other
organizations in order to join
forces and share resources,
thus creating a school that
is
more
diverse.

Professor Mustard urges student mentoring
B y C helsey G onzalez
Outreach Assistant
Professor Mustard is a
great example of how being in a field you love can
not only enrich your life but
also provide great inspiration for those around you.
CSUSM Adjunct Professor Robert Mustard of Biological Sciences expressed
his love for biology and the
joy he receives from being a professor of biology.
Professor Robert Mustard was born and raised in
Madison Heights, Michigan, where he graduated
from Lamphere High school.
From there, Mustard continued on to a number of
different colleges and universities without a specific career path in mind.
He obtained his AAS degree in Computer Science
at Oakland Community College, where he held a career
in Information Technologies for 20 years. Professor Mustard went on to get
his second degree in Environmental Studies at DePaul University in Chicago.
Professor Mustard also previously attended CSUSM and
received a masters in biology.
"I was burned out from my
previous position and I decided I wanted to g o back to
my first love, Biology," Professor Mustard said. "Two

During his undergraduate studies, Professor Mustard worked as a research
assistant for three years
under Dr. George Vourlitis. Mustard encourages
students to get involved in
any form of student mentor relationship as he credits Dr. Vourlitis with much
of his professional growth
during this time in his life.
"Talk to your professors,

and they are always looking

you to," Mustard said. "Go
do an internship over summer to gain some experience and see what you like."
Professor Mustard's devotion in combining the
classroom and the great outdoors to enrich a person's
life comes through in what
he offers to the classroom.
Through his involvement
with the Shedd Aquarium
in Chicago and The Daily
Ranch in Escondido, he has
both learned from others and
shared his knowledge and
love of science and nature.
He explained his love for
both biology and ecology
including his appreciation
of natural spaces and his
dedication to the subject.
There is not a lot of delineation between my personal
life and my work life," Mustard said. "I don't mind if
work overflows into my personal life and my personal
life overflows into work."
When it comes to wanting
to purely enjoy the environment, Professor Mustard
takes time to appreciate
nature. For Professor Mustard, one of his favorite
hobbies is scuba diving.
Mustard
continues
to
encourage students in all
fields to pursue a career that
they are passionate about.
"Find something you love,
find something you have a
passion for and do it well,"
Professor Mustard said. "If
you don't like what you are
doing, get out of it; life is
too short to be unhappy."

Get your buzz on with Better Buzz coffee
The coffee shop, reinvented
B y A nna M aria P etrov
StaffWriter
Better Buzz coffee near
CSUSM is a unique and
quaint coffee shop in San
Marcos, perfect for grabbing a tasty cup of coffee on an early weekday
or
weekend
morning.
It might not be a traditional
c offee place since there is no
option to sit inside like other
c offee shops, but it does o ffer the best c offee around.
Overall, the atmosphere
is pleasant. There are three
tables, two of which have
umbrellas, and two wicker benches with comfortable cushions overlooking the San Marcos Hills.
There is soft music playing in the background imparting a relaxed mood.
Their prices are similar to other c offee shops
in the area and range from
$3.75 for a regular size coffee to $4.55 for a large size.
They offer different varieties of c offee from hot lattes
to Mexican Mochas to iced
c offee. Better Buzz even has a
drink called Best Drink Ever.
Additionally, there are
some c offee alternatives o ffered like Iced Tea, Hot Tea
with assorted varieties, Tea
Latte with black or green
herbals, Chai Tea Latte,
Mexican Hot Chocolate and
just regular Hot Chocolate.
Surprisingly^ Better Buzz
also sells smoothies such
as Acai, Strawberry Banana, Mango
Madness,
Passion
Orange
Guava
and Red Bull Smoothie.
Better Buzz's food selection does not disappoint either and includes options
like the Acai Bowl and
Yogurt Parfait. For those
with a sweet tooth, there
is also an array of tasty
treats to g o along with any
of their delicious drinks.
Better Buzz is located in a
small plaza where you can
either walk up or grab a cup
at the drive-thru to get your
daily buzz. This c offee shop
is unconventional but perhaps that is the best part.
There are several other
locations around Southern
California: a c offee shop
at Mission Beach - The
Lab, a cart at Fashion Valley Mall and a cafe at Pacific Beach. Better Buzz is
also opening a new location
at Point Loma, which will
be a cafe and a drive-thru.
Better Buzz is open from
5:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on
Monday through Saturday
and 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
on Sunday. It is located at

Professor Wallace advises

Professor Wallace has a
deep love for the craft of
writing and what it can do,
and he hopes to instill the
same passion in his students.
Creative writing professor,
Mark Wallace, is one among
many CSUSM faculty members who has published several books. As a versatile
writer, Wallace doesn't stick
to only one form of writing.
Over the years, he has written on an assortment of topics from experimental poetry
to straight forward prose.
"I don't do the same stuff
with genre every single
time," Professor Wallace
said. "Each one of these
books is very different."
Over the years, Professor Wallace has published
10 books, and he is currently working on another
novel, more specifically,
a Science Fiction piece
called Crab set to be re-
whether
"I've been interested in
being a writer almost my
whole life," Professor Wallace said. "My parents read
to me and I read books
early and I started writing
my own poems and stories
when I was in third grade."
After college and before teaching writing at
CSUSM, Professor Wallace had several jobs, most
distinctly as a freelance
journalist and professional
editor for a number of years.
Despite holding down full
time gigs that demanded his
attention, Wallace snagged
moments for his personal
writing projects whenever
possible—notably, one of
his collections of poetry was
completely written during
bus rides to and from work.
Some of his published novels include Complications
from Standing in a Circle,
Dead Carnival, Felonies of
Illusion,
Haze: Essays,
Poems, Prose,
5 Nothing
Happened
and Besides
I
Wasn't
There, Sonnets of a PennyA-Liner, Temporary Worker
Rides a Subway, The B ig
Lie, The Quarry and the
Lot and Walking Dreams.
" You've got to get involved
and, in fact, that makes it no
different than anything else,"
Professor Wallace said. "If
you want to succeed in something you've got to figure out
what's going on in that area
of life and be a part of it."
"I've been interested in being
a writer almost
my whole life/
that

or an online community
of writers and readers,"
Professor Wallace
said.
His love for writing lead
him to attain a BA in English with a minor in Statistics
from the George Washington
University, an MA in Creative Writing from SUNYBinghamton and finally a
second MA and Ph.D. in
English at SUNY-Buffalo.

C SUSM s inger/songwriter G ian C aballero
By Nada Sewidan
Features Editor
To Gian Caballero, music is more than lyrics and
guitar strings, but rather
an art that he hopes will
move and inspire people.
Caballero recalls his first
performance as a child
when he would stand on
the kitchen table, Beatles
track playing in the background, singing along to the
lyrics "Shake It Up Baby."
He is a self taught singer/
songwriter who previously
released an album and is
currently working on producing a second. Caballero's music is inspired by
memories of real people who
greatly impacted his life.
"Anything that deals with
struggle and pain inspires
songwriting," Caballero said.
"I like writing about the human condition, fall of man,
heavy details, all kinds of
relationships and religion."
In further discussing his
future goals with music, Caballero explained that when
it comes to his music, he
doesn't like to get ahead of
himself. He prefers to take
it one step at a time. When
constructing music, he also
believes in taking time to
create and write a song.
Future plans for Caballero's music include recording
his songs live and producing

an album in the upcoming
year. He hopes to produce
the new EP (an extended play
album) in vinyl as well as
regular CD format. His next
step will include promoting
his music and gaining support by playing local shows.
"My big dream for my music is to hopefully tour the
West Coast," Caballero said.
When asked who influenced his pursuit for music,
Caballero
quickly
spoke about his family.
"My mom taught me the
first four guitar chords but
after that I became self
taught," Caballero said. "But
it was my dad who taught me
how to be a fan of music."
When performing a song
on stage, he expressed
how a song always transports him back to how it
felt when he first wrote it.
"Normally I like to close
myself off and close my
eyes," Caballero said. "All I
hear is my guitar and vocals."
Caballero produced an
EP in 2 012 called A Hint of
Feeling. Some of the songs
off the album include Feathers Float, Dirty Girls and
Sheep. He is currently working on recording a new album for the upcoming year
which will include his new
song, My Mind is North.
Some of the places he has
performed include Normal
Height, "The SatsV, Coffee House, 5th Avenue in
Gaslamp, Kettle Coffee and
Tea in Escondido and Hill
Street Cafe in Oceanside.
Caballero's musical influenees included The Beatles, Simon & Garfünkel,
Elliott Smith and Damien Rice, among others.
Caballero advises other student artists interested in pursuing music to just get out there.
"Do it for the love of it,"
Caballero said. "Write a lot
because the more you write
the easier it is to figure out
what about you works."
Caballero will be performing some of his new songs
off his upcoming album on
Friday, Sept. 26 at Kettle
Coffee and Tea in Escondido. Caballero's music is
available for purchase on giancaballero .bandcamp .com.

not won by the result of any

Mexican culture. Coming
from a culture that allows
language learners a very
small margin of error and
does not tolerate those who
surpass that margin, I initially felt an unrealistic need
to speak Spanish perfectly.
It wasn't until I was having
dinner one day with the pastor's family when I finally
let g o of that need. Seated
across from the pastor's
son, a student at the Techni-
cal University of Tijuana, I
began conversing with him
in English. I did so, not because I desired to be comfortable myself, but because
I thought it would annoy him
less to listen to my English
than it would for him to decipher the meaning behind my
butchered Spanish. He soon
asked if we could switch
languages. I was shocked
that someone would suffer
the nuisance of my insufficiency. I was stunned to discover that these insufficien-
cies, though undoubtedly
existent, were not enough
for him to consider me a nuisance at all— the conversation lasted for 4 5 minutes.
It is amazing to witness
mutual love and care for
one another disarm personal
fears and foster a greater
resolve to continue the cycle of love. I'd encourage
anyone to seek out ways of
serving others. You can be
used for great things and
you don't have to cross the

COUGAR
A comment from a stranger
comparing me with a prostitute was once given because
I was wearing the equivalent
of more than a string bikini.
Whether the apparel-prescribing person's motivation is religion or an aversion to a particular flesh, I
find the constant advising
of modesty to be controlling
and ill-considered.
There are many reasons
why people wear what they
do. Climate influences dress.
Areas of high heat often have
less clothing or looser, more
natural fibers. Activity of the
day can determine how one
dresses. People wear clothing for others and themselves. These choices reflect
individuality and choice, as
well as provide a pastime.
Dress can be a sign of individuality and rebellion. In
Survey of Historic Costume,
Phyllis Eubank and Keith
Tortura point to flappers,
hippies and youth culture.
These are all examples of
young people who explored
themselves through clothing.
College is often a time
where new adults are expressing themselves with
less dress code rules than
CHRONICLE
they had in high school. They
are exercising buying power
and freewill. The clothing
shrinks on many women, and
youth play with new styles.
Clothing
investigation seems to be a phase
many have to g o through,
though many will inevitably pick sensible shoes
over high-heels on stairs
eventually. Silly as some
clothes many look, they o ffer valuable cues to others
about who w e want to be
and who w e want to attract.
Dress is adhered to in part
to signal to a subculture our
inclusion or availability.
"Objects become signs of
forbidden identity, sources
of value," Dick Hebdige
said in Subculture and Style.
When it comes to modesty,
it is a fine trait when one
chooses it for themselves, but
a rude command when others
dictate it. Each determines
what the word means, for it
can be moderation, be it internal or external, limited to
one virtue, but not the next.
We shouldn't tell people
what to wear because how
a person dresses should
be based on their comfort
and choice. How some-
STAFF
one dresses is essentially
their choice. B y respecting
someone else's decision,
you respect your o wn. B y
judging someone based on
what they wear, w e reveal
ourselves as judgmental
and slander their reputation.
I find it odd that modesty
is often dressed as a lack o f
nudity. The hasty generalization from "barely clothed" to
"of dubious moral character"
doesn't make sense. It is as
if the body is an object of
shame, or at least the narrow bits that can't be seen
in polite company are. People are born naked. Disrespecting someone based on
an aversion to their body is
your problem, not theirs.
Stonings, gossip, alienation and other tragedies have
been committed in the name
of modesty. It often seems
to be a trait that is applied to
women specifically. Could
this be a carryover from
times when lineage relied on
a son being unquestionably
his father's? From a time
when women were considered the weaker s ex, were
told to say in the domestic
sphere and were thought
to be more emotional?

Hey you, I can see your
butt hanging out of those
shorts. If you had to check
right now, this article is one
hundred percent about you.
I get it, college is a time
where students finally don't
have parents dictating what
they can and cannot wear. But
just because we now have all
this freedom, doesn't mean
that it should be abused.
It's embarrassing to me, as
a woman, when I see other
girls walking around campus with their butt cheeks
hanging out of their shorts.
And it should be embarrassing for all of you, too.
I am someone who firmly
believes that there is a time
and a place for all different
types of dress. I'm not saying that you can't wear these
shorts at all, they're great
for say, the beach or a pool
party, but I am saying that
you should be dressing appropriately for being on a
college campus where you
are seeking higher learning.
If someone were to walk
into a classroom scantily
clad in a Vegas-style nightclub dress, you would think
they were ridiculous. And
yet, if someone walks into
a classroom wearing booty
shorts that show the same
amount of skin, the

somehow deemed appropriate. This isn't okay. We're
all here to earn an education,
and hopefully not waste our/
the government's/our parent's money. S o w e should
be dressing for success, not
to grab the attention of the
cute boy who sits two seats
behind us in Psych 100.
Ladies, let's take a step
back and look at how we're
portraying ourselves and
our self-worth. D o you really want a guy to like you
because you wear shorts
that show off your assets to
everyone and their mom?
Probably not. If you do,
then you have bigger problems to worry about than the
clothes that you choose to
wear to your college classes.
Guys, do you really want
to date a girl who wears
clothes that make it so everyone on campus is getting
to see the areas of vour girl-
friend that only you should
have the privilege of seeing? Just as an example,
my friend Brian thinks that
"it looks trashy" when girls
wear shorts that show off
their butt cheeks and that
"anyone who feels the need
to attract people with just
their bodies probably doesn't
have anything else to offer."
I know you're expressing
your freedom to wear whatever you want, but let's be
a little more classy and discerning while on campus.
We all need to focus on our
studies, do well and be the
best versions of ourselves
that w e can be. The way that
w e dress isn't just a reflection
on ourselves, but also on the
values and ideals of our generation. I hope to be part of a
campus community that exudes confidence, self-worth
and potential, rather than butt
Transferring to a new
school can be intimidating.
Last Fall I transferred to
CSUSM as a junior. I didn't
know what to expect since
the only college I had ever
gone to was MiraCosta College for the past three years.
When I went to the transfer
orientation, I was astounded
by the large and beautiful campus. The Kellogg
Library alone must be bigger than all of MiraCosta.
I was under the impression
that except for the size, there
would not be that much of a
difference studying at a university compared to a community college. However,
as my first semester here got
underway I was surprised
that the classes all seemed
to be paced a little faster
and the expectancy for good
work was a little higher.
That was when all of my
happy ideals of being at a
university were replaced by
reality. For the entirety of
that first semester I felt like
a stranger in a new city. I
didn't know where I was
going most of the time and
got lost more than once trying to find my classrooms
(although this wasn't too
surprising since I am the
poster child for getting lost).
I had just changed my
major before coming to this
school so I didn't know very
many people in my classes.
Thatfirstsemester for me was
mainly an adjustment period.
My second semester went
much better. I really enjoyed
the classes I was in, I had
friends in most of my classes and my professors were
amazing. I was beginning to
feel more at home at CSUSM.
I remember when the U SU
building opened, my friend
and I explored it with such
wonder and awe. I felt so
privileged to go somewhere
that had such fancy and
grand places for the students and faculty. Now when
someone asks me where
I g o to school, I tell them
with pride and enthusiasm.
There were three main
things that helped me
settle
in
at
CSUSM
as a transfer student.
The first was that I pushed
myself to be outgoing and
strike up conversations with
as many people as I could.
Not only did it help me get
to know some really great
people, it also helped me
feel more comfortable at the
school. I actually met one
of my closest friends during Orientation because I
complimented her headband.
That was all it took for us to
start talking and realize how
much we had in common.
The second thing I tried
to do was talk to my professors after class and during
office hours. They have all
been very welcoming and
helpful. There is a professor
that has inspired me more
than anyone else and by
getting to know her better,
she has become my mentor.
The last thing I did was
give myself time; time to
adjust, time to feel like I belonged, time to let familiarity
replace the awkward newness. This is a great place
to earn your degree and
while it can be a little difficult to acclimate initially,
it is completely worth it.
My advice to a transfer
student would be to take
a deep breath, use your
campus map if you need
it, and enjoy the journey.
Why Literature & Writing is best major
Photo by Noelle Friedberg.
By Caleb Hogland
StaffWriter
Have you chosen a major
yet? It's kind of important.
When we were preparing to leave high school, w e
were all told to think about a
career. We were supposed to
know what career we would
want for the rest of our lives.
But the first step in getting
to that final life-changing
career is to decide on a major. You know, that one area
of study you are about to
spend the next four years
of your life focusing on.
In order to decide your
major, you have to think
about what you want. S o
what is it? What are you
the most interested in? Is
money your driving factor or is it something else?
The major I have chosen is
Literature and Writing, and if
you're wondering, yes, it is
the best major you can choose.
Sure, you can ask what
good is it knowing about
Hemingway, T.S. Eliot or
everyone's favorite, William Shakespeare. But there
is much more to it than
knowing old and outdated
writers and literary works.
Literature and Writing is
called literary arts because it
is in fact an art. People often
think of art as paintings and
music and forget that writing
is one also. It is quite possibly
the most powerful and moving art form of all. Writing is
an art where anyone can learn
how to express his or herself.
Not only is it a form of
expression, but it is just as
importantly a technique
of exploration. Exploration through writing brings
forth all your thoughts, subconscious and conscious,
into one profound moment
of expression and meaning. We all have beliefs,
but how do you truly know
and understand what you
believe unless you have
thoroughly thought it out?
Writing will help you explore not just who you are,
but why you are. Through
writing you can better understand all topics that present themselves. Issues of
ethics, beauty, economics, government, war, religion and politics can all
be understood once you
have written about them.
The next time you think
about saying "I don't know"
to a tough question about
something going on in the
world, go write about it. You
will find out that you actually
do know more than you think.
If it turns out you really just
want a good, well-paying
job, and who doesn't, a major focused on writing is still
the way to go. I once heard a
CEO say, "Give me someone
who can write and I can work
with them. Give me someone
who can effectively communicate complicated ideas
and I will give you someone who will get promoted."
Even one of our very own
CSUSM professors said
that "when you turn in your
resume with your cover letter, they do not see you.
They only see your writing."
If you're still doubting the
relevance of writing, consider this: Last year Forbes,
one of the leading magazines
and websites on information about the world's business leaders, did a study on
the top ten most desirable
skills that would get you
hired. Of that ten, the top
four are closely tied to writing. Forbes did say the major
that's "most worth your tuition" is biomedical engineering. But if that's not what
you're into, and you still
don't know what you're doing at CSUSM, I would suggest Literature and Writing.
Plus, if the economy goes
downhill you can always
travel anywhere in the world
and teach English. S o what
major are you working on for
this chunk of your life? Consider Literature and Writing.

Long Beach Comic-Con
Convention enters sixth year with much anticipation
By Faith Orcino
A & E Editor
Before September ends,
head to the Long Beach
Convention
Center
for
Long Beach Comic-Con
where many activities will
be held regarding the comic industry and fandom.
Long Beach Comic-Con
(LBCCO) announced earlier
this month that they invited
a line of Guests of Honor
including veteran husbandand-wife duos Mike and Laura Allred of Marvel's Silver
Surfer and Amanda Conner
and Jimmy Palmiotti of DC's
Hariey Quinn. Conner and
Palmiotti created a variant
cover of Hariey Quinn # 10,
only available at the Phat
Collectibles booth during
LBCC. Organizers planned
a vast number of interesting programs for attendees,
hoping to fill their wants and
needs. Partner Hero Complex
of the LA Times will be moderating a number of panels in
the "Hero Complex" theater
room at the event while KaBOOM! provides interactive
children's activities where
they can learn to draw. While
they offer many things towards comics, they also have
panels about fiction writing,
animation and movies, es-

pecially of the horror genre.
Like last year, SGX Print
helps LBCC present one of
the largest artist alleys with
over 200 participants with
a wide range of talent from
web comic creators, writers to illustrators and inkers.
Most recently this past
week, the event revealed
news that they will be honoring the late Dwayne
McDuffie by creating an
award under his name.
More details regarding the
award will be made with
LBCC co-founders Martha
Donato and Phil Lawrence
and several distinguished
members of the comic and
animation industries at 10:30
a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 27.
Tickets for the convention
will still be available for online purchase until Sept. 26.
For those wanting to go for
the whole weekend, they can
get a pass for $45. Saturday
costs $30 while a Sunday
ticket is $20. There are a
number of special packages
also available with certain
fan incentives. If you do plan
on traveling, expect to pay
for parking in and around the
area. The convention center
is by the Queens way Bay and
many local attractions and
shopping areas so there are
options for dining and other
activities outside of LBCC.
It is best to create a schedule of your day(s) if you are
to join the festivities. There
will be much in store for attendees when LBCC takes
place on Sept. 27 and 28.
Fence/La Barda exhibit shows binational art The good, the bad and the decent
By Anne Hall
Advertising Manager
This exhibit is an interactive installation that includes paintings, drawings,
sculptures, text and writing.
A team of artists worked together to create the art that
fills the indoor and outdoor
landscapes that was adorned
with symbols of identity,
culture and what could appear as everyday norms.
The gallery opening reception for The Fence/La Barda
took place on Sept. 13 at Art
Produce Stone Paper Scissors Gallery in San D iego.
They adorned the building's windows and rear
garden fencing with what
appeared to be paper seagulls that were cutouts of
birds from magazine pages
that reflect on freedom and
flight. Entering the doorway, observers were greeted
with the months' itinerary
as the art series is scheduled
to have numerous events
take place through Oct 25.
This "bi-national art installation, performance and
lecture series" is designed to
be an "interactive, collaborative installation" according
to the press release, which
includes a tentative performance by Moya Devine on
Sept. 25 and a bi-national
exhibitions lecture featuring Jill Holstin and Anna
Stump at 7 p.m. on Oct. 2.
A large part of the work focused on how Mexico utilized
a means for recycling homes
that are commonly identified as transported houses.
These homes were made up
of plaster, recycled wood,
old wood pallets and other
easily accessible materials.
Because these homes had no
foundations when they were
abandoned, they were simply picked up and recycled
to be reused elsewhere as
additions to other people's
homes or
to satisfy
the needs
of
new
tenants.
The
c ampaign
will end at 7 p.m. on Oct.
18 with a presentation about
these transported houses
by Laura Migliorino and
Anthony Marchetti, who
are coming from Minnesota to present Occidente
Nuevo: Recycled Tijuana.
Anna Stump chaired the
whole year-long collaboration. Students from Southwestern College contributed the transported houses
that were models hanging
from the ceiling of the gallery. There was a considerable amount of difficulty
in the collaborative intentions of the artists for creating this event due to the
fact that the artists had such
a difficult time meeting.
"They never met because
they had so much trouble
getting across the border," a
professor and contributing
artist, Grace Gray-Adams,
said. "The reason I became
involved in the campaign
is because I had a fence."
The fence that is far more
"transparent" than the original, as so eloquently stated
by a nearby spectator had
shared, was donated by
Gray-Adams to help create
the divide
where the
participants must
decide
where the
differences lie on one side of the
fence as opposed to the other.
Where one side of the fence
is far more dense, smaller
and cut off from so much, the
other side of the fence is lush
with a garden that leads to a
path filled with lines from a
poem called "Discontent"
by Nilly Gill. It directs the
public to the other side of
the fence that has no other
way finding a way out than
retracing footsteps back into
the garden and outdoors.
There is much for the
spectator to observe and
ponder. So much is addressed in the exhibit that it
becomes powerful as a unit.

much trouble getting
across the border"

My experience at Mad Decent Block Party
By Collin Vaz
Assistant to Features Editor
DJ/Producer Diplo managed to bring a killer lineup
of artists and a healthy helping of controversy to downtown San Diego for his
Mad Decent Block Party.
Located on a fenced in
parking area on the South
Side of Petco Park, the event
was very affordable, costing
only $45 for entry. The block
party offered the 18+ crowd
a chance to see several top
name DJ's, at a nearby location, for a reasonable price.
After paying for parking,
my group and I anxiously
waited in line, dealt with
security and headed for the
free water fill up station. My
biggest gripe with the event
was with the security rules
in place. Not allowing standard rave items like plush
backpacks and kandi (plastic
beads made into bracelets
then traded with other ravers as a sign of peace and
friendship), was an obvious
attack on the rave subculture. The reason for this was
that Diplo wanted "everyone... there 100 percent for
the music. Not other stuff."
This statement upset many,
including the CEO of EDM
promotion organization Insomniac, Pasquale Rottella.
He expressed his discontent via Twitter stating that,
"Since the early days, dance
culture has always been a
non-judgmental environment
where you could express
your individuality through
art, music and positive energy." He also mentioned that
he "lovefs] that these beaded
works of art create a special bond between the giver
and recipient when traded."
Securing the smuggled
bracelets back onto our
wrists, w e made our way to
the sweet spot between being
close enough to see, but far
enough to dance in order , to
catch the last half of Cashmere Cat. This set contained
a solid mix of old and new
school rap that the crowd
was feeling, but not really
dancing too. TJR changed
that dynamic dramatically
within the first thirty seconds
of taking the stage. Dropping
a fun Melbourne Bounce
style set, he managed to
maintain the crowd's energy
for his entire mix. The only
complaint I heard repeatedly
was in regards to the heat.
After TJR left the crowd
begging for more, EDM
kingpin Laidback Luke gladly provided, spinning mainly
bounce, electro and future
house with a trap section to
please the crowd. We opted
to hang back for Flosstradamus's set, which consisted
entirely of trap beats, as expected, and the crowd seemed
to enjoy it. Trap is currently
at the popularity level dubstep was five years ago.
Diplo took the stage after Flosstradamus, dropping
a blend of new trap tracks
along with his signature dub
sound. Unfortunately, about
halfway through his set, he
turned off the music in order to bring four girls from
the crowd on stage to twerk
(shake one's booty rapidly).
He even announced to the
attendees that he wanted the
"guys [to] get some girls on
your shoulders, I,wapt tjipm
to twerk on top of you." Not
to mention I got wacked
in the head several times
when Diplo ordered everyone to remove their shirts
and swing them around
while he did so on a table on
stage- a standard occurrence
at his Major Lazer parties.
Zeds Dead saved us from
this saddening display of
attempted male dominance
by closing the night with a
dubstep heavy mix, with future house and electro tracks
thrown in. The duo sent everyone home on a great note.
I would definitely recommend the Mad Decent Block
Party to anyone with an interest in electronic music.
Judging by the success of
this year and years previous,
Diplo and friends will be
back to San Diego next year.

Jhené Aiko's "Souled Out"
By Shanice Davis
Staff Writer
Many are not familiar
with
the singersongwriter Jhene
Aiko.
She originally hit the scene
in the early 2 000s, affiliated
with R&B artists o f TUG
Entertainment
Marques
Houston, Omarion and the
then popular boy group B 2K,
writing songs for them. She
eventually disappeared for
a number of years from the
music scene . In 2011 A iko
came back and released her
mixtape Sailing Soul(s) and
by this time everyone is like
"Jhen£ who?" in response t o
the dropping o f her album.
But, as people started listening to her tracks and noticing,
she rolled with Drake, Kendrick Lamar and various other
members o f TDE. It was
clear to people that who ever
she was, she was about business. With the much success
of Sailing Soul(s), she wasn't
ready to stop there. S o when
fans heard of there possibly
being a second album, they
couldn't wait. Aiko then debuted her first album, Sail
Out last year in 2013, which
was applauded with much
approval as well, and finally her sophomore album.

Indie bands rocked big time stage
By Nada Sewidan
Features Editor
For Indie Jammers, Sept.
7 was unlike any Sunday in Oceanside Beach.
The
musicians-talented,
the crowds-rousing, the
energy-riveting; after all,
it was a sold out event.
There were two oceanfront
stages, seven bands and seven hours of nothing but music. Indie artists from Little
Hurricane, Wild Cub, J Roddy Walston, Joywave, Walk
the Moon, Bad Suns and
Phantogram performed in
the 2014 Independence Jam
hosted by FM 94.9 located
in the Junior Seau Oceanside Pier Amphitheater.

CSUSM gains
new School of Arts
Things are changing and
growing -at CSUSM. One of
the new and exciting things
that are opening up this year
is the new School of Arts.
The new college just
opened this semester but
many students do not know
about it. Jacquelyn Kilpatrick, the Director of the
School of Arts, is new to our
school since starting in July.
Her background is in literature and not art. However, she
sees having a degree in literature as something that has
helped her get where she is,
having given her an appreciation for all areas of the arts.
She developed the music and
art department at California
State University, Channel Islands, and CSUSM brought
her in because of her experience with building programs.
The administration felt
that one department does
not serve the needs of the
students well. In order to
help the students better, they
brought her in to devise a
plan that will help the five
hoping to gain expanded
programs and additional
emphasis in the fine arts."
Director Kilpatrick says
that the Visual Arts program
is the only one in our region,
which is a huge benefit for
students so that they have a
place to go, especially those
transferring from Palomar
College. One o f her goals
with this new college is for
the students to be more active in the art community so
that the school can be part of
a larger hub for local artists.
Right now, she says Oceanside has a vibrant arts community and is working on projects constantly. She would
like the school to eventually
work with people from that
community in order to establish ourselves as leaders in
the arts community as well.
She hopes that the hands-on
approach she plans to make
will help students accomplish that goal. Eventually
she would like these degree
programs to develop enough
in order to lead the way to
a Masters program in the
various disciplines offered.

is onscreen he completely
absorbs you with the sheer
power of his talent. A lso,
James Gandolfini delivers
his last performance with
such charisma that you're
whisked back to the glory
days of Tony Soprano and
left in awe of how talented he
was. A fine job to g o out on.
The Drop also does a good
job at handling its tone. A s
per Lehane tradition, it's got
a very dark, downbeat story,
and you feel the sense of
foreboding dread throughout. You know from the first
scene that this side of Brooklyn is not a nice place, and the
movie sticks to its guns and
makes itself a dark descent
into Bob's personal Hell.
But there're also some nice
touches of dark humor, usually supplied by the remarkably deadpan Gandolfini.
But even with all these good
things, it seems Lehane and
director Michael R. Roskam
forgot to add good storytelling. This is a movie where
the basic story could've been
a strong one, but the way it
was told didn't work. A lot of
this comes down to pacing;
it was slower than it needed
to be, with long stretches of
the movie leaving me waiting for something to happen.
The movie also has some
skewed priorities, focusing
too much on the more mundane aspects o f the story,
leaving the plot very sluggish and meandering. I'm
not joking when I say that
in this crime drama about
dirty money, there's probably just as much emphasis
on Bob's paranoia about his
new dog being taken away.
I desperately wanted to like
The Drop, and there were
definitely some good qualities, especially the performances by the two lead but
poor storytelling and arthritic
pacing bogged them down.
It's definitely my least favorite Dennis Lehane adaptation to date, and I believe
he should stick to writing
books. Still, Tom Hardy's
such a good actor that he
makes the film bearable.

The final countdown
begins
By Zach Schanzenbach
Senior Staff Writer
Super Smash Bros, is
fast approaching its Nintendo 3DS release date in
North America. Japan released the game on Sept.
13, 20 days before its
scheduled release date here.
Rewind to E3 2014 back
in June and the hype is still
real, though not as imminent. Following the April 8
Nintendo Direct, only one
character was confirmed to
be returning: Ike of Fire Emblem who appeared in Super
Smash Bros. Brawl. During
the Nintendo Digital Event
on June 10, director Masahiro Sakurai gave fans a short
trailer showcasing the various game modes available,
alongside two brand new
fighter options: the much-anticipated Mii Fighter, allowing you to play as your Mii
in the game, and Palutena
from the Kid Icarus games
(particularly
Uprising).
Later that evening, after a
smashing tournament showcasing the Wii U version of
the game, Sakurai congregated with a number of Smash
fans at a round table and unveiled other aspects of the
game, including a brand new
fighter option that was argu-
ably one of the overall top
ten hopefuls for the game:
Pac-Man. In a historic match
where the four gaming legends Mario, Mega Man, Sonic and Pac-Man faced o ff, the
newest addition to the roster
took the cake...then again,
that's probably because he
was controlled by Sakurai.
Following the E3 hype, on
July 14, a new trailer (my personal favorite) was streamed
showcasing two newcomers:
Lucina and Robin of Fire
Emblem. Of course, while
Sakurai was giving us some
new fighters to look forward to controlling, he decided to show us his moves
and include confirmation of
arguably the most popular
character in the franchise's
history: F-Zero's Captain

Cal State San Marcos receives
largest donation ever

STACY SPEAKS
University president looks back at 1994
1 think the campus recognized
hat diversity
means there are a
lot of voices, and
that there's dignity
and integrity in a
lot of voices.'
Dr. Bill Stacy,
Cal State San Marcos
president
By Roman S. Koenig
A s t he year draws to a close, Cal S tate San Marcos
MJk h as begun to reflect on t he successes of 1994 as i t
m \ looks to t he f uture when f reshmen and sophomores join t he campus community in fall 1995. Dr. Bill
Stacy, university president, offered his t houghts on t he
accomplishments of 1994 Monday.
"The tremendous generosity of Mrs. (Ella) Thedinga
h as got to be a highlight," Stacy noted f irst. Thedinga, a
Rancho Bernardo resident, donated $500,000 t o CSUSM
for a scholarship f und. "The money itself is enormous and
wonderful, b ut t here is a symbolism t here t hat is so
r eassuring to me."
Thedinga serves as a symbol, according t o Stacy, for
those people in t he general community who have gone
f rom knowing n othing about t he university t o gaining
knowledge about t he i nstitution a nd i ts purpose t hrough
interaction with s tudents, faculty and staff.
"Most importantly, she met a connection in t he president of t he Associated S tudents. Michelle Sadova was a
very gracious host to h er," Stacy continued. "Out of t hat
association, t hen, Mrs. Thedinga h as p ut together t his
$500,000 scholarship endowment. So t hat's a highlight for
me, and as I say I d on't denigrate for one moment t he
enormous size of t hat money, b ut mostly i t's t he metaphor" t hat is i mportant.
Another of Thedinga's contacts on campus was Susan
Mendes of S tudent H ealth Services, Stacy added. T he
campus's S tudent Health Center h as since been renamed
in Thedinga's honor.
Another highlight for Stacy was t he increased enrollment experienced a t CSUSM t his semester. T he s tudent
population now s tands a t approximately 3,000, according
t o Stacy. A t hird highlight for CSUSM's president was a
day of r ecruiting young people f rom a rea high schools and
j unior highs in October.
"I t hink it was a day of saying to a lot of young people in
N orth County t hat 'You really can t hink about college.' If
not here, t hen Palomar (Community College) or MiraCosta
(Community College) or San Diego S tate," explained Stacy.
The president credited t he university's AVID program and
o ther campus services for making t he day successful.
"To see t hat (Founders') plaza j ust jammed full of high
school and middle school young people was a thrill to me,"
he added. "I t hink they felt (the university's) welcome
m at."
On t he academic side, Stacy noted t he additions of over
20 new faculty and staff members to CSUSM, including t he
h iring of Dr. Newton Margulies a s t he dean of t he College
of Business Administration and Dr. Fraricine Martinez as
dean of s tudents.
The creation of a general education package was another major accomplishment for t he university, h e said.
T hanks to t he work of Dr. Don F unes and Dr. Patricia
Seleski and h er committee, a major component of welcoming f reshmen and sophomores h as been completed, h e
continued.
" That's j ust an enormous, big piece of t he academic
p lanning of t his i nstitution," he said. "I've clearly got t o
say t hat was a main event."The y ear did not go by without i ts controversies and
disappointments, however. Most notable in Stacy's mind
was t he controversy over reported comments by s tate Sen.
William Craven (R-Oceanside) t hat Latinos be required t o
carry identification cards t o prove United S tates citizenship.
" That was a major source of, I t hink, discomfort for t he
folks a t t he campus and a lot of h urt feelings both ways,"
Stacy commented. " It was a reality t hat t he campus had t o
address."
"Another low-light, of course, was t he difficulty (at) t he
campus in t he face of two election results. One was, of
course, t he bond issue loss in J une, and our subsequent
hope t hat i t would get on t he November ballot," Stacy
continued. T he bond did not make November's ballot. "I
would very f rankly say t o you t hat was t he most disappointing t hing of all of t he series of low-lights."
The loss of t hat election has placed CSUSM in a t ight
squeeze, according to Stacy.
"The campus h as a momentum of growth and access,"
h e explained, "and t he new facilities a re so severely needed
for t he integrity of academic programs and plus, simply,
more s eats for more s tudents. So I really h ate t hat. I t h urts
u s r ather badly both in t he kind of t he spirit of moving
forward and i n... how (we) cope with t he absence of those
new buildings."
Temporary buildings a re on t heir way next fall to house
needed space for faculty, which he called t he "Faculty
Village." Already, a number of temporary buildings hold
classes in both performing and fine a rts a t t he east end of
campus across from University Services.
"The other (low-light) was t he focus of a ttention around
(Proposition) 187," Stacy added, "and yet I t hink t here
were some good conversations held on t he campus and I
t hink t he campus recognized t hat diversity means t here
a re a ldt of voices, and t hat t here's dignity and integrity in
a lot of voices."
Despite t he problems posed by t hese low-lights, Stacy
said h e believed t he campus addressed t he issues associated with t hem beautifully with events such as t he September debate on Proposition 187. The measure called for
t he denial of social and medical services to illegal immigrants in California, and passed in t he November election.

will highlight national
competition Dec. 16
Pittinghumans against computers, the fourth annual Loebner
Prize Competition in Artificial Intelligence will attempt to answer t he question "Can computers think?" The competition,
described by t he Wall Street Journal as a "ground breaking
battle" will be held Dec. 16 at Cal State San Marcos.
The program, which will begin at noon, includes a short
lecture by distinguished computer expert Dr. Oliver G. Selfridge,
followed by t he real-time competition from 1 to 4 p.m. The
winner of t he competition will be announced a t 5 p.m. All events
will take place in Academic Hall, room 206.
In t he Loebner contest, judges — all members of the national
media — "converse" with computer terminals, moving from
terminal to terminal. Some of t he terminals are controlled by
computer programs and some by hidden human confederates,
also members of the media. For t he 1994 event, conversation a t
each terminal is restricted to a single topic. After t he judges have
conversed with all t he computers, they rank-order t he terminals
from "least human" to "most human" and then t ry to guess
which terminal is which. Prizes will be awarded this year to both
t he "Most Human Computer" and t he "Most Human Human."
Spectators will be able to view each conversation as it unfolds,
to t ry their hand at a "mystery" terminal, and to complete their
own rating forms.
While this year's conversations will be restricted to certain
topics, next year there will be no topic restrictions. This year t he
author of t he winning software will receive $2,000 and a bronze
medal. When a computer passes an unrestricted test, t he grand
prize of $100,000 will be awarded and t he contest will be discontinued.
The 1994 finalists are considerably stronger t han in previous
years. Most come from t he mainstream Artificial Intelligence
community in t he United States and Europe. Among the contestants are a 14-year-old student from one of this country's top
prep schools and a team of eight programmers from England.
The contest was inspired by t he British mathematician and
computer pioneer Alan Turing. In 1950, Turing stated t hat when
a computer cannot be distinguished from a person, in conversation using computer terminals, t he computer could be said to be
"thinking" or intelligent.
The competition is named a fter Dr. Hugh G. Loebner of New
York City who funded the $100,000 challenge award.
Cal State San Marcos received

Ella J . Thedinga of Rancho
Bernardo pledged $500,000 t o
f und an endowed scholarship a t
CSUSM. Thedinga presented t he
university with a $200,000 check,
the first installment oft he endowment.
The endowment will provide
five $2,000 scholarships in 1995
when CSUSM admits i ts f irst
freshman class. Having been associated with education for more
t han f our decades, T hedinga
wished t he "Ella J . Thedinga
Scholarship Endowment" to be

Thedinga and her late husband,
Dr. Ernest O. (Ted) Thedinga,

t he years.
"Mrs. Thedinga cares deeply
for students," said Dr. Bill Stacy,
CSUSM president. "As a teacher,
as a mentor, as a friend, she has

s tudents a nd s tudent services
throughout her professional career. I t is because of t his love for
students she established t his f und

"As a new university, CSUSM
does not have the large endowments of older institutions. This

Students can trade food for fines
The university library will be accepting food in lieu of book
fines from Dec. 5 to Dec. 23. The idea is to recover library
materials and help the less fortunate. Students are encouraged
not to miss this opportunity to wipe out their debts and do a good
deed a t the same time. No matter how high the fine, nonperishable food donations wil cover the debts during this time
period. However, this food drive does not include charges for lost
items. Food donations will be given to CSUSM Circle K to assist
them in their annual holiday food drive.
Financial aid workshops offered
Cal State San Marcos is holding financial aid workshops for
students who are entering the university in fall 1995.
The workshops will offer general financial aid information
and guidance on completing a financial aid application form.
Applicants may choose from workshops on J an. 7, 9:30 to 11:30
a.m. in ACD 102 or, J an. 23, 7 to 9 p.m. in the same location.
These free workshops are sponsored by CSUSM's Financial
Aid Office. No preregistration is required. Call 752-4850 for
additional information.
$25K grant awarded to Enrollment
Cal State San Marcos has received a $25,000 allocation from
t he CSU Chancellor's Office to assist in providing early notification to prospective students about admission and financial aid
eligibility.
P art of a $4 million fund established by t he CSU Board of
Trustees, CSUSM received t he maximum amount available for
this project. The funds will be used jointly by the offices of
Enrollment Services and Financial Aid to purchase a laptop
computer and software to take to local high schools and community colleges to enter application data and assess eligibility on
site. A temporary position will also be funded to provide this
service. Although the allocation is for one year, the purchase of
t he equipment and software will make it possible to provide this
service in t he future.
New program seeks volunteers
Do you have extra time on your hands? Do you want new
challenges? Cal State San Marcos is initiating a program to bring
volunteers onto the campus to provide services and expertise
throughout t he university's offices and classrooms.
Spearheaded by retired accounting professional Julie Heard,
the program seeks to match the expertise of community volunteers with campus needs in what is intended to be a mutually
beneficial experience. Volunteers will assist the university in
carrying out its educational objectives while simultaneously
benefitting from the many enriching experiences of the campus
environment.
The first volunteer positions to be recruited by Heard include:
reader/researcher to assist students with visual or auditory
impairments; test proctor to assist students with writing impairments in completing exams and to monitor exams; general office
assistant to work in student affirmative action; fiscal/accounting
assistant for the fiscal operations department; career resource
librarian in the career center to assist student in job searches
using library materials.
"There are a lot of talented people in our local community —
people who want to contribute their talents to someone who will
appreciate their efforts," noted Heard, a former manager for the
Internal Revenue Service who also coordinated approximately
1,000 volunteers for t he AARP's income tax assistance program
for the elderly.
For more information about the program and other volunteer
openings, call Heard or J ane Lynch, University Development, at

Spanish book center
has world-wide appeal
Reading is generally acknowledged to be the most powerful
educational tool to develop literacy. However, the fastest growing segment of the population,
Latinos, have only limited access
to books in their primary language.
Working on ways to remedy the
problem, California State University, San Marcos is home to the
only center in the world t hat focuses on books in Spanish for
young readers.
Cal State San Marcos's Center
for the Study of Books in Spanish
for Children and Adolescents,
headed by Dr. Isabel Schon, collects and evaluates books in Spanish and books in English about
Latinos from around the world.
The center is unique in its global
approach. While some Spanishspeaking countries have libraries
th&t focus on literature of their
own country, only Schon's center
includes works in Spanish for
young readers worldwide.
The center annually sponsors
a conference on Books in Spanish
for Young Readers. Held Nov. 19
at the San Diego Convention Center, this year the 4th annual conference, drew-more t han 1500
teachers, librarians and others
from across the United States,
Mexico, South America and Spain.
In addition, approximately 200
publishers and educational organizations, interested in tapping
into this new and emerging market, exhibited their publications
and programs.
The two keynote speakers at
the conference were Dr. David
William Foster and Jose Emilio
Pacheco. Foster is t he Regents'
Professor of Spanish at Arizona
State University, where he directs
the Graduate Program in Spanish
and is chair of the editorial committee of the Center for Latin
American Studies. A well-known
author and scholar, Foster has

numerous publications, literary
translations and awards. He also
served as a Fulbright scholar in
Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay,
and as an Inter-American Development Bank Professor in Chile.
Dr. Foster's presentation focused on the importance of context and cultural characteristics
in translations. He discussed the
process of communicating and the
importance of cultural context in
accurate translations, especially
when dealing with literature for
young readers.
Jose Emilio Pacheco has been
a key literary figure in Mexico for
more than 30 years. A renown
poet, he is also respected for his
translations and adaptations of
dramatic works. He has won

view is part of what CSUSM is
about, Stacy noted.
"I think there's a sense t hat as
we commit ourselves around here
to achieving excellence through
diversity, we want to keep a respectful dialogue on our table and
I think we just must not shrink
one tiny bit from our mission of
achieving excellence through diversity," he concluded.
"Indeed, I think we're going to
have to be smarter about it and
rtiore ruggedly determined to
achieve excellence through diversity. There is a crassness, maybe a
potential bitterness t hat is about,
and we'll have to be very smart to
keep on the table the legitimate
ends of celebrating diversity, empowering it, achieving excellence
(and) making sure we're better as
a university."
Pacheco discussed the importance of reading. He exhorted t he
participants to do everything they
can to help others enjoy the simple
a rt of reading. He explained how
readers, by engaging the imagination, can travel anywhere in t he
world, within any time frame, and
meet anyone they wish.
Conference attendees also had
the opportunity to interact with
the two keynote speakers as well
as more t han 35 other authors of
books in Spanish for young readers. In "Meet the Author" sessions, participants talked with
authors and illustrators from the
United States, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, Honduras and Argentina.
Proceedings for this conference

�Remember culture when interviewing
You have heard it time and again: a
successful interview begins with a firm
handshake, good eye contact and a professional, confident demeanor. But for many
job h unters, these behaviors contradict
one's traditional values and beliefs. Cultural influences often have significant effect on our ability to "break in" to professional fields.
Many of us who have been raised outside
of the dominant culture in American society have has to overcome some problems in
this a rea. For example, as an Asian woman

computer databases and show you which
ones would be most suitable for your topic
and how to get t he best results from your
search. Especially important with the computer databases is learning how to narrow
your topic by combining subject words to
retrieve t he most relevant articles.
The process of learning to use the library is a gradual one, s tarting with learning to use t he on-line library catalog which
lists all of t he resources available here and
building u p to general and then specialized
reference sources and databases. Learning
t he resources as you need them for a particular project will help you to better retain
t he information you learn about searching
t he library and provide you with a base on
which to build. As time goes by t hat base
will grow and you will become a confident
library user.
We encourage students to make as many
appointments with us as they need in order
to become familiar with t he resources available in t he various subjects and to feel
comfortable with t he research process.

Organization pulls weight with trustees
The California State Student Association (CSSA) has had an incredible semester.
We played a vital role in convincing t he
California State University Board of Trustees to go to t he State of California (instead
of to t he students) for t he proposed 10
percent fee increase for t he 1995-96 academic year. Our priorities for t he rest of t he
academic year include t he CSU Budget, t he
CSU Master Plan, student fees and financial aid, student services and educational
l/as
equity, and alternative funding sources for
our organization.
If you are interested in issues surrounding t he student perspective in CSU systemwide policies and decisions, I would encourage you to get involved. We have a committee t hat discusses these issues. It is called
t he CSSA committee and you can get information about it in the Associated Students
office (Commons 205). Have a wonderful
holiday break.

Peer Advisors are here to help students
Well, here it is — t he end of t he fall
semester. We bet you a re wondering what
is happening with the Peer Advisors (NOT).
I t h as been a great semester and we have
learned a lot helping students with t heir
questions and concerns. But, some students still do not know who we are and
what we do.
The Peer Advisors are a group of students who are trained to understand most
of t he questions t hat come up surrounding
t he majors within t he College of Arts and
Sciences. We can help you plan out your
schedule, choose a special field, see what
class from a local community college will fit
into your needed classes and find a faculty
member. We are located on t he sixth floor
of Craven Hall outside t he offices of Lora
Coad, Andres Favela and Leslie Zomalt.
Before you go on to t he next article,
t here are a couple of important dates coming up. December 9 is t he deadline for
spring 1995"early registration. J an. 10,
1995 is schedule adjustment day for continuing students, and J an. 23 begins t he
late registration and schedule adjustment
for all students. We hope you have had a
great semester and please come up and see
us sometime.

�Do we really follow 'Mission V
Shame on us! While we've been busy
patting ourselves on the back, wallowing in
the glow of the virtuosity of our liberal
enlightenment, we have failed to realize we
may be just a horde of self-righteous hypocrites, much like those t hat we profess to
deplore! Convictions require consistency.
No one has to "walk-the-walk" as well as
"talk-the-talk" 24 hours a day — or he is
living a lie!
We may have unintentionally proven
t hat our Mission Statement is more " fluff'
than "stuff." While we find satisfaction in
its idealistic rhetoric, we may feel application need only be conditional rather than
universal.
The Cal State San Marcos Mission Statement reads,"... [student are encouraged to]
seek to understand human behavior, culture, values, and institutions ... [and will]
focus on ... concerns of race, gender, and
cultural d i v e r s i t y T h e key words are to
understand, not to judge, but judgment of
human behavior, culture, values and institutions appear to be made more often on
this campus than does understanding! This
claim is supported by our attitudes involving classmates and the more visible "Craven Controversy" which has been causing
shockwaves recently on our campus.
How many times have we privately or
publicly dismissed, discounted, or even attacked, statements made by classmates t hat
we are politically or philosophically opposed to? Probably more often than not,
especially if the statements were made by
someone not representing a cultural minority. The point is t hat the opinions of
those who constitute the mainstream (i.e.,
white, middle-class, and/or male) warrant
the same consideration as those coming
from other segments of the social order. If
we do not accept this premise, neither can
we claim to be in support of the university's
Mission Statement. A bigger danger lies in
t hat by ignoring (or even worse, judging)
the issues or concerns of any group, regardless of gender, class or race, we will only
allow ill feelings to fester until simple issues of social concern become major social
problems!
While the initial call to remove any reference of Craven from the campus sounded
'Thanfc
rational, t he same principle mentioned
above applies. If the call to remove his
name and bust had been accepted, at least
- it would have illustrated t hat we are t rue to
our convictions, no matter how faulty they
may be. Unfortunately, t he mere refusal to
attempt to understand what life experiences have led the senator to feel the way he
does was not the end of the story. An additional commentmade on campus by a member of student government has lent support
to my claim t hat we have acted more as
hypocrites t han the "enlightened individuals" t hat t he Mission Statement promises
to t urn us into.
This student's statement seemed to imply t hat the justification for not approving
a resolution calling for t he elimination of
Craven's name from campus was financially motivated. The impression left was
t hat t he university should not send a message t hat we reserve t he right to disagree
with those who are in a position to help us.
This rationale essentially expresses t hat
convictions are conditional, and with aprice
tag attached!
Here is our dilemma: (1) We must stand
consistent behind the convictions expressed
in our Mission Statement and be tolerant of
"all" social groups including t he mainstream; (2) we must be honest with ourselves and reject the total philosophy of t he
Mission Statement if we cannot bring ourselves to listen to the concerns of all segments of society; or (3) we must edit t he
Mission Statement to read t hat "we are
willing to seek to understand only those
whose behavior, culture and values wejudge
as acceptable." The last alternative would
be a moral, travesty. The second, although
steeped in honesty, would be a cop out, but
the first would allow us to once again walk
with our heads held high.

�Survey finds
Americans want to
be healthy
A recent survey by Day-Timers, Inc. found t hat the
majority of working Americans (78 percent) listed
getting more exercise as a personal health goal, 59
percent wanted to eat better and 40 percent indicated
they wanted to reduce stress at work.
According to Dr. Donald Hensrud, a preventive
medicine specialist with the Mayo Clinic, personal
fitness, nutrition and stress management are key to
maintaining a healthy lifestyle. However, the DayTimers survey finds t hat more than one-third ofAmerican workers exercise only once or twice a month or
less, over half (53 percent) eat fast-food at least once a
week and only 15 percent said they have been able to
reduce stress at work.
"With nearly two-thirds of the workforce (62 percent) admitting t hat they constantly feel rushed, things
probably seem to be spinning out of control," noted
Loren Hulber, Day-Timers president. "We encourage
people to take t hat control back in order to live a
healthier lifestyle."
Experts say t hat a combination of writing down goals,
using a reward system and incorporating activities into a
daily schedule is critical to keeping people motivated
toward achieveing healthy-minded goals.
CSUSM to host
prevention forum
Student Health Services will be hosting the Annual
Intercollegiate Drug and Alcohol Prevention Forum on

alcohol problems and prevention for the college population, and will involve over 100 participants from universities and community colleges throughout San Diego
County. Volunteers are needed (CSUSM students and
staff) to help with t he planning process and to serve as
student ambassadors on the day of the event.
To volunteer to be a p art of this exciting event,
contact Susan Mendes, Coordinator, at Student Health
Services, 752-4915.

AIDS now a global
problem
DR. JOEL GRINOLDS
It may have passed you by. It is
no wonder since everyone is so
busy the last few weeks of t he
semester. However, Wednesday,
December 1, 1994, was World
AIDS Day. Yes, AIDS is truly a
global problem. An estimated 17
million persons world-wide have
been infected with HIV since t he
onset of t he pandemic and each
day 6000 additional persons become infected.
In t he United States as of J une
1994, t here have been 401,749
cases ofAIDS reported. The number of people who test positive for
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency
Virus) infection is estimated t o be
1.5 million.
"~
"
I am often asked if we a re seeing many cases of AIDS a t Student Health Services. In t ruth,
the answer is no and likewise, we
don't know what percentage of
college students t est positive for
HIV. In San Diego County t here
have been about 6000 AIDS cases
and an estimated 50,000 people
who are test positive for HIV.
According to a study by t he
Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
and the American College Health
Association t here is an HIV infection r ate of 0.2% or one in 500
college students. Nationally, i t is
estimated t hat between 25,000
and 35,000 college s tudents are
infected with HIV.
Women and children are t he
group t hat is currently rising t he
fastest in terms of percentage of
BE A
cases ofAIDS. This demonstrates
f urther t hat HIV/AIDS is becoming a heterosexual problem; point
college-age students need to pay
attention to. Unfortunately, a t
t he recent World Conference on
HIV/AIDS, t he news related t o
t reatment and a possible vaccine
is not very encouraging.
These statistics present both
good and bad news. The good
news is t hat t he r ate of HIV infection is about what you might see
in t he general population and
lower t han t he rates in high-risk
groups such as homosexual males,
IV d rug users or people attending
STD clinics. The bad news is t hat
i t exists and h as t he potential for
serious spread in t he campus community.
We also know risky behaviors
exist on campuses due to the prevalence ofother STDs and unwanted
pregnancies. This information
underscores t he need to persuade
college students to use condoms,
limit t he number of t heir sexual
p artners and otherwise reduce
t heir risk of becoming infected.
Once again prevention is t he
best medicine. "Prevention ofHIV
infection through education and
interventions to help develop and
maintain safe behaviors t hat will
reduce t he risk of HIV transmissions should be a priority mission
of all institutions of higher education," s tate t he authors of t he
CDC study.
Need I say more!

Hi

American Heart s t a |
Association
If you a re like many women,
you may not be receiving all t he
medical t ests you should. A recent
Roper/Mycelex-7 survey polling
1,038 United States women ages
18 and older found t hat those who
exclusively see a gynecologist versus a general practitioner as a
primary physician receive more
comprehensive annual exams.
While 51 percent of women seeing internists received external
(breast and abdominal) examinations, gynecologists performed
these exams on 70 percent of t heir
patients. Nearly twice as many
women (68 percent versus 37 percent) received internal pelvic exams from gynecologists. Forty-two
percent of women consulting an
internist had a Pap smear, compared to t he 78 percent seeing a n
ob/gyn. To avoid missing important screenings, Ramona I. Slupik,
M.D., Northwestern University
Medical School, advises:
• Tell your doctor u p f ront t hat
he or she is your "one and onlyw or
it may be assumed another physician is giving certain tests.
• I n addition to t he annual gynecological exam, expect checks
of your blood pressure, weight,
urine, cholesterol and pulse.
• Asa safeguard, keep your own
checklist of t ests performed.
• Request a copy of your medical records to personally trackyour
health history.
CO detectors
for the home
Experts now say t hat carbon
monoxide detectors are as important t o home safety as smoke detectors. Consider these facts:
• According t o t he J ournal of
t he American Medical Association
(JAMA), carbon monoxide is t he
No. 1 cause of poisoning death in
t he U.S., responsible for 1,500
deaths and 10,000 illnesses each
year.
• Post Graduate Medicine reports t hat one t hird of all survivors of carbon monoxide poisoning have lasting memoiy deficits
or personality changes.
• Any home with a furnace,
heater, fireplace, or appliance t hat
operates on flammable fuel such
as n atural gas, oil, wood, coal or
kerosene is a potential candidate
for indoor air pollution from improperly vented carbon monoxide.
• Carbon monoxide can be detected. First Alert, for example,
manufactures a b attery operated
carbon monoxide detector t hat
continues to operate even in t he
event of a power outage.
Staying on a diet while
traveling
Can you lose weight while
traveling? F at chance, some
might say, b ut t he t ruth is i t
can actually be easier to e at
healthy while you are traveling t han when you a re a t
home.
When ordering in a restaurant, look for dishes prepared with low-fat cooking
methods such as broiling,
roasting, steaming, or grilling. Skip rich sauces and
dressings, or ask for them on
t he side. And do not be afraid
to ask for fried or f attening
entrees to be prepared differently. Most chefs will honor
your request.
Hotel r estaurants around
t he country a re particularly
answering consumers' demands for great-tasting, yet
low-fat, low-calorie, low-cholesterol menu choices. Omni
Hotels is one example of t his
effort. Executive chefs from
t he hotel chain recently developed new recipes for i ts "Simply Healthy" menu program.
"Simply Healthy" menu items
f eature healthy ingredients,
with a high percentage offruit,
pastas, grains, and legumes.
Fish, lean meats, or poultry
without skin are also highlighted. The "Simply Healthy"
dishes are cooked with low-fat
cookingmethods and use light,
flavorful sauces.
The culinary creativity of
t he Omni chefs has resulted in
appetizers, entrees and desserts such as grilled skinless
d uck b reast w ith r oasted
vidalia onion and cranberry
apple compote; shiitake mushrooms, and goat cheese; and
seared pork tenderloin with
braised Napa cabbage and turmeric-infused potatoes.

Voice of the Turtle held a
private recital for the Spanish civilization class. The
musical group lectured and
performed before the class a
few days before their performance on campus. Judith
Wachs, one of the four musicians gave an historical introduction on each piece.

Jews were expulsed in 1492.
They have, however, succeeded in preserving their

and most importantly, their
language t hroughout t he.

"I thought it would beneficial for the students since
they are currently studying
t he epic, they were intro-
duced to a world t hat was
totally unknown to them, and
t hat still works," stated Professor Martin, who invited the
group to the class.
Their songs, laments and
lullabies from people in exile
are in Judeo-Spanish, which
was the medieval Castillian
Spanish, spoken in Spain five
hundred years ago. Many
people refer to it as Ladino.
P rofessor M artin, who
teaches the class, disagrees
on calling it Ladino. "Ninetynine percent is pure Spanish,
the same language used in

Most of t he s tudents who
speak Spanish had no problem understanding the meaning of the songs. One of the
students added, "It sounded
like Spanish to me."

�Candid view
of Cal State
San Marcos
Students at CSU San Marcos
commented about their professors—"Excellent," "Political,"
"Above average," "One extreme
or another—not much in between," "They were selected
very carefully," "Most of mine
are interested in students understanding t heir subjects,"
"They treat u s with respect,"
and "About a B" according to a
recently published book: DISCOVER THE CSU: A Subjective Guide to the California State
University System.
U sing candid comments of
s tudents t o describe l ife at
CSUSM and t he other CSU
campuses, authors Pat Dever
and Margy Arthur have published an interesting reference
book about t he CSU system.
The authors gathered information for their 208-page book i n
t he spring o f1994 after visiting
each campus at least two times.
The book provides a very positive narration of t he academics, activities and campus life at
all t he CSU campuses.
One goal of t he authors w as
to inform t he public about t he
many advantages available at
t he CSU campuses. Dever said,
"The CSU i s t he largest system
higher education i n t he United
States. CSUs such as CSU San
Marcos (which s et a record i n
quickly becominga fully accredited university) offer u nique
opportunities t o students.
Dr. Barry Munitz, Chancellor of T he CSU s ystem, described DISCOVER THE CSU
as "a well researched, extremely
informative book t hat will be
an invaluable resource guide
for p otential CSU s tudents.
This i s exactly t he kind o f book
that s tudents should consult
before embarking on their college careers."
U sing t he information and
experience gained from visiting colleges, t he authors knew
what information prospective
students wanted t o know before enrolling at a college. The
students mainly ask, "Will I f it
in here? What are t he other
students like? What are t he
housing options? How long will
it take m e t o get a degree? Will
I need a car? How hard is it to
get the classes I want?" The
book covers t hese concerns
and more.
P rospective C SU S an
Marcos students are encouraged to tour the campus before applying. Certainly the
s tudents w ho r ead DISCOVER THE CSU will be
anxious to se CSUSM firsthand. The chapter on CSUSM
concludes w ith "Discover t he

t he future of a major university at California State University, San Marcos.

�Career Day / Grad Fair Highlights
By Amy Glaspey
Staff Writer
Applications, resumes, catalogs, busi
ness cards, and pamphlets changed hands
underneath the white tent at CSUSM’s
Career and Grad/Professional Fair, Thurs
day Sep. 30th at Founder’s Plaza.
One thousand students met with 62 busi
ness and government agencies as well as 25
graduate professional schools to discuss
career choices, goals and job availability.
Representatives from the banking indus
try, retail stores, financial planning, hospi
tality, accounting, social service,
manufacturing,insurance, package delivery,
and government agencies set up booths
from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Companies and
agencies were present to accept resumes,
hand out applications, discuss educational
requirements, conductmock interviews and
answer basic questions about their indus
try.
Calloway Golf, the Carlsbad California
manufacturer of the Big Bertha golf club
which was voted the 14th fastest growing
company by Fortune magazine, is always
hiring. Sheri Wright, Human Resource
Representative for Calloway, looks for ap
plicants who have technical skills. Com
puter literacy and leadership skills as well
as any scheduling and planning experience
are, a plus. Interested students should mail
resumes to Calloway Golf, attention Sheri
Wright, Human Resources.
Smith Barney Shearson, a financial plan
ning firm with offices from San Diego to
New York City, was on hand to introduce
their internship program.
“ An internship gives students tremendous
insight into the opportunities and challenges
of a career in financial services,” said Paul
Firth, Financial Consultant in Smith Barney
Shearson’s Carlsbad office. Interns would
not be paid; however, students could unit
college credits through an independant study
program.
Bank of America returned to the Career
Fair because of the positive community re
sponse and the number of applicants they
received at last year’s job fair. “Last year we
received 40 to 50 applications,” said Joylene
Dusran-Shew, Bank of America Staffing Spe
cialist
The career fair gives students “the perfect
opportunity to hold mini and mock interviews
which help students practice interview skills
without the formality," said Meyer.
The Equitable Life Insurance Agency was
curious about CSUSM upon reading newspa
per stories about the University. James
Reopelle, District Manager for the Equitable
wanted to check out the school and accept
resumes from the “Right Persons" who pos
sess interpersonal skills, high intelligence lev
els, entrepreneurial skills and work ethics.
First year Equitable employees can expect to
earn $36,000. "Players" earn $50,000 their
first year. Equitable employees will attest that
hours are long and the work is hard if you want
to enjoy the financial rewards.
Twenty-five graduate and professional
schools set up booths from 1-3 pm. for the
second half of the Career Fair. CSUSM rep
resentatives from the education, mathemat
ics and psychology departmentsjoined schools
with campuses throughout California to meet
students interested in advanced degrees.
The UC Irvine social ecology department
boasts a 43% increase in applications this
year. The recruited attribute the interest to
current world-wide emphasis on the environ
ment. The current acceptance rate for social
ecology applicants is 1 in 6. Most graduates of
UC Irvine social ecology hold academic ca
reers. Some graduates turn to Urban Plan
ning.
Western State University, College of Law
(WSU) is the “only accredited law school in
the area that offers Spring Admission,” said
Carl Tusinski, Admissions Counselor. Stu
dents can apply up to the start of the term
via WSU’s rolling admissions policy.
The Career Fair is a semi-annual event
at CSUSM "provided funding continues,"
said Sandy Punch. Punch is organizing a
Career and Teacher Education Fair in
February 1994. The Teacher Education
portion is strategically scheduled before
campus interviews.
The February 1994 Career Fair will
target local and national businesses and
agencies. Butdon'texpect to meetAT&T,
ITT and TRW at the fair. Punch has
invited them in the past but they declined.
The reason—CSUSM does not offer de
grees in engineering.

1st Alumni Picnic A Hit
THE UNIVERSITY NEEDS YOU
By Richard Molloy
President, A.S.
Well, actually, the students need you to represent the “student point
o f view.” There are a variety of university committees and it is
encouraged that student representation exists. Committees are
created to develop plans and policy about this university which will
undoubtedly affect students at some point It is, therefore, crucial
for us to have interested students who are willing to speak up when
student issues arise. It is also a great way to meet faculty, staff and
administrators. The following committees have positions available:

President Bill Stacy slams a volley ova-the net Nice form!
By Debbie Duffy
Contributing Writer
The sound of sizzling hamburgers cook
ing on a grill, the fragrance ofpies and cakes,
the mouthwatering cookies, the sound of
laughterand conversation, the sightofpeople
playing games and gathering with Mends,
all came together on August 29,1993.
If you were listening, smelling, and see
ing all these things, you were at the First
CSUSM Alumni Association Picnic, held at
Walnut Grove Park. The Alumni Associa
tion wanted to pull everyone together for an
old-fashioned picnic: alumni, students, fac
ulty, staff, and families were all invited to
enjoy end-of-summer festivities.
Everyone who came had a good rime,
either by meeting with friends, or by playing
volleyball, baseball, and ‘Twister’, or by
cooking and preparing dinner, but especially
by consuming the food. Who could turn
away delicious burgers, hot dogs, salads,
chips, and dessert? No one at the picnic
could or did.
As people arrived, well-known faculty
members manned the grills. Wearing trusty,
well-worn aprons with interesting slogans,
these self-confident men tackled the cook
ing. Dr. Stacy, of course, led the way,
demonstrating his faultless grilling style.
Studiously attentive, Dr. Rocha, Dr. Lilly
and Dr. Zomalt followed Dr. Stacy’s lead.
Needless to say, everything was done to
perfection.
After eating, the children were invited to
play games and win prizes. BritanyCrist,a
LiberalArtsstudent,ran thechildren’sgames,
and every child came running back to his
or her parent, faces smiling,with goodies
grasped in their hands.
Volleyball teams were formed for some
post-dining exercise and fun. “It is, of
course, a strenuous game,” all agreed.
Bestof all, a 100-person Twister’ game
was donated by Milton Bradley. After the
game was taped together, everyone had a
rip-roaring time watching the players try
to remain on their colored circles as the
different body parts attempted to match
differently colored circles while straining
to keep the other body parts on the circles
already called.
Children competed against children,
adults competed against children (not fair-children are naturally more flexible than
adults), and university clubs competed
against each other for a $30 prize. The
children, of course, outlasted the adults
(was there any doubt?). When
the
Circle K. Soccer and SCTA, TEKE and
Economics clubsplayed againsteach other,
rivalry displayed itself immediately. All
the struggling, writhing, twisting, falling,
and stretching, ultimately proved who the
winner would be—the TEKE fraternity!
Due to hard work of Lora Coad and her
committee, Tom Weir and his staff, the
TEKE fraternity, the donations from local
businesses, and the grand effort of the
cooks, the day was a huge success.
By the end of an afternoon of food and
fun, everyone was full, tired, and happy.
They had come together as one, as an
important part of an extraordinary univer
sity named CSU San Marcos.

�The Global Village Celebrates Its 3rd Year
By Claudine Scott
S taff Writer
On Sunday, Oct. 3, CSUSM held its 3rd annual
International Festival. In keeping with the CSUSM
mission statement, the event was a celebration of
cultural diversity represented in our community. The
day was filled with tasty ethnic samplings and lively
sights and sounds.
Several booths lined the upper parking lot. Among
the many countries represented were Africa, South
America, Iran, China and Romania. All had fascinat
ing objects to be admired or purchased. The atmo
sphere was friendly and warm, no hard sell.
Friends of the Library had a popular stand selling
used books, some of them collector items dating back
to 1898. All in all, prices were reasonable for all the
booths’ wares.
Throughout the day, a myriad of performances
could be seen and heard at the main stage: Chinese
Lion Dancers, Chasqui ensemble playing Andean
music, Sankofa’s Afro-Jazz group, including the day’s
featured performers, Los Lobos.
The Children’s Stage also had many activities going
on simultaneously. The children could choose from
workshops in African d rumming, Indian and Spanish
dance, and a Balkan song workshop. Local elemen
tary school 5th and 6th graders provided the artwork
on display with colorful masks created with the help
of CSUSM volunteer visual arts students. This is just
one example of CSUSM’s efforts to reach out into the
community.
There was also a variety of ethnic foods to sample.
Everything from jambalaya, blackened fish and
vegetable bourguignonne to egg rolls and authentic
Mexican dishes.
A day geared towards family fun, everyone en
joyed the celebration of diverse cultures and customs.
Smiles and sunshine were the order of the day.

Student Advisory Council
By Karin Foster
Staff Writer
Business majors confused about require
ments or classes now have a new outlet to
voice their concerns. Formed last spring
semester by business students and fotmer
business Dean Anderson, the Student Advi
sory Council (SAC) for tbe College of Busi
ness is operating and ready to assist business
majors.
Designed last semester to provide open
communication between administration and
students, CSUSM faculty wereaskedto nomi
nate students they felt had the necessary quali
fications to save as student advisors. Last
spring, eight students woe chosen to serve on
the first council.
SAC is a group unique to CSUSM. While
all colleges have two student representatives,
this is tbe first college to have larger group
representation. Council member Bob Mulqeen
noted that a larger group of organized students
can share tasks, reduce the work load, and
facilitate student accessibility.
Tbe goal of the Council is to provide an
outlet for students to voice their concerns,
opinions, and criticism. Although the busi
ness dean’s office has always been open to
students’ concerns, students may feel more
comfortable approaching one of their own
peas.
This semester, SAC has already been busy
fielding questions from students. The fall ‘93
curriculum greeted business majors with many
changes. Units, course numbers and prerequi
sites had been revised leaving many students
confused.
Student representatives working with SAC
arranged an open forum in September with the
new acting business Dean Diehr, and Richard
Millman, Provost and VP of Academic Af
fairs, to review the new business curriculum.
Students attending the forum asked for in
creased information to help them with future
planning. Within a week, students received a
tentative spring schedule which would
allow them to plan next semester’s classes
and anticipate problems.
Further communication from business
studoits is expected. Business majors
should be receiving questionnaires which
will ask for their input regarding upcom
ing classes. In addition to the question
naire, the SAC encourages ongoing stu
dent input. The council welcomes any
concerns signed or anonymous, and will
do their best to investigate each student’s
letter. Studoits can place written con
cerns in one of the council’s mailboxes
locatedintheCollegeofBusiness Admin
istration, or in the Associated Student
Office.

�Recycling Is Easy
By Amy Glaspey
Staff Writer
CSUSM makes it easy for you to
unclutter your life with the most efficient
recycling program around.
Consider dropping the first draft of your
term papa: in the mixed office papa: bin
instead of the bottom of your bacpack.
White office paper and computer pa
per are the most valuable paper to recycle.
It will make it easier for you to find your
important papers, like the first edition of
our nameless student newspaper.
Once you have pored through our first
edition take a minute to drop it in the
newspaper container located in the stair
way of Academic Hall. “Recycling a 36inch-tall stack of newspapers saves the
equivalent of 14% of the average house
hold electric bill,” according to the Recy
cling Committee of CSUSM.
Snapple bottles make a sticky mess
rolling around in the back seat of your car

Recyclingbin. Youcanleavethelabelon,
but please remove the lid.
Once you have had your morning soda
caffeine buzz, please discard your alumi
num can in the Cans and Plastic bin. You
can also add tin, bi-metal cans, metal pie
plates and aluminum foil. Plastic milk
cartons and soda bottles with a number
one or two on the bottom can be recycled
as well.

60 Receive Youth
Service Awards
in Outdoor
Ceremony
CSUSM honored 60 young people,
their parents, and sponsors, at the President's
Youth Service Awards Thursday, April 19
in an outdoor ceremony which took place on
the staircase next to Craven Hall. Youths
were recognized for their volunteer and leadership efforts to make North County a better
place.
The President's Youth Service Awards
were created by the White House Office 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.
The awards, presented by Provost Richard Millman, were in four age categories:
5-8 years, 9-13 years, 14-17 years, and 1822 years. The awards were designed to
recognize voluntary, non-paid, community
service and to recognize hands-on service.
Criteria used—exemplary achievement, ongoing involvement, community need, and
building a service ethic.
The National Awards honor students
who demonstrate meaningful community
service accomplished at a level slightly less
exacting than the President's Award. Recipients receive a sculpted pin which carries
the Great Seal of the United States along
with a handsomely designed certificate that
is signed by President Clinton.

With the Associated Student Elections
for the 1994-95 school year are coming up on
May 2 and 3, the following are statements
made by various candidates running for
office:
Neil A. Rombardo
My name is Neil A. Rombardo. I am
majoring in Economics, and am interested in
serving as A.S. undergraduate representative-at-large. I currently serve on the University Gloval Affairs Committee and the Recreation Committee. I would like to further
serve the students of CSUSM. The most
important issue to the students is strengthening the university's growing reputation. A
strong reputation will increase the university's
enrollment, and place graduates in higher
demand. If elected, I will continue the Associated Student Go vernment's commitment to
excellence.
Brittany Crist
I wish to run for representative of the
College of Arts and Sciences. Because I have
attended CSUSM for two years, I know what
the needs and issues of students are. I am an

I have decided to run for A.S. president
because this office can make a difference in
the quality of student life on campus. Please

reasons: I have past experience in student
government at both the high school and junior college level. As a Political Science

what it takes to succeed in politics. As a

Fourth graders take first
step to college
CSUSM will hold its first "I'm Going to
College" day on April 29. 160 Fourth
graders from Palomar Elementary School
will get a sample of what college life is like
on the CSUSM campus.
By simulating the first day at the university, the program seeks to increase the number of low-income and minority students
going to college. Studies show a need to
begin preparing and encouraging students
at an early age, particularly students whose
parents never attended college. "I'm Going
to College" targets fourth graders and their
parents, to create an awareness of college
opportunities and their potential as future
college students.

Mandatory Health Services
Fee
Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH
Many of you are aware of the major
budget problems the CSU system has been
facing over the past few years. However, you
may not be aware of the major funding problems for Student Health Services within the
CSU system that have occurred in the past
few years. There have been drastic reductions in funding and a few of the larger health
services were very close to having to cease
operations.
The Student Health Advisory Board has
asked that I write an article to discuss the
history of the funding problems and how
other campuses have moved to alleviate the
problem. The vast majority of campuses
have instituted a mandatory Health Services
Fee. This fee should not be confused with the
$3 Health FacilitiesFeealreadyinplace. The
Health Facilities Fee does not contribute to
ongoing operations of the Student Health
Service. This f ee is controlled by the
Chancellor's Office can only be used for
building or renovation of CSU Health Services.
Actually, 17 of the 20 campuses have a
mandatory Health Fee ranging from $20 to
$59 per semester in 1993/94. This fee accounts for 40% to 100% of the funding for
Student Health Services throughout the system. This mandatory fee allows for at least
basic services to be continued at all the campuses and at some it allows for augmented or
special services to be performed at no additional charge. Itisalsoofinteresttonotethat
throughout the country, Health Services Fees
are at a much higher level. A recent survey
revealed an average fee of $84 per semester.
Here at CSUSM we have been fortunate
that even in the face of decreasing budget
throughout the system, the University has
continued to grow. The planners also were
able to anticipate a need for Student Health
Services and provided funding for space,
equipment, and the initial staff to provide
services. The result is, I believe, a very nice
facility appropriately equipped and providing high quality primary care and preventive
health services. Likewise, we continue to
provide and develop campus-wide health
education including a Peer Health Education
program.
At this time, the funding projection for
CSUSM Student Health Services for 1994/
95 will be at the same level as 1993/94. In
order to provide the same level of service as
well as to continue expanding services, a
mandatory Student Health Fee is necessary.
The Student Health Advisory Board has endorsed the concept of this fee, Theywantthe
general student population to be informed.
An open forum on this matter will be held on
Tuesday, May 3rd from 3 PM to 4:30 PM in
ACD305.
Student Health Services has received consistent praise for its programs and services by
students. Student Health Services exists to
provide high quality primary care and preventive services and encourages high level
student involvement in those services. We
encourage you to become familiar with Student Health Services and utilize the services
you are funding. If you have questions address them to the Student Health Advisory
Board or myself, Joel Grinolds, MD, by calling 752-4915.

Most people d on't realize how lucky we
are to live in the age where counting fat
grams corresponds with the explosion of fatfree products available today. Back in my
mother's day being on a diet consisted of
boring and bland foods such as melba toast,
cottage cheese, and celery-YUCK!
I am a connoisseur of fat-free foods that
tantalize the taste buds. I am forever searching for a new exciting product that I can
promote to my friends. Of all the products I
have tried, certain ones stand out above the
rest and I would like to pass this information
on to you. Here is a little backround . . .
A person's diet should consist of about
20-30 grams of fat per day and not any more.
The logic behind watching fat grams is that
gram for gram, fat has more calories than
protein or carbohydrates. A gram of fat is 9
calories while a gram of carbohydrates is just
4 calories. This definitely makes a difference
when you add up the calories. The bottom
line is to consume the equivalent or less than
the calories expended. Since carbohydrates
are lower in calories, they help to keep caloric
count down. The body stores carbohydrates
in the muscles for up to 36 hours so they don't
have to be utilized immediately. Finally,
another fact in favor of carbohydrates is that
it takes 32 steps for the body to turn carbohydrates into fat whereas fat is only three small
steps to the thighs.
One word of caution when you begin the
journey into fat-free heaven—watch out for
consuming too many empty calories. Some
foods are low in fat and high in nutrients
whereas other foods are low in fat and void of
nutrients. These empty-calorie foods make
great alternatives for high-fat snacks and desserts but should not be a part of a daily diet.
So here it goes...My favorite yogurt is
made by Yoplait Light. It is only 90 calories
a serving and is so creamy that you feel guilty.
Some of the betterflavorsare tropical banana
and apricot mango. Yoplait also makes a
crunch light which has fun toppings like
granola.
As far as snacks go, if you haven't tried
Louis' baked tortilla or potato chips you will
be in for a nice surprise. They come in many
flavors like ranch or barbecue. Be careful
because you can't stop at just one. Pretzels
have always been low or fat free and Harry's
sourdough are spectacular!
Often oil-free salad dressings don't do
much to liven up lettuce, but I found two that
do. Bernstein's makes a line of 98 percent fat
free salad dressings that are packed with
pizazz. Try the Parmesan Ranch. S&W
Vintage Light blush wine vinaigrette is light
and tangy and tastes homemade.
For the sweet tooth in all of us, Antenna's
Double Fat Free Fudge Brownies are soooo
delicious! These would cure any chocolate
craving. Snack Well's lowfat cookie assortments are also good. My favorite are the new
double fudge. Don't forget to try Nabisco's
fat free Fig Newton that also comes in fruit
flavors such as cranberry.
It was difficult limiting some of my favorite fat-free products but it is a start. I hope the
items mentioned pave the path to healthier
eating. Afinalword of caution—always look
at the fat and calorie count in regards to
serving size. Often times, manufacturers like
to suggest false claims. The USDA is working on new regulations for labeling so that the
serving size and claims will be realistic and
resemble the truth. ENJOY!!

�So what's a dumpster dive, anyway?
Ivalee Clark
Director Support Services
To promote the awareness of the recycling program,
the Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee, together
with Mashburn Waste and Recycling Services, sponsored a
"Dumpster Dive," more formally known as a waste characterization, on March 10. Even though CSUSM has an
aggressive recycling program in place, the "dive" was held
to see how CSUSM's model university recycling program is
working and to possibly identify additional items which can
be diverted from going to the landfill.
Approximately 50 participants gathered for pizza and
cokes prior to sorting through the trash. The group was
divided into teams of three.. two sorted and one wrote down
items being found in the trash. Containers for recovered
recyclables were available along with trash cans to categorize the actual waste products. When the sorting was
completed, the categorized materials were weighed.
Here is what we found:

OBSERVATIONS
AND RESOLUTIONS
Addition of conveniently located mixed paper containers in the Dome Cafe where students study ; recommend paper
shredders in offices that generate confidential material; consider putting recycling containers in the parking lots; and,
evaluate the use of paper containers in Food Services.
The dumpster dive was a tremendous success, and a lot
of fun as you can see. Waste characterization training was
accomplished in addition to the University receiving excellent exposure in the community.
Together we have. . .and will continue to make a
difference!

Cliche in the Classroom
Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
The Vista Unified School District has garnered nationwide publicity, first for requiring a
discussion of creationism in science classrooms
that teach evolution, and now for supporting the
controversial Sex Respect curriculum. Sex Respect is a program where students in health classes
are taught the Value of abstinence and the dangers
of premarital sex. Slogans such as "Do the right
thing, wait for thering,""Pet your dog, not your
date," and "Control your urging, be a virgin" are
the educational cornerstones of the Sex Respect
policy. Condoms or other forms of birth control
are downplayed as dangerous and not worth discussing.
Deidre Holliday, theringleaderof the group
of three conservative Christians (including Gregy
Tyndall and Joyce Lee) that makes up the majority
of the board, has been viciously attacked in the
local press and a recall effort is underway to
remove all three from the board in a November
vote. The Vista Teachers Union, though reticent
to jump into the fray, recently voted overwhelmingly to support the recall. Signatures are being
collected, and it should soon be clear whether or
not the issue will go before a public vote.
What in the world has happened to the
sleepy, retirement community of Vista? Long
renowned for a fine public school system that
consistently produced high AP pass and college
acceptance rates, the Vista Unified School District
has suddenly become a nationwide symbol of
religious political activism that blurs the separation between church and state. A recall effort will
be costly andrisky,but it is undeniably necessary
to preserve not only the national reputation of the
Vista School District but also the future of Vista's
children.
Holliday was elected in 1990 in what many
have characterized as a "stealth" campaign that
focused on area churches and religious gatherings
and eschewed traditional candidate forums. At the
time of her election, I was a Vista High senior and
Editor of the school paper and had the opportunity
Letters to the Editor
Conroy's Comments on
Illegals Refreshing
Dear Editor:
Thanksforrunning the letter from Assemblyman Mickey Conroy about his bill to
prevent illegal aliens from enrolling in state
universities and colleges. This was a refreshing change in news coming from CSUSM
recently. The problem of illegal aliens is
severe. Some facts:
• According to a recent report by SDSU
professors for State Seantor Bill Craven,
illegals cost county taxpayers a net of $244
million yearly for courts, schools, welfare
and other benefits. Craven is to be commended for issuing this report.
• Illegals are the fastest growing segment
of state and federal prisoners.
• It costs state taxpayers over $600 million to educate illegals each year; Mountain
Empire schools were recently found by the
state auditor to have fraudulently enrolled
hundreds of Mexican nationals.
• Illegals yearly receive over $800million
in fraudulent medical payments, according to
a report from the County MediCal Fraud task
force; yet Americans are turned away.
Our nation must defend its borders, it it is
to remain a sovereign nation.

impression that Mrs. Holliday was not a religious
radical but a passionate, moderate citizen.
I was wrong. The actions of the school
board in the past 4 years indicate beyond a shadow
of a doubt that beneath that gentle facade lurks an
unavowed enemy of public education with no
respect for cultural diversity, the scientific community, the professional judgment of hard-working teachers, or the Constitution. Contrary to
Holliday's stated aim of leaving moral education
up to individual families, the board has engaged in
exactly the kind of cultural arrogance and narrowminded hypocrisy that it should be the aim of any
decent liberal education to abolish.
The logic behind the Sex Respect policy is
even more dangerous. At a time when teen pregnancy and the fatal threat of AIDS make irresponsible attitudes towards sexual activity potentially
deadly, it is preposterous to cloak a discussion
about teenage sexuality in this kind of
simpleminded, cliched moralism. Students need
straight answers and clearheaded advice, not
preaching and condescension. Abstinence should
certainly be presented as the only sure way to
avoid AIDS or pregnancy, but it is morally repugnant to avoid a detailed discussion of methods of
birth control at a time when the propert use of a
condom could very easily mean the difference
between life and death.
This is not to say that Holliday and her hit
squad are not well-intentioned. But the Vista
School Board has unfortunately chosen the tools
of exclusion, religious bigotry and fear. The citizens of Vista should spare no time nor expense at
putting an immediate stop to this illegal, immoral
and unethical political escapade. Nothing less
than the future of our children depends upon it.
else," I question how many people were witness to this occurrence. I also wonder whose
decision it was to print Dr. Seleski's name,
and was there any effort contacting Dr. Seleski
before publication to confirm the story?
Though I do not condone rude behavior
on the part of faculty, staff and students, I
question the adversarial tone of the article.
For example, "Seleski said she knew why it
(Lexis/Nexis) was down, but continued to
complain." This statement is vague and lends
no information to the article other than to
slander Dr. Seleski.
If I, a casual reader, can pick out the
bias in this article, what would the average
San Marcos citizen think of this university. I
hope you take this into consideration when
you publish other critical articles about faculty, staff and students.

lecture. Another time, in a different class, a
student basically told the teacher to get on
with the lecture.
Firstly, these comments are not only
uncalled for, but reflect badly on the student
body. A student who has yet to achieve a
bachelor's degree has a lot of nerve commenting on the performance of a person who
has obtained Ph.D. caliber.
Secondly, these comments create an
embarrassing atmosphere in class. These
teachers have to "suck it up" in the interest of
professionalism, but it obviously hurts their
feelings. Not only that, but the more considerate students feel the need to apologize for
the rude behavior of these people.
We hope hope this letter will make
students think twice about their behavior in
class and give professors the respect they
warrant.

CSUSM will host its second annual
Multicultural Student Leadership Conference, "Leadership: Making It Happen," on Saturday, April 30, on the
CSUSM campus, 8:30 AM to 3 PM.
j
"If we are to have the type of leadership which we need for the 21 st century,
we must begin preparing those leaders
today," notes Dr. Richard Millman, Provost and Vice President for Academic
Affairs at CSUSM. "It is for that reason
we continue to sponsor a conference
which promotes student excellence
through developing leadership skills."
Minority students have nearly closed
the gap with their white counterparts in
earning high school diplomas. However,
college graduation rates have remained
inordinately low for students of color,
according to the American Council on
Education's status report on minorities
in higher education.
The conference will bring together
ISOstudent leaders fromNorth County's
^
under-represented groups to participate in a
series ofmotivational and developmental workshops. The conference is designed to develop
and enhance their leadership skills and to expose the students to minority leaders from the
community.
Maria Velasquez, KFMB (Channel 8) TV
personality, will be this year's keynote speaker,
The Multicultural Student Leadership Conference workshops will be presented by community leaders from various professions addressing such topics as "What Makes aLeader, How
do Leaders Communicate, What Are the Responsibilities of Leadership, and Your Dream
is Possible." Workshop presenters will inelude: Minerva Gonzalez, Director of Financial Aid, Palomar College; and Terry Johnson,
Deputy Mayor, City of Oceanside.
The conference is free and open to all
under-represented high school students. For
registration information, call the Student Affirmative Action Program at 752-4870 or Fax

�"La Perla," a Haunting Tale of Homeland and Family
Ernesto Ravetto, noted San Francisco actor and artistic director
of Theatre Adelante, will give a one-man show, La Perla (The Pearl), at
CSUSM. Set in the plains and cities of Argentina, La Perla is a tale of
memory and yearning that unfolds with seductive energy. At the center
of La Perla is a search for family, a search for history, and a search for
love: searches that reveal not only truths of the heart but also truths
about the land that is Argentina.
La Perla was inspired by the actor's return to his homeland after
a 20-year absence. Ravetto's return to Argentina began as a quest to
learn more about an aunt that he never knew; but while there, he
encountered both the truths of love and the loss that continue to haunt
his own family and the pain of memory and silence that continues to
haunt the politics of contemporary Argentina. From these experiences,
Ravetto and co-author Cheyney Ryan, fashioned a complex and enigmatic tale that speaks to the experience of us all.
La Perla will be performed on Friday, April 22 at 7 PM in ACD
102. Tickets are $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for general admission.
Tickets may be purchased at the University Store, by phone (752-4730),
or at the door one-half hour before the performance (unless it is sold out).
For more information call 752-4945.

TOP JAZZ PIANIST
TO PERFORM AT
CSUSM
As part of the Bank of America Piano Series, one of the nation's top jazz
pianists, Mike Wofford, and his trio will perform at CSUSM on Sunday, May & at
3 p.m. in ACD 102. The trio includes Gunnar Biggs on bass and Duncan Moore on
drums.
Wofford has been a highly respected name in jazz for several decades. He
entered the Los Angeles jazz scene in the late '50s with the legendary Lighthouse
All-Stars, the bands of Shelly Manne, Teddy Edwards, Chet Baker, Zoot Sims, and
many others.
Over the years, Wofford recorded and appeared with many of the, biggest
naihes in jazz. Vie was conductor and accompanist for Sarah Vaughan, and is
probably bestkiiown for his work with Ella Fitzgerald. From 1980 to 1992 he was
musical director and pianist for Fitzgerald and was pianist on her 1991 Grammy
Award-winning CD "All That Jazz."
Traveling throughout the United States as well as Europe, Canada, Japan, and
South America, Wofford has established an international reputation. He has

may be purchased at the University Store, by phone (752-4730), or at the door onehalf hour before the performance (unless it is sold out). For more information call
752-4945.
�Photo Exhibit
Features Jazz
Artists
The CSUSM library will feature a photographic exhibit by M. Lea Rudee from April
22 to June 22. The photographs of local and
visiting jazz musicians were taken during
performances in San Diego.
Mr. Rudee, who served on the San Diego
Jazz Festival's board of directors, took some
of the photos in night clubs, but most were
taken at performances of either the SD Jazz
Festival or the Jazz Society of Lower California. Rudee stated that, "Photography and
jazz have artistic elements in common. Of all
musical forms, jazz places the highest emphasis on instantaneous, intuitive improvisation. The term 'instrument of intuition',
which has been used to describe the camera
could just as well apply to the jazz soloist.
The exhibit is located in the university
library, on the third floor of Craven Hall.
Please join the Library Arts Committee at a
reception for the opening of Rudee's show .
Jazz musicians Gunnar Biggs, John Harris
and Bob Boss will play jazz in the library's
courtyard on Friday, April 22 from 3:15 to
3:45 PM. The reception is from 3-4:30. The
25-photo exhibit celebrates local and visiting
jazz musicians.
The exhibit is free and open to the public
during regular library hours: Mon.-Thur. 8 AM
to 9 PM, Fri. 8AM to 4 PM, and Sat. 10AM to
4PM. For more information, call Marge
Hohenberger 752-4350.

Perform on April 24
As part of the Bank of Americia P iano.
Series, Peter Gach will perform the works of
Bill Bradbury and Karol Szymanowski in a
piano concert on April 24, at 3 PM in ACD
102.
Gach, who currently serves as the chair of
Palomar College's music department/regularly gives premiere performances of works
by contemporary composers, many of which
have been written for him. His Polish background has led him to the music of Chopin, as
well as other Polish composers such as Karol
Szymanowski.
Gach has performed extensively throughout the US, Europe, and Asia. His concerts
were featured on radio and television in Poland, the Philippines, and Hong Kong.
After earning degrees in piano and Slavic
languages, Gach completed his doctorate at
the University of Arizona. During his postgraduate studies, Gach studied at the Warsaw
Conservatory with the internationally renowned Chopin authority, Jan Ekier.
Tickets are $3 for CSUSM students and
$5 for general admission. Tickets may be
purchased at the University Store, by phone
(752-4730), or at the door one-half hour before the performance (unless it is sold out).

While stainless steel tables and a stainless countertop sound kind of cold* there's
a definite coziness and warmth here. Perhaps i t's the soft halogen lighting or the
cozy corner where you can sit back on a
chaise lounge as you browse through some
interesting magazines and newspapers. Or
maybe it's the smiling faces and warmth
of the o wners, Sandra and Edgar
Schuermann.
Along with the traditional coffee drinks
Artista offers some unusual ones. Cafe
Amore—French vanilla ice cream topped
with hot espresso, chocolate syrup, j
whipped cream dusted with amaretto cookies, is one of Sandra's favorites. Artista
also offers a unique variety of sandwiches
made on fresh-baked croissants or foccacia
bread.
What gives Artista a feel of being
"alive?" Its ongoing change in artwork
which is displayed on the walls. Currently
on display are black-and-white photographs
by award-winning Japanese photographer,
Satoru Yoshioka. Artista plans to change
its displays regularly to showcase works
by local and interesting artists.
By day, Artista. caters to a local business crowd. Evenings and weekends bring
out an array of academia, artists and locals.
Artista is located at 427 North
Escondido Boulevard in Escondido, near
the new post office and across the street
from the new California Center for the Arts
complex due to open this fall.
So, for a favorite coffee drink, a tasty
sandwich, a chance to browse through local and international periodicals, or some
friendly conversation with Sandra and
Edgar, Artista is a welcome addition to
North County.

In a recent L.A. Times Book Review, a
friend of the late, great, gutter poet, Charles
Bukowski, recalled the moment he heard of the
writer's death. He was riding in his car when a
Bukowski poem came on the radio. At first, he
was pleasantly surprised to hear his friend's
work, but then he realized that he was listening
to an AM station. Any time such subversive
work invaded AM airwaves, he thought, it
couldn't be a good sign. Bukowski, of course,
was the prototypical literary renegade, far too
obscene and daring for mainstream culture—
until his death, that is.
I had a simitar experience at 12:30 on a
sunny California Friday afternoon. I unexpectedly received the day off from work and was
leisurely driving by the beach with a friend
when I heard the opening chords of Nirvana's
"Rape Me" blaringfroman otherwise tame AM
news station. The "godfather of grunge," as the
Barbie doll newswoman characterized Kurt
Cobain, had been found dead that morning from
a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his Seattle
home. The "Generation X spokesman," Barbie
reported, had struggled with heroin addiction
and severe depression. His cryptic suicide note,
publicly read a few days later by Cobain's wife
and fellow musician, Courtney Love, spoke of
losing excitement for life, of feeling guilty for
"faking it." Quoting Neil Young, Cobain wrote,
"It's better to burn out than to fade away."
Kurt Cobain was not a spokesman for my
generation, and the media's unrelenting need to
characterize him as such was intellectually lazy
and artistically unfair. He was a confused,
depressed, probably mentally ill, but enormously
talented sognwriter who felt immense uneasiness and frustration about the fame unleashed
upon his Seattle garage band after "Smells Like
Teen Spirit" suddenly became some kind of
generational anthem.
It was always obvious that music served as
an intense and genuine form of aesthetic therapy
for the "troubled" poet. Nirvana's themes were
alienation, self-loathing, and displacement—
the thematic territory of every angry punk band
OuAurt
StudentS
fromthe Sex Pistols to Pearl Jam, But what set
Nirvana apart from the beginning was Cobain's
haunting, personal songwriting and the gentle,
fragile melodies that inevitably descended into a
haze of feedback and sonic confusion. And it
was that quality, an artistic marriage of longing
and angry resentment, innocence and powerlessness, personal guilt and social frustration, that
gave songs like "All Apologies," "Lithium,"
"Polly," "Rape Me," and "Heart Shaped Box"
their direct, intense power.
In that sense, Cobain did speak to lonely,
confused depressives like Bob Dylan, John
Lennon, Neil Young and Lou Reed did before
him. But it is the American public's incessant
need to valorize these artists, to turn them into
heroes and godfathers of movements that destroys their musical identity.
Musicians are not leaders, not politicians or
activists; especially someone as uncomfortable
with adulation as Cobain. Nirvana had no answers to our generational dilemma nor professed
prescriptions for m an's existential plight.
Cobain's suicide is proof of that. Just because a
song can provide a few minutes of solace, just
because artcan be made vital and immediate, doe
not make an artist a hero. Hero worship is
dangerous, not least of all, for the hero.
Bob Dylan wrote "It Ain'tMe Babe,"abitter,
biting renunciation of generational leadership, at
the height of his career. John Lennon eschewed
God and all other forms of idolatry ("I just
believe in me") at a time when the Beatles had
nearly surpassed Jesus Christ in popularity.
Cobain made Nirvana9s second major label album, In Utero, far less accessible and radiofriendly than itsfirst("Teenage angst has served
me well/Now I'm bored and old"), but it sold
millions of copies anyway. Cobain lost to milions
of flannel-clad followers what was perhaps his
last refuge against emotional abyss—his music.
He was no hero. He was a poet, and that is the
fact that will remain long after the feeding frenzy
of cheap speculation about the details of his
personal life is over. I, for one, will continue to
celebrate that fact.

�Are We Evolving Ourselves
Into Extinction?
Yvonne Gillis
Contributing Writer
Most of us are familiar with Charles
Darwin and his theory of evolution. Probably fewer of us are aware of the fact that
he discovered over 200 new species in
one month on his trip to the Galapagos
Islands. And even fewer of us are aware
that today, less than 150 years later, biologists estimate that during 1993 at least
4,000 and as many as 36,000 species
became extinct.
While Darwin found himself extremely excited over discovering species
and documenting their descriptions and
habitats, scientists today do not find equal
joy in documenting the rapid eradication
of many of the world's plants and organisms necessary for us to sustain life.
Necessary to sustain life? Yes! Seventy percent of the 3,000 plants identified by the National Cancer Institute as
sources of cancer-fighting chemicals
come from tropical forests. Recently, the
Institute found that the extract from a
vine located in the rain forests in
Cameroon inhibits the replication of the
AIDS virus.
While you read this article, another
type of plant species that could cure a
AfiWRTISIlSte
type of cancer or AIDS may be wiped out
forever. Environmentalists consider the loss
of tropical rain forests to be the world's most
serious problem. These forests are homes to
at least 50 percent of the earth's total species.
Take for example the rosy Periwinkle.
This flowering plant of the threatened tropical forests of Madagascar has two extracts
used successfully to treat victims of lymphocytic leukemia and Hodgkin's disease. The
active ingredients for 25 percent of our medicinal drugs are extracted from ants, most of
which grow in the rain forests. Once the
active compound is identified and isolated, it
can be synthesized by chemists for our use.
But the plant has to still be with us to
identify the active ingredient. From the bark
of the Yew tree, a rare Pacific tree, chemists
extract the all-important substance called taxol
which is used in ovarian and breast cancer
treatment. Some environmental groups worried that logging and illegal bark stripping
were threatening the Yew supply and hurting
the legitimate harvesting of bark for taxol.
Luckily though, by studying the taxol components, chemists have recently been able to
produce a synthetic compound for commercial use.
Darwin's Origins of Species (1959)
advanced the case for evolution. Living
creatures had evolved over millennia according to a principle described by one of
his supporters as "the survival of the
fittest." Darwin explained how non-random processes put the forces of the environment upon species to create natural
selection.
For example, if white rabbits and
brown rabbits were living in snow country, the white rabbits, because of their
ability to blend into the environment, will
tend to escape their predators more readily
than the brown rabbits. Conversely,
brown rabbits blend into the desert setting easier than white rabbit. As a consequence, white rabbits thrive in snow country while the brown ones proliferate in the
desert.
So who looms to be the biggest predator of all? The present crisis of the rapid
extinction of numerous plants and organisms is the first to be caused by a single
species—our own. What would Darwin
have though of this new development in
the evolution of the species?

CSEA Chapter 321
kicks off membership
campaign
Believe it or not, the members of Chapter
321 continue to increase and gain strength,
and it is in part due to your continued financial support. All of us would like to take this
opportunity to express our gratitude, and update you on what* s happening in CSEA Chapter 321.
Many of you may or may not be aware of
the California State University Division of _
CSEA's Six Month Membership Campaign.
CSEA is mounting a campaign to recruit 200
members by June 1994 and 400 members by
December. As of April 4, 1994, your local
Chapter 321 has increased its membership
from 29 to 38. Clearly CSUSM's Chapter
321 is making this membership campaign a
success, and you are part of this accomplishment.
This year's membership chair at CSUSM
is Dora Knoblock. Dora, along with Cate
Boyce, Rosemary Henk, and Pamela Bell
will lead the membership campaign. There
are many ideas being discussed and will soon
be implemented. We will keep you posted.
If you know of anyone that would like to
be a CSEA member, please call any one of the
membership committee members and they
welcome the opportunity to spend a few minutes discussing how to "sign-up" and become
a CSEA member.

The Dome. Is it a dining room? Is it a
study lounge? Is it a student center? Is it a
dance hall? Is it a lecture area? To find the
answer I took a drive along the frontage road
of Freeway 78 to the pink and green stucco
building which is the home of The Foundation.
There I found Marty Grey, who handles
requests for use of the Dome. When considering these requests, Grey tries to coordinate
a "unified effort" to help different organizations hold successful special events on campus.
"The Dome was designed as a dining hall/
study area," Grey said. "We are trying to
make it used for many things that it was not
designed for." The ever-present echo makes
the Dome an undesirable lecture site. The
inflexible lighting system (the lights cannot
be dimmed) makes it an inadequate dance
hall.
The question remains—if the Dome was
not designed to accommodate student events,
where did he planners expect the students to
hold their functions? Outdoors? Off campus?
Grey suggested that maybe "the planners
didn't think we would be so social." Meanwhile, the Foundation is trying to come up
with creative ways to use the campus facilities. Recently, Grey received a request for
the use of the Dome as the site of a dance party
in February. She's trying to find an alternative location, possibly outdoors.
If you are considering hosting an event in
the Dome, here are a few things to remember.

CSUSM Makes A Big Impact on
Saving the Environment
Our recycling program started
in August and during the first two
months alone, we diverted 31,300
lbs. of material. That's an
excellent start for our new
program.
If we take a close look at what
this effort means to our environment, it becomes even more
impressive. We have been busy
recycling several varieties of
paper including newspaper,
cardboard and mix paper. The
more than 14 tons of recycled
paper means that CSUSM has
saved 294 trees, 3,920 gallons of
oil and 98,000 gallons of water!
The glass bottles that have been
recycled reduces the need for
mining sand, limestone and soda
ash. Making aluminum cans from
recycled aluminum reduces
related air pollution by 95%.
Why recycling just one aluminum
can saves enough energy to
operate a TV for three hours.
Let's keep up the good work..
Take that extra step or two, to put
your recyclables in the right
container. Together we have
made a difference and we can
continue to make a greater one!

service contract with Aztec Shops. Aztec
Shops holds the food-handling insurance.
You may bring in your own caterer by
asking Aztec Shops to subcontract with your
caterer. Just don't try to cater the event
yourself because no home cooked food is
allowed. Only licensed caterers are permitted on campus. These food handling policies help the Foundation achieve its goals of
"creating a coordinated effort" and assuring
"careful food handling."
Your next step is to fill out a "Request
for Space Form." These forms are being
tested right now since the University is still
coming up with a facilities policy. An
interim policy is now in place. Developing
this policy is a lengthy process. "The first
draft was 15 pages, now we've narrowed it
down," Grey said. The Foundation is testing
the Request for Space forms to see if they
flow well before it makes a formal policy to
be adopted by the University.
The goal of the Facilities Use Policy i s to
"identify the areas available for use and see
what uses the areas serve well and to help
determine whether the campus can meet the
needs of the event," Grey said.
Although the goal of the Facilities Use
Policy is sensible, some of us continue to
wonder how student unity can be a priority
at CSUSM when our campus facilities are
not conducive to hosting variety of student
events.
Office of Admissions
and Records Gets a
New Door
An automatic double door that opens
onto the Founders Plaza has been installed
in Craven Hall 5110, the counter area of
Admissions and Records. From now on,
this will be the public entrance to and exit
from our office for everyone. Please direct
visitors, students, etc. to use this door when
coming in to A and R. I ask that all staff
and faculty likewise use the new double
door. The former entrance to Admissions
and Records off the corridor will be kept
locked.
We hope to have a sign hung outside
near the new door identifying our office in
the near future.
�CSUSM Professor wins
Presidential Award
for Excellence in Science and Math Teaching
The White House recently
informed CSUSM professor,
Joseph Keating that he received the Presidential Award
for Excellence in Science and
Mathematics Teaching. Each
year, one math teacher and
one science teacher are selected from each state for this
prestigious award.
Keating said of the award,
"I am honored to have been
chosen as a recipient of the
Presidential Award. When
Congress established the
award, they made a statement
about the importance of science education for all Americans. I believe that science
should be an integral part of
our educational system and
as a f aculty m ember at
CSUSM feel very fortunate
to be given the opportunity to
make the connections between science and the training of teachers of science."
The Presidential Award
acknowledges the important
role teachers play in attracting students into science and
mathematics. The award carries with it a
grant of $7,500 from the National Science
Foundation and an expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. The trip to the capitol in April
1994 includes an award ceremony, a dinner
at the State Department, and several workshops where awardees exchange ideas and
experiences

CSUSM's Writing Requirement is Excessive
USD, SDSU & UCSD have no formal writing requirements
By Karen Foster
Staff Writer
Have you noticed that you've been
spending a lot of quality time with your
computer lately? The end of the semester
is quickly winding down and everyone
seems to be struggling to finish an endless
number of term papers. During this
stressful time, many students view
CSUSM's writing requirement of 2,500
words for each class with a great deal of
hostility.
CSUSM's writing requirement is unique
to our university. A survey of USD,
UCSD and SDSU was made to see if these
universities had any standardized writing
requirement. All of them expressed surprise
that CSUSM has a formal writing requirement, and added that their schools leave
writing requirements up to the individual
professors.
While there is no intent to diminish the
importance of writing, the need for a
formalized writing requirement seems
unnecessary. In an attempt to satisfy this
criteria, most professors assign a final term
paper. Students taking a full load of courses
usually find themselves struggling to
complete four or five term papers all due
at approximately the same time. This
end-of-semester crunch often results in
insufficient time to finish other class
readings and assignments.
While some professors offer creative
ways to satisfy the writing requirement,
others have reacted by assigning enormous amounts of written work. Some 300
level classes require more written work
than 400 level courses. Given the
excessive writing required in each class, it
is impossible to do a good job in every
class. Burnout quickly sets in.
Regardless of the minimum writing
requirement, term papers would probably
still be a requisite for most classes.
However, the pressure of preparing a
research paper for every class could be
relieved. Some professors could create
alternatives to written work that would
enhance different learning skills. For now,
we are left to deal with the writing load.
Keep pounding away at that computer, and
promise your friends and family that you'll
see them after December 18.

�How t o Handle Difficult People
By Mary Szterpakiewicz
Editor-in-Chief
Dr. Laura Schlessinger, licensed psychotherapist and popular talk show host recently spoke at the Hotel Del Coronado.
Her topic—how to handle difficult people.
According to Dr. Laura (as her radio listeners call her), "when dealing with difficult
persons, always remember 99% of the time
the other person is not going to change. No
one likes to* give up control and power.
How do we normally react when someone makes us angry or upset? We hide. We
deny. We wish the upset would go away.
We d on't want to deal with it. We become
miserable. Life is tough enough without
voluntary misery, so we want to protect
ourselves. We d on't want to admit our fears
or our pain. Nothing you do or say is more
powerful than fear—not sex, not love, not
food, not money.
Why does anyone act like a jerk intentionally? Because they are in the self-protection mode. How you perceive it, how you
react to it are important. People are basically different. You can't change their behavior, but you can only change how it feels.
The main point in dealing with difficult
people—stop being the victim. "Don'town
it and you can handle it," says Dr. Laura.
Changing your behavior (how you deal with
the situation) will help you take control.
The five most common types of difficult
people are:
1. The Ranter and Raver. Their anger
makes you feel hurt and scared. You are
convinced you must be letting them down.
The issue is acceptance by a parent. You
need to look at your history. Did your
family show anger? Was anger discouraged
or suppressed? Was there a lot of denial and
avoidance in your family or an explosive
parent? Yourreaction to the ranter andraver—
you become terrified.
If you do nothing, it is perceived as passivity and permission. How to deal with an
angry person? When someone screams, pretend they're under water and say a mantra.
Tune out. The anger is about them, not you.
Use humor. Find ways to deflect the anger—
picture the screamer sitting on a toilet. This
helps to put you in an objective place. What
can you say to an angry person? "Stop, I
don't appreciate being talked to like this."
Keep saying it over and over again. It helps
to keep your integrity in place. Or use naivete—"Excuse me, I 'm having a hard time
understanding what you're saying, can you
repeat that to me more slowly?" This will
generally take the sting out.
Use reverse psychology.
Tell the person to keep yelling, and say you'll wait till
they calm down. All these
devices help to put you in
control of the situation and
no longer make you the victim.
2. The Manipulator.
These persons don't give.
They are only in the relationship to get what they
want. They lay guilt on
others. They are too scared,
too afraid to change. They
pretend to be caring to get
what they want. They are
afraid to give in return.
The manipulator is very
seductive and a charmer.
You want to believe it. You
know each other 20 minutes and you know i t's 'real.' When a woman
has sex with a man, she thinks it means the
same thing to the man. But she doesn't ask—
it might mean something totally different to
him. We don't ask because we d on't want to
know. You are still hopeful. You feel used
and unhappy. ' There is risk in any relationship," cautions Dr. Laura, "so don't donate it
,too quickly until you see signs of a reciprocal
relationship." You can't buy love, not with
money, sex, or affection. It happens over
time, not in one night.
3. A Flake/Space Cadet. They don't
commit to anything. You end up feeling
angry and used. "Flakes are unreliable and
hard to pin down, so stop trying," reminds Dr.
Laura. These people tend to marry control
freaks. You end up with a relationship where
only one person is paddling the raft on the
river of life. Be less upset by it, because you
can't change it. If you are involved with a
space cadet, you will end up being in control
of the relationship. These people don't try
and are afraid to take risks or try new things.
If you choose to stay in this relationship,
maximize the positives. Even flakes do something well. Get enthused about that, but don't
push. If you push or criticize them, they
withdraw and it reinforces their defenses.
4. Hypercritical/Negative Type. This
type of individual is unhappy and insecure.
They don't want to be wrong so they're on the
alert for anything wrong and are looking for
people to blame. Look at these people with
pity. Use humor. If you're always surrounded by negativity, get a second opinion
to get some objectivity. You can teach the
nitpicker realistic f eedback. Someone
nitpicky or critical is rarely specific. If they
say "This house sucks!" Ask for specifics.
"Which part of the house sucks?" People
won't stop being that way, but in time it will
be tempered. The only way a critical person
can get to you is if you are hypercritical
yourself.
5. Ignorer. This type of person couldn't
care less. They keep doing the same routine,
and you tend to overreact. You feel rejected.
Ten times out of ten, you know why you are
being rejected. Have a heart-to-heart talk
with the ignorer. Tell this person you feel
hurt. We pay a high price for negative feelings.
When dealing with difficult people, look
inside yourself. You are the container for the
pain you experience. How you perceive it
will help you deal with it. Dr. Laura
Schlessinger can be heard Monday-Friday on
KFI-AM 640 from noon till 2 PM.

�VOLUNTEERS DO GOOD
Plaza Nov 8 and 9.
Volunteers Robert Wortmanand
Ann Garman
By Marilyn Ribble
"More people should volunteer.
The world would be a better place,"
said Robert Wortman, president of
the Accounting Club, last week at
the recent Service-Learning Volunteer table in the Plaza. Wortman
has been a volunteer in such diverse
areas as Boy Scouts and Volunteer
Research for the State Board of
Equalization. Wortman is a Business/Accounting major and will participate in the VITA project to assist low income people with tax
forms this spring.
Yvonne McCarty, a Liberal Studies major, found personal satisfaction in her volunteer hours with the
Red Cross, fundraising, as the Art
Club treasurer and says about the
field of volunteering, "I recommend
it to everyone. It is a wonderful
professional and personal growth
experience." In addition, Yvonne
is president of SCTA and the Liberal Studies Ckib vice president.
CSUSM is very committed to
building a service-learning base and
has begun by initiating several
events to call attention to what is a
progressive and new element in
education. Over 100 students
stopped by the table in Founder's
"I truly enjoy volunteering. It
gives me self satisfaction knowing
that you have made someone
smile," said Ann Garman. Garman,
an Accounting major, has an impressive list of volunteering in her
background. Ask her about it sometime, or, in brief, here's a few of
the areas Ann has chosen: Special
Olympics, Best Buddies Club,
President of Circle K at CSUSM,
Christmas Angel Project for kids
this Christmas. And in Ann's f uture she sees herself in Kiwanis
Club and continuing with Circle K
as an advisor.
Richard Molloy, a Psychology
major, also has contributed his time
as a volunteer. Molloy gives his
past experiences as helping with
the Indian Fair in 1992 at CSUSM,
organizing the first Associated Student Endowed Scholarship. Currently Molloy is a volunteer at the
International Festival and an Associated Student Council president.
And what does he see for himself
in the future? Molloy says maybe
the Peace Corps, maybe in the field
of migrant labor.
Service-learning is proud of the
accomplishments of everyone who
took the time to speak with us.
Achievements and the inner growth
attributed to volunteering marks
CSUSM as a campus with a heart.
As we read and reflect on each of
these profiles, a remarkable thing
comes to light, that "it's more rewarding to give than to receive." It
definitely appears that CSUSM has
lots of students who agree with
Robert Wortman's statement that
volunteering is a way to make the
world a better place.

Uaire Langham, Service-Learning Coordinator
�Profile of a CSUSM
Student Volunteer
By Claire K. Langham
Service-Learning Coordinator
"In my new start in life, volunteering
opened the doors to my career path as a
computer trainer and consultant," explained
Linda Amor, a senior in the College of Business Administration. "Volunteering directly
resulted in my current employment and has
provided immeasurable opportunities. The
directions at this point are unlimited for me"
she elaborated. "Absolutely no one makes it
alone in this world. Everyone at some time
needs help. Likewise, everyone has something to offer other people. It is for this
reason," she stated, "that everyone should be
willing to give as well as to receive support."
After living for several years in Hawaii,
Linda returned to San Diego in the fall of
1987 as a newly single parent of three young
children ages 1, 7, and 9. She had minimal
resources, four suitcases, and virtually no
computer experience. Determination and
vision are the "inner resources" that have
been key to Linda's survival and success.
It really all started because of Linda's own
need to improve her skills. She analyzed her
situation and decided that mastering computers would be the key to security and opportunities for herself and her family. Linda's
natural interests are in people, their warmth,
and the creativity found in the visual arts,
music, and writing. She also finds sciences
fascinating. However, computers were her
logical, rational decision for study.
Initially, to implement
her decision to develop
computer skills, Linda arranged to barter for the use
of a computer in exchange
for her services as a personal and business manager for an individual who
was living outside the US.
85% of the year. Naively,
Linda initially thought she
could learn the computer
within two months. She
had not realized the magnitude of her decision, nor
the academic journey that
lay ahead.
Photo/Claire Langham
Linda enrolled in a self-paced ROP (Regional Occupation Program) computer class
in Escondido. She taught herself Word Perfect and other programs. "Actually, I have to
admit to playing stupid in the lab so I would
not be rotated after learning the software
basics." Her goal was to master the entire
computer system. Apparently, Linda had a
hidden talent, but she was also driven. She
worked extremely long hours, 12 to 16 hours
a day at a computer studying or writing manuals. She was so unhappy with the existing
computer manuals, that she began writing
many of her own. Linda's mastery soon
exceeded opportunities through ROP, so she
expanded into other programs and began networking.
Linda encountered many others who were
experiencing the same frustration with lack
of good manuals or instruction. She began
helping others as a volunteer in small groups.
In the process, she discovered really early
that she had a great propensity to help other
people. Thus, as she was learning new skills,
she was teaching them to other people. This
lead to requests for her to give training lectures to a variety of businesses and special
interest groups. Through this exposure, she
was offered her first credentialed teaching
position in a computerized desktop publishing class for the San Diego Community College Adult Education Program. Ironically,
Linda had found an indirect means of expressing her interest in art through practical
computer applications.
Why is Linda a business major? Her decision to return to school was based on the need
to understand the principles of the computer
applications that she was teaching, and the
needs of the businesses being addressed. For
example, she was teaching spreadsheet applications and needed to understand basic accounting principles.
Volunteering continues to be important to
Linda. "I routinely offer my time and services to others. One of the most rewarding
experiences is when people I have helped
come back later and thank me for having
opened a door for them."

— U nknown
Beavis and Butthead—
True Americans
By Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
The United States Congress recently conducted high-profile hearings about the inordinate amount of violence on television.
Present at these hearings were executives
from all the major networks, gallantly confessing their evil ways and promising oodles
more family programming and far less of the
adult- oriented, sexually explicit, violent
shows that have made them all rich. Illinois
Senator Paul Simon, the lead crusader in the
Clean-Up-Television battle, seemed very encouraged at the network promises, presumably convinced that his actions were having
a significant effect on the moral character of
the entertainment industry.
Not long after the hearings, a small child
playing with fire was responsible for the
death of his little sister. The child's mother
blamed the death on overexposure to MTV's
animated Beavis and Butthead, a crass, vulgar series detailing the exploits of two teenage morons who gain great pleasure from,
among other things, setting various animals
on fire. There was a huge public outcry,
complete with veiled threats from various
elected officials, that immediately lead MTV
executives to discontinue the 7 PM showtime.
There is a disturbing trend taking shape
here. Politicians and community activists
hungry for publicity and in search of an easy
target have turned their sights on the entertainment industry. Indeed, it seems as if
every artistic medium has recently come under attack for in some way contributing to the
decline of Western Civilization. Conservative radio mouthpiece Rush Limbaugh has
been accused of-gaspl-bias in his daily political harangues and there has been talk
among elected officials of invoking something called the Fairness Doctrine that would
presumably f orce ideologues such as
Limbaugh to "balance" their tirades by representing different points of view. Rap and
Rock music now come complete with "Parental Advisory" stickers warning of foul
language or depictions of graphic sexuality.
The well-documented prosecution of rap
group Two Live Crew on obscenity charges
is an extreme example of the growing governmental willingness to cater to a vocal
minority of self-styled moralists bent on controlling the content of American art.
That's not to say that there aren't legitimate
crises of morality and values in American
society. Indeed, it takes only an occasional
viewing of not Beavis and Butthead but CNN
to see what a mess much of American society
has become. It is unfortunate, then, that
basically well-intentioned people waste valuable time barking about the actions of fictional characters instead of attempting to solve
the real problems of crime, illiteracy, poverty, drug abuse, AIDS, alcoholism and the
countless other ills that plague our society.
Art is now and always has been a reflection of life; television does not provoke behavior in otherwise innocent viewers who
had never before considered such mischief.
It is the purpose of all art to, in the words of
Shakespeare "hold a mirror up to life." We
have become a society obsessed with shouting at our own reflections, convinced that if
we can somehow change what we see on
television, we will change what we see on our
streets. That is a tragically misguided notion.
In fact, it is often what we see on television or
hear on the radio that opens our eyes to what
is happening on our streets. Art is an incredibly powerful force, and it is the power of art
to outrage, sadden or shock people into action
that serves as one of the strongest arguments
for a free and open society.
Certainly, young impressionable children
should not have open access to material obviously unsuited for juveniles. In that respect,
it was a responsible decision for MTV to
move potentially offensive material to a later
time slot. It is a sad comment on the state of
American parenting in general, however, that
corporate executives and elected officials are
forced to take on the position of a mother or
a father. The breakdown of family values is
a real problem not solved by cheap sermonizing or potshots at Murphy Brown that serve
only to further divide society. It is a problem
that goes far beyond what children are watching on TV, and until everybody realizes that,
little will be accomplished.
It is unfortunate that Beavis, Butthead and
Rush Limbaugh have become the primary
spokesmen for the First Amendmentrightsso
central to the continued functioning of our
republic. But let them raise their collective
voices loudly, triumphantly in defense of
freedom until every last potential censor is
too annoyed and offended to-continue his or
her efforts.

�Tim Hinchliff—
up c lose
By Debra K . Lane
Contributing Writer
There is currently a very special and
enlightening art exhibit on display at the
CSUSM library. Twenty-two "yarn paintings" by artist Tim Hinchliff and a poem with
each piece describing the meaning in that
creation. Each symbol in the paintings has a
specific message or purpose. Mother Earth is
shown in many of them. The symbol of
woman is depicted often as essential to the
life spirit of the earth, sky, and universe.
Tim Hinchliff is a native of San Diego
county . At the age of 14 years, Tim took a trip
to Mexico with his mother, a Cultural Anthropologist, and was introduced to Huichol
yarn art from Nayarit, Mexico.
DL: Even though we live in a high-tech
society that does not include hunting/gathering, do you see a relationship between ancient
beliefs about nature and our modern world?
TH: I see modern society as hunting
and gathering even today. W e are j ust look-
ing for different stuff to survive on. It may not
be corn or buffalo but the hunt for money
through careers etc. will have the same effect.
Eventually, it will be used tooput food on the
table and clothes on our backs.
DL: Can you tell us more about accompanying each piece in the library?
TH: I create sonnets as a love song that
I express f or a greater understanding of the art
presented. "Courting the Earth," the work I
am presenting at CSUSM this month is an
attempt to show others that we areallpart of an
original family indelibly tied with the earth
and its personality. I am a poet, and after a
painting is finished, I write about how I see
that painting and what it means to me.. Because I live with the painting while creating it,
writing about what I have created is a process
that gives me closure, as well as assisting the
public in understanding my work.
DL: How do you see yourself, past,
present, and future?
TH: I have been extremely fortunate to
have had a life that has allowed me to take the
Photo/Debra K. Lane
time to create. Over the last 20 years, I have
been able to grow with my art and obtain an
understanding of the levity of what I am
creating. But I have also been fortunate to
have had the time to hang out in those avocado groves in Fallbrook and play with the
idea of art. I began by drawing, sketching and
writing poetry. I was encouraged by my
family and friends. And I was lucky enough
to have met a woman to share my life. I have
a home, love, children and a career. It really
is incredible luck.
Students create
multicultural quilts
Students in the two sections of
Education 390created two very beautiful multicultural quilts. The quilts
are being used as a class servicelearning project by collecting donations and giving the proceeds to three
local non-profit
organizations.
Proceeds from one class will go
to the Latino Boy Scout Troop 669 to
sponsor a wilderness camping experience focusing on self-esteem and a
science/ecology
component
The other proceeds will be used to
sponsor at least two students' participation in Leadership 2000 and to
assist in the efforts of a local senior
citizen playwright which serves to
eliminate myths and
stereotypes
about aging.
These students are "no nonsense"
when it comes to business and it was
decided that each student would seek
donations for $1 per ticket
Each
class is striving to raise at least $ 1000.
We would appreciate your support
and donations in this endeavor: The
quilts will be on display in Founders
Plaza for the next few days. I appreciate your support for the students
efforts and wish all participants
the
best of luck in the drawings to be held
Dec. 6 and Dec. 8.

�A Perfect World—not so perfect
By Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
Mouie
Reuieiu
Kevin Costner achieved fame by playing
nice guys. Whether performing a little revisionist history by showing the world a softhearted Elliot Ness in The Untouchables or a
politically correct Union soldier in Dances
with Wolves, Costner has repeatedly epitomized the very 90s, very Hollywood aes-
thetic of the Sensitive White Male.
At first look, his new role as an escaped
convict in Clint Eastwood's A Perfect World
seems a bold step away from this cuddly
repertoire. Butch, as tBe Costner character is
called, is a cold-blooded murderer and kidnapper seemingly capable of any violent and
sadistic act. Upon further examination, however, Butch proves in many ways to be a
typical Costner character; a misunderstood,
ultimately kind-hearted product of a dysfunctional family—Robin Hood with a .38
and a pack of Lucky Strikes.
A Perfect World is a mess. A surprising
mess, considering the collective artistic talent assembled, but an ultimate disappointment nonetheless. Directed by Clint
Eastwood and co-starring Eastwood and Laura
Dern, this story of an escaped criminal who
inadvertently kidnaps a young Jehovah's
CSUSM's First Production
Frankly, to be Honest...
By L. Rene Fooks
Contributing Writer
Theatre is alive at CSUSM! Frankly,
to be honest.,, an Evening of Student
Generated Theater was directed by
Marcos Martinez, faculty member of the
Visual and Performing Arts department.
This, the first CSUSM student-based
production, was the resulfcof Theater Arts
499C-Production Workshop. The
production was student-generated theatre.
Just because the word "student" is used,
doesn't necessarily mean the quality is
low. Three performances were given last
month, November 6-8, and if you missed
them, too bad. It was well worth it. The
play was a series of monologues and short
scenes that depicted certain attitudes in
society regarding class, race, and gender
that perhaps some of us were not aware
of; or we have become so de-sensitized by
its occurrences that we ignore it. One
such idea was the monologue of an
overweight female who described how
valuable she was as a human being in
spite of her obesity, and how society has
set unwritten standards on women based
solely on their appearance. That was a
real eye-opener. As a male, I can honestly
say I have changed my pre-judging sexist
attitudes after hearing and seeing this
particular monologue. I even took the
'sorry no fat chicks' bumper sticker off my
car.
Another interesting scene showed a
method in which attitudes and ideas are
shaped. Like father, like son; you' ve heard
the cliche. This scene showed a bitter,
divorced man instilling aggressive,
demeaning ideas about women and their
true function (from his perspective), to his
teenage son, who has developed that same
pleasure-seeking, hateful attitude towards
his girlfriend.
I personally could not find any entertainment value in the profane language used.
They were not kidding when they advertised the program as not suitable for
children. I didn't get the impression that
the profane language was used to "boost
the ratings" but maybe to show us what
we've grown accustomed to in our everyday lives.
The theatre has a way of showing us who
we really are as individuals. If all the
world is a stage as one man wrote, and we
are the players, then the theatre is you as
well. Don't miss the next show!
Witness boy and is pursued across Texas by
a gruff ranger (Eastwood) and a psycho babbling beaurocrat (Dern) starts out fairly strong
but is quickly saddled with an annoying subplot and predictable dialogue and situations.
Costner summons up the proper menace in
the early scenes when breaking out of prison
and kidnapping the child. There is a strange,
unpredictable connection between Butch and
the boy that is balanced with strong tension;
the audience isn't sure where things are going, whether or not the criminal can be trusted
That tension is ruined soon enough, as we
discover that Butch was a product of a broken
home and has never killed anybody who
wasn't trying to harm someone he loved. We
find this out because Dern's character delivers a poorly written speech to a trailerful of
The
Texas rangers emphasizing the importance of
understanding the Why of criminal behavior,
not the What if you really want to catch your
man. It is the worst scene in the movie and
serves to almost single-handedly destroy all
possibilities of creativity or originality left in
the film. The entire Eastwood-Dern subplot,
in fact, serves as nothing more than an annoying distraction.
The film takes place in Texas a week
before President Kennedy was shot, and
Eastwood plays with some interesting symbolism about martyrdom and a loss of innocence. But nothing is fully developed, and by
the time the drawn out, predictable ending
comes, all the potential shown in the f ilm's
opening moments has been squandered. It is
unfortunate that such talent was wasted on
such a mediocre project.

�Sounds ofSANKOFA
SANKOFA is an AKAN name for
the mythical bird that constantly looks
back as it flies forward. The name
means 'Go and retrieve the past', and
to the AKAN people of Ghana, West
Africa, this behavior symbolizes the
need to develop a sense of continuity in
our everyday life by linking our present
and future to the past
The musical style of the group,
SANKOFA, succinctly represents the
concept expressed in the name. From a
socio-historical perspective, this group
traces the development of unique
musical expressions as the slaves
began to transform, adapt to and adopt
the diverse life-styles in which they
found themselves in the diaspora.
SANKOFA represents a unique blend
of the music of South, Central and
North America as well as the music of
the Caribbean as reshaped by the
dynamics of slavery and other forms of
cultural diffusion andacculturative
processes.
In SANKOFA, one could easily
identify the characteristics of Jazz*
Reggae, Funk, Calypso, Salsa, Blues,
Gospel, Spiritual, Traditional and
Contemporary African music, Country
and Western, Samba and the Classical
tradition, all of which are fused together to underscore the homogeneity
of the sources of acculturative processes that have guided the changes
through the years. The ever-present
polyrhythmic and complex melodic
structures, the call-and-response vocal
styles, the functionalism of the music
and all other attributes that have stood
the test of time are the basis of the
SANKOFA style.
This group is a capsule of the
reactions that current socio-political,
and historical transformations
throughout the world are generating.
World music has been melded by
Photos of Sankofa/Carlos
Mariscal
advancements in technology while
exclusiveness of remote cultures has
become a thing of the past.
The members of this amazing
group include a well-selected cadre of
musicians who have been dedicated to
the various representative styles. They
include Jim Storey, guitar; Gunnar
Biggs, bass; Brad Steinwehe, trumpet;
David Murray, trombone; Jason
Hahn, drums and percussion; Roy
Gonzalez, timbales and percussion;
Eyi Omaraji, percussion, vocals and
dance and Komla Amoaku, congas,
percussion and lead vocals. Dr.
Amoaku is also a Professor of
Ethnomusicology at CSUSM. The
ensemble sometimes includes traditional African dancers: Gelsamina
Merritt, Shoshanna Cordes and
Chantale Damas.
CSUSM sees the world increasingly
becoming a global village, and wishes
that this be expressed in its art and
cultural programs. SANKOFA is the
institution's demonstration of its
perception of the 21st century.
SANKOFA will be performing on
Thursday, Dec. 9 at 12 Noon at the
Commons Stage.

By Roy L atas
Staff Writer
A campus writing center usually reflects
aplace where remedial writers work through their
writing problems, but the CSUSM Writing Center provides a friendly environment that serves a
hub for the All University Writing Requirement
Project. The tutor corps of the Writing Center is
a skilled group of students whose foundation in
writing theory and practices comes from English
494 (Theory and Practice of College Writing).
The tutors aim to foster quality academic writing
from the painless perspective of a good friend
who is interested in advancing meaningful analysis. Students at any phase of an assignment are
encouraged to come to the Writing Center.
How do you use the Writing Center?
The tutorial staff of the Center recognizes that
writing is always a messy business—writing never
advances in clean, concise, well-rounded or logical steps. Academic writing involves a process of
false starts, misdirections, confusion, and many
times frustration. The tutor offers another set of
eyes to assist writers while they navigate their
"writerly" course to meaning. The phases of
writing: brain-storming, editing, revision or final
draft inspection are all part of the tutorial s taffs
field of experience.
Who uses the Writing Center? During
the 1992-1993 academic year, the Writing Center
DISPLAY
ADVERTISING
conducted over 1,334 individual writing conferences. The heaviest student populations
came from Liberal Studies, English, and Business Management/Accounting majors, each
accounting for approximately 20% of the
students utilizing the Center. The significant
population of English majors reflects the attitude that even those who may perceive
themselves as being skilled writers recognize
the need for revision and recognize potential
profits of a trip to the Center. The notion that
only students with serious writing problems
avail themselves of this service was dispelled
by discovering that the average GPA of students using the Center was 3.25. This statistic
indicates successful students at CSUSM use
the Center to enhance their writing and produce high caliber papers.
The tutors at the Writing Center
want to assist all students who wish to improve and advance their writing skills. Center tutors are involved in an educational dynamic which provides them an exceptional
teaching experience with other students. The
tutors, by helping others, will in turn improve
their own writing skills.

In front of a classroom packed with
Liberal Studies majors, Sandy Punch,
C SUSM's Career Center Director turned
into a cheerleader Monday night
" Don't apologize for being a Liberal
Arts major. Wear your badge proudly,"
Punch said. "Your career choices are only
limited by your imagination."
In addition to the teaching profession, Liberal Studies majors have endless
career opportunities.
Employers are always seeking applicants with broad-based knowledge obtained by a Liberal Arts degree. Recruiters from Gallo Wine, UPS, Enterprise
Rent-a-Car and Farmers Insurance asked
to speak with all majors during recent
campus interviews.
The following list of majors and j ob
titles of college graduates, including recent CSUSM and San Jose State University grads, shows that majors do not matter:

CSUSMs Recycling
Program a Model for
Other Schools
By Ivalee Clark
Director Support Services
T he University has entered into
a contract with the California Integrated Waste Management Board
to develop and implement a "model
university waste reduction program." With no formal program
previously in place and being a new
campus, the plan of the Solid Waste
Reduction Planning Committee is
to establish a model program right
from the beginning and to make it a
transferable model for other colleges and universities to follow.
An aggressive recycling program
was launched on August 2, 1993.
Targeted are specific materials for
recycling, including mixed o ffice
paper, cardboard, newspaper, glass,
and cans/plastic. For convenience,
special color-coded recycling containers are located in handy locations throughout the University.
Your sorted recyclables are collected weekly and delivered to the
Mashburn Recycling Center. There,
the materials are processed for shipment to companies who reuse our
recyclables in the manufacturing of
new products.
A waste specialist from the California Integrated Waste Management Board in Sacramento spent
two days on campus reviewing our
recycling program. He praised how
much was accomplished in such a
short period of time.
Thanks to everyone for your cooperation in making the e ffort to
recycle and manage waste a success.
THE FIRST TWO MONTHS OF
OUR F ORMAL R ECYCLING
PROGRAM SAVED APPROXIMATELY 27 F ULL G ROWN
TREES . . . OR ROUGHLY 7
TREES FOR EVERY TON O F
MIXED PAPER AND NEWSPAPER.
In a ddition, t he c ontractor,
Mashburn Waste and Recycling
Services has commended CSUSM
on how "clean" the recyclable collections have been. Remember, contamination occurs when inappropriate trash becomes commingled
with recyclable material. Thanks
for asking questions prior to contaminating the recyclables. Answers to some questions:
• Plastic grocery bags and brown
paper bags cannot be recycled.
• Plastic containers from frozen
foods or bookstore food cannot be
recycled. There is no market for
these containers at the present time.
Please separate recyclables from
trash in the classroom. Both trash
and mixed paper containers are located in each classroom. Since food
and beverages are not permitted in
the classroom, appropriate beverage containers are located in the
hallways of the academic buildings.
Participation is very important in
this worthwhile project. Working
together will save natural resources
and reduce the amount of material
going into landfills.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the recycling program, please contact Support Services at Ext. 4520.

�The Good and Bad
News About Measles
NOTICE TO ALL FIRST SEMESTER
STUDENTS
By Joel Grinolds, MD, M.P.H.
At Student Health Services we are often asked, "Why is
there an immunization requirement for Measles?" The
answer is that in the mid 1980s, an epidemic of Measles
began. It peaked at 14,000 cases in the first half of 1990.
But, because of the efforts at all educational levels (including universities) and community programs, the lowest
incidence of Measles cases on record is being experienced
in the United States this year.
Measles may sound like just another childhood disease
but this recent epidemic proves otherwise. In a three year
period (1989 to 1992) Measles led to 132 deaths, 11,000
hospitalizations and medical expenditures of up to 100
million dollars. Also, in 1992, the most recent complete
reporting period, 19% of all Measles cases were in the 20
year-plus-age group. This age group includes most of the
student at this university. A few years ago, 20-30% of the
USC football team came down with Measles and almost
could not play in the Rose Bowl.
The sharp decline in Measles pleases many experts, but
also worries them. Ten years ago, Measles was also on the
decline, but complacency about Measles vaccine requirements seems to have resulted in the most recent epidemic.
Therefore, the Measles vaccine requirement will
becontinue because it makes good public health sense, and
can personally protect you and your good health. If you
have any questions regarding the Measles vaccine, please
call Student Health Services at 752-4915.
Every student born Jan. 1956 or later is
required t o provide proof of measles/
Rubella vaccination prior t o registration
for a second semester.
Student Health Services will be offering
walk-in clinics for the required measles/
Rubella immunizations. The clinic dates

Faculty wants to change program name
B y J an C ooper
Staff Writer
A memo to the academic faculty and advisors from the Liberal Studies faculty announced that they are petitioning to change
the name of Liberal Studies to Integrative
Studies. The memo states that this new name
will better reflect the nature of the program
which, while usually associated with the
Multiple Subject Waiver Program, provides
a variety of interdisciplinary options. A track
structure will allow the university to develop
interdisciplinary tracks in addition to the
waiver tracks. They will share a common
mission statement and core of courses beyond GE requirements. Central to this core
will be issues related to race, class and gender. Service Learning will be an important
part of this program.
The Program Mission Statement states
that "Integrative Studies (IS) is a dynamic,
innovative multi-disciplinary program designed for students seeking a broad liberal
arts education with a global perspective." It
goes on to state, "This curriculum seeks to
breach traditional barriers between the natural and social sciences and the humanities to
achieve an integrated educational experience.
IStudents who graduate from the IS program
will be prepared to enter various fields in the
private and public sector, pursue further professional training or post-graduate education, and in general, be better prepared for the
technological changes underway in t oday's
workplace.
The memo did not explain how this change
will affect current Liberal Studies majors and
did not go into specifies as to how the pro* gram would be changed or enhanced.
This project is still in the planning stages,
with plans to move through the proper approval cycles in the first part of the next
academic year.

Academics, not sports
should be college's focus
By T homas Lee H untington
Staff Writer
Our young university stands at
a very important crossroads in its
development. While certain guiding principles and philosophies have
been established, the shape that
CSUSM will take in the future is
essentially up for grabs. The administration and faculty have already worked hard to earn a reputation for diversity and academic excellence, but it is the student body
that will ultimately shape our university for future generations. With
that in mind, CSU San Marcos
should continue to focus on intellectual and cultural achievement and
not put valuable money and resources into a comprehensive athletic program.
Certainly, athletics is an important part of American life and team
sports offer many rewards to those
students who choose to participate.
But the mission of CSUSM is an
intellectual one. In a state so limited economically that university
fee hikes have caused the cost of
education to skyrocket, the primary
goal of all state universities should
be to improve the educational environment and lessen the economic
burden in any way possible. Football stadiums and coaching staffs
are luxuries that we cannot possibly
afford.
Some would argue that a strong
football team brings revenue to the
school by attracting area supporters
who are more than happy to fork
over a few bucks for the university
in order to see a good gridiron match
up. High profile athletic programs
are often economically beneficial
to the universities that house them,
but getting to that point requires a
great deal of expenditure that simply could be utilized in better ways.
Also, athletic events only attract
supporters if those supporters have
a winning team to root f or; losing
teams also lose money.
Perhaps more important than the
athletic program's* varying economic aspects is the side-stepping
of academic goals. The ultimate
purpose of any university is to foster an intellectual environment conducive in every way possible to
student growth. As is, CSUSM is
filled with dedicated faculty and
hardworking students here because
they want to be a part of that environment. We should dedicate our
time and resources to the pedantic
and aesthetic endeavors that make
university life important and unique.
There are plenty of other places
to find great quarterback keeps and
breathtaking double plays. Let this
university be a haven for intellect
and culture.

Politics as usual
By B arry W alker
Guest Editorial
There is a new club on campus that has
promised to promote discussion of political
issues on campus that affect students, faculty, and the community. The Political Science Association (PSA), in an attempt to
demonstrate its willingness and desire to
discuss important issues, has already met
face to face with the politics of politics.
On Tuesday, Oct. 26, the Student Califor-
nia Teachers Association scheduled a seminar geared against Prop. 174 (the school
voucher initiative). The PSA was interested
in seeing that arguments on both sides of this
very important issue were addressed and available to students on campus, and started looking for someone to present the pro-side argument.
After being guaranteed a speaker, the PSA
went ahead with coordination of the event.
At this point, the speaker, a co-author of Prop.
174, demanded equal time with the audience

people make it out to be.
In newspapers, stories about
how people have been effected by

the destruction those fires caused.
Saturday's edition of The Orange
County Register had the story
"Evacuees treated to hotel party,"
about how local businesses and
community organizations held a
Halloween party at a hotel f or
families that lost homes in Laguna
Beach.
The Times Advocate had on
Friday's front page a teaser at the
t op r eading, " Fire A ftermath:
Families look to the future after
losing their homes." Again, a look
at the ' B' section showed the top
story to be about the triumph of the
human spirit: "Couple finds 'there
is life after the fire."' The story

audience was allegedly an education class
who, it could be argued, would be a captive
audience for one side of apolitical issue at the
expense of the California taxpayer without
giving the opposite side equal time.
Nevertheless, the PSA was offering a time
slot in which the pro voucher side could be
presented. It was scheduled to precede the
seminar opposing the issue. The speaker, not
convinced that he would receive equal time,
withdrew from his commitment to address
this campus at the request of PSA. As a
result, the issue of school vouchers was not

The Other Side of
"Greeks" Story
Dear Editor:
In response to Amy G laspey's "Greeks
get Opposition to Halloween Bash," the
InterClub Council (ICC) has a total budget of $4,500 f or the entire year to support
the activities of about 3 0 clubs. A strong
part of the opposition f rom the ICC was
that in giving a few clubs (the Greeks) the
$1,000 they requested to put on one event,
it would possibly excluded other clubs
from their portion of that money later in
the year. The ICC voted to equally divide
the $4,500 with a reserve f or new clubs or
emergencies.
The other part of the opposition was the
irony created by the clubs having given
full support to "Red R ibbon" week promoting non-alcoholic lifestyles, and then
being asked f or money f or a party with a
cash bar at the end of that same week!
Some of the clubs have a strong sensitivity
to alcohol issues, SALT, American Indian
and others feel that alcohol is not conducive to learning and that the school is not
a place for an alcohol-oriented party. T he
ICC as a body wants no responsibility in
this type of affair but each club i s f ree to
pursue their own a gendas within the
school's guidelines.

Earthly Constellation—-photographs by Linda Connor
By Peter Gorwin
Critic-at-Large
The Museum of Photographic Art (MOPA)
has opened its new exhibition, the work of
two photographers, Linda Connor and Ruth
Thorne-Thomsen. These photographers have
more in common than their gender; they possess a love of subjects ancient and mysterious, and they use their cameras to capture
images of things ephemeral and fleeting. However, the way these women set out to record
such essences differs like night and day. I
found their work so compelling that I decided
to review them separately. In this issue, I will
concentrate on the work of Linda Connor, a
Bay area photographer who teaches at the San
Francisco Art Institute.
In a documentary which runs with her
show, "Earthly Constellation," Linda Connor
states that her images revolve around "honoring the spirit." In these transcendental endeavors, she has chosen the tools and techniques of such traditional landscape photographers as Ansel Adams and John Sexton.
She uses the 8x10 view camera, not usually
the choice f or the woman photographer due to
its heavy and unwieldy nature. With the
correct exposure and developing techniques,
this camera produces an 8x10 inch black &
white negative, capable of producing an image unsurpassed in rich tone and detail. As
with past masters, Connor chooses to contact
print her images, side-stepping the use of an
enlarger. Nonetheless, the naked way her
prints have been placed in 8x10 inch frames,
does them no justice. Mounting and matting
her photographs in a more customary way
would have better exhibited her work.
Technique becomes meaningless if the
artist does not use it to reflect carefully chosen subject matter. Connor, an adventurous
traveler, has chosen areas as diverse as Nepal,
Ireland, Hawaii, Europe, Egypt and the American Southwest in pursuit of "spiritual" subject matter. In seeking the spiritual, her eye
gravitates to classic outdoor landscapes, dimly
lit interiors of temples and tombs, Native
American pictographs, or Celtic stone circles.
She proves to be at her best when she
weaves antithetical elements into her images,
such as those in her photograph, "The Patient
One." In it we see a beam of bright sunlight
striking an artifact inside a darkened East
Indian Temple.
Often, when she cannot identify such natural opposites as dark and light which play
against one another in her composition, her
work takes on a more pedestrian quality,
verging on being simply documentary. At
these times, her images reflect a safe decision
to fall back on her strong technical expertise,
relying on subtle themes and elements rather
than on more dynamic and compelling ones.
Connor captures the spirit best in her spontaneous people images, something usually
attained by photographers who use smaller
format cameras. Cartier-Bresson serves as
the prime example of this. Such photographers usually use wider apertures and faster
shutter speeds in order to catch their subjects
atjust therightmoment. Remarkably, Connor
breaks this rule by using a small aperture,
compensating with the usual longer exposure
time. With these longer exposures, subjects
may blur, but Connor uses this to her advantage often allowing one figure in the image to
blur, shifting the viewer's attention to the
person who has remained sharp and still.
Sandra S. Phillips, curator of photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern
Art, the person who organized Connor's show,
inadvertently perpetuates gender stereotypes
with such statements as, "She (Connor) is one
the few women who have explored landscape
photography, and endowed this form with a
female consciousness." Phillips fails to define what "female consciousness" means, or,
for that matter, how this aspect of C onnor's
psyche has specifically influenced her images. Certainly, we must commend both
women for smashing any glass ceilings which
may exist in the photographic world, but the
quality of C onnor's art eclipses any myths
about gender influences on creation.
In the next issue I will review the surrealistic work of Ruth Thorne-Thomsen, the other
photographer being shown at this dual exhibition. Her show is entitled, "Within this
Garden." I recommend that you get over to
MOPA to see these shows which will be
running until November 14. For information,

Movie Review
By Thomas Lee Huntington
StaffWriter
Robert Altman has long been one of the few American
filmmakers unafraid of artistic experimentation. From his
early social comedies such as Mash and Nashville to the
recent Hollywood satire The Player, Altman has consistently pushed the bounds of cinematic convention, often
delivering keen insight into the human condition. Altman's
best work is in many ways a reflection on the absurdity and
Hopelessness ofmodern life. Thejumpy, nervous camerawork
and disjointed, frantic dialogue capture in a unique way the
various joys and neuroses of his characters.
It is appropriate, then, that Altman would turn to the
writings of minimalist short-story master Raymond Carver
for cinematic inspiration. Carver (recently deceased) was
interested in the blandness and fragility of everyday existence. His stories are tightly structured snapshots of extraordinary moments in ordinary lives, introducing a few charac-
ters and then taking them in the least-expected direction.
In his new film Short Cuts (playing exclusively at San
Diego's Park Theater), Altman has taken a handful of Carver
stories, changed the location from the midwest to Los Angeles and created what is perhaps the finest film of his career.
Altman does not so much adapt these stories as interpret
them. The stories are loosely woven together in distinct
Altman fashion, complete with his characteristic quick cutting and unique camera angles. The beauty of the film lies in
the fact that the Carver material works so well within that
stylistic framework. It is a marvelous marriage of artistic
mediums: Altaian's dramatic and visual sense brings the
stories to life in the same way that Carver's deeply drawn,
insightful characters and situations give weight to the director's
vision.
A plot summary would be useless for a film of this
complexity and scope, and part of the joy of the movie lies in
watching the various stories turn in unexpected directions.
Compelling, flawed characters are introduced and relationships are established at a leisurely pace. Some of the stories
take tragic turns that send ripples throughout the film. By the
end, every individual story has been in some way affected by
another story, creating a fragile web of relationships and
circumstances holding the narrative together.
It certainly helps that Altman has assembled a cast of
some of the finest actors in film. Matthew Modine, Tim
Robbins, Lily Tomlin, Fred Ward and Jack Lemmon are j ust
a few of the standouts on a crowded list. The director has
given his cast a great deal of freedom to improvise dialogue
and approach their characters as they seefit,and that gives the
film much of its gritty, home-movie kind of ambiance. The
actors work off of each other very naturally. Even the
dramatic, scenery-chewing roles seem realistic and unrehearsed.
Altman has woven isolated characters and events together
in a coincidental and subtle way; the characters are oftentimes
connected in ways only the viewer can see. But these
coincidental, unseen connections are the driving force behind
many of the film's main events. That is the genius of
Altman's technique. He has taken the small, literary lands
Carver created and bound them together in one big cinematic
world. The viewer is able to sit back and see the connections
the characters cannot, to observe the "short cuts" that tie
everything together.
�Babysitting
"I think she's poor," mother told me.
How do you know?
"Just from the way she dresses . . . I just have a feeling about it.
I'm pretty sure she has a messy house too. Make sure you
tell me, okay?"
It's poor by my standards, but not really poverty.
The contrast opens my eyes and makes me that much more
aware of the world around me.
I realize how much I have
and how good my life is.
They have tasteless macaroni and cheese for dinner
yet cheap ice cream for dessert.
"Sit on the floor with your ice cream
if you want to watch t.v."
"Mom said we can't sit on the floor 'cuz there's lice in the
carpet."
"Okay. I guess we won't sit on the floor anymore."
Aftr sharing a toothbrush, they sleep in their underwear—
the heat is unbearable.
Parents divorced, they live with mom. Life is hard.
The ugly separation remains
branded in their hearts,
a painful memory.
T he driDDins f aucet k eens m e a wake so I w atch c able on t heir
s mall t .v.
It is ironic, and I sadly smile thinking of the
ice cream and cable.
This is an old house, yet big enough for their family of three.
The waiting ends as she returns
to wake the kids and drive me home.
With the twenty dollar bill in hand
I feel guilty and wonder
if I shouldhave made an exception
to my two dollar per hour fee.
But the feeling doesn't last long
as I see my house.
I step quietly over the threshold
into the comfort of my own home,
ready for sleep,
and in the morning . . . church.
Naomi Fink
Choices
I can make my own decisions,
My own choices.
I know what is for me and,
what is not.
I do not need anyone to decide
for me.
Do not tell me you know
what is best for me.
You do not.
At times it seems you do not know
what is best for you
You set yourself up as my judge
Without knowing who I am
You want to tell me how to live
My life
In my body in my spirit
You ask me to believe that I
cannot decide what is right
Forme.
You who kill by the thousands
You who destroy and maim
And cast aside those who are
Maimed and destroyed in yourname
Would you accuse me of murder
Because I choose to own
my body
Because I choose to remove
from my body something I do not
want
Oh ye with faces looking in all directions
Ye, who would kill for no reason, in a heartbeat
And justify it. Ye who would
Judge your fellowman by his skin
color
Or religious choice or sexual preference
How dare you proclaim to sit
in judgment of me
You are not God
Though you would have us think
so
And think on this
Even God in her glory and power
Does not judge me for what
I do
It is my life, it is my body
Step aside or be trod upon.

�Campus Alcohol Policy
Focuses on responsibility through education
By J an C ooper
StaffWriter
Recent activity at the ICC meetings has
left many students wondering j ust What is the
university's policy on alcohol. A complete
copy of the University Interim Alcohol Policy
is available from the O ffice of Student Activities. This policy provides a comprehensive approach to alcohol use which is
sensitive to the individual while preserving
the academic environment of the university.
The policy is two-part: the philosophical
foundation of the interim policy and interim
alcohol regulations. The philosophical foundation maintains C SUSM's commitment to
providing a supportive environment that encourages students to pursue intellectual, professional, and personal development. As the
use of alcohol may interfere with this pursuit
on an individual basis and have an adverse
affect on the university c ommunity, the
present alcohol policy promotes responsible
approaches and considerations of alcohol use
through education, counseling support, and
regulation enforcement.
The Office of Counseling and Psychological Services; Studefit Health Services, and
the Office of Student Activities provide re-
source materials, educational programs, workshops, and activities which discuss alcohol
and substance abuse. Psychological services
are also available to CSUSM students through
individual counseling, support groups, selfhelp strategies, and community resource referrals. While students may seek assistance
for their own abuse, it is not uncommon for
them to seek help regarding a friend or family
member.
The purpose of the interim alcohol policy
is to provide basic guidelines for the sale,
serving, and consumption of alcoholic beverages on CSUSM property. Appropriate written approval (see a complete copy f or details)
must be obtained, and a reasonable list of
activities must be followed, including abiding by university, federal, and state regulations regarding alcohol; providing a nonalcoholic beverage alternative, and maintaining behavior and activities appropriate to a
university setting.
If your organization plans to sponsor an
event where alcohol will be served, or if you
plan to participate in one, it may be wise to
review a complete copy of the University
Interim Alcohol Policy. Any questions should
be addressed to the Director of Student Activities.

Honors plan open for discussion
K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER
Students, faculty and administrators have
the opportunity to debate and help mold the final
plan for the university's Honors Program.
The basic plan, designed by an honors
committee — made up of a cross sections of
faculty, students and administrators—has been
planned for the academically motivated student,
who wantsamorerigorouseducational programs
and is also interested in leadership and community service. As written, the University Honors Program will be kept separatefromthe Latin
Honors Program, which is grade-point-average
dependent
The program has been designed to cover two
separate segments of the student population: the
first segment of students are those that want to
enter a total Honors Program which involves
Honors Courses and leadership responsibilities,
and the other group of students are those that
only want to take one or two selected Honors
Courses.
Some of the proposed regulations covering
admission to Honors Classes and Honors Program are:
• Students may self-select to participate in
Honors Courses at any time in their stay at
CSUSM.
• Students may declare themselves members of the University Honors Program upon
completion of two Honors Courses with a grade
of B or better.
• Certain courses will be declared as Honor
Courses and a designation will appear in the
class schedule.
• Honors Classes are taught using regular
curriculum. Students that contract with the
teacher for Honors designation will be required
to do extra work outside of the classroom.
• Students who experience undo stress from
the extra work can withdraw from the Honors
Program without jeopardizing their grade in the
Psychology honor society forming
Organization is under way to create a
national honor society in psychology at Cal
State San Marcos.
Charter members are being sought for Phi
Chi. If formed the organization would be the
first honor society on campus.
According to organizer Pafira Catledge,
the national organization was formedin 1929
"with the purpose of encouraging, stimulating and maintaining excellence in scholarship
and advancement of the science of psychology"
An established Phi Chi chapter draws
membersfrominvitation only and members
are voted into the society by two-thirds of the
chapter.
For CSUSM, however, charter members
only need to meet certain requirements.
"Right now, students can get in with the
regular class.
• To graduate with University Honors a
student must accumulate 12 units in Honors
Courses and have attained recognition as a
leader and a community volunteer.
A complete transcript of the HonorsProposal
can be found in the Associated Students Office,
Student Lounge bulletin board, the Senate Office and in the Library.
For anyone interested in shaping the future
of CSUSM's Honors Program, more forums
will be held this week. Students are encouraged
to attend all of the following forums. Input from
their ideas will be used to frame the final proposal:
• Tuesday, March 17: a forum for students
will be in Room 112, Building 800 from 1 to 2
p.m.
right grade point average," Catledge said.
"After that it will be by a vote by the chapter."
Requirements include:
• upper 35 percent of class - 3.16 grade
point average for juniors and 3.17 GPA for
seniors, and
p-^^^X
• overall B average in psychologic
courses.
The group is open to men and women in
all classes.
Two organizational meetings are schedule
for March 24 in Room 9, Building 145 and
March 26 in Room 97, Building 800. Each
meeting isfromnoon to 12:30 p.m. Applications and more information will be distributed
at that time.
Deadline for application is March 30.
For more information, call Catledge at
270-9782.
• Wednesday, March 18: a forum for faculty, staff, and administration will be in Room
10, Building 145 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
• Friday, March 20: An open forum is
scheduled in Room 129, Building 800from10
to 11 a.m.
The current recommendation leaves theacceptance of a student into a Honors Course up to
the discretion of the Honors Director and the
professor.
Discussed at thefirstforum was the ability of
the University to support classes designed for
honors students rather than having the honors
work as an addition to a regular class.
Talk centered around the necessity of leadership and community service and whether these
requirements have an underlying gender and
racial bias.

Forthcoming class ring
reflects global goals
LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
Students graduating from Cal State
San Marcos will have something to
take with them apart from a diploma.
Since last semester, a committee
comprised of students, faculty and
administration has chosen a design
for a CSUSM class ring.
Jostens, the ring manufacturer selected by the committee to produce
the final product, is expected to complete a final design for the ring this
week. Currently , Jostens is testing the
final design selected by the committee to see whether it works on the
ring's small scale.
"The (design selection process)
went through several iterations," said
Marti Gray, director of Auxiliary
Services and chair of the committee.
"Its been a process of creativity and
compromise."
Gray said that some of the
committee's original designs had to
be discarded because they couldn't be
seen on the small scale of a class ring.
Other „elements preferred by the
committee were too expensive or too
complex to fit in with student budgets.
The resulting design was the culmination of seven or eight meetings,
said Gray, and conveys a sense of
uniqueness while maintaining traditional elements. The committee chose
an intermediate-sized ring to emphasize detail without being too bulky.
Topping the ring will be a blue
stone with the etched figure of a
mountain lion underneath. The engraved lion's head, carved out of silver, will be seen through the stone. It
will be rectangular in shape with each
of the corners cropped off. Surrounding the stone will be the inscription "California State University

The side panels of the ring were
designed to r eflect C SUSM's
uniqueness while concurrently expressing the university's mission
statement of global awareness.
Craven Hall will dominate one side
of the panel, while the image of a
lion's paw will rest underneath. Two
hands, each holding globes will be
placed at the top of the panel. An
engraved bridge separates the two.
Gray compiled a list of reactions
from panel members about the design
of the ring.
"Craven Hall pays tribute to the

in its first year will have, the opportunity to have a customized panel on the

Child care program with local club
continues despite small turnout
JONATHAN YOUWG/PIONEER
With about a third of the needed
children, the Boys and Girls Club of
San Marcos will continue to offer a
child care service the campus community of Cal State San Marcos.
Theprogram, started this semester,
provides child care service several
nights a week in addition to the clubs
daily hours. Located at the Woodland
Park branch, grade-school children
can attend the club from 2 p.m. to 8
p.m. Monday through Friday. Children can also use the club during
regular hours, Monday through Friday.
To stay open on the four nights, 15
children were need to support the
program. Only five are utilizing the
service.
But campus and club officials are
not being discouraged and say that the
program will grow in the next semester.
Tanis Brown, an organizer of the
program, said the news of the new
program got to the students too late;
needed child care services had already been arranged by students.
Brown, along with the Women's
Information Network, is preparing to
send out flyers to women returning
next semester to inform them of the
program and to get some feed back on
the program.
Sue Aldana, of the San Marcos
Boys and Girls Club, and Brown have
received comments that the program
is not open late enough for student
attending night classes at CSUSM.
Those classes last until 10 p.m.; the
program is only open until 8 p.m.
"As a university, we did not want
toadvocate kids being outat 10p.m.,"
Brown said. Aldanasaidtheclub could
re-evaluate the time schedule based
on student feed back.
Even though the specifications of
the program may change, Brown said
the child care program will continue
at operate.
' That's a really positive element
on campus," Brown said. "A lot of
other universities are offering the
opportunity of having a child care
program.
"As a new university with a large
number of re-entry women, we wan
to keep up with those opportunities
for women to come back to school
and have their kids on site or close
by."
To use the Boys and Girls Club's
service, the children must become
members of the club. To use any
service the club offers, children have
to be members and this $15 yearly fee
releases the university of liability .
The evening service costs S5 a
night; children may use the club during
the day at no additional cost.

inscription "Founding Year 19891990" substituted for the founding
class's legend. Rings for students not
enrolled in the first year of classes
will have the year of their graduation
inscribed.
Originally, the committee sought
a separate design for the commemorative ring, but due to the low student
population in the first year, such a
design would be expensive.
Although the ring's final cost has
n ot y et been d etermined, Eric
Pukowski, Jostens' s representative to
CSUSM, said the price will be competitive with noncustomized rings
found at other universities.
Pukowski estimated that prices for
men's rings will range from about

IN NEXT ISSUE
$370, for 10 karat gold, to approximately $700, for 18 karat gold.
Women's rings should range from
about$340,for lOkaratgold, to around
$600.
Generally, class rings are purchased by the December previous to
graduation. Because theringis still in
the design process, students graduating this spring will be able to acquire
the product just before commencement
"It will be close," said Gray.
Many universities hold separate
ring ceremonies at commencement
time, where the product is presented
to the student by the campus's president. Gray said, because the university is holding its first graduation
ceremony, aring ceremony might take
away from the emphasis on commencement
The Class Ring Committee is
comprised of students BarbaraPender,
Tom Weir, Steffanie Taylor and Jose
Chapman. Vice President of Student
Affairs, Ernest Zomalt and Director
ofBusiness Services, PatFarris joined
Gray on the committee for an administrative voice, while Stephen
Welch, professor of Chemistry, represented the faculty.
G ray's memo sums up the
committee's response to the overall
design. "The original yet, traditional
design is a culmination of efforts and
creativity to student representatives,
staff and faculty."
NEWS
Part one in a two-part series concerning
treatment, misinformation of genital warts
If you read this column frequently,
you might be wondering why I am
writing about another sexually transmitted disease. Recently, I have
written about other current health
concerns, however, the subject of this
column, Human Papillamavira Virus
(HPV) infection, has become a very
common and an important health
problem in thecollege-agepopulation.
This will be the first of a two-part
column, because HPV infection is
complex and misinformation is common.
HPV is the virus that causes warts.
There are more than 60 types of the
virus, with approximately a dozen
types that can cause warts or subtle
signs of infection in the genital tract.
Since genital HPV is not a reportable
disease, we do not have exact numbers
on how much of the population is
infected. It is estimated that between
500,000 to 1 million new cases of
genital HPV occur each year. It clearly
is the fastestrisingviral STD.
Genital HPVs has been discovered
to be more contagious than previously
thought It is usually spread through
sexual contact with an infected
person,although intercourse is not
necessary to spread the infection. In
HEALTHNOTES
BY D R . J O E L
GRINOLDS
studies, two thirds of those with genital warts infected their partners. It is
very likely that genital HPV infection
also can be transmitted when warts
are not present
When viral infection is transmitted from person to person, the virus
infects the top layers of the skin and
can remain inactive or dormant for a
long time. We are frequently asked
for how long. No one knows for sure
but at least months and maybe years
can go by before signs of infection or
warts appear. For most people warts
will appear within three to six months.
Some types of HPV will more often result in visible warts than others.
Types 6 ad 11 will almost always
result in visible warts. Other types
that may infect the cervix of women
may not produce warts that are clearly
seen.
Currently, there is no easy test that
is reliable, cost effective, and helpful
in treatment that identifies the HPV
type. HPV cannot be grown in the
laboratory and cannot be detected by
a blood test
We also know that when warts or
other signs of HPV occur, a healthy
immune system may clear up the warts
by itself over a period of months or
years, however, the HPV may still
remain and recurrences of warts are
fairly common.
When HPV is present in the genital area without visible genital warts,
oneis considered to havea"subclinical
infection." It is becoming clear that
subclinical infection is much more
widespread than anyone would have
thought 10 years ago. Also, as research
techniques become more sensitive in
detection ¿)f HPV,we are finding a
greater prevalence in patients with
subclinical infection. Of interest is
that many researchers believe that
medical science is now identifying,
for thefirsttime, an infectious agent
that likely has been widespread in the
the population for decades.
What does it all mean? I will address that in a column soon.

Student participation
is embarrassing low
It has appeared in print and has been spoken often:
Get Involved! It seems that either the majority of theCal
State San Marcos students are ignorant and cannot
comprehend these two words, or that students here are
just not interested in their school.
President Bill Stacy sent a letter to the prospective
first class asking for pioneering students, ones that
would set standards and traditions. The first few classes
have to be innovative and active in setting the ground
work for future generations of students. I t's a shame that
not very many students have lived up to the president's

A THOUGHT:
"To all who come
to this happy place:
Welcome. "
W ALT D ISNEY, 1 9 5 5
I am writing in response to the article on
recycling written in the last issue of the Pioneer
("Recycling program needs participation"). The
article was concerned not with the general importance of the recycling issue but with the
importance of recycling on this campus.
The article stated that CSUSM was without
a recycling program. I am writing to inform the
Pioneer and the students that the school does
haveaprogram.TheAssociatedStudentCouncil
has had a Recycling Committee since last semester, and the recycling program has existed
since last November. The Committee consists
of five students.
Since established, the program has recycled
over 60 pounds of aluminum, 100 pounds of
glass, 339 pounds of white paper,472pounds of
computer paper and over 2000 pounds of
newsprint (including thePioneer), and in addition
hundreds of pounds of mixed paper and some
plastics.
The campus staff and faculty have been an
important part of getting recycling going, and
the Recycling Committee has been important in
keeping it going. The program has been mostly
concerned with recycling paper goods and
maintaining previously established recycling
stations around campus. Currently, the Committee is working with the University on expanding and upgrading the system. The future
of recycling is expansion, and preparation for
the new campus.
As individuals we can all help by using the
appropriate bins on campus. As the Recycling
Committee, we will do our best to expand the
program to meet the needs of students, faculty,
and staff. The Committee is in need of help to
accommodate the expanding program; interested
individuals should contact the A.S. Office.
Also, anyone wishing to donate recyclables
to the Associated Students can do so by simply
dropping off their donations at Liberty Recycle
in San Marcos.
Currently the Library has a container for
aluminum cans. The computer labs have paper
bins. The A.S.Officehasbinsforall recyclables.
Building 125 has a central recycling area for
everything, and bins for paper in the copying
area. Financial Aid has an aluminum cans bin,
there are bins for paper, cans and bottles in the
copy room Building 135. Building 820 has a
place for cans and newspaper.

However, you neglected to mention the

sity at the graduating ceremony on May 23, as
our gift to all continuing and future students of
CSUSM.
With approximately 100 students graduating
in thisfirstclass, our goal would be to create at
least $500 which would provide initial seed
money for the Student Union Fund. This gift
may be small in view of the overall cost of the
project, but it will represent much more than a
financial token. In a time when education is
shadowedby serious economic cutbacks coupled
by a large increase in tuition, we are pledging
our support to all future students of CSUSM. A
campus Student Union Building is as important
to the student community as the classrooms.
Five dollars does not buy much these days:
five cups of coffee at the student store, lunch at
the Full Belly Deli, half a T-shirt. How many
times do we blow that amount on "nothing?"
How much do we spend on an average birthday
present? In contrast, a$5 donation to the CSUSM
Student Union Fund is a gift that will continue
to give long after our class has graduated.
Unlike a scholarship fund which benefits
only a select group of students, a Student Union
Building is for the benefit of all students.
Let's not lose the chance to do something
really fine as the first graduating class. If you
support my suggestion, and want to help make
this idea a reality, please contact me through the
A.S. Office, Building 135.

One galactic theory
Astronomer Dr. Hugh Ross told of his unidentified flying object
research results on a recent Reasons to Believe program on Trinity
Broadcasting Network:
• About 98 percent of UFO sightings can be explained by natural
phenomena.
• The other 2 percent are real, but not physical; they don't obey the
laws of physics.
• The sightings are typically inconsistent from one to the next, as
though the UFOs are trying to make it hard for us to figure out what they
are.
• The people who have had close encounters of the third kind
(kidnapped by extraterrestrials) demonstrate the same psychological
trauma as people who have had encounters with the occult. These people
also have had previous experience with occult phenomena before their
UFO encounters.
Ross' conclusions are that UFOs are demon activity and the purpose
is to deceive people. Satan may try to explain as kidnapping by UFOs the
coming disappearance of million of Christians when Jesus Christ returns
and beams up his church.
Extraterrestrial Etiquette
In 1990, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence project directors
put together "Declaration of Principles Concerning Activities Following Detection of Extraterrestrial Intelligence." The NASA organization
put together this set of nine guidelines for those who encounter alien life
forms.
Here is a brief highlight:
*• Don* t call the press until you have informed other researchers and
you're sure the signal is from extraterrestrial beings and is not manmade.
• Call the secretary general of the United States.
• Once you're certain, don't keep the news a secret.
• Don't talk back until serious international discussion are held on
what we (the government) want to say.
None of the nine rules mentions acceptable etiquette when meeting
an alien face to face.

With only eight issues published, Cal State San Marcos' student newspaper entered competition for the first time. The new publication
surprised its own staff and other papers as it took seven top awards in the California Intercollegiate Press Association's
annual convention; Pioneer is now ranked as one of the top three weekly college publications.
This Year,
We're Running It
On April 9 ,10,11 and 12, Pioneer will welcome almost 500 college students to the 43rd California Intercollegiate Press Association's annual
convention - here in San Marcos. This is one event that everyone is going to be involved in, from Cal State San Marcos students
and staff to community businesses. But we can always use more help.
Student volunteers are needed to assist with the convention itself. The four day event will include 13 competitions and over
12 workshops and lectures. There will be over 300 trophies and certificates awarded. And we need almost 100 volunteers!
As you can see, there's a lot of numbers in this writers conference. But they all add up to the best conference in the history

One night, Herman decided to
check out his new Mends. With
binoculars in hand, he perched
himself on a nearby railroad track to
watch the zipping light show. As
the object made a sudden drop, as if
it had fallen, Herman fumbled to
catch a glimpse through his binoculars.
"He was trying to focus his
binoculars to see what had happened to it, when it swooped in and
filled the sky in front of himcompletelyfilledthe sky in seconds," Stevens said.
Caught by surprise, Herman
started to fall back off the tracks. As
he tried to catch himself, the ship
started to draw away from him. "It
was going away and he was in the
air, he was in a beam of blue light
going up into the craft
"He was kicking and yelling and
trying to get out of it and it sucked
him up anyway," Stevens said. "He
saw the reeds along the side of the
tracks blowing away from him at
the time this was happening. He lost
consciousness until he woke up on
an examination table aboard the
alien ship."
The object seems to be getting

it. Oh my...
Stevens calls Herman's friends
the Reticulum and classifies them in
the greys family, a classification
consisting of grey-colored aliens.
Research in both the United States
and Canada have shown that a third
of all extraterrestrial encounters are
from this type of alien.
The Reticulum are short, ranging
from 4-feet to 4-feet 3-inches. They
have large heads and large, dark
eyes. Other encounter reports tell of
similar grey creatures.
"The tragedy is that we are
painting them all with the same
brush," Stevens said. "Some of the
greys are benevolent, some are
malevolent and there are shades of
grey in between. It so happens that
the Reticulums are among the most
benevolent of the extraterrestrial
entities visiting this planet."
Herman has been exact with his
description and said the creatures
wear a silk-like blue uniform with a
flying serpent on the left breast.
They are kind, gentle creatures and
meticulous with their work.
Herman even knows which solar
system the Reticulum call home.
"There is only one case in the
history of this whole extraterrestrial
phenomena, that I know of, where
the E X entity specifically said they
came from what we call Reticulum,
and that is the Charleston case of
Bill Herman in South Carolina,"
Stevens said.
The creatures told Herman where
they werefromat least four times,
in several different ways and in
great detail giving their planet's
mass, orbital characteristics and
inclination of the axis. Compared to
other astronomical information and
research, Stevens said their directions were "absolutely correct."
Reticulum is a twin-star system
seen to the low south in the sky.
Because of it's location, it is not
visible at all times of the year in this
part of the Earth.
Stevens said the two stars are

One aspect of the ship that
interested Herman the most was
how it traveled. He would sit and
chart the zipping motions of the
craft and determined that its
navigation was based on a triangular pattern.

Magnolias' steals women's passions
DEBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
There is little comparison between
a movie and a well-performed play.
Take for instance the production of
"Steel Magnolias," as performed by
the Lamb Theatre in San Diego. Here
is a performance that far outshines the
fine movie of the same name.
"Steel Magnolias" is almost exclusively a women's production. All
of the scenes aie set in a 1950s-style
beauty shop, which is mostly
"women's territory." Four women,
all of different ages make up the cast.
Even though men are spoken of, they
never appear on stage. Women's
passions and emotions resonate
through the beauty shop. Moreover,
the characters bond together. Each
woman needs the others for different
reasons, but all utilize each other because their ability to grow and change
only becomes reality when the other
women support them. The production
is even directed by a woman.
Every actor truly conveys that they
are the well-scripted characters they
perform. The two most impressive of
the lot are Annelle, played by Cynthia
Peters, and Ouiser, played by Darlene
Trent
Annelle, when she first appears on
the stage, seemsfrightened,nervous,
unsure of herself. Every time someone
asks her a question, her face becomes
as a contorted prune, displaying every
emotion Annelle feels. Throughout
the play, however, Annelle grows
more confident, more sure of herself.
In thefirstscene, Annelle Haphazardly styles T ruvy's (Veronica

Murphy Smith) hair, hesitant of every
move she makes. In the final scene,
Annelle, married and pregnant, Confidently arranges Clairee's (Patricia
DiMeo) hair. Being a part of the
women of the beauty shop gives
Annelle the confidence to grow and
be herself.
Ouisar, cynical, sarcastic, extremely loud, arrives in thefirstscene
yelling and screaming about her
neighbor and his abuse of her dog.
She invites laughter with her attitude
and brings a lightness to a sometimes
heavy mood.
However, Ouisar also changes
drastically during the course of the
play. As the production progresses,
her behavior and attitude softens, becoming more gentle. By the final
scene, Ouisar, instead of storming
into the room, sits in a chair waiting
for her hair dresser. She wears stylish
clothing instead of blue jeans. Ouisar
no longer needs to be boisterous and
obnoxious to be accepted in the group;
she can confidently be a quieter, more
calm woman without the fear of rejection.
Even though Annelle and Ouisar
change the most, every character
within theplay changes; none remains
stagnant. Clairee begins to live her
own life after her husband dies,
M'Lynn (Gail West) gives a part of
herself to her daughter Shelby (Mhari
Frothingham Sandoval), and Shelby
learns what it takes to give of herself
for her child.
In thefinalscene, everyone in the
audience, including the men, responds
to the characters' feelings. The audience easily identifies with their
emotions, crying and laughing along
with them.
The personal interaction between
the actors and the audience makes
"Steel Magnolias" a play worth seeing.
"Steel Magnolias" is playing at the
Lamb's Theatre until March 28. Tickets range from $15 to $19. Lamb's
Theatre is located at 500 Plaza Blvd.
in National City.

Hollywood is pretty much bipolar
in its treatment of aliens from outer
space.
On the one side are filmmakers
who believe that aliens should be
snarling, spewing creatures with more
make-up than Tammy Faye Baker
and a disposition slightly worse than
Don Rickles. These galactic heavies
all seem to have an insatiable taste for
foreign food (namely human flesh),
and are generally hard to kill.
Traditional cinema oftentimes
correlated extra-terrestrials with
names like "it," "thing" or"that "oozy
ball of slime that reeks havoc upon
mankind." In virtually all cases, bad
aliens pose a threat to the whole of
earthly civilization. It's either us or j
them.
On the other hand, good aliens
seem to be humanity's only hope.
Their cosmic experiences correlate
with the notion of wisdom and beauty.
Traditionally they have been overlooked by Hollywood, which opted
for snarling menaces over blubbering
do-gooders. Not until the Reagan
administration did the film industry
feel inclined to create creatures that
could actually save usfromsocial and
moral despair.
Good aliens are harder to recognize .
than bad ones. Many times they take
on human form, looking better than
most GQ Magazine models. These
beings are generally fragile and can
die from little more than a hard look.

Tilt 'n Kilt gives taste of Britain
to North County area pubgoers
With Saint Patrick's Day celebrations occurring throughout the county
today, I went in search of some special place to acquaint myself with the
flair of the British Isles.
Tilt ' n Kilt, located at 1660
Capalina in San Marcos is just the
place to kiss the blarney stone, sip
some heady ales or fling a few darts
for your Saint Patty's Day celebration.
No pub would be complete without a bountiful offering of munchies
and fine beers, and Tilt 'n Kilt delivers both.
I tried the Celtic Nachos at $2.25.
Unlike the western American fare,
this taste treat uses British chips as a
base instead of tortilla chips. In the
British Islands, chips are the actual
equivalent of our French fries.
Tilt 'n Kilt serves these hot, yet
slightly greasy, morsels with a wonderfully tangy cheese sauce and
chopped scallions. The appetizer is a
delicious blend of European charm
and American Southwestern z fnf:
Another British favorite is the
banger. This strange-sounding

The batter formed a crusty shell
around the sausage, similar to that
found on fish and chips. At $4.25, the
combination topped my list of taste
sensations.
The beer selection represents the
best of the British Isles. For those
looking for a suitable brew for Saint
Patrick's Day, Tilt 'n Kilt offers
Guinness Stouton tap. WhenGuinness
is bottled, it loses some of its full, rich
flavor. When served on tap, the dark
ale's full malty taste shines through.
I had a Black and Tan, a portion of
Watneys ale topped with a layer of
Guinness Stout. Strangely, the two
liquids do not mix, rather the dark Larry Boisjolie is Editor-irvChief for Pioneer.

monsters with acid for blood, two sets
of retractable teeth, and nasty dispositions. These foul creatures are smart,
take on several hideous forms at differing stages of their development
and have a particular dislike for
Sigourney Weaver.
"THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET": This silent, benign creation from director John
Sayles heals broken video machines
with a touch ofhis hands. As a stranded
alien who has the body of a black
man, the brother tries to conform to
social rules and ideologies. What he
does, is create a powerful social
statement on racial alienation. The
brother is a comedic good guy trapped
in an ultra-serious environment.
"COCOON": Anotherexampleof
the sickeningly sweetprotagonist from
outer space. These lovely creatures,
which masquerade as humans, have
the cure for the bane of all mankind,
old-age. They offer eternal youth and
are treated with infernal disregard by
himans. Even so, they are the kinds of
sweet, likable aliens that Hollywood
shunned for so many, years, but audiences go ga-gaover. Don't waste your
time with the sequel though. "Cocoon
D: The Return" simply tries to milk
audience response from the first film
with dismal results.
"CRITTERS": Once again we have
little monsters with no redeeming
social value, but great hunger. The
protagonists in this film look like
Brillo pads with teeth. They roam the
countryside in search of food (anything from automobiles to human
flesh), and multiply faster than hamsters in an orgy. The movie satirizes
Hollywood alien flicks with every
opportunity with comedic results.
"E.T.—THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL": Unless you've been hiding
on Mars for the last decade, E.T. has
become a familiar sight in American
culture. This cuddly creature finds
itself stranded on Earth with no way
home. It is a fragile, magical being
which brings out the child in all who
watch it—and watch it they did. E.T.
remains in orbit as the most popular
film (money wise) of all time'.
"MY STEPMOTHER IS AN
ALIEN": I wish Kim Basinger, who
plays the title role, didn't live on this
planet. She is too perfect for womankind. She is also perfect for the role
of the benign alien that learned all
about earthly culture from satellite
transmissions of television sitcoms.
"PREDATOR": Arnold Schwarzenegger finally meets his match
(well almost) with a groady-looking
hunter from outer space that kills
humans for pleasure. Seen also in the
flawed but fun "Predator2," this alien
can blend like a chameleon with its
surroundings and carries aformidable
extra-terrestrial arsenal.
"STARMAN": Jeff Bridges was
cheated out of an Academy Award for
his performance as yet another alien
trapped on planet Earth. This particular
visitor from another planet is actually
a glowing sphere which clones the
body of a human to survive the harsh
world in which it is stranded. Starman
is a movie about love and magic, with
an alien that tries to blend with an
unkind world.
-THE THING": This John Carpenter 1982 Sci-Fi thriller is based
more on the circa 1930 novella "Who
Goes There?" by John W, Campbell
than the 1952 Howard Hawkes film.
In the movie a group of scientist in
Antarctica find a spaceship imbedded
in the ice. The inhabitant of the ship is
a vicious changeling that takes on the
form of any animal it wants. The
question throughout the movie is,
who's the alien and who i sn't "The
Thing" probably gives more scares
per square inch than any alien movie
on the list

Cuyamaca State Park
helps alleviate stress
Show me a pine tree by a meadow
and I am on a the way to a speedy
recovery from stress-related school
insanity. A couple of weeks ago,
several of us overworked students
along with our families went on a
picnic to Rancho Cuyamaca State
Park.
All of us complained that we really
did not have the time necessary to
take a Sunday Afternoon away from
our studies, but we did it anyway. It
was glorious. The crisp air and pine
smells awakened a feeling of reality
into our abused brains.
We had a potluck picnic and we all
over-ate. So we took a long nature
walk to make sure we would have
enough room to stop for a piece of
Julian apple pie a la mode on the way
home.
Rancho Cuyamaca State Park, located about 14 miles south of Julian
has campgrounds, picnic sites, museum, lake, even equestrian camping
facilities. The park is riddled with
Sullivan's T ravels

nature trails, from easy to extreme.
In case you have had your head in
the school books for too long and
haven't noticed—wildflowers cover
our foothills. The drive to the Julian
Mountains this weekend would not
only be an immersion in color from
the flowers and meadows but would
include a good chance of snow at the
higher elevations.
A trip to the mountains this
weekend presents a pleasurable way
to preserve sanity during mid-terms
next week. But, if your personality
will not allow you to relax enough to
enjoy some stolen moments before
finals, a picnic in the mountains also
acts as a recovery mechanism for an
over-taxed mental system.

Student fee adopted in elections
L ARRY B OISJOLIE /PIONEER
Next spring, students will be assessed a
$ 15 membership fee, due to an overwhelming victory by two measures on last week's
Associated Students special election ballot.
With 200 students voting in the Oct 7
and 8 poll, Measure B, which approved the
fee, passed by a landslide 73 percent of the
vote. An enabling measure allowing the
A.S. to collect the imposed fee also was
. adopted with 8 2 percent of the student vote.
Along with the f ee measures* Measure
C, which established principles of remunerations for A.S. Council members, also
passed. The measure squeezed by with a 5 2
percent "yes" vote.
"We are surprised and pleased by the
results,"said A.S. President JoseChapman.
"It proves that all the work on the elections
did not g o for naught."
• • ? Last April, students narrowly approved
a $15 A.S. membership fee, but failed to
pass the enabling measure allowing the
organization to collect the charge. As a
result, the A.S. turned to the University
Foundation for a $12,900 loan to attain
funds.
Last week's victory will give the A.S. a
steady source of income and provide funds
to repay the Foundation's loan.
"We were certain to make sure A and B
passed," Chapman said. He indicated that
translations for the ballot measures that
were printed on the ballot helped students
understand for what they were voting.
The translations provided pro and con
explanations of the ballot measures in terms
students could comprehend.

Measure C stands for council 'conflict'
When the Associated Student Council put a measure on last
week's ballot asking for the principle of receiving rerttUnerations,
they had no idea that it would cause a stir.
Measure C, which passed by a narrow margin of six votes, asked
students to apprcfve the idea of establishing and awarding scholarship stipends, grants-in-aid and other remunerations to A.S.
officers and Council members.
"I was surprised at the reaction to the measure since it didn't
establish anything but a principle," said Vicc President of Student
Affairs Ernest Zomalt.
He said the proposition did not commit the student body to any
type of expenditure of funds.
But other students saw the measure as an attempt by the A.S.
Council to award themselves monetary compensation, for their
work.
In a letter to Pioneer, CSUSM student William Christensen noted,
"The A.S. is quickly imitating the politicians in Washington and
Sacramento who give themselves pay raises, bonuses and fringe
benefits."
Barbara Pender, editor of the campus yearbook, said that students serving on the A.S. Council should do so without pay. She said
she believes the work should be performèd on a voluntary basis
only.
A.S. President Jose Chapman said the A.S. did not actively
campaign for the measure because measures A and B establishing
student fees were the "thrust" of the election.

! Alcohol Awareness Week at CSUSM inidates a year-round emphasis on alcohol education and recognition of thp individual's ultimate
responsibility for decisions regarding use or non-use of alcohol. Activities
at CSUSM coincide with similar efforts during National Collegiate
Alcohol Awareness Week.
An effort to stress education and the individuals ultimate responsibility in making well-informed, responsible decisions will be the focus
of the program. A display table will be set up in the Student Lounge
during the entire event.
Cal State San Marcos isn't theonly

Panic disorder can be treated
if diagnosed quickly, properly
Recently, The National Institutes
o f Health c onvened a c onsensus
conference on a very common disorder and have agreed (which i s not
always the case) that it i s very responsive to treatment.
Panic disorder is defined as discrete
periods o f intense fear or discomfort
that are not triggered by severe anxiety-producing stimulus.
Most people with the disorder believe they are having a heart attack or
some type of severe impending doom
without any obvious precipitating
event. Therefore, panic disorder is
frequently misdiagnosed and consequently not properly treated.
Although r ecognized s ince the
1960s, known to occur in families,
and being maybe as common as 1 in
75 people, panic disorder i s s o often
misdiagnosed that patients frequently
have seen 10 or more doctors before
they are properly diagnosed.
Patients need to have at least four
of the following symptoms for the
diagnosis: shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations (increased heart
beat), trembling or shakings sweating,
choking, chest pain, abdominal distress, numbness, fear o f dying, and

fear of going crazy or losing control.
A person who has four or more
panic attacks in one month i s considered to have panic disorder. Some
may have isolated attacks and may
not require treatment. Others may have
infrequent attacks but live in constant
fear o f attacks and would possibly
benefit from treatment.
What is exciting is that there is
consensus that treatment really works.
Antidepressant medications, other
medications and cognitive-behavior
therapies have been found to be effective. Combinations of the therapies
are being researched. Fortunately,
people w ho have been rendered dysfunctional by this disorder are now
being helped with current therapy.

If you're a student at Cal State San
Marcos, chanccs are the person sitting
next to you in class is areentry woman.
Reentry women comprise onethird of the student population at
CSUSM. Many times, they face different obstacles than their younger
classmatesand have differing reasons
for seeking a degree.
"I sec reentry as a long-term trend,"
says Sandy Kuchler, director of Student Developmental Services. "Many
people switch focus or careers several
times in their lives. They have seen
education as the key to reentering the
job market or transitioning from one
career to another."
Kuchler says that CSUSM is a
"testimony of the number of students
that are not of traditional age." She
indicates that the focus of this older
student body is on life-long learning.
Reentry i s a grey term. Students in
this category range from 25-35 years
old and through their 70s. These students are sometimes called "adult
learners" or "non-traditional age students."
The average age of a student at
CSUSM i s 2 9, four years greater than
the national average. Many reentry
students have families and jobs to
tend to outside of their studies.
Time management, childcare, elder care, fears about skill level and
unreal expectations are some of the
common dilemmas of reentry women.
"Balancing time i s the biggest
challenge," comments CSUSM reentry student Tanis Brown. Student
Donna Hinke agrees, "My struggle is
how to juggle family responsibilities
with study and class time."
Kuchler says, "Deep down inside,
women f eel they need to do it all.
They just can't do it all at the same
level."
To help provide support for those
issues of letting g o and o f lowering
expectations, Kuchler developed the
W omen's I nformation N etwork
(WIN).
"Ideally," s ays Kuchler, "this
educational should involve the entire
family or significant others who initially may be very supportive of the
decision to return to school. However,
when reality sets in and the student is
nolongeravailabletohelpmeetneeds, .
there i s sometimes anger and frustration to deal with."
One of WIN's functions i s to help
them battle those frustrations.
But, because many reentry students
have so many other responsibilities,
"I see reentry as a long-term trend. Many people switch
focus or careers several times in their lives. They have seen
education as the key to reentering the job market or
transitioning from one career to another."
SANDY KUCHLER/STUDENT DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES DIRECTOR
providing a support group can be difficult. Kuchler says that many reentry
women c ome to campus for just one
class.
For that reason, she says she is
interested in hearing from women who
may be interested in meeting at a time
other than the scheduled meetings at
noon on Tuesdays in the Student
Lounge.
Kuchler was a reentry woman herself, s o she i s sympathetic to the time
demands on reentry women. "If a
group of reentry women in one class
wants to contact me, I'd love to get
together and meet them," she says.
Patti Elenz-Martin, a counselor in
Counseling Services, also sees the
reentry woman as plagued by business
and responsibilities.
"Sometimes hectic schedules can
make students feel isolated or disconnected. I want to be sensitive to their
schedules," says Elenz-Martin.
"Some students may feel they don't
have any options because they aren't
aware of the choices or resources that
may be available to them. Often, they
have s o many classmates, they don't
take time for themselves."
Elenz-Martin says providing resources is a two-way street She is
open to suggestions from students o f
resources needed and workshops they
would like to s ee offered.
To provide information in a f lexible manner, Counseling Services and
Career Planning offers a variety o f
on-going workshops on topics like
stress management, resume writing
and an orientation to the SIGI computer programs for interest evaluation.
Audio and video cassettes and pamphlets are also available to students.
"Childcare i s another area of need
on the agenda for the new facilities,"
Kuchler says. "Because o f tight state
regulations, it is impossible to handle
a childcare facility on our current
campus."
A childcare co-op is being formed
and interested students should sign
up in the Associated Students O ffice.
Faculty members are receptive to
the trend of older students.
Dr. Ken Mendoza, professor of
English, estimates that nearly 9 0 percent of his students are o f non-tradi- tional age.
•
"They havea stronger commitment
to their studies, largely due to their
l ife experiences which allow them to
s ee a clear association between their
goals, their experience and their university education," says Mendoza.

Columbus was important
despite incorrect ideology
There I was, sitting in the Student Lounge, eavesdropping as
usual. Over there were these two grade school instructors discussing
how to teach Christopher Columbus' discovery to their children.
—Well, let's see, he discovered America.
—Sure, but he was a bigot!
—But nobody had ever discovered America, except maybe Leif
Erikson.
—He was a bigot too!
—I think it's pretty important that he discovered A merica...
— ... and started 500 years of oppression! You want to glorify a
monster like that?
— No, I guess you're right. We'll let the kids figure out for
themselves who discovered America. Now, what about Lincoln
Of course, the conversation may not have gone exactly as
depicted, but I really wasn't taking notes.
What I did note was the final insistence from both grade school
teachers that Columbus be deglorified because of his belief in
Manifest Destiny.
Back then (a half a millennium ago) countries thought that they
had a God-givenrightto claim territories. As a result, whole nations
of people., like the American Indians, suffered from colonization
and invasion.
Obviously, with today'scrazc for political correctness, Manifest
'Destiny is hardlyan embraced doctrine. But, in the time of Columbus
it was.
When I was a child I revelled in stories of the age of exploration.
Travelers like Magellan and Drake wererightup there with Captain
Kirk in their quests for the unknown. Easily the most excellent
explorer of them all was Columbus himself.
It is difficult to understand all of the hullabaloo over
Measure C in last week's Associated Students elections
The measure seemed simple enough at first—asking
students to approve theprinciple for awarding A.S. Council
members stipends, grants and other forms of aid for work
done in governmental meetings.
Yet some saw the measure as a way for the A.S. to

fal
and
social
ideologies than
our own, is counterproductive. It takes away their opportunity to
cling to the ambitions of historical mentors.
Just because Thomas Jefferson possessed slaves, for instance,
doesn'tmean that he disregarded humanrights.JohnF. Kennedy's
accomplishments cannot be ignored just because he slept with
Marilyn Monroe.
Bashing Columbus for beliefs that were accepted during his
lifetime 4 99 years ago serves no purpose but to promote political
correctness today. Who can say how the explorer would have gone
about the business of discovering America in today 's society?
History teaches us many lessons on many different levels. Our
philosophies on how to treat others are directly gauged and formed
by actions in the past but s o is the knowledge of the world around
US'.
Columbus taught us that there are always new horizons to be
discovered and explored. Let's examine the man for that accomplishment and not stoop to mindless folly by nitpicking at his
beliefs.
Examining other A.S. organizations, it becomes readily
apparent that such expectations are not realistic.
Most A.S. council members throughout the Cal State
system receive stipends from the student body. These
stipends are paid for out o f student fees for the immense
amount of time each member expends while serving on
the council.
Measure C does not award stipends to A.S. Council, it
simply asked if students believe the principle of scholarships or grant-in-aid for council members is ethically
correct.
Why shouldn't it be?
With a population that consists of one-third reentry
women, CSUSM has a student constituency that is pressed
for time and money. Many students have families and
must hold a job while continuing studies. Taking time to
serve on an A.S. Council can put an expensive squeeze on
the pocketbook and limit income.
The A.S. president's stipend of $ 3,600is barely a drop
in the bucket for the time expended for the job. Most other
CSUs award their A S . presidents stipends that are 10 to
2 0 times higher than CSUSM's.
In addition, due to the small size of CSUSM and the
newness of the student government, a greater time commitment for the president i s needed than at other schools.
Many times he/she must serve on committees that are
vacant from lack o f student participation.
This time commitment does not allow the A.S. president to hold a work experience job apart from his/her
other duties. Is token compensation too much to ask for
such a sacrifice?
When students are elected to A.S. positions, they are
not elected into a priesthood where money and time must
be sacrificedfor service. They areelectedintoacommunity
that needs their services.
In this case, thecommunity-at-large (students) should
be receptive to the fact that fulfilling that need is costing
A.S. members personally.

fill j 111*??
Living in his own world, Quixote creates a
w mmmmmmm^m
society where he fights his adversaries and
protects his friends. Whatever Quixote believes becomes reality to
him.
"Man of La Mancha," playing at the Civic Theatre in San Diego,
recreates the spirit of Quixote with eloquent songs and superb acting.
Performed on an elaborate stage, "Man of La Mancha" wanders
through the life of Cervantes and his character, Don Quixote.
The opening scene presents Cervantes, exquisitely performed by
David Holliday (who also5 performs as .Quixote), as he and his servant
are thrust into a prison. In order to avoid the other prisoners' abuse,
Cervantes reveals a story about a traveling man, Quixote, and his
trusty friend, Sancho, whimsically performed by Darryl Ferrera. All
the prisoners within the prison interact in Cervantes' story by
becoming characters for the telling of the story.
Within Cervantes' story, Quixote encounters many different
people, one of which he falls in love with and calls his "Dulcinea."

interaction between Aldonza and Sancho. Aldonza probes Sancho
about his obedience to Quixote, and he lovingly sings, "I really like

favorite knight preforms acts o f
heroism in a tournament of jousting
and sword fighting. Color, pageantry, elegant horsemanship, good
food and a great time await visitors
to M e d i e ^ Ti ib$sv in Buen&J*ark.
Upon arrival, each guest is given
a colored crown So wear. This
crown admits them as part of the
retinue of their champion knight.
The blue crowns sit in the blue
section and cheer loudly for the
blue knight as he represents them
during the ceremonial procession
and games.
The Count and Countess of
Perelada, who preside over the
games and banquet, greet the
arriving guests. Their costumes are
exquisite as arc their manners.
The next adventure takes the
guests into a hall of torture. Here
over 30 authentic reproductions of
instruments of torture and ridicule
used during the Middle Ages are
displayed.
In this room are devices that
were commonly found in Spanish
dungeons and jails. Items of cruelty
like the "Rack" and the "Interrogation Chair" to items o f humiliation
like "Scolds Bride:" and "The

room is very interesting the additional $2 charged for the tour seems
excessive.

And it is surprising just how great

As guests enjoy their feast,
colorfully attired knights and

horsemanship are superb and the
knights are true virtuosos of lance

games the countess gives knights
flowers to present to a lady in his

When* Quixote sings "The Quest"
(The Impossible Dream), his v oice

Because o f H olliday's performance,

L ARRY B OISJOLIE /PIONEER
These days, the world is no stranger to surges of
nationalism. The Baltic states are discovering their own
identity, as East Germany tries to reclaim a unified
nationalist pride that abated for decades,
But with all the attention on the ¡Eastern Block
countries, Dr. Hank Johnston, professor of Sociology at Cal State San Marcos, says a region of
nationalist pridein the world today goes virtually
unnoticed.
The region is Catalonia, a smallstate in Spain
that has kept a sense of nationalist ^ride through
4 0 years of oppression.

"Nationalism is often an expression of
economic problems," says Johnston. "In
Catalonia we cannot underestimate how
important a basic cultural identity is to a
people."

view of nationalism than that which is
played out on Americans news* broach.

Catalonia 1939-1979', the book may be the only one of
its kind in the English language.
"The book is about how Catalonians were able to
preserve cultural identity despite apolice state," Johnston
states.
*,^
He says that under the Franco regime, Spain had a
more oppressive ^ystem of government than the Soviet
Union. C&talcnA^and Basques, for instance, were forced
to speak Spanish rather than their own languages. Tft&se
not speaking Spanish were arrested.
Yet, Catalonians were able to preserve their unique
culture and bring it back through democratic methods
after the Franco reign ended.
