Research does not always mean
spending hours in a laboratory,
Worden said. It also includes
scholarly and creative activities.
As a result, there is a wide range
of existing research projects
conducted here at CSUSM.
Biology professors Thomas
Wahlund and Betsy Read, for
example, are currently heading
a project that studies how certain
single-celled m arine algae make
coccoliths, which are concretelike structures made f rom
calcium carbonate. If they can
figure out how the algae makes
these structures, that information
could b e used to improve medical
devices such as heart monitors
and scaffolding supports for bone
transplants.
Wahlund compared finding
the right gene(s) to " kind of like
(finding) a needle in a haystack,
but we've got lots of hay."
Another research project, led
by Nancy Caine, a psychology
professor that studies animal
behavior, takes things outdoors.
Since 1992, Caine has been
involved with the Center for
Reproduction of Endangered
Species (CRES). In an area
located behind the Wild A nimal
Park, Caine studies G eoffroy's
marmosets, which are Brazilian
primates.
On the cultural side, classes
taught by anthropology professor
Bonnie Bade and computer arts
professor Deborah Small work
with the San Luis Rey Band of
Luiseno Indians. " The goal of
our project is to show the vitality
of the Luiseno culture today,"
Small said.
O ften, research projects are
made possible through grants.
There are two t ypes of grants:
"We're

internal and external. Internal
grants are f unds contributed
by the Provost and the Cal
State system, and they are
given directly to the faculty for
research.
External grants can come f rom
other outside organizations and
government agencies, such as
the National Institute of Health,
which f unds Wahlund and Read's
genetics project.
" Our faculty are very active
in pursuing external grants,"
Worden said. She estimates that
each year, CSUSM faculty and
s taff d raft about $20 million in
grant proposals, and receive
about $5 million in new money.
Other faculty members, such
as Nancy Caine, do not need
grant money to conduct their
research projects.

on campus," Caine said. The
amount of research a f aculty
member conducts varies among
instructors and departments.
" It's something that f aculty
and department chairs work out
every semester," Worden said.
Sometimes this means f aculty
must conduct research during
the summer, holidays, and
weekends.
" [The project] engages a great
deal of my time and energy,"
Deborah Small said, noting that it
was also extremely rewarding to
work and f orm relationships with
the members of the Band. She
also noted that at times, she and
her students would t urn o ff their
cameras to stop and cultivate
plants with the people they were
filming.
For some faculty, research is
not separate f rom teaching, but
:
closely linked. " The primary
benefit [of research] is that
it m akes our f aculty better
teachers," Worden said. "It
makes them experts in their
field, and o ur students are the
beneficiaries."
I n addition to f aculty members
gaining expertise, many students
benefit because they are directly
involved with these projects.
"Since [research] all involves
students," Wahlund said, "it's

Caine called working with
CRES as an opportunity many
students do not get, and said
it is "something many young

College of Arts and Sciences anticipates budget cuts
T HE P RIDE
Tuesday, AprilJO, 2004
BY KYLE OTTO
Pride Staff Writer
Serving approximately 69
percent of the total CSUSM
student enrollment, the college
of arts and sciences at CSUSM
is bracing against an anticipated
$500,000 budget reduction in
addition to cumulative fiscal year
2003-04 cuts of approximately
$1.5 million.
All told, cuts will result in
350 to 400 fewer freshmen and
transfer students to be accepted
in 2004-05. The majority of
enrollment reductions will affect
incoming freshman classes.
Besides enrollment reductions,
the college will need to offer
fewer courses and eliminate
lecturers for 2004-05, said
college Interim Dean Vicki
Golich last Wednesday.
Concerning course offerings,
Associate Dean for Budget and
Operations Ranjeeta Ghiara said,
"We've been very deliberate
about trying to anticipate where
the student need is the greatest,
and trying to ensure that
resources are flowing to those
areas. We are always trying to
see where the greatest number of
students can be served best."
Out o f600 sections, the college
anticipates 40 fewer offerings in
the coming year, said Golich.
Ghiara detailed the effect of
OPIATES ,from page 1

emphasized their use of heroin
as a sedative and a cough
suppressant.
Many movies have been made
to show what happens when
people develop an addiction to
opiates, the most common being
heroin. For example, in the movie
"Trainspotting" by Irving Welsh
and John Hodge, there is a scene
that shows what it would feel like
to have to "kick the habit." Even
the phrase "kicking the habit"
comes f rom the exaggerated
twitching caused by the drug
exiting the body's system.
A man named Mark Dillon
created a web site aiming to repel
children from drugs.
Brand names for opiates are
slightly different, according to
Dillon, because of the people
who use the term; scientists
and scholars refer to opiates as
Opium, Codeine, Morphine,
Heroin and Methadone.
Not only does he provide
accurate
information
about
opiates, but also he provides
extensive information about
legal and illegal drugs at
www.sayno.com.
Opius exotic, the sight is
pleasing, and the effects are
euphorically fatal if they are
abused or immensely relieving if
the instructions are followed.
Kellogg Library evacuated
BY ROGER NARANJO
Pride Staff Writer
The whistling sound of smoke
alarms echoed throughout the
Kellogg
Library
Thursday
evening, causing the evacuation
of all three floors.
Students on the library's first
floor didn't know what to make
of the ear piercing sound and
flashing strobe lights.
Isidro
Zamora, a CSUSM student,
said, "I thought it was just
another fire drill." Around him
were several other students who
didn't acknowledge the alarm as
threatening until the intercom
instructed them to evacuate the
premises.
Some
students

organized their items, while
other fled for the doors leaving
back packs and books. Within
minutes of the fire alarm, two
officers made their entrance

said Ghiara.
Ghiara explained the benefit
of the self-support summer
session policy, which provides
for zero state funding support
and essentially privatizes costs,
saying, "This allows us to take

summer and offer more courses

While Trujillo was teaching

conducted that demonstrated a

amount of opiate-like molecules
(called endogenous opioids)
produced by that person's brain.

will change jobs 8 to 10 times
in their lifetime; therefore, they
must also prepare for changes.
Next they must do their
homework by exploring all
prospective employers. Sources
that are available to them are
websites, libraries and other
search engines. The CATSS
website is www.csusm.edu/
CATSS.
Statistics show that an
employer spends 4 to7 seconds
when viewing a resume for the
first time. The resume is the first
chance to highlight your assets
and abilities, so it must be brief
and concise.
The career and transfer center
encourages all students to bring
in their resume to critique which
is done in 24 hours. Once your
resume is completed and critique
it can be posted on a website.
The career and transfer center
also helps prepare students for
interviewing by conducting
mock interviews.
Once all this preparation is
completed, students need to talk
with each other and explore the
hidden job market where j obs are
available only by word of mouth.
Five to six hundred other people
had similar encounters at the 90
booths set up for companies and
organizations like the U.S. Army
and GEICO Direct.
While
some
students
experienced success as they
walked through the Job and
Resource Fair 2004 that the
Career and Transfer Student
Services Center (CATSS) hosted,
others felt a little less fortunate.
Joel Schwartz, an undecided
freshman, carrying the f ree pens
and pencils recruiters had given
him, said he was looking for part
time seasonal summer work, and
that the fair wasn't really set
up for people his age. Another
student said there was too much
part time work presented and not
enough career opportunities.
It was evident that the job
seeker's confidence and outlook
toward the job fair had an
influence on success.
Rosa Arguelles, a junior in
the college of business, said she
found possibilities with Wells

If a company doesn't have
a certain job, its recruiters
can probably point to another

To offset the effects of budget

relying partially on "fundable
feasible projects," or providing
channels through which outside
agencies

contribute
financially.
"There will be corporate
people in the community that
will see a d irect relationship to

out of this university - they may
be willing and able to donate

of the four independent budget
reductions to the college in the
past year, saying, "Last year we

Here are several steps of
preparing to enter the j ob market.
Self-assessment is important.
It's imperative for students to
know what they want out of life.
What are their strengths and
weaknesses? What skills and
abilities do they have to offer the
employer and, most importantly,
what is their ability to articulate
those abilities to sell themselves
to the employer?
Security.
"It was a great chance to meet
people for making connections,"
Arguelles said. Granted that
only limited jobs are available at
a job fair, Pam Wells, associate
director for the CATSS said
that "everybody is a potential

While the j ob fair is not to be
c onfused with a career fair, it
does give students an eye into the
working world. Jessica Brooks, a
non-student f rom San Diego has
j ust that. She said she's been to
15 j ob fairs in the past month and
found the fair a "very promising
experience."
A s the wind calmed and the fair
came to a close, Brooks walked
away with resumes, notes, and
brochures in her hands. With
the right j ob in mind she said she
would "go home and fill out an

we had a little cushion going

we've used every last penny, we

basically means that the budget
cuts affect us even more, because
we don't have a cushion."
The Environment needs your help!
In 2001, the E PA reported that 3.5 million pounds of
chemical waste was generated by tobacco manufacturing.
1 in 8 trees worldwide are cut down and used for tobacco
growing or curing.
A total of 300 cigarettes are produced from one tree.
16 applications of pesticides are recommended in the
three months before the tobacco seed is planted
500,000 acres, of forest are lost to tobacco farming each
year.
20 million people could be fed worldwide if the land used
to grow tobacco grew food instead.

Coffee is a
worldwide
product, second only to oil as a
commodity, requiring the labor
of millions of people in nearly 80
countries. The producers, many
small independent farmers,
however, can't sell their coffee
directly to the marketplace.
Given the lack of co-ops, unions,
or other organized groups, they
are forced to sell their beans to
middlemen at prices drastically
below the market price or value
of their harvest.
These organizations, by virtue
oftheir size andpurchasingpower,
then influence the worldwide
price for wholesale beans.
Compounding the problem, many
of the small farmers must go to
the middlemen for pre-harvest
loans, often at high interest rates,
furthering the debt cycle between
the farmer and the middlemen.
The upshot of this apparent
injustice is the "Fair Trade"
coffee movement.
Inspired
by groups such as TradeFair,
Oxfam
Canada,
Oxfam
America and other non-profit
groups committed to seeking
solutions for hunger and poverty
worldwide, it promotes the direct
purchase of coffee beans from
certified Fair Trade producers.
Additionally,
it
encourages
the formation of democratic
cooperatives or associations
controlled by the farmers.
These associations must also
commit to implementing crop
management and environmental
protection plans to ensure the
safety of the environment. Indeed
premiums are offered to those
willing to work towards organic
production.
Dripping more cash on down to the coffee farmer
by cutting out the middleman

most that a million dollar Harry

In fact Harry Winston did not
mine, cut, polish or even set the
diamond. Middlemen did this
and took their cut.
The same can be said for many
commodities that pass through
middlemen on the way to the
consumer. Nevertheless, the
disparity between how much a
producer is able to command
for his product, versus the retail
amount eventually charged for
the product, has never been
greater, or more unjust, than that
facing the small independent
coffee farmer.
According to Oxfam Canada,
of the 25 million coffee
producers, approximately 15
million are small farmers. And

COFFEE
from page 5
In an effort to intercept the
farmers before they cut u nfair
deals with the middlemen,
Fair Trade o ffers the farmer a
guaranteed price for his crop.
In 2000, the price paid by the
middlemen to the farmer was
only .38 cents per pound. Fair
Trade guarantees $1.26 per
pound.
Not all Free Trade claims can
be taken at face value. Recently,
a coffee-roasting company in
Massachusetts, Dean's Beans
Organic
Coffee
Company,
took aim at a popular brand,
Newman's Own Organics, for
being less than t ruthful in its
claim to be a Fair Trade coffee
company. Newman's Own had
recently started its own Fair Trade
Line of coffee, claiming that its
coffee was of Fair Trade origin.
Dean's Beans, which purchased
all 250,000 pounds of its coffee
beans f rom Third World farmers
at prevailing Fair Trade prices,
claims that Newman's Own
merely includes an insignificant
amount of Fair Trade beans in its
mix, so as to use Fair Trade solely
as a marketing ploy.
While it will likely take a
long time to change the buying
patterns of the largest retail
coffee companies in the United
States, some progress is being
made. Universities, such as Tufts,
and Brown are already using Fair
Trade coffee. Starbucks, one of
the largest coffee retailers in the
world, has agreed to implement
a one-year trial with the product
to see if its customers like it.
Locally, The Educated Bean sells
Fair Trade coffee right here on

OPINION
Tuesday, April 20, 2004
THE PRIDE
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Active students
create an active
campus
I 'm responding to the guy who
thinks ASI elections are a sham.
Personally I was aware that you
were able to run for ASI. It was
clearly posted on message boards
around campus.
I don't think you could go
through a day of school and
not pass an announcement that
there were ASI elections. ASI
even gave us chances to run as
a write in. I do not think this is
socialism, this is democracy.
Those who don't participate
in the process will not get their
voice heard. I am disappointed
that there was such a low turn
out of candidates - we lack
university life.
Personally I think this student
was j ust disgruntled because,
like me we were too lazy to
go in to the ASI office, and fill
out an application. I have a
message for all students if you're
interested: RUN, it's not hard.
As for the person who wrote
the article about a proposed cost
of $4 per semester in child care,
I think you should step back and
imagine if you were a college
student with a baby.
If you have a baby you don't
exactly have all the money in the
world. To have a day care that
is close, reliable and cheap will
alleviate tension for the mother
or father. They will then be
more productive and will learn
faster. This is true for all jobs.
If corporations or employers
offered complementary child
care, they would be more
productive because the parent
w on't worry about the kid.
Think of it as an investment.
I 'd like to close by saying
fussing and crying won't do
something, action will, running
for office will.
Please participate in the
process active students create to
make an active campus - it will
be fun and interesting. It will be
the "college experience!"
Felipe Zanartu
undeclared, sophomore
Posting on
boards is not
active enough
Dear Mr.Zanartu:
I'm glad to hear that you were
one of the VERY FEW students
who were privileged to hear
about the ASI elections this year.
I am also aware that messages
were posted on message boards
around the campus. However,
as you should know, student
response is typically low from
anything posted on the message
boards. I know this because of
my own experiences with the
boards.
You are right; I probably
couldn't have gone a day without
passing one of the posted
messages on the boards. Just
because students are "passing
b y" these boards, does not imply
that they are reading them.
This is simply not an efficient
way to reach out to the student
population for an event of this
magnitude. Yes, it is quite
amazing that there are so many
opportunities at our university
that go unfulfilled. What a
shame.
Also, you claim that in order
to complain you must participate.
Where is this written in any
rules? I must have missed that.
Criticism is often a way to
participate in a democracy.
Censorship of criticism is
totalitarianism.
Also, for your information
I DID run for office last year.
I believe that fact, more than
anything, gives me the right to
be critical of the failures of our
current ASI board members.
In exercising my
Constitutional right to freely
express myself, you have
found fault. I find that ironic
considering the club you are a
member of and what it advocates
- PAN.
In closing, you state that
"crying and fussing" won't
do anything, action will. My
response to this as far as the
ASI election is concerned: any
productive ACTIONS taken by
ASI in the first place would have
eliminated any criticism on my
part.
Respectfully,
Austin Myers
Senior, Social Sciences Major
It's not ASI's
fault regarding
election turnout
Dr Mr. Myers:
Thank you for your input. Please
understand I am not trying to
suppress your freedom of speech,
I love free speech.
Some times criticism sounds
like suppression - it certainly
feels like that when I argue over
issues like war and the patriot
act and I am called unpatriotic.
We are better than that, and if
you feel I suppressed your free
speech I am sorry, please forgive
me.
Regarding action, I believe
like you criticism is good. Even
though every time I criticize the
right I am attacked. I understand
their attack is like going on
defense.
Please understand it sucks to
have a student government that
wins unopposed, but it happens
some times even in the local
elections.
However this is not something
you can entirely blame on ASI.
As you know, I stated I f eel this
campus has a serious lack of
campus life. A lot of the time
we have people who don't care
for either side* It sucks, but
Students debate how ASI handled this
year's election
you know there are people who
care about office, and at least in
my opinion, they would look at
the message boards in order t a
change campus policy.
Once again, thank you for your
response. I love debate and I
don't want to live in a totalitarian
regime. In fáct Nick B. (CR's)
and I are organizing a debate
(fair and balanced) to get out the
vote and inform people on our
side of the issues.
I hope we have your blessings
with that event. Thank you once
again for your response.
Respectfiilly,
Felipe Robinson Zañartu
Internal VP, Historian, PANews
Help would
be better than
criticism
accountability would've
resonated with you since y ou're
a republican and that's one of
republicanisms core principles
- but I guess I was wrong.
You suggest that your antics
have somehow "enraged" me
- nothing could be further from
the truth.
On the one hand, your letters
make me laugh.
On the other hand, your letters
make me sad because they are
indicative of the poison that
has seeped into the American
democratic process. What I
mean is that, too often not only
in our politics but in our lives,
when people have a problem
with something, they somehow
feel their civic duty is upheld
by doing nothing more than
nay-saying, when what is really
needed is that they engage
their political leaders with not
only their nay-saying, but their
suggestions for how their world
could be improved for the benefit
of all in the future.
If anything, I think anyone
looking at our two letters next
to each other would see that it is
you, not I, who is "enraged."
Maybe if you hadn't bottled
up all your ideas for how the
elections could've been better
promoted during the process, you
wouldn't currently be harboring
all that psychologically
unhealthy anger.
You might want to do
something about that.
"Respectfully"
Your #1 Fan,
Erik Roper
Austin,
I didn't attack you. I merely
pointed out a glaring irony in
your exercise of free speech. I
never said you weren't entitled
to your opinion either. Also, you
are incorrect in asserting that it
is my job to inform the students
about elections.
It is a task for the entire board
of directors, with the effort
typically being spearheaded by
the ASI Elections Committee.
But, you would've known that if
you had ever bothered to engage
ASI with your concerns about
the degree of elections publicity
at any time during the process.
Additionally, with regard to the
first sentence of your most recent
"respectfully" rendered message
to me, I never asserted that it was
your j ob to publicize the election.
I was merely pointing out that
your passion for this issue seems
highly incongruent with your

and the others that joined me.I

of my privacy and I am angry
about that.
As far as my need to

"psychologically unhealthy
anger," I have none Mr. Roper.
Are you playing a game of
"Blame the Victim"?
I am quite pleased with the
responses I have received from
you and others regarding this
issue and I believe that I have
made a contribution by bringing
awareness to the topic at hand.
Mr. Roper, do you not also bring
awareness to social wrongs via
protest?
As I recall you did protest the
College Republicans SUV show
last year and no one criticized
your act of protest. However,
when I protest in order to bring
awareness, it is wrong. This is
"highly incongruent."
As far as there being enough
advertising for the election, I was
not even aware one was going
on until an article was printed in
The Pride about the candidates
all running unopposed. Perhaps,
advertising was the same as last
year: minimal. But I suppose that
is what we have come to expect
of our ASI leaders: minimal
effort for towards truly "student
relevant" issues.
ASI should have been aware
of the need to step it up a notch
when they noticed that only a
few candidates were applying.
With all this said, I am glad
that my effort to publicize my
criticisms has brought awareness
to the issue. That was my sole
purpose and I thank you for
allowing me to accomplish that.
Respectfully,
Austin Myers
Any last words?
Personally, I find it ironic that
while Myers spent considerable
time over the last two weeks lambasting ASI for how we, in his
view, poorly publicized the election, he spent zero time on suggesting ways we could improve
the process for next year. Once
again, thanks for nothing Austin!

No cell phones in the

BY CLAUDE SAYF
Pride Staff Writer
Cell phone mania has officially
spread like a plague through the
United States.
Every American has a cell
phone and uses it everywhere,
including public bathroom stalls
and while driving and writing
at the same time. People can't
afford to miss a call these days.
But nowhere is talking,
whether on a cell phone or with
a friend, more disrespectful than
in the library. When I say, "in
the library", that includes the
computer lab.
The library is a sanctuary
from the hustle and bustle of
everyday life. People go to the
library to have some peace and
quiet while enjoying a book or
educating themselves on a topic
of their choice.
But Kellogg Library seems
to be oblivious to that. People
have absolutely no respect for the
fact that rule number one in any
library in the world is QUIET!
I think this rule is pretty well
known and well established. speak on your phone, as is the

At „first
glance, the
headline
" Vandalism forces
Lounge
closure"
4 oes not
appea r
to
be
problematic.
Indeed,
the
accompanying photograph of a
couch sliced open exposing the
fluffy goodness of its cushioning would tend to support the
headline. However, i s this
case, thus far, an example of
actual vandalism?
The California Penal Code
defines vandalism and its
penalty in section 594. This
definition is as follows: "Every
person who maliciously commits any of the following acts
with respect to any real or
personal property not his or
her own, in cases other than
those specified by state law,
is guilty of vandalism: (1)
Defaces with graffiti or other
inscribed material, (2) Damages, (3) Destroys."
For vandalism t o occur, an
individual must "maliciously"
deface, damage or destroy
property not his or her own.
This element has not been
proven, a s of yet, in the case of
the lounge couch.
As I write this column, no
person has been charged or
even implicated with vandalism for the gash in the lounge
couch. In fact, it has not yet
been determined if there was
malicious intent involved in
this incident or if this hap-
should be quiet enough for the
tired and burnt out student to
catch a quick catnap. A place
where the sound of pages turning and computers clicking fills
the hallways. A place where all
cultures meet for the purpose of
higher education. A place where
knowledge rules and ignorance
drools. The point at hand here
is being quiet in the library. The
computer lab should be reserved
for quiet computer time. People
need quiet to focus on the task at
hand which I 'm sure is the same
for all students. Graduate and get
out as soon as possible. So quiet
down people!

A s the lead for this article,
staff writer Kyle Otto writes
that this is "an incident of
suspected vandalism." That
statement is subsequently
supported by the presentation
of the contrasting interpretations of the incident by ASI
VP of External A ffairs, Erik
Roper, and Executive VP, John
Gehris. Clearly, it is presumptive to identify this episode as
a definite case of vandalism.
This example is a reminder
of how specific words can
alter the reality of a situation.
A s journalists, we constantly
have t o reexamine the words
that we choose to describe
events, crimes or whatever we
are reporting on. If we do not
exercise a degree of caution in
our word choice, we can affect
the perception of the subject
we are reporting o n in a
h armful or fallacious manner.
Those types of mistakes often
prove costly as libel lawsuits
are likely to follow.

T he headline for Kyle Otto's

The article, "Cesar Estrada

Chargers butting heads with city
BY ROGER NARANJO
Pride Staff Writer
The City of San Diego and
the Chargers are in a stalemate,
which could take several years of
litigation to resolve. Mixed reactions in the community have both
sides struggling to gain favor
among fans.
The Chargers claim they have
not been competitive because
the current stadium venue isn't
bringing in the required revenue
when compared t o other NFL
franchises. The city of San Diego
feels the Chargers are obligated
to their contractual use agreement of 1995, which states they
must play their home games here
in San Diego until 2020 and give
the City 10 percent of the gross
stadium income. In return the
city spent more than $78 million
on stadium improvements and a
new Chargers practice facility.
Who's right and who's wrong?
On March 4, 2003, the Chargers
delivered a renegotiation notice
to the city of San Diego claiming a "triggering event" had
occurred. This means that the
Chargers are able to shop a
different venue if their financial
situation falls below a certain
threshold in regard to salary
caps, NFL broadcasting revenue
and stadium gate receipts.
Both the Chargers and the city
disagree on the meaning of the
phrase "triggering event." As a
result parties are at odds whether
a "triggering event" exists, and if
so, the subject matter and scope
of the required negotiation to
avoid litigation. The city of
San Diego would like to reach
an agreement outside of court
which would benefit both parties,
Kir c ampus,
Our voice,
Take Pride

however, neither side is willing to
come to that half point yet.
The city, however, demands
that the Chargers open their
financial books to reconcile the
disparity, but the Chargers don't
quite see it that way. The city of
San Diego claims there is insufficient information t o determine
if an "impact" exists, since the
Chargers aren't opening up their
financial books.
Go Chargers! With a losing
record of 4-12 last season, there is
mixed reaction in the community
whether the San Diego Chargers
should get a new stadium or not.
Andrew Middleton, a student
here at CSUSM said, "I think
there's a better way the city can
spend their money, dealing with
the homeless situation is a good
example."
According to the NFL, the city
of San Diego has seen its last
Super Bowl unless a new stadium
is built.
Jesse Wood, a student here at
CSUSM, believes the Chargers
should get a new stadium built,
"Yeah, because I think the
Chargers generate a lot of money
for San Diego."
Currently, the city of San Diego
and the San Diego Chargers, are
in closed negotiation, which
would end the ticket guarantee
and place a ballot proposal for
2008.

Would you like a free semester of tuition? How about
free books or a parking permit? Well, now's your
chance! The California State Student Association
(CSS A), your statewide student government, is currently
holding a contest titled the "CSSA Challenge." If you
go to www.csustudents.org and answer five simple
questions you'll have your chance. And, if you don't
win the contest don't worry because your Associated
Students is looking out for you. This past weekend we
(Manal Yamout and Shannon Barnett, President and
VP external affairs elect) attended the monthly CSSA
conference hosted by San Francisco State. While at
the conference we discussed several issues that could
have drastic impacts on the quality of your education
and the amount of money in your pocket. These issues
ranged from a CSSA sponsored bill aimed at reducing
textbook costs to the statewide student walkout planned
for April 26th. It's wrong for the state government to
balance the budget on the backs of students. That is
why we need you to join us in walking out, getting on
the bus, and protesting any further increase in our fees.
On Monday, April 26th at 9:00am come down to Craven
circle by the flag poles to get on the bus and join us
in telling the Governor not to raise our fees. Sign up
to get on the bus in the ASI office, Commons 207, or

�Bowling for a buck may bring it back (cdreview)
By TOM PFINGSTEN
Pride Staff Writer
On the list of activities popular
with college students, where
does bowling rank? Obviously
nowhere close to sleeping, but
somewhere above homework.
Most likely invented by men
to check out the women they've
been dragging along ever since,
bowling has fallen out of vogue
within the last decade. But
lane locations such as the Vista
Entertainment
Center
hope
to reel in at least a part of the
college crowd with promotions
offering discounted rates on
shoes, games and food.
At the Vista Entertainment
Center, "Dollar Tuesdays"
are designed to draw students
f rom local colleges by renting
shoes for a dollar, selling games
for a dollar apiece and, at the
snack bar, cooking up dollar
food specials. A valid student
I.D. is required to take advantage of the special rates,
which run from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. and again from 9
p.m. to midnight every
Tuesday.
With the proliferation of bright,
new bowling centers
charging four or five
dollars per game, older
lanes have found
that offering good
deals is a good
way to revive
business. And
a dollar per
sidering that
f ull price is
$3.75 at the
Vista Entertainment
Center.
Dollar Tuesdays draw a
unique crowd, to say the
least. Well less than half of
t h e bowlers last
Tuesd ay
w ere
from
Cal State
San Marcos
or other local
college campuses.
The rest of the
patrons reflected the
diversity of Vista, with
skill levels ranging f rom bumper
bowlers to would be pros, complete with the post-strike strut
(think rooster with a beer belly).
Décor in the Vista Entertainment Center heralds back to the
glory days of bowling, when
games were only a dollar to begin
with. Yellow and orange letters
accent the brown signs and walls
in this seventies, western-themed
bowling alley complete with a
men's bathroom labeled "Studs."
Along the back of the lanes,
box seats sit eerily empty, a
strange sight for college students
used to scavenging for an empty
desk. The lanes themselves show
signs of good maintenance, and
the rest of the equipment is in
good condition.
The
Vista
Entertainment
Center also has a recently renovated laser tag room, a sports bar
and a banquet hall, although none
of these are included during
Dollar Tuesdays.
To help determine where bowling stands in the list of popular
student activities, the usual

questions apply: Is it convenient?
Is it cheap? Besides being both
of these, Dollar Tuesdays provide
a side-trip into a sub-culture
seldom explored by college
students (think mullets, tattoos
and slippery shoes).

Student band
Angel Carry Me
lives among us
By ALLISON SANSBURY
Pride Staff Writer
They could be sitting next
to you in class. You have your
suspicions but you can't be sure.
Black t-shirt. Tight jeans. Chuck
Taylors. It is true. There are
rock-stars on campus.
Seth Gretlein and Andrew
Middleton, two talented students
from CSUSM have started a
brand new band and they call
themselves Angel Carry Me.
Their sound is harder than the
common interpretation of punk
music but not quite death metal.
Their vocals sound like a lower
toned Davey Havok of AFI.
They generate powerful drums
and bass sounds that cause the
ground to rumble, feet to shake
and bodies to move.
Gretlein, a 22 year old junior
majoring in Communications has
more energy than the Energizer
Bunny. Even after studying for
school and working on campus,
Seth can still beat the drums
faster and better than certain
musicians who strive to be the
best.
Music will always be a part of
Gretlein's life. He used to work
at Warehouse music, until it was
shut down due to the bittersweet
technological
development
known so profoundly as: the
Internet.
"The Warehouse was awesome," Gretlein says.
His job consisted primarily
of helping customers find and
purchase music but there weren't
always customers in the store.
With an open and sometimes
empty music store equipped with
a top of the line sound system and
a five disk CD changer Gretlein
spent his time consuming mass
amounts of music.

Stuck in limbo between pop
and soft punk, Sugarcult tries to
please both sides of the genre.
Their new album entitled, "Palm
Trees and Power Lines," is punk
pop with no edge. The sound is
typical MTV material which is
reminiscent of the "American
Pie" soundtrack.
Drum lines build to climactic
crescendos one can anticipate
with little enthusiasm. The guitar
r iffs are standard, redundant
power chords which bands like
Blink-182 and Green Day have
already done and surpassed.
The singer harmonizes well
with the guitar melodies and
back up vocals; however, he is
overpowered by the use of lyrical
clichés. One song recites "She's
the blade and you're j ust paper."
Though this band is musically

With so many careers out there
in a place academia calls the 'real

deciding which major to choose
from, let alone choosing a career.
Whether it's the passion, perseverance, or financial security that
drives college students to succeed
in their academic and professional
endeavors, the experience can be
a stressful and confusing one as

Teddy bears have brought joy to children
since Teddy Roosevelt's time, and for 16
years they have been popular with the San
Diego Regional Law Enforcement. In 1993
a single officer from the Coronado Police
Department loaded his police car with 12
brand new teddy bears and drove to what
was known as Children's Hospital to deliver
the teddy bears to the sick and injured children.

animals travel to the Coronado Community
Center. From there, the teddy bears are
delivered to Rady Children's Hospital. As
tradition, the officers will walk inside the
hospital in full uniform with teddy bears in
hand, awaiting the smiling faces of children
as they hand out the bears.
Last year, CSUSM helped to donate 430
bears. A large sum of money was also
donated to the Campus Police which made

This Thanksgiving, ASI
is contributing to the community through their annual
Turkey Basket Drive in which
they have sought out students who will donate turkey
baskets for families in need.
Through Paloma Elementary
School and The Early Learning Center, ASI has contacted
16 families in need and on
Thanksgiving, these families
will enjoy a pleasant meal.
This year will mark the sixth
year ASI has taken part in the
Turkey Basket Drive. According to ASI's Student Coordinator of Activities, Sara Gallegos, "It gives the CSUSM
community a chance to give
back to the families in need
around the area," she says.
When ASI assigned each
student a family, they included
the age and gender make-up
of each family member. Each
student signed up is expected
to cover the cost of a turkey in
the form of a gift card, as well
as other non perishables that
would add to a nice Thanksgiving meal. On November 21,
ASI will collect the baskets
and deliver them to the Early
Learning Center where an
ELC employee will deliver the
baskets to the families.

Women's Soccer 2006 Season Heview: A Terrific Turnaround
Sitting at 1-6 halfway through
the fall, the inaugural Cal State
San Marcos women's soccer team
appeared to be headed the same
direction that most 'expansion
teams' go in theirfirstseason.
Coach Ron Pulvers, who before
the season believed his squad
would be very competitive from
day one, saw them struggle to get
off the starting block. The Cougars were outscored 14-3 in those
first seven games, and clearly were
having trouble buying into the
system and playing together.
But with their backs against the
wall, the Cougar women refused
to fold. Seemingly from nowhere,
they started playing much better in
all phases of the game.
The first evidence of this came
in the eighth game of the season,
where the Cougars outplayed La
Sierra University but still found
themselves headed into overtime
with the game knotted at 2. While
the squad might have been discouraged by this earlier in the year, the
Cougars came together to get the
result they believed they deserved.
Off the overtime kickoff, Courtney Drummond, who had scored
the squad's first two goals of the
match, volleyed a pass from Kelly
Wherry into the net, putting an
official end to the Cougars' sluggish start to the season.
After "turning the corner" in that
game, the women would continue
to build momentum. They went 62-1 in their final nine games, finishing the year with a respectable
7-8-1 record; which, as Coach Pulvers points out, could have easily
been much better without some
late blown leads.
What was the turning point?
According to the players, it was not
a single event, but rather the collective realization that they could
indeed trust and rely on each other,
and that being a true "team" was
key to success. They began hanging out more outside of soccer,
genuinely enjoying each others'
.company and bonding with one
another. In the words of Drummond, "it all clicked" as this was
happening. Coach Pulvers wholeheartedly agrees:
"It took the girls a while to come
out of their shells and get along," he
says. "Midway through the season
they caught on. That's when we
started playing better."
2006 was indeed a tale of two
teams for Pulvers. As the squad
developed, early-season frustration was replaced with pride, as
well as optimism about the team's
potential for next year. Players
grew into their roles, leaders began
to emerge, and the team became a
lot of fun to watch. Indeed, the joy
of following the Cougars this year
was in watching a group of individual players come together as a
team.

Men's Soccer 2006 Season Review: Roaring past expectations
R u l fvlp TrAmKlpif
By Kyle Trembley
It's easy to look back on the
2006 men's soccer season and play
the "what if" game.
After all, while the squad was
a sparkling 12-3-1 on the year
and undeniably one of the best in
the region, when the time came
to announce the playoffs, the
Cougars were left on the outside
looking in. What if the team had
won in just once in those three
losses? What if they hadn't tied
Chapman College late in the
season? What if the playoffs
weren't structured in a way that
allotted a maximum of one slot
to independent teams?
But focusing on those questions
unfairly draws attention away from
the fact that it was truly an amazingfirstseason for men's soccer at
Cal State San Marcos.
Coach Ron Pulvers sums it up:
"If you would've made a deal
with me before the season saying
that we'd go 12-3-1 but miss the
playoffs, I would've taken it in a
second."
That's because going into the
year, nobody knew what to expect.
Aided by Assistant Coaches Bobby
Renneisen and Davy Phillips, Coach
Pulvers recruited a group of guys
- mostly freshmen - during last
spring, in the hopes that they'd come
together by the season's beginning.
But in training camp and preseason,
the squad's performance was decidedly underwhelming. They were
fast, yes, but didn't appear to be playing with enough passion or toughness to compete at a high level
Then, after a hard-fought road
loss at Cal Baptist in their first
game, the Cougars came home to
i.
participate in the f£ X
irst-ever i•ntercollegiate sporting event held at
Cal State San Marcos. On August
25th, the squad entered Mangrum
Field to take on heavily-favored
Cal Poly Pomona. An unexpectedly large and rowdy crowd of fans
came down from the University
Village to cheer on the Cougars,
and President Karen S. Haynes as
well as other key CSUSM figures
were in attendance.
What they saw was a Cougar
squad that came together in front
of their eyes. With the game tied
at l-l in thefinalminute, freshman
forward Michael Nuovo outran the
Pomona defense to a loose ball,
and tucked it under the keeper to
give the Cougars a very dramatic
first win in the program's history.
They'd never look back. Following the Pomona victory, the squad
rattled off six straight wins, outscoring their opponents by a total of
2l-l. Thefinalgame in that stretch
was a 1-0 win against Point Loma
Nazerene, a nationally-ranked
school in the NAIA. Though the
Cougars fell in overtime to Vanguard the following match, they

to close out the season.
But the question remains: How did
the team gofrommoderate expectations (at best) right before the season
to a 12-3-1 record on the year?
Accoring to Coach Pulvers, it
was all about team chemistry.
"The season is a sprint, not a
marathon," says Pulvers. "Ï underestimated how quickly the guys
would get along. They genuinely
liked each other and bought in to
our system."

look further than Ben Crouse. For
thefirstthree years of his collegiate
playing career, Crouse competed
at the University of Notre Dame,
starting on their defense for most
of his junior season. His arrival at
CSUSM gave the program instant
credibility; and more importantly,
gave the young squad a leader.
"Benny [Crouse] was the key,"
remarked Pulvers. "His experience and personality brought the
team together."
Crouse anchored the group both
on and off the field, and his vocal
leadership combined with his willingness to buy into the coaches'
system set the tone early for the
younger members of the squad.
Crouse, a senior, was appointed
captain early on by Coach Pulvers,
because (in Pulvers' words) "it was a
no-brainef." On the season, Crouse
recorded 5 goals and 2 assists, and
was named to the All-Region team
- no small feat, given that CSUSM
is not even in a conference.
While Crouse brought leadership and rock-solid play, it was
up to the freshmen to provide
the flare - and they delivered.
Forwards Michael Nuovo and
Curtis Marcikic drove opposing
defenses crazy with their speed
and creativity. Nuovo, whose
ability to weave through defenders produced some of the squad's
most impressive plays of the year,
finished second on the team with
9 goals. He also recorded the program'sfirst-everhat trick in a loss

provided the attack with muchneeded size, tacked on 6 more

Pride Staff Writer
Delicious.com or del.icio.us is
a part of the new era of websites
dubbed Web 2.0. Delicious.com
refers to itself as a "social bookmarking website."
Joshua Schachter created the
website in 2003. The website
started out as a way to share
online bookmarks with friends
and eventually grew into del.icio.
us.com Inc. in 2005. Also in 2005
Yahoo became a financial contributor to further the success of
the website.
r The website consists of bookmarks that are available to all
Users. Users can create personalized lists of their favorite links.
Other users can view and copy
lists from other users. The website also hosts a "what's hot"
category on the homepage for
always replenishing and refreshing lists of the latest hot links.

"[The election] reminded me of
the World Series", said Bill Maher
on Larry King Live on November
9th. Maher continues, "The St.
Louis Cardinals didn't really win,
the Detroit Tigers lost... That's
sort of where the Democrats are.
Let's see if you can win an election against a party that hasn't disgraced itself so horribly iri every
single way a party could disgrace

The website requires users
to create an account and install
two buttons on their internet tool
bar. These buttons allow for the
swiftness and ease of adding new
bookmarks to their lists. Users
then tag bookmarks by assigning
words that comprise the bookmark. For example, csusm.edu
could be assigned tags such as
Cougar, The Pride, San Marcos,
The Dome, etc.
Tim O'Riley is credited with
creating the phrase, "Web 2.0".
The term began when O'Riley
used Web 2.0 as the title for a
series of conferences held during
2004.
Web 2.0 generally refers to a
second generation of websites.
The new era for the internet consists of social networking sites
and communication tools. Web
2.0 focuses on the user of the
internet as the contributor of
information. Together users form
a type of informational network
that other users benefit from.
Web 2.0 seems to be a community on the internet.
Other examples of Web 2.0 are
wikipedia.com, myspace.com,
youtube.com, and amazon.com.
These sites all have one thing
in common: that users can contribute to the website, enriching,
the content that other users can
potentially benefit from.
Although Web 2.0 is the
common term used for the new
breed of websites, many people
and technological companies
are skeptical of the phrase for
numerous reasons. Some people
argue that by labeling these
new web sites 2.0 implies that
the new era is merely un update
version of original or common
websites such AOL 9.0 and AOL
10.0. They argue that Web 2.0
should be labeled entirely different.
Others have labeled Web 2.0
as a buzzword that has negative
the U.S. House of Representatives
or the Senate.
The election of a Democratic
majority prompted the resignation
of Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld. Editors of the Army,
Navy, Air Force and Marine times
called for this resignation in a
November 4th editorial. This editorial stated that "Donald Rumsfeld m ust go. ..Rutiisfeld has lost
credibility with the uniformed
leadership, with the troops, with
Congress and with the public at
large... [Rumsfeld's] strategy,"
says the Army times, "has failed,
and his ability to lead is compro-
mised. And although the blame
for our failures in Iraq rests with
the secretary, it will be the troops
who bear its brunt." Some conservatives argue that Rumsfeld's
departure will do nothing to fix
the stalemate. "The issue isn't
Rumsfeld, it's Bush and the prosecution of this war," said conservative talk show host and former
San Diego Mayor Roger Hedgecock during an election night
interview. "

effects. Some people accuse websites of labeling themselves 2.0 to
generate hype and in return produce more money. Others are also
accused of labeling their website

The combination of the new

�Letters to the Editor:
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Sports Writer
If you know
me, then you
know it isn't a
huge stretch for
me to cover things
other than sports.
Last Tuesday, I
covered the San
Diego General Elections for "The
Associated Press." It was the second
time I covered an election day, and this
time I learned a lot more than the first
time. I also had a lot more fun since I
got to cover it with my friend, Chantai Pasag, whose experience about the
night is also detailed.
I covered the Primary Élections in
June for the "AP" and it was a terrifying experience, because I was so concerned with not screwing up. This time
I had an idea of what was expected, so I
was able to learn a lot about the behind
the scenes type stuff involved with
elections. I had the opportunity to ven- *
ture into some rooms that many will
never see, and meet some very interesting people.
Around 2 AM, we were taken into
the wherehouse where all the ballots
and machines are taken from trucks
and transported down an assembly
line of people, eventually leading to
the tabulation room. I felt like I was
miniaturized, placed into some sort of
a machine, witnessing gears operate
and function like nothing I had seen
before.
I met David Morten when I covered
the Primaries. I am not quite sure what
his official title is, but he is good at his
job. He passed the time with us past
3AM. He made the wee hours of the
morning much more enjoyable as he
provided someone to crack jokes with.
I have never been comfortable around
police officers or sheriffs, so you can
imagine my discomfort when we spent
most of the night around five sheriffs.
I think they could see my discomfort,
but by the end of the night we were all
buddies.
The security at the registrar of voter's building is quite intense. Even the
lowest people in the bureaucracy question who you are, which led to me getting in some arguments, as you can
imagine me with my "don't take crap"
personality.
Chantal and I have been members of
the media for some time now, but this
provided an opportunity to meet some
new people in our profession. I met
Sasha Foo from KUSI, a co-worker of
Chantal's, who was very nice. I also
met Carlo Cecchetto from KFMB
News eight, who is a fellow Lakers fan,
and had a lot of advice to offer about
the T.V. media business.
Since voting is a right and responsibility that people often times take for
granted, it was great to feel like an
important part of the process.

BY CHANTAL PASAG
Special to The Pride
I have to admit I was "riding the high
horse" this past Election Day as I had
the privilege to work for one of the most
prominent news sources in the nation,
"The Associated Press." That night, the
polls were about to close, and the line
was still around the building. Unfortunately, for some last minute voters,
they were cut off from trying to perform their civic duty. The way that some
people react under stress is the way a
voting machine reacts when being tampered with... they go ballistic. Under
the pressures of voting, one woman proclaimed that "voting is not a right, it's a
responsibility!" Recalling what she said
post Election Day provoked the thought
of the media's responsibility to report
the number of voting machine glitches
county wide, statewide, and nation wide.
Fortunatelyrthe resignation of Donald
Rumsfeld and the democratic take over
of the house and senate saturated headlines. Of course it should, because that's
huge! But what about the glitches?
Apparently there were some problems at
a polling location of a CSUSM professor.
She says her husband got to vote twice
because of technical difficulties with
the machines. The "San Diego Union
Tribune" reported on the matter saying
glitches were reported in dozens of precincts earlier that day. Apparently, voters
became frustrated as they were unable
to use computerized voting machines
and were "forced to use paper ballots
instead."
The role that I played election night, a
reporter for the AP San Diego division,
was pertinent to the entire election process. Just as the media, particularly television plays a pertinent role as an information outlet to our society. Most people
look for convenience when it comes to
information, but convenience lacks relevant information. So, not only is it our
civic responsibility to vote, but it's our
responsibility to seek out various news
sources rather than relying on one.
I've come down from my high horse
since that night. The entire experience
was very interesting. I got to converse
with sheriff investigators about taser
guns and I-pods, which was an unusual
mix of small talk. Also, some cronies
from my everyday job at KUSI stopped
by for their live shots at the registrar of
voter's office. I also had the chance to
briefly chat with Carlo Cecchetto from
KFMB channel eight.
It's a nice dose of reality to know
that most of the professionals I talked
with had a good sense of humor. For the
people in this industry, having a sense of
humor is what keeps them sane, as the
news can sometimes disconnect them
from human suffering. As former comedian Victor Borge said, "Laughter is the
shortest distance between two people."

�Beer of the Week
Lightning Kolsch
BY MARY FOLEY
Pride StaffWriter
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
I'm not really a drinker.
I'm past my kegger days,
and at restaurants when
everyone else orders a
beer, I order a pop. So
you could imagine my
surprise last week, when I tasted the Lightning
Kolsch and actually liked it. A beer!? That I like!
Lightning Kolsch doesn't leave that aftertaste in
your mouth that leads you to wonder, "Why am I
drinking this?" It tastes sweet, but not too sweet
like a frou-frou fruity mixed drink. Also, it's
locally brewed, so you'll be supporting the community! So if you're still searching for a beer
that you enjoy the taste of, Lightning Kolsch is a
great choice.
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride StaffWriter
Housed with authentic German-styled
brewing machinery, the beers Lightning
Brewery makes are tasty and cheerful.
Gearing up to celebrate their annual
'Lightning Fest'. at Churchills this Thursday, November 16, there will be plenty of
Lighting Kolsch to go around. Coming in at a low 4.6% alcohol
by volume, this beer is a delightful and sweet addition to any
meal; so good, I just couldn't get enough of the citrus-flavored
treat when I paired it with a scrumptious French dip. Designed
to be a lighter beer that consumers can enjoy one round after the
other, Lightning Kolsch will tantalize your taste buds and paint
a warm glow on your cheeks; that is after two or three pints of
course. I've tasted many a beer since turning 21, but this one

Drink of the Week
B O N D M ARTINI

martini that was shaken rather than stirred
as a 'Bond martini'.
Martinis are traditionally made with
gin rather than vodka, and shaking vodka
is generally avoided. When vodka, or any
alcohol, is shaken it creates tiny air bubbles making it appear cloudy. These air
bubbles prevent the alcohol from reaching all of the taste buds when it's drunk.
Some vodka martini enthusiasts claim that
makes the Bond martini the perfect palate
cleanser. As Bond says in Casino Royale,
"I never have more than one drink before
dinner. But I do like that one to be large,
I confess that I'm
not a big beer fancier. I
much prefer sampling
from the vast array of
pleasures that make up
the cocktail cosmos.
Lightning Kolsch, however, has nudged the
door to a new realm of possibilities slightly
ajar. Brewed by local Lightning Brewery, the
Lightning Kolsch is a light, German-style beer
meant for easy drinking. Light-golden in hue,
this beer is low in alcohol but infinitely flavorful. The flavor, however, is a subtle one. The
sweet malt flavor, combined with the fruity,
floral aroma combine for a truly delightful
drinking experience.
From champagne to bourbon to Raki,
throughout Ian Fleming's novels, James
Bond tried a number of drinks. In Fleming's first novel "Casino Royale" though,
James Bond laid out the ingredients to
what would become his trademark drink:
a vodka martini—shaken not stirred.
Later in the same novel, Bond would name
his drink "The Vesper" after the sensuous Vesper Lynd. For decades afterwards
though, people would refer to any vodka
and very strong, and very cold, and very
well-made." And the drink is well made;
the exact ingredients are given in the
beginning of the novel, "a dry martini...
in a deep champagne goblet... three measures of Gordon's [gin], one of vodka, half
a measure of Kina Lillet [vermouth]. Shake
it very well until it's ice-cold, and then add
a large thin slice^of lemon-peel."
Set off by the sharp citrus of the lemon,
this martini is cool and refreshing and
cleanses the palate. "Bruising" the gin by
shaking it with ice, also adds additional
water to the mixture as the ice is broken
apart lightening
the taste. This
of course means
that the Bond
martini does not
have much personality in itself
and is not much
of a stand alone
beverage. As an

aperitif it does
quite well, however, unlike its namesake Vesper Lynd, it
lacks personality, complexity and body.
CD Review:
Secret Apollo, "Homemade
Time Machine" 9 # # ^
BY AMANDA ANDREEN

As bizarre as they are, I can't help but
love Secret Apollo. They are so inexplicable, and so weird that I found myself
laughing more than I found myself cursing their repetitious chorus lines and
crazy 18 tracks of noise on "Homemade
Time Machine." Some of their songs are
nothing more than an extended minute of
guitar distortion and others are minutes
full of sonic instrumental fusion. Secret

�Movie review:
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Daniel Craig's ears are too big for some James
Bond fans. They have expressed outrage over his
pale, blonde, blue-eyed visage. They've started webbased campaigns. They've even threatened to boycott. I say, go ahead. I do so hate an over-crowded
theater.
To be fair, however, I must admit my uncertainty
over the decision to cast Craig as the larger-than-life
super-agent. 1 have my favorite Bond, as Vm sure
most of you James Bond f ans do. How would this
newcomer stack up against my ideal 007?
With somewhat jaded anticipation I awaited his
debut. I've seen Bonds come and go. I'm used to
the routine. Yet, when Daniel Craig uttered his first
line as the famous spy, my cool composure started
to melt. There's a new Bond in town, thought 1, and
he's packing heat, all right.
As the first of Ian Fleming's novels, "Casino
Royale" seems the perfect vehicle for Craig's new
Bond. It introduces the hero just as he is attaining
"00" status. The audience witnesses his first two
kills and, perhaps more importantly, his reaction to
them.
A rugged; ruthless Bond, Craig takes up the challenge begun by Timothy Dalton to humanize a character that had become, under Roger Moore's watch,
a parody of itself to another level. With his electric
blue eyes, perpetual pout, and painfully athletic
approach to fight scenes, Craig's Bond seems the
right combination of charm and grit. His is a bloody
Bond, a fallible Bond, and, dare I say it, a vulnerable Bond.
After a mission goes horribly wrong, Bond
runs off to the Bahamas - to follow the trail
of a poker genius, a banker by the name of Le
M
Qj\SINO
ROYALE
C hiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) whose client list includes
infamous terrorist organizations. The stunning Eva
Green (who starred in Kingdom of Heaven with
Orlando Bloom) plays Vesper Lvnd, a British
Treasury official with a sharp mind and a ready w it
whose job is to provide and watch over Bond's
stake in a poker game the outcome of which may
bring terrorist operations crashing down.
Judi Dench reprises her role as M, the no-nonsense head of M16, whose presence onscreen
always adds a silvery highlight of pure class
and whose feelings towards Bond seem as complex as ever. If her role in "Casino Royale" has
a flaw, it is only that there is not enough of M in
the film.
Overall, "Casino Royale" is a delicate balance
between blood and wit, which in itself is not
Unusual; however, it is the gritty, engaging
manner in which this new Bond alternately
engages in fight scenes and delivers
cheeky one-liners that wins my
approval and hope that Daniel
Craig will return as James,
Bond in future films.
"Casino Royale"
will be in theaters
17 November.
