Cal State San Marcos suffersfirst serious crime

It is the end of an era at Cal State San Marcos.
After nearly seven years in existence, the university has
experienced itsfirstserious on-campus crime, an assault
and robbery of a female student on the evening of Oct 30
in the upper faculty parking lot
While the event is a tragedy in itself for a university with
the lowest crime rate in the CSU system, the real tragedy
might be that the student did not use one of the nearby
emergency phones placed in the parking lot
"The calls that I've gotten from faculty and students that
get my attention are (the ones) that say they didn't know
what the emergency phones w eresaid Public Affairs
Director Norma Yuskos.
The student, who has chosen to remain anonymous,
opted not to use the emergency phone and did not report
the crime until four hours after the assault, according to
Alicia Smith, lieutenant assistant director for Public Safety.
"If she would have (used the phone) we had an officer
in the next parking lot below (who) would have been there
in a minute," Smith said.
Yuskos added that campus officials want to quell rumors that the student had been sexually assaulted. This is
not she case, she said.
For Smith, the focus now shifts to preventing such
crimes in the future. Public Safety has handed out flyers
to evening students and staff asking for any information
about the Oct 30 assault, she explained. Public Safety also
wants to get the word out about safety seminars and
programs available to students.

The Cal State San Marcos Library
hosted a traditional Oaxacan altar and the
fifthfloorhallway of Craven Hall sported
"Once upon a Paradise," a 38-photograph
exhibit showing the architecture and ecology of the valley of Oaxaca, Mexico in
honor of El Dia de Los Muertos, the Mexican Day of the Dead. The Oaxacan secretary of tourism visited the campus for the
exhibit's opening reception on Nov. 3.
The Oaxacan altar/which is no longer
on display, included fresh foods and flowers as well as pictures of the deceased
including recently deceased Grateful Dead
member Jerry Garcia and Eric Prado, a
CSUSM library assistant who died Oct. 13.
Traditional masks and artwork were created by North County residents Victor
Hugo and Torres Morales as part of the
altar display also.
"The Oaxacan Day of the Dead has
particularly beautiful deeply rooted tradition," said Arts & Lectures director Bonnie
Biggs. "They sent artisans to build the
traditional altar."
Also included in the exhibit are traditional Oaxacan art objects and two models
representing a marketplace in Tlacoluna
and the region between Monte Alban and
Mitla, an area of major archeological importance.
The picture exhibit, created by Tonny
Zwollo, was sponsored by Groupo Genesis, Cal State San Marcos Arts & Lectures, the Latino Association of Faculty
and Staff at CSUSM, SER/Jobs for
Progress and the Oaxaca Secretary of
Tourism.
The Nov. 3 reception also marked the
opening of "100 Portraits," a photo exhibit
honoring the accomplishments of San Diego Latinos.
"Once upon a Paradise" will be on display until Nov. 29.

Bashein given major grant
Barbara J. Bashein, assistant professor in the College of
Business Administration at Cal State San Marcos, has been
awarded a prestigious grant from the Financial Executives
Research Foundation (FERF).
Bashein's project, "Meeting the Controls Challenges of New
MormationTechnologies," will analyze how corporations maximize the benefits of new information technologies without
increasing the control risks. Her in-depth case studies of six
major corporations will address several key qiiestions: How
does the use of new information technologies change the
nature of internal control? What are the best internal control
practices? What are the most successful implementation strategies?
Assisting Bashein on the project will be Jane B. Finley of
Belmont University and M. Lynne Markus of the Claremont
Graduate School.

In the Nov. 1 edition of The Pride, it was erroneously
reported that children of mostly faculty and staff participated in
a Halloween march Oct 31 on campus. According to Adrienne
Aguirre, who heads the Associated Students Childcare Committee and coordinated the event, the parade was primarily
made up of children of Cal State San Marcos students. Children
of faculty and staff also participated.

officials to rethink the policy. This young university has a reputation

help, either.
Freedom of speech is not of issue here. The choice of how that
speech is made is what is important. The Pride believes TKE President
Robert Brack when he stated in his letter to the editor Nov. 1 that his
organization did not mean to offend anyone. Indeed, spirit and confidence are nothing to take offense a t The ways in which that spirit and
confidence are shown is another matter.
TKE made a bad judgement call by deciding to chalk the campus

policy allowing student groups to do such a thing in thefirstplace.

Until very recently, most mainstream
American voters thoughtthey had a candidate to fit their overall criteria: someone
who was fiscally conservative, socially
moderate, a leader who displayed maturity and was above the partisan bickering
that is so commonplace in Washington
D.C. Joe Six-Pack thought he had his man
with Colin Powell, the retired chairman of
the Joint Chiefsof Staffwho worked under
Presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush
and, for a short while, Bill Clinton. Powell
would have offered plenty to a Republican
ticket, especially by what he lacked: the
age and political career of Bob Dole, the
pessimism of Pat Buchanan and the brashnessofBob Dornan.
So what happened to "Powell for President," the candidacy that never was, and
whatdoesthismeanforthe 1996presidential elections?
It had seemed obvious to so many of us
that Colin Powell would run for president,
and very likely be elected next year. His
memoirs have been selling like hotcakes
and his book signing tour has been a
success.
There is the argument that fringe Republicans drove Powellfromrunning as a
Republican. Staunch conservatives were
afraid that he might squelch the Republican revolution which started last November when, for thefirsttime in 40 years, the
GOP won both branches of Congress.

Party by the 'radical r ight'"

�World-class jazz musicians perform at GSUSM
By JHI Ballard
Entertainment Editor
The jazzduo of Holly Hoffman,
flute, and Mike Wofford, piano,
played Nov. 7 in ACD-102 at Cal
State San Marcos.
It was thefifthpresentation of
the CSUSM fall Arts and Lectures Series. Both musicians are
Concord recording artists. They
started the show off with a blues
piece. Not only did they perfom
jazz, but they also talked to the
audience in between songs explaining the origins of jazz and
the problems the general public
has listening to the music genre.
Wofford played the James
Brown number "I Feel Good" to
illustrate the use of blues in early
rock 'n roll. Hoffman explained
that a way jazz originated was by,
"embellishment of the melodies.
Very simple melodies can be used
and then you can take it through
a bunch of tempo changes, (like)
grooves changes, the drummer
could say do something different
to add a different beat to i t So
really embellishment of t he
melody is one of the ways that
early jazz started in addition to
the blues which actually came
out of slavery and before."
Hoffman played "Amazing
Grace" as an example of embel-

lishing the melodies. "That's really a big part of jazz also, i fs
taking a melody and working from
i t I fs filling in the bars in between and changing the tempos."
Wofford explained why the
once-popular jazz became unpopular.
"The improvising is based on
the chordal changes and the harmonic structure and that starts
getting a little more complicated
and I think that's when jazz left
the general public to a large extent," Hoffman said, adding that
jazz was once considered revolu-
tionary just as was rock 'n roll and
current alternative music.
Hoffman and Wofford also
played "Sweet Georgia Brown,"
the theme song of the Harlem
Globe Trotters, to illustrate how
jazzevolved in the 1930s. Wofford
played some stride piano in that
number to illustrate how ragtime
evolved into jazz music. He also
played another stride piano piece
to show how jazz is more adventurous than pop music, but "as
soon as the music becomes more
adventurous you begin to shrink
your listening audience."
They also discussed jazz solos
because, as brought up by a student in Gunner Biggs's Music
427 class, some people reject jazz
because it sounds too "self indulgent"
'We're trying to show you instead of this all sounding like a
bunch of notes when we solo,
we're trying to show you that
there is a format that we use so
that there is a melody underneath
all that, there is a groove underneath all that," Hoffman explained. "So there are some elements here that you can relate to
as a listener." The theme song to
the Flintstones was then played
to further illustrate improvisation
over the melody.
Jazz audience etiquette was
also brought up. Hoffman feels
that applause after solos is well
deserved because "we're playing

"We just want to make everybody aware of what's going on,"
said Smith, who joined Public
Safety this month after serving
with the Southern Pacific Railroad Police. She has 24 years of
law enforcement experience with
such police departments as
Ingelwood and Rialto, Smith
added.
"From a positive aspect, to me
it's a learning experience," she
continued. "Hopefully, this won't
happen again, and we are a community. We have to police our
own community, and that means
staff, faculty and students."
Public Safety offers escort services for students and Smith is in
the process of developing a
whistle program, where students
can purchase whistles and use
them if they are in trouble.
"This campus at this particular time is small enough to where
people would still hear (the
whistle)," she said.
Emergency phones are located
in all parking lots on campus, and
can be found by looking for the
blue siren light on top each phone
location. Even if the phone is off
the hook, a Public Safety officer
will check the situation out, Smith
said.
Information about seminars
and other Public Safety programs
can be obtained by calling their
dispatch line, 750-3111.
Even with the recent assault,
Cal State San Marcos still has the
lowest crime rate in the CSU system, Smith concluded.
"It's still the case now and we
intend to keep it that way," she
said.

agreed we could both support a
ticket with Colin Powell and, say,
Jack Kemp. While Kemp is conservative on most issues, he has
taken heat from fellow Republicans for opposing last year's
Proposition 187, and supporting
Affirmative Action. Given this,
the potential of him being on a
national Republican ticket is very
slight Still, it would have been
nice.
It is very likely that Powell cut
a deal with one or more Republicans to bow out. While he may
still be a candidate for vice president, or even secretary of state,
his aura has already been diminished.

Winter Session Dropped from Schedule
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
Although this year’s winter
session is the last at Cal State San
Marcos and marks a change in
the vision of the Extended Stud
ies program, members from both
Year Round Operations (YRO)
and Extended Studies are opti
mistic about the opportunities the
new year-round schedule will pro
vide for matriculated students.
“It is not a surprise to us,”
said Robert Stakes, the new
dean of Extended Studies.
“Summer will reduce prices and
offer more opportunities for
students.” Although the change
will affect the current focus of
Extended Studies, “ ... we will
find other ways to generate fund
ing,” said Stakes.
Cancelling winter session is
a step toward the implementa
tion of YRO, which utilizes reg
ular state funding to reduce stu
dent costs, which are less expen
sive than the Extended Studies
Program.
“More students will benefit
by the new summer semester
than will be hurt by the loss of
winter session,” said Pat Worden,
Students Celebrate
Japanese Culture
By JENNIFER HOLMES
Pride Staff Writer
Students commemorated the
first day of the second annual
Japanese Culture Week (Tuesday,
Nov. 13 through Thursday, Nov.
15) by adorning Founders’ Plaza
with traditional Japanese paper
lanterns. The Japanese Club,
students and professors in the
Japanese Program,
Anime
Project Alliance, the Victorious
Club, and the American
Language and Culture Institute
organized and presented cultur
al activities and displays during
the three-day celebration. They
organized the event to share var
ious aspects of Japanese culture
with those on campus.
“Our goal is to expose people
to Japanese culture, to something
they wouldn’t typically get being
here (in the U.S.),” said Marc
Townsend, founder and presi
dent of the Japanese Club.
“In Japan, Nov. 3 is culture
day, and everyone celebrates with
exhibitions, performances, and
food,” said Mikiko Imamura
Seyller, professor of world lan
guages and Hispanic literature,
and an adviser in the Japanese
program. Although this event did
not take place on Nov. 3, like
the one in Japan, Seyller said the
motivation behind these^events is
the same —to promote cultural
awareness.
On Tuesday, the Japanese
Club held a food sale in Found
ers’ Plaza featuring traditional
Japanese favorites including
yakisoba (noodles), goyza (Japa
nese dumplings), and okonomiyaki (Japanese-style pancakes).
There was also a Japanese mar
ketplace in Commons 206, which
offered students an interactive
video game demonstration set
up by Anime Project Alliance.
Handcrafted origami arts were
available for purchase, as well as
video games, laser discs, comic
books, and Pocky, which are
chocolate-covered biscuit sticks,
a popular snack in Japan.

exhibition featuring different
aspects of modern life in Japan.

Former CSUSM Employee Settles Lawsuit
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
Lori Edwards, a former Cal
State San Marcos accountant who
filed a lawsuit against the uni
versity for discrimination and
harassment due to her gender and
race, settled the agreement for
$215,000; from this amount, she
received $5,000 for emotional
distress.
Edwards, an African-Amer
ican female, filed the lawsuit at
Vista’s Superior Court on Nov.
13, 2000. Her charges included
race, color and/or national origin
discrimination; gender harass
ment and discrimination; retali
ation; invasion of privacy; negli
gent and/or intentional infliction
of emotional distress; defama
tion, and violation of the Califor
nia Family Rights Act, according
to court files.
In her settlement agreement
dated Jan. 26 and released by
the university at the request of
the North County Times on Nov.
8, Edwards agreed to drop any
actions against the university per
sonnel she had named as defen
dants in the complaint. She also
agreed to state in her records that
she voluntarily resigned from
her job at the university Jan.
31, 2000. According to court
files, however, Edwards states
that she received a letter from
the director of Human Resources
and Equal Opportunity Office in
January 2000 informing her that
she would be discharged from
employment.
Edwards and her attorney,
and the defendants from Fiscal
Operations, Human Resources,
and the Equal Opportunity
offices were unable to comment
before press time.
“We can only comment that
the matter has been amicably
resolved,” said Rick Moore, a
university spokesperson. “It was
negotiated with the plaintiff and
her attorneys. The payment of
$210,000 settles a claim for
worker’s compensation, based on
stress. The payment of $5,000
settles a separate, civil claim for
emotional distress. The settle
ment is not an admission of any
wrongdoing.”
A law signed by California
Gov. Gray Davis on Oct. 5
requires all sex offenders
enrolling or working on col
lege campuses to register with
the campus police, beginning
next year.
The assembly bill states
that any person convicted of a
sex crime, including students,
faculty, and all others working
on campus, must notify campus
police of their address within
five working days. The same
applies if the person is disenrolling from the campus, chang
ing employment, or changing
his/her address.
If an individual violates the
law, he/she will receive a mis
demeanor, depending on the
number of violations the per
son has or commits.
In the past, campus police
had no way of knowing if
sex offenders were on campus,
because they were allowed to
live in one area and attend
school in another. Now campus
police will know who is on
their campus. “The database
is a valuable tool,” said Tom
Shultheis, CSUSM’s chief of
police. He added, “it certainly
doesn’t mean that every single
person who is registered is
automatically a suspect.”
Federal law forces colleges
to let students know who is a
sex offender on their campus.
Supports of the law said
they believe it will be easier for
campus police to investigate
sex crimes committed on cam
pus. On the other hand, those
who are opposed to the new
law say that the right to pri
vacy is being taken from sex
offenders *North County Times

�Student Government Starts Readership Program
Free N ew York Times Newspapers Available Next Semester
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
Students may have a few
more opportunities to read the
hews next semester. The
Associated Students Inc. exec
utive committee approved the
New York Times readership pro
gram Friday, Nov. 16.
The program, which brings
free newspapers to students on
campus, will last for four weeks,
on a trial basis. “The decision to
try the program was easy,” said
ASI President Dean Manship.
After the trial is up, ASI
will assess whether they should
begin the paid program, based on
how many students pick up the
papers.
According to Manship, the
board had to look at how useful
the program is for students and
how the program will affect the
readership of The Pride student
newspaper.
“It is really not about the cost.
As long as it useful to students
then we can deal with the cost,”
said Manship,
Kathleen O’Connell, a New
York Times representative, pre
sented the readership program
to the board on Friday, Oct. 26.
Jocelyn Brown, the California
State
Student
Association
(CSSA) representative for Cal
State San
said she asked
O’Connell to present the program
to the ASI Board of Directors
after Brown heard her speak at
the CSSA meeting at San Diego
State University.

CSU and UC Systems to Provide Joint
Doctoral Programs in Education
By JUSTIN ANDREWS
Pride Staff Writer
CSU students will soon have
easier and more affordable access
to doctoral degrees in education.
CSU Chancellor Charles Reed
and UC President Richard Atkin
son reached a tentative agree
ment, in which each system, Uni
versity of California and Cali
fornia State* University, will put
up $2 million to organize pro
grams among various campuses.
Colleen Bentley-Adler, a spokes
person for the CSU chancellor’s
office, said that the joint pro
gram may be offered as soon as
August.
The joint program aims to
provide many future teachers
with a thorough, in-depth edu
cation designed to raise the over
all quality of education for both
students and teachers.
“I wouldn’t say right now
whether that can be done by
August, but I wouldn’t rule it
out,” said CSUSM’s Dean of
Education, Steve Lilly. “This
is really important for us, and
important to public school peo
ple around here in general, to
have better access to this doc
toral of education program,” he
said.
Seventeen percent of Cal
State San Marcos students are
here for degrees in education.
Sixty percent of California’s
teachers graduated from the
CSU system, all with little or
no access to a doctoral degree
in education. “We invest a high
er percentage of our resources
in education training than any
other Cal State University,” Lilly
. said, noting that UC Riverside
is a nearby school that offers
educational doctorates.
In I960, the California
Master Plan for Education
assigned the UC system to be
the sole provider for a doctoral
degree in an education pro
gram. Bentley-Adler said, how
ever, that the UC system is
not meeting the demands of
future teachers. Eighty percent
of these degrees are obtained
at expensive private schools,
which deprives the majority of
California’s teachers of a higher
level of education. .
Some may wondef whether
future educators f^m flie CSU
system are ready for a doctoral
program. A study conducted by
the CSU system shows that more
than 25 percent of students grad
uating with teaching degrees
feel unprepared to teach English
and math, while 60 percent said
they were not prepared to teach
science,, history, or social sci
ence.

Wednesday’s activities also
included a lecture and demon
stration on Hayashi, Japanese
kabuki percussion, by Katada
Kikusa in University Hall 237.
The demonstration featured
Hayashi’s main instruments as
well as the koto, the oldest tra
ditional Japanese string instru
ment, which dates back 1,300
years. Ken Saragosa, a leader
of the Buddhist organization,
Soka Gakkai International-USA,
spoke about Buddhism’s prin
ciple belief in humanity and
the empowerment of people. “A
great revolution of character in
just a single man will help
achieve a change in the destiny
of a nation and, further, will
cause a change in the destiny of
all mankind.” About 45 people
attended the lecture.

Protestors Rally for Improved
Teachers’ Working Conditions
By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN
For The Pride
Faculty, staff, and students
from Cal State campuses came
by bus and airplane from as far
north as Humboldt and as far
south as San Diego to protest
for better Working conditions
for CSU professors during a
teach-in held at the CSU chancel
lor’s office in Long Beach. The
California Faculty Association
(CFA) organized the Nov. 14
teach-in to present the Board of
Trustees with a unified front of
support.
The morning of the teach-in
began with vocal protests, and
the crowd organized a picket
line outside the CSU trustees
meeting, held at the chancellor’s
office. The rally began with
an introduction and welcome
from Gonzalo Santos, CFA
president and a professor from

Founder of University s Research Center Resigns
By VICTORIA B. SEGALL
Pride Editor
After founding the universi
ty’s ^National Latino Research
Center (NLRC) in 1997 and serv
ing as its director, Dr. Fernando
Soriano has resigned as NLRC
director. “I’m both happy and
sad about the departure —happy
for the center and myself, but
also sad to be apart from it,” said
Soriano, who officially resigned
from the position Nov. 1.
The NLRC, Soriano
explained, provides and pro
motes informational research and
databases that focus on the
Latino population. “But with the
recent growth and the number
of staff at the center, it becomes
difficult to be an effective direc
tor and to do what I do,” said
Soriano.
Dr. Pat Worden, the uni
versity’s associate vice presi
dent of Academic Affairs for
Research, and the dean of gradu
ate studies, will serve temporar
ily as director. “The center was

House. (Pride Photo/Victoria Segall)
meant to be my contribution,”
said Soriano. “At some point,
I had planned to release it to
the university to let them help
it grow.”
Before he resigned, however,
Soriano asked university presi
dent Alexander Gonzalez to seek
advice for future NLRC projects
from consultants and experts
of Latino research. “I’m really
excited about the university tak
ing a greater role with the
NLRC,” said Soriano. “It will
require them to take a greater
amount of responsibility with
the center.”
Soriano will continue
in his position as the director
of the human development pro
gram at Cal State San Marcos,
and he will continue to teach
as an associate professor at the
university. This past year, he
was appointed a member of the
U.S. Census Bureau, and he also
serves on the Race and Ethnic
Affiliation Committee. Soriano
also plans to focus more on
his research on youth violence.
“With all of the concern we’ve
had over the year or so with
school violence, it becomes more
important for me to work on
these issues,” he said.
Before he joined Cal State
San Marcos, Soriano taught at
the University of Missouri. He
received his bachelor’s degree
in psychology from the UC
Riverside, and his psychology
master’s and doctorate from the
University
of
Colorado,
Boulder.
�Peter Jennings and Local Media Interviewed by Public
By VICTORIA B. SEGALL
Pride Editor
Roles were reversed when
the San Diego public interviewed
local media about news coverage,
particularly of September 11, on
Nov. 17 at “Ask the Media,” a live
televised panel discussion with
Peter Jennings, news anchor and
senior editor for ABC’s “World
News Tonight.”
“We’re trying to get some
appreciation of what’s on your
mind, and honest answers from
the panelists on what we report
and how we do it,” Jennings told
the audience of 800 that gathered
at the University of San Diego’s
Shiley Theater. “This will not
only be a national, but a truly
international experience. We’ll
try to understand our role in
this current phase of American
natural life.”
The subjects of questions
posed ranged from media cover
age of the war and hate crimes
to the presence of minorities in
news anchor positions.
Featured panelists included
news anchor Hal Clement from
KGTV-10 News, editor Kent
Davy from the North County
Times, radio host Roger
Hedgecock from KOGO Radio,
news anchor Kimberly Hunt from
KGTV-10, news director Lourdes
Sandoval from KBNT Univision,
and staff writer Kelly Thornton
from the San Diego UnionTribune.
One of the first ques
tion^ from the audience (which
included college students, teach
ers, retired military personnel,
and members from the Muslim
and Sikh community) was, “How
does the media determine what
they tell, like military opera
tions?”
Hal Clement said that some
news stations are selective of the
news they present. “For example,
we wouldn’t tell about a mission
beforehand,” he said. “We would
be devastated to find out that
anything we would report on
would cause the death of any
serviceperson.”
“We do know how to wait,”
said Kimberly. Hunt^ who
revealed that KGTV and other
news stations knew about the
plans for the U.S. attack on
Afghanistan 24 hours prior to
their reporting of it.
Jennings added, “They [the
media] do have access to people
in the defense department will
ing to leak information.”
Some of the panelists dis
agreed with one another when
they discussed the decision of
sending reporters into war
zones.
“I don’t believe that report
ers should be in the war zones,”
said Roger Hedgecock. “It would
be like inserting an ally of the
Taliban.”
“It’s the right of the people,”
disagreed Lourdes Sandoval.
“Otherwise, why are we journal
ists?”
Audience members ques
tioned whether or not the media
was covering news or creating
news, especially since the war
in Afghanistan and the anthrax
scares.
“This isn’t abofit sowing fear,
it’s about keeping you informed,”
said Clement. “We don’t want to
alarm you, we want to inform
you.” Kent Davy referred to the
North County Times1 coverage
on the safety of the San Onofre
nuclear power plant since the
Sept. 11 attacks. “We believe the
press is playing a useful role to
keep you well-informed,” said
Davy. “I feel it’s better to have
more information than less.”
As the evening went on, the
audience discussed more Sept.
11-related issues, notably the dis
cussion of local hate crimes. One
individual, who identified him
self as a member of the San
Diego Chapter of the Muslim
American Society, said, “We
have found ourselves victimized
by hate mongers and people
putting out messages that are
anti-Islamic and anti-Muslim,

“We have a job to do,” said
Hunt. “We focus on what we
need to do when we strap in
that chair and focus on the news
information.”
Hedgecock said that talking
about it helped everyone when
they discussed the terrorist
attacks.
“The focus helps,’’ said
Jennings. “I was so focused on
what was happening, that two
weeks after (Sept. 11) I felt ter
rible.”

It’s that time in the semester
when students begin counting
down the three weeks left of
school, stressing over final
papers, exams and projects, and
looking forward to holiday gath

Everyone has their favorite
holiday foods whether they are
traditional, like turkey and cran

This Dessert Will Knock You O ff Your Feet
By JOY WHITMAN
Pride Staff Writer
With the holidays just around
the comer, scrumptious baked
goods come to mind, especially
fudge, pies, cookies and cakes.
Although it doesn’t have a “holi
day” theme, there is one deli
cious treat that works well for
any occasion: “Better than Sex
Cake.” Yes, you read that cor
rectly.
To prevent shocking and
embarrassing your relatives and
friends at those holiday gather
ings, you may want to change
the name, or refuse to tell them.
Ingredients:
1 box of devil’s food cake mix
1 can of sweetened condensed
milk
1 jar of Mrs. Richardson’s cara
mel topping (or any brand you
choose)
2 Skor bars (gee, what an appro
priate addition) - Heath bars
work just as well.
Preparation:
Make the devil’s food cake
by following the directions on
the box (most likely it will call
for eggs and vegetable oil, so
you may want to add these items
to the grocery list if you don’t
already have them).
Let the cake cool for about
20 minutes, and poke holes in it
with the end of a wooden spoon.
Next, pour the sweetened
condensed milk into the holes
you’ve made. Use as much of
the milk as you want, depend
ing on how sweet you want it.
Then, pour in the caramel top
ping. Cover and refrigerate the
cake for about one hour.
Top the cake with crushed
Skor or Heath bars, and serve.
Since this cake is extremely rich,
I would advise getting a tall
glass of cold milk to wash it
down.
Note: Whether or not the
name of this delightful treat is
deserving of its name is up to
you to find out. Cheers.

�Harpy Potter: A Mediocre Success
Harry Potter movie stills. (Courtesy Photos/HarryPotter. com)
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
The strangest thing about
“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s
Stone” is its length. The film is
2 Vi hours long, but its target
audience has a half-hour atten
tion span. Perhaps I am wrong.
Maybe the target audience was
never children, but rather their
parents.
At the theater, some preteens and younger were inter
spersed with a much larger crowd
of adults —many adults without
a kid in sight. Although this is
great for the industry — selling
to a wide variety of customers
— children under eight or nine
won’t be able to appreciate the
film, if not for the length, then
for the dark scenes and night
marish creatures. But for fami
lies with pre-teens and up, Potter
is worth seeing at least once, but
maybe not twice.
The hero of this story, Harry
Potter (played by Daniel
Radcliffe), is an 11-year-old boy,
and the storyline is meant for
children (whether or not they
should bother is up to you).
Radcliffe is new to the film
business —his first screen role
was playing the young David
Copperfield in a made-for-TV
movie. But Radcliffe already has
star power. When he is onscreen,
you can’t take your eyes off of
him.
Yet, why wouldn’t he become
a star? Chris Colombus, a
director who is an expert in
telling a good family story,
directed Radcliffe. Colombus’
previous credits include “Home
Alone,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Nine
Months,” “Stepmom,” and his
directorial debut, “Adventures in
Babysitting.” Colombus has a
way of finding the cutest aspect
of kids and selling the audience
on their appeal -- even when the
story line is mediocre.
Potter also has some out
standing special effects, but also
some mediocre ones. During
the Quidditch game (a Warlock
sport), athletes are supposed to
fly on their brooms, but the imag
es are cartoonish at best, fake
at worst. The images do manage
to look similar to the drawing
on the cover of the novel, which
may be a good thing if it were
not so irritating to the eye.
The good effects include
Hagrid as a giant (the scenes
where he looks gigantic do not
look fake in any way), and the
paintings in Hogwart’s School
of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In
one scene, Potter rests at the
nurse’s station while a walllength painting hangs above his
head. Although nothing moves
near Potter, in the painting a
nurse walks to a patient’s bed
side and blows out a candle. Yes,
it is hauntingly similar to the
Disneyland Haunted House ride,
but it is such a neat effect that
it doesn’t matter how small a
world it is.
For those who have read the
Harry Potter series, you know
that the story takes you on a mag
ical adventure. The film parallels
the novel, but somehow loses
that mysterious charm in some
scenes. For example, the alley
way where Hagrid takes Potter to
buy his warlock school materi
als looks very unique, but is

not what my imagination had
conjured up while reading the
book. When the images onscreen
broke away from what I had
imagined, the film lost its magic.
But I suppose if you haven’t read
the book, then this film is just
a family treat and nothing more.
But for those of us who expected
just a bit more, there are some
disappointments.
Yet, when Radcliffe smiles
(for he does have the most charm
ing smile) you again believe in
the magic. Any 11-year-old girl
that sees this film will absolutely
fall in love with Radcliffe, for
he is adorable. And, for adults,

thing about her. Instead, it was

Just good old adventure. Very
refreshing.
“Harry Potter and the

some scary moments and mild
language. If the child in your
life can handle the occasional
dark and scary scene and can sit
still for a long period, I would
still recommend taking him/her

“The goal is soul,” Bono
chanted to a sold-out crowd who
raised their fists and sang along
with the enigmatic singer.
Soul indeed.
The Los Angeles Staples
Center was transformed into a
church on Monday, Nov. 12,
as Irish rock group U2 proved
that rock n’ roll can be a spiri
tual experience. U2’s congrega
tion alternated between trans
fixion and frenzy as the band
performed a two-hour set filled
with some of their biggest hits.
With the house lights still
on, Bono, guitarist Edge, drum
mer Larry Mullin Jr., and bass
ist Adam Clayton took the stage
in an understated fashion not
seen since the early 1980s. The
band opened with “Elevation,”
followed by “Beautiful Day,”
both from their most recent
album, the Grammy-winning
“All That You Can’t Leave
Behind.”
The stage featured a heartshaped catwalk that allowed
Bono to strut into the crowd, pas
sionately singing into the adoring
faces of fans only inches away.
The elaborate sets and costumes
from “Zoo TV” and “Popmart”
were gone. Left behind were the
bare essentials, the inspirational
music from the four lads from
Dublin that’s made them one of
the most influential bands of our
time.
Songs such as “New Year’s
Day” and “Where the Streets
Have No Name” brought the
audience to their feet. Early in
the show the crowd heard “Out
of Control,” U2’s first single
from 1979. An acoustic version
of “Please” was also an unex
pected treat. Gwen Stefani, lead
singer of No Doubt (the opening
act for the evening), joined the
band for a rendition of Marvin
Gaye’s classic, “What’s Going
On?”
Other favorites, such as
“Sunday Bloody Sunday,” took

right now.”
Bono dedicated “Kite” to his
father, who passed away a few
months ago. In a further attempt
to connect with the audience, a
dazed female fan was brought
onstage to play guitar for the
Curtis Mayfield tune, “People
--------Get Ready.”

gnant moment of
the show came
during the final encore.
“Something about the words
‘rock ‘n roll’ and ‘freedom’ feel
like the same thing,” said Bono
as he held up his index finger,
introducing U2’s most powerful
song, “One.”
During the song, hundreds of
Sept. 11 victim’s names appeared
on video screens onstage and
were projected onto the walls of
the arena and the faces of fans;
this reminded us that we are all
“one, but not the same.” The
names surrounded the audience
like spirits, and brought many to
tears as Bono changed the lyrics
on a whole new meaning for
the audience and the band in
the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.
During the anti-war anthem,
Bono snatched an American flag
from the outstretched hand of a
fan and cradled it iti his arms like
a child. He pressed the flag to his
cheek, and then handed it back
to the overwhelmed fan, pas
sionately crooning, “Wipe Your
Tears Away.”
Bono later told the audience,

not fond of flags. Until a few
weeks ago I would not have felt
the way I do about that flag
either. We are very humble and

�EDITORIAL
As we wind down another
semester, the last semester of
college for some of us, we’re
starting to think about entering
the real world, or the so-called
“real world” of getting a job.
And we’re also starting to think
about whether or not we’re really
prepared for the real world.
The last few weeks, we’ve
been applying for jobs so that
after graduating this winter, we’ll
be able to enter the ranks of
professionals. But it turns out
that the real world may not be
as excited about our bachelors’
degrees as we are.
A few individuals in The
Pride office want to become
journalists. However the jour
nalism field is telling them that
they’re not quite prepared. Their
heads are swimming with, “Do
you have any real world experi
ence? Any full-time experience?
Have you done anything besides
work at a school paper? School
papers are just extracurricular
activities, you know.”
We have our internships, and
we joined our clubs. We did
whatever we could to create
a great resume for the time when
we would be ready to step out
into the real world. Well, that
time’s coming
up. Our “extra
curricular activ
ities” are looking great on our
resumes, but why aren’t we get
ting hired? Were we not pre
pared after all?
Take our literature and writ
ing students, for example. We
love studying literature. But then
we realize that when we have to
find some necessary filing job
to pay the bills, Chaucer and
Nietzche haven’t prepared most
of us for the real world.
Sure, reciting a fantastic
William Blake poem while we
serve fries at McDonald’s may
comfort us, but will it help us
sleep at night? We’re not so sure.
So, what’s a college graduate to
do?
We’re graduating at a time
of great economic uncertainty,
a time when those who have
graduated years before us are
being let go so that companies
can make ends meet. Many of
the jobs we dreamed of while
we crammed for finals may be
fading away.
Are there answers? We guess
that perhaps studying more realworld applications would help.
Will visiting the Career and
Assessment Center really help?
Maybe for some of us, we’ll

Ready to Register
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
When students were able to
register for the spring semester,
many rushed to the bookstore to
get a copy of the spring class
schedule. But some students
only had two days before their
registration date to look over the
schedule and decide what classes
to take.
This brought not only con
troversy, but many discussions
between CSUSM students who
were disappointed about this
disorganization; however, this
was not all. While flipping
through the schedule’s pages,
guess what? The classes that
many of us want or need are
only offered once, so we need
to make ourselves available for
those classes and reschedule our
personal schedules. The lack of
varying class times is unfair for
many seniors hoping to gradu
ate, because if they can’t take
the class, this delays their grad
uation plans; this is the experi
ence that many CSUSM stu
dents are going through right
now.
Not only do we get a small
variety of classes, butthey are
only offered once, or only have
one section. I am in this situa
tion, and many students I know
are also complaining about this
fact.
This is a popular complaint
discussed among CSUSM stu
dents. I have discussed this with
friends, and heard it as a topic
of conversation between others
in the Dome and in classes.
However, this is not a new issue
at this university. For almost
three years now, since I first
came to this campus, I have
heard the same complaint from
students.
Furthermore, there are dif
ferent classes that are required
for a major, but some of those are
offered at the same times. This
is the case for some Spanish
majors, where two classes are
offered at the same time, which
doesn’t allow students to regis
ter for both classes. Is this done
on purpose?
I prefer to believe in the
good will of people and hope
that it will be fixed soon, facili
tating students with their regis
tration process for the upcom
ing semester. Not only will this
facilitate registration, but also
the entire CSUSM experience,
because trying to register for
a class in the beginning of the
semester or “crashing” can be a
very unpleasant experience for
students.
I hope that school officials
involved in organizing the class
schedules take this advice into
consideration. They should lis
ten to students to know their
feelings about the current sched
ule system and listen to stu
dents’ suggestions; after all, we
are the ones paying for and tak
ing the classes.
As a student, I would like
to see a change for the better,
where not only do we have
the opportunity to choose what
classes we want to take, but also
have an opportunity to choose
the times that would work better
for us.
College life is already hard
as it is, and we do not need a
new problem to make it worse.
Furthermore, an improve
ment in the schedules would
help the students and also the
school in general, which may
help enrollment and improve the
quality of student life.
selves to a potential boss. Or we
could always take one of those
tests at the CAC.
Some of the editors took the
“what’s-the-best-career-for-you”
test our freshman year at Cal
State San Marcos. We don’t nec
essarily trust the results though.
Particularly since it turns out
that, according to one the test
one of the editor’s should have
become a nun.
Well, at least if she became
a nun she’d have free food and
room and board. That may be a
step ahead of some of us ready
to graduate.
For the most part, though,
the majority of us are opting
for graduate school, because the
real world is just a bit too uncer
tain right now.

Aggression and Education Linked
To the Editors:
Relevant to the nationwide
debate on education is the fact
that high levels of aggression in
children and poor school perfor
mance go together. “Currently
the prognosis for aggressive chil
dren is poor. Services provided
by mental health, education, and
juvenile justice agencies often
have little impact on the down
ward trajectory of aggressive
children” (Timothy A. Cavell,
‘Working with Parents of Aggres
sive Children’, page 19). I found
an effective intervention with
exceptionally aggressive ninth
graders to be telling these stu
dents, still in their formative
years, the serious consequences
of their current behavioral course
(“a life of crime and a life in
jail”) but was told that saying
such things is “taboo in public
education.” By the time it is not
taboo, it is too late. The con
sequences affect suburbanites as
well as urban communities.
Current policies are worse
than ineffective. I have found
that the vast majority of ninthgrade mathematics students in an
urban school cannot do simple
addition and subtraction that they
were supposed to have learned
in grade school. I was told to
observe the class of another
teacher, held out to me as a
model, and found him telling the
students he will give them “100
percent credit” if, in solving a
LETTER
simple equation, they just show
him the steps, even if their addi
tion, subtraction, multiplication
and division are wrong, regard
less of their answers. This is
fraud upon the public.
I have found that the main
reason the students do not know
simple addition and subtraction
or the steps in solving a simple
equation is their refusal to learn,
which is part of their aggressive
behavior (above).

Get Involved on Campus
By DUSTIN NAYLOR
Pride Staff Writer
Did you know there are
almost a hundred ways for you
to get involved on campus? Cal
State San Marcos hosts and spon
sors student clubs, organizations,
honor societies, fraternities and
sororities, and the campus com
munity as a whole, which leaves
an entire window of opportunity
open for involvement on campus.
Not interested? Then get involved
in student-based committees.
The university makes important
decisions involving you, your
education, and your campus
through means of student-based
committees. Both the univer
sity and Associated Students
Inc. sponsor these student/
faculty/administration groups in
attempts to get the student voice
heard on campus.
What if the university want
ed to increase your tuition pay
ment by $50? I believe many
students would be upset over a
student fee increase, don’t you?
What about graduation? Do you
have a voice or opinion on grad
uation this year, the next, and the
following years to come? Do you
have concerns about the ceremo
ny, the distinguished speakers,
or coordination of this sacred
event? You probably do. Are
you interested in club funding
and sponsorship? Did you know
there are student funds available
to clubs and organizations to
help campus climate, academic,
and social life here at CSUSM?
Committees address a vast array
of issues that affect every stu
dent, every day. The committee
serves as a catalyst for all these
issues; not by some university
executive, but by the undergrad
uates and faculty that educate
you.
If commencement prepara
tions or clubs don’t interest
you, there are a variety of
other committees to choose from.
University committees entail a
wide spectrum of campus issues
concerning the academic sen
ate, university student, and glob
al affairs, and academic plan
ning and policy. Also, ASI hosts
its own committees involved in
programming, communications,
fundraising, and finance.
Now the word “committee”
may seem kind of ugly to you.
Students regard these commit
tees as “a lot of work” and
“time-consuming.” The biggest
reason students give for not get
ting involved is that they “don’t
have enough time for this type
of involvement. I have work
school, a social life, kids and
parents, etc.” These are all legiti
mate reasons; however, did you
know committee membership
can be placed and recognized
on your transcripts and resumes,
give you insight into your own
education and the education of
those to follow, and serve as an
instructional guide to the innerworkings of the university? The
committee experience is great
for all majors. Whether you’re
majoring in business, arts and
sciences, or education, the com
mittee is an excellent way to
meet people, gain valuable group
skills, and actually make the
decisions that govern how we
are educated. This involvement
is also an excellent networking
strategy. The time commitments
undergraduates will sacrifice
within the committee complete
ly outweigh the limitations that
some students face.
It is simple to get involved at
CSUSM. First, come to the ASI
office (Commons 203) and fill
out an application. You will then
be given a list of different
and dynamic committees to
choose from. If you have any
questions or concerns, feel free
to call Dustin Naylor, Executive
Vice President for ASI at (760)
750-4990.
�Students React to “Humanitarian
Aid Kills People” Opinion Article
Student’s
Insight
into Issue
a Problem
To the Editors:
In response to the artiele,
“Humanitarian Aid Kills People,”
written by David Ludwig, I have
a few concerns regarding this
article’s insight about the under
lying problem.
It seems that the author of this
article was clearly influenced by
his background in biology, espe
cially about his assertion regard
ing population growth and food
production.
This theory, examined by
British economist Thomas Mai-,
thus, argued that if unchecked,
human population has the natural
capacity to expand exponentially,
while food production could only
be expected to increase at a linear
rate. Well, this theory seems to
be outdated. , We must look at this type of
problem from a cultural perspec
tive, as noted by John H. Boldley, author of Anthropology and
Contemporary Human Problems.
Boldley stated that, “It is a mis
take to assume that natural limits,
such as overpopulation, is the pri
mary cause of hunger. It is the
structural aspects of society, par
ticularly inequalities of wealth
and power in cultures* that make
food a commercial commodity
that the poor cannot afford,” This
seems to make more sense than
the comparison that Mr. Ludwig
made with humans and squir
rels.
So with that in mind, the
statement in the article that says
“people will starve in greater
numbers than would have been
possible without the humanitar
ian aid” is clearly a blind state
ment that does not address the
root of the problem. People do not
die because of humanitarian aid,
but instead it seems to be because
of ruling elite’s stronghold on
the food world’s market system.
These major corporations make
it impossible for the poor to have
access to means of basic needs for
survival. However, Mr. Ludwig
did make one good point that I
must agree on which was, “Death
is the inevitable reality of life,
and it is wrong to think that this
can be changed.”
I leave you with a quote from
Frances Moore Lappe and Joseph
Collins, authors of Food First,
Beyond the Myth o f Scarcity: “As
long as food is something bought
and sold in a society with great
income differences, the degrees
of hunger tells us nothing about
the density of the population.”
actually export more grains than
their imports. And they have the
carrying capacity to support their
population, not even mentioning
that many of the farmlands have
not yet developed.
The true causes of the hunger
in those nations are human-made
and can be reversed. It is com
pletely due to the unequal distri
bution of agricultural resource in
those nations. Also, even though
there is plenty of food, there are
many people who cannot afford
to buy it. Taking African coun

In your article you said that by us
being humanitarians we are only
prolonging their suffering. You
are wrong.
Helping one person can
make a difference. Helping many
will make a bigger difference.
Being a humanitarian does not
only mean feeding people. It is a
way life concerned with the inter
ests of all mankind. The truth is
that there is enough food to go
around.
Today the world produces enough
grain to provide the entire pop
ulation with 3,500 calories of
energy a day. That’s more cal
ories Ilian a lot of Americans
today wish to consume. (This is
just grain products ; there are still
plenty' of other foods to be dis
tributed). Along with the popula
tion growth, so has the increase
in food production grown even
more so.
Helping people will not kill
people. The problem is the people
that think like you. The reasons
food seems to be so scarce is
due to inequality and messed up
governments. A lot of times it
is more profitable for countries
to export their edibles than to
share them amongst their people.
It is always the poor that seem to
suffer so much. And it is sad that
these people who help produce
the food are the same people who
lack it.
Mr. Ludwig is right
about the population increase.
Something must be done, but
“tough love” is not the answer.
The answer is education and basic
human rights.

Holds O ut
dated Belief
To the Editors:
Personally, I disagree with
the article regarding the potential
devastation caused from human
itarian aid, as such a belief is
based on an outdated Malthusian
naturalistic dilemma.
The belief that, in a natu
rally occurring society, popula
tion levels will grow to such
large numbers that food produc
tion deficiencies will lead to death
from starvation is a rational yet
archaic notion. A more contem
porary approach should focus on
the understanding that we live
in a commercially-driven world
where particular cultures increase
food production for profit, by the
use of fertilizer, pesticide use,
etc. To illustrate this point, an
article printed in Food First, the
institute for food and develop
ment policy, claims that, “many
of the countries where hunger is
rampant export more in agricul
tural goods than they import’’
Therefore, such faminerinduced
countries (i.e. Africa, Brazil,
India* etc.) export more agricul
turally harvested goods than they
import which proves that scarcity
is not the cause of starvation.
So, you may then ask what is
the cause of malnutrition, human
itarian dependence, and/or star
vation? Well, it’s simple; causes
of hunger are from inequality
and an ineffective democracy.
Social and economic inequalities
interfere with the inability for
individuals to feed themselves.
Economic inequalities include
the desire to increase food pro
duction, thus supporting both
political elites and commerciallydriven market forces while ensur
ing famine. Altruistic policy
methods are established by these
political elites in which knowl
edge is shared at their costs, while
coincidently increasing agricul
tural production (i.e. govemmentally controlled USAID).
Secondly, an example of
social inequalities may be the
increase of birth rates by restrict
ing women’s rights. For instance,
such countries that have managed
to lower their birth rates include
those that have established wom
en’s rights and, coincidently,
better access to education and
health care. Therefore, humans
are not like the so-called squir
rels you compared us to, in that
we have the ability to change
using such knowledge. Moreover,
since we live in a world where
food is a commodity, scarcity is
not, nor will be, the issue; rather
it is inequalities of social power
and food production limitations
in hunger-stricken countries that
needs to be assessed.

What Is the
Cause of All
of This
Destruction?
To the Editors:
I am grieved. Grieved in the
very pit of my being because
of what is before me. Grieved
because ! live in a world where
tragedy occurs, but more because
I live in a world where we don’t
consider the cause of the destruc
tion. We look superficially at
what seems to be the cause,
always with a pointed finger and
a haughty attitude.
Why don’t we consider it
inwardly with the finger pointed
back at us? What is the cause of
all of this destruction? I am not
only talking about Sept. 11, but
also the death that occurs every
day.
We send our children to
school hoping they will be safe;
it can no longer be an expecta
tion. We send our children to
school hoping they will choose to
wait until marriage to have sex; it
can no longer be expected, and in
fact they are given condoms and
instructions on safe sex.
We have killed an entire gen
eration of babies calling it our
right. Why? Do we not expect to
be treated the same? Do we not
have any respect for life? Why
do we live in a society where a
price of an egg can reach $4,000,
but the price of an abortion is free
to most? Where did the problem
begin?
We are all guilty, all of us.
If we have not partaken in one
of these acts we have done some
thing else against our neighbor.
As a country that was founded as
one nation under God, we have
been blessed. Now we see how
much we need his Grace, his
undeserved favor. We have been
pushing him out of our lives, our
homes, our work places and our
schools for the last 40 years.
Sept. 11 is an example of
what happens when a loving God
takes his hand from us for forty
minutes. You may see this as
Gods judgment.. You may ask
yourself how could a loving God
allow this to happen? I say that
is exactly why he allowed this to
happen. He is a loving God.
What happened on the 11th
is a travesty of the most heinous
kind. It happened because we
live in a world that has the abil
ity to choose between good and
evil, right and wrong. Osama bin
Laden chooses evil and we chose
wrong.
We were wrong when we
shoved the name of God, which is
Jesus, out of our schools, homes,
and lives. The God of the Bible
promises that if we repent and
turn our hearts back to him, he
will rise up and protect us. If
we will return to him he will
make his enemies perish. He
says you are either for him, or
against him.
God did not make this
happen, but he allowed it to
happen. In his mercy he pre
vented the rest of the terrorists’
plan to fail. It is my hope that
all men know the love of God,
and recognize this as a very loud
knock. How loud and how long
are we going to make him knock
before we let him back into the
heart of our nation?

Word
Choice
in Poor
Taste
Staff Letter
Dear Editors:
Referencing the article
“Amputate President Gonzalez”
in the Oct. 23 issue of The Pride,
I understand the author’s point
of view but the use of the word
“Amputate” was in poor taste
and is very inappropriate in this
case.
In today’s jittery and uneasy
environment with the anthrax
scare and all, one should be
careful in his/her use of words,
especially those that sound threat
ening. Remember Ms. Braun’s
(San Diego Unified School
District) threatening comments
towards a couple of board mem
bers?
I’m no scholastic, but the
word amputate means to severe
or to cut, as in amputate a limb.
Amputation could very well cause
someone serious physical harm.
I believe there are better choices
of words which are equally effec
tive to prove a point.

�Cross Country Ends Season

Pride Feature Editor
The men’s cross country team
ends the fall season by placing fif

The NAIA National Cham
pionships were in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Twenty-eight teams
participated in an 8-kilometer
race on November 17.
Out of the seven San Marcos
athletes, only one returned from
last year. Throughout the season
the Cougar men, led by fresh
man Rene “Billy” Reyes, were at
least 25 seconds away from each
other. “It was my best year ever,
we ran as a team and we qualify
as a team,” said Reyes. Reyes

A s America fights a war witto
Iraq, some people are looking1 at
the l awf M p&ce and questioning
the security of personal liberties,
while otters are willing to lose
some rights in exchange? for safety.
Looking at the history of America,
civil liberties are often a victim of
war.
To better understand the threat
that war poses to civil liberties, it
is important to review civil liberties
in the past wartimes of America.
In 1798, only, 10 years after the
ratification of the Constitution,
America entered the Quasi War
with France and passed the Alien
and Sedition Acts of 1798. Among
other laws, the acts made it illegal to
protest a^ains| the a<&riînistîïtion's
policy, a direct violation of the f irst
Amendment. The Act was not very
jpovtërfiil because!! only resulted in
25 arrests, of i #Iich only 10 wetSè
convicted- *
.
In the 1860s, President Abraham
•Lincoln, in order to "keep the union
together," passed emergency Jaws
that violated the Fifth Amendment
and Habeas Corpus, outlined in
Section 9 of the Constitution.
Military commanders were allowed
to suspend due process and were
held prisoners for years without a
trial or at times, without suspicion
pf a crime.
The Espiona|e Act of 1917,
which was passed during World
War I, allowed for the prosecution
of 2,000 people, convicting 1,000
of them. When ratified in 1918, it
forbade opposition to the war by
banning "disloyal utterances Such
utterances included "unpatriotic"
conversation.
For instance,
criticizing the Young Men's
Christian Association (YMCA) and
the Red Cross was also considered
unlawful. Other comments that
were banned were those questioning
the U.S. aad British- relationship,
discouraging women from knitting
socks for the troops, and citing ¡¡¡at
contrary t o the teaching of
Jesus.

"The Yellow Ribbon Program is a suicide prevention
program that is worldwide,
that serves all 50 states and 47
other countries," said Hilz. "I
became interested in the program when my good friend
committed suicide when I
was 15 and they were handing
these cards out at his funeral."
The small white cards have a
yellow ribbon printed on one
side with a caption that says,
"This ribbon is a lifeline." A
person in distress can hand
the card to someone, a parent,
a friend, a pastor, or a doctor
to reach out and ask for help.

According to the National
Mental Health Awareness
Campaign, suicide is the
leading cause of death among
college students. Going to
college can be an especially
difficult time of adjustment
for students, many of whom
are leaving home f or the
first time. Other stresses
include leaving family and
friends, high expectations of
academic- success, increased
amount of homework, and, for
some, working while going to
school. These stresses can
cause depression to appear

According to the official
remarks made by Miller at the
presentation to the House of
Representatives, the College
Affordability and Lifetime
Savings Act proposes to help
ease the burden of student
loan debt for millions of
Americans. The act will
possibly change the current

will deliver a larger rebate

the Yellow Ribbon Program,
said, "I want to acknowledge Lindsay because she's
worked really hard to bring

added, "I wish [suicide]
didn't exist. But it does and
it's a growing problem."
Rivera said that the actual
statistics for suicide are much
higher than reported because
police won't label a death a
suicide unless there's clear
evidence, such as a suicide
note, that the death was
intentional. But other statistics about suicide are clear
and alarming. Eleven young
people, between the ages
of 15 and 24, die by suicide
every day in this country.
Since 1990, there has been
a 120 percent increase in suicides in students between the
ages of 10 and 14 years old.
"Suicide is an equal opportunity killer," said Rivera. It
is not particular to one race
or socio-economic group.
But, Rivera said, "Suicide is
not about death and not about
dying - it's about
ending the pain."
Some signs that someone
may be considering suicide
are:
Depression or withdrawal
Changes in sleeping or eating

have worked and continue to

said Schaffman.
A panel made up of the

gave
closure to the evening, as
the audience was encouraged
to ask questions and engage
with the current discussion of
Women's History Month and
Women's rights. The topics
addressed included the role
models of the three women,
which included mothers,
grandmothers, female artists,
and earlier "girl power"
movements in history as well
as the reasons each woman
gave for being active in such
an ambitious cause. When

"It was actually pretty

To better understand the turmoil that is ever-present in Palestine, one must understand the history, the present and the possible

overshadowed the others. Is it the university's alcohol policy not to let The Pride student newspaper
advertise happy hours at restaurants and bars, drink
specials on college nights at dance clubs, and alcohol in general?
If this is so, why is it that Rick Moore, Director of
the Office of Communications which puts out "In
the Loop" every week, allows student organizations
to advertise their social events at restaurant bars?
According to Rick Moore, he does not want students at Cal State San Marcos to be perceived in this
light (As barflies),so why does put out these social
gatherings which encourage students to stay after 8
P.M. for karaoke. Are these student organizations
getting special permission from the president's
office to do this?
What about Cougar night at Zip & Zack's? I am

The Pride relies on a limited budget given
to them by the university in order to operate. Many stories have been held back
from staff writers because of the lack of
funding. Why can't the same rules apply
for The Pride newspaper and "In the Loop"

route would give some power to The Pride
over what is published and what is not.

The Pride is currently undergoing negotiations with the office of Student Affairs and

been very helpful and hopefully we will see a change in the Pride's restrictions sometime in the near future. Stay tuned for further updates.

There are two key criticisms that

Yes, we all have a right to our opinions,

�A response to Anna Hall
I believe you have a misunderstanding of the concept of
conservatism. By all traditional
definitions, conservatism means
cautious, moderate, or disposed
to preexisting establishments,
institutions and norms. Simply
put, being a conservative means
not wanting to "rock the boat"
for the sake of stability. Understanding this, all media, except
for independent media (both
left and right), is conservative.
ABC, NBC, FOX, CNN, etc. all
broadcast to vast segments of
the American public — to people
with extremely diverse backgrounds and opinions. Because
of sponsorship, advertisements,
and for the sake of ratings* these
companies very shrewdly avoid
pressing any extreme opinion
(right or left), as they do not
want to alienate viewers. In this
sense, the media is neither left
nor right, but strategically moderate because they do not want to
"rock the boat." This is the argument of a conservative media: the
industry chooses not to side with
any particular cause; therefore,
by definition the media is very
conservative. Labeling the media
as conservative is not necessarily
a pejorative term though. It is
simply stating that the industry is
limiting the scope of discussion
and the facts or viewpoints presented (left or right). Media bias
is a two-way street.
My second point I wanted to
raise is your fear of liberalism of
which I will try to assuage. As
opposed to conservatism (favoring the status quo), liberalism
seeks to press the frontiers of
social progress. I assure you,
liberals are not "Pinko Commie
Socialists," they are people just
like you and me. However, rather
than embracing the status quo,
they challenge it in hopes of a
more positive future. The history
of the United States is rife with
such examples. The. American
Revolution: a small minority of
the colonial population decided
that they had had enough and it
was time to part with England.
Their defiance gave us our independence. In the early 1800s, a
pestering group of liberals waged
a 30+-year campaign to end the
horrid practice of slavery. In
the late 1800s, the working man
demanded his rights against the
evils of unrestrained business;
they gave us labor unions, eighthour days, overtime, workman's
compensation, etc. After nearly
an entire century of agitation
and civil disobedience, women
procured suffrage with the 19th
Amendment. In the 1960s we
witnessed the Civil Rights movement for racial equality, feminism, and anti-Vietnam protests.
Now it's a struggle for gay rights.
Even larger is the movement
against war with Iraq. None of
these movements were AntiAmerican, even though every
single one of them was labeled
as such. Without & doubt, the
men and women overseas risk
their lives to defend our freedom,
but we cannot forget, or simply
ignore, where these freedoms
came from in thè first place. We
need each other. That is the
beauty of democracy: we may not
see eye to eye, but together we
make it work.
liberalism for communism, and
conservatism for fascism. Your
level of fanaticism against progress rivals that,of the Middle
Eastern Fundamentalism and is
quite disturbing. There is a large
difference from being a conservative and being right wing, and
frankly, fascism at home scares
me more than terrorism from
abroad. If you are so concerned
about PAN, you should stop by a
meeting; the door is always open.
Until then, stop with the witty
clichés and clever quips and pretend to be an educated student. It
is quite sad when Communication majors cannot conduct a civil
discussion.

marijuana is the answer, then that
is what they would want. Giving
them the right to grow marijuana
in their own homes is putting a lot
of trust not only to the patients,
but to others as well. I think that
these patients should be allowed
to smoke this plant of their own
free will, however I believe that it
should be done in the presence of
doctors.
Even though patients are
allowed to grow small amounts
of marijuana in their homes, it
seems logical that they would
want to keep this product out of
reach for someone they either
know or love very deeply. The
number of kids that are addicted
to this drug is outrageous and by
allowing patients to grow their
own marijuana, we are pretty
much allowing these children to
become addicted.

In this time of uncertainty for
the United States, .it seems almost
frivolous to be discussing sports.
However* as a prominent American institution, ^sports are profoundly affected by major international events, such as the war
with Iraq. Interesting questions
have arisen, not about the content
of the games, but about whether
the games should even be played.
The leaders of all the sports currently in-season, which include
college basketball, professional
basketball, hockey, and baseball,
have given serious and well-publicized thought to this issue, but
thus far have all decided to let the
games be played as scheduled.
First and foremost, if sporting events were to be cancelled,
we would be letting the enemy
further affect our way of life.
Whether or not you personally
are a sports fan, there is no doubt
that sports play an intricate role in
the lives of many Americans. By
changing our traditions, whether
it is through postponing sports
or anything else, we essentially
bring the war home. That's not
to say we shouldn't show our support (or opposition) for the war,
nor does it mean we should avoid
tributes to the soldiers who fight
for us; we simply need to draw the

�Things You Need to Know About NAFTA
Dear Editors:
I am a freshman at the
university who is very
concerned with how little
students know about the
insulting fiasco that is
NAFTA (North American
Free Trade Agreement).
Students should know about
the oppression that NAFTA
causes. The area that the
agreement affects most is
Latin America.
Albeit trade is way up from
seven years ago, there are
many problems that result
from this. In no way does
the lowered prices of goods
from increased competition make up for all the job
losses that emerged from
NAFTA, not to mention
all the environmental damages and social dislocation.
NAFTA supporters believe
that the agreement assists
Mexico's economy drasti-
cally, but they do not know
that the nation was already
liberalizing its economy
for the better before the
United States unnecessarily
stepped in.
They did this by beginning to invest in foreign
goods and dropping tariffs.
It's hard to tell whether the
Mexican economy would
be any better or worse
today if NAFTA had not
been agreed upon. During
the United States debate
over whether or not to pass
NAFTA, pro-NAFTA economists proposed that there
would be thousands of new
jobs per 1$ billion in trade
surplus, obviously assuming that the United States'
exports would explode
with a huge increase. However, when the peso crisis
launched Mexico into a
recession, bringing the U.S.
trade into deficit with it (the
nation's exports surpassed
that of its imports), U.S. job
losses nearly reached the
hundred thousand mark.
It turns out that Clinton's
and Bush's proposed numbers about x number of jobs
being created by x number
of billion dollars was
based upon guesses rather
than proof The massive
amount of layoffs caused
by NAFTA is indisputable.
In the U.S., nearly 150,000
laborers were eligible for
NAFTA's
Transitional
Adjustment Assistance Program in 1997, yet only five
percent of them actually
received any assistance or
benefits from the program.
Generally speaking, laid
off U.S. workers earn a
much lower average commission after they find a
new job. While the loss of
jobs in the U.S. is easy to
recognize, Mexico's workers have also been losing
jobs significantly under
NAFTA. This is because it
became much more difficult for laborers to unionize
after NAFTA was passed.
Companies usually threaten
to close down part of their
business after attempts at
unionizing occur in their
facilities, andfifteenperated agricultural competicent of businesses did in

Freshman,
A Response From a "Pinko Commie Socialist"
As a member of PAN, I could
not resist the urge of responding
to a letter, which is full of insults
and slurs (pinko commie socialist, pothead, brainwashed, uneducated, shut your slack jawed
mouths), written by someone
who actually does not deserve
to be taken into account. However, for the sake of clarifying
a few things for those who read
the opinion titled "Slack Jawed"
written by Anna Hall, I decided
to write this letter.
First of all, I cannot understand
why you are so angry with PAN?
Why is it so hard for you to
accept the fact there are people
out there do think different
than you do? What happened to
democracy, free speech and freedom to have different opinions?
Did you come and try to talk to
one of us?
I have a solution though.
I challenge you to a political
debate. We can talk about any
ideology, any thinker, or any
writer. It would be a pleasure
for me to hear your criticisms of
Karl Marx and his works since
you sound like you know what
you are talking about in regards
to Marx and Marxist theories. I
would be delighted to hear your
disagreements of the Communist
Manifesto or The Capital. If you
wish, we can discuss conservatives and conservative ideologies:
Adam Smith, Francis Fukuyama,
William Saffire, Paul Wolfowitz?
You pick. How about Islamic
fundamentalism and Sayyid
Qutb? Would you prefer to talk
about Jerry Falwell and Christian
Reconstruction theories? We can
go way back and discuss Plato,
Aristotle, St. Augustin. How
about we discuss the emergence
of contemporary political ideologies since the enlightenment
from Weber to Kant, Sartre to
Rousseau, Hobbes to Locke,
Mussolini to Lenin? If your
argument is that PAN members
are illiterate about politics and
political ideologies and brainwashed by only reading Karl
Marx, I challenge you to come
and have a political debate with
me, serious offer. A person who
is capable of insulting, should
also be capable of putting out an
argument to back those insults.
Maybe after that you will learn
your lesson about not judging and
insulting people you don't even
know. Forget about Marx, I bet
you don't even know the difference between Communism and
Socialism.
Since elementary school we're
pushed to succeed, to go to college, and succeed there. And
we're told that we need a degree
to succeed. I've been attending
CSUSM since the fall of 2002.
Since then, tuition has gone up
and parking fees have more than
doubled. And they continue to
increase.
Society looks at the lower class
and blames their financial problem is due to the lack of education. How are they supposed to
attend a higher education system
without the money? Sure now
there are scholarships, but now
the middle class is the ones who
see higher education as a financial burden. They're too rich to
qualify for most scholarships yet
too poor to be able to pay for the
cost themselves without starching a penny here and there.
To get rich we must study, but
to study we must be rich. In no
way am I completely blaming
CSUSM for the tuition increase,
but for the parking fee increase
and the ones yet to come, those
words will be left unsaid. Sure
I can write the governor or
any other government official
and wait months, if at that, for
a response, but one voice is
never as strong as hundreds or
thousands. As for the parking
increase, it was said that there
was a window of opportunity to
discuss the matter. I remember
hearing about the meeting an
hour before it was supposed to
start.
Great notice.
Some of us have class that can't
be missed, exams, or even work.
The majority of students can't
just drop everything in an hour.
If something this important is up
in the air for discussion a good
amount of notice (say a week or
more) should be given, as well
as notification of the discussion
throughout campus. Because
of the outrageous parking fees,
students are taking risk by packing in the shopping area, and
soon in near by neighborhoods
(that are nearly a mile away from
campus). At least than we won't
have to worry about students not
getting enough exercise!
Concerning the tuition, I'm not
fighting for no fees, but at least a
sensible one. For students there's
three possible ways of dealing
with tuition: pay it yourself,
scholarships, or student loans. I
can see how paying it yourself
at a community college, but at
a four-year it's stress. Do I have
enough, what other bills will I
not be able to pay, how many
extra hours must I work? Scholarships, to me personally seem to
be confusing. For the vast majority, just to qualify we have to be

Higher Education is Not Cheap
Dear Editors:
going to disappoint you but your
letter did not offend me or upset
me at all. I just had a big smile
on my face when I read it. Obviously, 3 years of college is not
enough for some people to get
out of Junior High behavior
poor, of a minority, have good
grades, be involved in school
some how, and have racked up
community service hours.
And loans! It's the easiest at the
ftioment thing to do, but jafter that
it seems that you're getting your
pay back for years after. The rates
of tuition should be the same
always, increasing discourages
future students from applying to
a four-year school. Our society
stresses students to achieve high
education, yet makes it a great
expense that can't be obtained,
and on top of that continues to
raise the cost.
If the governor or a government
official builds his campaign on
what society values essential
- education - he or she should
increase the quality, not the
price.

Artist Erick Otto visits CSUSM

On Friday, Feb. 9 the unveiling of Erik Otto's paintings and

Otto as he walked through his
installation, describing his art
work and his motivation.

Plan B. or the Morning
After Pill, is now available to
students over the counter at
the Student Health and Counseling Services, amongst various other services. In nine
states, including California,
the FDA has changed restrictions to allow individuals that
are 18 and older to obtain
the product over the counter,
while individuals under 17
can obtain the product with a
prescription.
CSUSM student, Laura
Contreras shares her perspective. "I think the right to
choose is a good idea, but it
should not be available over
the counter. I'm worried that
younger women, who might
not be informed, may use the
morning after pill as a form of
contraception without understanding their other options."
At the CSUSM Health
Center, the cost for the pill is
$25.00. Male or female students can purchase the product, with or without counseling, up to two times per
month. After the second time
in a month, an appointment
is required. The main reason
for requiring an appointment
is because the product is not
intended for frequent use, nor
does it substitute birth control. Users should know that
the product is advertised as
up to 89% effective for reducing pregnancy risk, and does
not protect from STD's. Nursing Major Naomi Strong said,
"I personally believe that the
plan B pill is a good backup
method to birth control. However, I don't think that the
pill should be used as a routine. Women should take the
necessary precautions and
be responsible when having
intercourse but people do
make mistakes which also

chance to apply and study for an
academic year in Australia, New
Zealand and South Africa.
The application date for Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa is May 1. A decision on
whether the student is qualified to go will be made in late
August. A complete application
must contain an IP Application,
two faculty recommendations
and official university transcripts
from all colleges and universities
attended. According to the CSU
International Programs website,
"Admission of a student is based
on academic, linguistic, and personal qualifications, and on the
appropriateness of the students'
proposed plan of study to their
degree objective." There is no
application fee, and those looking
to apply are best advised to meet
with an IP Campus Coordinator.
An academic year of studying
abroad is beneficial to students
because not only does it take
time to culturally assimilate to
your new surroundings, but the
extensive amount of time also
crosses the line of being a visitor
into becoming a true resident in
the community in which you are
studying. Stockey understands
the importance of spending an
academic year abroad and said,
"Year long programs provide an
even greater opportunity for a
richer cultural experience."
IP enrollment fees are kept at
an affordable rate because student costs are partially supported
by the State of California. The
cost of studying abroad is dependent on what country you wish to
study and their economic situation. Students pay for their own
housing, transportation, meals
and any extra costs. Scholarships
and financial aid are available.
However, what the CSU International Programs website considers to be most important is the
expérience you attain by studying
abroad and considers studying
abroad "A long-term investment
in yourself and in your future."
Students do receive credit
for all coursework that is completed while abroad. All completed coursework is considered
CSU resident credit. Academic
Reports are prepared by the
Office of International Programs,
who converts host university
information into CSU campus
terms. Students must meet with
a counselor prior to their departure in order to understand how
the work the student completed
abroad applies within their scope
of requirements.
Should students have any further inquiries on studying abroad
they can visit the CSUSM website of global affairs at http://

One of the many benefits of
being a member of the CSU

that is not only academically
stimulating, but also makes for
a life-long experience. CSUSM
International Programs advisor,
Jan Stockey said, "Studying in
another country brings a dimension to your education that you
cannot imagine." As students
separate themselves from what

themselves to exist in a foreign

encountering new experiences,
students acquire a new understanding of not only themselves,

With these things in mind, our status
and the remaining steps toward completion of the signalization of the intersection at Palm Canyon and Craven, as well
as traffic control at the crosswalk from Lot
C to the Dome, are as follows:
• The engineer has completed the
design of the intersection of Palm
Canyon and Craven. The University
requested this design shortly after fall
semester's accident.
• The President's Executive Council
allocated an initial $75,000 to
Facilities Development and
Management to begin work on this
projeqt.
• The cost estimates for the project,
which includes design, installation,
inspection, and
• contingency, is $300,000. The
University will need to fund the
additional $225,000.
• The University is required to follow
a bidding process which takes
approximately two
• months. The University can now
begin advertising for bidders and
anticipates that it will
• take at least 10 weeks to procure the
equipment.
• Last fall, I indicated that we anticipated
completion in spring 2007. The process
took a little longer than projected and
we now expect to complete the project
during summer 2007.

Saturday, Feb. 10. Coach
Jennifer Milo had her ladies

roughly 200. Mr. Taco, the
Mexican eatery that also

Cougars stepped foot on
their home turf for the first
time in the program's history. Coach Milo said of the

condition and the parking is

Coach Milo put her ace

in the first game of a double
header against Vanguard
University, a Christian
School in Costa Mesa, CA.
It was the right decision,
and the sophomore Lerno
was toughest when Vanguard had runners on base.
After a single and balk in
the first allowed a runner to
get to third, Lerno induced
a groundball to third base
and Amanda Sanchez tossed
over to first for the third
out. Vanguard pushed home
a run in the second on a
weak grounder that somehow found a way through
the right side. Lerno got the
next hitter to ground back
to Sanchez at third and left
the bases loaded. In the third
the Cougars dodged a bullet
after a leadoff triple by Vanguard's Sarah Howe. Lerno
got the next two on strikeouts before getting a lazy
fly ball to left field where
Leilani Madrigal snared
it for the final out of the
inning. Lerno definitely had
her good stuff on this day
stating, "I had lots of movement." The game was a real
pitcher's dual as the Cougars
had trouble with the high
heat of Vanguard pitcher
Jennifer Olvera, who struck
out 14 on the day. It wasn't
until the fifth inning that the
Cougars put together a rally
for the home fans. Erica
Coelho walked with one out.
After she hustled to beat the
throw to second on a bunt by
Lindsey Preovolos, Madigal came up with two outs
and two on. She hit a looper
towards the Bermuda Tri-
angle, the area behind shortstop and between the center
and left fielders. Vanguard's
shortstop had to have heard
the roar of the crowd as the
ball tipped just off the edge
of her glove. When the dust
settled, Coelho scored the
tying run and Madigal stood
on second with a game tying
RBI double.
The game remained tied
1-1 as both teams missed
opportunities with runners
on base. After Lerno got a
clutch two out strikeout on a
close pitch with runners on
first and second, Vanguard
Coach Beth Renkoski was
kicking up dirt near the visiting dugout. The umpire was
inconsistent but Lento said,
"He got better as the game
went on." The teams played
into extra innings where
each side gets to start their
half inning with a runner on
second base. Vanguard was
able to get a run in the eighth
despite the brilliant play by
Lerno and her catcher Preovolos on a squeeze attempt.
The Cougars failed to get
a run in the bottom of the
eighth and lost the game 21.
It was a hard fought game
and led Coach Milo to say
the team is "getting used to
each other." She was also
happy with the performance
of Lerno in the loss saying,
"she just got stronger and
stronger out there."
As for the extra inning
"International Rule" where
the inning starts with a
runner on second base,
Coach Milo said, "to me it
doesn't show the better team,
but we both do get it. Sometimes it falls your way and
sometimes it doesn't." Freshman Erica Coelho seemed to
like it saying you're guaranteed "no ties." It is reminiscent of college football when
each team gets the ball at the
25 yard line in overtime.

I can't really answer that question. Is San Diego a cursed city

If there is a curse, what curse is it

Making the grade: No grade inflation at CSUSM
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
Paula Montagna, a graduate
student here at Cal State University San Marcos in Literature and
Writing, transferred here with a
4.0 GPA. During her undergraduate studies, she received one A-.
Her GPA is now a 3.9 without any
method of making it higher. "By
using a grading criteria in which
students may earn an A-, but
offering no option to earn an A+,"
said Montagna, "CSUSM uses a
grading system which punishes
students for their imperfections,
rather than reward students for
their achievements."
Is an "A+" an ever-elusive
grade at this school? How did
our current grading system get
implemented? What is the philosophy behind it? Founding faculty
member Larry W. Cohen, professor emeritus of biology, has some
of the answers.
About why grades top out at A,
he said, "We (the Founding Faculty) wrestled with the question
ourselves at the time but decided
to stay with the long-established
standard of 'A' as the top possible grade rather than opening
the possibility of escalating to
A+, A++, etc. and undermining
the integrity of the A." The plus/
minus system of grading is meant
to indicate the subtleties of students' performance.
Cohen also sheds light on the
possibility of attaining an A+.
"Over the years at CSUSM, I did
issue A+ grades on occasion. The
grade went to one or two people
whose performance was way out
ahead of even the other 'A' students. I would estimate, after
looking over my grade books,
that it was with a frequency of
about 1-2 per hundred." The
grade of A+ shows up on the transcript, but is not calculated into
the grade point average as more
than just a regular A.
Grade inflation was one of the
concerns of the Founding Faculty when instituting the grading
policy. Cohen said, "Too many
faculty are concerned with being
popular and for them A+ may
become the typical A grade, fulfilling the fears of the Founding
Faculty when they considered the
question."
Grade inflation, according to
national statistics, has been a problem among postsecondary institutions since at least the 1980s. It
is defined as the increase of the
number of high grades over time,
and is often associated with lax academic standards. With more and
more students achieving higher
grades, it is easy to conclude that
standards have been slipping; with
students reporting that they contribute less effort than those who had
preceded them, it is conclusive to
attribute the higher grades phenom-
enon on the institution and not on
students simply becoming smarter.
Many measures have been taken
by other universities to combat
grade inflation. Some universities
limit the number of A' grades a
professor may give. Jennifer Diffley, an alumnus of Brigham Young
University reported, "It was impossible to get anything higher than a
D at BYU. The professors made
it their personal mission to ensure
that no one ever received A's on
assignments. It was to avoid a little
thing called 'grade inflation.'"
While CSUSM does not employ
such harsh tactics, grade inflation is still a concern according to
Cohen who helped to implement
our current grading systeip.
CSUSM celebrates Black History Month
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
"I still have a dream. It is
a dream deeply rooted in the
American dream. I have a dream
that one day this nation will rise
up and live out the true meaning of its creed: - 'We hold these
truths to be self-evident, that all
men are created equal.'" - Martin
Luther King Jr.
February marks the annual
celebration of "Black History
Month," for Americans nationwide. What began on February
12, 1926 as the first celebration
created by Dr. Carter Godwin
Woodson, a Harvard Scholar,
has now become the nationally observed "Black History
Month." Traditionally celebrated
in the second week of February,
Dr. Woodson chose to celebrate
African American history in
February as a tribute to Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, both of whom Woodson felt
had a significant impact on African American history, and both
of whom celebrated birthdays in
the month of February. Honoring

�The history of University 'Voice
Voleotioes Day
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Ah, Valentine's Day. The day set aside
for lovers to share their feelings for one
another. The day dreaded by single people
around the world. The day chocolate and
flower vendors make a fortune, and the
day that cupid makes his presence known,
shooting heart-tipped arrows off into
oblivion hoping to inflict hopeless romantics and lovebirds with la amour.
Many might be wondering how the
uber-commercialized holiday came about,
while others could care less as long as the
chocolates and candy-studded greetings
continue to abound. For those, however,
who are curious, Valentine's Day as we
know it is said to be a combination of an
event and a historical person. The event is
said to have begun in the pagan times of
ancient Rome, with the annual celebration
of a fertility festival called the "Feast of
Lupercalia," which traditionally occurred
in mid-February. The festival was known
for pairing the mating of young men and
women each year through a sweepstake
arrangement. More often than not, it is
said that the arranged couple would fall in
love and eventually marry.
Also linked to the Valentine's Day festival, are the infamous legends of Saint Valentine of Rome. Saint Valentine lived in
Rome under the sovereignty of Emperor
Claudius II. To retain a valiant army,
Emperor Claudius incessantly enlisted
soldiers, but to his misfortune was able
keep soldiers, because the majority of
men did not want to join his army because
of their commitment to their wives and
families. Upon realizing this, Claudius
forbade all engagements and marriages in
Rome. Thus, Valentine, an idealistic and
romantic priest began to organize secret
marriages for young couples. As soon as
Claudius unveiled Valentine's treachery,
he imprisoned Valentine, and later executed him on Feb. 14, circa 270 A.D. Subsequently, Valentine became the patron
saint for lovers during the Middle Ages
in France and England. Then in 498 A.D.,
Pope Gelasius chose to end the celebration of the pagan festival, "Feast of Lercalia," and thus declared February 14 St.
Valentine's Day.
Exchanging "valentines" and love notes
is one of the central elements of Valentine's Day. It is rumored that this practice
began with Saint Valentine himself, who
while in prison fell in love with a young
girl, thought to have been the jailor's
daughter. Prior to his execution, it is supposed that he wrote her a love letter, which
he signed: "From your Valentine."
It is also said that Valentine's Day falls
on Febr 14 each year because during the
Middle Ages in England and France that
date marked the commencement of bird
mating season.
Furthermore, the oldest accounted
for Valentine is said to have been written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans,
while he was imprisoned in the Tower of
London.
Nonetheless, though the rumors and
allegation surrounding Saint Valentine
seem to flow in abundance, they all have
one thing in common; they portray Saint
Valentine as a heroic and romantic man,
suggesting that Valentine's Day should be
a day for love and romance.

As a child, Pennypacker's
favorite books were "Treasure
Island," "Black Beauty," and "The
Yearling." Her decision to write a
children's book, however, didn't
come until sjie was raising her
own children. "I started hanging
out in libraries; that's what you
do when you have kids." She read
the best of children's literature
- and the worst. When she realized how much "junk" was floating around in the children's book
market, Pennypacker decided to
try her hand at writing.

driven books." The inspiration
for the character of Clementine
was her two children. It is understandable, then, how attached
she becomes to her characters: "I
carry my characters around." Her
son especially lent specific character traits to Clementine - his
impulsive, distracted temperament, characteristic of Attention
Deficit Disorder,-combined with
his artistic, empathetic nature,
also characteristic of ADD.
Pennypacker said that she wanted
to show the positive aspects of
ADD without belittling the difficulties. As a result, all of the
adults in "Clementine" are very
supportive of the third-grader. "I
wish the world had [told my son],
'What a wonderful artist you
are,'" said the author.
When speaking of the writing process, Pennypacker refered to "flow." "There-is a feeling of Tightness when you tap in

Theater Review
*®The Four cf Us"
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
Itamar Moses had the audience
laughing out loud at his latest
play "The Four of Us," currently
running at the Old Globe Theater. Located in Balboa Park near
downtown San Diego, the Old
Globe is one of the town's first
professional theaters, hosting 50
minute versions of Shakespeare
back in 1935. The Cassius Carter
Centre Stage was renovated out
of the original restaurant, the Falstaff Tavern in 1965. This 225
seat arena is incredibly intimate.
The stage is in the center, and the
actors perform to every angle,
giving everyone the feeling of
nearness to the action. With the
360 degree seating, only four
rows occupy each side, so every
seat is a good one.
In "The Four of Us," actors
Gideon Banner (Benjamin) and
Sean Dugan (David) experience
friendship while entering the life
o £a writer. The play opens by
dropping the audience into the
middle of a conversation at lunch
regarding Benjamin signing his
first book deal. David, who has
chosen to go into playwriting,
has yet to have any recognition
of his talent. The sarcastic wit of
actoiiSean Dugan and tfte clever
dialogue written by Itamar Moses
reveal the envy and resentment
going on in the mind of David.
The play goes through confusing shifts in time, clueing the
audience in with the clothing of
the cast and their conversation.
However, the relationship of the
rieedy David and the affable Benjamin is hilarious. They've been
friends since a summer camp
after high school and have seen
each other grow into separate
careers in writing. Along the way
they share the awkwardness of
dating and money-making.
The acting in this play was
very well done. Sean Dugan, who
has appeared in HBO's dynamic
cellblock series OZ and episodes
of the Law & Order series, did a
brilliant job as David. His sniveling jealousy is believable, while
Gideon Banner, with strictly theatre experience, plays the success-won't-change-me role with
a real air of pride. Yet, with only
two actors, the back and forth
gets a bit tiresome at spots.
There seems to be an inward
reflection by playwright Itamar
Moses. He pokes fun at the literary field and its ability to create
celebrities andpoison friendships.
Moses is considered the next big
thing in the theater crowd, having
much critical acclaim in New
York City and nationally. At 29
years old, Moses' future seems
very bright. : K ^HJ , :
Bring your thinking cap to this
very clever comedy surrounded
by some cheap laughs at an abundant use of the "F" word. With
cigarette-smoking on stage and a
male bonding marijuana puffing
session, "The Four of Us" is most
definitely intended for a mature
audience.

�Movie Review
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
"The Messengers" is the stateside directing debut of Danny
and Oxide Pang. Isn't "Oxide" an
original name? It is pretty much
the most original thing about this
film, as the Pang brothers borrow
elements of three or four other
horror movies and mix it up into
90 minutes of tired horror cliché.
Instead of exploring the possibility that children can see things
that grownups cannot (as the
trailers for this movie implied),
the film goes off into a very different direction that fails to make
any sense.
What kills me the most is how
much potential this movie had
and how much was wasted in
falling back on the already-doneto-death horror tricks. You'll see
psychotic crows reminiscent of
Hitchcock's "The Birds," contorted
crawling-on-the-walls
ghosts which gives you "The
Grudge" deja vu, and a giant
haunted house similar to — I
don't know — every horror movie
«
T V Messengers fails to deliver
ever made.
The ' story follows the Solomon family who move to North
Dakota from Chicago in hopes of
making a fortune on cultivating
sunflower seeds. The dad, Roy
(Dylan McDermott), and mom,
Denise (Penelope Ann Miller),
are the oblivious parental duo.
Roy is a hard-working farmer
with an undeniable determination and a body way too hot for
a dad. Denise is a typical 1950sstyle housewife whose fortes
include bed making and making
a killer glass of lemonade. Jess
(Kristen Stewart) is their teenage
daughter who is deeply affected
by something horrible that happened in Chicago. Ben (played by
twins Evan and Theodore Turner)
is the toddler who, conveniently,
cannot talk but sees much.
Right before planting time,
Roy meets up with a mysterious
drifter (John Corbett) whom he
hires on the spot after learning
his first name. Meanwhile, the
house is playing tricks on Jess
and Ben who are the only ones
harassed by ghosts.
The actors, most notably Stewart, whose past credits include
"The Panic Room" and "Cold
Creek Manor," do an amazing job
with what they are given. Stewart
is wonderful in this role, giving
her character the balance of
maturity and innocence. McDermott, of "The Practice," gives a
sincere and believable performance as a dad who is trying to
hold his family together. Miller
never misses a beat as a protective and over concerned mother.
The Turner brothers play a wonderfully creepy part, which is a
credit to them and the directors.
Corbett plays his role so suavely
that you almost doubt he is a
threat to the Solomon family.
The music and sound design
were both done nicely. Though
the music was a very obvious cue
to what is going to happen next,
the score was well-written and
well utilized. The sound design,
in particular, was eerie and scary
without going overboard into
cliché-land. Possibly the only
time I was even a little frightened
during this film was due to the
excellently crafted sound.
The direction and cinematography both were not too unoriginal
but seemed to take you too much
out of the experience instead of
bringing you in.
Overall, the plot is the thing
that gets in the way of this movie
the most. Apart from the fact that
moviegoers had to suffer through
tired, recycled horror tactics, the
movie simply did not make any
sense at the end. Small plot holes
are easy to ignore, but when they
are as big as the sunflower field
on screen, they go from ignorable to extremely annoying in
less time than it says to say "The
Messengers." And, after seeing
this entire movie and taking
pretty good notes, I still have no
idea why it is even called that. If
you enjoy pointing out plot holes
and mocking movie discrepancies, this film was made for you.
Otherwise, "The Messengers" is
completely skippable.

Icy and drizzling weeks in
the near future demand a winter
ale. The packaging, containing
six 12 ounce bottles, sold the
beer. On the packaging stands
a snowman wrapped with a
scarf, mittens, beanie, and even
goggles. In light of the fact that
snowmen are the coolest of all
men, the snowman smugly holds
a frosty mug of frothy beer as
snowflakes descend from the
beer heavens above.
Strong aromas emerged from
the bottle as I poured the cold
contents into a chilled mug. The

hops and the smooth, retreating
taste of vanilla. The bold taste
and soft sweetness parallels the
experience of Diet Coke. Diet
Coke tastes strong at first before
the aspartame leaves a semisweet flavor.
The ale has many ingredients.

In the words of my four

for mass consumption of such

BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
The scrumptious secret of the
bean of the cacao tree is arguably the greatest discovery in
world history. Those who may
scoff at this assertion will,
wild-eyed, change their opinion
when their mouths are stuffed
with the ambrosial marvel that
is chocolate.
As the story goes, the Aztecs
discovered the aphrodisiac
potential of chocolate. Hundreds of years later, the association between chocolate and love
lives on. The link is not only
found in history and lore but
in the chemistry of the human
brain. The high we experience
when happy or in love involves
the discharge of chemicals
phenylethylamine and serotonin by the brain into the nervous system. Chocolate contains these same mood enhancing agents.
It is, then, no surprise why
ardent suitors and the happily
married alike buy up armfuls of
See's and Godiva chocolates for
Valentine's Day. We delight in
experimenting on our loved ones
MfcirtLiisL'
and ourselves, entertaining ourselves with a grown-up version
of playing doctor.
If the mad chemist in you is
dying to get out this Valentine's
Day, why not introduce him
or her to your inner bartender.
Meet the Chocolate Martini - a
cocktail glass full of the most
indulgent love potion imaginable. Smooth and creamy, this
libidinous libation is best when
enjoyed with your sweetie.
To make a pair of delicous
Choco 'tinis you need:
1 1/2 shots chocolate liqueur
(I used Godiva.)
v 1 1/2 shots creme de
cacao
1/2 shot vodka (I recommend Absolut Vanilia.)
2 1/2 shots half-and-half
Chocolate syrup to garnish
Chocolate shavings to garnish
Swirl chocolate syrup in two
chilled cocktail glasses.
Mix all ingredients
except for syrup and
shavings in a shaker
with ice, shake, and
strain into glasses.
Garnish with chocolate shavings. Enjoy!

With summer coming to an end, it will
be hard to say goodbye. Although I should
be happy as I was able to watch the Anaheim Ducks hoist the cup at the Honda
Center as well as see the San Antonio
Spurs win another NBA championship.
This was a summer to remember for me
in the sports world, but there are things I
want to forget.
Let me start with Michael Vick who
deserves everything that is coming to
him. This is the same guy who last year
told his brother Marcus to clean up his act
and stop getting into trouble. But now, it
is big brother who will learn the consequences of disobeying the law, as he faces
2 years in jail and a possible lifetime ban
from the NFL that he truly deserves.
But what do you expect when you are
giving players like Vick, Tank Johnson
and Adam "Pacman" Jones millions of
dollars. All they know how to do w ith,
money is cause headaches for themselves,
their families, teams and the sport.
On August 7, 2007, Barry Bonds asterisked the record book by passing Hank
Aaron to become the all-time homerun
leader. Although I don't feel that an
asterisk is fully necessary for this record
as batters are not the only ones who are
juicing. We were reminded about Clay
Hensley failing a steroid test in the minor
leagues while Bonds was running the
bases to his record tying homerun at
Petco Park. The only good thing about

Bonds' record is that in 6 years, Alex
Rodriguez will be knocking Bonds off
that pedestal.
Lastly, NBA referee Tim Donaghy
found a way to hurt the game a little bit
more by admitting to gambling on NBA
games he officiated. It will now be up to
David Stern to fix the mess that Donaghy
has created for him as Donaghy faces 25
years in jail. As for Donaghy, he will have
been forgotten by start of the season as
their will be talk going on about another
NBA player breaking another law or Kobe
Bryant holding out on the Lakers because
they are not up to Kobe's caliber.
But don't get me wrong here, there
was more to the summer that is definitely
worth mentioning.
Like I said earlier, the Ducks won the
Cup, the Spurs won the championship
and talk about Bonds has finally died
down. But the best thing that happened
this summer for baseball was the induction to the MLB Hall of Fame for Tony
Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr., two players
who deserved to be in Cooperstown.
As for my summer, it was one I will
never forget. I spent time with my girlfriend and our families. Made a $100
investment on the Philadelphia Flyers to
win the Stanley Cup next year with 100:1
odds and I was also able to improve my
golf swing and my handicap. But the one
thing I am going to miss about summer is
the two months off of doing nothing.

Former Pride editor is now attending
law school.
It's hard for me to imagine that over a year and
half has past since I passed the reigns of the Pride
newspaper over to David Gatley. It seems like
only yesterday I was spending all of my spare
time in-between classes and after school situating the paper together with what I consider a
group of talented writers and designers.
Inevitably, the newspaper struggles every
year producing stories for the first issue. More
recently, the paper also struggles with recruiting staff writers. I cahnot ijtge student^
enough on how important the paper is to the
campus. It brings not only information to the stM
dent, but it is also the only voice o ftthe students
on campus r un by students. There are many options
for students to participate" kr the paper that range
f rom submitting one article-for the opinion section
to writing every week for multifile sections. For m e|
I have two main reasons why I think the newspaper
was important for my academic career at Cal State
San Marcos.
First, The Pride was a boost in my academic career.
The school newspaper was a burden of love. It took
all of my spare time but I was able to see a result of
our hard collaborated work every week. The portfolio of work I produced became a tangible product of
my time in school. I've displayed it for interviews
both in the academic and professional arenas.
Coupled with my Literature and Writing degree,
which, in my humblest opinion, is the best degree
Cal State San Marcos offers, the newspaper really
opened up doors for me.
My first motivation right after graduation was to
apply to law school.
I feel that the analytic reasoning skills that are
required for an English degree are an essential component for thefieldof law. An English degree requires
close reading. This attentive reading has developed
my ability to understand texts' implicit and explicit
meanings and my ability to generate lucid and convincing writing.
Former Pride staffer is attending graduate
school at CSUSM.
In order t o help with
my writing and analytic skills, I signed
up to be a staff writer for the student newspaper, The
Pride, atCafl State San Marcos. A fter one semester,
the advisor a§ked me to become the editor-in-chief
based oA my natural ability to lead and comprehend
the intricate nature of journalism.
Second, the Pride Newspaper helped build relationships at the school that became important in both
my personal life, academic, and professional life.
I made several good friends at the Pride. Not only
did we bond on campus, but we still stay in contact. I
still even let Michael Dolan call me on occasion just
to be nice.
My relations through the Pride helped me land my
first job as a writer for a military contract company.
Also, my reputation through the newspaper helped
me obtain some very eloquent letters of recommendation for law school.
The Pride is not for everyone though. I saw a lot of
people come and go. It takes hard work and dedication to a quality product. It even drove some of the
writers to try a different beer every week. On the
plus side, he wrote a great article for each one.
As for me, the best experience was management.
The ability to get the writers to turn their stories in
early and proof read was a true example of my leadership.

Former Pride columnist now works for the
Los Angeles Times.
This is an awkward time of the year for me because I've graduated and I'm no longer trying to come up with a column idea for
Jock Talk With Josh.
I'm not shedding too many tears because I am now living the
life I've always wanted and it's due in large part to The Pride/
I now work for the Los Angeles Times, specifically on the
Calendar/Entertainment section. That's what brought me to Los
Angeles, but another opportunity is keeping me in Lala land. I 'm
a writer and co-director on a new comedy TV show called "The
Homies Show."
The show is part stop animation based on the Homies figurines
which have been sold in vending machines for a decade. The
other part of the show is hip-hop music videos. Think Beavis &
Butthead meets The Simpson's. We're starting out in the top 13
markets like Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and Miami. If
it's successful it will spread to other cities like San Diego.
The Pride allowed me to be as creative as I could be. I took the
thing I knew the most about, sports, and brought that aspect to the
newspaper. It led to the San Diego Union-Tribune which led to the
Times, and a TV show. I never figured my knowledge of useless
baseball statistics would lead to where I am currently. If there's
something you're passionate about you'll never know where it can
lead until you're ready to take action.
Joining The Pride back in 2003 was the best decision I've ever
made. If you're thinking about joining the newspaper, just do it
If you have questions about anything feel free to contact me at
Joshua.Sandoval@latimes.com and I'm more than willing to help
out anyone from CSUSM.
It has been over a year and a half since my name has appeared
in print at The Pride. Until recently, it had been a while since
I'd even stepped foot on CSUSM. But my time at The Pride has
stayed with me longer than most of the memories and events of
my undergraduate career at Cal State San Marcos.
I spent several semesters working for The Pride; first as a
reporter, than as ombudsman, and finally as managing editor.
And perhaps my favorite of all: I started and maintained the
original "Beer of the Week" column at The Pride. Along with
all that, during my time at The Pride I had the honor of working alongside some of the greats in the recent history of The
Pride including Michael Dolan, Patrick Long, David Gatley,
and Jason Encabo.
Since graduating and leaving The Pride behind though, a
lot has occurred in my life. The beach, concerts, girls, beer,
my hammock, parties, more beer, and even a fist fight thrown
in for good measure... oh, and work too, have seemingly consumed my life in the void of college and books. Yet since I
left The Pride, I've also done one other thing: I've become a
writer.
In the last year I got a j ob writing press releases, as well
as other creative and technical pieces, for a consulting company and a hip-hop artist (imagine that) - all because of the
experience I gained at The Pride. I have also taken my creative writing skills to the next level, writing short stories
and aiming toward what I hope will one day prove a f ruitful
career as a freelance writer. In essence, becoming a writer is
what I always wanted, but never seriously pursued before my
time at The Pride. Indeed, I owe much to The Pride for helping me achieve my aspirations and helping me gain the experience, knowledge, and confidence to truly pursue a career
in writing.
The Pride gives those who have the skill and drive to achieve,
a means by which to do it, and never has a college campus had
a better or easier newspaper to join: all it takes is a little motivation and dedication. Whether you want to pursue journalism,
media, cartooning, editorship, layout artistry, or just writing in
general, The Pride is an opportunity not to be missed. And at
least for me, if nothing else, I still get to tell people about the
time I used to write a weekly column about beer.

The Pride can give you experience to build on later

is happening on campus, be able to assess information from multiple sources and learn how to function
effectively under deadline pressure. All these skills
will help you in the real world.
By the time you leave Cal State San Marcos, you

SarahSpinks
Class of 2004
Former Pride staffer works as a tattoo artist
at American Tattoo in Bonsall.
I remember deciding in the summer of 2003 that I
would like to participate on campus more. It seemed that
the university continued to over charge its constituents for
everything from new editions of standard texts to paying
an absurd amount of money to park in a dimly lit dirt lot.
Plus, I was just tired of all the conservatism on campus,
because the way I saw it that was a detriment to expanding your experiences.
My decision was to have my own comic strip in The
Pride, and as my previous experiences at Cal State San
Marcos had proved, it would not be hard. There would be
no competition, no line of students battling it out for the
space in print.
My suspicions were proved right at the beginning of that
fall semester when I not only volunteered for my weekly
comic strip contribution, "Emma," but I also became the
news editor of the The Pride.
The student newspaper, especially my comic strip,
became an avenue in which I could air my grievances,
point out the everyday life of the average student and
question the authority on campus.
Every week I had to write my storyline out and then
draw the scenes to correspond with it. Some strips were
better than others, but I did get better and I completely
reconnected with a passion of mine: drawing.
I graduated from college and toyed with the idea of
writing for a living, but found that I didn't have the fight
in me necessary to making this happen.

Class of 2004
Former Pride staffer now works at
Today's Local News as a graphic designer.
I had a lot ofjobs the year after I graduated. I canvassed with the Democratic
National Committee; I took school pictures; and I worked at Starbucks at four
in the morning.
Then I was approached with an
opportunity to work at a tattoo shop
again. I knew the pay would be horrible, and the people would be jerks, but
I would be able to draw again. And I
secretly hoped that by showing off my
skill and ability to draw I would be
offered a tattoo apprenticeship.
My wish came true, but then came
the work and I had to tell my family.
Let's just say they weren't pleased,
and my Grandma expressed her disappointment. That one hurt the most.
But all those old people have made
a lot of mistakes themselves, and I
would never want to make the mistake of doing something that didn't
make me happy. Someone once told
me, "Going to a j ob you don't like is
like being married to someone you
don't love."
Being an apprentice was one of the
more challenging experiences of my
life, for many reasons, but I had the
fight in me. Drawing makes every- j
thing in the world disappear. It is
better than any other form of escape
I use in my life, and I can never stop learning new things
as I draw.
The Pride gave me somewhere to put my energy and
we worked as a team most of the time. I made some of the
existence of cyberspace. It can be erased with the click of
a button, never to be remembered.
I always would pick up the new issue when it hit the
stands — despite all of the errors, asinine arguments and
predictable stories about parking and fee hikes.
The crude presentation was a part of the charm, but I
felt that rather than complain about how crappy the student newspaper was, I decided to join the staff and see if
I could help.
I found being on the newspaper staff as rewarding as it
was challenging. I participated in writing and designing,
and created a comic strip called "Beer Nuts."
The paper was never perfect, but we all had a sense of
satisfaction when somebody would call the office to tell
us how bad the paper sucked. We would respond politely
with, "Would you like to help? We need enthusiastic and
passionate students like yourself to participate." They
wouldieither hang up or shyly respond with "No thanks."
But.every once in a while, somebody would take you up
I still remember the first day of class for The Pride in
the fall 2003. It was f ull of students with no journalism
experience or newspaper background, but all expressed
genuine interest in being a part of the paper.
There were no returning students f rom the, previous
year's newspaper, and the adviser was new to the school.
We were building f rom square one, which made it seem
limitless. We slowly accepted roles and volunteered
responsibilities. We made it happen.
The idea of a student newspaper
is integral to having # student voice
on campus. In the age of the Internet,
people are arguing that newspapers are
a thing of the past andTwebsite arid blogs
are the wave of the f uturif 1 ^
But Web-based content, will never
compare to a tangible, physical newspaper. There is something about hdlding a
newspaper and seeing the efforts of the
writers, editors and designers pulling
together to create a printed product in a
form that you can fold up and take with
you anywhere.
I still have the issue that I was in as a
sophomore. A s I sat in Founders Plaza, a
student f rom the newspaper s taff asked
to take my picture and get a quote f rom
me about my thoughts on the Columbine shooting. I was so excited, and to
see my picture in print was pretty cool.
I felt as though I had made some kind of
permanence in the annals of Cal State
San Marcos.
You will never get that emotion from a

greatest friendships of my life and worked really hard for
very little pay. I could have taken that strength anywhere,
but I feel so fortunate that I was able to take it on to something I love so much: being an artist.
on the offer.
"How can I help?" they would ask.
"Do you have a camera? Do you like writing? Take pictures, write stories"
That's the beauty of a school paper; if you express
interest, you can make it happen. When I heard that The
Pride has been under scrutiny and faced with an uncertain
future, I felt ashamed that such an important tradition of
student life and identity would be threatened. It makes
sense though.
The student newspaper always has been an outlet for
dissenters and outspoken individuals to express concern
over how their school is being run. If there is no newspaper, who will be the voice of the students on campus?
Student government?
In my experience with student government, they are
acting under the higher hand of the administration and
generally express the voice of the average student who
just wants to go to school to for the sake of learning, rather
than joining a bunch of clubs and participating in the great student life at Cal
State San Marcos. Don't get me wrong,
there should be student elections, but
the newspaper will always serve as the
true voice of the students, grammatical
errors and all.
I am fortunate to have found a job in
the journalism field. I have been working for two years as a page designer for
Today's local news. I love being able
to be creative everyday and seeing a
product that I can hold. I still hear complaints about how bad the paper sucks,
but journalist are generally unphased
by this and trudge on knowing that the
public is more apt to complain than it is
to praise.
The newspaper industry is in a bad
place with many papers going under
due to a lack of advertising revenue.
It's hard to compete with low overhead

�each Bum Blonde Ale
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Summer has died, yet again. Each
year summer sets students free for several months of bliss, or at least life without course work for those who decline to
attend summer school. With each year of
summer birth transcends summer death,
a gloomy and unwanted realization of
the beginning of another semester. Beach
Bum Blonde Ale captures the taste and
attitude of a southern Californian summer
that many Cougars cherish.
Anheuser-Busch began in 1860 and
operates from St. Louis, Missouri.
Currently, the brewery classifies as
the third largest brewing company in the
world. The brewery corners the market
with their new marketing program titled
Seasonal Draught. Seasonal Draught
quarterly produces seasonal brews for
the masses. The first run of the breweries summer seasonal draught Beach Bum
Blonde Summer Ale nets the fish without
hurting the dolphins.
The cardboard container, carefully holding six 12 fluid ounce bottles, easily pops
with flash and excitement through any
frosty store refrigeration window. The
cardboard container portrays bright yellow
sunshine rays descending upon a vivid
baby blue colored ocean adorned with lime
green textured grass. Summer sun orange
decorates the rest of the packaging.
A sun kissed, long messy blonde haired
Caucasian surfer dude, decked out in an
open white and blue flowered Hawaiian
styled shirt with red board shorts, sunglasses and puka shells and all, cheerfully holds a yellow and orange surfboard in one hand, and yellow and orange
ale in a glass in the other. The scenery
depicts a never sun setting sunset. Dark
brown accents tint the glass and are
labeled with the scene f rom
the cardboard container.
The yellow bottle cap contains the contents of an ale
with an alcohol by volume
of 5.4 percent. The ale pours
smooth with a mild half inch
thick head. The luscious hue
of the ale captures a San
Diego coast sunset of rich,
powerful, amber glistening rays. Sweet and sugary
aroma arises from the summery ale. Pale and caramel
roasted barley malts which
are hopped with imported
spices comprise a smooth and
f ull bodied refreshing taste.
Just enough flavors create a crisp
Dubai
BY OMAR SAEB
Pride Contributor
Dubai, City of Endless Possibilities
When people mention the United Arab
Emirates, it is often overshadowed by
the well-known emirate of Dubai. The
immense popularity and growth of Dubai
as a travel destination has led this small
emirate to continue to build record breaking sky-scrappers and entertainment facilities which the world has never before seen.
Like much of the Middle East, twenty
years ago Dubai was a small emirate in
reaction amongst the taste buds. The
brewery recommends consuming the ale
with barbecue, fish, and or salads.
Summer has ended. While the average
Cougar can run up to 35 miles per hour,
enjoy a stroll at a relaxing 3
miles
per hour to the nearest
market.
Purchase

last
remains of summer while
it last for the ale will be
replaced soon with Jack's
Pumpkin Spice Ale.
City of

Possibilities
the middle of the desert. Today, Dubai
is competing to be the financial center of
the Middle East and is home to various
attractions in which tourists flock to year
around. In late 2008, Dubai is in the process of completing the tallest man made
building in the world reaching 168 floors,
called Burj Dubai. From the outdoorsy
type to the shopaholic, Dubai has it all.
When traveling to the Middle
East there is always a sense of caution due
to the instability of the region, but Dubai
is another story. With all the hype about
Dubai, I wanted to experience it first hand.
A fter spending about three weeks there, I
had done everything from indoor snowboarding to a desert safari. I realized that
there-are endless possibilities in Dubai.
It would be 120 degrees outside and you
can go snowboard or ski in the Mall of the
Emirates. What is amazing is that for half
the day you can snowboard, then go on a
dune-bashing safari excursion and explore
the vast ancient deserts of the Middle East.
The amount of classy hotels and shopping
districts is unimaginable. The Mall of the
Emirates is the biggest mall in the region
in which Ski Dubai is located.
Although Dubai is a place filled
with unique modern architecture and end-

less tourist excitement, be aware of the
scorching hot weather that engulfs the
region during the summer. Travelers need
not worry commercial air conditioners to
the rescue! If you are traveling to Dubai
make sure to check out various hot spots
such as Jumeriah Beach, Sho Cho Lounge
and Bar at the Le Meriden Hotel, Dubai
Safari's, Ski Dubai, Medinat Jumeriah (city
of Jumeriah) Mall as well as Burj Al-Arab
Hotel. Burj A1 Arab hotel is the only selfproclaimed seven star hotel in the world.
The building in itself is an architectural
masterpiece. Many Europeans every year
fldck to Dubai as their vacation hot spot, so
when you are planning out your next vacation, take look at Dubai and I guarantee
you will have the time of your life.

CSUSM Professor Mikiko
Imamura-Seyller, head of the
Japanese Program department,
passed away in her home Sept. 27
a fter a 7-year battle with Cancer.
She was 59.
Imamura-Seyller was a cherished member of the CSUSM
f aculty and a key component of
the Foreign Languages program.
She is survived by her husband,
and t wo children. Her son is a
University student i n the U nited
States and her daughter lives in
Japan. Imamura-Seyller taught
Japanese at CSUSM f rom the
inception of the program and
helped to develop consistently
the s uccessful program it is
today.
Loved by her students as well
as other faculty members she
always had a warm smile for
everyone. Dr. Anover, department chair of World Languages
said that, "Professor Imamura-
Seyller's passing is a great loss to
CSUSM."
As an adjunct professor, she
showed her dedication to the students and the language program
by exceeding the traditional
involvement of part time professors. Her accomplishments and
involvement in the program show
her dedication t o her students and
CSUSM.

Discussions between staff and President Haynes
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
Closing a week of discussions
with the three major bodies on
campus, President Haynes met
with the Cal State San Marcos
s taff on Friday, Oct. 5, as part
of a series of open f orums to
address concerns on campus.
Having met with students
and faculty earlier in the week,

t he discussion
On Oct. 2, Cal State University
San Marcos President Haynes
held an open forum for students
during University Hour in the
President's Boardroom.
ASI President, Caitlin Gelrud,
opened the forum, introducing
President Haynes t o the seven
students in attendance. Haynes
then welcomed everyone and
opened the floor for discussion.
From skateboarding fines to
new majors, students presented
Haynes with a wide variety of
questions during the hour-long
forum.
Sophomore, Sara Planchon,
questioned President Haynes
missed a class or an event and
always made herself available
for her students. She promoted
Japanese language and culture at
every opportunity she had.
Imamura-Seyller created and
hosted the Japanese culture
week at CSUSM, a weeklong
event with several opportunities to attend talks, art displays,
and movies about Japanese cul-
President Haynes sat down with
a room f ull of CSUSM staff to
hear their concerns about salaries, personnel shortages, and
distribution of labor.
While student and faculty
a ffairs command attention with
relative ease, the staff (the smallest body on campus) does not
always receive t he same degree
of consideration.
One of the primary concerns
brought up to President Haynes
centered on an overall budget
shortage across the various
s taff departments. As a result
o f• these shortages, staff personnel are now experiencing
an inability for salary growth
(in-range progression), even as
they face increasing responsibilities. To f urther compound
the issue, departments cannot
open up new positions to help
delegate responsibilities to meet
the demands of a rapidly growing campus.
In response t o salary concerns, President Haynes concurred with the s taff's concern
and explained that t he Budget
Committee is " being charged
t o look at and discuss the pros
and cons of a centralized pool

said does exist at other campuses, she quickly denied
the rumor's credibility for
CSUSM. "It's really interesting where rumors start," said
President Haynes.
University hour also became
a topic of interest at the forum.
"I'm personally frustrated with
how University Hour is turning out," said Senior Felipe
Zanartu. He believes the limited time makes it difficult to
plan anything. He also notices
various campus organizations
scheduling events at the same
time.
President
Haynes
defended the s hift from the
five-day a week University
Hour to the now bi-weekly
setup as a compromise for
each side.
"Last fall when we started
five days a week, there were
a fair amount of students
who were really unhappy
with the classes that couldn't
be scheduled. So I administratively made an executive
decision to t ry to protect
University Hour [by having
it] two days a week and also
provide student the access to
classes they needed."
During the forum, Haynes
even received a question
through student text messaging. The student expressed a
desire for a student union on
campus. A student union is
currently in preliminary planning and on a fundraising priority list. As a stretch goal,
Haynes would like to break
ground for a student union
for CSUSM's twentieth anniversary in 2010 but as of now,
nothing is official.
Student
Christina
Ahmadpour asked President
Haynes what reputation she
would like CSUSM to have
that could distinguish this
campus f rom others. President Haynes explained,
"we already hear students
talking about how this is a
smaller campus, a friendlier
campus, our faculty know
students and care about
them."
Because the campus is
only seventeen years old,
President Haynes added that
many of the academic programs need time to grow
before they can receive more
recognition.
The administration hopes to
continue forums at least once a
semester with the potential of
more depending on President
Haynes' availability. Any students eager to participate in the
next forum should keep an eye
out for future forums coming
soon.
for in-range progression
and other salary increases

a centralized pool for inrange progression would
provide f unds that all s taff
departments could access

Series Presents:
Still deciding which gadget
William Luvaas
Students and faculty enjoy a reading from to buy? This may help.
award winning contemporary author
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, Oct. 4, CSUSM's
Community and World Literary
Series hosted a literature reading
by author William Luvaas.
Luvaas read some of his Ht-J
erary work to a attentive audience of both students and faculty
members. Words like "contemporary," "in your face," and "cutting
edge" can describe Luvaas' style
and still, there is so much more to
the stories he creates.
For the event, Luvaas read a short
story from his book, "A Working
Man's Apocrypha". The story, "A
Season of Limb Fall", chronicles
the eccentric events in a different
Southern California than the one
with which we familiarize.
One such event involves a
senile elderly woman arid her
yippy dog being ripped into the
air by a twister. The dog later
turns up alive in a tree.
Where else other than a literary reading could anyone really
appreciate words like "alivening" and "kapockety"? How else
would a "Be Sure Doggie Composter" make sense? Clearly the
work of William Luvaas needs
more than admiration, it makes
you do a double take.
Tornadoes, life threatening
floods, and self-generating computers all exist in the fictitious
world of Luvaas, Not only does
this alternate reality intrigue
any reader willing to give it a
chance, it also has heart.
The chkractei-is of "A Working
Man's Apocrypha" are as loveable as they are eccentric and
as flawed as they are remarkably genuine. Something about
a literary reading brought out
these elements in a way walking through a bookstore could
never accomplish.
Literary readings may not
seem like the ideal social event
on a Thursday night for college
students. However, as someone
who shared that same opinion
in the past, I strongly recommend it.
Hearing an author read their
own writing aloud gives the
audience much more than words
on paper. The art of storytelling
is an element that readers can't
replicate.
The next Community and
World Literary Series event
will showcase readings from

CSUSM's LGBT community hosts an
event of tolerance and understanding
BY SHIRLEY BARAJAS
Pride Staff Writer
"Getting Out" that is what
the "Coming Out Monologues"
is about. Sponsored by the
LGBTA, LGBTQ and the ASI
Women's Center the "Coming
Out Monologues" will be held
October 11th at 7p.m. in the
Clarke Field House.
According to Bryce Manning, one of the directors
of the event, the title was
inspired from the famous play
"The Vagina Monologues".
Manning said the difference
between "The Vagina Monologues" and "The Coming Out
Monologues" is that this is not
a play, instead it is a collection
of speakers talking about their
experiences with "coming
out".
Another inspiration toward
organizing this event is the date
it will be held. October is known
as the LGBT history month and
October 11th is National Coming
Out Day. Not only will this be
an opportunity for the audience
to learn about the LGBT community but also to understand
how the community handles
talking about the subject for the
first time.
There will be several speakers at the event including Manning. Two other speakers will
be coming from Massachusetts
one of them will speak from a
transgender perspective and the
other from a straight ally perspective. Among other speakers there are some from the
CSUSM community.
Living in a heterosexual world
is not easy for non-heterosexual
individuals to talk about the
topic freely. Most speakers tell
their stories about acceptance
in a heterosexual society.
Although the performance
is about the LGBT community
everyone is welcome.
"I expect the audience to
walk away with a sense of
understanding and learn new
ideas about the subject" said
Manning.

Cleaning up
Organize your household chores •forFree!
Are you sick and tired of cleaning up after your roommates? Is
your place a mess because you
can't compile an efficient chore
list?
The people at ChoreBuster.net.
have devised an innovative web
solution that streamlines the process of making a chore list that,
in effect, makes everyone happy.
Chore Buster describes its services as a simple four-step process on the front page of the website.
Step One: "Enter in people
and chores." A fter registering,
the main user inputs the names
and e-mails of everyone partaking in the chores. Options
include the percentage of chores
that the given person is capable
of doing. The advanced options
include the capability to limit
chores on certain days based on
work schedules and other obligations. ChoreBuster also provides
the option for users to input
vacation dates, which excludes
the given user from the schedule
for the time in which he or she
is away.
Step Two: "Specify how hard/
undesirable each chore is, and
how often it should be done."
A fter inputting all personal
0 Enter In people and chores
Q Specify how hard / undesirable each chore is, and how often it should be done
0 ChoreBuster automatically generates a fair schedule of chores
QScheduleemailed to you daily or weekly-no need totogin
information, users next create a
list of all the chores necessary.
Users input the chore's name,
how often the chore should be
done, and the chore's rating.
ChoreBuster's rating system
allows users to rate the difficulty
and undesirability of a given
chore based on a point system
that includes "Nothing (0), Easy
(1), Fairly Easy (2), Normal (3),
Above Normal (4), Hard (5),
Extreme (7), and Insane(14)."
Step Three: "ChoreBuster
Automatically Generates a fair
schedule of chores." ChoreBuster
makes sense of this feature on
their website, "when you assign
a rating to a chore, it means that
chore is worth a certain number
of points. Whenever someone
is assigned a chore, they are
given the amount of points that
the chore is worth. ChoreBuster
ensures fairness by always giving
the 'next' chore to the person
with the lowest score."
Step Four: "Schedule is
emailed to you daily of weekly
- no need to log in." The schedule delivery really gives ChoreBuster its "wow" factor. Users
select whether they would like to
receive an e-mail with their generated chores weekly or daily,
and from there an e-mail is conveniently sent out to all of the
users on the account.
ChoreBuster.net is redefining
the art of scheduling, and making
life easier for college students
everywhere.

Saturday, Oct. 13
By Toria Savey /Pride Staff Writer
OKTOBERFEST
Cost: $3 or 2 for $5
Place: San Diego, specifically the
neighborhood of Ocean Beach
What: Yes, many radio stations have been
broadcasting live from Oktoberfests all over
the county for the past few weeks. What
is unclear is why they even bothered. The
official October beer capital of San Diego
is the neighborhood of Ocean Beach. It's cheap. There's music on
two stages. Sausages. Beer. Stereotypical bar maids and a whole lotta
lederhosen. It's as close to Munich as you're going to get in one day.
SAN DIEGO ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL
Cost: $7 and up
Place: Ultrastar Mission Valley (Hazard Center)
What: With anywhere from six to sixteen films showing per night,
the festival lasts from October 11th- 18th and can still barely cram
in all the movies, panels and discussions. With films ranging into
every subject matter, you should be able to get even your most closeminded friends to put aside their inhibitions about the indie nature
of 'film festivals'. If you don't
find something that appeals to
you, I'll eat my hat. Actually, eat
your own hat, because obviously
there's something wrong with
you already.
LITTLE ITALY PRECIOUS FESTA
Cost: Nothing!
Place: San Diego again, this time in Little Italy
What: While the cost is technically nothing, parking could set you
back $7. Or there's always the trolley which will take you almost to the
heart of the festa, Italian for 'festival'. With over 100,000 attendees,
the festival starts on October 13th with a chalk drawing exhibition, and
continues with the bulk of food, entertainment and vendors on October
14th. Oddly enough, their
website also mentions sausages
as being integral, though this
time of the Italian variety. Little
Italy is also known for its art
community which is celebrated
during several different annual
events, and will no doubt be on
display at the festa.
MCAS MIRAMAR AIR SHOW
Cost: Nothing! Again!
Place: Marine Corps Air Station Miramar
What: Quite simply, lots of planes. Maybe
you have a child who would be amused.
Maybe you're trying to go deaf by the age
of thirty. Maybe you never got over those childhood dreams of being
afighterpilot. Featuring everything from military demonstrations to
wingwalkers (yes, that's just what it sounds like), there's enough to
> keep the young, old, and even attention deficit entertained.
ANNUAL TIJUANA
TEQUILA TOUR
Cost: OkrPricey. $39.
Place: leaves from Old Town
Transit Center, San Diego
What: Perhaps you don't
drink tequila. That's a shame.
But it leaves plenty more for
the rest of us. While this tour
is definitely a little expensive,
you travel to Mexico by bus
and arrive as the Tequila Expo,
a holy land for aficionados,
where you can taste over 100
different tequilas. Actually,
it's unlimited tasting of 100
different tequilas. Did you
catch the UNLIMITED part?!?

Happy Hour at the
Belly Up Tavern:
For you AND your grandma
BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER
Pride Staff Writer
This week my assignment was
to check out the Belly Up Tavern's
happy hour. Every Friday the
Belly Up has a happy hour with
a live band, dancing and a cheap
five-dollar cover charge.
The Belly Up Tavern is a North
County treasure, located in the
heart of beautiful Solana Beach.
The happy hour session is from
5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Fridays.
There's a different band scheduled
for each session. A 21-year-old age
limit is enforced in the tavern.
I had been to the Belly Up before
and found the intimate venue to be
an entertaining local spot to see a
show in North County. However,
to my surprise, the Belly Up hapgy
hour caters to a more mature
crowd.
There weren't any drink specials
or food specials for the happy hour.
The only budget advantage was
the five dollar cover charge. Fortunately, the band was extremely
entertaining. As a "nostalgia"
band, they were experts in all
kinds of party dance classics from
the 40's to the 90's.
Five men and two women were
all wearing costumes and energizing the crowd. One of the women
was playing the sax while the other

and drums. Everyone able to
dance was dancing. It was enjoyable to see people take pleasure
in themselves, even though I felt
like a junior high kid at the senior
prom.
Next week on Oct. 12, there will
be a band called The Fabulous Pelicans who are also a party dance
music band. The following week,
Oct. 19, the Bayou Brothers will be
playing. The Bayou Brothers are
a Louisiana dance band that will
leave you craving gumbo shrimp

For those of you who enjoy

to head down to happy hour at the

�"The Heartbreak Kid"
A little recycled, but a lot of laugher
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
Scorsese has Leonardo, Tim
Burton has DeppT Peter' and
Bobby Farrelly have Ben Stiller.
All is right in the universe.
The latest offering by the Farrelly
brothers is "The Heartbreak Kid",
where farts, crazy sex, and inappropriate language by old men are
what keep audiences in their seats.
Stiller is Eddie Cantrow, a 40year old sport shop owner looking for love. It doesn't help that
his father, played by real life
dad Jerry, is encouraging him
to "live life" - which in his definition means sleeping with
as many women as possible.
Love in this case comes in the
form of a bombshell named
Lila (Malin Ackerman) who at
first glance, looks like a sweet-
heart until the jaws of marriage
brings out the ultra-neurotic
nature in her, as well as Eddie.
Eddie immediately regrets his
life altering decision in marrying Mrs. Wrong after a Mini
Cooper road trip to Cabo San
Lucas where Lila sings the lyrics
to all songs on the radio. Not just
popular songs, but every song.
It's after a serious (and I mean
serious) sunburn mishap that Lila
is locked up in the room for most
of the honeymoon, Eddie meets
another sweetheart in Miranda
(Michelle Monaghan). They find
solace in each other and by this
point, the movie begins to feel
almost recycled with love triangles and coincidental disasters.
Carlos Mencia also stars in
the movie as a stereotypical,
sleazy hotel worker. He does
more to hinder the film oppo-
site the bouncing dialogue
between Stiller and elder-Stiller.
Stiller still plays the role of the
hopeless good guy we want to
root for and it's something that
doesn't seem to get old. He brings
a great exuberance to the loser
role that suits his acting well.
The film is a remake from 1972
film by Neil Simon. Rest assured
that the Farrelly brothers have
not lost a step in purveying their
sense of humor to moviegoers,
but it feels more like the kind
of humor we got from "There's
Something About Mary". I t's
cool, but it isn't groundbreaking
humor like what we see these
days like in "Borat", "The 40Year Old Virgin" and "Superbad".
The directing duo does a great j ob
i n casting every role just right in
the film. People shouldn't have
to worry that all the good comedic moments are spoiled by trailers and commercials. There's
enough substance that satisfies,
such as a certain donkey scene.
Comedy is the Farrelly's muse,
and comedy is where their success will always be seen. Let's
hope that Peter and Bobby never
decide to commit career suicide
by directing a drama or action
movie.

George's Burger?
cy
c^
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
By George, I think they've got it!
Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the
name. George's Burgers is one of those
few places that has escaped the infinite pit of generic burger joints whose
food is as bland as the Joes, Bobs, and
Chucks, they're named after.
George's Burgers is a modest place
located on N. Las Posas Road, j ust o ff
the 78. While it may not be the most
epic burger in San Marcos, George's
Burgers will stand toe to toe with the
veterans if called upon. This place
couldn't be any more perfect for the
wayward CSUSM student, catering
to even the most discerning palette
with a frighteningly diverse menu. At
George's Burgers, you will undoubtedly
discover the most unholy of the fast food
trinities: burgers, Mexican, and Greek
Food. George's Burgers also boasts a
fairly thorough breakfast menu. When
Samuel Morse dispatched that immortal
utterance-"What hath god wrought?"in his first telegraph transmis
sion, it was because he had
just read the menu at
George's
Burgers.
While George's Burgers' methods are daring
and perhaps blasphemous, it is improbable
if not impossible for you
to not enjoy something
there.
Since it is a burger
place first and foremost,
I decided to try the
quarter pound special
burger. Expecting a humble quarterpounder, you can imagine my surprise
when this colossal behemoth invaded
my face. A fter the initial shock, I soon
discovered this burger to be a gentle
giant, a stable and calm blend of ingredients. It is a harmonious celebration
of unrivaled equality where no element
of the burger overwhelms another or the
rest. The hamburger meat has a faint
spice that contributes to the innovative
dynamic of the burger. In similar fashion to the burger, the f ries are beastly
slabs of potato. While they are fairly
generous in flavor, they don't harbor
excess grease that can often times overwhelm a French fry.
I definitely recommend you pencil
George's Burgers somewhere into your
list of places to go before you die, preferably somewhere between your 10:15
a.m. History class and your trip to The
Great Wall of China.

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

There is nothing more relaxing
after a hard day
of classes than to
wander off into
the fantastic realm
of video games.
Moreover, nothing
is more annoying than someone
who complains while playing video
games. Players who insist on shouting every time they feel the game
systems has wronged them belong
on the same level of frustration as
those who talk aloud at the cinema.
First, shouting will get a player
nowhere.
As
technologically
advanced as it is, the XBOX
360 system cannot hear you.
If the enemy kills you in
"Call of Duty," even though
you think you got a headshot,
complaining about it does
not make a difference. The
game goes on and the player
has another chance. Swearing and bellowing, "no way!"
does not take away what just
happened.
The effect of shouting is on
others nearby. Fellow players and
people nearby often do not sympathize when a game does not go as
expected. They may not be willing
to admit it, this racket is bothersome
and a waste of time. In the big picture, these other people do not care
if the player really did hit all the
notes on "Guitar Hero." Gamers
have linked unpopularity to people
who whine while playing.
Often the case in games like
"Halo" is that a grenade that was
not seen kills players or because
shots from the Battle Rifle were
not as accurate as thought. Yet this
is where most complaining occurs.
Most games are advanced enough
dispense damage fairly. However,
there are occasions where the game
glitches and something occurs
unjustly. Players must keep this

Possibly the most annoying brand

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

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

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

do understand and can grasp the
injustice of the way in which our

In her discussion with students, Wilson cited many important women in history including

Eleanor Roosevelt, Mary Wollstonecraft, Pocahonatas, Sacajawea, Mary Shelley, and J.K.
Rowling.
To end the discussion, Wilson
discussed the achievements and
advancements made throughout history to help women
attain their rights, adding that
letters and petitions are ways
of evoking change. Students
then collectively d rafted their
letter for Haynes stating, "We,

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

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

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

CSUSM homepage. And with
the pending end of this spring
semester, there is not much time
l eft to take this test, although
the library provides adequate
hours to help students find the
time that best suits their schedule.
Until May 9th, students are
able to able to take the exam on
Friday, 10 A M to 2 PM and Saturday, 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM in
Academic Hall 202. The CCR
may also be taken at the Cal
State San Marcos Southwest
Riverside campus if it so conveniences students in that area.
As well as study guides, Cal
State San Marcos also provides
a course (CS 100) that may be
taken throughout the semester
to help those that prefer to take
a class as opposed to the test,
and upon successful completion
of the course, the student satisfies their Computer Competency Requirement.
Not to mention that the four
p arts that make up the test may
be taken separately and at the
will of the student. Each p art
takes about 30 minutes to complete, which means that students
don't have to sit for long periods
of time to finish this test. With
all the services to help students
f ulfill this requirement, the only
t hing hindering the completion
of t his test is the s tudent's level
of procrastination.
�Sign-ups still open for powder puff football
BY AMANDA A NDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Boys in skimpy cheerleader outfits with makeup and pom-poms
and girls in football gear with face
paint and matching shirts are usually the images that come to mind
whenever the term "Powder P uff' is
mentioned. Sure, there are probably
plenty of Facebook and Myspace pictures out there of just that too—but
now all CSUSM students can participate in and witness such a spectacle
firsthand.
The time is now CSUSM, when
all the females on campus have the
opportunity to kick some Powder
Puff butt. Sponsored by ASI Campus
Recreation, this month the annual
Powder Puff Football event and tournament begins Friday, April 11, and
continues the next Friday, April 18
from noon to 4 p.m. The event and
the games will take place on two
designated fields at the lower field
located on the corner of Twin Oaks
Valley Rd. and Craven Rd.
Signups are open at the Clarke Field
House in FH 119 through Friday the
11th at 12 p.m. However, space is limited as only the first 12 teams to register can participate, so for those interested, don't wait too long, or the only
available spots will be the ones at the
sidelines watching.
To register a team, at least three
people from a team need to be present, and one of those three present
needs to be the team leader. There
can be eight people on a team plus a
coach. Teams are encouraged to have
coaches, so feel free to invite a boyfriend, brother, friend, husband, or
classmate to coach a team.
Once a team is registered, the rest
of the individuals on the team can
stop by the Clarke anytime to add
herself to the roster. Registration for
the tournament costs $5/person, but if
CSUSM Softball s taying
s trong down t he s tretch
a registrant has participated in any
intramural activity previously this
year and already paid the $10 fee
for the year, then registration is free.
There will also be a "Free Agent"
team with an open roster for anyone
who does not have ateam but wishes
to play. Teams are also encouraged
to matching uniforms—though not
required—however, there may be a
reward for the "Best Uniform."
Saul Garcia of Campus Recreation said, "The winning team will
all receive
Intramural Champion shirts and
have a plaque with their team name
and picture on it in our trophy case
which is located in the hallway of
thefieldhouse."
All teams will play in the tournament both days. On the 11th' teams
will play two games and then on
the 18th teams will be ranked and
participate in the single elimination
tournament.

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

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

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

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

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

wonderful product of a

Civil rights activist remembered at candlelight vigil
CSUSM artists reflect on statue's significance
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
Last Tuesday, CSUSM invited
artists T. J. Dixon and James Nelson
to speak to the university community about the historical perspectives about the campus statue
honoring civil rights activist César
Sleepless
in San
Diego
Chavez. Dixon and Nelson were
the two artists responsible for creating the statue and spoke about the
importance and legacy to which the
school connects itself.
"My mother was a farm worker
in Texas during the 60s, and [the
United Farm Workers] was all that
she would talk about," shared Dixon
as she spoke about personal meaning of the work. "It was really the
most tragic existence for farm workers who didn't have a voice and was
never in one. place long enough to
ask for change and equality."
The week ended by honoring the
leader with a candlelight vigil at the
steps of Chavez Plaza. Traditional,

community unites
to raise awareness
On Tues. April 8, men and women gathered in Forum Plaza to participate in a night
of empowerment and education against the
sexual violence of women. Take Back t he
Night is an observed protest around the nation
that involves walking in the dark to display
that women should and have t he right to feel
safe while walking in the dark.
Every two minutes, somewhere in A merica, someone i s sexually assaulted.
This is the second year the Women's
Center has held a Take Back the Night event
on campus. On display was the 'Walk In Her
Shoes' exhibit, f eaturing a variety of women's
shoes with f acts and personal stories about
sexual violence u nderneath them.
The National College Women Sexual Victimization Study estimated between 1 in 4
and 1 in 5 college women experience completed or attempted rape during their college years.
B efore the event began, many students
walked through the exhibit and scaled t he
booths in attendance. Students and s taff candidly shared their experiences and observations regarding sexual violence.
Morgan Hoodenpyle, Women's Center Operations Coordinator, opened the event, welcoming students and s taff in attended and served as

The unfair stigma of "Brokeback Mountain"
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
At the 2006
O scars, t he movie
" Crash" walked
away w ith the t op
p rize. T hough it
was a decent f ilm
about racism in
A merican,
the
other n ominated f ilms dealt
w ith r iveting topics in a more
i ntense and potent way. "Good
Night and Good L uck" was the
t rue story about government
c ensorship and " Munich" was
a f ilm about the r epercussions
of the a ssassination of Israeli
a thletes at the 1972 Olympic
Game by P alestinian t errorists, and both have implications that are still are relevant. In a ddition, " Capote"
is the story about f amous
writer, Truman Capote, and
the s truggles he f aced as an
author and a homosexual.
However, the most dramatically moving f ilm of that year
was "Brokeback M ountain."
Not only did the Academy
rob it of Best P icture, today it
still f aces the stigma as " that
gay cowboy movie."
In my experience, I have
found that most fcf t hese comments come f rom people who
have not even seen the f ilm. It
is u nfair to c riticize such an
important f ilm without personal experience. U nfortunately,
people are unable
to look beyond the
element of homosexuality and miss
the art and inspiring moments of t his
f ilm.
Director Ang Lee
made "Brokeback Mountain" about more than l eftwing p ropaganda. It has the
elements that put it in the
r unning for being one of
the best f ilms of the current decade. The late Heath
Ledger gave the best performance of his career and
deserved the nomination for
Best Actor. His tragic death
makes t his p erformance
that much more important. In all other areas, t his
movie excelled, such as
the cinematography, other
a ctors, and the breathtaking score.
It is a monumental f ilm
meant to dispel ignorance,
and yet still i ncreases it
in some people. However,
t here have been previous
f ilms about homosexuality, t his one is i mportant
because not only is it done
well — it boldly challenges
the image of the A merican
cowboy.

For up-to-date information, visit
CSUSM's Budget Central online
IMPACT T O CSUSM
•
A 10 percent budget reduction would be a $2.5 million cut to CSUSM's current budget, with an additional $3.1 million cut
based on no growth, creating a total reduction of $5.6 million.
•
The cuts would mean larger class sizes, reduced student support, and fewer course sections resulting in students taking
longer t o graduate. It would mean greater workload for CSU faculty and staff and no funding for compensation agreements
resulting in a decline in employee morale and performance.
•
CSUSM grew over 25 percent in the last three years. Based on 0 percent growth, approximately 750 qualified students would
not be able t o enroll if CSUSM is not able to accommodate additional new student enrollment in 2008-09. First-time
freshmen and transfer students who apply late to fall 2008 will not be considered unless enrollment space becomes available.
•
These cuts will erase significant gains the university has made t o increase access for minority and underserved communities.
CSUSM's student population now reflects 22.4 percent Hispanic and 27.6 percent other minorities.
IMPACT T O CSU
•
This budget cut is in addition to $522 million in funding cuts to the CSU between 2002 and 2005.
•
The CSU will be unable to provide access to 10,000 qualified students, mostly California residents, which will have a direct
impact on the state's economy and on the key industries that our graduates enter, such as nursing, teaching, agriculture,
business, public administration and technology. Future demand for college graduates outweighs the supply by 6 percent representing a million graduates
•
The CSU graduates 90,000 students each year, including 87 percent of education graduates, 64 percent o f nurses, 65 percent
of business professionals, 82 percent of those involved in public administration, and more than half of the state's graduates in
agriculture-related fields.
•
The proposed budget cuts to CSU would remove more than $1 billion from the state's economy.
•
The negative impact o n student access would fall disproportionately on students from underrepresented communities. For
2008, freshman applications t o CSU for Latinos are up by 21 percent and African Americans by 11 percent over previous years.
IMPACT T O THE REGION
•
Cuts to the CSU will be felt by the regional economy as CSUSM generates a total impact of $307 million, sustains
5000 jobs, and generates more than $16 million per year in tax revenue.
•
With 42.3 percent of all new students coming from North San Diego, and 18.6 percent from South San Diego the
impact t o college-bound students and their parents in the region will be devastating.
•
The majority of our graduates enter into business, education, or other professional services fields. North County as
a growing region is dependent on our graduates as teachers, nurses, business leaders, and service professionals.
•
CSUSM's alumni continue t o live in California, with more than half working in San Diego County. T wo out of five of
our alumni work in education; more than two-thirds work in their chosen fields.

According to the November 2000 National Violence
Against Women Survey, 17.6%
of women in the United States
have survived a completed
or attempted rape. Of these,
21.6% were younger than age
12 when they were first raped,
and 32.4% were between the
ages of 12 and 17.
One organization in attendance
was Rape Aggression Defense
or RAD. The program facilitates

the prevention of rape or sexual

among several guests, watching
while activists and community
members spoke about the lives of
farm workers during the 1960s and
1970s.
Later in the evening, students and
other community members laid carnations and litpandles. They shared
some experiences as immigrant
workers while they sat at the steps
of Chávez Plaza.
"With César Chávez, a man like
that truly deserves this honor," said
,Nelson. "When we received this
commission, we were very fortunate to have done this."
Before his death in 1993, Chávez
spent more than two decades fighting on the behalf of immigrant
farm workers across California and
Texas: He was responsible for the
creation of the United Farm Workers Union which organized strikes
and boycotts to create higher wages
for farm workers and immigrant
rights.

Chávez Day, which also happens
to be his birthday. The week prior
to honoring the day, the university

Usually hosted at local schools,
fairgrounds, or parks, teams walking in the Relay are the core makeup
of the event. Team members take
turns in a sponsored walk-a-thon,
in addition to other activities, which
include entertainment, booths, and
inspirational speakers aiming to
raise money and awareness about
cancer and the ACS.
Last year, Relay for Life raised
$33.3 million in California alone,
with over 12,388 participating
teams with 34,572 cancer survivors participating in the sponsored
events. More than 3.5 million
people participate in Relay for Life
nationwide each year, and this past
weekend, hundreds participated at
San Marcos High School.
Cal State San Marcos student
and staff writer Lance Cartelli
said, "The event was amazing.
Seeing everyone affected by cancer
coming together whether it be
people that have family members
orfriendsthat diedfromcancer or
the survivors of cancer, everyone
coming together for a single cause
and telling why they are 'relaying'
was amazing and one of the most
beneficial experiences I have ever
seen."
Many student organizations
participated in this year's event
including several CSUSM fraternities and sororities.

Diego" through the acquisition of sponsors, usually
friends, family, co-workers
and neighbors.
According to Alpha Kappa
Psi, ^'Donations to the San
Diego Rescue Mission go
to support two core recovery programs encompassing
in-depth services for lasting change, as well as an
emergency shelter, providing men, women and families the opportunity for both
immediate relief and longterm transformation."
As of April 10, Alpha
Kappa Psi has raised $3200,
far exceeding its initial f undraising goal. While there
is a minimum donation of
$50 required to get into the
event for most participants,
students participating with
Alpha Kappa Psi are asked
to donate j ust $10.
Alpha Kappa Psi is still
looking to get as many
people involved in the event
as possible and hopes to
garner media attention at the
event. Students interested in
participating should contact

Ranging from the ballads of
international singer/songwriter
Tiamo De Vettori, to spoken
word performances by Kimberly Dark and Miz Liberty,
to colorful and energetic dance
numbers by drag queens Tatiana, Marilyn McWilliams, and
Moment St. John, the evening
was lively, light-hearted and
jubilant.
Highlighting the vision for
the LGBTQ Pride Center as a
place that "creates, sustains, and
strengthens an open, inclusive,
safe, and affirming environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, intersex, queer,
questioning, and ally communities," all present for the celebration affirmed and empowered
CSUSM's next step in bettering
the campus community.
"The Pride center is a great
addition to ASI's programs
and services sponsored by
education, advocacy, support,
resource information, and a
safe place for all students," said
ASI CEO and President Caitlin Gelrud. "It was through the
voice and advocacy of CSUSM
students that this center was
established. In the spring of
2007, the ASI Board of Directors approved the strategic
planning and establishment of
the LGTBQ Center."
Manning introduced the
keynote speaker, Windmeyer,
as "the leading author on gay
campus issues, a national leader
in gay and lesbian civil rights,
and a champion for LGBT
issues on college campuses.
He is the executive director of
'Stop the Hate' and the executive director for 'Campus Pride,'
the only national organization
for student leaders and campus
organizations
working
to
create a safer campus environment for LGBT students" and
spoke about his several books
addressing LGBT students and
involvement in sororities and
fraternities.
"One of the things I think the
LGBTQ Center is really about
is the community," said Windmeyer, "and I'm not telling you
anything new when it comes
to how important community
is on a college campus...This
shouldn't just be about LGBTQ
people, this should be about
the entire campus community.
And the LGBTQ Pride Center
should be a place where we can
educate across intersections of
identity."
Toward the end of the evening
Dr. Bridget Blanshan, Dean of ,
Students at CSUSM, recognized
alumni and graduating students
who have and had worked hard
in the LGBTA community on
campus by honoring them, their
courage, and commitment to
the campus community with
a special certificate and commencement cord.

Can't find affordable
health insurance?
There are options available for
students on and off of campus
BY A RIANNE SCHULZ
Pride Staff Writer
A notable concern among college students
is quality health care insurance. While it can
be difficult to find a policy that adequately
covers student needs, if one "browses
around" there are many private insurance
policy options available to suit an individual's particular requirements. In addition,
many insurance packages that are available
are specifically designed for student situations.
As a short brief: CSUSM's requires all
students to have health insurance (including international students). Consequently,
the university does have a health insurance
policy available.
The health insurance policy offered by
CSUSM is advocated for those who do not
have private medical or liability insurance.
The policy also o ffers hospitalization benefits and other specific medical services.
Students also have the option of purchasing the insurance policy on a semester or
yearly basis. To enroll in the student health
insurance plan, visit the Associated Students
Office in Commons 205 and/or Student
Health Services.
There is also extended student health
insurance offered by CSU Health Link
that covers medical needs that exceed the
resources of Student Health and Counseling
Services such as specialist and emergency
rooms referrals.
Students can run into some tricky problems when their parents' insurance policy
no longer covers them or when students have
jobs that do not offer insurance benefits, so
it is best to research and find a specific or
comprehensive policy that can serve particular concerns.
To find the best policy, just research and
find a plan that works—some plans have
year-round coverage, some are based on
full-time/part-time student status, and some
are more flexible with doctor and hospital
choices.
To get a general idea about college health
insurance plans and some get common
questions answered, visit insurance carrier's websites, or check the following:

The opening of the new University Store

for the University's Foundation, but it also
begins a new chapter for all CSUSM members to revive their school spirit and nurture the growing campus community. In
addition to the now textbook-only store
located downstairs from the new
store on the f ifth floor of Craven

and eager to serve students in
many new ways.

to do is go to the University Store, request come here to the store," said Brown. "This
is such a perfect location. We're really
looking forward to getting more involved
on the campus."
No matter what time of year, students
will always be able to find the classic gray,
white, and navy CSUSM and Cougar logo
wear, but students can also expect to see
seasonal fashion-forward merchandise
that reflects current fashion trends and
allows students to show off their CSUSM
pride in the store. "We carry what we call
'Ra-Ra or school-spirited things, which is
our thing with the new cougar logo, but we
mix in a little bit of fashion with it," said
Brown.
The new store is easily accessible, f ully stocked, and
planned with college students in mind. Complete
with an Apple computer
and product section, soon
students will be able to
test the Apple products for
themselves before purchasing
them, and all students are
eligible for the college

With the end of the

is
doing for

buybacks.
" That's all based on teachers'
requisitions," said Brown, "so if the
teachers get their orders in, that's
how we gage our buyback. We
know that textbooks are expensive,
and there is a textbook affordability
issue on all campuses."
Whether the University Store is

there is still a big issue the Univer-
Student employee Jenny Quijada models

sity Store is working on to help students
on campus: the cost of textbooks. That is
why the University Store is o ffering a new
scholarship program in coordination with
ASI to cover the cost of textbooks. " It's
something we started this past spring,"
said Brown. "We're calling it the 'Textbook Rewards Program' and we're working in conjunction with ASI."
Each semester 10 students can receive
the scholarship, which covers the cost of
textbooks up t o $450 per student. "It w asn't

One week from today, the United States
will celebrate its 38th annual Earth Day.
As the result of nearly four decades of
environmental awareness, the surface of
April 22nd is synonymous with tree-hugging, hemp clothes, and liberal protests.
A far cry from p o l i t y in the 60s and 70s,
the modern Earth Day presents revolutionary thinking and opportunities for every
American to change the world for the
better.
April 22,1970 was the first official Earth
Day in America. Following his election
into the U.S. Senate in 1962, former Wisconsin State Senator and Governor Gaylord
Nelson took up environmental preservation
activism under the presidency of John. F.
Kennedy. "For several years," Nelson said,
"it had been troubling me that the state of
our environment was simply a non-issue in
the politics of the country." Thus, Nelson
and Kennedy set out on an environmental conservation tour through the states in
the fall of 1963 to raise awareness on the
issues. Unfortunately, the tour was largely
a failure. Nelson felt that even though the
tour barely received any political attention,
"it was the germ of the idea that ultimately
flowered into Earth Day." As Nelson continued his presence in the U.S. legislature,
he traveled to as many states as he could.
Troubling evidence of environmental degradation was apparent all over the country, yet concern over the facts was wholly
absent from the political agenda. Through
Nelson's talks and activism, he created a
somewhat backwards course of action: he

home should no longer be a burden. There
is an easy to use website which allows the
user to upload a playlist of 12 songs (each
song not being larger than lOmb) and keeps
everyone's favorite playlist a click away.
On muxtape.com it takes no
more than 15 seconds to create
a free account. This website not
only allows the user to listen to
music from any computer with
internet access, it also creates a
community of playlists which
allow all its members to listen to
each o tters top songs.
Muxtape works by browsing
the user's saved media files and
uploading it to the site in which the
person agrees to share their playlist
with everyone. Listening to music
is simple as well, after creating a
playlist or browsing through other
members' playlist the user clicks
on the title of the song and the song
begins to stream, want to pause the
song just click on the title again and
it pauses.
Another great feature which
Muxtape provides is allowing
the user to add its favorite playlist from other members by pressing add playlist or remove playlist
:
if the user decides it no longer
pleases them.
As an avid music listener Muxtape allows me to take my favorite
songs with me to wherever I go,
took the issues to the people before
appealing to the government.
Finally, in 1970, Nelson took part
in an environmental "teach-in", which
acted as a response to the rising perception
of ecological conditions across the nation.
Earth Day itself was a spontaneous reaction to the millions of Americans Nelson
reached out to looking to raise environmental interests to the forefront of politics. "That was the remarkable thing about
Earth Day," Nelson remembers, "it organized itself."
With "going green" as the newest trend,
there are certainly plenty of opportunities to get involved this Earth Day. The
government has stepped up environmental awareness, presenting a whole host of
ways to promote cleaner air with a public
education group called "It All Adds Up."
The group's focus is on ways that communities can reduce air pollutants through
more conscientious commuting. "It All
Adds Up" offers tips for dropping individual pollutant production from autos.
By simply keeping a car's tires properly
inflated, fuel use can decrease by up to 18
gallons a year. Getting regular tune-ups is
also essential; a well-maintained car will
produce 20% less ozone emissions than
one that is not.
Moreover, "reduce, reuse, recycle" may
as well be Earth Day's slogan. Reduce use
of disposable products by buying permanent items, and refrain from buying products that have large amounts of packaging.
Reuse plastic grocery bags as trash bags, use
hand towels in the kitchen rather than rolls
ofpaper towels, and donate unwanted items
to charities rather than throwing them out.

Hypem.com or The Hype
Machine is another Internet
revolution for the music industry. In the world of blogs, several pertain to music reviews
and opinions. The Hype
Machine is a resource where the registered
music blogs come together in a convenient
way for Internet users. The site tracks the
activity on a wide variety of blogs and
relays the posts onto it for easier browsing
of music opinions,
The mission, according to the site, is to
inform people of music they are unaware
of and expose them to new possibilities.
Internet users can browse music
according to the reviews of others
that have similar taste. Previews
of songs are available, as well as
a link to the Amazon and iTunes
music stores. The founders of the
site intended this to steer people
to new artists and help them make
money through sales.
The Hype Machine is userfriendly for all users, but according to the site, the most popular
demographic is "a more male,
fairly wealthy, youthful, more educated crowd." Another bonus is the
amount of reviews made possible
by the live indexing of songs and
artists. The Hype Machine makes
searching for and discovering new
tunes much easier, as compared
with searching on individual blogs.
In addition, unlike published music
reviews, these are the honest and
raw opinions of "musicphiles."
Though the site favors the alternative and indie types of music, it
contains information to interest
fans of ai types of music. People
who are open to new music should
try The Hype Machine because it
is a resource of music blogs unlike
any other site.

Summer school is a great option for
students whether their need is acceleration or remediation. While summer
school is a good opportunity to catch
up on college credits there are various
concerns to be aware of in choosing to
enroll in summer courses. It is important to remember that summer programs are shorter and more condense
in time than regular semester classes.
Summer programs include a whole
semester's worth of work, so be aware
to not take too many classes and do
not expect it to be easier than regular
semester classes.
At CSUSM there are several deadlines, so be sure to keep track of them
to successfully register and begin
classes. To find out what tuition and
fees may be (depending on how many
credits are taken) check the summer
school information webpage on
M yCSUSM:http://sweb.csusm.edu/
Schedule/200830/fees.asp.
The priority enrollment period is
from April 7 to April 21, 2008. Any
holds on record need to be cleared
before proceeding. From April 22
to June 1 (Summer 2008 schedule
adjustment period), a student may add
or drop classes in the newly instated
My CSUSM system. The payment
deadline for classes registered up to
May 14 is May 15, 2008. For classes
that are registered on or a fter May 15,
fees are due by the next business day
at noon.
The first day of classes starts June 2
and the add/drop period is from June
2 to June 9, 2008. June 9 is the last
day to drop a class (that meets for the
summer first session) with no aca-
demic record. June 9 is also the last
day to add a summer 2008 class that
meets for the first part of the term
including f ull session, first session
and second session. On June 10 for
late registration be prepared to pay
late registration and adding fees. July
6 is the last day of classes for those
that meet for the first term.
The second session of summer starts
beginning on July 7. July 10 is the last
day to drop classes without academic
record. August 9 is the last day of
classes for the second term.
For more details and to register
for summer school, check CSUSM's
summer school class offerings through
MyCSUSM. In addition, CSUSM
Extended Studies also provides many
summer programs so check their class
offerings.
If CSUSM does not offer a particular class for a student, a good alternative choice is to check out local
community colleges such as Palomar
or Mira Costa, which o ffer plenty of
classes to suit one's academic needs.
Apply for admission (if one is a new
student) as soon as possible in order to
register for classes sooner before they
fill up to limits. Another benefit for
taking classes at community colleges
is that the costs can sometimes be less
expensive than at universities.
Overall, surtimer school can be a
helpful choice for students, but to
make it a beneficial experience there
is a duty as a responsible student. As a
student, make sure to factor in devoting enough time to classes and other
comprehensive details including class
offerings, work status, and financial situation and plan one's schedule
accordingly.

We have all heard of the term "minidorms," but what exactly are they?
According to the city of San Diego
a mini-dorm is any house or apartment having three or more living areas
including rooms and lofts. These minidorms have been popping up all around
San Diego for decades. The amount of
living area is j ust too small for the masr
sive amount of college students that
reside throughout the entire city.
With colleges such as SDSU, CSUSM,
UCSD, Mira Costa, Palomar, and the
San Diego City College campuses that
are all stationed in San Diego there are
thousands and thousands of students
that need places to live.
As a sophomore at CSUSM Jack Overman says, "Living in a mini-dorm is a
lot more convenient. It makes rent a lot
cheaper when you live with a bunch of
people rather than living with another
person somewhere else. And with such
a high cost of living here in San Diego,
the more money s^ved the better."
The problem with these kinds of living
situations is the fact that the houses that
students are moving into were originally created for j ust one family. Students are known to pack 10-15 kids into
a house that was made for a family of
4 or 5. Neighbors complain because of
the excess noise and trash, not to men-
tion the amount of cars due to limited
parking.
Both sides of the spectrum have their
reasonable points, but so far nothing
has been done to change it. With the
ever-increasing amount of college students pouring into every county of San
Diego the amount of mini-dorms is only
going to increase each year.
As a student down at SDSU, Allison Ives believes that "mini-dorms j ust
make everything a lot easier for everyone. Living in a house with 7 girls makes
rent a lot lower and I love having so
many people over all the time, although
I can tell it does annoy the neighbors
a lot." With students needing places to
live and families needing more peace
and quiet throughout their neighborhoods is there any way to create a compromise?
The city of San Diego is currently
holding meetings and thinking about
placing ordinances around the city in
order to limit the amount of mini-dorms
that are allowed to stay standing. Laws
are also being thought of to banish
mini-dorms altogether.
If this is truly the case then a lot of
homeless college students will be looking for places to live within the next
few years. The city needs to figure out
a good compromise in order to allow
students to get a great education while
still living in the beautiful city of San
Diego.

Get snuggly and musically satisfied with Gypsies
The Gypsy Lounge is the new place to be for musical nomads
BY ADAM LOWE
Pride Staff Writer
Music is one of the most important
influences in my life, as well as many
others', I'm sure. The feeling I get when
I see that musician take the stage and
debut his musical talent for the night - it
is unmatched by almost any other feeling.
This is why there is no better way to bask
in awe of a well deserving musician than
in the comfort of a place so personal that
you can almost call it home.
This is the reason that The Gypsy
Lounge
(www.thegypsylounge.com)
in Lake Forest, CA is beyond any bit of
doubt, my favorite place in the world (at
least thus far) to enjoy live music. As soon
as you walk in the door, you are met with
an extremely "living room" type of atmosphere. There are a handful of retro looking couches lining the walls with enough
pillows to prop yourself up or just snuggle
with, depending on your preference and
mood.
Aside from the fact that The .Gypsy
Lounge has the most comfortable seating
and makes the best and strongest drinks,
it is host to some of the greatest music in
Orange County - a lot of some big names
in music had their innocent beginnings at
this very club. Many of these bands who
began their careers playing little shows
to small crowds in this club have gone on
to become some of today's more popular
radio played musicians.
Rocco Deluca and the Burden, one
of today's best concert selling artists, is
one of the former hosts of a weekly night
of local artists coming together to play
acoustic sets at The Gypsy Lounge. This
title now shared by Chris Paul Overall, AJ

of Hollowell, Cory Joseph of Sleepless Me
and many other incredibly talented musicians. Along with Rocco Deluca is Brett
Panic at the Disco
sends SOMA fans
into a hot panic
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
What do you get when you cross hundreds of fourteenyear-old girls and their misfortunate parents, Honda Civics,
and shrieking during sound checks, but no exclamation point
necessary? Why, a Panic at the Disco concert, of course.
On Saturday, April 12, this year's Honda Civic tour, headlined by the band formerly known as Panic! at the Disco,
arrived to a sold out Soma in San Diego.
Dennen, yet another example of a local
artist who began playing shows at The
Gypsy Lounge and ended up with quite a
popular following and a wonderful amount
of radio credit.
Music changes lives - it has the ability
to take every single
emotion, especially
those that don't
make sense to you
- and it helps them
to become clear. If
some of these major
musicians had their
modest
beginnings in this club,
who knows what
could happen if you
showed up. Every
Tuesday is "not so
acoustic Tuesday"
and showcases some
of the most amazing
talent in Orange County and surrounding
areas. Take the drive - pay the few bucks
to get in - spend a few hours escaping
from your world and enter the soothing
world of music. Allow it to move you and
your life will be changed.

Living in San
Diego, a sushi restaurant isn't too
hard to come by.
A restaurant like
Sushi Huku, however, is an invaluable find for any sushi consumer.
Located conveniently close to
campus at 727 W. San Marcos Blvd,
Sushi Huku is a sushi restaurant
that offers phenomenal food fit for
a college student's budget.
Upon entering the restaurant
a customer is warmly welcomed
by the f riendly s taff. The t ype of
dining experience you are looking for should dictate where you
choose to sit. A prominent t hing to
note is the vastly d ifferent atmosphere between sitting at a table
or up at the bar. The tables o ffer
traditional Japanese style seat-
ing and create the p erfect
romantic atmosphere for
a datè. Sit at the bar for a
more exciting, entertaining atmosphere that is perfect for a night out with a
group of f riends. The f un
loving chefs love t o converse and never hesitate to celebrate with their customers. Don't
be surprised if you get
to know the s taff on
a first name basis, as
they somehow seem to
remember the names
of all their customers.
The restaurant offers
a full sushi menu as
well as a variety of
other traditional Japanese style dishes. The
prices blow many other
sushi restaurants out of
the water. Traditional
Maki rolls are offered
at $4.00; where as specialty rolls
rarely exceed $8.00.
So, when looking for a great sushi
restaurant to take that someone special or to have a night out with some
friends, look no further than Sushi
Huku. Great food, great prices, and
a great atmosphere — What more
is there to ask for in a sushi restaurant?
purchased
the
brewery
from
Korbel
Champagne Cellars.
The
large
brown glass bottles holds 25.4
fluid
ounces.
Grey and black
hues
comprise
the majority of
the label. A pitchfork looking object
takes center stage. Red lettering is
used in the name of the ale. Unlike
most beers, which are capped with
bottle caps, the brewery utilizes a
system found on most champagne
bottles. A mesh wire secures a cork
and thin aluminum cap with the
brewery's name in white and red
stencil, which all work together to
keep the bottle pressurized. The ale
has a 7,75% alcohol by volume. The
ale retails for $7.39 at BevMo.
The ale pours light and crisp yet surprisingly generates a full inch thick
head. The head gradually reduces to
a quarter inch thick. A slight head
then remains
for the duration of consumption. The
ale radiates a heavenly golden hue while carbonated
bubbles blissfully glide to the top of
the chilled glass. A scent similar to
that of the smells associated with a
Sunday barbeque occupy the surrounding air space. The ale enters
the mouth and quickly signals for a
thrilling ride. The ale then quickly
attacks the taste buds. The taste
buds and tongue tense up due to the
powerful surge. The ale descends
beyond leaving a thick coating of
yummy in its wake.
"The smooth and sweet malty hop
flavor of Damnation is what makes it
hands down, my favorite Belgian Ale
anywhere on the market," said senior
Literature and Writing Studies Major
Adam Lowe.
Damnation should be enjoyed by
itself. This peculiar ale deserves full
attention to ensure proper satisfaction
and experience. Enjoy Cougars!

Throughout the concert, I couldn't help but ask myself
whether or not the Tweens and die-hard Panic fans really
enjoyed their new music as much as their older hits (after all,
nothing in the new CD allows them to legitimately scream
out 'WHORE' to assist the song). But while their dance,
electrónica, and pop sound may be a thing of the past and
their stage performances alongside burlesque dancers and
sideshow circus backdrops are a distant memory, their talent
still shines through.
Now that they've abandoned the synthesizer for acoustic
guitars, anyone who may have disregarded their music from
the first album could learn to love them with an open mind
and a fresh appreciation for classic rock with a twist.
Anyone attending the additional tour dates should expect
a good show., .at the end. While last year's Honda Civic Tour
headlined by Fall Out Boy opened with up and coming talent—this year's showcases bands that have been opening for
years without even a well known hit. The exception goes to
Phantom Planet for their 'California' single, which came out
in...2004?
Panic's musical abilities are still ever apparent. Lead singer
Brendon Urie's vocals were on par even though it was his
21st birthday. And, as an added bonus, the crowd got to sing
'Happy Birthday' to him.
In their first album, the boys were still so young and desperate for attention. Now Panic at the Disco, in their sophomore album, assures fans they don't have to worry—that
they are still the same band. But while the band's four members are still the same, their music is clearly not.

It is questionable whether "Leatherheads" should be considered a sports

The film is a contrast f rom Clooney's

and

its good looking cast, quality acting, and raw horror.
Set in Cancun, Mexico,
"The R uins" begins with
four American college

foursome decides to

an ancient Mayan temple
that is supposed to be exclusive and off

Based on the novel t urned screenplay by Scott B. Smith, the meat of the
film comes f rom the developing characters as they come to grips with the
reality set before them as once at the
temple, they become trapped and prisoners to a fate no logic or reason is able
to explain. Without giving away too
many of the exciting plot twists and key
moments in the film, it is safe to say that
the temple and the means to which the surrounding inhabitants go to keep it hidden
are extreme. For those who have not read
" The Ruins," on top of being scary, it is a
f un watch because the director and screenplay writer made conscious decisions to let
the audience discover what is happening
right alongside the characters in
the film, unlike many
other horror films that
are predictable and

" The
R uins" presents a psychological fear and dilemma unlike many other
horror flicks, as it capitulates traditional
plot motivations, and utilizes an evolved
fear that even with prosthetics and CG3
animation, is still hard to w rap one's brain
around. One thing is for sure though, " The
R uins" is worth the outrageous admission
price, and it will not disappoint even the
harshest of critics.

state budget following a statement
released earlier that day by the state
legislative leaders on the 2008/09

Everyone loved the Beatles
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
The
modern
music scene is
very diverse and
there is a number
of tunes to suit
any
persons
taste. There are
so many artist
performing in, redefining, and
blending various genres, it is
difficult to not find something
that suits your taste.
However, along with that, is
the overall loathing and despising of other genres and artists
by individuals.
Yet back in the 1960's there
was a music phenomenon,
everyone loved The Beatles.
When I say that, I know not
'everyone' loved The Beatles.
However, the fans outweighed
the opposed.
At concerts and album
releases, there was an absolute
f renzy of fanatics. People o ften
refer to this as 'Beatle-mania.'
The obsessive nature of Beatle
f ans was unlike anything ever
seen.
They were one of the main
contributors to the 'British Invasion,' the massive flood of British music coming to the United
States. They had a massive fan
base that spanned the world.
Their fame has lived on well
past their career. Albums and
paraphernalia are still high
selling items worldwide. Their
influence on the music world is
incalculable.
They
revolutionized
the
album making process by composing songs themselves, and
though they were not
the first to do so, they
made it the standard.
Traces of their music
style can still be heard
in modern music. Music
critics hail their work
as more than music, but
actual art.
In the mid to mid-late
20th century, this was
commonplace in the music
scene. Beatles fans were not
the only ones raging over the
band.
Other artist, such as Bob
Dylan, Elvis, and Johnny
Cash were j ust as big, then
and now. And this raises
questions about where this
activity has gone.
No longer are album stores
flooded on the day of release.
No longer do concerts become
a f renzy of helpless love for
the performer.
This says something about
the caliber of the quality of
music being made today. For
years there has not been an
artist that has had the same
glory as The Beatles or other
artist of their time.
I find it laughable that the
Internet is filled with comments and postings that the
Jonas Brothers are the new
Beatles. The Brothers' f an
base consists mostly of preteens and youths. They do
not have the same appeal to
all ages as the Beatles.
Without a doubt, The Beatles are the greatest musical artists ever. They have
made a mark commercially
and socially that has not, and
likely will never, be topped.

Letter to CSUSM cries wolf
the editor
I call foul
BY GINA P. KEETON
Years from now, when I look
back upon my educational experience here at CSUSM, I will
remember the many wonderful
professors I have had who aided
in shaping the ideas and thoughts I
hold. However, in pertaining to the
school itself, I will have only bitter
memories.
I think many individuals can
agree that the unification efforts at
this University are poor.
"Cougar Pride" is most likely
something that exists for a miniscule minority. There are virtually
no sports and no common enemy
for the CSUSM population to feel
as one.
Ironically enough, the only rallying efforts at this school involve
fighting the California State University budget cuts.
First off, this being my opinion, I want to make it clear that I
understand the CSU system had
been marginally hit by this lack of
funds. Nevertheless, I still believe
that CSUSM is not suffering as
much as they want us to believe.
These "budget cuts" are being
used as a pathetic excuse to cheat
the students out of more money.
Now why am I calling foul on
the school for their pleas to reduce
the cuts? It is a multitude of things
really.
Individual incidents that one
could just as easily turn their back
on as coincidence. Yet if you really
take a step back and look at certain
things with a new perspective, you
can see the bigger picture in which
everything is intertwined.
Over the summer a Professor
mentioned that the school had spent
an enormous amount of money to
change from the trusty Smart Web
system to theflawed,yet more visually attractive, MyCSUSM.
Then in the weeks approaching
the fell semester, the e-mail server
switched and the school's homepage got an unneeded makeover.
So why is it that a school that is
suffering for money happened to
splurge on superficial remodeling?
To make up for the budget cuts
. the school has cut GE courses in
which seniors who are graduating this fell still need but cannot
get into. The school is not allowing
transfer students this spring supposedly in response to the cuts.
To top it all off, the school's
offices are infested with incompetent workers. Preceding this
semester I had serious issues with
the Veteran's office, Financial Aid
and Scholarships, the Cashiers, and
even the Registrar.
After weeks of trying to get these
issues resolved and having no success, I went to the Dean of Students.
By the next morning I received
seven phone calls either telling me
that my complaint had np merit and
I don't know what I'm talking about
or kissing up to my derriere with an
incredible amount of force.
In the end, the problems were
resolved after much stress and hardship.
However, I cannot forget the
many lies I was told, the fact that
they kept a large scholarship check
of mine to collect interest on, and
the many individuals I went through
that did not have a clue of what was
going on in their own office.
Maybe what the school needs to
do, instead of trying to get State
funding, is take a good look at
their budget and try to clean up the
wrongs inside the school, instead of
giving it a shiny new website.

Several studies have concluded
seem to tell us the human impact that global warming has not had a
measurable impact on hurricane
intensity.
A study released earlier this
month by the Geophysical Fluid
Dynamics Laboratory, a partner of the Department of Commerce's the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric
Administration,
concluded "that despite statistical
correlations between SST [Sea
Surface Temperature] and Atlantic hurricane activity in recent
decades, it is premature to conclude that human activity—and
particularly greenhouse warming-has already had a discernible impact on Atlantic hurricane
activity."
The belief that a line has been
drawn in the sand may not be
as realistic or influential as one
might think.
In July 2006, Christopher
Landsea of NOAA challenged
the
scientific
community's
attempt to connect global warming with hurricane intensity on
the grounds that there simply
was not a comprehensive enough
body of data to make such a claim
with any sort of accuracy.
Older hurricane data is regarded
as incomplete and shoddy,
making it difficult to lend itself
to the long term examination of
global warming on hurricanes.
It seems obvious then to ask
yourself why all of this matters. If we are unable to say with
certainty or anything remotely
close to it that the hurricane
disasters of late are by our own
making, how is this an issue we
need to take seriously?
Not having enough evidence to
make the case isn't an excuse for
continuing to allow global warming to worsen.
The only reason why the science isn't quite where it should
be is because there isn't enough
to be measured yet. I am not
comfortable with gambling on
that uncertainty after witnessing
a string of devastating hurricanes

being of my fellow Americans.
The costs in lives and in damages if we continue to sidestep
the possibility of global warming
effects on hurricane intensity are
easily avoidable if we as Americans and citizens of the world
take the proper measures to make
sure this ceases to be an issue.
If we continue to idly stall until
we achieve absolute certainty
then the blood of America's hurricane victims will be on our
hands and ours alone.

THE PRIDE
Some of CSUSM's youngest
students still in diapers
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
Located adjacent to the UPD building
off La Moree Road is one of CSUSM's
newest resources. The Center for Children and Families just celebrated its
one-year anniversary at the beginning
of this month.
While the site is a childcare center, it
offers a wide range of services.
According to Francesca Gallozzi, the
director of the center, they offer childcare and preschool experience. They
are open to children aged 6 weeks to
5 years, or about the age of kindergarten.
The center is certified to care for
infants who are less than 24 months,
as well as being certified for children
over 2 years until junior preschool and
pre-k. Though the center is affiliated
with CSUSM, it is open to the community.
According t o Gallozzi, about 60% of
the children are from the community,
though students, staff and faculty have
priority in enrollment.
The children are cared for by fully
qualified teachers at low ratio of children to teacher, which they are proud
of, she said. Several workers happen
to be students, though they must meet
several requirements.
Other features include all meals
cooked on site for the children. The
center is also a learning lab for the
university for students who study child
development.
Gallozzi is pleased with the growth
of the center, and she is looking for
more ways to reach out.
When the center opened, there were
only 23 children, and enrollment is
currently more than 120.
"The school hasn't fully realized the
opportunities for engagement at the
center," she said.
One program implemented in the
center is the 'Cougars to Cubs' program. Student and staff can arrange
a visit to the center to teach children
about their field. Through this, both
parties may benefit from the experience.
Another program recently s tarted is
the 'Celebrity Readers Program.' The
center invites notable staff and community members to the center to bring
their favorite book and read to the children.
President Haynes was the first to
participate in the event.
The center will also collaborate with
the University Village to host a Halloween carnival for the children this
fall, a tradition started last year.
The Childrens' Creative Learning
Center (CCLC) is the parent company
of the center.
According to their website, the
CCLC is a nationwide company managing childcare centers since 1992.
Their emphasis is on centers for working families that provide learning
experience.
"We're really exited to be here and
excited about growth," said Gallozzi.

Catholic Club
gains popularity
BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
The club became official in March 2008.
Club President Phil Hoffman and Vice
President Nate McWeeney head the organization.
Jenny Doherty handles communications
by reaching out to all interested students.
Seven other officers comprise the group.
The club holds biweekly meetings every
first and third Wednesday of the month at
7PM in Dorm Building C Meeting Room
1. On Wednesday the 24th, they are meeting with another Christian club on campus
called Intervarsity at 7PM at the Clark
Field House in Room 110.
"It's popular for Catholic students to look
for schools with Catholic clubs. I wish we
had one when I started," said Hoffman.
Hoffman and others met with a few deities in San Diego before forming the club.
The deities gave support and funding for
the CSUSM Catholic club.
The churches even sent members from
the group on retreats to train and help them
with leadership.
The club's mission aims to unite Catholics on campus. The group also wants to
enable students to have a good Christian
experience on campus and unite them with
church. Eventually they want to establish a
Newman Center on campus.
The center provides a place of worship
for Catholic students. The club intends to
host a concert on campus next semester as
well.
"I think it's great that CSUSM students
are keeping our faith alive," said Senior
Management Major Suzette Monroyo.
60 students attended thefirstactual meeting back in April. Since then, more than 90
students joined the club's mailing list. For
more information visit www.facebook.
com/group.php?gid=29877041253 or send
e-mail to csusmcatholicclub@gmail.com.
"All are welcome. We can make people's
college experiences a memorable one with
friends and the opportunity to grow spiritually," said Hoffman.

Getting a job
FEATURES
Interview tips to make
sure you get the spot
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
One of the most intimidating parts of the job search is the
interview process. At CSUSM,
the Career Center, located in
Craven 1400, offers numerous resources to help with the
process. Pamela K. Wells, the
Associate Director of the Career
Center and a Career Counselor,
offers these tips.
•
Practice the interview.
If enough time is available,
schedule a mock interview in the
career center. Students have the
opportunity to practice an interview with a counselor. He or she
should come dressed appropriately and with personal information such as resume and cover
letter.
The session can be scheduled
for one hour and consist of at most
a 30 minute interview, which can
be recorded and bought for $3,
but is not mandatory.
A debriefing follows this and
the student can receive feedback.
If the timing of the interview
does not allow for a mock interview, students can also practice
online.
Through the Career Center's website, www.csusm.edu/
careers, students have access to
a program called 'Perfect Interview.' This online tool has students respond to typical interview questions.
It can utilize a computer's
webcam to record and playback
a student's response, or answers
can be typed into a text box.
Either way, students can view
appropriate responses to the
questions.
•
Be ready with information about yourself
Knowing one's strengths is an
important way to show that he
or she will be a good addition.
Along with knowing strengths,
the interviewee should be ready
with specific examples about
using these skills in the work-
place.
Using the STAR formula can
leave a positive impression. Be
able to frequently describe a
Situation and Task, as well as
the Action taken and Result to
show off one's strengths.
In addition, it is recommended
that the interviewee know about
the job they are going for. He or
she should be familiar with the
job description. As well, it is a
good idea to be familiar with
the position and company.
•
Make a strong first
impression
The first few seconds of the
interview are critical. One
should wear clean, pressed,
and fitting business or business
casual clothes, based on the
interview.
The interviewee should know
the traffic and the route taking
so that he or she can find parking and be on time.
•
Be memorable.
Often interviewers will ask
if one has any questions for
them. It looks good when one
asks specific relevant questions
because it shows interest in the
position.
In addition, the interviewee
should ask about what the next
step is, when he or she will hear
back, and take a business card.
Using the ^information on the
card, one should write a thank
you for the time in the interview.
Use the Career Center
Besides the Mock Interview,
the Career Center has many
more resources online and in
their office. Their 'Career Guide'
offers information to get started
on the job hunt and finer details
about interviewing, such as
the best way to give an answer,
things not to say, and fine details
on dressing.
If a company offers you an
interview that means you look
good on paper and the interviewer
wants to see more of your personality. Be confident, be yourself,
and good luck!

THE PRIDE
Surfer, Dude tells the story of Steve Attington, played by Matthew McConaghey,
a soul-surfer, who returns to his hometown, Malibu, only to find it tainted by new
age technology.
Attington rejects virtual reality video games and reality television sponsorship
offers, instead choosing to take the moral high ground and surf for the fun of it.
One day, while out on the surf, the waves suddenly stop and stay that way, a worst
nightmare for any surfer.
The wave drought causes Attington to lose his big sponsorship deals, forcing him
to either give in to the virtual reality world or wait around for the waves to come.
Also starring Woody Harrelson, Scott Glenn, Willie Nelson, and Alexie Gilmore.
The Pride caught up with Surfer, Dude director S.R. Bindler and Matthew McConaghey at a press junket at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego.

aflattire. Whatever those things are.
We're going to be a proverbiallyflabbysociety in our minds. When a machine breaks,
some people are stunned. They're done. If
the computer breaks, people go crazy. Somebody's Blackberry goes out and they're lost. I
don't know what to do.
How does your lead character in the
film (Attington) reflect what is going on in
the world today?
S.R.B.—How does a nature guy, someone that is tapped into nature, deal the fact
that his nature gets taken away from him?
We use the waves as metaphor to nature.
Nature goes away. For Attington, the waves
go away.
M.M.—He's landlocked. Stuck in a
world where the only thing that makes
sense is this digital world and his only
access to get the thing that he loves, this
very natural thing called a wave, is to go
down and live in this 'reality' house—to
digitize himself for thisfreesurfer game.
He's not a moralist going 'No, I don't like
that.' He's just going 'That's really not for
me, man. I'm a surfer out there, under the
sun. I'm not really into that.'
You look at reality TV now. Its this huge
craze and hugely successful but we all
know it's not real. Its false drama and we
love watching it and it's a turn on but its not
really happening.
I've never seen The Hills. The Food Network's got some good ones.
S.R.B.—How would a guy who is
authentic deal with these inauthentic realities? We thought that would be an interesting juxtaposition.
M.M.—Every surfer's worst nightmare is
when they're stuck and there's no waves. So,
they can go and they've all been there before.
They can go laugh at me going crazy and
know that when they get out of the theater
hopefully there's some swell of their own.
So, in that way, it is an—not anti-surf
film—but a non-surf film. We surf in the
beginning and then the waves go away.
So you wore the same board shorts for
the whole movie?
M.M.—It was the greatest wardrobe
ever.
He's (Attington) not even coherent that
maybe there's that manners and grace that
you should wear a shirt indoors. He doesn't
even think that way.
He's in the office, no shirt, shoes. He
doesn't even notice. We asfilmmakersnever
made a connotation or note to it. So that's
part of our humor as well.
People may go 'Oh McConaughey's got
His shirt off again,' but that's what's kind of
funny about it.
I did it a whole movie, all the way through.
It was great.
What makes this a good movie for the
fall?
M.M.—We're trying to catch the end of
summer and hopefully give you some of
that Sunkist fun.
Surfing is sort of a backyard sport in
San Diego. Why should surfers go see
this movie?

Student spotlight Kimberiy Koga
CSUSM's Resident poet
BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER
A&E Editor
The first impression of Kimberiy
Koga is small little package that packs
big punch. Koga's petite f rame hiding
the deep waters of creativity flowing
beneath. Koga is a senior in the Literature and Writing program here at
CSUSM with an emphasis in writing.
When asked what inspired her to write
she confesses that a school report written
by her sister on the i nfamous Bonnie and
Clyde, Koga learned that Bonnie was a
poet and that attracted her to poetry.
Photo by Kathryn McBrayer/The Pride
From there the writings of E.E. Cummings, Charles Bukowski, Lewis Carroll, Jim Morrison, Jack Kerouac
"helped steer [her] writing in different
directions, and exposed [her] to different
techniques that never crossed my mind
before."
Although Koga's main form of
expression is poetry she has recently
been exploring screen writing and the
novel. Koga hopes to own a publishing
company and be able to support herself
with writing.
Before the publishing end of writing
takes her main focus away Koga wants
to complete an MFA in creative writing
but insists, "no matter where my publishing company/MFA plans take me, I
will always be writing."
Koga began creatively writing at
around the age of 12 and admits that
it has been an "essential form of communication." Writing for Koga is not
achieved in the textbook classical form
of development.
Koga writes in stream of consciousness and uses words as a source for
emotional expression. Koga says o fthe
writing process, "Most of the time I sit
down with a blank brain and see what
comes out."
Koga enjoys poetry for they way a
"singular word will express whole sen-
tences or paragraphs of meaning." Koga
is less thrilled with the revision process
of poetry because she finds it can be a
tremendous e ffort.
Koga usually will write a piece and
hedge self-editing until a few months
later. Koga allows the poem/story per-
colate in her mind and then go back to it
for editing.
Wherever the writing/publishing
world takes Koga f rom CSUSM its safe
to say the j ourney has j ust begun. A
sampling of Koga's poems can be found
in the " Pride" on line.

Booze, tattoos and rock and roll, the 2008
Street Scene went back to its roots in downtown San Diego for a two-day music festival.
Held in the East Village, behind Petco Park,
this all-ages event attracted alcohol enthusiasts, parents with their pre teen youngster and
a variety of eccentric indie rockers together
for the love of music.
Friday's lineup hosted more alternative
sounds then years before, such as headlining
act Beck. Cat Power and MGMT were also
big names on the line up for Friday.
At 4:30 PM, The Films took the Fulana

streets, drawtóg a largér crowd then excepted

.
Later on in the night, MGMT, a band
whose trendy 80's beats are very much keen
to the Flaming Lips melodic tones, took the
Zarabanda Stage at 5:45 PM and played a 45
minute set.
The stage was set at the end of a narrow
street, which was lined with apartment complexes, which did not help with the acoustics,
ings, the fest is begging to be heard. And so
it was.
Saturday seemed to flow more smoothly
than Friday. The food was prepared more
quickly, the bands started and ended on time,
the traffic was better. It seemed that after only
one day the festival was familiar to people, a
short lived home awayfromhome.
The four stages, named after popular music
venues around San Diego, were rooted in the
streets, becoming a part of the neighborhood.
As the second half of bands began around
4:30, the weather was noticeably cooler than
the day before, a sharp contrast against the
heat of the lights and warmthfromthe sea of
bodies. The Whigs kicked the doors open with
their own brand of classic radio rock. Their
set woke people up and excitement
was back in the air.

Though, the band was a crowd pleaser they
played radio tunes, "Electric Feel," off their

20 bands total played Friday night, and
ended with an amazing show from Beck.
Starting at 10:45 PM, Beck was on the biggest
stage, the Fulano Stage, where they played an
hour and 15 minute life changing set.
But Street Scene is more than just music, on
Friday, the streets werefilledwith local artwork showcased for sale, local and imported
fashion was displayed, as well as the popular

As the night began to draw to a close, out
with the moon came the headlining acts to
top of the festival. The National closed out the
Fulana stage, their inspirational set being a
highlight of the day for many fans.
Immediately after on the Fulano stage, 80's
new wavers Devo hit the stage, bringing nostalgia into the new millennium with style. As
thefinalnotes of their set rang around the festival, it seemed to be a perfectfitto an event
that has been going on for 24 years, where
genres of the past and present collide, creating an atmosphere of musical bliss.

Jperfect chance to watch this gangster epic for thefirstor
50th time. There is not much to say, these are some of the
|greatest movies ever made.
GRADE: A
This star packed film puts on a clinic in brilliant acting. This
is a must-see film, which was robbed at the Oscars by Titanic.
This film is perfect. The direction, acting, and story combine
to make an awesome crime drama.
RUNFATBOYRUN
GRADE: C+
Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz star Simon Pegg stars
in this comedy about love and athleticism. Though it
provides a few laughs, it may not be worth the time due to
it's predictability. It lacks the originality of some of Pegg's
earlier works.
LEATHERHEADS
GRADE: C e
George Clooney stars in this comedy about the dawn of
professional football. Though it had a promising cast and LEATHERHEADS
interesting premise, the story fallsflatand becomes misguided
between elements of screwball and romantic comedy.

ROCK/ALTERNATIVE
Loyalty to Loyalty
COLD WAR KIDS
Fullerton natives, Cold War Kids, follow their debut album
with another hard and fast hit of a record. The indie princes
have established a rather mysterious tone surrounding the
release, but the band's website kept things interesting with
cryptic updates andfreealbum-only downloads.
POP
Doll Domination
PUSSYCAT DOLLS
The incendiary pop troupe rides in on the heels of the
successful single release, "When I Grow U p/' coasting
toward the Missy Elliott-spiked second single, "Whatcha
Think About That" The sophomore album boasts sixteen
original tracks, citing Tina Turner as a notable influence.
R OCK/POP/PUNK
Only by the Night
|KiNGS OF LEON
It's hard to believe Only by the Night istihtefourth studio
albumfromthese southern rockers. The album leaked onto
|the internet almost two weeks ago, but there's no stopping
a successful official release. Thefirstsingle, "Sex on Fire,"
overtook the UK charts as number one last week.
ROCK
Dear Science
TV ON THE RADIO
[Rumored elements of TV on the Radio's thin! album, Dear
Science, include their heavy-handed trademarks as well as
soul and electro. An experiment in and of itself, Dear Science
is still a bit of a style departurefromthese New Yorkers,
nonetheless quite likely to go down as a fan favorite.

Appreciate yourself!
ASI holds Love Yoúf Body event
BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday October 29
during university hour, men
and women alike visited the
Library Plaza and participated
in "Love Your Body Day." The
plaza was f ull of booths, giveaways, and activities encouraging students to love their bodies.
The ASI Women's Center put on
this event for the fourth year in a
row, but the National Organization for Women (NOW) started
this event 12 years ago.
Jessica Castro, a Women's
Center peer educator and the
coordinator of "Love Your Body
D ay" described it as "an event
about positive body image."
The NOW website descepáis it
as a day encouraging wqújga*tó
"fight b ack" against cosmetic,
fashion, and diet industries
which "work hard to make each
of us believe that our bodies are
unacceptable and need constant
improvement" in order to sell
their products.
The event on campus included
tables by organizations f rom on
and o ff campus promoting positive body image, health, and
athletics. Clif Bar gave out f ree
samples of the LUNA bar which
they market towards women, and
Froyo Love gave f ree yogurt to
anyone who got a card stamped
to prove he or she had checked
i | n at every booth.
§^Sttident Health and Counseling Services representatives
Cathy Nguyen, a health educator, and Shannon Starnater, an
intern, talked to students about
healthy habits and remind them
that they have access to nutritional counselors.
One popular table at t he event
was one at which people could
color drawings of a vagina with
crayons. Melissa R odriguez of
t he Women's Center explained
that t he coloring sheets were
" for the inner child in all of
u s t o get more f amiliar with
their vagina and to not t hink
of them as ugly or scary," and
explained that children o ften
Photos by Maeve Camplisson
learn t hrough coloring books
and worksheets.
The Women's Center had
another booth selling pink
shirts, which read, " Start a revolution. Stop hating your body."
They also gave away buttons
with various empowering messages.
The LGBTA club set up a
table against domestic violence,
and J ennifer Meneray, club president, explained to visitors that
domestic violence can be committed by anyone and towards
anyone no matter their gender,
despite popular stereotypes.
The Pride Center gave away
f ree bracelets and supplies while
visitors had the o pportunity t o
write and draw positive messages inside a traced body.

Watch out the Tea Party Express is abouti
Money Management
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride S taff Writer
Depending on whom you are and
how much you keep track ofthe news
and politics, you may have heard that
the Tea Party Express arrived in San
Diego last Sunday at Tuna Harbor
Park. The movement hits 38 cities
in 17 different states, starting in San
Diego, California and eventually
ending u pjn Orlando, Florida three
weeks later. Other states being visited include Alabama, Louisiana and
most notably Texas, which has the
most stops on the schedule with 7.
As t heJgsy|8B was in S p Diego
I fektisfe^v^inldeal opportunity to
invest^gate j ust w ^at the Tea jfearty
Express supportirs were actually
protesting a bout Upon arriving I
sdw ffaeq? was j£&rowd gathering,
m ^ y holding t iigns expressing
their views. "Just Say No to the O,"
"Socialists are just thieves with an
education," "Obama don't attack
our freedom of Xpression, What are
you afraid of, the truth?" I decided
to interview a few local residents
about why they were at the protest
and what they thought of their President of the United States. One man
said, "I stood up against communism when I was in the Navy and
now they're in the White House."
Ha^was worried about his grandchildren and their future ifthe country continued the way he thought
it was going. He also talked about
his views on health care, he said,
"It's not about giving health care,
it's about controlling the people."
_
Another protestor shared similar views, she said, "It's a move
towards socialism, taking over
the health care system, appointing tsars. We need to reform the
health care system, not replace i t"
When asked about their
thoughts on Obama they seem to
respond negatively towards the
President, one man said, "He's
pathetic. He's put all the tsars in
the white house, he starting out
with socialism. If he gets a second
term the country will be in a hell
of a situation." Other pvrotestors
went further, "He's completely
t akingthe country in the wrong
direction. He's not done anything.
He's j us|a PR figmen^a persona,
a celeBnty ^ i d e n t " % said onewoman. One protestor had a difr;
ferent insight O Obama, he said,
Q
"Would you I k your 16 year old
daughter learn to drive in your
$100,000 Mercedes?" I replied
no, he then said* "Well that is like
what Obama is doing with this
country; he?s learning to drive
with this country.- That had t o Be
the best quote that I got during the
day. He also said, ¿"He's buying
people, buying the public, with
peanuts."
As a writer and an exchange student I am trying to remain impartial, but you, the reader, can look at
the protestors' comments and form
your own opinion. Do you think
these people have a point? Or are
they completely wrong? Do you
think that Obama is taking America into a brighter future?

Sigur Ros
a
IiI
BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
I've always held firm to the
belief that a song is made good by
its lyrics. Best-case scenario: recitation of the lyrics could pass as a
poem (a well-crafted poem, specifically). Granted, there are plenty
of artists out there whose real talent
is musical composition. Call me
biased, call me crazy, but I'll get
defensive if you call me wrong.
Of course, this is a bit of an irrational claim. Considering a lot of
the most popular musicians don't
even write their lyrics (a la Britney Spears, anyone?), I'm sure my
feeble views aren't the consensus of the listening world. After I
realized that, I figured a little selfreflection was in order.
There are 62 Sigur Ros tracks in
my music library. I know there are
more to be had, but I'd say a collection of that many songs provides
a decent knowledge of the band.
Something that just happened to
get past me for a time is that the
song lyrics are in Icelandic.
Ok, big deal. I don't understand
the meaning of the words, but
they sure sound nice. And Jonsi
Birgisso, lead singer and lyricist, is
so creative that he crafted an entire
album without actual lyrics. Guitarist Goggi Holm makes strange,
howling noises by dragging a cello
bow across his strings, while Kjarri
Sveinsson and Orri Pall Dyrason
add more interest with keyboards
and percussion.
Now is the point of no return. I

actually think I may need to rework
my claim a little bit. The album ( )
is easily the band's most inventive
work. In Sigur Ros's 2006 documentary, Heima, Birgisso said the
human voice is too separate from
the music it accompanies. In other
words, the nonexistent lyrics of ( )
are the most refined gibberish on
the planet. Birgisso calls the emotive "language" Hopelandic, or
Vonlenska in Icelandic.
Incidentally, ( ) just happens to
be my favorite Sigur Ros album.
And look at that, there are no lyrics
to speak of. Notice that it's even
a mystery how to actually say ( )
aloud.
Sigur Ros's four other studio
albums have lyrics, but the majority of them are in Icelandic. Their
meanings are only accessible
through shoddy translations from
fans on the internet, so the real
effect of the words is simply
masked by translation. On their
latest album, Med sud i eyrum
vid spilum endalaust (translation:
With a buzz in our ears we play
endlessly), there is one song in
English, called "AH Alright."
As per the norm, the song is
an instrumental beauty. But the
lyrics, some of which hardly
make sense, don't propel the song
the way the ambient sounds do.
Did you catch that? It's the music
that makes the song.
I set out writing this with the
objective of proving myself
wrong, and this unassuming
Icelandic band helped me do it.
Innovation is the name of the
game here, and if an artist can
write a successful song using all
of three words, he must be doing
something right. Sigur Ros,
you're doing it right.

Tuition rises 9 percent for fall 2012
T uition fnr Cal State San MarTuition or P al Qtat^ Qon A/To*.
cos students will rise another 9
percent next fall as the result of a
budget vote last week by the California State University Board of
Trustees.
At a raucous meeting in Long
Beach on Nov. 16 - where student
protestors disrupted the meeting
by chanting and waving signs trustees voted 9 to 6 to approve
a budget that will raise tuition by
$498 per year to $5,970 beginning in fall 2012.
CSU tuition has more than
doubled since 1999, when it
was $2,572 per student. Over
the years, tuition hikes covered
budget deficits caused by declining state support. The CSU's $2
billion budget for 2012-2013 is
smaller than the $2.14 billion
budget in 1999, even though there
are 72,000 more students attending CSU campuses today, trustees
reported.
University officials anticipate
the latest tuition increase will be
the last for the 2012-2013 school
year - even though the state may

enues come up short.
"If they cut another $100 million from the budget, our portion
would be $2.5 million," said Cal
State San Marcos spokeswoman
Margaret Lutz. "We have some
ideas on how to keep those cuts
from negatively impacting students or instruction."
She said this may include shift-
cuts, growing class sizes and a
wage freeze caused by statewide
budget cuts.
Don Barrett, CFA chapter president at Cal State San Marcos, said
the protest drew a small crowd of
students, including a few who
joined in.
Last week, faculty at the CSU
East Bay and Domínguez Hills
campuses held a one-day strike,
the first in CFA history, Barrett
said.
"We've never struck before,"
he said. "In the past, we had to
threaten to strike to get the chancellor's office moving and this
time we felt we needed to go qn
strike. I want to be clear, the strike
was not over the lack of a contract
but over salary issues that happened over the previous contract.
The strike reflected the chancellor's decision to not treat the faculty fairly." Photo courtesy of Don Barrett

Native American H eritage Month
celebrated with new facility
Kristin Melody
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM opened the California
Indian Culture and Sovereignty
Center (CICSC), Nov. 17, in
the Social and Behavioral Science Building to facilitate Native
American activities on campus
and collaborate with California
tribes.
"There is simply no other place
in California like this one," President Karen Haynes said at the
opening speech.
November is Native American
Heritage month and the CICSC
is open to all California tribes including the 18 tribes in southern
California. It is a meeting place
for American Indian Student Association (AISA) and many other
outreach and development programs.
"With the opening of this center
we are creating a brighter future... and creating history once
again at Cal State San Marcos,"
President Haynes continued.
The CICSC addresses Native
Americans face a unique challenge in attending college as they
most often are leaving a reservation for the first time. This is the
first center dedicated to Native
Americans in the CSU system.
There are more than 10 student
members of AISA and they aim
to "create solidarity among Indian students...and to meet other
American Indians," Tommy Devers, a CSUSM Masters of Sociology student and member of the
Pauma Indian Tribe said.
"Native American peopled
dreams are just as important as
anybody else's," Chairman James
Ramos said, the first Native
American to be appointed to the
California Board of Education.
Dr. Joely Proudfit is the CICSC
director and collaborates with local tribes and tribal leaders to run

A mountain lion was spotted on
campus Wednesday night. It was
the fourth time in five years that
the big cats have been seen on
university property.
About 10 p.m. Nov. 16, campus
police got a call from an emergency kiosk in student Lot F at
the south end of campus. When
they responded, police spotted the
mountain lion, or cougar, heading
back up into the hills near Lot F,
according to university spokeswoman, Margaret Lutz.
Lutz said it was the first time a
mountain lion had been seen on
campus since October of last year
(lions were also spotted several
times at the south end of campus
in 2007 and 2008) .
'With so much open space in
the area, we have a lot of wildlife
that comes on campus at nights
looking for food. People say
they've spotted deer. The moun^
tain lions always seem to show up
in the fall months and they usually always hunt alone," Lutz said.
Cougars are native to the area
and CSUSM's official mascot.
The campus is built on Luiseno
Indian laud. The university's
original mascot was Tukwut, cougar, in Luiseno.
Although there's never been
a dangerous encounter between
a mountain lion and students or
faculty, Lutz said the California
Department of Fish and Game is
advising students to avoid walking alone on campus at night. If
you encounter a mountain lion,
do not run (because it will trigger the cat's instinct to chase) but
stand your ground, wave your
arms and make noise to scare it
off. If a lion is spotted, call campus police from a kiosk or from a
cell phone at 760-750-4567.

in the CSU system. In six months,
the CICSC and its partners developed a Luiseno language learning

The center has resources including workstations, offices and
research capabilities to focus on
concerns and issues regarding
tribes or Native American students.

Internationally-acclaimed poet reads at CSUSM
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
Poet Clayton Eshleman was
featured as the last part of the
fall semester's Community and
World Literary Series (CWLS)
on Thursday.
Professor Mark Wallace introduced Eshleman with much
praise as having been at the heart
of American poetry since the early 1960s.
Eshleman has contributed to the
literary world through his own
poetic production and the trans-
lating of poems from poets Cesar
Vallejo, Pablo Neruda and Henri
Michaux.
Eshleman took the stage and announced that he would be reading
nine poems from his book "Anticline," thefirstpoem a recounting
of an experience he and his wife
had in Italy.
Following the first poem, he
shared that he has been translating poetry as long as he has been
reading and writing it.
Between poems, Eshleman
would often share anecdotes and
personal trivia which gave the audience a perspective into his nature as a writer.
"I write a lot of poems about art
or artists," he said, sharing how
if he had been turned to the left
or right, he would have been a
painter.
Eshleman's reading of his poetry often felt conversational,
especially in the literal sense during his last reading, a dialogue
between himself and the artist
Max Ernst. His imagery, at times
graphic, led to much laughter in
F eatures
the audience, as well as the occasional audible "Wow!" Even
Eshleman laughed through some
his own words as he read.
During the Questions and Answers portion, topics approached
included when Eshleman started
writing, his view of surrealism,
thoughts on the future of publishing houses in the internet age and
the importance and influence of
travel.
Dr. Wallace, who headed the
series, felt that this semester's
CWLS was beneficial for students
because he brought in writers normal literary exposure.
The CWLS will begin again in

No Shave November for a c ause P rofessor S potlight
Helps raise money for cancer research
Melissa Martinez
Pride Staff Writer
Ever wondered why men seem to neglect
their beards during the winter? Maybe as
their way of staying warm or in honor of a
tradition called No Shave November.
On Oct. 31, dedicated men shaved their
beards for the last time to grow out for the
duration of November. Most
men decide to grow out their
facial hair to support prostate
cancer awareness month. The
goal is to embrace hair and
let it grow to unimaginable
lengths. Since most cancer
patients lose their hair to
chemotherapy
treatments,
non-shavers can donate the
money they would normally spend to
maintain their hair to cancer research. No
Shave November is less expensive than
shaving every couple of days and is tax
deductible.
According to the National Cancer Institute website,. prostate cancer is "cancer
that forms in tissues of the prostate, usu-
ally occurring in older men."
In the United States, there were approximately 240,890 new cases and 33,720
deaths in 2011. There are many organizations funding research to cure prostate
cancer, such as "ZERO—The Project to
End Prostate Cancer."
ZERO is a charity that not only wants to
reduce prostate cancer, but end the disease
entirely. Their main goal is
to lengthen the lives of men
who were diagnosed with
prostate cancer by providing them with treatment to
cure their cancer, manage
their illness and have a life
that doesn't involve constant treatment to try and
end their suffering.
This particular organization offers ways
to help raise prostate cancer awareness
as well as promote early diagnosis by offering free testing. It also gives patrons a
chance to support organizations such as
"The Great Prostate Cancer Challenge &
DASH FOR DAD," a national race series.

Downloading the effects of drugs
Controversy rises over sound waves that give feeling of being high
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
Websites such as idosing.org, idoser.com and i-dose.us are selling audio tracks which provide
the listener with similar side effects of taking specific drugs.
These listening experiences are
known as "sonic drugs" and "idosing."
According to nbclosangeles.
com, "Sonic drugs work through
binaural beats ~ the playing of
two slightly different tones and
frequencies into both ears simultaneously/'
Many sites, including i-dose.us,
provide online shoppers with the
ability to purchase audio tracks
appropriately titled to the effects
they have on the listener. Some
tracks offered on the site include
"Deep Sleep" which is said to
help wijth sleep-related disorders,
"Quit Smoking" which helps the
listener to quit smoking and "Stop
Alcohol Abuse" which helps the
listener treat alcoholism.
While some tracks assist in
treating disorders and addictions,
there are also other websites
which offer audio experiences
that provide the effects of stimulants, both legal and illegal. Experts are advising caution when
approaching these audio tracks .
"It's not like you listen to an
i-dose for crack cocaine and the
next day you're smoking a crack
pipe [...] But I do think that if
you have an impressionable 13
- 14-year-old kid that does an idose, it may drop their inhibition
if they're presented with the real
drug to try it," addictions specialist Dr. Gregory Smith said in an
interview with Colleen Williams
of NBCLA.
One website that offers this legal listening experience is i-doser.com. Some of the MP3 tracks
sold on the site provide the listener with the effects of anti-depressants, inspiration and confidence.
However, some tracks are named
after and provide the listener with
the effects of illegal substances
including marijuana, cocaine and
LSD.

Seven out of ten Americans
claim Christmas as their favorite
holiday according to an Associated Press poll.
Well, that poll was conducted in
1981.
Sorry if that mislead you. However, I feel a little mislead by inferred holiday statistics, too.
Apparently, 100 percent of
Americans begin celebrating
Christmas before Halloween. At
least, that's what retailers seem
to claim. Some stores' Christmas
layaway began in October; so of
course, the deals begin by then.
Of course, your family has a large
Christmas list, so you'd better get
a head start.

Making Thanksgiving
Doholroh Hroon
Rebekah Green
Pride Staff Writer
In "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,"
Sally Brown said, "Why should I give
thanks on Thanksgiving? What have I got
to be thankful for?"
Unlike Sally, it's not hard for me to think
about what I 'm thankful for. I'm grateful
for my family, my friends, etc. I 'm thankful for the things I have. And the times
when I'm not cramming on multiple papers due in the same week, I'm thankful
for the opportunity I have to be in college.
Being thankful isn't the only thing people
do on Thanksgiving though (not to say that
we shouldn't be thankful any other day of
the year). It is also a time for people take
part in nationwide traditions and more personal traditions that transcend generations.
-Let's face it. When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of food. Needless to say,
food is a big deal - or rather, it becomes a
big deal, especially once the holiday season
rolls around. Foodconsumer.org weighs
some statistics: practically two-thirds of
turkey from the U.S. last year originate
from just six states (with Minnesota as
the winner at 47 million) and 735 million
pounds of cranberries were produced in
the U.S. in the same year. Food consuming aside, Thanksgiving's traditions differ
from household to household, but many
remain almost universal in the U.S.
If there is a football fan present within
the house, that television will be on for the
game. If you aren't watching football and
you aren't able to attend in person, you're
probably watching the annual Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade, held in New
York City, on NBC or CBS. Some people
are just anxious for Christmas tofinallyarrive. Others are just too stuffed to do anything.
Thanksgiving has come a long way since
the 1600s, and I for one am glad that so
many people have made it unique to.their
own personal traditions and meanings. It
doesn't matter what you do for Thanksgiving or who you do it with. So don't worry
if you don't have an actual turkey, if you
can't stand football, if you forgot about the
parade or if none of these apply to what
you do. The heart of the matter is to make
memories that will stick for years.to come
and to take time to appreciate your life*.
You. don't have to think hard to answer
Sally Brown's question. There is always
something to be thankful for.

November makes m e nostalgic, but not just
for music of my distant past. These songs
may not seem like they belong together a t
first listen, but e ach track gives a sense of
memory, love, loss a nd hope.
A rcade Fire's "Rebellion (ties)" depicts how
sleep c an b e a n excuse to get a way from
the realities of our lives. It fits well with the
themes that I get from their album Funeral
- the dramatic a nd often sad switch from
childhood to adulthood a nd how the w ay
w e see things b ack then seem to twist
around completely as w e get older. It's definitely nostalgic a nd emotional but still keeps
some of the heaviness u pbeat a nd fun.
Feist's " 12 3 4" manages to sound happy
a nd almost playful while dealing with issues
of time a nd how fickle the heart c an b e
w hen it remembers love.
"A Thread Cut with a Carving Knife" by Stars
tells the stories of four different people in
three different situations (romantic, troubling,
etc.) a nd shows how no matter w ho you are
or w hat y ou've b een through, life is indeed
unpredictable a nd as fragile as a thread.
Coldplay's "Paradise" sparks a sense of
escaping the harshness of reality a nd finding
comfort in your own paradise. It definitely
makes you feel as though you are being
lifted out of your life a nd you a re given four
minutes a nd 39 seconds to hide a way in a
paradise of your own.
The Beatles' "Let It B e" is a n exception on '
this list as a song that c an literally take you
b ack to the past to w hen you would hear
it on the radio or o n your parents' favorite
albums. This track is nostalgia a nd h ope
w rapped up in o ne of the most memorable
songs I know.

CSUSM promotes civility on campus
Civility Campaign hopes to reform the university's sense of community
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
At the start of this semester, the
Civility Campaign was organized and founded on the
CSUSM campus.
The campaign, led by the
Dean of Students Office,
promotes the essence of
community and the Values
needed to reach a strengthened sense of community.
This idealistic community is said to be reached
through the practice of a set
of values and respect.
'The university strives
to be a community demonstrating respect for oneself
and for others, treatment
of others with dignity, and
behaviors which promote a
physically and psychologically safe, secure and supportive climate enabling | ^
all community members to
engage as full and active ]
participants where the free
flow of ideas are encouraged and
affirmed/' the Civility Campaign
page on the CSUSM website
states. The campaign's committee
consists of roughly 15 members
comprised of CSUSM faculty,
staff and students. The committee lives by a pledge which states,
"As a member of the CSUSM
community I will conduct myself
with care, respect, and empathy
awarded to the winners of an opportunity drawing.
On the Civility webpage, students are also encouraged to nominate any CSUSM faculty, staff
while acknowledging the culture
and humanity of others."
During U-Hour on the first
Tuesday of every month, the
Civility Campaign hosts a tshirt day in which free shirts are

month, the committee will award

San Diego Padres will ditch
their wave styled font and

During the 2011 season,
the Padres debuted their

remain the same.
Throughout the team's
history, the primary uniform changed four times.
The original 1975 edition
Padres uniform was yellow

In 1984, their uniforms
changed again to a retro

The last change occurred

Other religious and cultural holidays celebrated during the u)inter season
Kyle M.Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
While Christmas is one of the
most widely-celebrated of
holidays in American
culture, many other
holidays take place in
close proximity in the
calendar.
Another form of the
Christmas celebration exists
in the Catholic tradition. While
many Christmas celebrations
pay tribute to the birth of Jesus,
Catholic celebrations express a
form of preparation for the second coming of the Lord.
According to the Catholic Education Resource Center, "The
Catholic Church has designated
the four weeks preceding Christmas as Advent, a time to 'prepare
the way of the Lord.'"
The Catholic Education Resource Center also lists in
great detail many activities of Advent. Each activity including the Advent
wreath, the blessing of the
tree and the Christ and
Mary candles act as a
symbol of the faith of
the Catholic Church.
Hanukkah is a Jew-
ish holiday that is celebrated for
Kwanzaa, a cultural holiday

Artificial vs. live Christmas trees
What do you prefer?

Do you prefer the Christmas
tree smell and excitement of picking a live tree each year or the
consistency and convenience of
an artificial Christmas tree?
People have different opinions
on the matter because it's related
to family traditions.
"Its easier to have a fake tree. I
grew up with a real tree til [sic]
my parents got lazy," student
Adam Dettelbach said.
According to Art Espinoza,
"The Christmas Tree Guy," at
Home Depot in Oceanside, artificial trees are fairly easy to assemble, last longer than live Christ-
mas trees and are energy efficient.
Though there are many pros to
artificial trees, some people still
prefer real ones.
"I like real Christmas trees, if
they stay alive. I mean sure fake
Christmas trees will save you in
the long run, but they take up so
much space in storage and you
have to assemble them," student
Chandra Charette said.
Artificial Christmas trees do not
have the beloved pine smell and
tend to be pricey.
It's also a hassle to assemble
and disassemble the artificial tree
each year, let alonefinda place to
store it.
Still, people have their own traditions when it comes to Christmas trees.
According to tree farmer Bill
Warren of Mission Pines Christmas Trees in Fallbrook: live
Christmas trees are fresh, have
that wonderful "Christmas" smell
and you get the pleasure of going
out and picking your own Christmas tree.
There are a few cons in buying
a live tree.
Since it is a tree, it's flammable, doesn't live long and makes
a mess with pine needles.
No matter how you feel on
whether on the matter, it's up to
you.
"Christmas is not Christmas
without the real Christmas tree,"
student Tara De Gaetano said.

Happy Hour of the Week: Ocean House in Carlsbad
Kristin Melody
Pride Staff Writer
The Ocean House is an iconic
landmark of Carlsbad and provides a decent happy hour with a
unique setting.
The Ocean House is a beautiful Victorian era building that has
been around for 120 years. It lies
in the heart of downtown Carlsbad and is very close to the beach.
The Ocean House prides itself on their Sunday champagne
brunch served, from 9:30 a.m.
- 2:30 p.m. which is hosted in a
spacious dance room with large
wooden floors. For students on
a budget, head over to their bar
room Monday - Friday, between
3 - 6 p.m. to take advantage of
the happy hour while enjoying
the antique setting.
The happy hour includes $2 off
mixed cocktails, draft beers and
house wines. The beer list supports local breweries with beers
such as Ballast Point Black Marlin Porter, Stone Pale Ale, Coronado Orange Ave Wit, Green
Flash 30th Street Pale Ale and
Port Brewing Wipeout IPA. To
fill up on snacks Ocean House
provides cheap eats including $4
nachos, cheese fries, quesadillas
or potato skins and $5 artichoke
spinach dip and chicken strips.
The Ocean House also runs
discounted domestic beer for $3
and $5 burger and fries during all
football games.
What is most enticing about
the Ocean House is the historic
setting that mixes modern attractions like banquets, weddings and
salsa dancing on Sundays with
rustic and antique architecture
and design. The Palm Room, in
the front, has a history that dates
back to 1922 and is a nice lounge
with large windows overlooking
the main walkway of downtown
Carlsbad.
The Ocean House is open Monday - Wednesday 11 a.m. - midnight, Thursday - Saturday 1 1 - 2
a.m. and Sunday 9:30 - 2 a m. It
is located on 300 Carlsbad Village Drive in Carlsbad.

Ringing i n t he New Year with roses
Melissa Martinez ,
Pride Staff Writer
If you don't have special plans
to celebrate the New Year, the
Tournament of Roses Parade is
an amazing experience to take
part in.
Every year since 1890, Pasadena (located in the Los Angeles
County, 2 hours away from San
Marcos) housed traditional floats
made entirely out of flowers as
well as the "Rose Bowl" game,
which consists of the top colle-
giate college teams in the U.S.
Marching bands, floats and
people come from all over the
country to partake in this historic
event, camping out days ahead of
time in Old Town Pasadena, with
tents and blankets along the parade trail throughout the streets of
the historic city.
Guests for the Rose Parade include the mayor of Pasadena and
the Grand Marshallr as well as
the Rose Princesses and Queen,
high school students who have
been chosen from a cohort of
12th grade females, who have
auditioned to represent the Tournament of Roses as Pasadena's
queen.
*
Beginning bright and early on
Jan. 2 at 8 a jn., the 123rd Rose
Parade will make its journey
throughout Pasadena to present
the work of thousands who devote the entire year to the debut
of their floats. The Rose Parade
is a great way to celebrate the arrival of the New Year by joining
those who travel from all over
the country to
welcome another year of life.
However, if you already have
plans in celebrating the New Year
elsewhere, you can always watch
the televised version of the Parade on any network channel, all
day long Jan. 2.
Fast forward your career.
Take advantage of multiple start dates, no requirement changes,
and convenient block'scheduling—ideal for working professionals.

Dec. 12, 2011 will be quite a
day for me. No, I won't be finished with finals. No, I won't
be going on a tropical vacation.
Actually, I'm going to the Ellen
DeGeneres Show for her Twelve
Days of Giveaways. So far, it's
looking way better than a trip to
Hawaii.
If you think you just show up
at Warner Brothers Studios in
Burbank on the day of the show's
taping, you would be wrong. Attending the Ellen show is a process which must be followed to
the letter. Those who attend the
Twelve Days of Giveaways must
be invited by Ellen herself, a treat
I received back in April of 2011.
My mom—a die-hard Ellen
fan—scored tickets to a taping of
the Ellen show on April 20 and,
of course, invited yours truly.
Fortunately, the guest packet
mailed prior to the show outlines
the dos and don'ts of an Ellen
audience member. If you're late,
you're out. If you're without ID,
you're out. If you're a convicted
criminal, you're out (seriously—
the Ellen show conducts preshow background checks on its
audienôe).
Once you find yourself on the
Ellen soiundstage, chances are,
y ou'll there to stay. Before you
go into the studio, you have to
walk through what Ellen c au^ne
"riff raff' room. This is where the
stand-by people who show up the
day of the show go if there were
no cancellations or open seats in
the audience. It is actually Ellen's
very beautiful and well appointed
gift shop, outfitted with memorabilia and several large HD TVs
for remote viewing of the live
show.
•.
The riff raff room leads the
audience into the set as you see
on TV. If you wear bright colors,
you're more likely to get a seat
toward the front of the stage as
per the direction of thé audience
managers. Also, I sure did see a
lot of blondes in the front row.
Not that I'm insinuating the Ellen show likes blondes better than
brunettes or anything.
Anyway, once you're seated,
fun, hilarious people warm-up the
audience pre-show and get you
dancing—a lot. I'm talking outof-breath, sweaty, spastic, spontaneous dancing for a half hour
before the show even begins.
' " T he^Ellen finally emerges. The
crowd screams and cheers with
what energy they have remaining
as Ellen dances up and down the
aisles. Before we knew it, the audience receives a $100 gift card to
Rite Aid (score!). Then we got to
see Reese Witherspoon talk about
her movie "Water for Elephants,"
Paul Walker discuss something
related to his career (all I recall
is getting an advanced screening
of a cologne commercial he was
starring in) and a young Justin
Bieber wanna be called Jackson
Guthy perform a song that is still
stuck in my head: L-O-V-I-N-G.
Overall, i t was a pretty entertaining group.
i;
Throughout the whole show, Ellen kept teasing us with iPad stories. Every single person thought
we were going to get an iPad by
the end of the show. When Ellen

started thinking about what kind
of gift we would like to have. The
tease seemed endless. Suddenly,
she announced that each audience
member was getting a guaranteed
ticket to one of her Twelve Days
of Giveaways shows in December. The audience exploded with
applause, and my family and I
talked about what would happen at that December taping for
months on end.
As an experienced Ellen show
attendee, I'd like to offer a few
tips to consider during your preshow preparation if you are the
next lucky winner of Ellen tickets. First, don't wear dark colors.
If you must, wear a black sweater
and perhaps a bright scarf with
it. Second, practice your dance
moves, and don't be tempted to
use all your energy during the
audience warm-up. Keep your
movements controlled. Railing
around on TV does not translate well. You may think you are
dancing "cute," but big, unchoreographed moves, can look
alarmingly like a seizure.
I would like for Christmas: I draw

pens and pencils that I also use for

a few pens for outlining and reliable
colored pencils will do. *

Book Review: " A Christmas M emory" by Truman C apote Tales from the Nerd Sid
Geek Gifts: A short g uide to s ome of thef
Capote's classic story a Christmas treat
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
In the common Christmas-eelebrating household, the traditions
of reciting "The Night Before
Christmas" or reading Dickens'
"A Christmas Carol" often take
place.
Rarely, and sadly, does one hear
about a tradition of reading Truman Capote's heartwarming short
story "A Christmas Memory."
Set in Alabama in the 1930s and
inspired by his childhood, Capote
tells the story of a Christmas he
shared with his friend, Miss Sook,
an aging woman in her sixties.
Capote's portrayal of his seven year-old self called Buddy is
sweet, but the real charm is in
his relationship with Miss Sook,
whom he refers to as "my friend."
Despite her age, Miss Sook is
very much a child herself.
Together, they touch the lives
of those around them, including a
Mr. Haha Jones (ironically nicknamed this because of his serious
disposition). The reader cannot
help but feel touched, as well.
In the Modern Library edition of "A Christmas Memory,"
you will also find the short stories "One Christmas" and "The
Thanksgiving Visitor" which also
feature Capote's Buddy and Miss
Sook.
"One Christmas" tells of a trip
Buddy takes to stay with his father in New Orleans for the holiday and "The Thanksgiving Visitor" tells of Buddy's school bully
nemesis being invited to Thanksgiving dinner.
While his stories possess a
I
nerdiest gifts for the holidays
child-like charm, Capote counters
this with a very dark and personal
tone which lies below the surface
of the text. In a tragic life and upbringing specifically, we can be
grateful that Capote had someone like Miss Sook to impart her
love and wisdom upon him, a gift
that will surely resonate with the
reader.

For the nerdy bachelor, why not purchase a n a wesome new W ampa skin rug?
All the w ay from the i cy p lanet of Hoth, the

It is now that time of the year; hot chocolate in front of warming fireplaces, Christmas
lights brightening up neighborhoods and my personal favorite: Christmas music. There
is something special about grocery aisles blasting yuletide hits we^all grew up with, This
issue's playlist is dedicated to Christmas music that warms our hearts as we prepare for
this holiday season.
You can't start the holiday season off without listening to "I Want a Hippopotamus for
Christmas" by the amazing Gayla Peevey. This song is both catchy and cute and was
the primary reason I asked for a hippopotamusior Christinas every year.

^^^
O ne of the toughest parts of the holiday season is finding just
the right gift for that s pecial'someone in our lives. Sometimes, the
best gift is the o ne that is absolutely i mpractical a nd serves no
real purpose other t han to b ecome a new addition in a nerdy
collection of toys a nd g adgets.
There a re a few e asy things to k eep in mind w hen c hoosing
a g ood g eek gift. First off, g eeks love gifts from their favorite licensed v ideo g ame, TV, film a nd c omic series. Next, g eeks enjoy
t echnical toys (robots, mechanisms, e tc.). Finally, g eeks like weird
things that you c an't find a t a ny old d epartment store.
This holiday season, p ick up something a bit more u nconventional rather than the standard v ideo g ame or D VD b ox set.
Here's a few examples to help g et those motors running.
One of the best parts of Christmas decorations is realizing you are standingrightunder
mistletoe with someone you care about. This brings me to the next song, "Mistletoe" by
Justin Bieber. Not only is his voice sweet, but so is his heart. All proceeds from his Christmas album, "Under the Mistletoe11 wenfto charity.
Speaking of sweet voices, Michael Bubie's version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from his new holiday album, "Christmas," is a must listen to. His jazz style and velvet voice will make you want to cuddle near afireplacewith your special "someone."
Speaking of cuddling, Glee's version of "Baby, it's Cold Outside," a duet between
characters Blaine and Kurt is a romantic song that musically captivates us to continue
listening as we anticipate the character's future relationship.
Another traditional song remake from Glee's second volume Christmas album is "Little
Drummer Boy" sung by Artie? a character with a rough, but angelic voice for this year's
1 : C h r i s t m a s episode.
One of my favorite Christmas songs is "Believe" by Josh Groban from: "The Polar Express" soundtrack. Groban's amazing voice beautifully captures the Christmas spirit as
he reminds uS to believe in the magic that surrounds us every day. v:
In conclusion to this holiday playlist is none other than "Santa, Baby" originally recorded
by Eartha Kitt, a provocative holidayJaVorite.

remains on course to win
R ecycleMania for sixth y ear in a row
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos is currently set to win its sixth title in
as many years in the international
recycling competition RecycleMania.
CSUSM leads this year's competition, which finishes on March
27, since week one, according
to Carl Hanson, an Administrative Analyst at CSUSM. "We're
doing well/' said Hanson, coordinator for the recycling campaign.
"We started out in the lead and
the lead has shrunk a little bit but
were still up by good seven, seven
and a half points, and we're hopeful that we'll continue to do well
enough to come in ahead."

The results of the competition
are announced in mid-April, once
all the participants have sent in
their data, according to recyclemania.org.
Universities and colleges compete against each other over a
10-week period to see which
has the best recycling program.
RecycleMania ranks participants
according to which category they
entef. These categories include
most recyclables per capita, the
highest amount of recyclables, the
least amount of trash per capita,
Image courtesy of CSUSM.edu and who has achieved the highest
recycling rate. For more information about the event go to www.
recyclemania.org.
CSUSM enters the highest recycle rate category and holds the title
of Grand Champion for the past
five years in a row.
Hanson said the reason he feels
the campus has done so well over
the years is down to good planning. "First of all, when this university was established, we began
the recycling program at the same
time. So when everybody got their
trash containers they got blue
ones. So from the very beginning
in the offices and the classrooms
everybody saw that you can recycle and it was just a given.
"It was like putting your seatbelt on. You just do it," Hanson
saidv
Recycle bins are located all over
the campus and are placed next to
trash containers. They are color
coded and labeled to avoid confusion between the twoT
Support has also been an

ASI makes safety a priority for Spring Break fun
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
Arts & Entertainment
3 D Experience
On Thursday, March 18 during
U-Hour, ASI held an event to promote the concept that students
can have fun during spring break
while still keeping their safety in
mind. Booths supplied information about alcohol consumption,
sexual protection, transportation,
and activities associated with
spring break.
At the event the mock-tails of
Screwdrivers, and Shirley Temples, gave the students not only
a refreshment to enjoy with their
Chick-Fil-A but informative facts
about alcohol's effects on the
body. Students who pledged not
to drink and drive during spring
break received free chicken sandwiches. Those who pledged also
wore a bracelet, showing other
students through out the day that
they had made the pledge.
When student Stevie Perez was
asked about the pledge he made,
he said, "It's a great reminder. I
will keep the pledge bracelet on to
remind me not to drink and drive,
and to remember to not let my
own friends drink and drive."
At the mock-tail booth, volunteers supplied pamphlets on
alcohol poisoning, and information about designated drivers. The
booth also promoted the RADD
program, where designated drivers supplying the pledge card with
the RADD logo would receive
free non-alcoholic beverages at
the 23 participating bars in the
Pacific Beach and Mission Beach
area.
If students are staying local,
the event promoted the Breeze
Sprinter as a transportation alternative to driving. The Sprinter can
transport drinking students safely
to the popular areas by the beach,
Carlsbad, and Oceanside. Unfortunately, the Sprinter's last pick
up from Oceanside is an early

Chatroulette will replace
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
I have a strong feeling Chatroulette will
be the next big social
networking
website. The site, found
at
chatroulette.com,
incorporates one-onone instant messaging and video chat in a new way
that could re-revolutionize online
interaction.
Chatroulette, which launched
in late 2009, is now generating
high traffic in the US and around
the world, according to the tracking company Alexa. I think part
of this newfound interest can be
attributed to the press it received
about the some users exploit the
video feature for sexual purposes.
The website could easily launch
itself among the ranks of Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace by
changing its anonymous, instant
action set up t o a site that requires
users to create ,a profile, like the
aforementioned network sites.
This addition of profiles would
have two radical consequences.
First, it would allow users to
stay connected and chat with
friends, similar to Skype or
AIM, but still let them meet new
people, who could be àdded as
friends. This would result in a
personal touch for
users to enjoy.
Second, it would
decrease the amount
of sexual deviants that
lurk the website. Website moderators could
ban and block profiles of users who act
explicitly and expose
themselves on camera.
I have estimated it is roughly
ten percent of users who do
explicit acts to give the website a
bad reputation, and if moderators
eliminated them, Chatroulette
would flourish. Facebook and
Twitter
and Facebook
MySpace have already proven
that people enjoy staying connected with friends using profile
systems.
By also allowing users to connect with strangers, Chatroulette
could be part of the movement
that earned the Internet a nomination for the Noble Peace Prize,
The committee cited the openness of Internet communication
around the world has allowed for
ideas to be shared in a way that
could bring global unity.
Since using Chatroulette, I
have met people f rom Sweden,
Korea, South A frica, and China,
j ust to n ame a few countries.
This experience humanizes
people f rom d ifferent countries,
and it reemphasizes the sentiment that we are not that different, despite what country we live
in.
Lastly, I have a hunch that
Facebook w ill soon have a similar video interaction feature.
Facebook, which managed to
keep Twitter f rom overtaking it
by the changing t he the set up
f or status u pdates, might add a
Chatroulette-clone f eature as
a application. Either way, the
global implications a re exciting.

The competition started in 2001
with just two schools, Ohio University and Miami University, and
it now covers over 600^schools,
including international participants in Canada and Qatar. The
growth of RecycleMania can be
further illustrated since such large
corporations as Coca Cola now
sponsor it.
CSUSM also recycles construction materials like metals,
tiles and wood as well as green
waste and hazardous waste like
lamps. The next step for the
university is to create a composting program to deal with
the food service areas. This
extra work will not affect the
results of the competition, said
Hanson.
Many students at the event
believed that the purpose of the
event, safety while having fun,
was great to have right before
spring break, but some students
thought that the purpose of the
event was not being fully repre-
sented.
Student Akeisa Abercrombie
commented about how influential the event was actually on students. "They are giving awareness, it's not enough, but at least
they're taking the initiative to help
people make smart decisions."
The event may not be enough
to guarantee that every student
will have a safe Spring Break,
but it definitely was presented to
enough students to make a difference.
House of Representatives approves sweeping health care overhaul
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
A year long debate on health
care in America has come to an
end as House Democrats passed
legislation this last weekend
to fundamentally overhaul the
nation's health care system in the
coming decades. President Obama
is expected to sign the legislation
on Tuesday, marking the end
of a drawn out and polarizing
public debate that has divided
Republicans and Democrats
across the country. The overhaul
is expected to provide coverage to
32 million uninsured Americans
by 2019.
The reform legislation is
comprised of two separate bills,
the Health Care and Education
Affordability Reconciliation Act
of 2010 (H.R. 4872) and the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care
Act (H.R. 3950). Both bills passed
with a vote of 219-212, a narrow
victory buoyed by a majority
coalition of House Democrats.
The
House
Republicans
unanimously
opposed
the
legislation, an indicator of a
lasting partisan divide on the
issue that has come to dominate
the debate.
To secure support from
wavering Democrats, advocates of
the legislation were forced to make
some key concessions, abandoning
ambitions for a governmentrun insurance program and
prohibiting the use of federal
funds for abortions. Republicans
unanimously
opposed
the
legislation, indicating the partisan
nature of the health care overhaul
debate.
Under the new legislation,
Insurance
companies
will
no longer be allowed to deny
coverage to individuals based
on pre-existing conditions and
will eventually be barred from
charging higher premiums or
canceling services for these
individuals. The overhaul also
also includes requirements for
workers to insure their employees
and citizens to obtain insurance,
instituting steep fines for failures
to comply.
LastThursdaytheCongressional
Budget Office (CBO) placed
the cost of the overhaul at $940
billion in the first ten years, with
a $138 billion reduction in
the deficit during that
time. The CBO
also projected
a
potential
reduction of the
deficit by as much as one
half percent of the GDP in
the subsequent decade.

commented on the passage of
the reforms, saying, "Congress
finally declared that America's
workers, America's families,
and America's small businesses
deserve the security of knowing
that here in this country, neither

expressed his frustration with
the bill just before it went

unemployment,
with our desperate

Foolproof foundations for easier packing a nd travel
BY AMY SALISBURY
Editor-in-Chief
Luggage can make or break a trip.
Most major airlines charge a fee to
check only one bag. Public transportation is a potential nightmare when
you're lugging 50 extra pounds of
stuff around with you. "Backpackfag" is redefined when your pack is
too big to carry on your back. With
some planning and paring down,
your pack and mood will improve.
The first failure of persistent
over-packers is that they do not plan
ahead. Making lists isn't just for
the obsessive compulsive anymore.
Lists help you prioritize what items
__
you need verses what items
are most
used.
Student Katie Freligh combats
common problems when she packs
her bags.
"I always want to pack too much,"
Frelighsaid, "because I never know
what to packjust to cover the basics."
Think about the type of trip you're
planning and pack for it. For example, most hotels have blow dryers,
saving you the extra five pounds of
weight a blow dryer would add. Opt
for versatile casual shoes or sneakers
instead of shoes for every occasion.
Do you need that giant North Face
coat? Pack your warmest sweatshirt
and sacrifice some shivers.
Remember to consider whether
you will have access to laundry
services or Laundromats. Besides
remembering to pack plenty of quarters, think about the number of each
item you should bring. Instead of
three jeans and two shorts, pack one
pair of each, and alternate your items
until you get a chance to wash your
clothes.
Senior Shannon Brogan suggested
an alternative to the traditional trifold for clothes.
"Roll your shirts and pants, and sit
on [the bag] if you have to," she said,
"I'm pretty good;at getting everything in a carry-on."
The kind of bag you use is as
important as what goes in it Doug
Dyment, "The Go Light Guru,"
offers three aspects to take into
account when choosing luggage:
quality, transportability, and airline
carry-on limits.
Dyment said, "you want a bag
that's no laiger than carry-on
size with soft sides and sturdy construction.
"Soft-sided luggage is much to be
preferred over the hard^shelled variety. Hard bags are heavier and do
not cope with therigorsof extended
travel nearly as well as their more
yielding counterparts."
If you are flying and decide to
carry on, remember to check your
airline's prohibited list Adhering to
the rules will ensure a quicker checkin and help avoid being forced to
throw anything out because it violates the Transportation Security
Administration's rules.
Buyiiig travel-size shampoos or
lotions will also lighten up the weight
ofyour luggage.
The TSA allows most items they
deem hazardous in checked bags.
Their website, tsa.gov, offers a downloadable PDF for quick reference.
For the truly impaired, Mats Henricson created the Universal Packing List, an interactive, user-friendly
list customizable to the individual's
travel needs. Find the UPL at http'J/

The constant concern over
traveling abroad for students
becomes a growing worry as
spring break gets closer and students brainstorm great travel
plans.
Nearest to CSUSM, Mexico is
a popular travel destination with
cheaper hotel costs than other
vacation spots and is known
for a high tolerance of underage drinking, great beaches and
fun activities. Although a spring
break get-a-away to Mexico
sounds like the perfect adventure, this popular student vacation spot is also known for dangerous drug activity and caution
must be taken when traveling
aboard.
The U.S State Department,
Bureau of Consular Affairs
have issued a recent travel alert
expressing that a number of
locations along the U.S Mexico
border are experiencing rapid
growth in the rates of robberies,
homicides, carjackings and petty
of our local theme parks. Students
can head to SeaWorld or the Wild
Animal Park for a day of fun with
friends.

thefts, notably in Tijuana and
northern Baja California within
the last year.
"Mexican drug cartels are
engaged in violent conflict, both
among themselves and with
Mexican security services, for
control of narcotics trafficking
routes along the U.S.-Mexico
border. To combat violence,
the government of Mexico
has deployed military troops
throughout the country. U.S.
citizens should cooperate fully
with official checkpoints when
traveling on Mexican highways,1" said the travel alert.
"Common-sense precautions
such as visiting only legitimate business and tourist areas
during daylight hours, and avoiding areas where prostitution and
drug dealing might occur, can
help ensure that travel to Mexico
is safe and enjoyable," continued
the advisory.
More safety tips for traveling
include always taking the main
roads and traveling during the
daylight hours, travel in a group,
do not travel alone, and never dis-
play expensive watches, purses or
even jewelry as these items can
viewed as easy targets for crimes.
Another precaution when traveling is to check with your cellular provider for international
cell phone reception and service.
Many carriers offer this service
for a limited amount of days, not
a long-term contract, and for a
sensible price. For convenience
and safety, a cell phone can be
used in case of an emergency.
U.S citizens can contact the nearest U.S consulates or the U.S
Embassy in case of any trouble.
Contact numbers are listed on the

Baseball
wins
double-header,
completes three game-sweep of C SULA
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Strong, timely hitting and
resilient pitching were keys for
Cougar baseball on Saturday,
as the squad took both ends of a
double-header at Cai State Los
Angeles, 10-8 in game one and
9-4 in game two.
CSUSM completes the threegame road sweep of the Golden
Eagles, members of NCAA Division II and the CCAA Conference. The Cougars improve to
17-7 this season, while CSULA
drops to 12-13.
In game one, the Cougars got
down early, battled back to take
a commanding lead, then held
on for dear life at thè end. Starting pitcher Travis McCracken
gave another strong effort, allowing four runs in six innings
of work. All those runs were
scored in the third inning, and
McCracken was able to bounce
back and shut out CSULA for
the rest of his outing. The win
improves him to 5-1 this season.
A Matt Jenkins solo home run
put CSUSM up 1-0, but the team
found itself down 4-1 after CSULA's big third inning. The Cou-
gars would cut into that lead in
the fourth and fifth innings, with
Mike Pena driving in Josh Miller
in the former, and Miller driving
in Kevin Silvett in the latter.
CSUSM's patience at the
plate played a huge role in the
win. The Cougars drew 11 walks
in the contest, and they played
a key role in a six-run sixth
inning that ultimately decided
the game. Pena and Omar Manzanarez led off the frame by
drawing walks, and Ricardo
Moran drove in the inning's first
run with a base hit. Secciani, Silvett, and Miller all walked, pushing home two more runs, and a
Ryle Parks base hit brought two
more runs home. Finally, Pena
earned his second walk to extend
the inning, and an error pushed
the Cougar lead to 9-4.
CSUSM stayed patient in the
seventh, as Moran, Secciani,
Silvett, and Miller were walked
in order to lead of the inning,
making it 10-4.
The Cougars got a taste of
their own medicine in the eighth;
however, as the bullpen walked
three men to start the inning and
CSULA took advantage, scoring
four runs to cut it to 10-8. But
closer Spencer Pardon was able
to work out of it, getting all three
outs in the eighth and working a
relatively easy ninth to pick up
the save.
Game two would play out
much the same way, minus the
late comeback attempt by the
Golden Eagles.
Starting pitcher Johnny Holtman earned his first win of the
year, striking out two and walking none in four innings of
work. He gave up four runs in the
third inning, but like McCracken,
was flawless in the rest of his
work.
Silvett got things started for
CSUSM in the first, belting a solo
home run to, but once again the
Cougar offense didn't really kick
in until they were down 4-1.
In the top of the fourth, Johnny
Omahen singled in Mitch Ferguson to make it 4-2, and the
Cougars would go on to take
their first lead the following
inning. Moran led off the fifth
with a single, and with two outs,
Miller reached on an error, and
Parks made the defense pay with
a huge three-run home run to put
his team up 5-4.
After reliever Ricky Chavarria worked a 1-2-3 bottom
of the inning, Miller. doubled
home Secciani to put CSUSM
up 6-4. CSULA threatened in
the bottom of the sixth, putting
two on with no outs, but Julienne
entered the game and put out
the fire, inducing a double-play
and fly out to get out of the jam
unscathed.
In the top of the seventh and
final inning, the Cougar offense
put it out of reach. Ferguson and
Omahen led off with singles, and
after a failed sacrifice bunt, Manzanarez drew a walk to load the
bases for Moran. Moran would
put the cherry on top of what has
been a brilliant series at the plate
for virtually the entire Cougar
lineup, ripping a triple down the
right field line to clear the bases.
Julienne struck out the side in
the seventh to earn his first save
of the season, secure the 9-4 win,
and finish off the huge sweep.
The Cougars are off to a great
start to their tour of the CCAA
conference, but things won't get
easier at #2 UC San Diego on the
road on Monday at 2:00 PM.

Cougar Softball cruises to So-Cal sweep
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Brenna Sandberg's 19 strikeouts highlighted a pair of dominating wins for #20 Cougar softball at the Sun West Tournament
on Thursday. CSUSM defeated
Kenyon College 11-0, then the U.
of Puget Sound 10-1.
The wins push CSUSM's
win streak to 8 games, and
improve the team to 16-6 this
season. Sandberg improves to
15-3 this season.
Against Kenyon, the Cougar
offense powered the team to
three runs in the first, one in
the second, two in the third, and
finallyfivein the fifth to close the
game out via the mercy rule.
Shanti Poston led all batters with
three hits, and teammates Elizabeth Bush, Alicia Ingram, Alyssa
Dronenburg, and Erica Coelho all
tallied a pair of hits. Coelho and
Lauren Nelson drove in two runs
each in what was a very balanced
effort at the plate.
On the mound, Sandberg
cruised to the victory, tossing
four innings of three-hit, zerowalk shutout ball. She struck out
five hitters before Ciera Ashman
came in to close out the game.
It was much of the same in the
second half of the double-header,
as CSUSM jumped out to a 6-0
lead in the second and never
looked back. Ingram, the speedster, and power-hitting Dronenburg led the way, with the former
going 4-for-4 with J runs and 2
RBI, and the latter going 3-for-5
with her ninth home run of the
season and 5 RBI.
Sandberg survived a seasonhigh 7 walks by striking out a
season-high 14 in six innings of
work. She allowed just three hits
and one run before giving way to
Chanel Rose, who threw a perfect
seventh to cap the victory.
CSUSM will continue play at
the Sun West Tournament on Saturday when they face St. Mary's
and host school Chapman.

ast Wednesday, Nov.
10, the California State
J —^University Board df
Trustees approved a two-step
tuition increase for the Cal State
system. According to a press release by csu.edu, the increase
will sustain enrollment, classes,
and services for current students.
The first tuition increase will
go into effect on Jan. 1, 2011 as
a five percent addition of $105.
A 10 percent increase, $444,
will become effective for fall
2011, according to the CSU.
The addition to already inflated tuition and student fees
have many students wondering
where their money goes. " I'd
want to see more improvements
made to c ampus" said Rachel
Hernandez, a senior majoring
in Kinesiology. "It's rough for
students paying out of their own
pockets, but as tuition increases,
financial aid increases, too."
Students who have been in the
CSU system for several years,
like Monica Rodriguez, a M.A.
student in Literature and Writing, who also received her B.A.
from CSUSM, have experienced the brunt of many fee increases in the last few years. "I
feel angry considering the CSU
system started out free, and its
purpose was to bring higher education to people who couldn't
afford college," Rodriguez said.
Dr. Don Barrett, associate
professor of Sociology, is the
president of the CSUSM chapter
of the California Faculty Association. The Pride approached him
for a comment regarding the CSU
fee increases, and he prepared a
statement on behalf of the CFA.
"In general, CFA has opposed
the fee increases for many of the
same reasons that various student
groups oppose thè fee increases.
We are concerned about the increased debt faced by many students for attending college, the
very high likelihood that higher
fees will discourage some students from getting -the education
that would benefit them, and that
fee increases will further reduce
access to education for students
from social groups that have his- •
torically been under-represented
in education. While the CSU system has been very good at reserving a portion of the fee increases
to address exactly these sorts of
concerns, the fee increases do
become a hard fact of life for a
large portion of students. Given
the current state of the economy,
this is not a good time to be
saddling students with significantly higher educational debt.
"On a broader level, we are
concerned that the fee increases
reflect the state legislature's continued inability to find a way to
adequately support higher education. It is this broader concern
that motivates much of CFA's
legislative actions, including our
efforts to encourage students to
contact their legislatures about
education costs. A related question that comes up with such
fee increases is whether the
CSU administration might, itself, find other means to save
money (e.g., reducing administrative costs) that would reduce
CSUSM TUITION TIMELINE
2006-2007
$1260
2007-2008
$1386
2008-2009
$1524
the size of the increases needed.
Along these same lines, CFA has
regularly supported a bill to increase transparency in accounting for the funding of university auxiliaries, but the governor
has now twice vetoed that bill.
"Whether the fee increases
are going to come down to the
individual campuses and result
in an increased number of [class]
sections is something that the administration will decide. Logically, however, it is important
to note that the fee increases do
not necessarily mean an increase
in overall budget for the CSU.
Though the legislature, this year,
returned some of CSU's budget
to levels that were higher than
last year, the state has a new budget crisis as of [last] week. If this
new crisis results in less money
from the state for the CSU than
was promised, then the fee increase is going to have to make
up for some of that deficit. Clearly, the answer to keep us from
having additional needs for fee
increases in the future is political pressure on the legislature."

few technical difficulties started
before the event could proceed.
The
contestants
were
judged
on
three
rounds.
Round one consisted of introducing the contestants and their
Alpha Chi coaches. Enrique Iglesias's song " I Like I t" played during Mr. Italy's (Brandon Barnes)
intro. Some of the .highlights of
the introduction round were Mr.
U.S.A's (Garrett Yack) introduction with Miley Cyrus's "Party in
the U.S.A.," Mr. Ireland's (Nick
Bowser) j ig and Mr. A frica's
(Ashton Harvey) backdrop photo.
During round two of the
competition, the contestants presented themselves in their best
"formal wear." Alpha Chi emcees asked the participants numerous questions and the boys
were graded on their responses.
Cameron Mclaws (Mr. Scotland)
was asked what he would do if
he won the lottery. He answered,
" I would give most of the money to my parents, since they are
great supporters of mine and
travel with the rest." Justin Mon-
tes (Mr. Jamaica) was asked to
use three adjectives to describe
himself to which he responded,
"Short, dark and handsome."
Mr. Australia (Ken Lalonde)
presented himself in his military attire and responded to the
question, "What is the biggest
goal you have accomplished?"
Round three displayed each
person's talent. The contestants
proved to be stiff competition
to each other. Each talent was
a mixture of funny and sweet.
Many of the talents consisted
of dancing and singing. Daniel
Mason (Mr. Iceland) replicated
Napoleon Dynamite's "Vote f or
Pedro" dance, Yack danced to
Vanilla I ce's, "Ice Ice Baby,"
Harvey brought back 90s memories with C isqo's, "Thong Song"
and Paolo Leveratto (Mr. Mexico) sang along with Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have
Fun." Brian Buttacavoli (Mr.
Brazil) presented a self-penned
song and piano composition to
the Alpha Chi girls. Buttacovoli
dedicated the song to his mom.
While the judges deliber-
ated on the winner, the Alpha
Chi women raffled away gift
baskets including a CSUSM
g ift basket, San Diego Chargers
and Padres g ift baskets and a
holiday g ift basket donated by
the sorority Alpha Xi Delta.
Leveratto
(Mr.
Mexico)
placed as contestant with most
supporters. Harvey (Mr. Africa) came in third place, while
Bowser (Mr. Ireland) placed second. The big winner of the night
ended u p being the contestant
who "joined a week before the
competition," Brian Buttacavoli
(Mr. Brazil). Mr. Alpha Chi 2009
crowned Buttacavoli "Mr. Alpha
Chi 2010." Buttacavoli said it
felt "Absolutely, phenomenally
amazing" to be crowned Mr.
Alpha Chi 2010. He hopes to be
"the best representation f or Alpha Chi Omega that he can be."

I c an't speak f or the community at large, but I , f or one, am
sick and tired of commercials.
But I o ften find myself in a bit
of a pickle. While I may hold
a deep-seated hatred f or commercials, I have an even more
p owerful love of television.
For instance, take The Office.
I have been a loyal f an since its
inception. But I find it hard to j ustify allocating half an hour of my
night to watch a 20-minute show
with 10 minutes of commercials.
So herein lies the dilemma:
H ow can I watch my favorite shows without having to sit
through all the advertisements?
Luckily, we all live in a society
f ull of technology that can help us
avoid the over-saturation of commercials in our popular media. I
feel it would be prudent to state at
this point I will only be examining
the legal ways to get around commercials, though I still acknowledge that there are alternative
methods to access these shows
f ree of advertising that are not
strictly legal. You will j ust have
to discover those on your own.
The first method I would highly suggest trying out is a digital
video recorder (DVR), or Tivo
device that is becoming standard
equipment included in cable television packages. Not only does
this f ree up time, but gives you
complete freedom over when you
view the show. But do not underestimate the power of your Tivo!

¡PHONE APPS FOR BUSY STUDENTS
TAKING A LOOK AT FIVE O F THE MOST USEFUL APPS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
BY CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
P RIDE STAFF WRITER
As the iPhone's popularity
continues to grow, so does the
need f or apps that serve a wider
variety of users. With a wealth of
apps and f unctions, the iPhone's
r ole in the student l ife has become an extension of the laptop f or some and a mere device
to text friends f or others. While
making the most of the device's
social capabilities is important,
the iPhone o ffers so many apps
that the most u seful ones f or
students o ften get overlooked.
The price of these apps ranges
f rom f ree to a round$10. Although
most professors w on't allow the
use of phones in class, these apps
can be u seful outside the classroom to further enhance a student's learning habits or change
and email a text document when
a laptop has been left at home.
H ere's a list of the most useful apps f or students on campus.
Evernote- Find yourself needing an easier way to organize,
short memos? Evernote is a
popular app that allows the user
to make a quick text note, attach a web page, record a voice
memo, take a photo, or take a
screenshot. The app gives you the
ability to add a tag to the note,
making the selection easy to find
when searched for. Price: Free
JotNot Scanner Pro- The
dream of scanning papers and
keeping them in your pocket is
now a reality with JotNot. This
app detects the size and lighting of papers to maximize its
visibility f or later viewing. If
you ever wanted to copy a page
out of a library book without
checking it out, JotNot makes
it faster than ever. Price: $0.99
iStudiez Pro- Managing dead-
lines and class schedules can be
a difficult task f or any student.
This app takes charge of the hectic student life and organizes it
into an easy to navigate calendar
and planner. From labs to study
groups, iStudiez Pro keeps your
assignments and school schedule neat and tidy. Price: $2.99
AirSharing- One of the biggest
concerns on presentation day is
losing the tiny USB device carrying all your information. AirSharing fixes that by turning your
iPhone into a document storage
device, allowing you to take your
files where ever you go without
the need f or keeping track of another USB drive. Price: $2.99
Quickoffice Connect Mobile
Suite- Although i t's the most
expensive on the list, Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite is
one of the most u seful apps f or
students. Forget about lugging
around the laptop, this app gives
you the option of opening, creating, and making revisions to Microsoft Office documents using a
number of file extensions. Once
y ou're finished, y ou're given
the option of sending the document out as an email. Price: $9.99

Annual event on campus to help students quit smoking
BY SUZANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Student Health and Counseling Services is hosting an event
on campus at Kellog Library Plaza on Thursday, Nov. 18, from 11
a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to celebrate the
American Cancer Society's 35th
Annual Great American Smokeout. The Smokeout is a nationwide
event for smokers that aims to inform and encourage people to stop
smoking and live a healthier life.
There are many Great American Smokeout events held
throughout California. CSUSM is
one of many Californian universities to host an event and CSUSM
is also one of many smoke-free
universities, where smoking
is limited to designated areas.
With more than 12 million
deaths since 1974 and an estimated 400,000 deaths a year, tobacco use is the largest preventable
cause of death in the country. According to The American Cancer
Society, 30 percent of all cancer
deaths are related to smoking.
Their statistics also claim that
3,400 nonsmokers die each year
f rom being exposed to smoke,
known as secondhand smoking.
The Great American Smokeout became a nationwide event
in 1977 and has since brought
forward many tobacco related issues and helped start a revolution
against tobacco and smoking. The
annual event started in 1971 when
Arthur P. Mullaney suggested
people stop smoking for one day
and give the money they would
have spent on cigarettes to a high
school fund. The second event f uelling the development of today's
Great American Smokeout was in
1974 when Lynn R. Smith started
the first "Don't Smoke Day" in
Minnesota. Today, smoking is
banned in many public places,
and there is raised awareness of
how harmful smoking can be.
Anti-tobacco
organizations
and individuals have helped the
fight against tobacco use in many
ways. One of the latest big changes in the market is the Family
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco
Control Act, which was signed
into law in 2009. That gave the
FDA regulatory control over
the tobacco industry's marketing practices, in hopes of keeping tobacco related products and
commercials away from children.
To participate in the event on
campus, all you need is a commitment to quit or to give up
smoking for a day. If you are a
nonsmoker, you can sign up to
be a grassroots advocate and help
create a smoke-free environment
and smoke-free communities.
Gabriel Pena, a student at
CSUSM, said of the Smokeout,
"I have never heard of the event
before, but I think it sounds
cool that they help people quit
smoking. It is so bad for you."
If you are ready for the challenge to put out your last cigarette, the American Cancer
Society has self-help guides
and support for those wanting to quit on their website.
If you are not there yet and not
totally ready, the event supports
smokers to at least think about
the consequences and try to not
smoke for the day the event is held.

�THE PRIDE'S GLIDE TO FOOTBALL
FOR THOSE WHO JUST DON'T KNOW
PHOTO COURTESY OF PHOTOBLOG.STATESMAN.COM
BY TORIA BODDEN
FEATURES EDITOR
Here at C SUSM, we have no
football team. Y ou've probably
noticed. T here's no doubt that we
have some great sports teams dedicated soccer players, neversay-"die" track and field people,
even a champion surf team. We
j ust d on't happen to have an organized football department.
But woe unto you if you think
that means there's no football on
campus. The yearly CSUSM Intramural Football Championships
j ust barely came to a conclusion. There was m ud. There was
glory. At, least a couple people
got kicked in the shins. All in
all, that's a great sporting event.
But what about football f or
people who are n ot, shall we
say, football-inclined? I admit,
when I watch the commentators on TV do all those " X"s and
" 0"s to explain strategy, it looks
to me like Salvador Dali playing
tic-tac-toe. How do you follow
the game when all you see are
people running back and forth
and occasionally hitting each
other? Good news. What follows
is a guide to football f or people
who d on't understand fdbtball.
Teams are on a field. I 'll save
you the in-depth description of
this since I 'm sure y ou've seen
one in person or in the movies.
The field is divided into five-yard
sections by lines. Those big numbers you see indicate how close
said line is to the goal post on
each end. On one side, we have
the o ffense. You can tell who
they are because one of them has
the ball. The guy who throws the
ball is the quarterback. The football position naming folks were
big fans of the word "back":
quarterbacks, halfbacks, fullbacks, etc. In f act, it would appear t hey're big fans of fractions
as well. Anyway, let's not get
too caught up in the names. The
main point: a center throws the
ball between his legs backwards
to the quarterback. I 'm not making this up. The quarterback then
throws the ball to a halfback or a
wide receiver. Maybe some other
players, too. Honestly, it could
be anybody. I c an't really tell,
and I 'm writing f rom personal
observation and Google. Hopefully, the "somebody" is on the
quarterback's team. If h e's not,
i t's called an interception, meaning someone f rom the other side
intercepted the ball. You can tell
when an interception happens, because there will usually be a lot of
angry people on and off the field,
and the coach of the offense team
will appear to be cussing. He may
appear to be cussing quite a i nt.

À
Opposite the offense, you have
the defense. You can tell when
t hey're playing because usually
two members of the crowd will
hold up a letter " D" and a cardboard f ence. I 'm not making
this u p, either. Also, the defense
is easy to spot since they d on't
have the ball, and they d on't look
too happy about it. Everyone on this side is trying
to stop the offense f rom
moving the ball towards
the defense's goal post.
One could even say t hey're
defending it, har har har.
This can involve several
types of shenanigans, including knocking over the
guy who catches the ball,
knocking over the guy who
throws the ball, and trying
to keep guys f rom catching the ball by entrapping
them in bear hugs. Football
seems to me a pretty loving sport, all in all, with
the amount of hugging.
So what's the point?
mm
With the hugging and
knocking down, or "tack-
1
wmEBBm
ling" f or terminology f undamentalists, and running around?
Players are trying to score. Which
could be said of any sleazy club
on a Saturday night, but in this
case, the offense is trying to run
with the ball to the end of the field
the defense is trying to protect.
When thev reach this end, thev
have made a touchdown. They
will then throw the ball down,
which seems kind of rude since
some poor schmuck will have to
pick it u p, and then they dance
around. I think the game could be
spiced up by randomly dancing
on other parts of the field, but so
far, no team has taken my suggestion. A fter the touchdown, they
can score another few points by
either running the ball through the
touchdown area again, or kicking it through the goal post (the
thing that looks like a square-ish
Y at the end of the field). I guess
this part is so that the kicker on
the team will have something to
contribute to the scoring system,
instead of feeling unimportant
and developing low self-esteem.
I should probably include a
short note about a complex concept I h aven't mentioned yet. If
you ever find yourself stuck with
a football f an, and you have nothing to talk about, j ust mention special teams. I found myself once
on a date with a gentleman who
loved football. Conversation died
out, so I iust said. "How about
the Chargers' special teams, e h?"
I d idn't have to say a thing f or
the rest of the evening . Jn fact, if
you ever want to please a football
f an in your l ife, just give them a
piece of paper that says " ONE
FREE COUPON FOR LETTING
YOU TALK ABOUT SPECIAL
T EAMS." Depending on the
man or lady, this may even b e
better than an engagement ring.
So t hat's it. Sure, there are tons
of subtle nuances, and there may
be a lot of people who d on't agree
with me about the hugging part.
But this should be enough to help
you follow a game if you suddenly look u p and find yourself in
the middle of a football stadium.

NEW BOYS ON THE BLOCK: CSUSM BRINGS IN CLASSIC SPORT

CSUSM UNVEILS NEW MEN'S LACROSSE TEAM
BY MICHAEL RAWSON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Think basketball and volleyball are the only new sports
on campus? Think again.
The newest team is M en's
Lacrosse, and even though i t's
only a club, it plans to be as competitive as our NAIA-sanctioned
sports. Yes, lacrosse is more
popular on the east coast, but
hey, so are popped collars. Just
d on't try telling club President
Chase Allvord people in North
County d on't care about the sport.
"West coast lacrosse is growing at an incredible rate, and Cal
State San Marcos lacrosse will be
a strong contributor to the quality
of the game at the college level f or
years to come," he said in an email.
M en's Lacrosse joins a diverse
group of already established club
sports on campus, including soccer and surfing. Yes, there is a
soccer team and a soccer club.
Club sports borrow elements
f rom both official sports teams
and intramural sports. Like intra-
murals, they are non-sanctioned
and student-organized. Like sanctioned sports, they hold tryouts,
practice, play games against other
schools, and usually even belong
to an organized league, which f or
the lacrosse club is the Southwestern Lacrosse Conference.
Lacrosse became an official club in September, but according to Allvord, "the wheels
started turning as f ar as getting
everything together back in April.
Tryouts f or the team were
held between Sept 1 4 - 1 8 , and
Allvord said they were wildly
successful. "We had 22 guys
come out. It was great to see the
enthusiasm everyone had f or lacrosse. We are going to have another week of tryouts following
the start of the spring semester.
"There were a lot of guys who
did not know about the team in
September and want to play, so
w e're going to give them the opportunity to play in the spring."
Other clubs in the conference include large schools,
small schools, private schools
and public schools. So far the
schedule includes UC San Diego,
Marymount College, Occidental College, Concordia University, and Cal State Long Beach.
Some schools f rom the conference have had club lacrosse
f or years, but Allvord thinks his
squad is ready. "Everyone on the
team is ready f or the responsibility of representing CSUSM," he
said. "We are committed to playing high-quality lacrosse against
high-quality
competition."

SEIDENGLANZ SENDS CSUSM MEN'S SOCCER INTO A.I.I. SEMIFINALS
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
CSUSM M en's Soccer came
within inches of its 2010 season
coming to an end on Tuesday, but
the resilient Cougars battled b ack,
defeating Thomas University (GA)
3-2 in overtime to advance to the
AJJL
Tournament
Semifinals.
Fifth-seeded
C SUSM
improves to 12-3-2 on the season.
Fourth-seeded
T homas's
season ends with a 9 -6-3 record.
Whether it was the long bus ride
to Arizona or the t eam's general
youth and inexperience, CSUSM
did not come out playing their best
soccer on Tuesday. T he Cougars
conceded a goal in the second minute, getting into an early 1 -0 hole.
CSUSM
would
equalize
about h alfway through the first
half, as Jake Kaiser corner f ound
Erik Mueller, who converted
the opportunity to make it 1 -1.
The Cougars would take their
first lead in the second h alf,
thanks to one of Alex Rodriguez's
trademark throw-ins. H e's created numerous dangerous chances
throughout the season with his long
throw-ins f rom deep in opponents'
territory, and struck again, as his
throw-in was inadvertently headed
into the net by a Thomas player.
That 2-1 score held f or most of
the second h alf, but Thomas equalized with seven minutes l eft to play,
sending the contest into overtime.
A minute and a half into overtime, a Thomas player found himself alone in the box with a near
sure-thing chance to end the Cougars' season. However, he drove
his shot into the bottom of the
crossbar, and it bounced on the
goal line before being cleared o ff.
Finally, CSUSM captain Bradley
Seidenglanz would take matters into
his own hands and end the game. In
the 107th minute, Seidenglanz received the ball on the right side of the
b ox, dribbled across the top of the box,
and drove a left-footed shot past the
very strong Thomas goalkeeper and
into the back of the net, giving Coach
Ron Pulvers' squad the 3-2 win and
advancing them to the semifinals.
"We were not the better team today,
but our guys willed their way to win,"
noted Pulvers following the match.

�HOT OFF THE REEL
A REVIEW OF THE REMARKABLE TRUE STORY TURNED MOVIE " 1 2 7 HOURS"
BY MILA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"127 Hours" is a triumph of
modern filmmaking, effortlessly
displaying the endless pit of talent within director Danny Boyle
and actor James Franco. Telling the remarkably true story
of Aron Ralston, Boyle blends
heartbreaking fantasy with an
excruciatingly painful reality in a
film that has visual and emotional
resonance. Pulsating with energy,
"127 Hours" traps you beneath a
boulder and keeps you there in
the sweetest of agony as you feel
the crushing weight of desperation and the sharp sting of hope.
Danny Boyle ("Trainspot-
ting," "28 Days Later," and Academy Award winning "Slumdog
Millionaire") and Simon Beaufoy adapted Aron Ralston's autobiography, "Between a Rock
and a Hard Place," bringing
Ralston's amazing experience to
the big screen. Ralston was made
a household name when, while
hiking alone in 2003, he found
his arm trapped beneath a large
boulder, forcing him to amputate
his own forearm with a short,
dull blade. "127 Hours" beautifully brings those long excruciating days Ralston spent trapped,
with limited food and water,
to audiences around the world
as the ultimate survival story.
The way Boyle makes use of
the human senses will linger with
you long after the movie has ended, showcasing his unarguable
talent. Danny Boyle is proof that
long-lasting filmmaking, which
will inspire for decades, is possible within the Hollywood bubble. By the time the film ends you
will feel like you survived with
Ralston and that, together, you
both just accomplished something
no one else in the world ever has.
With your chest constricted from
a feeling you have no name for,
Aron Ralston's story will bury
its way into your mind, acting
as a constant reminder of human
potential and the overwhelming
beauty of the world around us.

Kid Cudi- Man on the Moon
II: The Legend of Mr. Rager G.O.O.D./Dream On/Universal
Scott Mescudi a.k.a. "Kid
Cudi" released his second fulllength album, Man on the Moon
II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, last
Tuesday. Kid Cudi's first full
length album, Man on the Moon:
The End of Day, sold over 500,000
copies thus far. With his second
album, Cudi picks up where his
debut album left o ff, this time
dealing with fame's downside,
where Cudi meets his evil alter
ego, Mr. Rager. Whereas The End
of Day was about Cudi's journey to fame, The Legend of Mr.
Rager explores darker schemes
of life. The first single off The
Legend of Mr. Rager is "Erase
Me" featuring Kanye West.
Hellogoodbye- Would It Kill
You?- Rocket Science/Wasted
Summer
Forrest Kline is like a phoenix rose out of its ashes. Kline,
the singer and founder of Hellogoodbye, dealt with numerous
lineup changes and stands as the
remaining original member of the
band. After a lawsuit against their
previous record company, Drive
Thru records, and a few more
lineup changes, Hellogoodbye is
ready to start fresh with their second full-length album, Would It
Kill You? The first single off the
album is titled "Getting Old," but
it does not stay true to its name.
The song is as infectious as the
band's 2006 chart topper "Here
(In Your Arms)" from Hellogoodbye's first full length Zombies!
Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!.
The new album is sure to propel the band to the charts again.

Charlie St. Cloud - (PG-13)
Burr Steers directs an adaptation of Ben Sherwood's novel,
The Death and Life of Charlie St.
Cloud. The title character Charlie St. Cloud (Zac Efron) loves
sailing, baseball and his younger
brother, Sam. Charlie graduates
and has a college career ahead of
him, until he and Sam get into a
fatal car accident. Charlie and
Sam die at the scene, but Charlie
is brought back to life in the am-
bulance. He decides to dedicate
his life to a promise he made to
Sam about teaching Sam how to
play baseball. Throughout five
years of his life, Charlie stays in
a world of solitude, until he meets
Tess (Amanda Crew). In the end,
Charlie must decide between
what could have been and what is.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (PG-13)
Based on the graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim, by Bryan Lee
O'Malley, Scott Pilgrim vs. the
World captures the trials and tribulations of Scott Pilgrim (Michael
Cera). Cera once again plays a
geeky musician (bass player) that
endures relationship troubles.
Pilgrim seems to go through
women, until he meets Ramona
(Mary Elizabeth Winstead). In
order to win a date with Ramona,
Pilgrim must fight her "seven evil
exes." The comedy film borders
on the surreal side, but is cute
and quirky. It is sure to be a cult
classic. The DVD/Blu-ray features an alternate ending option.
