�New website aids educators
and students alike
B Y J O H N F RESCA
What's the key to power? Money?
Fame? Beauty ? No, it's information.
For educators and future pedagogues,
Jim Konugres, a master's program student at CSUSM, has created a new way
to get that kind of power on the "Information Highway." Called the "Administrators World Wide Web Resource
Site," it offers hyperlinks to top-notch
educational homepages.
It can be reached at h ttp://
coyote.csusm.edu/COE/admin~resource/index.html .The page offers 12
categories to browse in: "Reference &
Research Sites," "Online Journals &
Periodicals," Professional Organizations," "Special Education Resources,"
"Technology Resources," "ESL Resources," "Government Resources,"
"Unions & Associations," "Curriculum
& Instruction," "Business Services,"
"Human Resources" and "Legal Resources."
"Don't let the title of my web site fool
you," says Konugres. "It's not just for
educators. It's for anyone who wants to
find excellent resources devoted to educational issues."
Konugres got the idea to develop the
homepage from his project in his Educational Administrative Master's Program. "It seemed like the most appropriate thing to do," he says. "The use of
technology in our society is inescapable.
You can't deny the fact that technology
has become a prominent research and
resource tool in the global 20th century
society."
Knougres gathered the 100-plus links
for the page by receiving input from a
broad range of educational practitioners.
"The practitioners surveyed consisted
of administrators from urban school
districts, rural school districts, school
districts of varying sizes, public and pri-
vate schools, as well as districts with
large, second-language populations," he
adds.
The page, which was recently
hyperlinked on CSUSM's College of
Education Homepage
( http://
www.csusm.edu/COE/), has received
enthusiastic responses.
Assistant Professor Mark Baldwin, a
program co-coordinator who teaches
Educational Administration, says
Konugres has "bookmarked it for future
reference."
Konugres says he hopes visitors to
his page will find it useful. "Because
education is so important, I want
people to have an easily accessible
way to get information on it," he says.
Noting that he welcomes suggestions for improvements, he adds, "It is
as much the visitors' page as it is
mine." He can be reached by e-mail at
konugres@sdcoe.kl2.ca.us.

S tudent " voice" m erely an echo
B Y J ENIFER J AFFE
C SUSM has made a lot of progress
in changing its image from that of a
commuter school to a university since
interim president Alexander Gonzalez
took over the reins.
By next semester, students should be
able to kick back in an "outer" Dome
complete with awning protecting an
e xpanded
c ement
p atio
and
groundbreaking for a track and field
facility paid for mostly by students will
begin this summer. Both will help make
the campus more than a place to simply attend classes.
And this year's graduation activities
have changed as well. Gonzalez directed
the commencement committee to assess the annual event and devise methods for greater student participation,
according to the vice president of Student Affairs, Francine Martinez, who
also chairs the commencement program development committee.
This year's commencement will certainly benefit from the committee's decision to open up the singer's spot to
CSUSM s tudents, as w ell as f rom
Gonzalez's clout, which helped to secure actor Edward James Olmos as the
key speaker, f 1 p. \
* i 1P
But, in its quest to improve the sendoff for the seventh and largest graduating CSUSM class to date, the committee also managed to stifle the students'
most representative voice, that of the
president of Associated Students Inc.
(ASI), Joe Faltaous.
In January, Gonzalez approved the
committee's suggestion to replace the
slot held for the past three years by the
ASI president with that of a student
speaker chosen by a panel made up of
one administrator (Martinez), two faculty members, one alumnus and four
students. Faltaous met with Gonzalez
hoping to dissuade him from approving the s uggestion but t o no avail,
Martinez said. (Faltaous had clashed
with the university during the previous
year on several issues, including the
monopoly he believed Aztec shops held
on campus, and CSUSM blocked his
attempt to hire an outside vendor to
provide a copy service for students.)
The panel judged the prospective
speakers on "delivery, clarity, and organization of content,'' Martinez said,,
and read texts beforehand, not to stifle
students' comments, but to determine
if their words would^apply to all students.''
Faltaous auditioned for the slot but
was not among the two students selected to speak. Instead, he will be allotted two minutes to introduce each
speaker at the individual ceremonies,
Martinez said.
If the committee genuinely wanted to
increase ^udsrit p artieip*^
event, why would it not allow Faltaous
the opportunity to speak as well as the
selected two student speakers?
Tacking a 5 - to 10-minute speech
onto the ceremony hardly^ would make
it too long, considering that at less than
2 hours, it runs considerably shorter
than the commencements at larger universities.
Martinez said Faltaous' actions in
December had nothing to do with the
decision, and that she did not view him
as an "extremist." "We're going to keep
the ASI president in a prominent role,"
she said, adding that Faltaous would
serve as second grand marshal.
But by not allowing the ASI president,
who is elected by students, sufficient
time to deliver a thoughtful message,
the university in effect has sequestered
the voice of the student body, albeit in
a discreet and diplomatic manner.
Perhaps more intolerable is the idea
that administrators and faculty play
such a large role in selecting the student
speaker, existing on a panel that should
be filled only by students.
The committee's notion that any
speech might apply t o all students is
ludicrous, and smells an awful lot like
censorship. Political correctness taken
to the extreme is not politically correct.
The panel should not insist on deeming the speeches relevant for the same
reason it wouldn't edit the speech of
Olmos on May 23.
UCSD officials have beejn under fire
*on campus recently for invitmg House
• Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has vowed
to reference the alleged sexual misconduct of President Clinton in each of his
speeches, to be the keynote speaker. But
they certainly did not insist on an advance copy of Gingrich's speech.
CSUSM officials should take a lesson
from that and not insist on screening
the speeches of its own students.

Faltaous, T erra Beachamp, Adrianne Hallford and Najwa Nasser discuss the f uture
on campus, thus allowing the group to
reach out to students.
Yolanda Barraza, internal vice president-elect, said ASI needed t o create
more representation, for a broader
range of majors, than in the past year.
According to current ASI President
Joe Faltaous, ASI achieved several important goals in the past year, the most
tangible of which was the Jan. 12 opening of the Early Learning Center, which
offers childcare to CSUSM students.
Other achievements he cited were the
boycott of Aztec Shops, extended laboratory and library hours prior to finals
and the establishment of a more professional working relationship between
ASI and the university administration.
Faltaous said the outgoing ASI board
had to be "rebellious" and "activist,"
since the university administration was
not student-friendly at the beginning of
the year.
But, during the year, groundwork
was laid for a more professional relationship in the future, he added.
But some ASI members expressed
skepticism at FaltaoJus, prediction. "The
administration wants you to fix things,
but they don't give you the power," said
ASI Secretary Erik Dawson.
"To them, students are just window
dressing."
According to Alimi, the new ASI
board plans to create a smoother working relationship with the university and
focus itself more towards meeting student needs in the upcoming year.
"We have organizations fighting
when they should be working together,"
he added. "I want to make sure board
members concentrate on students and
not on the organization itself."
ASI Executive Director Darlene Willis
echoed this sentiment. "Our goal is to
empower students," she said.
�Student S ummit provides
valuable insights into
education and politics
BY JOSE CLEMENTE
Last week, ASI President Joe Faltaous
and I attended the California Higher
Education Student Summit in Sacramento.
The third annual meeting was a way
in which students from the California
State University system could get together and d iscuss i ssues t hat are
relavent to students.
It was three days of intense meetings,
but also a time for student leaders to
learn a lot from guest speakers.
The first day, we heard presentations
from our California State Student Association leaders and then went on to
discuss the issue of CETI, the program
that would create a private partnership
between the CSU and companies such
as GE and Fujitsu. Its main goal would
be to have at least 25 percent of classes
taught through the Internet by 2010.
There was a lot of heated debate
about whether students could learn
more, or even the same, from a computer that they could from interaction
with a professor.
After that session, we broke into
workshops that ranged from "How to
Lobby," t o "Media Skills'' t o "Why
Should You Vote No on Prop 227.*Our
keynote speaker of the day was California Secretary of State Bill Jones, who
spoke about the importance of voting
and of an education. He said students
were the "vision of the future" and that
we must align ourselves with that vision to be successful in the next century.
The next day, we started by participating in a discussion of Social Security. We l istened t o s peakers w ho
warned that unless we reform the system, it will go broke and not be there
for us when we retire. All the students
took this very seriously, as this is an issue that will no doubt figure prominently in upcoming elections.
The main event of the day was the
speeches of California gubernatorial
candidates. Although all had been in-
vited, three of the leading contenders
did not attend: Democrats A1 Checci and
Gray D avis and Republican Dan
Lungren. D emocratic Rep. J ane
Harman spoke about the need to f inance education and the need to existing problems of the CSUs, among Qther
topics.
The debate heated up when it was
announced that Harman would not take
questions from students because of a
prior engagement but would take them
from the press, in the media room of the
Sacramento Convention Center. After
c hants of "Power t o t he s tudents,"
Harman finally agreed to take some
questions from students;
She was grilled relentlessly about her
hiring of an illegal immigrant and about
the purpose of her visit. Though many
criticized her as doing the latter only to
push her political agenda, she won others over because of her competence in
handling the situation.
Overall, the CSUSM delegation was
impressed by Harman and the ideas she
brought with her to Sacramento. The
absence of Checci, Davis and Lungren
did not improve their candidacies in the
eyes of students.
The third day gave students a chance
to lobby their state assemblymen and
their senators. The CSUSM delegation
lobbied the politicians on behalf of the
education bond, which is so important
to our school. We also touched subjects
such as Proposition 227, Operation
Gatekeeper and the current CSU budget. All the politicians were receptive to
the delegation.
Overall, the trip proved to be a way in
which student leaders from throughout
the CSU system could discuss issues
that can help out all students.
Next year, the summit will be held at
San Luis Obispo and I would encourage any student who is interested to attend. The experience is invaluable and
the cost is low as Associated Students
Inc. will cover the majority of it.

Sleep deprivation a c ommon malady for many students
B Y L ODIA O RAMAS
As everybody knows, there are only 24
hours in a day, no matter how you try
to stretch it. Particularly when you're
cramming for an exam.
But, as few students may realize,
some experts are now reporting that if
you haven't had a good night's sleep,
it's a lot harder for you to recall what
you studied the previous day.
Sleepy people, according to a recent
report on CNN, are accidents waiting
to happen, particularly behind the
wheel of a car. When you get less than
six hours of sleep a night, the experts
said, you can expect headaches and
mood changes at best.
In addition, reaction times slow
down and concentration is severely
limited.
Some sleep experts interviewed recently on television insisted that from
the body requires nine hours of sleep
a night, not eight, as had been recommended for years.
But, in this age of 24-hour supermarkets, health clubs and drug stores,
it is becoming a sleep-deprived society,
the experts say, making it a dangerous
society.
In an informal survey on campus
five students interviewed said they had
driven while tired at least once recently.
Four of them said they tried to stay
awake by opening their windows or
singing along to the radio.

But, the experts say, neither of these
works. Pulling over and taking a short
nap is the only safe answer, they add.
Students, too, may not be getting the
most results out of late-night cramming and paper-writing, the experts
say.
That, indeed, may be mandatory
from time to time, they add. In those
cases, one way to help make it through
the next day with most faculties intact
is an afternoon power nap.

I felt a touch of sadness as I drove onto campus on Tuesday the 28th and saw the signs
for the blood marrow drive. The weather
was beautiful that day — finally a really
warm day, the semester starting to wind
down — what better a day for having a drive
to give life to others? How could that possibly create sadness?
The sadness sprang from the odd juxtaposition that many were going tofindthemselves forced into that day. The fact that a
noble cause was, yet again, going to remind
some people that a simple fact of their lives
leaves them in an awkward, and frequently
stigmatized, position.
The problem with the bone marrow drive
is relatively simple. Bone marrow drives,
like blood drives, have to be sure that transfers of marrow or blood are not going to result in infection of the recipient with HIV,
the virus that causes AIDS. To insure this,
such drrves juse relatively simplistic biit
cost-effective procedures to screen out
members of social groups where AIDS occurs relatively
frequently.
Though protection or other strategies
may result in no HIV infection for many
members of these groups, anyone who is a
member of the following three groups are
specifically excluded from blood or bone
marrow donation: 1) any male who has been
sexually active with another male, 2) anyone who has ever used a needle to take recreational drugs, and 3) any female who has
had sexual activity with a male who falls into
one of the two previous groups. While no
solid estimates are available, these three
excluded groups could easily represent 1 out
of every 10 people on campus
Thus, for a sizeable number of students,
staff, and faculty, such drives put them in
an awkward and discomforting position,
Signs all over campus suggest 'do the civic
Super Single:
thing, be tested for giving marrow'. And, wellmeaningfriends,professors, and campus staff
personally push them to get tested. What do
people falling into one of the excluded groups
do? It sounds easy to simply say 'no', but how
easy it is to say W in the face of a push for
doing your 'civic duty?
As an openly gay male and a professor, I am
comfortable with the awkward situations that
I faced that day when people asked why I
wasn't wearing one of the stickers indicating
that I had been tested. I simply said "I'm not
allowed to give", and on one occasion used it
as a point for education about public health
and stigma. A student that I know, however,
reported much more discomfort with feeling
excluded simply based on the fact of having
once had a sexual partner who turned out to
have used a needle for taking drugs. Unfortunately, many are left in a position like hers of
either having to 'come out' and possibly educate their friends (and maybe lose some), or
of appearing to be not mindful of their civicduties.
Possibly even more damaging is what happens to the few who walk in with their friends
to be tested, not knowing that their membership in one of the three groups means they
are not allowed to give. What do they go
through when handed the questionnaire and
find that they must leave, without showing
any signs of having given?
The civic responsibility of the bone marrow
drive is a good and noble cause, and I strongly
support the campus for being involved in such
things. But, I also feel that such drives should
be prepared for, and attempt to address, the
likelihood of unintended but emotionally
harmful consequences. Not only would this
ease the situation for members of the groups
mentioned above, but would also be helpful
for those who do not give for other personal,
physical, or religious reasons.

"1916" offers lucid
insight into Ireland's past

N OVELIST & P ROFESSOR O F L ITERATURE AT
Morgan Llywelyn's "1916" (Forge, 447
pages, 24.95) Morgan Llywelyn's eighth
book continues her preoccupation with
Irish history. "1916" is a portrait of the
Irish struggle for independence in the
early years of the twentieth century.
The novel opens with its central character, fifteen-year-old Ned Halloran,
aboard the doomed Titanic on its way
to America, where Ned and his parents
plan to attend the wedding of Ned's
older sister. The parents go down with
the ship, but Ned survives and goes
back to Ireland, a boy who now knows
that existence has "treacherous and
shifty borders."
In Dublin, Ned comes under the influence of the Irish poet and destined martyr Padraic Pearse, who was the Commander-in-Chief of the Irish Provisional Government during the Easter
Rebellion of April 24, 1916, when the
Irish nationalists, calling for severance
of all ties with Great Britain, fought a
doomed but gallant battle against their
far-stronger, foes.
Llywelyn keeps Ned close to the action
in the same way that Herman Wouk
used Pug Henry in "The Winds of War"
and Leo Tolstoy used Prince Andre in
"War and Peace," placing their main
characters alongside men who were instrumental in making history,
Llywelyn drops names that will be familiar to anyone who has followed the
Irish struggle—James Connolly,
Michael Collins, Joseph Plurikett, Thomas MacDonagh, Emmett Smith, and
many others, a virtual who's who of
Irish pugnacity, patriotism and rebellion. The narrative moves slowly, taking Ned through a rite of passage from
1912 to the cataclysmic 1916 Easter Rising battle, which doesn't occur until the
final chapters. The last 2 0 chapters (of
60) contain Llywelyn's best writing and
alone are worth the price of the book.
In the early chapters, Ned becomes part of the gathering storm,
while his sister Kathleen, living in New
York City, is cut off from the action and
becomes a symbol of Irish impotence.
Kathleen is married t o a man s he
doesn't love. She is depicted as an
"unawakened" woman, whose passions
would better serve the Irish struggle
than the role of wife to an overbearing
husband. When Kathleen rebels she is
beaten down (figuratively) and forced
to stay with her conqueror. She eventually falls in love with a priest named
CSUSM
Father Paul. The Kathleen and Father
Paul sections are authentically rendered
by a novelist who understands the demands of the heart and the rationalizations people give in order that they may
possess "forbidden fruit." Father Paul
finds himself losing his "lonely struggle"
for celibacy, while Kathleen continues
a rebellious war against her husband
and against a religious moral code that
insists on sex for procreative purposes
only." These segments parallel Ned's
own conflicted love affairs and his increasing involvement with the rebel
movement in Dublin.
Further in the story, Llywelyn
recounts numerous British atrocities
and the depressing lot of a people struggling for subsistence in a country they
cannot call their own. Llywelyn's historical lessons outlining British outrages from the twelfth-century to the
twentieth create a lingering distaste for
the way the conquerors, in effect, either
slaughtered or enslaved the Irish, believing that only brute force could civilize them.
By the eighteenth-century Irish beggary, homelessness, infant mortality,
malnutrition and death-dealing diseases were epidetoiic, prompting
Jonathan Swift's satirical essay, "A
Modest Proposal," suggesting that Irish
babies were dying in a useless fashion,
and it would sbe much better for the
British to buy them and eat them, "a
delicious, nourishing and wholesome
food" purchased for as little as ten shillings. To be sure, Llywelyn's Ireland is
not as harrowing a place as Swift described, but it is profoundly abused
nonetheless and the Irish plight is rendered effectively enough that most
readers will sympathize with them and
want them to repay the iron-handed,
parasitical Brits in kind. There is no
attempt at understanding the British
point of view, which may be a flaw in
Llywelyn's account. She tells us herself
that life is not a black and white affair,
but rather filled with shades of gray,
"And are there not men oil the other
side . . . is not their version of truth as
real to them?"
"1916" is fighting a war with its need to
plot events as they happened and also
portray compelling figures that can
carry the weight of the history they are
experiencing. Llywelyn's strength as a
writer is not to be found so much in creating complicated, three-dimensional
'
S
human beings as in her ability to follow a course, sewing it seamlessly into
what must have been a daunting array
of historical notes. Occasionally the
existence of her copious research calls
attention to itself as when she insists on
bringing up the nineteenth-century
Irish famine which sent millions of Irish
to early graves and millions more to
American shores. The discussion of this
sad history is given in a dialogue between Ned and another fifteen-year-old
boy and the conversation is a conversation of notes, rather than of teenagers telling each other what they know.
For such a s easoned writer
Llywelyn can be curiously flawed at
times, writing lines that are jarringly
formulaic—"He understood what she
was feeling and opened his arms. She
folded herself into his embrace like a
bird settling into its nest. They stood
holding each other, letting their bodies
do the talking." But she can also write
lines that are immaculate—"The other
Lancers lay dead at the foot of Nelson's
Pillar. High above them the admiral
stood impervious, though his nose was
freshly nicked by a rifle B ullet.... [A
woman] seated herself on the shoulder
of a dead horse and patted it solicitously, then burst into raucous song."
To Llywelyn's credit the latter descriptions are more prevalent than the
former.
She weaves the tapestry of her
story with intelligence and skill and
gives us access to a period when the
bullets flew and patriots gave their lives
for the ideal of freedom, not knowing
thatfromthe ashes of their martyrdom
"the right of the people of Ireland to the
ownership of Ireland" would be acknowledged and an Irish Republic born.

The moment I entered St. Andrews Golf
Grill in San Marcos' Old California Restaurant Row, I felt like I had stepped
onto a golf course, literally. Myfirststep
landed directly on a putting green; that
is, an artificial putting green, complete
with several holes andflags,putters and
balls supplied.
Here, would-be golfers can practice
their putting stroke while waiting for
lunch or dinner. On one side, tables line
a brick patio around the s id§ of the
green for those who just want to watch.
On the other, there's a quaint, naturalwood room that resembles a clubhouse.
I almost looked for a starter instead of
a waiter.
Old golf clubs line the walls, a niblick
(pitching wedge) with a hickory shaft
and a Stenectady putter from 1913,
along with a variety of golf memorabilia.
There are pictures of the legends of the
past to today's legends in the making.
St. Andrews Golf Grill was the concept of owner Jim Ileitis, a former golf
professional and teaching pro. Feltis
adopted the name from the Royal &
Ancient St. Andrews Golf Course in
Scotland, considered the Mecca of the
sport.
Unfortunately, though the atmosphere is birdie quality, the food is a
bogey at best.
The "scratch player" entree consisted
of grilled turkey breast covered with
jack c heese b etween t wo s lices of
toasted wheat bread. It was bland and
was served without lettuce or tomato.
The "Babe Chips" on the side looked
and tasted somewhere between a thin
steak fry and a thick potato chip. I
washed them down with a cold iced tea.
The starter, uh, server, brought me my
check, which totaled $7.91. That wasn't
too bad, but considering the plainness
of the meal, I felt I overpaid. All the
items on the menu have names pertaining to golf. There was the "Caddy Shack"
burger, char-grilled on a wheat bun for
$5.95. On the dinner menu, there was
the "Torrey Pines" primavera, fresh vegetables served on pasta, with a salad and
"Babe Chips" on the side for $9.95.
The appetizers were named after famous g olfers, i ncluding t he "Lee"
(Trevino) c hili-pepper p oppers for
$5.95 and the "Tiger" (Woods) chicken
tenders for $6.95.
A variety of beers are offered on tap,
including Guinness and Sierra Nevada.
Pints are $ 3 during happy hour (4-7
p.m.).
Basically, St. Andrews is a sports bar,
complete with pool table in the back,
several TVs and, of course, a video golf
game. Overall, it's as a fun experience.
But don't go for the food, go for the
green!

ELECTIONS: 15 percent
may be a low voter
turnout, but it's still
higher than many CSU
campuses
B Y R ICHARD M AUSER
Are CSUSM students involved on
campus?
Considering the results of the recent Associated Students Inc. (ASI)
elections, a lot would have to answer
"no."
Only 692 students bothered to vote
in the two-day election April 15-16.
That's about 15 p ercent of t he
university's student population.
But, compared to the other CSU
campuses, where turnout in such
elections averages 8-10 percent, 15
percent may not be all that bad.
But, in the eyes of many on campus, it still leaves room for improvement. "I was pretty proud that we got
15 percent, but I would like to see 4050 percent turnout in the future,"
said ASI Executive Director Darlene
Willis. Added current ASI President
Joe Faltaous: "I think there are several layers of apathy on campus. ASI
can help bring down those layers."
ASI, which will control a $600,000
budget next year, is one of the few
entities on campus that has officers
elected solely by students. In fact, the
students employ the ASI, since $20
out of every student's tuition goes
directly to the organization.
But some students may not realize
that. In fact, there was a dearth of
candidates for the ASI board. Of the
18 seats at stake in the election, only
four were actually contested on the

"Computers are an integral part of

At CSUSM, computers are essential

comes in we test them. We place them,
depending on their test results, at varying levels."
The ESL program gives the students
the academic tools necessary to reach
their scholastic goals in this country,
she said. "Some may need a semester.
Others may need a full year," she added.
The program keeps academics as its
main focus. "We teach students how to
do academic writing, how to do research, how to write research papers
and listening

skills,"
said
Wecksler.
"We
make
sure they
have the
skills
necessary to survive academically here
in the U.S. We teach them how to succeed in an American university."
Three alumni of CSUSM's ESL program will graduate from the university
this spring. "Others who have gone
through the program will be entering
CSUSM as freshman next semester,"
said Wecksler. "We ajso have alumni
who went on to UCSD and Berkeley."
Aside from academic preparation,
ALCI offers short-term programs in
ESL. Among these is a language and
culture program that centers on personal communication. "The program
focuses on speaking and listening," said
Wecksler," straight-forward communication skills r ather t han academic
skills."
At 10 a.m. on May 13,15 ESL students
will receive their certificates from ALCI

Upward Bound students to hold fund-raiser
B Y FREDRIC BALL
r f l h e students in CSUSM's Up
ward Bound Program (UB)
will be heading to Washing
mJLm ton, D.C., this summer and
they want your money. For their fundraisers, that is.
From June 21-30, approximately 25
UB students will be heading to the
Nation's Capital to participate in the '98
"Summer Education College Tour."
The students will be holding a 5 0/
50 raffle and candy sale on campus to
help pay for the trip.
"The students are visiting some of the
country's historical landmarks and colleges," said UB programmer Shelly
Anguiano, "including Howard and
Georgetown Universities, the White
House, the Holocaust Museum and
many others."
During the next several weeks, candy
will be for sale at the UB Office (Craven
5201) along with the raffle tickets. The
raffle prize is half of the money raised
through ticket sales.
"So, if we sell $2,000 in tickets, whoever holds the winning ticket will get
$1,000," said Anguiano.
UB is a college preparation course for
low-income, first-generation college
students in North County.
Students, who are recruited at eighth
grade, gain entry to a number of helpful programs aimed at ensuring academic success.
Some of the offerings include tutorials that are offered at the high school
level and "College Saturdays" where the
high schoolers receive college-type instruction on CSUSM's campus. Students also go on field trips and college
campus tours.
Currently, UB offers services to eight
area high schools. "We follow the students from eight grade to high school,"
says Anguiano, "Once the students become juniors in high school, we help
them apply to colleges, for scholarships
and other financial aid."
To help the UB students raise money
for their trip, or for more information,
call Anguiano at (760) 750-4885.

Diverse hiring: a blessing or a curse?
B Y D E B B I E H ENKE
What some call a commitment to diversity, others see as reverse discrimination.
The current CSUSM administration
is committed to building a diverse faculty. Yet some on campus believe the
methods used by the university to recruit and hire faculty members are unfair and possibly illegal.
Two faculty members, speaking only
oh the condition of anonymity, said too
much time is spent seeking minority
candidates with no interest in teaching
at CSUSM. "This is sensitive, politically
incorrect stuff," said one. "The truth
would ruffle way too many feathers."
One said the university's current hiring process is "an unnecessary bureaucracy, driven by diversity,"
Both said that in many cases salary
demands of prospective hires can seldom be met, and that Searches are
sometimes canceled in violation of
Proposition 209 simply because a candidate may not be an ethnic or racial
minority.
Both said the CSUSM's Department
of Institutional Diversity and Equal Opportunity (IDEO) plays far too heavy a
role in university recruiting.
But Joe Cordero, IDEO director, denied it, adding that state universities are
still able to target minorities for recruitment despite Proposition 209, which
ended affirmative action in state hiring
and education. They cannot, however,
show preference based on race or gender, he stressed.
The name of Cordero's office was
changed from the Department of Affirmative Action after Prop. 209 was approved by state voters.
The IDEO, Cordero said, recruits minorities in three ways: advertising in
educational journals specifically aimed
at minorities; attending academic conferences also specific to minority
groups; and contacting possible candidates directly.
But one of the CSUSM faculty members interviewed characterized the
IDEO's efforts as an "extravagant misallocation of very scarce university resources," and added that placing ads in
journals aimed at minorities is an expense the university cannot afford.
Both said ads in "The Chronicle of
Higher Education," a widely circulated
standard for academia, would reach all
qualified candidates, including minori-
date is not a minority. "Cordero's office
closely monitors the entire process, yet
will cancel a search just before a job offer is made," said one. "This very heavy
hand in the faculty recruiting process
is to assure minority candidates receive
priority consideration ... in direct violation of Proposition 209."
Cordero said his department is not
responsible for canceling a search, only
making recommendations. But, he
added, if his department feels the pool
of candidates is not diverse, and the
person under consideration is mediocre, a search might be ended. "Nobody
wants to hire for the sake of hiring,"
Cordero said. "We agonize over this."
Yet he admitted his office is stricter
with departments who he says "do not
have a good track record" for minority
hiring. One faculty source questioned
whether the IDEO is qualified to decide
if an applicant is mediocre, adding,
"Only the minority candidates are interviewed by Cordero. So how can he
judge if another candidate is mediocre?"
In addition, the two faculty sources
said, not many minority candidates are
available in a number of academic
fields, and those who are available are
in high demand by other universities,
which pay more and hire faster.
ties. Both also said they opposed attending conferences for specific ethnic
or gender groups, because it meant
spending money on travel only to speak
to a small number of candidates. Attending conferences which are held in
every academic discipline, they added,
was a better way to meet all qualified
candidates.
The university also reaches out to
minorities by contacting people listed
in the "Minority & Women Doctoral
Directory," they said. These lists are
given by IDEO to each faculty search
committee.
The problem with this* according to
both faculty members, is that more than
half of the people listed already have
teaching positions and no interest in
coming to CSUSM.
Cordero disagreed, saying every effort
must be made to reach out to minorities "because of the university's commitment to diversity," and added that
the IDEO does not want to hinder a
search team's efforts.
"If a department believes' bureaucratic restrictions are causing delays,
then we need to know and reevaluate
the process," he said.
The two faculty sources insisted that
searches are canceled because a candi-

f rom a variety of motivations and
places," he says. "Some are, or hope to
be, tutors or peer academic advisors.
"Many others come just because they
want to have good people skills and may
pursue a career in the "helping professions.' All students are welcome."
The two-day^eries of seminar workshops is designed to enlarge students'
capabilities in communication skills,
assertiveness, multicultural issues in

"This training raises the compassion

go to the CAPS office (5310 Craven Hall)
or call 750-4910. CAPS asks that students register in advance. "The first

Almost eveiy college student has uttered this phrase at one time or another.
Quite likely, the mere mention of the
word "counselor" sends thoughts of
registration deadlines, course numbers
and frenzied signature-hunts. But access to a counselor is only one venue of
such help available at CSUSM.
Counseling & Psychological Services
(CAPS) offers a variety of services to
students at no cost. It is geared to promote wellness, mental health and academic success in the CSUSM community.
"In general, our goal is to improve the
health of the CSUSM community as
much as possible toward successful student development and growth," says
Dy. Fritz Kreisler, who heads the office.
To accomplish this, CAPS offers individual personal counseling and brief
therapy to assist students with things
like study challenges, problematic relationships and stress.
"Nearly 10 percent of the student
body uses CAPS in this way each year,"
says Kreisler.
Sometimes, counselors find themselves helping students through depression, severe anxiety or p osttraumatic s tress symptoms. "Student

Enrollment:
"These admissions figures demonstrate the troubling impact Proposition
209 has, and will continue to have, on
California's future," said Lt. Governor
Davis. "Clearly, Prop. 209's legacy will
result in fewer African Americans and
Latinos who will be educated to contribute to their communities in a meaningful way."
According to statistics released by officials at both UC Berkeley and UCLA,
the number of Latinos admitted declined by more than 56 percent and 33
percent, respectively.
Similarly the number of African
Americans admitted declined by more
than 64 percent at UC Berkeley and 42
percent at UCLA.
"Proposition 209 is the law of the
land and tile UC system must abide by
the voters' decision in 1996," added
Davis. "However, we must be diligent
in improving California's K-12 system
in order to make students from those
continued from page 1
schools that have historically not been
competitive, more competitive in the
future. We must also be creative in rethinking UC's admissions policy to allow f or a b etter r epresentation of
California's population."
Lt. Governor Davis is a proponent of
a proposal before the UC Regents that
calls for automatically admitting to the
UC afixedpercentage of graduating seniors from each high school in California to tile UC system.
"It is time for the UC Regents to seriously consider adopting the top-students' proposal as a means to offset the
dramatic impact of Prop. 209," Davis
concluded. "Thefirststep is raising the
b& on academic achievement in
California's high schools. This will improve academic performance among all
high-schoolers and, at the same time,
ensure that no segment of California's
diverse communities is shut out of the
UC."

Phillips.
"I am not aware of any other program
like this in the country. Some campuses
require students to have their own computers but add the cost onto tuition.
Some campuses loan computers to students. I have not heard of any programs,
other than the Evers Computer Scholarships, where the students get to use
and keep the computers," stated
Norman Nicolson, dean of instructional
and information technologies.
Each computer will be fully loaded
with software, including Internet connectivity. Evers scholars will periodically be given software upgrades at no
cost, to insure that they are current with
the latest technology. New computers
will be purchased each year, so that
each new group of scholars will have
up-to-date computers. The university
will offer technical support to the scholars through its student computer help
desk.
To apply for the first Evers Computer
Scholarship, students must: plan to
enroll as a freshman at CSUSM fall,
1998; have a minimum 3.0 high school
grade point average; and show financial
need as determined by CSUSM.
Students interested in applying for
the Evers Computer Scholarships must
complete a CSUSM General Scholarship Application and a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid. Both forms
must be completed and mailed to
CSUSM by April 20.
Applications are available at most high

Track:
continued from page 1
With the success of the new fee referendum, CSUSM students
will soon be able to participate in various intramural sports
a $52 million sports and entertainment
facility.
Four years later, several students
launched an u nsuccessful legal
challenge of t he resulting $47 per
semester fee increase. Today, the SDSU
facility, officially called Cox Arena at
Aztec Bowl, hosts five gymnasiums, a
workout room, weight-training room,
locker room with saunas and a rockclimbing wall.
The idea for the CSUSM project
began approximately two years ago with
a $50,000 donationfroma local builder
who asked to r emain anonymous,
Lynch said. That money paid for the
field's design and soil-testing costs.
But plans to build the state-of-the-art
track and soccer field stalled after only
about $25,000 was raisedfromvarious
other donors, she said.
Gonzalez rekindled the plans when he
proposed t hat s tudents back the
development of the facility through a
fee increase referendum.
The original donor then pledged an
additional $150,000 for the project if it
won student approval.
According to a voter information flier
distributed by the university, the donor
will "assist the University to initiate the
development of the facility by early
summer," which Gonzalez explained
meant helping the university to secure
financing for the project.
Because academic buildings have first
priority for state funds, money to build
an athletic facility would have to come
from s tudent and donor s upport,
according to the flier.
The referendum met limited
opposition from students, with some
comparing the issue as a battle between
sports and scholastics.
Though conceding she didn't vote on
the issue, biology m ajor Robyn
Rosenburg said she was concerned
about CSUSM losing academic focus.
"It's ridiculous to pay for a soccer field
when we don't even have enough
classes," she added.
Students will pay the additional fee
for seven to 10 years, after which they
may vote to rescind it, or keep it to fund
additional facilities and programs.
ASI Secretary Erik Dawson warned
that there probably will only be a small
window of opportunity to abolish the
fee once the track is paid off.
"Students will have to remain
constantly vigilant, otherwise they are
going to get ripped off," he added.
Though hot certain where funds
would come from to maintain the field
if students do vote the fee out a decade
from now, Gonzalez said they would
probably come f rom t he campus
budget.
Francine Martinez, vice president of
Student Affairs, praised students for
recognizing the need for the facility.
"The proposed track speaks to a change
in the campus culture for the students,"
she said, adding that it could be used
for such events as club days in the fall,
concerts and the annual health fair.
CSUSM membership in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
may also loom in the future, but first
the University must establish five men's
and five women's teams, she said.
For the time being, students will have
t he o pportunity to develop and
p articipate in i ntramural sports,
Gonzalez said.
ASI President Joe Faltaous called the
track a step in t he right direction,
adding, "It gives t he campus a
opportunity to begin hosting more
programs and activities and creating a
channel for uniting students."
Senior Julie Baer said she voted for
the referendum even though she will
not be on campus next year to use it
because she will still be an alumnae.
"Every college with a quality reputation
has a good sports program," she said.
Sophomore Arwen Swink said she
believes thefieldwill "make the campus
a little bit more official," and pointed
out that the $35 increase in student fees
was more than canceled by a 5 percent
t uition decrease enacted by state
legislators.
Josephine Jones, a literature and
writing major who expects to graduate
next fall, said she didn't mind paying an
extra $35 even though the chances of
her ever using the track were slim.
"It's not so much that I'm not going
to use it," she said, "I see it as an asset
for the community."
Jones said she was not bothered by
the fact that nearly 90 percent of the
s tudents failed to vote o n the
referendum. "The apathy stems from
society as a whole and it just trickles
down to our peon level," she added.

B Y L O D I A O RAMAS
As most of us know, the college routine
is a hectic one. Getting away, if only for
a couple of minutes, is not only helpful
to stressed-out students, but mandatory.
And there is a place on the CSUSM
campus where it's possible to do that.
But you'd better enjoy it while you can,
because even that simple pleasure may
soon be lost.
The Student Lounge in Conference
Room 2-206 ... equipped with a TV, a
couple of tables and plenty of seating. ..
may be small, but it's the only thing we
have. It is now controlled by Associated
Students Inc. (ASI), but other university groups are casting covetous eyes at
the space.
According to the CSUSM Foundation, the off-campus office responsible
for the university's growth, not enough
students use the lounge. The Foundation is considering taking it over and
converting it into a conveyance store.
The CSUSM Space Committee, on the
other hand, would like to turn it into a
conference room.
Either way, that would leave students
nowhere to go during breaks.The Student Affairs Office also has plans for the
lounge, which would leave most of it
intact. That office has recommended
converting the back 10 feet of t he
present lounge into an office to house
the Pride newspaper.
ASI also has recommended spending
$5,000 to improve its offices, as well as
the lounge, according to ASI secretary
Erik Dawson.
Even at present, the lounge is not always available to students, since ASI
allows other campus organizations to
reserve the room for special events.
The Student Union also has proposed
to take over the lounge, but preserve the
space for students, according to Student
Union chairman Matt Mugglebee. He
points out that such a move would provide the group the opportunity to have
"a heart on campus."
The problem boils down to a familiar
refrain at CSUSM: The university is
growing, and its facilities aren't. There
simply isn't space to accommodate everyone.
Unfortunately, should the present
lounge be lost, there is no plan to provide any other space to enable students
to do what they should be doing beside
studying and learning... relaxing.
Fee increase:
dent Erin Schazenbach, who voted
against t he increase, asked, "Why
should a third of the $35 increase go to
a scholarship pool? Aren't we all in need
of financial assistance? it just doesn't
make sense."
She added that she would rather see
her money spent on construction of a
better library or perhaps a center for art
programs.
But, according to the wishes of the
anonymous $150,000 donor, the contribution could only be used for an athletic facility. Had the referendum failed,
the gift would have been withdrawn.
Certainly, the donation provides the
university with an opportunity to create a more interactive campus, encouraging students to become more involved and concerned, but why should
all students have to pay out for a facility that only an obvious minority of
them cares about?
And exactly how long will they have
to pay what amounts to a tax?
The information pamphlets provided
at the polls said students will have an
opportunity to vote to get rid of the $35
increase once the debt is paid.
But who will initiate such a vote? The
students entering CSUSM seven to 10
years from now may not even have access to this information.
The extra $35 may not immediately
be noticed by students, because of a
temporary decrease in tuition that undoubtedly helped in its adoption.
As one senior who voted in favor
pointed out, it didn't seem to make a
difference, thanks to the reduction. But
fees are bound to go up, as they always
do, and the increase will be a heavier
burden for CSUSM students.
Also, the termination of some costs
like field maintenance and developmental growth in the future seems uncer-

The Student Union is looking for

The organization is Responsible for
planning and managing facilities to support and promote the campus community, according to Chairman Matt
Mugglebee. The Student Union will be

tain. Won't both be needed constantly?
What if future students decide not to
pay the fee anymore? Will that mean
the soccer field's grass won't get cut or
watered?
It appears that the $18.35 fee set aside
for these costs will be a fixture, unless
future sports programs accrue revenue.
CSUSM administrators maintain that
the adoption of the increase will send
the message out to the community that
we care enough about our campus to
spend our own money to build needed
facilities.
Jane Lynch, executive director of university advancement, said the track's
approval was an "important partnership with the community."
But will that spur the community to
offer financial s upport f or f uture
projects? Maybe. Maybe not. But it's
hardly an assumption that students
should have relied on.

Visual Arts student
displays her
talents in Carlsbad
B Y CHRIS OZOLS
She gets up before the sun rises and
keeps going until after it sets. Sometimes she spends three or four days
searching for the perfect image, and
then she waits a bit longer for good
lighting and a "certain feel" between her
and her subject.
Even though photography is a long
and hard process, Becca Siminou, a
CSUSM visual arts major, says, "It's a
wonderful process."
Siminou's photography exhibit,
"Tracing Journeys through Shadows,"
is now on display at Good Books Gallery, 527 Carlsbad Village Drive, at the
corner of State Street in Carlsbad until
May 24. It features 33 of her favorite
shots, 25 of them in black-and-white,
and the remaining eight in color.
Many of her pictures are of landscapes, and few have people in them.
"Her work is wonderful," said fellow
s tudent Marcus Schiro, s taring at
Siminou's favorite natural-setting picture, "Reflections."
"It makes me feel relaxed and calm.
"The entire exhibit is for sale. Framed
color shots cost $200, framed black-
and-white pictures, $160. But the pictures also are available unframed. The
display is Siminou's capstone project to
meet the requirements for her BA. The
project is designed to bring students, as
well as their art, into the community.
"I photographed a lot as a kid when I
was traveling with my family, and then
in high school, my sophomore year, I
took my first photo class, and I fell in
love with it. With time, I knew it was
what I wanted to do," Siminou says,
"I am able to capture myself and my
soid in my images and really re-energize myself. It's a way of doing something for myself as well as for people,
because they are able to look at the images, see places they have never been,
and maybe introduce them to a place
they want to go."
Through her years at both Palomar
College and CSUSM, Siminou says, she
has gained confidence in her work. "College is what really brought out my vision, and made me realize I have talent,"

for any fan of innovative audio theoiy.
Read the lyric® sheet especially (a workofart on its
own, it lends meaning t o Radiohead's brilliant tonal
poetry) and suspend judgment until you've listened
. to it a few times all the way through. Thisa&um definitely grows on you.
The undeniably moody composition of "OK Computer" effectively weds form and content into one unassuming organic whole. The thoughtful lyrics of
singer Thorn Yorke offer thematic text to intensely
menacing instrumentals. Check out tracks like "Paranoid Android," "Exit Music (for a film)," "Karma Police*' and the eerie-electronic "Fitter, Happier." They're
all songs that comment on the difficulty in virtue and
the absurd emptiness of resolution on the moral imperative of doubt and self-improvement in the everweakened human condition.
"OK Computer" offers a 12-track piece of kinetic art
with contextually forceful and sensitive psychological underpinnings. Radiohead's oft-times dark and
brooding ambient sound has earned the group comparisons to Pink Floyd by critics ... a comparison
Greenwood modestly chalks up to the groups' common British roots.
"Oxford (Radiohead's hometown) is in the center
of England, but it's not really a rock n' roll town, and
we don't record in a rock n' roll place," he says. "We

B Y JIM GATES
r • 1 he Grammy Awards judges seem to think that
you should buy this album. It earned a Best
J L Album of the Year nomination and most mainstream print media publications followed suit by placing it on their "ten best" list as well.
While I'm of the opinion that the Grammys reflect
out-pf-touch indus|ry politics, valueless to music taps
outside of the mainstream, I II admit it: The hype
alone drove me to buy this CD.
Like anyone else, I feel the pressure to want to listen to esoteric bands that no one has ever heard of,
but despite the urge to be disagreeable here, I have to
concur with the Grammys.
"OK Computer," Radiohead's third release, would
be an asset to anyone's collection. My worst nightmare of becoming a closet pop fan is slowly coming
true.
Radiohead has experienced its share of variable
success. Its two previous releases, "Pablo Honey" and
"The Bends," saw considerably less fanfare. "OK Computer," on the other hand, has earned the group its
highest level of critical and commercial success to
date.
Oddly, t he success of "OK Computer" proves
Radiohead to be the consummate pop band with zero

Dear Editor,
Your recent front page, "above the
fold" article about something called
"Electric Library" is, I fear representative of the most common shortcoming
of college students today: the inability
to research a question or topic in a
scholarly manner. Electronic access to
databases can certainly be a boon, but
only if the consumer is discerning. Your
reporter proclaimed the "richness" of
the Electric Library database and offered as evidence "a well-balanced
cross-section of data" in the form of
National Review, Psychology Today,
Newsday and USA Today, not one
scholarly publication among them, and
one of them the McPaper of our age.
The inclusion of The Complete Works
of Shakespeare is curious in that it
would seem t o be one of t he most
readily available books (remember
those?) in any library, negating the necessity of paying $10 per month to
"read" the Bard via a cathode ray tube.
My points are these: First, when all is
said and done, jthers is^no s^bstituteioi;
walking through a library and actually
touching and reading books and journals; in some cases, that is the only
place you will find what you need for a
scholarly paper. Second, for this campus—and its students and their publications—to mature, it is incumbent
upon the faculty advisors of the student
paper to more carefully examine what
is being touted as the most important
story of the week. (Buried in the same
issue was t he more i mportant and
timely article r egarding remedial
courses in the CSU system.)

letters to the editor
Use library's resources:
free of charge
Dear editor:
I write in response to Dan LaBelle's
lead article in "The Pride" of April 2,
1998. "Electric Library Addresses Research Woes" touts an Internet resource
which provides access to popular journals for $59.95 annually. I invite all
"Pride" readers to use an array of resources supporting the CSUSM curriculum — absolutely free.
Enter the Library from the 3rd floor
courtyard of Craven Hall and there
you'll find several databases which will
give you full-text information from
more than 1500 journals in a variety of
subject areas. Plus you'll find library
staff who will help you formulate search
strategies and evaluate the information
you find. Bring a disc and download the
information that works best for you.
While in the Library you can also get
real research assistance in the Research
Consultation Office and even checkout
books to take home. (Believe it or not,
more than 90% of scholarly information is still available only in printed
form.)
Many of the databases are also avail-
able from the comfort of your own
workstation 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week by dialing in to the Library's electronic resources page ( http://
ww2.csusm.edu/library/
electronic.htm). In addition to full-text
journals, you can also access the
Encyclopaedia Brittanica. Contemporary Authors, and databases that include college catalogs from over 6,900
institutions as well as company and industry information. The Library's government documents page ( http://
ww2.csusm.edu / govdoc / index.htm)
provides links to government sites at
the local, state, national, and international levels. Whether in the Library or
at home, you can also search the
Library's catalog and order books from
SDSU, UCSD or USD libraries through
the San Diego Library Circuit.
Your campus library has a wealth of
resources. Come use them — in person
or virtually!
Sincerely,
Marion T. Reid

Elections little more than
popularity contest
Dear Editor,
I would like to address an issue that I
feel is a great detriment to our campus
In the recent elections, there were a
number of candidates who told us to
vote for them. I found out some interesting things about these candidates. I
found, that one could make a monkey
smile, therefore we should vote for him.
Another could rap, therefore we should
vote for him. And, others simply told us
to vote for them, but for no real reason.
One thing that was lacking from every
candidate was any substantive reason
as to why we should vote for them at
all. What do they believe in? What type
of experience do they have? What are
their philosophies and/or views. What
issues do they feel are important and
why?
None of these items were addressed.
Also, the manner in which the election
was run forced those who actually voted
to vote solely based on acquaintance,
redfieing these'electiofis to little* more
http://www.save.org
than a high-school popularity contest.
We now attend a university and I feel
that the issues deserve considerably
more regard; regard which has not been
forthcoming. Now, arguably, there is
little in the way of a forum for the candidates to be heard. I feel they could
create their own forum if they so desired
but probably will not if the current
method used continues to work for
them.
I therefore have a proposition for the
Associated Students Inc. ASI should
mandate a forum as a requirement for
running. In other words, if a person
decides to runfor an office, they would
be required t o, o n a specified day,
present a 3-5 minute speech on there
merits, experience, and views on issues.
This forum could be held in a vacant
lecture hall and would cost the school
little if anything at all. The information
gained however would be invaluable in
helping the students guide and plan for
the future of this university.
I cannot believe for a moment that I
am the only person who feels this way.
I ask the ASI to consider this suggestion or similar suggestions, for the issues that the students face everyday are
too important to leave to someone simply because a monkey smiles in their
presence.

E lectric l ibrary a ddresses r esearch w o e s
• High technology now allows CSUSM students to conduct large-scale research on campus. But for a price.
BY DAN
LABELLE
Finding reliable resources for research
papers usually requires a trip to a university library. Not anymore.
The Internet now can provide you
with an easy-to-use alternative: Electric
Library.
Information is easy to find on the
worldwide web. But the content may
not always be exactly what you are looking for or wholly reliable.
The Electric Library makes it possible
t o c onduct r eal r esearch over t he
Internet, using a deep database of gen-
erally reliable sources.
Using the Electric Library is easy, too.
Within seconds after entering a search,
results are returned to you ranked in
relevancy order, displaying the document title, source, author, date of publication, size and grade-reading level.
With this service, you need only click
on the document or image of interest
and it is automatically downloaded.
The materials can be printed, or copied and saved into a word processing
document with bibliographic,informa-
tion automatically transferred.
The greatest asset of the Electronic
Library is the richness of its database.
Some of the publications at its disposal
are "National Review," "Psychology
Today," "The Complete Works of
Shakespeare," "Newsday" and "USA
Today." These publications provide a
well-balanced cross section of data to
draw from. Very few requests draw a
blank from such a wide spanning database. Electronic Library can be invaluable for students who are looking for
current information, which can be difficult to obtain at a library. This is because the Electronic Library's database
is updated daily via satellite.
Like all good things, though, Electronic Library is not f ree. A single
month of unlimited usage costs $9.95.
A yearly subscription of unlimited access costs $59.95.
You can sign on directly on its web site
at http://www.elibrary.eom/s/hotbot.
Electronic Library is now offering
one month of free unlimited access.

spawns Q & A workshop
• The "Mug the Presidents" workshop held on March 26
was called to address present as well as future campus concerns
B Y DEBBIE HENKE
What do CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez and
Cheech Marin have in common?
If you were one of approximately 35 students who
attended t he "Mug t he Presidents" workshop on
March 26, you'd know the answer. Both were born in
East LA
Those students got the opportunity to meet and talk
with Gonzalez and Associated Students Inc. President
Joe Faltaous during the informal, 90-minute question-and-answer session, part of the College Success
Workshop. They also got a free coffee mug, ice cream
and cookies.
More importantly, they got an insight on a number
of campus improvements that are in the works.
Gonzalez stressed that CSUSM, thoughh a fledgling
institution, ha tremendous potential. "It's like a clean
slate, and you have a chance to shape it," he told the
students, "It's an exciting thing to me and it should
be to you, too."
A major campus flaw, he noted, was the lack of
places for students to congregate, a hindrance to student involvement, "My fear is this campus will become strictly a commuter campus and students will
lose the full experience of an undergraduate education," he added.
In order to provide more space for students to meet,
he added, the cement area outside The Dome will be
expanded, and a wind break and covered area will be
constructed, a project that should be completed in
time for the upcoming fall semester.
Another key project t hat will benefit students,
Gonzalez said, is the proposed track andfieldfacility.
Students will vote April 15 and 16 on whether to help
finance its construction by raising Associated Student

• Distance as well as language learning are both
componants of the evolving "virtual" classroom
B Y L ESLIE P EARNE
^ K F t 's only a move one floor up,
but it will have worldwide im
I
pact. By next fall, CSUSM stu
dents will have a lot more access
^ Ata to other countries, not to mention other U.S. universities, when the
Multimedia Language Learning Center
moves to the second floor of University
Hall.
The new, two-room facility will contain a dual-purpose lab where students
can access a new distance learning program in conjunction with the already
established language learning program.
Distance learning enables students to
take classesfromother universities, via
computer. The program creates a simulated classroom situation in which students are able to interact with professors from other universities by asking
questions through a microphone over
computer lines, as though they were
physically sitting in the class.
"This will open up complete communication around the world," said Kevin
Igasaki, director of the Language Learning Center. Igasaki, who has held that
post at CSUSM for two years, said the
center also will have word processors
designed specifically for communication in French, German, Spanish, Japanese and the newest edition, Chinese.
"So many courses are offered now as
far as language, like Chinese for example," said Igasaki. "This creates a
definite need for the expansion. We
want to help out students, give them a
lot more access than they currently
have."
The new facility not only will benefit
students, but the lab's employees as
well. "We're looking forward to a real
work spjace," said Igasaki. The current
center is just one room, where Igasaki
and the manager, Lucy Higuera, have
to take care of computer technical problems and administrative matters, within
a confined space, among students.
The new center will have a separate
tech room between the lab's audio/visual and telecommunications/computing sections, o ffering Igasaki a nd
Higuera an appropriate work area, out
of students' sight.
The lab will contain 24 computers,
which Igasaki says are probably the
fastest on campus. These computers are
intended for distance learning courses
and foreign language communication.
"I'm really excited, because the expansion provides an opportunity for students to complete and excel in their language classes," said Igasaki. He added
that the new distance learning program
may help eliminate limited course'offerings here at CSUSM and allow stu-

learning center facility
dents to take the required courses in a
timely manner. Igasaki also hopes to
be able to add more employees. "We'll
have two labs to take care of and more
class activities to take care of," he added.
"I'm hoping that this infrastructure will
grow as the student population grows."

Hall over the summer.
New spaces and shuttling hoped to relieve
parking madness
B Y JAMES GATES
A note to the weaiy: CSUSM Parking
Services plans to ease your pain.
It promises some hope to the devotees
of the ever-exhaustive search for the
most elusive and highly coveted asset
to one's college education ... a good
parking spot.
Parking Services has growing concerns about the situation on campus.
And, while there is a carrot in the future, an anticipated 590 additional
spaces by next f all, there is also a stick
this spring: more tickets.
In the eighth week of classes, 93 citations were issued to students and staff,
an unusually high figure for that late in
the semester, according Parking Coordinator Dora Knoblock. It's roughly
double the weekly average of previous
semesters, she added.
Most of those ticketed still had
not purchased a valid parking
permit. Though students continue t o p urchase p ermits,
Knoblock said, the number without them is "lower than previous
semesters."
A small part of the decrease
may b e a ttributed t o t he f act t hat
CSUSM enrollment this spring is 4,589
students, down slightly from last fall.
It's unlikely that all 4,589 would be
on campus at the same time, but it still
is a scary prospect to many students,
since there are only 1,463 total spaces
available in student l ots, a ratio of students to spaces of 3-to-l.
While many students still scramble
for spaces, at least one junior, Hotan
Hanorvar, said the situation isn't top
bad. "It seems to me that there's plenty
of parking," he added.
Another concern cited by Knoblock is
that many students simply aren't paying their fines. Most of t he scofflaws,
she added, "are being reported to the
DMV."
Knoblock attributed much of the delinquency to students who think the
ticket is "just a warning, though it
amazes me that at this level people are
still looking for loopholes. These are
future educators, scientists and accountants."
Knoblock urged students with outstanding citations to call Parking Services at 750-4500 and make arrangements to pay up, warning that failure
could result in a delay to graduation.
She stressed, that Parking Services is
a "self-supporting operation." Its annual revenues from the sale of parking
permits must cover both its operating
expenses and repayment of revenue
bonds sold to construct parking faculties. It does not receive state money, she
added.
Plans for next fall include construction o f590 new spaces near the Barham
entrance of the campus and a kiosk that
would assist in any university-related
questionsfromnew and continuing students.
Knoblock said shuttle service from
another 100 new spaces in the PalomarPomerado H ealth Systems Center,
across Twin Oaks Valley Road from the
campus, would be available.
Additionally, Parking Services has
p urchased two new d aily-permit
ticketers that accept bills and coins and
give change, she said. One of them will
be installed in student Lot 10 before the
end of the spring semester.
The sale of $54 summer 1998 parking permits begins May 25 at Parking
Services. Those students paying with
credit cards must go to the Cashiers
Office on the third floor of Craven Hall,
since Parking Services accepts only cash
and checks. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. Monday-Friday.

B Y J ENIFER J A F F E
The Third International Mathematics and Science
Study alarmed the nation in February by revealing
that U.S. high-school seniors ranked second to last in
the world in 1995.
But that may not have been startling news to officials in the CSU system. Two years after finding less
of a need for remedial instruction in math and English, the system admitted a record number of firsttime freshman students who lacked the foundation
for college-level math and English.
Today, 54 percent of CSU's first-time freshmen need
remedial courses in Math, while 47 percent need
remediation in English, according to a March report
in The San Diego Union-Tribune.
Whether it stems from a few years off from school,
or a poor high-school education, tutors in the CSUSM
Math Lab are seeing a lot of students in academic
trouble... and in tears. The lab's coordinator, Maureen
DuPont, who has been running the program since its
beginning eight years ago, says she constantly reassures students that their difficulties do not stem from
stupidity, but generally because they were wrongly
placed into a math course.
Those CSUSM students who have not already passed
a^coHege1 levelma*hrco>urse;qre1'reqriired t dtakethe'
Entrance Level Math (ELM) test. If they pass, they
can proceed into a college math course of 100 or
higher. If they don't pass, they can enroll in Math 50,
despite the fact that they might not know basic arithmetic, or pre-algebra concepts.
DuPont, a CSUSM graduate herself who also teaches
math at Palomar College, says the university offers a
wide array of remedial courses, including Math
10,15,50, and 60, and adds that it's essential for students to get a foundation before tackling higher
courses like trigonometry and calculus.
With CSUSM's enrollment at more than 4,500, she
said, "We should not be wasting our time and money
teaching math 50." That's what junior colleges are for,
she added.
Other educators say it's the job of primary and secondary schools to prepare students for college. The
international test results that seem to show students
continuing to' slip through the evidently widening
cracks in education, they add, have sent educators and
superintendents searching for answers.
As alarming as the test results seem, however, some
argue it would be dangerous to read too much into
them, since many European countries test only college-bound individuals, while the United States tests
all students.
The test results have stoked a national debate on education, and many educators are calling on schools to
increase expectations, start students off earlier in science and higher math and no longer allow high-school
students to take a break from the subjects in their
senior year.
One of the most heated arguments in education over
the past year has been the controversy over "new" (or
integrated) math versus traditional math.
In a policy reversal, the Escondido high school district, one of San Diego County's first districts to offer
students a choice of new math or traditional math,
last October voted to automatically place students in
traditional math courses unless patents requested
otherwise.
CSUSM freshman Roland Arias, a former student
at Orange Glen High School in Escondido, said he "got
Itrcl^/by'being placed i n traditional math. He said
he prefers the method because he's "not much of a
group person" a nd because, in new math courses,
there are "slackers" who sit back and allow others in
the class to pull all the weight.
Arias pointed out that he benefitted not necessarily
because he learned more by bypassing new math, but
because the Scholastic Achievement Test is formatted towards traditional math. After taking Math 50
at CSUSM, he went on to Math 120 and said he expects to receive an A.
Jamie Kasper, a junior at CSUSM who said she put
off fulfilling her math requirement for a while because
she's "not good at it," is not as optimistic. The former
Vista High student took Math 50 at CSUSM and said
she is currently struggling in her Math 120 course even
though she rarely misses a class, does all her homework and frequents the Math Lab.
"I'm just not grasping it as well as I did in highschool," she said.

�Chancellor gives CETI 5050 chance of reaching
agreement
Page 4
CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed presented an update on the California Education Technology Initiative negotiations and said there is a 50-50 chance that the
partners will be able to reach an agreement.
"If no one has ever done it before, it's going to be hard," Reed said. "The concept
is correct, and I don't want to talk about contingency plans, but if it doesn't work,
we will need contingencies because not doing it is not a choice."
Under the proposal, the CSU would join with four corporate partners ^-Fujitsu,
Hughes Electronics, GTE, and Microsoft — to form an organization that would
build a new technology infrastructure for the CSU's 23 campuses. The CSU would
invest in CETI the $89.6 million it currently spends annually on technology
systemwide, and the corporate partners would raise the $300 million needed for
the development of the CSU technology infrastructure. In return the new company would have access to CSlTs market of38,500 faculty and staff and 344,000
students.
The problem in the negotiations centers on estimates of how much revenue the
CSU market would provide, how that revenue would be divided and how much
risk the corporate partners are willing to take.
The chancellor said he is still hopeful that the plan can be finalized by the beginning of April 50 that there can be a 45-day period for CSU constituencies to
review the plan before the May Board of Trustees meeting.
A national day of silence
for gay rights
B Y F REDRIC B A L L
On April 8, the organizers of the National Day of Silence, the largest gay,
lesbian, b isexual a nd t ransgender
*(GLBT) awareness event in the United
States, will take place on school campuses across the country.
Between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. that day,
organizers of the event, run by and for
youths, will ask supporters to take a
nine-hour vow of silence to draw attention t o the silence t hat homophobia
causes.
The brainchild of Jessie Gilliam and
Maria Pulzetti, students at the University of Virginia, the event is now in its
third year. More than 100 high schools,
colleges and universities will participate
this year.
Instead of speaking, participants
hand out cards that read: "please understand my reasons for not speaking
today. I support gay, lesbian, bisexual
and transgender rights. People who are
silent today believe that laws and attitudes should be inclusive of people of
all sexual orientations.
"The Day of Silence is to draw attention to those who have been silenced
by hatred, oppression and prejudice.
Think about t he voices you are not
hearing. What can you do to end the
silence?"
Gilliam, an e conomics/women's
study major, says, "The first year we did
it, we got a lot of positive press. People
were very supportive because it was the
first large gay event that our Gecy/les-
bian/Bisexual Student Union had done
in a while. Many thought it was an effective way to show that people supported GLBT rights. It was also effective for heterosexuals t o experience
what it's like to be silent for a day."
Co-founder Pulzetti, a history/Russian major, agrees. "The collective statement we make is s taggering. The
strength of this event lies in the fact that
it fills a real need for solidarity among
youth concerned about GLBT rights."
According to Gilliam, the national response has been very good. "We've had
some turndowns, but fewer rejections
than support," she adds. "Surprisingly,
the event appears to work better in the
conservative schools, where there-is no
or limited visibility for GLBT people,
where people don't know gay people
exist on campus.
"In more liberal schools, where there
has been a pro-gay sentiment and campus activism, people tend to think that
they don't need that event because they
are not silent... which I think is great.
But what this also says is that it's great
that you can walk down the street handin-hand with your boyfriend or girlfriend without fear of harassment, but
your comrades in the South may not be
able to."

aughter and learning are two words usually
not used in the same sentence. That is, un
-less you h appen t o b e in one of Miguel
J L f l J z a p a t a ' s CSUSM Spanish classes.
From the first day, it is obvious that Zapata is a different sort of teacher. In fact, it would be easy to confuse him with a stand-up comedian.
The best part of his class is that you learn a lot and
have fun at the same time.
Zapata, a native of in Michoacan, Mexico, came to
the United States in 1977. He attended Fallbrook High
School and Palomar College before graduating from
San Diego State University. He has been teaching for
about seven years:
Zapata mixes his lectures with humor, the end result being a fun education. When asked his favorite
part about teaching, he says, "I enjoy the students
responding to me in Spanish, to be able to hear them
speak the language that I teach them."
Try to answer one of his questions in English and
Zapata will say, "No comprendo ingles, yo hablo
ifep&xioi X De>t>'t expfeetfoim t&bu&ge, because he won't
Those who are shy or have a soft voice will likely be
brought out of their shells in Zapata's class. Those
who are single may get caught in an impromptu dating game when Zapata asks someone to describe a
classmate in Spanish.
He will ask if you consider a student good looking.
If you answer yes, he will continue to probe in Spanish. If btfth students are single, h e will ask them if
they would like to ^et tdjgefher. " '
But it is all in fun, and those of his students who go
to a class tired generally wake up quickly because of
the laughter.
Zapata likes to tell stories about his wife and kids,

M iguel Z apata, e ducator a nd f amily m an,
h elps s tudents t o e xplore t he S panish l anguage r ather t han j ust l earn it.
and students feel as if they really get to know him. He
is candid, and will answer most personal questions...
if they are asked in Spanish. In his classes, "John"
becomes " Juan" and " Peter" becomes "Pedro,"
whether John or Peter wants to or not.
He teaches his students not only the grammar and
structure of Spanish, but how to use it in everyday
life. He is adamant about teaching students that there
are differences between English and Spanish.
Expressions that are used in English don't always
translate to Spanish and Zapata wants his students
to learn how to communicate, not just learn grammar. The textbooks used in Zapata's classes are only
a small part of the learning. "I give you a lot more
information than the book," Zapata says, adding that
he teaches everyday life skills.
Zapata points to one teacher who inspired him to
choose his profession. It was his sixth-grade teacher
who, he said, was, "veiy caring, knowledgeable, tough
and strict. I always knew that I wanted to be like her."
Zapata's comedic style of teaching is not an act. "The
humor in the class is not because I want to be funny,"
he says. "I don't plan jokes. It's part of my teaching.
It's me. If the students enjoy the class, they are learning better."
Zapata estimates that 99 percent of his students go
on to teach Spanish. "I motivate them to go on to be
Spanish majors because they speak Spanish and they
learn it and that excites them," he says. "They want to
1
continue."
Zapata is one of the instructors for CSUSM's fourweek program at the Spanish for Teachers Institute
in Cuernavaca, Mexico, this summer.
Zapata says he knows first-hand that learning a new
language can be difficult, since he had to learn English, His teaching makes learning fun, and it doesn't
seem so difficult between bouts of laughter. One of
his former student, Vince DeLuca, said, "I like his
humor. It is necessary for Spanish."
If it isn't necessary, it is at least enjoyable.
Study Abroad program offers viable alternative to regular language classes
B Y R EBECCA W A R N E
Having trouble finding the classes you want? Need to
meet your foreign- language requirements? Since
CSUSM is a new university still experiencing major
growth, its students sometimes face challenges finding classes that meet their requirements and fit into
their schedule.
Some of them solve the dilemma through the Study
Abroad Program, an exciting and viable alternative
that offers a wide range of international programs that
meet graduate requirements, provide an opportunity
to study language and a chance to .travel.
The programs, which range from two weeks to a fall
academic year, fit into most students' schedules.
Study Abroad's office is in Craven Hall, Room 5313.
Peter Zwick, director, and Pam Bell, the International
Program coordinator, welcome visits.
Bell speaks with some experience, having traveled
abroad herself since high school when a family trip to
Spain, as she says, got her hooked. Schools in her area
didn't offer exchange programs or study abroad and
she didn't get to travel again until after college.
A marketing major in college, Bell never stopped
dreaming of traveling. She worked during college,
saving up for her next trip abroad. She and a friend
backpacked around the world after graduation, starting in Hawaii and traveling to Asia, then through
Europe for three nionths.
Bell came to CSUSM hoping to pursue a master's
degree. Initially, she worked in the Political Science
Department, but when the Study Abroad office was
proposed, she was eager to help establish it.
Among the programs offered under Study Abroad
is the International Program (IP), a CSU effort affiliated with more than 70 institutes in 17 countries.
To participate in Study Abroad, students must have
a 2.75 cumulative GPA. Financial aid can be applied
to the programs. Students receive academic credit for
classes taken and assistance in all arrangements, such
as academic planning, housing and visas. A resident
coordinator and/or host institution staff member is
available in each country.
IP is supported financially by the State of California, allowing students to participate for only a fraction of the actual cost.
Business students can attend Waseda University in
Tokyo, the most renowned university in Japan. Students can study Spanish and Social Sciences or Humanities in Spain.
At the University of Heidelberg, Germany, the oldest university in Europe, classes are offered in everything from archaeology to zoology.
Students don't always need to have extensive language preparation. Some universities teach classes in
English. The United Kingdom, Italy, Canada and Australia offer extensive programs in most major fields
of study. Other programs of shorter duration are available, some in coordination with Palomar College.
�Mateline Marshall discusses f emininity a nd d ivinity
B Y A M Y M ESTER
Does the architecture of a library in
England or a little chapel in Rome interest a lover of literature? It sure does,
particularly if you're CSUSM literature
teacher Mateline Marshall.
"In my discipline I deal with words on
a page but there's also physical spaces
... sounds, colors and light," she says.
"Words are only a portion of artistic
thought."
Take the British Library, for example.
"The building is held up on huge marble
pillars, mottled green, that look like
they've protruded out of the earth," says
Marshall, who has a Ph.D. in comparative literature from New York University. "You're surrounded by this gorgeous stone and beautiful paintings."
The library lodges an astonishing collection of old books, manuscripts and
artifacts brought back by the "cursed
British empire," Marshall says, and
house in a large round room with a glass
dome ceiling and natural light streaming down.
"So often, pictures lie behind words,"
Marshall adds. "The experience of tran-
scendence that comes out in poetry
locks in exactly with physical space.
Meaning happens in a different way
when it's also spatial."
A small chapel in Rome housing
Bernini's "Saint Theresa in Ecstasy"
leaves a similar impression on her.
"Bernini designed the chapel so that
light from heaven would shine through
the windows and illuminate the sculpture," says Marshall.
"The light from heaven is part of what
makes this all work. This is the key to
ecstasy... raising your thoughts up and
looking into heaven. On the ceiling
there are clouds and angels and the light
of heaven streaming in. This is a perfect match with this sort of experience.
"The sculpture portrays the saint in
this moment of transcendent glory,
which looks like good sex and which is
part of the 17th century. It's an orgasmic kind of picture: the beautiful drapery of her clothes and an evil-looking
angel with a spear penetrating her
heart.
"One of the silly monks who run the
chapel hung an incandescent bulb to
light up the statue, completely destroy0

that's a great challenge to conventional
feminism. Conventional feminism has
been very unhappy about this sort of
attitude. But to throw out all this poetry and a concept of perfect love is a
mistake f or f eminist theology and
theory."
Marshall says the recurring theme of
the soul as the bride and Christ as the
bridegroom who loves each soul passionately and exclusively continues to
intrigue her.
"It all just says, "Hey, let's really get
at the heart of the convention, which
says there's a knockout, astonishing
experience of perfect love which is
physical, which is spiritual, which is
everything," she adds. "And that's the
analogy that leads to this very exciting,
very sexy poetry and music. You find it
in Bach cantatas which are contemporaneous."
Marshall also teaches Bible as Lit, U.S
Lit, Forms of Discourse, and Women's
Studies, "Race, Class and Gender" this
semester.

and I remember trying to explain what
a travesty this was to the caretaker."
It's places and revelations such as this
that fuel Marshall's interest in 17th and
18th century culture and her uncommon stance on feminism.
"I am veiy interested in poetry and art
and music that represent the love that
people, especially women, have for God
and God has for people. Women poets
have always favored this divine love
analogy," she says.
Marshall says she continues to work
on piles of poems by women that she
has discovered at the British library,
sometimes for hours or days straight.
In t urn, she has written numerous
times on the theme of divine love.
"The idea here is not to say sex is religion and religion is sex," says Marshall.
"It's to say that perfect love and perfect
rapture have a connection. We can use
some of the same language to talk about
knowing God or loving God that we use
in talking about human relationships.

San Diego-born Yolanda Lopez, one of
the country's best known Chicana artists, will present a sampling of her work
in a special tribute to the-women of the
garment industry beginning April 3 in
the library at California State University, San Marcos.
Featuring a selection of family photographs centered on her late mother,
who worked in San Diego's garment industry for many years, the exhibit will
open with a reception at 3 p.m. in the
library courtyard and remain on display
in the library throughout April. The
public is invited and admission is free.
Lopez will precede the exhibit with
two free slide/lecture presentations.
The first includes a personal survey of
her work on Monday, March 30, beginning at 6 p.m. in Room 102 of Academic
Hall.
The second centers on the Bay Area
Chicana Artists, starting at noon on
Wed., April 1 in Room 102 of Academic
Hall.
Much of Lopez' art, which includes
prints, posters, drawings, videos and
installations, focuses on media myths
about Mexicans and Mexican-Americans as presented in magazines, films
and television.
Lopez says she is concerned about
these myths because they "affect not
only how we perceive ourselves as
Americans, but just as importantly, how
others will perceive us.
The problem of a corrupted understanding of who we are becomes extremely important because it affects our
access to education, employment, housing, health care, and economic resources."
Lopez earned a bachelor's degree in
painting and drawing from San Diego
State University, and a master's in fine
arts from UC, San Diego. She now resides in San Francisco. For more information, call (760) 750-4366.

B Y S COTT B ASS
wmr...
In-your-face cinematography, awesome
scenery and an emotional climb to the
top of the world: That's what you'll get
in the IMAXfilm"Everest."
Filmmaker David Breashears takes
viewers at the Reuben E. Fleet Space
Theater in Balboa Park along for the
climb of a lifetime with three mountaineers. Their goal: to reach the peak of Mt.
Everest, at 29,028 feet, the highest
point on the face of the earth.
Two of them, Araceli Segarra, a Spanish woman with years of climbing experience u nder h er belt and local
Nepalese climber Jamling Norgay, are
attempting the climb for the first time.
Leading them is expedition co-leader Ed
Viesturs.
The film starts off with some background information on Everest, its geologic formation and a brief history of
other expeditions. Then Breashears
gives viewers a closer look at the three
climbers, in essence giving the audience
an emotionally vested interest in them.
For instance, you meet Viesturs and
his new wife on mountainbikes in Utah.
The footage, taken from a helicopter,
follows them on a trail winding around
a steep, narrow canyon. The bike trail
is only six feet wide and, at its side, is a
sheer vertical drop of hundreds, if not
thousands, of feet. The camera angles
create instant vertigo.
Next you meet Segarra, who is climbing a landmark that many will recognize as the rock arches outside Cabo San
Lucas at the tip of Baja on the Sea of
Cortez. Again Breashears builds a bond
between the audience and climber.
The contrast of the sunny and warm
Baja day juxtaposes the cold and harsh
days that come later.
Finally, you meet Norgay, who is from
a mountain-climbing dynasty. If he
reaches the summit of Everest he will
become the 10th family member to do
so. The emotional tie-in within this segment relies on Norgay^s relationships
with his father, Tenzing, who with Sir
Edmund Hillary was the first to climb
the famous peak in 1953.
The rest of the film is a documentation of their efforts on the dramatic

climb. There are a number of dramatic
occurrences on the mountain that turns
out to be overcrowded. An ill-timed attempt at the summit during a blizzard
kills eight climbers on another expedition, including Viesturs' good friend.
Emotions are high as the audience is
drawn into the catastrophe. This highly
publicized tragedy is the subject of
climber John Krakauer's best selling
book, "Into Thin Air."
Fortunately* Breashears' iMAXcre#
decides to wait but the'stohn tft ba$8
camp. Despite the tragedy, they muster up the courage to attempt the ascent. Perhaps the most intense scene of
the movie is when Segarra emotionally

The entire film employs intense camera work, not to mention amazement at

Disney's "Deedl<*S'
Dumb and DunlJ^r
B Y B RANDEE F ERNANDEZ
m
If you think the title, "Meet the Deedles, is dumb, wait until you see the
movie.
Steve Van Wormer and Paul Walker play twin brothers who are lazy party
animals. Their billionaire father decides that a stay at Camp Broken Spirit in
Wyoming is the answer to their laziness.
Through a series of predictable twists and turns, the two boys are mistaken
for rodent experts and become rookie rangers at Yellowstone National Park.
Their assignment is to rid the park of pesky prairie dogs before a big birthday
celebration for the famous geyser, Old Faithful.
Dennis Hopper and Robert Englund (of Freddy Krueger fame) play two
bumbling crooks who try to keep the Deedles from succeeding.
Will the two spoiled, rich kids learn to be responsible? Will Phil Deedle get
the girl? Will the Deedle brothers save Old Faithful? Will they all live "happily
ever after?"
It's a Disney movie, so it should be easy to predict the outcome.
If you're out of elementary school, it's doubtful that youH find this movie
worth watching. The "pull-my-finger" jokes will bring some giggles from the
kids, but there are much better movies out there for them.

¥ T sions of snaring openly gay
Hollywood mogul David Geffen. Instead, he ends u p falling in love with an
East LA cholo named Lobo.
Such is the premise behind Spillers*
new play, "White Boy."
A play within a play, "White Boy," as
Spiller relates early on, is supposed t o
be a tale for his ailing father, but what
it quickly evolves into is the introduction of Ozark-bred Spillers to inner city
life, loves and realities.
Choosing to live in the Barrio, Michael
meets Rocco ( Joe Elvis Alway), a
Puerto Rican dancer at a local club who
dreams of being an actor. He also meets
the flamboyant Wally (Victor Allen), a
Salvadoran go-go boy who dreams of
being Mr. Gay Los Angeles.
It is through this friendship that he
meets the object of his desire, Lobo (Joseph Aguilar), t he only heterosexual
(supposedly) employee at the bar, who
he had bumped into days before as he
went cruising for men in Echo Park.
It is the development of t he relationship between Michael and Lobo that is
the crux for the play.
The two soon develop an odd kinship
of sorts, though they could not have
come from more different worlds.
As they continue to work together and
their friendship develops, Lobo begins
to question his sexuality and, as the first

A frequent visitor to Media Ser
/ \ vices, Dr. T ejinder N eelon,
J L X M a t h e m a t i c s P rofessor, p rovided a refreshing and revealing viewpoint regarding the eclectic mix of movies housed in CSUSM's collection. He
immediately mentioned two films by
famed J apanese d irector Akira
Kurosawa, Ran and Throne of Blood,
each based on a Shakespeare play, King
Lear and Macbeth, respectively. Dr.
Neelon also referred to films by directors Wajda, Herzog and the Coen brothers, all of whom are represented in our
film library.
Part of Dr. Neelon's fascination with
Kurosawa stems f rom t he director's
ability to translate the stories across
different languages, "It's just amazing
to think that Shakespeare would translate well into Japanese and then translate well back i nto English'', h e remarked. Given that the film goes from
renaissance English to Japanese and
then into American English subtitles,
while striving and succeeding in keeping Shakespeare's sense and sensibilities, this proves no easy feat and Dr.
Neelon believes t hat Kurosawa more
than accomplishes this task.

other in front of a local church's Madonna shrine in one of the most erotic
scenes that local theatre has recently
seen.
But, as act two begins, reality in this
machismo-driven neighborhood rears
its ugly head as Lobo keeps their relationship & s ecret f rom h is o ther
homeboys, not to mention the mother
of his toddler son.
Regardless if you're gay, straight or
somewhere in between on the s§xualijy spectrum, you can relate to "WJiite
Boy." It's about ambition as the hunky
and talented Rocco sees his dreams of
acting fail because he's too Hispanic for
some roles, not Hispanic enough for
others, and too gay for some parts, not
gay enough for others. He turns to posing for skin magazines and adult films
to make ends meet.
We meet Junior (Salvador Gonzalez),
t he b umbling t een s tagehand who
wants to be a part of Spillers' production. Born to a woman, who only wanted
to be mm, Junior is hated by his mother
as he represents her failure in life. It
only gets worse as Junior gets older.
In one of his monologues (done at a
time when Spillers bolts off the stage to
ponder his relationship with Lobo),
J unior t ells t he a udience t hat h is
mother never bought him anything in
his life. That is, at least until she finds
out h e's gay. The next morning, h e
found a box in the kitchen containing
his own set of dishes and flatware with
a notefromhis mother saying that these
are the only kitchen items he is allowed
to use now.
Gonzales, vulnerable and eager to
please as Junior, is probably the most
endearing character in the play.
And then there is Lobo, the play's
heartthrob, who early on does a perfect
turn as an in-your-face homeboy oozing testosterone. His character is the
one t hat does t he most in terms of
transformation ... from a young father
who hides from his confusion through
alcohol to a young man coming to terms
with his sexuality in an often trying atmosphere.
"White Boy" had successful runs in
Los Angeles and Palm Springs before an
appearance at 6 @ Penn Studios in
HiUcrest that ended last week.
The success of the play comes as no
surprise: Spillers' writing is fast-paced,
funny, touching and thought provoking^ and, in "White Boy," he assembled
a cast of young men who offer a glimpse
into the stereotype and reality of the
Latino community.
For information on future 6 @ Penn
shows, call (619) 688-9210.
Featuring Dr. Tejinder Neelon & International
Also worth noting, remarked Dr.
Neelon, is Kurosawa's genius as a cinematographer in designing and developing his pictures for the screen, "The
atmosphere he creates is really eyecatching; it really sticks in your mind,
for example, Throne of Blood with the
dust blowing always and the way he
flows this thing and how he tells the
story." These films he went on to say,
"Just stay with you forever."
Two films by Polish director Wajda,
Danton and Ashes andDiamondshavz
also left a lasting impression on Dr.
Neelon. In Danton ,Wajda combines
stylistic "almost melodramatic" acting
alopg with stunning visuals to present
Danton's struggles and, "This scene
sticks in my mind at the end when
Danton is beheaded-it's amazing; very
popular yet very meticulous and political" according to Dr. Neelon. "It's the
stoiy of one man against the world type
of thing", he went on to say, "at which
Wajda does very well."
However, the film Ashes and Diamonds falls a little closer to home for
Dr. Neelon as "this [film] kind of is a
little bit personal because I am from
Punjab, India and there are also terror-
ists bombing so I can imagine what kind
of ideology is going on." Ashes and Diamonds tells the story of a terrorist conflicted between right and wrong. "On
the one hand he believes in the cause
and on the other he sees his friends being killed; innocent people being killed
by a terrorist act" Dr. Neelon relates, "In
the first scene, for example, they kill the
Police Chief but they kill the wrong guyit's very dramatic." The struggle between the protagonist and the power of
politics and personal relationships definitely deserves a look-see!
When asked if he considered himself
a film buff, Dr. Neelon said, "Not a film
buff because when it comes to movies,
I'm pretty snobbish so to speak. I'm not
snobbish about music or art, but movies I think, there's too much Hollywood
trash. But I'm a movie student, so to
speak in the sense that I like to see really good movies,-they could be musicals, they could be anything." He went
on to say, "When I go to the Movie Theater, I practically expect to see a masterpiece, anything less than that, I kind
of get disappointed. Part of it is because
I grew up in a culture where movies
were the only entertainment; in India,
Interests
movies a re p ractically a religion."
Sounds like my kind of church!
While reticent regarding his command of film terminology and vernacular, Dr. Neelon had no trouble explaining what he did not like about movies,
the Oscars and Hollywood in general.
"They shouldn't even call it 'Best Picture', they should call it 'Best Feel-Good
Picture'", h e sai<£ "And t he [Oscar]
academy wants to affirm the men who
are more like men, like Matt Damon,
rather than DiCaprio who has a little bit
of a feminine side to him; they always
want some sort of tough guy." Warming to the topic he continued, "I t hink.
. . that Good Will Hunting is total trash;
paper trash and full of cliches. Hollywood cares too much for movies that
pretend to be good movies." We agreed
that LA. Confidential should have received the Oscar for Best Picture.
I rreverent and energetic with a
spunky and spirited approach to his favorite flicks, Dr. Neelon proved a pleasurable subject indeed. If the films he
mentioned are half as interesting and
entertaining as Dr. Neelon, I highly recommend you see them all. S ee... math
professors do have personalities!
�Desperate Measures
s imply d esperate
B Y MICHAEL MILLER
Hollywood's talent is too sporadic for
my taste. It seems the movie-going public shares my taste.
I remember thinking to myself not too
long ago, "What happened to v Desperate Measures?'" Being a fan of Andy
Garcia and Michael Keaton, I was hoping to see this action/thriller.
Unfortunately, it seemed to disappear
from theaters quite quickly. Then, recently, I found that it was playing at a
local discount theater. My first thought
was, "It must be bad to have dropped
to the $1.50 theater that fast." But I
went to see it anyway.
My instincts, though, were right.
"Desperate Measures" is bad. Primarily,
it is a bad attempt at realism. Movies
don't have to be real life (as Bette Davis
said, "If you want to see real life, sit on
a park bench"), but there has to be a
happy median.
That brings us back to Hollywood tal-
ent: As we all know, there are good
movies out there that incorporate all
elements of fine cinema and box-office
draw. So obviously there is the talent
to produce them, but a lot offilmsmust
not be watched closely enough before
release. Holes in plot, character, and
(my personal peeve) realism seem as
a bundant as b ullets in an Arnold
Schwarzenegger film.
"Desperate Measures" is one of them.
The plot is set around the young son of
a San Francisco police detective (Andy
Garcia). The son has leukemia and
needs a bone marrow transplant. The
only possible donor is an ingenious
multiple murder currently in a high security prison (Michael Keaton).
Garcia gets Keaton to agree to the operation and through political support
arranges to have him brought to a
downtown prison hospital for the transplant.
yy
Up to this point, the movie proceeds
well as Keaton creates a chilling antagonist and Garcia, as usual, pours emotion into all his actions. Then, of course,
the murderous genius escapes.
From the moment he jumps the gurney, fantasy sets in. Eluding the police
that swarm the building, attaining firearms at will, and ignoring the bullet
hole in his leg are just a few of the fantasies, which proceed at a steady rate
for the rest of the movie.
Then there is Garcia's lack of concern
for all lives but his son's in his attempt
to keep Keaton alive long enough for the
transplant.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm t he only
one who sees the flaws in a movie. But,
considering how poorly this movie did
at the box office, I guess I'm not.
Hollywood is a money-making industry. But how can it allow so many bad

It's just an hour away from CSUSM,
at Perris Valley Skydiving, the largest
such drop zone in the world.
Averaging 100,000 jumps a year,
Perris is recognized worldwide as a premier skydiving facility.
It has the largest fleet of aircraft
equipped for parachute jumpers on the
West Coast. The de Havilland Dash 28
Twin Otters (twin turbo-prop engined
aircraft) carry up to 22 jumpers each
and reach altitude in less than 15 minutes.

I was excited about one of the frontpage articles of your last issue: "Faculty
recruitment a diverse proposition."
Why? Because I love diversity and
above all value fairness, so it was refreshing to catch some of the exuberance of writer Debbie Henke.
Then I gave it more thought. The values of diversity ancLequal opportunity
are good, but I'm sad to see the university make what I believe is such a regressive and intellectually shallow
stand and still have it enthusiastically
reported on in the student paper. It appears, in essence, to be an injustice ...
an injustice created by sheer lack of
thought, and an injustice to everyone
with a sense of right from wrong.
What the administration is implying
is t hat African-Americans represent
only African-Americans and Latinos
represent only, Latinos, etc., as though
various ethnicities are not representative of humanity. And what happens
when this view is put into its full context? Did not Hitler see each Jew as a
representative of all Jews? Is not bigotry a function of seeing all AfricanAmericans as representatives of their
race?
Racism is exactly that, extrapolating
the behavior or appearance of one and
applying this judgment to the piany,
utilizing an individual as a representative or symbol for their race. This is the
university's message. Only AfricanAmerican faculty can represent AfricanAmerican students
If the university's assertion is that we
are all one family, as we indeed are, then
it is demeaning to minority races, since
they are supposedly no longer capable
of representing others. I truly value the
school's intention, but the ramifications
are obvious. In its quest for racial healing, couldn't the administrators come
up with something more intelligent?
More creative? More positive?
Otherwise, the shot-term goal of hiring based on gender and race will have
its consequences. The school's actions
will be seized upon by those less inclined to thought and used to rationalize hatred for a group based on the actions of one lone individual. If it's good
enough for a school of higher education
then it's good enough for bigots. But it
is not good enough for me!

Students, with the assistance of radio instructions, control their parachute canopies.
The AFF course is the first step to becoming a licensed
skydiver or parachutist.
Tandem jumps cost $175 on weekdays, $185 during
weekends. Level 1 AFF j umps cost $275 weekdays and
$299 weekends. Group discounts are available, and students can get videotapes and photos of their j umps for
another $75
"That was the best thing I have ever done. It's hard to
explain, but it is the best "high' I have ever experienced",
said beginner Aaron Kane after his first jump. "Everyone should do this; it's worth every penny."
Said Lynn Schreck, an A-licensed parachutist and
employee at Perris Valley: "Anyone who has a sense of
adventure or a fear of heights to overcome should try
skydiving. It is the ultimate mental release."
Perris Valley, she said, has a perfect student record.
"Safety is our primary concern. Our j ump school has
attracted top-notch instructors," she added.
All student equipment at Perris Valley is state-of-theart, and both main and reserve parachutes are equipped
with Automatic Activation Devices, which kick in if a
student fails t o open his or h er chute by a preset altitude. All instructors are certified, and have gone through
extensive training.
Perris Valley Skydiving also has a swimming pool, a
pro shop and a Sports Bar & Grill.
To get to Perris Valley, take Interstate 15 north to I215 north. Take the Ethanac Road exit in Perris, and

There are currently 13 faculty searches

'The university is keen on cultural diversity, and this plays a key role in how
a search is conducted," said Richard

Ads in professional journals specifically aimed at Asians, Native Americans, Latinos, African-Americans and
women is an effective way to attract a

�Part-time Prof's cold
on labor unions
BY
L ESLIE
P EARNE
P ART-TIME PROFESSORS
around the
country are beginning to form labor
unions in an effort to secure better pay
and b enefits, according to The
Chronicle of Higher Education. But
don't hold your breath waiting for such
a move at CSUSM.
Last year, 1,000 adjunct professors at
the University of Alaska in Fairbanks
formed a union and nearly 2 ,000 parttimers in New Jersey's state colleges did
the same.
Adjuncts at Columbia College of Chicago currently are in the process of rallying in an effort for more money (a
minimum of $ 3,000 per course) and
say in decision-making.
CSUSM part-time professors who
make up slightly more than half of the
faculty are not in the process of forming a separate union. Some indeed belong to the California Faculty Association, a union representing university instructors.
Few CSUSM adjunct professors volunteered to even comment on the question.
Adjunct Professor Elizabeth Clark, the
campus' only French instructor, said
she didn't have the time to participate
in a union and also would not relish
paying the monthly dues.
Keith Dunbar, an adjunct math instructor, said he was not interested in
unionizing because his goal was in
reaching a full-time teaching position.
Both Dunbar and Clark said they liked
teaching at CSUSM and stressed that,
as adjuncts, they received positive support both from full-time faculty members and other part-time instructors.
"Dr. Stella Clark, my department head,
is very supportive of me and my ideas
with the program," said Clark.
About 225 college-level institutions
around the country have unions that
jointly represent full and part-time faculty members, according to the National Center for the Study of Collective
Bargaining in Higher Education. The
California Faculty Association represents full and part-time professors at
CSUSM, but not all faculty members
choose to join it.
The Chronicle of Higher Education
reported that it is difficult to unionize
part-tiinef instructor becaiis<£ "tKe^re
transient, they don't haveriiuchmoney
to pay dues and they are more vulnerable to firing."
But other part-timers say they see no
need to unionize since they aren't exploited, The Chronicle reported.
CSUSM has one of the youngest faculties in the country, according to
Norma Yuskos from the Public Affairs
Department. Hie high ratio of part-time
to full-time professors in the College of
Arts and Sciences reflects CSUSM's
rapid growth rate and constant academic concentration shifty she said,
adding, "This will continue until the
university finds its niche."
There are 112 full-time faculty and 113
part-time in the College of Arts and Sciences, most of whom teach exclusively.
Only one of the 10 part-time instructors in the College of Business Administration, Bahram Scherkat, teaches exclusively. The remaining nine have jobs
outside the university.
The College of Education has 57 parttimee and 27 full-time professors.
The Chronicle reported that part-timers account for more than 4 0 percent
of college faculties nationwide.. Such,

�Canine partner affords greater independence
to disabled student
B Y J ENIFER J AFFE
A "JT h en President Clinton
m I I / a dopted h is puppy
Buddy a f ew m onths
V
w
ago, he mentioned that
Franklin D. Roosevelt once said that
having a dog in the White House was a
sure way to snag some friends.
Though a canine indeed may be the
ultimate ice-breaker, there are times
when people simply pay too much attention to a dog. Just ask CSUSM senior Kristin Jensen, whose dog is close
to a necessity most of the time.
Jensen, a political science/liberal
studies major who has cerebral palsy,
adopted a 2-year-old golden retriever
f rom t he Canine C ompanions f or
Independence's Southwest Regional
Center in Oceanside.
Lee Pieterse, development associate
for the regional center, said one of the
organization's biggest dilemmas is the
frequent distraction people inadvertently provide when they pet a working
dog.
"People want to pet the dogs, that's
why they are called pets," she said. But,
she added, it takes a while for the per^
son with a disability to regain the'atT
tention of the dog.
CCR is a non-profit organization,
funded through charitable donations,
that trains service, hearing and social
dogs for people with disabilities other
than blindness.
Jensen named her dog "Eisenmenger"
(or "Eisen" for short) after a person who
had made a significant donation to the
Oceanside center. Now the two travel
just about everywhere together.
Jensen expressed frustration with the
frequent interruptions she has experienced since adopting Eisen six months
ago. "Sometimes people will pet her and
they don't even acknowledge I'm here,"
she said. "Then she gets distracted and
I spend anotherfiveminutes getting her
attention back. They don't realize she's
working. This is her job."
Initially, Jensen was hesitant to adopt.
"I didn't want to take the dog away from
someone who really needs one," she
said, adding, "I'm incredibly independent."
But that's just the type of people CCI
is looking for, because of the dogs' significant care requirements, Jensen said.
"Eisen is like a child. I have to make sure
she has water. I have to make sure she
has toilet time."
In return, Eisen helps Jensen with a
variety of daily tasks, such as pushing
elevator buttons, picking up dropped
items, flipping light switches andopeniiig; doors by pull-rop|es. Th£dogui|derstaiidsc4oflitferentcorhmVnds.'
John Segoria, the coordinator of Disabled Student Services, said Eisen is one
of only two service dogs on campus. The
other is a black Labrador guide dog. He
described Jensen's dog as "damn good,"
adding that not too many dogs have impressed him. "They definitely have their
place," he said.

i fe Source Food Bank, a food
service provider for North
. County's HIV/AIDS commu
JLmmJrn nity, has b een getting h elp
from some CSUSM sotiology graduate
students.
Beginning last fait, students in Don
Barrett's Social Research Process class
volunteered for a research project at the
Oceanside food bank to get an idea of
how a non-profit agency works. They
are now in the process of analyzing data
taken collected during that time to analyze how effective the bank Is to its clients.
"Our grad students ih^ociblogy are
learning to be applied sociologists/' said
Barrett. "So they are learning to work
within the community and conduct research."
For the first half of the fall semester,
he added, the students volunteered to
work at Life Source to become familiar
with how the food bank operated. During their work, they interviewed a number of the clients to get a sense of how
the agency was perceived.
Then, they developed a questionnaire
to evaluate how satisfied the clients
were with the service. "We collected that
data during the winter and we're analyzing it now," said Barrett. "We'll
present the information to Life Source
in the spring."
"For the most part, the clients were
receptive in helping the students complete the surveys," said Steven Copelin,
director of the bank. "If there was any
hesitation in not doing the survey, it
was because of the length."
In addition, the students learned that
Life Source was an important social setting for North County residents with
HIV/AIDS, Barretfsaid. "It's not only a
food source, but a place where people
can go and talk to other people," he
added. "It also serves as a meeting
ground in getting information to new
treatments, doctors and how to handle
the case management system."
Copeland agreed. "It is a very social
atmosphere," he said. "The clients don't
mind talking to other people."
For many in the class, it was*the first
time they had been involved with an

C.S. and U.C. systems bank on new energy agreement
BY
R ICHARD
T he P ride
M AUSER
T • 1 h e Cal State and UC systems,
taking advantage of opportuni
ties in the new deregulated electricity market, recently signed a new energy agreement that will save the two
state institutions more than $15 million.
The four-year agreement with Enron
Energy Services of Houston, Texas,
guarantees the two university systems
a 5 percent discount on their annual
electricity costs.
This will result in estimated savings
of $1.5 million a year for CSU.
Under the agreement, Enron will provide electricity to all 2 2 CSU campuses
arid all nine UC campuses. It is the largest direct-access electrical energy contract in the country.
"It's a good deal," said Tom Blair, director of Facility Services at CSUSM.
But he added that he will have to wait
for more information on the campus'
energy usage before he can say exactly
how much CSUSM will save, CSUSM
now spends nearly $ 700,000 per year
on its energy costs, according to Blair.
CSUSM will not have to make any
major changes to facilitate the new energy provider, Blair said, adding that the
only change will be in the university's
main metering system.
Enron will install its Interactive Metering Solution, the only nation-wide
wireless metering system, on all 31 campuses. It allows constant monitoring of
energy consumption, thus providing
school officials with a way to control
any sudden increases in energy usage.
Enron also will work with CSUSM to
realize even greater savings by reducing t he c onsumption of e lectricity
through an extensive package of energy
services.
In this package, Enron will provide the
university with strategic savings plans
and will conduct annual workshops
dedicated to energy services. Additional
services such as account preparation,
commodity and customer services and
billing will also be included.
The collaboration between the two
university systems is part of an effort
by CSU to increase productivity so it can
channel more resources away from administrative costs and toward educational services for students.
"By working together, UC and CSU
have been able to leverage our size to
obtain the maximum pricing advantage," said Richard West, CSU senior
vice chancellor for Business and Finance. "These are the kind of collaborations we will continue to seek in the
future as we address the challenge of access to quality higher education in a
time of expanding enrollment and limited resources."
The UC and CSU systems previously
have used their combined buying power
to purchase such things as furniture
and scientific equipment.

H
a ve you ever felt
like someone was
p eeping at y ou
through the space
separating the bathroom door
from the floor? Have you ever
sat in class, not understanding
a word the professor is saying?
If so, you have something in
common with Yasuko Fujita,
an i nternational s tudent at
CSUSM.
Fujita thought she knew everything about life in America.
She had an American friend,
watched American television
programs and movies and read
books about the USA. What
s he f ound o ut, t hough, w as
that life in America was noth?
iftg like the monies.
Fujita came from Chiba, Japan, a city close t o Tokyo, 2"
years ago t o study at CSUSM.
Rather than follow the path of
m ost international s tudents
w ho begin their s tudies at a
community college, she chose
to jump right into the rigorous
studies of CSUSM's Literature
and Writing program.
At 2 6 years old, she said she
felt "too old" to study at a Japanese university. There, a ma-
jority of students are no older
than 21.
Here, Fujita was pleasantly
surprised to find that she was
often among the youngest i n
her classes.
l i f e as a CSUSM student was
n ot e asy. There w ere b athrooms with "peep-holes" and
professors who spoke in a language she couldn't understand.
She didn't know the first thing
about writing papers. But she
knew where to look for help.
She s pent many hours in
CSUSM's Writing Center. She
w as there s o much that her
-friends began t o wonder if she
w ere l iving t here. She a lso
spent many hours in the computer lab.
But she found more than just
academic assistance in both.
She m et m any p eople and
formed many friendships. "I
made lots of opportunities to
u se t he English language,%o
s he says. Si went t o church,
school and the library, instead
of going to Japanese communities."
But that, she said, was critical t o learning English and
American culture.
With persistence and the help
of her professors and friends,
Fujita began understanding
"What the professors were saying. She became able to write
papers on her own. She also
learned where the best places
t o eat were.
Two years after beginning her
career at CSUSM, she graduated with honors and earned a
degree in Literature and Writing Studies.
After graduating, she decided
that she wanted to teach Japanese to American students. To
prepare for the application process for graduate school, she
completed a research project
studying the language acquisition process of Japanese students learning English. She
also began studying a third language ... Spanish.
Her hard work paid off and
she was accepted to the graduate program starting this fall at
the University of Washington.
When asked what advice she
would give to other international students, s he replied,
"Keep working, study hard, and
your goal WILL b e a ccomplished."

CSU Trustee Ralph Pesqueira
will visit CSUSM on March 19
as part of t he u niversity's
Trustee in Residence program.
Carol J. Bonomo, an assistant
to CSUSM President Gonzales
and Director of Legislative &
Civic Affairs, started the program this year as a means of
getting the university more recognition at the state level.
"My hope for students is that
Pesqueira will carry the word
for Cal State San Marcos and
say why we need more buildings, why we need a library,"
said Bonomo. "To me a Trustee
is the same as a legislator be-
cause he is the one who is going t o carry my case t o the
state."
Bonomo is striving to get one
trustee on campus eveiy spring
and one legislator on campus
every fall. Assemblyman Bill
Morrow of Oceanside appeared
last fall. Pesquira is the second
trustee.
"The neat thing is, sure we
can talk about it (our campus),
but he is going to get to see it,
see it up-close," said Bonomo.
Pesqueira, an alumnus of
SDSU and owner/president of
E llndio Shops Inc., has represented t he CSU at every
tional education.

not for him.
Then h e c onsidered b ecoming a
teacher, he says, but decided a tutorial
role would be a better fit. "If the kids
have things going on at home, which is
the case quite a bit of the time, they're
not going to be focused on their academics because there's more emotional
needs on their minds," he adds.
"That's when I really just love getting
to hang out with the kids and talk with
them and work through some of their
problems. As a teacher, I would get to
do that, but you're most focused on the
academic."
Morales hopes his tutoring center will
have a long-term impact on students.
"Growing up, I saw how it was easy to
get involved in a gang or easy to not care
about academics, easy to continue the
cycle of going through the motions," he
says.
"Like finishing high school but then
just going straight into the work force
in a job that really wasn't going to challenge you, and you weren't going to
make a whole lot of money.
"I want them to be challenged and enjoy what they're doing and maybe go on
to college and get an education and do
something where they really feel great
about themselves."
His center has become more than just
a homework haven. "Most of the kids
that are here are Hispanic kids," he says.
"The majority of kids referred from
CSUSM are Anglo kids. It's great because we don't just want to be a tutoring place. We want to be a place where
some of the racial and cultural barriers
are broken down.
"They have t o learn t o work with
someone who is not part of their same
culture and break down some stereotypes from both ends."
The center has four rooms: a study
room with tables and bookshelves, a
computer room with three computers
and a p rinter, a m ain room w ith
couches and more tables and a garage
that serves as Morales' bedroom.
It's open Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., and three tutors come each day. One is a former high
school student whom Morales tutored.
The center is completely funded by
E mmanuel Faith, a church i n
Escondido where Morales is also an intern.
Before he began the center, Morales
researched two similar sites in Los Angeles. "I'm not doing this from scratch,"
he says. "If someone's already doing it,
why try to reinvent the wheel?"
Morales says he's seen many positive
things already. "A couple of girls who
come were expelled from school for doing something they shouldn't have, but
now they're f ired up about s chool.
They're in independent study and they
bring their work and they work really
hard all night long.
"We work with them setting goals
each night. We ask them what their
goals are for the day. We ask if they're
realistic goals. If they are, then we encourage them t o work hard to meet
those goals.
"One girl's GPA jumped nearly a full
p pin^frbma i .8 to a 2.6."
A math teacher from San Pasqual also
helps out. Recently, one of his students
who hadn't performed strongly in quizzes scored 19 out of 20.
One of Morales' students says he
comes because he needed to raise his
grades: "They help me with my work,"
he adds. "Hector gets good tutors to
c ome in. I come by myself, but my
f riends c ome, too, and we work'on
things together because we have classes
together.
Just a another busy night in Hector Morales' Escondido home
"We don't have computers at home,
but we work on them when we come
here. It's close enough to walk."
Sometimes the center is so crowded
that students have to sit on the porch
steps because there isn't enough room
inside. But that isn't a huge handicap,
students' say.. As one girl puts it, "The
tutors pay more attention to us here
than at school." Only four months after opening the center, Morales says he
is considering a move. "We started this
knowing that it would grow but we
didn't know how rapidly," h e adds.
"Right now we're discussing the possibility of moving to a bigger facility to
accommodate other kids."
The center's program may eventually
reach beyond tutoring. "My dream is
also to incorporate a sports program
and t o do gang prevention programs
possibly," Morales says. "One of the
things on my heart really is kids who
get involved in gangs. Many of them are
totally bright, but they feel like they
want to belong to a group. Those are the
kids I really want to reach out to."
Morales wants the center to be around
for a long while. "This is something I'm
in for the long haul, not just the next
five years, ten years," he adds.
"If I could, I would love to do something in this capacity for the rest of my
life until I can't do it anymore. If I get
too old to work with young people, I'd
love to train adults in how to work with
young people. "I definitely want to do
something for the Latino community,
which I feel is very needed. My reward
is the kids."
Memoirs of CSUSM 'Superwomen'
B Y J OHN
I
F RESCA
t's a student. It's a mother. It's a wife.
No, it's Super woman. In celebration of
Women's Herstory Month, female CSUSM
students read personal memoirs to com
memorate the essence of womanhood. Their
voices expressed the extraordinary experiences of ordinary women.
The genre of memoir, as host Susan Fellows explained, "is a window in one's life." The women who
shared their memoirs in March, she added, illustrated
the ability of women's writings to transform seemingly unimportant details into powerfully and emotional-charged sentiments.
The women who recited their memoirs allowed the
audience t o truly feel the e motions behind their
memories, she added. Some of the highlights included:
The innocent childhood memory of being a fanatically religious Cubs fan in the 1960s in Chicago, where
A TRIBUTE TO W OMEN'S H ERSTORY
on Sundays praise was rejoiced with "a Hallelujah,
an Amen and a Play Ball."
The emotional story of another woman's "brown
bomb," her jalopy of a car, that symbolized her freedom and her courageous triumph over an abusive
husband.
The humorous account of a mother's respect for her
daughter's s tubbornness in not giving up o n a
"lunchable" in the supermarket that the mother decreed was not to be bought.
The narrative of a psychologist's wife who balanced
the many roles she had to fulfill: wife, mother, worker
and student.
The laughable explanation of a woman who explained her love of "beer-drinking dachshund dogs"
and "big-nose men."
The nostalgic piece about a 13-year-old-girl who remembered moving away from "the purple lady, the
baseball boys" and the neighborhood she called home.
M ONTH
The memory of friendship, of unconditional support, of a pregnant teenaged girl w ho recognized
that her b est friend would be there when she gave
birth.
The touching remembrance of a young girl's first
date.
The satirical recollection of a youthful girl who
encountered Catholicism, Protestantism and a rector in England in July 1966.
The adventurous excerpt of a young lady who in
1960, with her family, moved from Southern California to Nigeria, landing in the midst of a civil war.
And finally, the reminiscence of woman's grandmother who was just as beautiful a person on the
outside as s he was on the inside.
Although these memoirs, as Fellows said, were
only a "small view" in the memories, they were powerful portrayals showing that Women's Herstory
Month really is a celebration of all women.
�-Faculty
stresses that the university also is sensitive to reverse discrimination, and
adds, "Ultimately, the best candidate is
chosen, regardless of their race or gender."
What attracts educators to CSUSM?
Many factors, Cordero says, depending
on the individual. Location, size and the
school's growing academic reputation
are some of the main reasons h e has
been given by candidates for choosing
San Marcos, he adds.
Bud Morris, t he Communications
Department's program director w ho
was hired last fall, cites the composition
of the student body as a reason why
many want to teach here. "The large
number of re-entry students who are
serious about their studies make this a
desirable place to teach," he adds. The
Communications Department hopes to
hire two new professors for next fall.
High salaries, however, are not one of
the university's selling points. A large
gap exists between the salaries in the
CSU system and other comparable institutions, according to Karas.
Despite the lower pay scale, CSUSM
typically will receive dozens of applications for any given position, says Karas.
A search t eam c omposed of faculty
members will screen letters from applicants to narrow the list for any vacancy
to^approximately 15-20,
'' rhbrie' ihferi^f&vvS me3kfharrow tiie
field to a maximum of six applicants,
who are invited t o campus. Some candidates are even invited to teach a class
to gain a sense of how students will respond to them.
Student reaction to potential professors plays an important role. "You get
to see how a prospective faculty member engages a student," Cordero says.
from page 1
"A candidate may look really good on
paper, but really bomb in the classroom. All this is looked at."
Stacy King, a junior communications
major who watched an applicant teach
a sociology class, said, Si think it's good
w e get the chance to see to these people
teach, as long as it's relevant to the
class."
Students are then given evaluation
forms to rate the applicant's performance. Final hiring decisions are made
by the deans of the respective colleges
and the faculty, with Karas and Cordero
giving feedback throughout the process.
Cordero expects 12 new faculty members to be hired for the fall 1998 semester, compared to eight new positions
last fall.
Another six professors were hired last
fall to replace departing faculty. Continuing growth of CSUSM could mean
the addition of 15-17 new faculty members each year for the foreseeable future.
But funding could b e a stumbling
block. "Currently the university has one
of the lowest student-faculty ratios in
t he Cal S tate s ystem," s ays Karas.
"Which is great, but it is also hard to
afford.
"With 535 new students expected next
year,,jsome think .we should hire a certain number of faculty an& I am saying,
v
No, we shouldn't.'"
Karas said the university needs that
money for other things, like the library
collection, computer labs, technicians
and clerical support for faculty. The
q uestion of h ow many n ew faculty
should be hired is an issue that the faculty and administration continue to
struggle with, he adds

Kissing a Fool a n
e motional g auntfet
BY
S
L ODIA
O RAMAS
inding love is an odyssey that
captivates even the strong at
heart. Moving from one rela
tionship to another throughout our lives makes up the essence of
who we are.
The movie, "Kissing a Fool," tests the
notion of how far friendship really goes.
Part of the quest to find the perfect life
partner, it postulates, is realizing who
you are.
Told through a narrator, it pits two
best friends, David Schwimmer (as Max
a TV sportscaster) and Jason Lee (as
Jay, an author) in a test of sorts. Max
falls for a successful, beautiful woman
(Sam, played by Mili Avital) who also
happens t o be Jay's editor. The two
quickly move in together and get engaged. But Max begins to have doubts
and decides that for him t o truly know
whether Sam is his perfect mate, a test
is in order. He asks Jay to find out if
Sam really will remain faithful.
The only problem is that Jay already
has fallen in love with Sam.
Finding love was no easy task to begin with for any of the three, but, in the
end, they find that love truly does exist
... not only in relationships, but also in
friendships.
"Kissing a Fool" is enjoyable on different l evels. It p uts t he a udience
through an emotional gauntlet that includes comedy, friendship, love and
heartbreak.
Though it deals with issues that everyone can relate to, the movie crosses
a line that most people just wouldn't
want to. In the end, though, its heartwarming twist is a pleasant and welcome relief.
As Jay says to Max, "What if I missed
out on the girl who is?*
"Kissing a Fool" is a thought-provoking tale that shouldn't be missed out on.

Do ' diversity' and

Dear EditorIn your last issue you published an
article re: the proposed track and field
facility in which President Joe Faltaous
is quoted as saying that "students need
to realize that they belong to this campus and that this campus belongs to
them." After reading another article a
few pages later I asked myself "do they
really?"
I am referring to the entry announcing the Eleventh Annual Cal-State San
Marcos Ball - to be held "at the elegant
Four Season Resort at Aviara on Saturday April 2nd." t ickets are slated at
$150 each. Or $ 300 per couple!! The
proceeds will be used purportedly for
"the university's highest priority needs,
including: student scholarships, the
purchase of instructional equipment
and faculty recruitment."
I asked several of my friends on campus if they had heard anything about
this function prior to having read the
announcement in the newspaper and all
said t hey had not. While many expressed an interest in attending-all
thought the price of admission too expensive.
What happened to furthering the
s pirit of c ommunity and harmony
within the campus body itself? What

have the opportunity to participate in
this'gala event'?
With the price of admission set at an
exclusionary $ 300 per couple, this apparently is not high on the list of Ms.
Shelley Lindstom's ('a Rancho Santa Fe
philanthropist') organizing committee.
Quite the contrary, the entire affair
seems to be a celebration not of diversity but an elitist showcase of pomp and
circumstance - one in which only the
very affluent can afford to participate.
In reality- it is the student-body that
makes Cal-State University San Marcos
work! That thought may come as a
shock to the likes of Ms. Lindstrom.
Without us, none of the faculty and infrastructure and million dollar exercise
facilities would matter at all. And so I
ask you- where is our gala? Where is our
party? Where is our celebration? They
are nowhere to be found-and that needs
to change. Now!
Clearly, the students of this university
deserve to attend this event more than
anyone else! I implore the organizing
Committee to RECOGNIZE THIS AT
ONCE! ( A b oycott could be VERY
EMBARASSING!) By making tickets
available to students AT A REDUCED
COST - they could work to right this
glaringly obvious wrong. Just as other
activities offer student rates (movies,
athletic games, etc.) - so too could this
one at between $25 or $75. $ 300 per
couple is exceptionally confiscatory
considering the average student earns
well under seven dollars per hour after
taxes. While it is easy to pay lip-service
to the prospect of including all students
"in the community" while celebrating
"diversity"- not every student here at
this school drives an MBZ to and from
the family compound in Rancho Santa
Fe.- Ms. Iindstom. Most of us live in
the real world. And in that real world
are real responsibilities.
At $ 300 per couple— this event is elitist, it is exclusionary and it is a slap in
the face of'diversity.' We might as well
change the name of bur beloved Tukwut
back to Cougar! (Ms. Lindstrom would
probably like that more anyway.) There
are many hard-working students at this
university who would love to attend this
'gala event' if the costs were affordable.
$ 300 per couple may seem reasonable
to 'a noted Rancho Santa Fe philanthropist' -but to the average student- that's
just too darn much money. And it is
high time that the leadership on this
campus stopped paying lip-service to
slogans like 'diversity' and 'together*
n€ss* and started addressing the very
real and glaring inconsistencies in instances like this one.

Dear Editor:
I would like to comment on Dr. Curry's elitist
statement in her interview with Scott Bass that "Litwriting students are the only persons left on the
planet who on any given weekday take time to ourselves (for
themselves?) to read. Lit-writing students are the
last remaining vestige of what it really means to be
a true intellectual...which is to read." •
I am a retired teacher who takes literature classes
at CSUSM for my own enjoyment, not for credit. I
read a book a week for my current class and a book
a month for my book club, which is affiliated with
AAUW. I also read two newspapers a day. My husband reads the newspapers, non-fiction books, and
can hardly wait for "Harpers" and "The Atlantic
Monthly" to arrive in the mail. Our married daughter, the mother of a three-year old son, is a voracious reader who finds time to read one or two
books/week, two daily newspapers, and numerous
magazines. Almost all of our friends are readers,
and the women in my book group, all of whom I
would call intellectuals and lead very busy lives, find
time to read on a daily basis.
I think it's time for Dr. Curry to come down from
her ivory tower and meet the commoners in the
real world.

improving his or her writing skills, it
could be well worth searching out.
It's the Writing Center, tucked into

Technically, it's room number is

you walk into 3106, past the ASPIRE

B Y C HRIS O ZOLS
Future Literature and Writing teachers
m aybe able to wave goodbye to the expensive Praxis and SSAT tests for admission in t he c redential p rogram,
thanks to CSUSM's waiver program.
Last summer, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing accredited CSUSM's Single Subject Preparation Program in English.
The program prepares students for
the one-year credential program by offering combinations of courses that in
essence replace the tests.
The Praxis and the SSAT are twohour tests, costing $200 each. Susie Lan
Cassel, coordinator of the Single Subject Preparation Program in English,
described them as "incredibly difficult."
Indeed, last October, 49 percent of the
students who took the SSAT failed.
The preparation program is divided
into three phases. First, all waiver students must complete the core classes.
Second, similar to the bachelor's degree
program, students choose an emphasis
either in writing or literature.
They must complete 15 units from
that emphasis with a minimum GPA of
2.7 in all waiver classes. Third, a portfolio documenting a student's academic
growth must be compiled at the end of
the program.
The program is approximately 15
units more than the baqhelors degree,
Field
depending on the courses taken. But,
unlike the bachelor's program, junior
college c redits c ount t owards t he
waiver. Once 8 0 percent of the waiver
classes are completed, students are eligible to apply to the credential program.
Academic Advisor Lora Coad and
Cassel encourage t hose t hinking of
teaching careers to have an evaluation

waiver. Bring an appointment letter to

nors for additional projects, h e said.
After developing the recreation field,
CSUSM could initiate soccer, golf, and
track and field programs, helping t o
lead to eventual membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA), Gonzalez said a t t he t ime.
Lynch said defeat of the proposal would
show t he community "we d on't care
about having recreation facilities."
Since student fees will be reduced by
5 percent next year, she added, students
would pay about $5 less than this year
even if the $35 increase is approved.
CSUSM students already enjoy the
lowest tuition and AS fees in the statewide system, Faltaous said. Gonzalez
told the North County Times previously
that an anonymous donor offered the
university $150,000 to start the project
two years ago. Since that time, $50,000
has been spent on studies to determine
the cost of t he project, estimated at
about $1 million, he adcled.
Faltaous said he hopes students will
support the proposal not just because
a recreation center is needed, but also
because a viable sports program might
help to decrease the apathy many students have for the university in general.
While the academic life on campus is
extraordinary, he added; development
of more clubs, organizations and student g overnment is d efinitely still
needed. "Students need to realize they
belong to the campus and the campus
belongs to them," he added.
The fee increase proposal has generated mixed feelings on campus, however.
AS Secretary Erik Dawson said he
probably would not s upport it as it
stands because AS would not have control over the account. "Since students
would ultimately pay for the recreation
facility, s tudents shquld control t he
funds," he added.
Dawson pointed out that AS and the
University Foundation have differed in
the past on a few key issues, including
the perceived monopolies held by Duplication Services and Aztec Shops on
campus.
Student control of the athletic account, he argued, "would give the AS
more cards to play with when we sit
down and negotiate something."
Dawson also said he would not support the proposal without some form of
t ermination clause, a dding t hat h e
would h ate to see the fee still in place
20 years from now, with generated revenue going toward such things as watering grass on campus.
Lynch said students could vote out
the $35 increase after six years. Several
students said they liked the proposal.
Daniel Huey, a transfer student from
Mira Costa Community College, said he
would support the increase, adding, "In
college, there's a time for study and a
time for other recreation.
A track would be a place to exercise
the body, not just the mind."
Huey said h e t hought t he track
would be good for the community in
general, and would give parents somewhere to take their children that didn't
cost money.
Though junior Zuri Williams conceded that "we need some sort of athletic (facility) on campus," she said she
wouldn't support the mandatory fee.
It would be better, she added, to raise.
the funds through donations. One senior said she thought the idea of a new
t rack a nd f ield s ounded g reat, b ut
a§ked, "Why is it coming out of t he
student's pocket? I don't think students
need to be burdened with more fees."
Brittney Leavitt, a 16-year-old San
Marcos High School student who intends to enter CSUSM after graduation,
said she would support the proposed fee
as a university student. "I think it would
get t he school m ore involved," s he
added. "I would use it."

Parking woes still affect
most students
my
B Y JAMES GATES
Finding parking on campus is
no f un. But getting a parking
ticket is even less f un.
But that's,what may be in
store for a number of students.
CSUSM's Parking Services h as
laid down t he law: There is n o
"grace period" for parking violations.
Some 165 students got that
message the hard way, by being issued tickets i n t he f irst
two weeks of classes, 110 in the
f irst week, 75 in t he second.
T hat's a p er^week r ate of
r dughly d ouble t he a verage
week in the previous semester.
Parking coordinator Dora
K noblock c ited " continued
abuse" as the reason for the nononsense approach and added,
"This is not an exception, it will
be the rule."
Half of those ticketed had
n ot d isplayed .valid p arking
permits. "If (ticketing) gets students to purchase parking permits", s aid Knoblock, " then
what we are doing is working."
The other half, with permits,
simply were parked in u nau-
thorized places or lots. When
asked if such tickets is a symptom of t he problem or t he solution, Knoblock paused a nd
replied, "I'm inclined to say it's
a solution."
Parking tickets cost the recipients $20. A late payment,
after 21 days, adds another $10.
A p arking p ermit costs $54.
Checks (made out t o "CSUSM
parking") are acceptable payment.
University officials know
spaces are still at a premium,
b ut some 100 new spots were
o pened t his s emester in t he
P alomar-Pomerado H ealth
Systems Center, across Twin
Oaks Valley Road f rom t he
c ampus. By a nd l arge,
Knoblock says, these spaces are
still n ot b eing fully utilized.
Shuttle service from that lot is
available Monday-Friday, 10
a.m.-3 p.m. Knoblock says the
shuttles, too, are underutilized.
In addition to that and the
main Student lot, a t hird one
(Lot 3) is available j ust past t he

m ixed r esponse. M any s tudents said they were aware of
t he a dded l ots, b ut s tressed
t hat t hey w ere t oo f ar away
from classes to be helpful.
"I usually plan to be here an
hoiir early t o find good parking for morning classes," said
one, J ames Harris.
H elping a b it is t hat
CSUSM's e nrollment f or t he
spring semester is down from
slightly from last fall. Though
final enrollment figures were
not complete, Richard Riehl,
executive d irector of e nrollment services, said h e did not
"expect an increase over fall
enrollment."
CSUSM also h as plans for
a nother new lot, a djacent t o
Lot 3, which will add 590 new
spaces. Some 4 6 new spaces
also will b e added to the upper

Among the many features of
the new system is the San Diego Library Circuit, through
which s tudents can r equest
from over 4 million books collected at the libraries of UCSD,
SDSU and t he University of
San Diego. Once requested, the
books will arrive at the CSUSM
library by t he next b usiness
day.
Reid called the system "wonderful" and a "real bargain,"
considering the increased access offered to students. "This
system does not exist many
places in the United States,"
she added.
»
Reid said the library staff is
also working to provide more
electronic access, while continuing to add more volumes
on site. The library stores over
half of its collection offsite, in
the Foundation Building (the
annex), which is aceessible only
t hrough c ourier. S tudents/
h owever, c annot b rowse
through this part of the collection; they must request a particular book, then wait one day
for delivery.
^ e library piaps t oadd onsite shelving in the near future,
but finding a location has become a problem. Structurally,
only certain p arts of Craven
Hall can handle the weight of
the books. The central part of
the "U" in the building can accommodate it, b ut no open
space exists for shelves. The
back area of the third floor in
the library remains available,
and t he staff is studying t he
possibility of immediate expansion.
The amount of library space
available for students has also
become an issue. The library
currently has 263 "reader sta-

Dot.Comm comes to town
B Y LODIA ORAMAS
How many times have you had a complaint about a program or a club not being available at CSUSM? How many times have you done something about it?
One communications major, Quito Washington did do something. His thoughts and
concerns about the communications program at CSUSM led to action, the formation of
a new club called Dot. Comm. He's present secretary of the newest group on campus to
liave a voice.
President Brian Frye, who also is majoring in communications, and Washington
thought the name Dot. Comm. would fit the club perfectly. Both are also specialists in
utilizing the Internet.
The club will have its next meeting on March 6.
Dot. Comm., which Frye says has 60 people "already interested," was organized in
the middle of the fall semester. Its goals include focus groups in which small groups can
target an area of interest, a book-share program, internships, scholarships and networking with San Diego State University's Communications Club.
Frye and Washington shared the sentiment that communications majors virtually were
without a voice on campus. As one junior put it, "CSUSM just doesn't offer very much to
communication majors."
Dot. Comm. seeks to change that.
Fiye said the club is looking for members, particularly ones interested in serving on
its various committees. Interested students can visit Dot. Commas web site at
WWW.csusm.edu/puhlic/dotcomm.

of J im Morrison, takes it home, sets it
u p as a shrine in t he basement and
drunkenly dances before it, "a balding

candlelight." The images described are
religious, and I asked Kennedy if B, in
effect, was worshipping a n alternate
god.
"We all need something t o
alleviate t he emptiness t hat pours into
u s in unguarded moments. Morrison
a nd t he other images in t he b asement
represent B's temple of saints, their
eyes upon him. Through t hem h e
creates his own religious rituals.
Religion is a means of easing t he awful
anxiety of a world r un by chance."
Chance? I asked Kennedy.
No planned destiny? No gods deciding
o ur fate?
"Once I saw a big-headed boy
bouncing a ball o n t he sidewalk. H ie
ball hit t he kid in t he head a nd fluked
crazily away, him chasing it. Some-
times I see t hat as a reflection of the

"And yet maybe not without

makes u s want t o seek darkness as

Now,
m ultimedal-winning
Olympian diver Greg Louganis
has turned the video camera on
himself with "Looking to t he
Light," a b ehind-the-scenes
glimpse of his personal life since
his ground-breaking biography,
"Breaking the Siirface."
"So many people asked me if
I was doing another book after
"Breaking the Surface,' and I
just didn't want to go through
t hat w hole p rocess," s aid
Louganis f rom h is h ome in
Malibu. "So when the director
of the film version (produced by
the USA Network) approached
me a bout doing t he video I
thought it was a perfect compromise."
A n ative of San Diego,
Louganis has been a competiIIW^I

tive diver since the age of 10.
Still in his teens, he won a silver
medal in the 1976 Olympics and
by the age , of 30 had won four
Olympic gold m edals. In
" Breaking t he S urface,"
Louganis traced his rise to diving stardom, an ascent filled
with several obstacles.
He was taunted by schoolmates because of his brown skin
(he was put up for adoption by
his biological mother, a Caucasian, and Samoan father) and
dyslexia which went unnoticed
until his teens. He grew up with
an abusive father, battled substance-abuse p roblems, a ttempted suicide and eventually
came to terms with being gay.

fall as a benefit for the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AMFAR), many in at-

A n ew r ecreational
soccer team for gay men named
the San Diego Breakers Soccer
Club is now recruiting players
of all ages and skill levels for its
roster, with Monday evening,
practices set to begin March 9.
The club is being 6rganized by two San Diego area
men, Kelly Sieben* M.D., a family practice physician at Sharp
Rees-Stealy Medical Group,
who lives in Scripps Ranch, and
J ohn B aril, a H uman Resources computer professional
for Scripps Clinic and resident
of La Jolla.
1 Baril and Sieben both
a re l ongtime soccer players.
Baril started playing with t he
San Diego Sparks gay soccer
team 11 years ago and contin-
tendance were moved by what
u nfolded on t he video. The
emotions ran the gamut from
laughter to tears.
"That's one of the things that
was m issing f rom t he TV
movie," said Louganis.
"It wasn't a very realistic view
of people living with AIDS on a
day-to-day basis. The video is
more honest and candid."'
And it is. Throughout "Looking t o t he Light," we see
Louganis deal with the cost of
expensive and complicated new
AIDS treatments as well as returning to old habits that would
interfere with his HIV.
But t here are lighter moments, too. Much of the last few
years has seen Louganis traveling cross-country speaking on
college campuses and appearing
at countless book signings. Another highlight is a video diary
of Louganis achieving a recent
goal: completing the 1997 California AIDS Ride, a 500-mile
plus bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
Like other documentaries of
its genre, the video takes an unflinching look at a man still
coming to terms with his evolution into a role modeLforth$
gay and HIV/AIDS communities. "I'm not comfortable being seen as a role model. I don't
t hink I'll ever b e," said
Louganis. "Everybody is human
u es t o p lay w ith t he t eam.
Sieben played five years with
the Sparks, until last year.
Their goal is f or t he
Breakers to join the San Diego
County Soccer League by the
time main season competition
begins next October. The team
also plans to play in the Black
M ountain 7 on 7 s ummer
league and possibly ongoing
indoor play at Folsom's sports
facility in North Park.
" We're o pen t o gay
male players of all skill levels,"
said Sieben. "All ages are eligible, and experience is not
necessarily required. Willingness to play and a good attitude
are what's important."
M ore e xperienced
skilled players looking for a serious competitive team will be
referred to the Sparks.
Initially, the Breakers
is soliciting players for its 18man roster. "If there are more
people interested, we wouldn't
turn them away. Anyone is welcome to come to practice and
other club social get4ogethers,"
Sieben said, noting t hat first
practice is at 6 p.m. on March
9.
The B reakers would
complement the Sparks, which
recently announced plans to
become more competitive. "We
hope both teams will benefit
f rom our recruiting efforts,"
said Sieben.
He e xplained t hat,
"Well differ from them in that
our playing time will be preferentially f or gay guys, a nd
t here will b e more equitable
p laying t ime r egardless of
skill."
While anyone may attend practice, those who are
selected for the team roster will
pay monthly dues, although
the amount hasn't been determined, Sieben added. Baril and
Sieben say they plan to secure
a lit practice field.

The Mountain High Compromise
B Y D AN LA BELLE
Sure, you'd like t o head t o Mammoth
Mountain this weekend. Every skier/
snowboarder would.
Carving t he first tracks through fresh
powder is t he highlight of any winter
season. •
i But what if you only have a da3Ktb'&kii:
>
o fride? You knbw t he situation: test on
Monday in history^ p resentation in literature
on Tuesday, and
so o n. But you
still want to experience t he
snow.
In that case, local mountains are your
only choice. And when you think local
mountains Big Bear immediately comes
to mind. But t hat might not b e the best
choice.
Mountain High is located about 2"
h ours n orth o n I nterstate 15 i n
Wrightwood in t he San B ernardino
N ational F orest. C omprised of two
separate resorts, an east and west, it
offers varied terrain for both beginner
and advanced skiers/snowboarders.
The west resort has long and widegroomed trails serviced by a high-speed,
quad chairlift. It is the most popular of
the two resorts for skiers because of its
wide and clean runs.
The east resort features Fault Line, a
full-sized, snowboard terrain park with
a series of man-made launches and a
good-sized half pipe for both beginning
and advanced riders.
But what makes Mountain High a
good day-trip choice is t hat it requires
no mountain driving. That's right, no
winding roads. While the slopes t hemselves are snow-covered, the roads are
usually not.
This convenience comes at a cost,
t hough. "Most of t he snow is m anmade. It doesn't have the same feel as
real powder," says Chris Sorensen, an
avid skier for 14 years.
Adds intermediate snowboarder Josh
Waters, "The slopes are crowded on the
weekends. Sometimes they even sell out
of rental equipment."
At $35 for an
eight-hour l ift
ticket, it's not
t he best value
either.
*
However, Mountain High's closeness
can make the difference between ^ et-
r
Flicks
f rom p a g e 9
ting to t he slopes and staying home,
especially in the middle of a semester.
You can avoid the crowds by showing u p early. The resorts open at 8 a.m.
daily. Arriving early also will guarantee
that you can rent whatever equipment
you need.
An a lternative would b e t o visit
Mountain High at night when it is less
crowded. The east resort offers night
skiing on 75 percent of its runs, including all of the Fault Line terrain park.
It may not be what winter vacation
d reams a re m ade of. But M ountain
High is a compromise between that sixpage research paper due on a Monday
and having a little winter f un.
as any teenager does however, as with
t he characters in Drugstore Cowboy,
Dr. Curry points out, "These are people
o ur society, h as d eemed d ifficult t o
love, difficult to care a bout.. . a film
director can get an audience to take a
look at these folks and spark a germ
inside of us t hat says, 'I feel compassion here', 1 can love the most unlovable".
River's Edge will certainly spark some
serious conversation regarding difficult decisions and the people we love.
Discussing two of h er favorite films
arid their appeal, Dr. Curry posed a
v ery r eal arid r eflective q uestion,
"What about those among us that are
so difficult to love?
What happens if through art,
you can find a speck of yourself inside
these people, can you then see something human, a connection to humanity?" Both D rugstore Cowboy a nd
R iver's Edge will p rovide f ood f or
thought.
