The Rancho Bernardo Inn graciously hosted approximately 200 CSUSM students, faculty, and staff—serving them a dinner of chicken and poached salmon. Students were encouraged to attend the extravagant "suit and tie" affair at a cost of $15 dollars per student. Many of the club members in attendance were also given invitations for friends and family to attend the event. University President Alexander Gonzalez; Executive Vice President, Dr. Ernie Zomalt; Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Richard Karas; and ASI Executive Director, Darlene Willis, were also in attendance. Waleed Delawari, ASI President, master of ceremonies, commented that the awards event was "truly for the students." The first hour of the event awarded members of the Board of Trustees, members of the current administration, and past ASI presidents who also gave speeches that evening. Delawari honored the former ASI Presidents, Charles Ragland and David Alimi, Joseph Faultous, and President Elect, Dean Manship. Numerous plaques and statuettes were also handed out in honor of student government leadership. The keynote speaker, Dr. Ernie Zomalt, was among the honorees that received awards for his role in establishing CSUSM student government. The last half-hour of the event honored a majority of campus clubs, including Greek institutions, Dance and Arts, MEChA, and the Victorious Club. The event seemed to go off without a hitch, until ASI went to award a member of the Victorious Club--a student organization that works to achieve equal rights and privileges for the physically challenged. However, it appeared that ASI overlooked wheelchair access to the stage, unknowingly preventing Penny Lanese from receiving her award in a timely manner. Prior to this incident, Delawari had jokingly remarked to the audience, "If you don't claim your awards, we get to scratch the names out and keep them." After the award ceremony ended, congratulations and photo opportunities began. Students were able to shake hands with President Gonzalez, Dr. Zomalt, Dr. Karas, and Darlene Willis. Students also danced to the music provided by a DJ and guests mingled as the event drew to a close around midnight.

Cal State San Marcos Goes Caribbean Victor Mireles PRIDE STAFF WRITER The end of the spring semester was given a rousing sendoff with the 1st Annual Caribbean Carnival that took place Wednesday, May 10 outside the Dome. 95 students and volunteers dressed in elaborate costumes in the style of a Trinidad Carnival, and danced and paraded to the beat of a number of Caribbean style tunes in two groups, "Ecstasy" and "Fantasy." Murray Moran a member of the Ecstasy group said, "We tried to recreate the celebration on a miniature scale. The real one has thousands of people."

SCVLPTVRE TRIGGERS CJLMPVS CURIOSITY PRIDE STAFF WRITER Sonia Gutierrez ''Nobu in a Dream" is expected to be on display until the end of this semester. On Wednesday, May 10, an anonymous plastered sculpture magically appeared overnight on Founder's Plaza Courtyard. The physical anatomy of the nude piece suggests it is male. The faceless figure stands in a rigid position with clenched fists and is approximately 5'9" in height. Although the sculpture may not resemble a Rodin or a Michaelangelo, it definitely captivated the attention of many CSUSM students. On Thursday night, from afar, an unidentified student screamed, "Look! It's the naked white man!" It turns out that the "naked white man" is a creation by CSUSM student, Hironobu Shimomura. The piece, titled "Nobu in a Dream," is a project for VSAR 320: Public Expression in the Arts. Hironobu bases his project on his unforgettable recurring dreams. "This dream was situated at public places, such as school ground, classroom, and town streets," recounts Hironobu. Even though he wore clothing in the beginning of his dreams, by the end of them, he was naked and feeling intense emotion. "I would like to make this dream sequence come alive at this campus" writes Hironobu. Nails, newspaper, plaster, wire, and wood hold the piece together and a wooden skeleeton lies underneath the plaster. However, based on Hironobu's sketches, the piece remains incomplete. Hironobu's project proposal and sketches are on display in the hallway on the second floor of ACD. In his proposal, Hironobu explains he will use sandpaper and a wood carving tool for the sculpture's detail. Plastered clothing, such as pants, shirt, and shoes, will also accompany the piece. Hironobu will also use a slide projector to project images onto the statue for his class presentation. The VSAR 320 course, taught by Professor Kristine Diekman, examines public art, government funding for the arts, First Amendment and censorship, and historical and social context through various case studies. "Nobu in a Dream" By Hironobu Shimomura Here Comes The Sun: Be Informed about Skin Protection for the Upcoming Summer Months Kimberly Valentini and Shanna Skidmore PRIDE STAFF WRITERS The sun has peeked through the clouds during the last few weeks of classes and many students have taken the opportunity to sit outside the Dome and absorb the rays. Stephanie Dail, a CSUSM junior and sunbather commented, "I know I'm at risk for skin cancer, but I just love being in the sun." It is evident from the great amount of sunbathers outside the Dome, that Stephanie is not alone in her opinion. May is Skin Cancer Awareness month. However, many students may be unaware of the damaging effects the sun can have on their skin and unaware of how to protect themselves. Skin cancer appears in the form of moles on the skin. Moles that change in size, shape, and/or color should be checked by a doctor right away. The American Cancer Society suggests to check for any changes in mole patterns, freckles, and other marks on your skin. Signs of skin cancer include: a difference in the edges of mole possibly ragged or notched,, one half of the mole may look different than the other, also watch out for mixed colors in moles such as shades of black, tan, or brown, and sometimes spots of white, red, or blue. Protection from the Sun Rays What is Skin Cancer? According to Heath Net, one out of every seven Americans will develop skin cancer during his or her lifetime. The American Cancer Society reports that basal cell cancers account for 75% of skin cancers and melanoma accounts for 4%. According to the American Cancer Society there are two types of skin cancer: nonmelanoma and melanoma. Nonmelanoma skin cancer is broken up into two classifications: basal cell cancer, which can be found on the head and neck, and squamous cell cancer which can found on the face, ear, neck, lips, and backs of the hands. Melanoma mainly appears on t he upper body of fairskin men and on fair-skin women's lower legs. However, melanoma can appear in other places of the body. Melanoma cancer is much less common than the basal cell cancer, and is almost always curable in its early stages. running to the tanning salon is not the solution. The best defense against skin cancer is to protect yourself and know the facts on cancer. Listed below are some guidelines from Health Net for protecting yourself from skin cancer: •Avoid being in the sun during peak time, between 10:00am and 2:00pm. •Be sure to use sunscreen or sunblock with a SPF of 15 or greater every time you're outdoors; even when it is cloudy outside, the sun's UV rays can pass through the clouds. •Cover every part of your exposed body with sunscreen, reapplying every two hours and each time you get out of the water. •Take a break from the sun every 20 minutes if it is possible. •Stay in the shade or wear protective clothing when you're not physically active. For more information on skin cancer, contact The American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 orwww.cancer.org; the American Academy of Dermatology at 1-847-330-0230, 888-462-DERM (3376), or www.aad.org; the National Cancer Institute at 1-800-4-CANCER or www.nci.nih.gov; or the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship at 1-888650-9127 or www.cansearch.org. Malignant Melanoma UV radiation from sunlight and tanning booths is the source that puts people at a greater risk for all types of skin cancer. Being exposed to the sun without protection puts everyone at risk for getting skin cancer. Cathy Grenett, Clinic Aid II, from CSUSM Student Health Services said, "We encourage all of our students to use sunscreen and to have dermatology test done frequently." The American Cancer Society predicts that in the year So when you are out in the sun the rule of thumb should 2000, there will be 47,700 new cases of melanoma in the always be to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the United States and about 7,700 people will die of this cancer. sun.

Kane, who appeared on talk shows like Donnie & Marie, Queen Latifah, Roseanne, and Pen and Teller's Sin City Spectacular in 1999, is also an award-winning musician.

CSUSM held its f irst public recognition of Yom HaShoa'h last Tuesday, when Dr. Andrea Liss discussed her book Trespassing Through Shadows: Memory, Photography, and the Holocaust. and artistic representations of the Holocaust. In her lecture, she discussed the graphic and disturbing images of the camps seen in photographs, and noted in an interview that the "direct documentary approach is not that respectful of the people being pictured." Liss, who will teach a class entitled "Holocaust Art, Photography, and Film" in Spring 2001, said she hopes that by learning more about the events of the Holocaust, people will be more willing to confront intolerance when it occurs around them. "We need to be concerned about racism at a local level and not be afraid to Liss does not argue that graphic documentary pho- speak out," Liss said. tographs don't have a place in our understanding of the Holocaust.

"It's a matter of how they can work together," she said. "It was considered an extreme imperative to set aside a day of remembrance," Liss said. "There can't be static remembering" of the Holocaust, she said. "That's called forgetting." Yom HaShoa'h, which began in 1951, was set to coincide with the 1943 uprising of Jews in the Warsaw ghetto, Liss said, in an attempt "to wed this commemorative day with those events." Artistic representations such as comics draw in the "post-Auschwitz" generation, Liss said. In her book and in her lecture, she discussed Art Spiegelman's Maus books as one example of nontraditional media that seeks to bridge the gap between those who experienced the Holocaust and those who seek to understand it. Spiegelman serves as a "liaison between the world of the presLiss described Yom HaShoa'h as it occurs in Israel, ent and the world of the trauma," Liss said. where it is a national day of remembrance.

The scenery was split in two sections of the apartment to account for outside and inside scenes. Once I adjusted to hearing the familiar lines repeated so often in Tennessee William's play, sung, I relaxed into the moment and enjoyed Streetcar for all it was worth. In act one, Blanche Dubois has come to New Orleans to visit her sister, Stella. Stella's husband, Stanley, "infuriated by Blanche's artificial airs, her suggestive behavior, and what he regards as her loss of his wife's birthright, is determined to expose the lies about her past," according to the San Diego Performing Arts magazine. That night, Blanche meets Stanley's poker buddy, Mitch. Flirtation ensues between the two, and Stanley angrily breaks up the party. Streetcar Named Desire is the sixth opera to be part of the North American Voices Program, which is intended to showcase a series of operas with subjects relevant to North American experience. North American Voices project continues the 2000-01 season with the premiere of Carlisle Floyd's Cold Sassy Tree. A bittersweet love story based on the novel by Olive Ann Season. Academy award winner and film director Bruce Beresford will direct. The San Diego Opera runs yearly from January through May at the San Diego Civic Center in downtown San Diego. Ticket prices range from $31 to $118. Rush tickets are available the day of the performance for $20. To purchase tickets or find out more about rush tickets, contact San Diego Opera online at: www.sdopera.com or call (619) 232-7636. Unfortunately, the first ninety minutes of the first act were abysmal. The songs were drawn out, overdramatic, and senseless. "It made me wish I had stayed home," commented an audience member during the first intermission. In act two, Stanley tells Stella of the tragic rumors circulating about Blanche. On a date with Mitch, Blanche reveals her innermost secrets. In act three, Stanley cruelly ruins Blanche by revealing her secrets to Mitch and buying her a one way ticket back to where she came from. This begins the deterioration of Blanche's mind. After a whirlwind of catastrophe, Stella is forced to send Blanche to an asylum. Thinking she is leaving to visit an old admirer, Blanche unwittingly takes the doctors hand, informing him she, "has always relied on the kindness of strangers." The score was still jarring at times but would instantly come together beautifully in a heart rending operatic duet. Anthony Dean Griffey, portraying the insecure but Mitch, a moralistic suitor, brings new depth to his character when he and Sheryl Woods, as Blanche, reveal the depths of their characters souls in the act's final song.

First of all, I am sorry to see that you did not stay for the whole event. The event consisted ofmore than one controversial speaker. We had beautiful cultural performances by Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan.

Also, while we are on the subj ect ofChe and Cuba (and I hope this doesn't start another debatefrompeople who have learned everything they know on Cuba from the corporate media), you need to get your facts straight. Che helped turn Cuba into the Latin American country that has the highest literacy rate, free health care for all (Cuba's health system serves as an example for most underdeveloped nations and even some developed countries) and one of the most, if not the most industrialized Latin American nation. Though it may be true that Cuba's government may be repressive (this is a law of political science: states in all their forms, capitalist or socialist, are repressive), Cuba is not sponsoring terrorism within its borders or anywhere else. The main state or government that sponsors terrorism in Cuba and throughout the majority ofcountries throughout the world is the United States. TheU.S. sponsored the Bay ofPigs invasion as well as many assassination attempts of Fidel Castro (no government has the right to assassinate a nation's leader). Also the U.S. is responsible for a 30 year trade embargo on Cuba which has been condemned repeatedly by the United Nations and does not allow food and medical supplies into Cuba (how much more inhumane can you get?). ?). Plus I could add the fact that the U.S. is currently selling arms to a 70 year old illegitimate, terrorist Mexican government that is keeping its people living in poverty and misery. I could go on and on to prove my point of the U.S.'s role in sponsoring terrorism and terrorist states throughout the world, but I won't.1 could go on and on to prove my point ofthe U.S.'s role in sponsoring terrorism and terrorist states throughout the world, but I won't.

We are not about to let Budweiser, Marlboro, Doritos, or Taco Bell pimp off our history and culture.

Finally, you have every right to say that MEChA does not speak for you, because we do not try to speak for all Mexicans or Mexican-Americans. As Hector Muro said, those of us in the universities represent a small percentage of our people. "Less than 1% of our people graduate from a university". Thus, as students, we try not to be selfish and speak for only 1% of our people. At the beginning of the year, we made a conscious decision to address the issues that affect the masses of our people. We understood that there are more of us in prisons than in the universities and we understand that most of our people are working class people. Most of us are being exploited somewhere i n' afield,in a factory, or in hotels and Country clubs. And we understand that it is our right and responsibility to be proud of where we come from so that we may have the dignity and courage to struggle for a just and brighter future for all. Keep in mind, you called yourself a "Twinkie", don't criticize us for something we never said. Ricardo Favela; MEChA Vice-President considered by White society to be 'Mexican first'. 4. Finally, [Cuba is a] "repressive terrorist-sponsoring state"? This is the pot calling the kettle black, which everyone would understand if we paid more attention to history and brought the criminals deeds into the light for everyone to see). Are our sanctions on Cuba not 'repressive' to Cuba? Does the Bay of Pigs ring any bells? Terrorist is a relative term, the British considered George Washing ton a terrorist and the Nazis considered the French resistance terrorists. Che Guevara fought for the liberation of his people from the foreign oppressors and their internal collaborators.

Nothin' but Love for the ILOVEYOU Worm Attack: ...8 Though the infamous ILOVEYOU "worm" spread like the plague throughout computer systems around the world, shutting down government agencies, corporate networks, and even entire nations early Thursday morning, May 4, 2000, CSUSM contained the attack on campus computers by noon the same day. ILOVEYOU was the subject line on e-mails containing an attachment that opened what some reports mistakenly called a "virus". According to the Symantec Antivirus Research Center viruses and worms differ in how they spread. Symantec is the provider of Norton Anti Virus software. Worms are designed to propagate cyber violence throughout a network with little or no help from humans (i.e. grabbing addresses and mailing itself). Alternatively, a virus is designed to hide out and allow itself to be sent to a recipient where it can wreck havoc on a machine. The ILOVEYOU attachment contained a Visual Basic Script (.vbs file) that, once opened, would mail itself to everyone listed in the address book, then begin corrupting specific files number of projects I hope to pursue and through them, I intend to continue contributing to the campus and the communities we serve/ Thanks for the support and commitment you've shown over the past four years. Together, we've made a lot of progress. In a memorandum to the Cal State San Marcos Campus Community dated May 3,2000 and released following the Academic Senate meeting, CSUSM's President Dr. Alexander Gonzalez notes that "[o]n Monday, May 1, Dr. Richard Karas resigned his position as Vice President for Academic Affairs. I respect his decision as well as his request for reassignment to a faculty position in the College of Arts and Sciences. With the fall semester, Dr. Karas will become a Professor of Physics at Cal on the local machine. "It's impressive code.. Clean... Well written," say student assistants who work in Computing and Telecommunications Network Operations of the four short pages ofVisual Basic code thatfloodedinboxes and sent items folders with thousands of infected messages on campus and around the world. The worm created what an Information Technology Consultant in HelpDesk Support, Carlos Arciniega, called a "panic" among campus computer users. When David Medeiros, Operating Systems Analyst for the campus Computing and Telecommunications department opened his e-mail at about 7:15am to more than 50 expressions of affection, he realized he was either more popular than he ever imagined or that a cyber attack had been unleashed on the campus e-mail system. "I opened the first arjd saw that the file extension on the attachment was .vbs," Medeiros stated. Knowing that most attachments are more common file types like .txt, .doc, or .jpg, Medeiros went to look for the latest updates for the Virus Scan program that catches and cleans Infected files. Medeiros said that they employed a 3-tiered defense, "Stop it, contain it, and fix it." Medeiros said that CSUSM faired better than many other organizations in the face of the worm because Computing and Telecommunications were prepared to react to the threat quickly. "When something like this happens, it's a big team effort," Medeiros said in praise of his coworkers. Computing shut down the campus e-mail servers almost immediately to quarantine the worm and began the process of cleaning the attachments for the campus e-mail servers. The virus scanning software See VIRUS pg. 2 State San Marcos. We wish him all the best in returning to hisfirstgreat passion in academia, teaching students." In the same memorandum Gonzalez states that he will shortly "make a decision about an interim appointment and [begin] the search to replace Dr. Karas." Dr. Karas' resignation comes on the heels of the resignation of the both the Dean of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Victor Rocha, who will be taking a position as a professor of Psychology in the fall, and the Dean of the College of Business Administration, Dr. Newton Margulies who resigned his position in the fall of 1998 citing personal reasons. Dr. Karas came to Cal State San Marcos in mid-1996 from Western State College of Colorado, where he served as Vice President for Academic Affairs. During his tenure as Vice President of Academic Affairs Drilling for Books Brian Fisher PRIDE STAFF WRITER In anticipation of the new library, a crew drilled approximately twenty holes j ust west of University Hall on Tuesday, May 2. These "drill s ites" range in depth f rom three to f orty f eet, and o ften require more than one hour of drilling time per site. "Its all pretty straight forward, we are drilling to find the depth of the granite layer underneath the compacted e arth," stated Paul Dunster, Project Geologist of Geocon, who headed the p roject. Paul also states, "The granite layer will serve as a foundation for the new library." Due to previous blasting and grading, some of the granite was found in large fragments. The fragments are not capable of supporting heavy structures such as the library. Granite stability was the m ajor problem Geocon "drilled i nto" while determining the granite depth. "Sometimes i t's d ifficult to tell if the granite is s table," stated Dunster. Dunster said that he o ften had to get into "the cage" and was lowered down into holes to determine granite stability. The drill itself is attached to a large s haft capable of extending one hundred feet into the ground. Depth measurements are relayed f rom a sensor in the s haft to a computer in the tractor operation panel. The steel drill bit sports approximately ten "carbide f iber" teeth (stron- at CSUSM the student body has grown by over 2000 students, several new academic programs were successfully begun, and a process for the evaluation of academic programs was initiated. Prior to serving as Vice President for Academic Affairs at Western State College of Colorado, Karas served as Dean ofAdministrative Services at Sonoma State University. He also served as Chair of Sonoma State's physics and astronomy department, and as a manager in a computer company doing business in China. Karas earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from UC Berkeley in physics and his doctoral degree from UC Berkeley in atmospheric and space sciences. His honors include Outstanding Professor of the Year, and National Endowment for the Humanities "All-College Fellow" while at Sonoma State. ger than steel) at the tip of the drill, allowing it to tear through rock and other hardened deposits underneath the surface. "We are not sure when the library will be f inished," stated Dunster, although he believed the estimate f or f inal construction was approximately three years away.

The meeting was held between a group of young women and members of management f or Student A ffairs. Trying to establish a Greek sorority on campus is a continual process that takes f rom one to three years, Dr. Francine M. Martinez, Vice President of Student A ffairs, explained at the meeting. "The group can start as a club; however, it does not mean the club will be a recognized Greek organization," said Dr. Martinez. She outlined the process of establishing a Greek sorority f rom a club. The recognized club organization moves to a provisional status, and finally becomes an o fficially recognized chapter. Currently, there are two Greek social organization f raternities and two sororities on campus. The two Greek f raternities are Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Sororities on campus include Alpha Chi Raving Ecstasy Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER Instead of buying alcohol at clubs, it is now trendy to buy drugs at Raves.

One major problem of MDMA is that users may start having intense memories f rom the past that they are not able to deal with psychologically. MDMA takes anywhere f rom 30 minutes to two hours b efore it begins to work. When it does begin to work, the user reaches the peak e ffect in only a few minutes and the user may start to f eel out of control until the plateau. The e ffects of the drug last f rom three to six hours. Unfavorable side e ffects that may occur include, dehydration ( from dancing f or long hours and not drinking enough water), nausea, vomiting, j aw clenching, eye twitching, and dizziness. It is also possible for the user to have an altered state in their mood for up to two weeks a fter taking MDMA. MDMA is in such high demand at Rave parties that the MDMA may produce "strong supply w on't last through the feelings of c omfort, empathy, evening, leaving sellers to pedand connection to o thers," dling Ecstasy pills that do not have the contents of MDMA. According to The Vaults of Erowid "the functional d efinition of Ecstasy is a pill represented as MDMA on the s treet." This leaves the user not knowing what exactly is in the pill they are buying.

For example there may be a sun engraved on the top or a smiley face. The pills also range in color. Mike Spangler PRIDE STAFF WRITER According to N BC's Dateline, MDMA is the most popular drug at Raves. However, there are several other drugs that are being used increasingly in the club scene. Examples include GHB, Rohypnol, Ketamine, and LSD. All of these drugs are even more dangerous when combined with alcohol use. Raves are usually held on the weekends in San Diego County and most commonly will feature " techno" music with plenty of dancing. Students of Professor Loni B erry's Theatre Arts class (TA 300) will perform in a play of their own creation. Tentatively titled "Decisions, D ecisions,"the theatre experience will take place in the CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts Annex on Tuesday, May 16, 2000. The crew and 11-member cast are made up entirely of CSUSM students* many of whom have never b efore been involved with a theatre production. Some actors a re nervously calling the production " Off-off Broadway... Way-off Broadway." " It's not about the production, "said Professor Berry, " it's about the m aterial." The play f ollows San Diego television reporter, Mike Anderson as he p ieces together the events s urrounding a fictitious Proposition 33, a proposition that bans same-sex marriages in C alifornia. Mike uncovers startling evidence on election night about the p roposition's author, a never-seen Senator Bob Daye. Students researched topics relevant to C alifornia society, and then write and produce a play based on the research results. The p erformances are the culmination of the semesterlong assignment f or the class. The general public is invited, but the production does entail adult language and content. Admission is f ree and seating will be on a first-come, first-served b asis. Those wishing to attend should plan to arrive at the VPAA on La Moree Road at 7 :30pm. �Heading East: Asian Pacific American History Melanie Addington PRIDE STAFF WRITER " Heading E ast," t he t raveling e xhibit t hat w as o n d isplay i n t he C SUSM L ibrary, g raced t he c ampus c ommunity w ith i mages a nd h istory of A sian-Americans.

BE ALL YOU CAN B E www.goarmy.com �Dear Editors, better yet, Dear Students who voted NO on the Health Services Referendum: (Fallbrook, CA). Dear Editors: I wanted to thank all the students who attended the child development workshops. Your registration benefited the ASI Early Learning Center. For those who do not know about the child development workshops, let me fill you in. Every month this semester, speakers from t}ie San Diego County Family Child Care Association have been giving workshops on child issues and education. The I would like to think that your Student Health Services is important to you and is taking sessions included: care of your needs. Dr. Nicholson did say, regarding the compromising of staffing because "Storytelling" by Cheron Yusko - co-sponof the NO vote, they "will not be able to accommodate students..." and it will be "...difficult sored by John C. Paget, CPA (Fallbrook, CA). to provide for twice as many students." Is this the kind of health care you wantfromYOUR Student Health Services? Just take a good look at the health care system in this country! (I Yusko gave a wide range of ideas on how to would love to see it on the ballot; vote no on HMO's and go back to the old way—I'd never tell stories to children of all ages. leave the voting booth). "Stress ant the Young Child" by Bobby Kilbourne - co-sponsored by Fallbrook PharThe Student Health Services has had a positive impact on this campus in taking care of the student's health care needs. It has been a one-on-one healthcare practice, including the macy. Kilbourne reminded us that so many pharmacy department, which is extremely important to any individual. I am not only speak- behaviors of a child can relate to stress, which ing from my own positive experiences that I have had at the Student Health Services, but can stem from indirect events at the home. come on now, I know that I am never alone in my experiences. Surely there are others out With the workshops, refreshments and there who feel as I do. As far as my experience goes, I have had to struggle for my own door prizes were included. The door prizes health care (on the outside). So believe me, students who voted NO on the referendum, it was poor judgment on your part, because the last thing you want here is an understaffed were great and all donated by local businesses. Be sure to thank the following contributors healthcare facility. Understaffing means less or poor quality care. when you see them: Pizza Hut for donating pizza certificates; Someone once told me, "Because of the advancement of the medical technology in these changing times, we have to change with it and welcome these new practices of healthcare" Angel's Landing Resort - A free night; Solid (this was their way to describe poor quality care and understaffing). I replied, "Tell that to Rock Gym Indoor Rock Climbing - Free your heart patients and your AIDS patients, and your sexually transmitted disease patients, passes; North County Gymnastics & The the elderly, the small children who are told they have a 24 hour bug, but die a few days later, Gyminny Kids - Certificate; Hair Attitudes and those who find Out at the last minute that their cancer is too far gone, and last but not - a certificate for the works; Albertson's & least, your everyday patient who just wants that check-up because he or she needs to know Edwards - Certificates; Bobbi Kilbourne Gifts; Kaitlynn Miller - Gift certificate for that the body is functioning okay!"

I wish you could vote again saying that thefirstone did not count --it was just for practice. I am very curious to know why you students who voted NO did so. I realize that you all can't possibly just tell me, and probably do not want to be bothered in doing so, but please, I urge you to respond to this little write up of mine and offer your input, your insights, your reasons behind the negative vote. I almost want to dare you. I can't help to wonder why you would not want more and better services from Student Health Services. Was the vote an issue of money; say, $35.00? I bet you spend way more on junk food all semester! Soda and candy is not cheap. All supported child development and the CSU San Marcos ASI Early Learning Center by giving incentives for people to attend these educational workshops. It's not too late to win one of these exciting door prizes! We still have one more workshop this semester - Thursday, May 11, 2000 at 7:15pm, with Ruthie Hewitt - "Math and Science Can Be Fun". Join us, learn and win! Also, after talking with many, it has been decided that scheduling the trainings for the afternoon rather than evenings is best. Therefore, the workshops next semester will be once a month, on a weekday afternoon, for your convenience. Keep in mind that Ellen Flanagan will visit next semester and talk about "Sensitivity to Child Rearing Values": The date is not yet decided, so watch for announcements in the Pride Calendar of Events and campus posting. Again, thank you to all that have supported and attended the ASI Early Learning Center trainings. Together we're making our community a more knowledgeable place about our developing children! Hope to see you in May! Sincerely, Debbie Nation ASI Childcare Representative Violence Against Women Act Needs Five More Years Darcy Walker Cesar Chavez Day Victor Mireles In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), a landmark piece of legislation that works at the federal, state and community levels to protect women and childrenfromdomestic violence and sexual assault. Funding provided under this law allowed five years of federal support for programs such as the National Domestic Violence Hotline, which receives more than 8,000 calls per month. Shelters for battered women and rape crisis centers are among the many services made possible by this legislation. I attended the Cesar Chavez and Cinco de Mayo event put on by the CSUSM MEChA club. The event took place at the bottom of the stairs that lead up to the free speech area, and had the support of ASI and the University. Both the ASI and university presidents spoke briefly on the importance of having diversity on campus. Yet, after they left, the event showed its true colors and became a hybrid political and cultural rally. With training also granted by the VAWA, police, judges and court personnel are learning how best to respond to the unique dynamics of domestic and sexually violent crimes. Countless lives have been improved and saved by the programs supported by this legislation. But five years is not enough time to end violence against women, and lives are at risk daily. We cannot afford to close down shelters and hotlines. Thefirstspeaker talked about the suffering that Chicanos have faced for centuries. He said that the defacement of the Che Guevara banner last year was a hate crime because "he was a greatfigurein the struggle forfreedom."The speaker also made a thinly disguised accusation of racism saying that the people complaining about the volume of the music might be doing so because, "they don't like Chicanos expressing themselves." He finally said that his views spoke for all Hispanics. I quickly left the event and wondered what this all meant. Congress is considering a bill to extend funding for the Violence Against Women Act for anotherfiveyears. Since its introduction last year, 171 members of the House have cosponsored H.R. 1248, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Bill. Locally, Representative Brian Bilbray of the 49th district has shown his support by signing on as a cosponsor in October of last year. However, Reps. Randy Cunningham (51st district) and Ron Packard of the 48th district have yet to make this important commitment. As residents of North County, we rely on these men to speak for us in Congress. Call on them to stand up for women, children, and families. Ask your representative to sponsor and support HR 1248. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, 51st District: Phone: 760-737-8438 Fax: 737-9132 613 W, Valley Pkwy. Ste. 320 Escondidio, 92025 Ron Packard, 48th District: Phone:760-631-1364 Fax:631-1367 22l E.Vista Way Ste. 205 Vista, 92084 Additional district and representative information is located in the blue government section in the yellow pages. Complete information about HR 1248 and any legislation, current or otherwise, can be found on the Internet at http://thomas.loc.gov The sad reality is that MEChA and other groups that proclaim themselves to be victims are worthless organizations. I am a Mexican-American but I am also one who knows that living in the past isfruitless.MEChA claims to support and speak for Chicano views, but I am one Mexican-American who would like to say that they don't speak for me. My family has been living in the United States for over a century. My ancestors came to the U.S. legally around the 1890s and have been productive members of the nation since. My late grandfather fought in the Second World War. We have always regarded ourselves as loyal and proud Americans. Although I respect where I came from I am American first. Mexico happens to be the place where my ethnic group came from. MEChA and other organizations that dwell on past injustices from the U.S. and Europe are doomed because they cannot see that those who move on do succeed/It is easy to complain, but have you done anything tangible to improve the lives of Mexican-Americans? MEChA would be well advised to celebrate Cesar Chayez but not to praise people like Che Guevara. How can a group that wants justice support a man who helped turn Cuba into a repressive, terrorist-sponsoring state? I probably will be called a Twinkie because I do not support MEChA, and I accept that. It will only show how intolerant and shallow they truly are. I hope that when the next Cesar Chavez day rolls around we make it a truly diverse event with dances of all races and ethnic groups and keep the politics out. I think Cesar would have wanted it that way.

'This is just one employee" who feels he has been treated unfairly, he said. Concerns about unequal treatment for African American staff members have grown because of a perceived lack of responsefromthe administration, according to African American Advisory Council Chair Reginald Owens. 'These issues have gained in strength because they have not been addressed," he said. Gonzalez has made several proposals in response to the perceived inequity among staff members. The administration has approached a consulting group to discuss ways to improve the situation. Gonzalez has agred with the council's call for increased training for managers, and said there needs to be more accountability in enforcing and upholding policies that require equal treatment of all employees. 'It's my responsibility to try and ferret out [disparities] and make this a place where people want to be," Gonzalez said. Owens also had some suggestions to increase diversity on campus. "Look at the hiring process," he said. The university needs to devise ways to increase the diversity of the applicant pool, according to Owens.

Smith African American faculty member has requested a jury trial. accused then CSUSM President, Bill Stacy, of avoiding the issue of institutionalized racism at an Executive Board Meeting of the Academic Senate. At this same meeting, Stacy recognized that CSUSM had failed to achieve the goals of the campus mission in regard to diversity. At an African American Advisory Committee meeting, both faculty and students stated they felt endangered because of the racial tension on campus, according to a Union Tribune article dated Oct. 11,1996, written by Lisa Petrillo and L. Erik Bratt. Faculty members felt racial problems had been escalating at CSUSM for two years. According to Stacy, campus police had investigated reports of a white supremacist group on campus but did not turn up evidence. For the next two years, more racist incidents occurred. Swastikas were painted on campus, one with a threatening message directed specifically toward a female African American professor. Security measures were taken to ensure her safety. In Feb. 1997, hate leaflets with threats of shooting African Americans and hanging their white associates were placed on car windshields. A juvenile was apprehended by university police for distributing the leaflets who claimed that he was a member of Tom Metzger's White Aryan Resistance (WAR). Metzger applauded the distribution, according to an article written by Michael Miller for the Feb. 13, 1997 issue of The Pride. According to Miller, Metzger had been held accountable in a civil judgement in 1990 after the beating death of an Ethiopian student in Portland, OR, Metzger was tentatively scheduled for distributing hate messages at CSUSM. At Curtis' arraignment, Metzger acknowledged that he and Curtis had communicated via the Internet and through e-mail, according to a Sept. 4, 1997 editorial in the Union Tribune. Curtis was not a CSUSM student. Consistently, more racist flyers were found on campus. In the Feb. 27, 1997 issue of The Pride, the president and vice president of the Aryan Student Union wrote a letter to the editor announcing the swastika as their symbol and professing their desire to "show pride and solidarity . .. affecting their race and culture." In Apr. 1997, there were bomb threats sent anonymously by white supremacists via e-mail threatening a unity celebration on campus. According to a former African American student who attended CSUSM from 1996-1997, the situation on campus "was somewhat tense, but for the most part, business went on as usual. [As an African American on campus] You paid attention to what was going on around you." These are some of the events behind Smith's allegation in her complaint that CSUSM did not respond appropriately to stop the distribution and dissemination of racist posters, signs and caricatures of bigoted illustrations prevalent on campus, thus creating a hostile working environment. After the 1834 Emancipation, the French, who were the colonizers at the time, lost control of the carnival and so former slaves rushed to the streets by the thousands bringing African ideas to the festivities. Today, all citizens of Trinidad venture out of their houses three days before Lent to celebrate carnival. All the nationalities that populate Trinidad come together and intermingle. The carnival helps combat the racial, social, and political hostilities that exist in the country. For the CSUSM student, the carnival is a great break before the dreaded week of finals, which start two weeks after this big and entertaining event. There will be food and drinks to go along with the music, prizes, and performances. All the students performing in the carnival will be wearing elaboorate costumes made with their own hands. A great deal of money has been donated to make sure this carnival is a success. According to John McKay, a student in the class, "With the help of ASI and the Pride Alliance we have already received $2000, plus an additional $2000 has been raised by the students in our class."

Cloning cuts down on the time spent t roubleshooting p roblem machines and hardware issues. Essentially, all the PC Computers in Academic Hall are exactly the same, made directly f rom one machine, which is copied, to each computer over our school network. Students were unable to use the Academic Computer Lab that Tuesday because of a small problem during the cloning process. A few of the machines had a problem " understanding" that they were to be cloned. Since all the machines are cloned over the school network, only a few machines can clone at one time. Some machines had slow or bad network cablefs, which caused the computers to download the cloned image more slowly than others did. Since it took more time for some machines to download the image, the rest of the computers in the Academic Computer Lab were waiting to accept the new image. This process can take several hours, which is why it is done at night. The slower machines took upwards of 2 to 3 hours each, which delayed the process /of cloning the entire Academic Computer Lab.

It was not made clear where the posters where found. The university has denied every allegation and has said that the case should be thrown out. The university has made a request for a judge to rule on the case; the hearing is scheduledfor May 11,2000, in Vista Courthouse. Victoria B. Segall PRIDE STAFF WRITER According to the Saturday, April 22, 2000 issue of the North County Times, former Lieutenant of Campus Public Safety, Alicia Smith has filed a lawsuit against CSUSM. In the article by Bruce Kauffman, Smith alleges she was fired because she was "female, single, and black, and because she filed a complaint against her supervisor" former Chief Arnold Trujillo. Smith received notice of her The North County Times furjob termination on November 2, ther stated that Smith alleges that 1998. during her tenure at CSUSM, her sexual orientation was questioned and that her pay was not equal to officers of the same ranking throughout the CSU system. She also charges that term "monkey" was used in conversations about race, a term that offended Smith. Roy L. Landers, Smith's attorney, could not be reached for comment. According to the article, Landers notes that racial politics could be one explanation for the firing of Smith. Smith began her position as Lieutenant for CSUSM's Public Safety in November 1995. At the time, Smith had twenty-three years of experience in law enforcement. She was president of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, Patrol Officer in Los Angeles and San Bernardino County, Line-Sargeant for Southern Pacific Railroad's Police Force. Currently, there are no women on the CSUSM police force, but according to Chief Tom Schultheis, "If all goes well, we will be hiring two women officers in the near future." In their need for full-time officers "around the clock," the University Police Department was unable tofindavailable female candidates tofillthe positions. Of the eight officers in the force, which includes Chief Schultheis and Lieutenant Will Glen, two officers are African-American, two are Hispanic, one is Asian, and three are Caucasian. Chief Schultheis responded to the North County Times article by noting that the events took place before his time at CSUSM. He hopes for more positive feelings towards the department and noted that currently, there are increased RAD training, the relocation of photo I.D.'s to on campus, things to make the roadways safer, and in the near future with better weather, officers on bike transport. CSUSM Awarded $1 Million from Qualcomm Shanna Skidmore PRIDE STAFF WRITER CSUSM will receive $1 million over a twoyear period to support the College of Business Administration. Although m process, it has not been determined how the funds will be distributed. These funds may be used to help develop training programs for professionals seeking middle-management positions in high-tech and biotech firms. CSUSM was included among a group of educational institutions to receive part of some $25 million that Qualcomm generously donated. Qualcomm agreed to donate the money to four universities including San Marcos. University of California, San Diego, San Diego State and the foundation for the improvement of Mathematics and Science Education in the San Diego Unified School District were also among the select group to receive the money. "We're thrilled to have the support from Qualcomm," said Kathleen Watson, Interim Dean of the College of Business Admin- Bad weather on Tuesday discouraged student turnout to only a handful of students. However, sunny weather on Wednesday increased the turnout to around 35 students for the forum. Most candidate issues focused on ways to increase student participation in student government and addressed the need to lobby the administration, local and state government for student issues. Supporters ofthe two competing slates in the crowd used the forum as an opportunity to ask difficult questions of the many candidates. Dean was not asked any questions regarding his issues, but defended his election slate's composition. The high number of fraternity Victor Mireles and sorority members on Dean ManPRDIE STAFF WRITER ship's slate was at issue.

This money is expected to help expand the College of Business Administration. Although Qualcomm did not state specifically how the money should be spent, the University has discussed a need for training individuals involved in high-tech companies for middle management positions. "The idea would be to design the program based on the business community's needs," Watson stated. The program would benefit people who are fully employed and moving into management positions and seeking a MBA (masters degree) in biotech, high-tech, or business majors. The donation was part of a commitment connected to the "Digital Opportunity" tour by President Clinton. "Digital Opportunity" is designed to close the gap between those who can afford to access computer technology and those who cannot. Because this donation is so new, definite plans for the money have not been determined.

As Peters points out, "...she is disappointed with a system that..treats both faculty and students as products." One cannot helpfeelingdisheartened knowing that the 'University' has become a business for PROFIT! Think about it Isn't it scary to think ofourselvesas 'products'? What kind ofan institution is this anyway? I thought that the educational institution was for the welfare of the people (students and faculty).

Although built in 1992, the greenhouse has been non-operational until this semester due to funding problems. Now fully operational and being used by Ecology classes,finally,the greenhouse has been put to use for growing life. The corn and beans study will show how the plants compete against each other for limited soil nutrients and light. The students have dried and weighed the plants, and are currently compiling their data in order to write up the results of this research activity. Continually, more Ecology classes are being offered at CSUSM. But the greenhouse is not solely for Ecology students' use. It provides research opportunities for all students and faculty. "The greenhouse offers a new dimension for students [concerning] instruction and research aspects," says Dr. George Vourlitis, Terrestrial Plant Ecologist and CSUSM professor. Undeveloped hillsides of chaparral adjacent to CSUSM are ideal for study - natural landscapes with native vegetation and ecosystems. The new Science Hall, currently under construction, is predicted to be complete in fall 2002, according to Bella Newberg, Financial and The Biological Sciences Department has within it the Ecology concentratioh where students work in the greenhouse under the class Biology 354, "Principles of Ecology". Various fields of study fall under ecology, which is the science of the relationships between organisms and their environments. In fall 2000, a Terrestrial Ecology class will be offered that is ecosystem-focused, and studies soil and the interaction between carbon, nutrients and water cycles. Terrestrial Plant Ecology studies the plant as a main unit, focusing on its growth and nutrient synthesis, according to Vourlitis. Currently CSUSM only focuses on general and "Terrestrial Plant" ecology, although there are plans to develop an Environmental Sciences program in the future. Graduate students can use the greenhouse to conduct research to fulfill their theses and under graduates can use it to conduct research for Independent Study course credit. For further information on research opportunities utilizing the greenhouse, contact Dr. George Vourlitis at (760) 750-4119 or georgev@csusm.edu. Some really good performances help.

A slate is a group of like-minded candidates who run together with similar positions and goals; they are not necessarily official. Anyone interested in recognizing who these slates represent need go no further than spotting the clustering of signs on campus. Thefirstdispute was over a mistake concerning the time signs could be posted to start the campaign. The Dean Manship slate posted signs on the quad and in front of Craven Hall before the Stacey Helton slate had a chance to do the same. The Helton slate claimed the Manship slate received special privileges, alleging that the slate was allowed to skip a mandatory meeting that was required of all participants in the election. In response to the dispute, ASI See SIGNS Pg. 2 Teacher Fair, Women's Track, ; Around Campus, Words to Live B y.; Academic Bulletin.... Candidate Statements.

Under the shade of several umbrella-covered tables, employers packed the plaza accordion style to provide enough room for each company represented.

Large companies, like Target, were present at the Fair, but so were smaller companies, like Modern Postcard. The postcard company, located on Faraday in Carlsbad, had several positions available, including one for a graphics designer, to accommodate the quickly growing company, according to the representatives. Like many of the businesses, Moder^Postcard provided a "favor" to attract visitors to its table. Instead of candy, the business gave away colorful postcards. For those of us who are used to thfe quiet of the Plaza on a regular day,filledonly with students' conversations as they head to class or stop for a latte at the coffee cart, the carnival atmosphere of the crowded Job Fair came as quite a shock.

On April 25 and 26 students will have the option to vote yes or no on increasing the semester fee for Health Servicesfrom$20 to $35. Health Services hasn't increased the semester fee since the fee was established in 1994. The average yearly fee for student health services in the CSU system is $108. Dr. Karen Nicholson, the Director ofHealth Services, believes that students did not attend the forum because they are not aware that these Health Services exist So instead'of conducting an open forum, Nicholson passed out free bottles of water and pens to any student who walked by. Reactions to the fee increase vary across campus. A student, who prefers not to be named, stated, "No way. It's just another fee. I never use Health Services." Elena Medina, another student, stated that she would support it as long as the increase was gradual and services would be provided with the increase. She stated, "Students are here awayfromhome. They need these services. If the students live at home, these services are much cheaper."

"They shouldn't just take the first job open to them," said Punch. In addition to the fair, the Career and Assessment Center offered free workshops throughout the day, including one aimed to help prospective employees "dress for success," and another to help students draft an effective resume. All of the workshops were well attended, some to the point of overflowing. Perhaps the only folks unhappy with the success of Job Fair 2000 were campus regulars Jed Smock and his family. At the height of the event, and unable to compete with the noise from the job fair, the confrontational reverend was observed sitting at his usual post, quietly sipping water. agreed that action must be taken immediately. Some ICC members are fed up with their peers. Several clubs on campus will be unable to obtain their needed funding for events they have been planning, because the council has been unable to vote on anything for over a month. Other groups, like the Odyssey Club, are waiting for the council to reach quorum so they can be officially recognized as a club. They have been waiting for weeks and were visibly agitated at the realization that they would again be denied club status. Rita Reynolds and Reanna Wertz, who are both running for Executive vice-president of ASI, felt that clubs do not take ICC seriously enough. Wertz, president and co-founder of the Future Educators Club, sighted rapid growth in ICC as part of the problem. "The jump from 9 to 52 clubs has taken a dramatic toll on ICC. The policies are going to have to change." "I am disappointed with the presidents of the clubs who do not attend," said Penny Lanese, Anime Project Alliance. "If you don't care about your club,, you shouldn't have chartered it." Lanese went on to acknowledge ' those in regular attendance, "The ones who do go display praiseworthy dedication." Reynolds and Wertz both * felt that some clubs see ICC as simply a place to go when they need money. Reynolds, president and co-founder of the Victorious Club, insisted that ICC is "not just for funding. It is a place for clubs to exchange ideas, to support each other." �)e iPribe 2 (Tuesday, April 18, 2000 SIGNS Cont. FromPg. 1 Teacher Fair a Success Cynthia C.

Ifinishedcopying the rules Monday evening and gave it to them. They put up their signs Monday evening. I realized I make a mistake. I apologized to the other slate on Tuesday." According to ASI Presidential candidate Stacey Helton, all prospective candidates had to attend a mandatory meeting on Tuesday, April 4, at 1:30pm that covered election rules or else they would not be allowed to run in the election. According to sources familiar with the meeting, all of the candidates on the Stacey's slate attended the meeting while an only a few of Dean Manship's slate showed up to the meeting. Although candidates were prohibitedfromposting campaign signs until they attended the meeting, Dean Manship's slate posters were posted in the morning before the actual meeting took place. In an e-mail, Bobby Radovich states that, "In fairness to all candidates, we the elections committee must enforce the rules at all times. Ignorance of the rules will not be an excuse so this meeting is crucial." Asked why he did not ask them to take the signs down he said, "That it would be a waste of time. I asked for forgiveness. I just want to keep the election positive." the team has quickly made a name for itself. With 20 women,fromas close as San Diego and as far away as Sweden, on the roster, the Lady Cougars track team is well into an impressive inaugural season. With over half the meets competed, the women have qualifiedfiveindividuals and one relay team, with more individuals nearing the standard of their respective event every week. In the program'sfirstyear, San Marcos competes in the NAIA Division. They have proven their ability to hold their own against bigger schools such as Cal State Long Beach, UC Irvine and UCSB. The Lady Cougars have two of the top 400 runners in By Denaye Lakotich for The Pride the NAIA in freshmen Amy Taylor and Luci Downey, both National qualifiers.

Since then, however, is ranked in the top 5, and only getting better. The talent W omen's Track at C SUSM Dean Manship for his part denies that any special treatment was given to him saying that, "We have done everything right We haven't got anything against the other slate." When asked if the large number of complaints against them were due to other factors he added, "They think we are a bunch of incumbents. It has nothing to do with ICC or club matters. We have good ideas. I want to have a positive campaign." Another dispute between the groups involves the enforcement of sign rules. "You are allowed four mistakes. If you go over the amount you are not allowed to run," said Penny Lanese, a candidate on Stacey Helton's slate. She also stated that rules are not being enforced to the fullest extent. She claimed that Dean Manship's slate had violated the rules twice while she claimed her slate had not. Dean said that these charges were unfounded and said, "I don't want to say anything negative." The person in charge of sign postings and citing violations is Gezai Beihane, Student Involvement Coordinator for the Center for Student Involvement. He contradicts the charges made by Helton's slate by saying, "I have heard complaints but no rules have been violated." He explained that there are strict rules for posting signs, but during election season the rules are relaxed. Despite this and other inside disputes both Dean Manship and Stacey Helton said that they wanted a positive campaign focusing on issues. does not stop at these women either. Renee MacDonald is a top challenger for the Half Marathon, Jackie Campos recently qualified in the 3000 meter walk by nearly two minutes and Mirna Hernandez is ranked in the topfivein the discus. Heather Garritson is currently under the provisional mark for the 3000-meter run-which almost guarantees her a seat on the plane to Nationals-and is expected to hit the standard qualifying time in the near future. In a meet at UCSD on April 8, the womenfinishedfifthout of eleven teams-an outstanding feat considering they were missing Downey in the 200 and 400, Laura Wilson in the 400 hurdles, and sprinter Jessica Walker in the 100 and 200 due to injuries and sickness. Thisfinishonly proves the strength of the team. It is a sign that they can look forward to an exciting second half of the season.

I am currently the President of the German Club, as well as Treasurer for both the History Club and the Victorious Club, and Secretary for the American Indian Student Alliance (formerly AISES). As ASI President, one of my goals will be to make sure that information is readily accessible to all students.

I will also work to improve the Dome, with a wider variety of foods and extended hours. In addition, I am in daily communication with Rita, candidate for Exec VP. I will also hold weekly meetings with each of the executive officers to continue the vision of ASI Team 2000. To ensure that ASI is serving each and every one of the students at CSUSM!

I will use technology to reach as many students as possible with information about what your student government is doing and what issues we are addressing. I bring the experience of a re-entry student, and I bring enthusiasm as I am new to this campus and look forward to a great senior year. Rita Reynolds Major - History Executive Vice President I have been a student at CSUSM since Fall 1998, and I have a passion for this campus and seeing all of the students here meet or exceed their goals, as well as having a memorable experience at CSUSM. I believe my experience working as a manager for many years has been excellent preparation for the position of Executive Vice President. Additionally, I am the cofounder and seated president of CSUSM's Victorious Club, Treasurer for American Indian Student Alliance* and a member of the History Club. While at Palomar Community College, I was the first president of the Undefeated Club to serve for three consecutive terms. During my tenure as president, t he Undefeated Club was considered the most successful club on campus. If elected Executive Vice President, one of my goals is to bring a greater sense of community to our great $chool, so that when other CSU's look at us, they know who we are, we are CSUSM. We will not be considered just a commuter school or a group of students that use the same buildings on the same ground for our education. We will be CSUSM, in a united voice and mind. http://change.to/asiteam2000 My name is Penny Lanese, and I know I will be an excellent Vice President of External Affairs because I have pride in this University, love to travel, and I love to learn from other people. As Vice President of External a ffairs I hope to help rid the University of the "Commuter Campus" label. Many people attending this University choose to attend, and have the right to feel proud of their education. Conferences and social gatherings do help the overall system, and it is a valuable tool to travel to other campuses to learn how to fine-tune our own University. Because the job of the Vice President of External Affairs is to travel to other California State University campuses, I aspire to talk and learn how the other campuses dealt with similar problems that we currently have, namely: parking issues, fee increases, and lack of courses and majors. My nalne is Robin Milch and I am running for the office of External Vice President of Associated Students Incorporated. I transferred to this university from Mira Costa College in the fall of 1999. At Mira Costa, I was the Administrative Vice President as well as the Vice President of Programming. Through each of these positions I was able to acquire leadership skills along with a vast knowledge of how student organizations operate. On this campus I am currently the representative of College of Arts and Sciences. Through this position I have been dedicated to promoting student involvement on this campus, as well as representing the concerns of students. If I am elected External Vice President, I will be committed to building communication between ASI and students. I want to be your voice and to represent you and your needs on and off the campus with respect to the external community, locally and nationwide. Not only will I be able to bring experience to this position, but also I will be bringing my enthusiasm and dedication to student government. Together we can make a difference. My name is NeWsha Digius and I am running for the position of Vice President of External Affairs. I am a Communications major and I am planning to go to law school. I feel I would be an asset to the ASI for several reasons: my exp rience with ASI, my leadership nability, and my enthusiasm for student government. My experience with ASI began last year as the College of Business Representative. My second semester in ASI, I was^ elected interim Vice President of External Affairs The knowledge and experience I have gained as the VP of External Affairs makes me the best candidate for this position. I am knowledgeable about current legislation that directly affects CSUSM students. I am also familiar with the California State Student Association (CSSA), the CSU Board of Trustees, and the CSU system. I am an active member of Alpha Chi Omega, holding several positions including social chair, sophomore standards board representative, and the vice president of intellectual development. I am the president of the Peer Education and Support Club. Getting involved with ASI has enriched my enthusiasm for student government. I will endeavor to represent my constituents as the Vice President of External Affairs. Value-driven leadership is something that is difficult to instill, and I, Scott Crossman, would like to continue the changes that are being offered by the Associated Student Incorporated. I have been attending San Marcos for over three years now. My major is business administration - service sector management. I feel the position of Vice President of Finance is one that offers "real world" experience that will lead to nothing less than an enhancement of this campus. I feel that successful changes do not take place overnight and the position for which I am applying for will be challenging. My leadership roles began in high school with various student body positions as well as core roles in sports. Continuing on in work, my determination, enthusiasm, and perseverance led to promotions and eventually to departmental leadership roles. The curriculum in my major, Business Management, is based on sustaining a successful service sector business. The service is attending to the student body here at California State University San Marcos. The dedication and knowledge of this position, I feel, is in my horizon of success and education. The assets that come from this university are the same core values that I will take with me into office. My name is Samantha Beltram, and I am running for Vice President of Finance. I will be an asset to the Associated Students because I have experience as a leader on this campus. I bring experience as the chair of two clubs- AISES and Student-Parent Alliance (which is a club that myself and another single mother founded to promote campus awareness of the existence and needs of this portion of our student population.) I am experienced in how student government works as I have sat on the ICC representing AISES and served on the ASI's bylaws committee. Additionally, as I am raising a family while obtaining my education I have acquired life experience managing money via projecting and maintaining my family's annual budget, keeping accurate records, and maintaining a positive account status. On a final note, I am a highly motivated individual who is very customer service oriented, money management minded, team oriented and dedicated to addressing diverse needs and issues of a diverse student population. My name is Jocelyn Brown and I am running for the office of Corporate Secretary. I am a Biology major, and next year will be my third year at California State University San Marcos. Because of the experience, ideas, enthusiasm and goals that I have, I feel I would be a great asset to you, the students, as your ASI Corporate Secretary. I joined ASI late Fall of last year and currently serve as the Undergraduate Representative. I have been active in promoting forums for students to voice concerns, and I also serve on the Bylaws committee. I am familiar with minute taking and the duties and responsibilities of the Corporate Secretary. As your elected representative, I will strive to do my best to represent the student voice of CSUSM. I love being involved in student government and working towards student involvement and the enrichment of campus life. My name is Ron Hawkins and I am running for C orporate Secretary because I believe I can bring Honesty, Integrity, Knowledge and Experience to a position that i s in extreme need of all those things. I have numerous years as an administrator; I 'm mature enough not to play childish games with your money; I am a dedicated and determined individual by nature that will pursue excellence in all areas affecting student life. I will ensure that all information affecting students is available and is published in an efficient and timely manner. I will ensure that Agendas for all regular meetings will be published ahead of time. I will foster an attitude of service and openness that has heretofore been noticeably lacking. I will ensure that my vote will always be for what is best for the students, not for the ASI officers. I will ensure professionalism in all publications that are the responsibility of ASI, thereby ensuring all outside agencies perceive CSUSM as an outstanding university. Please Vote for Ron Hawkins for Corporate Secretary, and the slate of ASI Team 2000. My name is Tammy Conley and I am a liberal studies major applying for the position of ASI Childcare Rep. As a mother of a student as CSUSM, I hope to bring awareness to my fellow colleagues and surrounding community about the importance of student-parent support needed for those students who desire quality childcare. Along with raising awareness, I hope to work closely with the ASI Childcare Center to provide as many parenting resources for both the parents and the staff who �(Tuesday, April 18,2000 5 ®fje $ r t b e are associated with the program. Because my daughter attends the Early Learning Center, I have a special interest in making sure that my child and every child that attends the ELC is involved in a f un, safe, educational, enriching, and nurturing environment. I am currently the Vice President of the Parent and teachers Club and have participated in the ICC meetings and feel that the experience has and will help me achieve greatness in this position. My name is Roderick Frazier. I am a Communications and Literature and Writing Major, and I am your candidate for ASI Undergraduate Representative. I realize the changes that are so desperately needed at our school. There is a need for better student life on campus. If elected as Undergraduate Representative I plan to dedicate most of my time to bringing more student activities on campus. Ralph Ellison said, "It takes a deep commitment to change and an even deeper commitment to grow." As Undergraduate Representative I will commit to student life, and reach out to the incoming students. I plan to invest the time that it takes in order to make this campus grow. I am currently the president of the yearbook club, a member of the ICC Board, a member of the programming committee, a member of the president's council as well as working at the University Store. I am involved on campus on a daily basis. I will be an asset to ASI because of my deep passion for improving CSUSM for the students. I feel the it is my duty to improve the lives of every individual on campus, and to tirelessly improve the reputation of this school. My name is Wendy Meeks and I am currently a junior, majoring in Communication at CSUSM. I am applying for ASI Representative of Arts and Sciences. As an ASI Representative I would work toward increasing and enhancing , communication between the department and the students. I believe that it is crucial to encourage students to get involved in campus issues. As a student who is focused and committed to performing at the highest level, I understand the struggles and concerns facing students. Over the past four years I have volunteered for CSUSM's Annual "Celebration of Service," and over the past three years have acted as a group facilitator during the selection process. As a Study Abroad student in France, I learned how to adapt to new environments and still accomplish my goals. Finally, last semester I interned for Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, in Washington D.C., where I faced new and exciting challenges. While there, I had the opportunity to learn about the legislative process through my research of bills, attending committee meetings and responding to the concerns of constituents and contributing to the newsletter. It is my goal to bring my experience and commitment to strengthen communication, thereby- improving student and faculty relations. My name is Michael J. Miller and I am a Visual and Performing Arts Major. I'm running for the ASI representative for Arts and Sciences position on the ASI Board of Directors. Currently, I'm Vice Chair and co-founder of the Pride Alliance and I'm also the founder and president of Student Artists Association. Using my knowledge of student government, on and off campus connections and the skills that I have learned through various positions, I will commit myself to improving relations between faculty, staff, and students of the College of Arts and Sciences. I will use this position to bring the concerns of the students to ASI and to support the College of Arts and Sciences in every way that I possibly can. If given this opportunity, I will do my best to bring prestige and respect to our campus and to our student government. My name is Edward "Tad" Goddard and I want to be your College of Business Representative. I am currently active within the ASI Board Meetings and have more insight than most into how things are done. I've served on the Student Affairs Committee this semester. I've been a student here for four semesters now and have seen how our campus is changing. Some of these changes concern me. Are they taking our best interest into consideration? I want to make sure that they do. I don't want to see any needed programs bogged down in political filibustering or bad ones passed along without some thought. We need someone who will look out for student opportunities and make sure we can take advantage of them. I can make sure this is done. Jennifer Carroll I am a twenty four year old transfer student from Mesa College. I am a business major, with an emphasis on high technology management. I am a junior and am currently in my second semester attending CSU San Marcos. I am a member of Sigma Iota Epsilon, an honor society for business students. I desire to take an active role working with the administration for the benefit of students. I see ASI as a good vehicle for me to hone my leadership shills. As a College of Business Representative, I will conduct more open forums, establish direct communication between the College of Business Dean and its students, focusing on their needs and concerns. I will also offer more literature and information about the College of Business to students enabling them to "get the most" out of their experience here at CSU San Marcos. I am a hard worker, dedicated to achieving excellence.

This is written in response to that piece, and to provide CSUSM students with additional information. The development of Greek life at CSUSM has been ongoing since 1992. At that time students indicated an interest in beginning to develop Greek opportunities to enhance the student experience. Through 1994/95 a selection process was undertaken, underscoring to interested national affiliates that the campus wanted to slowly begin developing a Greek community that would model and embrace a strong commitment to the cultural, ethnic, age, and lifestyle diversity of our student body. Invitations to submit letter of interest were sent to all NPC, IFC, and NPHC nationally recognized social sororities and fraternal organizations, nineteen responded positively. Eight national organizations were interviewed and 4 were selected; 2 fraternities and 2 sororities. At a recent student meeting held on March 23rd with the Vice President for Student Affairs, a concern was raised regarding "promises" made to earlier organizations that would preclude any addition of ethnic based chapters. This meeting prompted additional research and review of archival materials. A decision has been made by the Vice President for Student Affairs to review the level of current interest and to more assertively promote the process to grow our Greek community. A meeting with appropriate campus personnel to oversee this process has already been scheduled. What developed were very strong service-based organizations, participating in a variety of campus and community projects. As our campus has changed in the number of students, differing needs for campus life and in a more diverse need base for develThe opinion piece very oping a sense of community, so strongly asserts that the adminishave the expectations for Greek tration is "blocking" the expanlife. sion of the Greek system.

In fact, over the past 2-3 years several meetings were held with interested students and the Center for Student Involvement staff (now known as Student & Residential Life) to assist them in understanding the process to bring new organizations to campus. Additionally, no proposal/plan for expansion has been presented to President Gonzalez for his consideration. In the absence of a proposal he has not communicated any disinterest or lack of support for expansion. Quite the contrary, he has sent a clear message to Student Affairs that the campus life/ student life opportunities for CSUSM students must be increased. l ots, nor room to put t hem. v ices.

All proceeds from Spring Fest 2000 will support ehildcare services on campus. Novelty games, such as trampoline jumping, sumo wrestling, and a blow-up obstacle course, provided f un for both children and adults. One favorite was "Cameron the Caterpillar," a huge plastic chute for kids to crawl through. Other activities for children included a human bowling game and a 26foot inflatable slide. The youngsters were given balloons and could have their faces painted. Two local bands named Klownfish and Handful provided live entertainment for the event. Campus clubs held refreshment booths to try help raise money for their perspectiye clubs. Circle K International sold lemonade and snow cones. Mr. Taco sold Mexican food for approximately $3-5 per plate. The San Marcos fire department had a fire truck on display and CSUSM campus police showed off their vehicles as well. The Mapapa Acrobats capped off the day with an exciting performance of leaps, flips, and tumbles. Originally from Kenya, the group began performing in Europe, and currently travel the U.S. performing their acrobatics. The event ended with a hat contest where contestants won gift certificates to local businesses and free passes to Knott's Berry Farm. TRACK Cont. From Pg. 2 Every day from 3:00pm - 5:30pm, you can find women sweating it out as they do workouts designed by head coach Steve Scott and assistant coach Wes Williams-all in anticipation of stepping off the plane in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada to participate at the NAIA Nationals May 2 4-May 27. So as you stress out aboutfinals,think of these women and the prestige they are bringing to Cal State San Marcos. The women who round off the team are: Leslie Akers (800), Nicole Feehan (sprints, pole vault), Tara Hardee (throws), Denaye' Lakotich (hurdles, pole vault), Lorena Reyes (distance), Amanda Poniktera (throws) and Camille Wilborn (distance). Keep up with the women and men track teams on their web page, http://www.csusm.edu/track, where results and pictures are posted weekly. 1 ?

Earth Day is about people taking action in thenown communities for a cleaner, healthier environment. Earlier Earth Days lead to a push on such causes as recycling, but this year organizers hope their energy agenda will lead consumers, government agencies, and businesses to expand conservation efforts and the use of cleaner forms of energy, such as solar and wind power. The agenda also includes tougher pollution standards for cars, appliances, and lactones. III? Here are two local events to check out:. Powav 2000 Earth Arbor Dav, April 22-23.

Orfalea voiced his desire to donate a child care center to California State University San Marcos in visits with campus dignitaries and reporters. "That's my cause," Orfalea stated, and also noted that he has donated child care centers to other colleges and universities, Orfalea likes to think that it was his ability to notice what others overlooked, or not bothered to understand, that has given him the edge in business. Orfalea has built a small student-service copy center into a chain of more than one thousand stores located around the world. After years of heading Kinko's, Paul Orfalea says he is ready to hang up his CEO hat, and share his hard won success with others.

Some teach at as many as four institutions in a single week. They are sometimes called "freewayflyers"because they spend so much time traveling between jobs. Many have no contract, no benefits, no security, and, some say, no respect. They are adjunct faculty, and public colleges and universities are increasingly relying on them as inexpensive providers ofhigher education. Belinda Peters is one adjunct faculty member who has had enough ofwhat she calls the "deprofessionalization" of university teaching. She is leaving academia at the end ofthe semester after teaching history parttime at CSUSM for more than three years. Peters said she has no other choice but to seek work in another field because she has been unable tofinda full-time position as a history professor. "It was a hard decision, because I like teaching," Peters said. Many of Peter's students are upset that she is leaving.

This will open to traffic before the old bridge is destroyed and phase two, a second three-lane bridge, is built in its place. Phase two is expected to be completed in the spring of2001. In the near future, sporadic daytime closures can be expected at the east-bound on ramp for paving. Also the east-bound off ramp is subject to closures from 8:30am 3:00pm to allow for underground activity. These closures should not pose a major inconvenience, and dates for closures are always posted on the CSUSM web site. According to John Tiersman ofWier Construction they are only closing roads as the contract calls for it. "It is a city The Twin Oaks Valley Bridge of San Marcos contract and Cal Trans manages it." The demolition of the old bridge will be done only when phase one of the new bridge is fully functional. Phase one of the bridge is being built with a complete system ofpower lines (water, gas, telephone, and cable) so there will be no disruption in the power supply. It is all a matter of "San Diego Gas & Electric throwing a switch" according to Nichols. The demolition of the old bridge is a night job so thefreewaywill only be closed at night when the old bridge is destroyed. The old bridge will be taken apart, safely, piece by piece. It is a "fairly quick process," according to Nichols. Cathy Wier, the President of Wier Construction, urges all drivers to be patient with the current construction. "It is a construction sight, so be safe. Any cooperation from drivers is appreciated." PAUL BLANCHARD/raE PRIDE �Harry E.

Shanna Skidmore PRIDE STAFF WRITER �C f) e $ ribe ORFALEA Cont. From pg. 1 ness; and Valorie Ashley, Director ASI was not notified of Orfalea's it's the people that turn you on. of Development in the College of He claims, "The predilection is the busy work. People forget to see what the hell is going on. They're working too hard... There's something about sleep you know... People should lighten up and look around. Busy people see today and yesterday, not tomorrow." Orfalea has been looking around the CSUSM campus for several years. Bemoaning the absence of a child care center on campus, Orfalea said, "I can't image how a big institution can't afford child care." Although it is not clear at this time if a child care center will actually become a reality, during an informal interview prior to his seminar; Orfalea stated "I'm really with you on having day care here. I'm thinking about donating a child care center here." Others at the informal interview included local reporters; Regina Eisenbach, Interim Associate Dean of the College of Busi- Business. Upon learning that the campus had developed an off-campus child care program since his last visit, Orfalea wanted to know more about theASI Early Learning Center. Orfalea was excited to learn about the CSUSM students' consensus to support the campus child care center. "Maybe we can match the fees," he said with a smile. It has long been the hope and dream of Associated Students and the University community to have an on campus facility that could grow with student needs for quality child care services. The Office of University Development handles most fund raising for campus building projects. Negotiating for large donations is typically not the realm of Associated Students, though they have the charge offunding and operating campus child care. Indeed, rekindled interest in the university, or an on-campus child care facility. While ASI has made significant progress towards the goal of an oncampus center, Director of Development, Linda Fogerson says, "We are totally supportive ofhelping ASI bring a child care center to campus. We will do whatever we can to help make this dream a reality." Associated Students operates the ASI Early Learning Center, an off-campus facility for the children of students, faculty and staff. The Center is licensed for 48 children, most of which are children of Cal State San Marcos students. Funding for the center comesfroma mixture of student fees, tuition at the Early Learning Center, and some donation funds. Student fees collected for child care are processed through the Associated Students' budget. I like the feel of the campus, smiled Orfalea. "I like the people; They'refriendly.It's a brand new culture." As he toured the campus, he noted that people walking on the track, walking to classes, and walking through the halls tend to walk in pairs or small groups intent on discussion. Orfalea has taught at numerous colleges and universities like Harvard, Yale, UC Santa Barbara, and Cal Poly. He noted that on his last trip to Stanford that most of the students there tend to walk alone. It is not yet clear if Orfalea intends to follow up on his desire to help CSUSM bring a child care center on campus. He'll have more time now to consider it. Orfalea wanted to tour the existing off-campus Early Learning Center, but his tight schedule prevented him His private jet was scheduled to take off on March 24 at 1:30pm Tuesday, April 11,2000 5 W o r d s rc> L ive B y June Hodges Always do your best.

Whatever reaction you feel determines Greekfraternities/sororitiesfor Blacks and Latinos would be student-led outreach and retention organizations that would give minorities an opportunity to bond while engaging in community service. More importantly, it would give many minorities the motivation to stay in college and not drop out. A Black sorority can be a cultural oasis, according to a graduate student who was in a Black sorority at another university. She said she sometimes felt isolated, alone, or different in a classroom where she was sometimes the only black female student. There are also certain manifes- tations of cultural affirmation that cannot be providedfroman individual of another culture. It is idealistic to think that everyone who is willing to bond through "brotherhood/ sisterhood" would do so in a cultural melting pot organization. I am in afraternitysuch as this: the Brotherhood of the Highest Order, the EJand of Brothers, Leathernecks, the United States Marine Corp. But, in reality, individuals in minority cultural groups who have grown up with their own kind can only bond in this matter or are forced to due to economic circumstances. For President Gonzales to block the expan- sion of the Greek System because of his cultural experience or his unwillingness to acknowledge this reality demonstrates a total disregard for the experience of other cultural groups growing up in the United States. Most CSU and UC schools have black and Latino fraternities/ sororities. Expanding the system would more than likely attract and retain these groups at CSUSM.

Based on the true story of an educated man living as a bohemian on the streets of New York City in the 1940's, the story focuses on the relationship that develops when Joseph Mitchell, a writer for the New Yorker Magazine, does a story about Joseph Gould. Gould, better known as Professor Seagull because he is said to know the language of the birds, is an eccentric man who chooses to live on the streets. He has given up his life as a scholar so that he may record the conversations of ordinary people. His life's obsession, the record of common dialogue is what Gould considers the "true history" of people, "The Oral History of Our Time." In a state between madness and genius, and surviving on money given to him by friends and strangers, Joe Gould takes Mr. Mitchell (and the viewer) on a whirlwind tour of New York society. From overcrowdedflophousesto high society parties, every moment of thisfilmis genuine and well done. Ian Holm, spectacular in his display of emotion, is both captivating and convincing as Joe Gould. Stanley Tucci, who also stars as Joe Mitchell, directed thisfilmwith an artful eye, paying attention to the minutest details. From voyeuristic cinematography to splendid costumes, thisfilmhit every mark. There was not one poor performance in this two-hour movie. Although Susan Sarandon and Steve Martin make short guest performances, this is not a mainstream movie and will probably not appear in theaters for long. So go to theaters while you can and pay the outrageous price to see Joe Gould's Secret-it is worth every single cent.

"Gas prices have affected my driving habits," says Accounting majorAmy Joyce Hernandez, a Junior. "I now have to think before I go anywhere. I try to stay in town and get everything done in one trip... I'm hot going back ... that's two dollars!" Amy explains. "It cost me $34 to get gas and a car wash. I plan onflyingto Vegas now for Spring Break instead of driving. It's cheaper for me to fly," says Kurt Bussche, a Junior Computer Science major. Kurt was one of many students to alter or scale down their plans for Spring Break as students looked for ways to cope with rising gas prices. Student Kevin Lavin settled for a Friday of margaritas in an Old Town restaurant instead of his usual Spring Break vacation in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico because of gas prices. Kevin explains, "I live in Nothing Gets in the Way of Orange County and commute [to Spring Break? CSUSM] for work and school. No way could I have gone.

Eric Mahan who has only managed the station for three months, expresses some frustration that their customers think they have a lot of control over gas prices, "Our mark-up is only $.05 to $. 10 per gallon of gas." Mahan is concerned that efforts intended to send a message to the big corporations, like "Gas Out" and not buying gas on Fridays, will hurt the smaller stations, like the one he manages, that serve smaller local markets. He stresses^"On top of what our suppliers charge us, we prices at the pump right now than have to pay 37.8 cents per gallon in OPEC's price per barrel. state and federal taxes. That's added to the cost of gas to the customer. Gas and Learn Then they pay .075 cents in sales Higher gas prices may have taxes on top of that. It's a tax on a tax."

HTM major Kenneth Ooi, a Senior, says, "We have made ourselves so dependent on gas. However much they raise the prices, we'll pay it. I 'm paying for my gas habit by thinking twice about where I go, it has forced me to carpool, and I give up luxuries because I'm spending all my money on gas." Ken Ooi explains how he copes, "I shop around for the lowest prices and by at the closest station. The Arco by Sycamore has it for $1.73." Junior Carissa Morales, a History major says gas prices benefited her scholastically during Spring Break, "I'm a commuter. Ten bucks in my tank Saturday, ten more on Sunday.

A style she describes as a "general arrangement of collaboration and partnership between students and myself that we create in a learning space together" also helped students value one another's input and develop relationships with one another. Professor Crowdes says that each teacher has his or her own unique Style that works in the classroom. She credits the Sociology and Social Sciences Departments with what she describes as "a very supportive faculty and administration that are an important blessing for me." "Support counts a lot for me," says Professor Crowdes, "It makes me less scared to try stuff." She says this award has encouraged her to use her same techniques in the classroom and to include E. more student participation to make her teaching even better. Professor Crowdes stated, "I really love and appreciate students who did this. I'm really there for them." The President's award recognizes and rewards faculty members who "introduce new and innovative techniques, methodologies, exercises, methods of delivery or use of technology in teaching, that engage students and produce a significant impact on their ability to learn and retain knowledge." All current faculty are eligible and only currently enrolled students are eligible to nominate faculty members. Students submit a letter of nomination that discusses the innovation in teaching (i.e. What was new or different about the teaching, methodology, techniques, etc.?) and how the innovation helped the student learn and retain the lesson. A nomination committee (consisting of two current students from ASI, one faculty member chosen by the Academic Senate, and an individual appointed by the President) reviews the nominations. The nomination committee will choose at least two candidates and give their recommendations to the President, who will make thefinalselection. The deadline for students to turn in their nominations i s set for April 17,2000, and the award announcement is set for May 19,2000, during commencement.

The family lost their •land during the Depression years and as a result, Chavez began work as a migrant farm worker at the age of ten.

ROMEO MUST PIE Brian Fisher PRIDE STAFF WRITER Jet Li, star of Black Mask, Lethal Weapon 4 and Fist of Legend, returns to American theaters in his latest film dubbed Romeo Must Die. Jet Li plays Han Sing, a respected and accomplished ex-cop wrongly imprisoned in a Hong Kong jail. When he learns of his brother Po's murder (played by Jon Kit Lee), it is only a matter of time before he reaches the coastlfne of America. The film also stars DMX (Silk), Russel Wong (Kai Sing), Isaiah Washington (Mac), and Aaliyah (Trish O'day). Romeo Must Die, directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak, is entirely structured around an exchange of revenge, deception and betrayal. Although it would seem that the film would have little humor (given its themes), it calls for more laughing See ROMEO Pg.5 �ROMEO Cont.

Angelou sang and read poetry at Cox arena in San Diego, Friday night, March 17. There are too many people willing to accept racial slurs, according to Angelou.

Edgar Allen Pqe is one of Angelou's % favorite poets, and she loves to read his poems out loud. "Poems are meant to be spoken, not only read," said Angelou. She then spoke from memory Poe's "Raven." Angelou's voice was deep and soothing as she began "Raven," but the reading soon turned into a rendition of "Raven" as a rap song. The audience laughed as she began to strut to her song. ( DeeCtna CJ Melanie Addington PRIDE STAFF WRITER At the Thursday, March 9,2000 premiere of the Meeting Grace concert house in Golden Hills, forty fans enjoyed coffee and homemade desserts while they listened to the music of Dead Rock West, Berkley Hart (last year's winner of the New Folk Songwriter Competition in Texas), and Gregory Page. Softly lit candles scattered throughout the room provided ample light. Chairs gently set on the woodenfloorsprovided a perfect view to the corner of the room that was set aside as the stage. Atfirsttensionfilledthe room because, for many, a concert in someone's home was a new experience. Lizzie Wann, creator of Meeting Grace and owner of the home, warmly welcomed the guests. Laughter f rom the audience was common throughout the evening; Angelou states that her "poetry is actually touching people and making a difference." She told a touching story about her son having surgery after going into organ failure. Angelou received a call from her son after visiting him in the hospital. He asked her to read "Recovery," which Angelou often read to her son when he was a child, and that she in turn read for the audience. When she finished reading it to her son over the phone, he told her she "forgot a verse," so they recited the poem together. When they f inished, her son thanked her because he had j ust had 190 stitches taken out as they recited the poem together. Angelou 'ended the evening with a poem about women being phenomenal. Again she made the audience laugh as she gave a short rant on how wonderful women are, "not to discount that men are phenomenal, but you men have to write your own poem." Angelou gave a dignified bow as she left the stage and carefully walked off the steps of the stage. The audience gave her a standing ovation and an audience member said, "I wish this was a concert so she would come back for an encore." On the Meeting Grace T-shirts, Lizzie Wann quotes Woodie Guthrie, an infamous folk singer, to try and explain the reason for house concerts. Guthrie says, "I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work. I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs and to sing the kind that knock you down still farther and the ones that poke fun at you even more and the ones that make you think you've not any sense at all. But I decided a long time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. The radio waves... are already loaded down and running over with such no good songs as that anyhow." Playing a mix of covers and his own works, Gregory Page easily slipped into the storyteller role as each song unfolded a different part of his musical genius. With songs like, Jimmy Page's "Going to California," the crowd swayed in time with the guitar. "Buffalo Hunters," sang with Frank Drennen, was upbeat but the words stabbed at the heart of our nation's darker history. Page's soft, soulful voice filled the room with passionate longing—I was mesmerized by its beauty, and yet imperfection as well. Afterwards, sipping coffefe and buying Music for Mortals, the new Page cd, I asked him where he gets his ideas. He said that they don't come often enough but justfrom"ya know" as he shrugged with the humility of a true artist. As other writers before me have said, this is one star destined to light up the sky with his brilliance. Berkley Hart's songs were primarily country, but their use of a Djembe (African) drum was beautiful and hit right into my heart. Their final song came with fair warning to "grab tissues now!" "Barrel of Rain" is the most beautiful melody about sorrow and despair of true, everlasting love. It touched all of us as we silently stared in anguish as they played on. At the beginning of the night, the crowd was able to relax and enjoy the harmonization of Dead Rock West. Their highlight was a song titled "Lust, Flesh and Pride/' in the style of Indigo Girls. Wasserman sang the lead in a strong but timid voice. Themes of love, sex, and all the metaphors in between provided this song with quite a bit of heart. Dead Rock West are poignant, American folks and their music follows suit. Somehow every slight technical mistake made the entire show down to earth. Lights and smoke and electric everything has become so commonplace that to be able to sit down with a small crowd and just relax to some quiet acoustic music refreshed my spirit. In between songs, the banter between musicians was light and easy going butfilledwith enough dry humor that the crowd roared with laughter. Another fan, David Randle stated, "I am going to be telling everyone I know about your wonderful venue. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality and generous spirit to do all of this for the music community." Meeting Grace will continually run concerts every six weeks. Eve Selis performs next on April 27th. Tickets are ten dollars and include coffee and dessert. If great music in a relaxing atmosphere is your idea of a great night, you can contact Lizzie Wann for tickets.

B itch-Bitch-Bitch J. Jirard Patmon Bitchers of CSUSM unite! It is time my fellow bitch-o-holics to join together in dysfunctional solidarity. Let us be one with the spirit of the bitch. We bitch therefore we are! We endure 78 east from San Marcos Blvd to Nordhal, we have suffered through the 15 south connector and the 78, we are chastened by the 15 north and the 78 west connector in the mornings, tormented by the "triangle", browbeaten on the way to the airport during any holiday, assaulted by poor parking spaces everywhere but specifically at CSUSM, incensed by the Dome food, outraged by textbook prices, flabbergasted by long lines, shocked and appalled with bad haircuts, enraged by dirty dishes in the sink, disgruntled with unresponsive lovers, bewildered by lack of monetary stability, hateful of Republicans and Democrats, shell-shocked about gas prices, pissed off about promptness of food and beverage delivery at eating establishments. We bitch about how much we bitch, how slow the Internet is moving, about apathetic students, apathetic professors, apathetic administrators, walking up stairs, library services, proposition you name it! I am a Jedi knight of bitching, I have trained diligently, spent hours upon hours practicing with one of the most prolific bitchers known to man; my mother. I am primed, tuned and ready to bitch. So when I read fellow bitchers' comments about the Cashiers Office I came to the stark realization; bitchers of today are bitching just to bitch. My fellow bitcher, do you think Paula Cameron, Tanya Calienta, Teressa Romero and Alma McFarland have anything to do with the price of parking pennits, YOUR late fee or any other frivolous bitch? These individuals are respectful, efficient, and friendly, considering they deal with you on a daily basis. I wonder how much bitching you or your bitching cohort would do if you worked on this campus and had to deal with asinine UNINFORMED bitchers like yourself? So as you BITCH about the Cashiers office ask yourself these questions: are you involved with voting in all arenas: School, Local, State, Federal? Also ask yourself: what are you doing to change things? Or are you running your mouth and needlessly wasting air just to hear yourself bitch? My suggestion to anyone who has any great ideas how to run a department at CSUSM, go work or intern there and see if your attitude doesn't change. Some things suck in life: traffic, lovers, gas prices etc... These things can be dealt with on a more positive note. Plus I am sick of hearing you bitch and I am sick of tolerating my own bitching because no one wants to hear it. OPINION a rose/By any other name would smell as the rules) . What good would that be?

Just a few hundred years ago, the author, her books, and the audience all would have been burned for even considering her ideas. Although things have changed considerably, she said, our society is still modeled on a "dominator model," one in which everything is based on "superiority or inferiority, controlling or being controlled/' Dr. Eisler, a noted author, speaker, and cultural historian, presented "Our Story: The World From a Partnership Perspective" at CSUSM on Thursday* March 23 as part of Women's Herstory Month. The author of Sacred Pleasures and The Chalice and the Blade shared observations based on three decades of "reexamining our past, our present, and the possibility for our future." We dismiss earlier, equitable societies as primitive, she said, and insist on applying the dominator model to everything else. "Ifit wasn't patriarchy it must be matriarchy," she said. "Aren't these just two sides of the same dominator model?" .

Carolina Cardenas is the Director of ACCESS, the academic program which oversees GEAR UP, SASOP & Upward Bound. In the March 13, 2000 issue of The Pride, the edi tors would like to clarify information in Pride Staff Writer Amanda Bergara's article "The National Latino Research Center Benefits CSUSM Students, Faculty and Community". Concerning thefirstsentence ofthe article, the NLRC can only be considered "a major institution concerned with disseminating research throughout the country,'* according to Dr. Soriano, i.e. the NLRC could be considered a "hub" for providing information regarding nationwide research on Latino populations, but not for actual "nationwide research." In the first sentence of the second paragraph, the NLRC is piloting the Youth Research Center, and one of its projects is to study "the precise issues and barriers preventing studentsfromcompleting high school," but is not the Youth Research Center's sole purpose. ; Thomas Jefferson School of Law A Qreat Legal Education... and sSo Miuch We provide More We care about our tudents and t shows. an outstanding legal education in a supportive, collegial atmosphere with innovative academic programs.

An average of 90 students and faculty ride in the regular gasoline powered, full-sized shuttle van each day, and Parking Services is investigating the practicality ofpurchasing an eight-passenger electric cart to supplement the wheelchair accessible van. Fuel costs for Parking Services' vehicles amount to over $1,000 each month, and the decrease in operating costs for the electric cart are expected to offset its $10,000 price tag. Afinaldecision on the purchase of the Club Car cart won't be made "for quite some time," according to Dora Knoblock, Director ofParking Services.

Addi- The National Latino Research Center Benefits CSUSM Students, Faculty and Community I Amanda Bergara PRIDE STAFF WRITER CSUSM has established itself as the hub for nationwide research on Latino populations. The National Latino Research Center (NLRC) is a research facility established at CSUSM in August 1999. Currently, the NLRC is conducting a program evaluation for the Logan Heights Community Health Center, evaluating its Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Program. The NLRC's main purposes are to increase awareness of what are both known and unknown about Latino populations in the U.S., and to help increase the training and competence of researchers working within these fields. One of the NLRC's projects is the piloting of a Youth Research Institute, which studies the precise issues and barriers preventing students from completing high school. An intervention program will be implemented for high school students at risk of dropping out. Initially, this research will focus on Latino youth, and later expand to other minority and non-minority groups. The NLRC is also developing a proposal to conduct a national study on the health and well being of Latino populations. The NLRC's mission is "to promote valid and reliable data fHP | T™ £ | New Parking Cart tionally, their duties have changed from patrolling for "enforcement" to patrolling for "compliance." "We're not out to give citations," said Cindi Peters, Parking Services Field Supervisor. All written material referring to Parking Services will reflect these changes by late summer. The change towards becomregarding Latinos. Data collection, translation [services] and our other services increase our understanding of this numerically significant population," stated Soriano. The NLRC also provides services for the research community such as needs-assessment, surveys, web page creation for conferences, technical assistance, data analysis, and program evaluations. The NLRC benefits CSUSM students and faculty specifically by providing internships, service learning opportunities, research training programs, and jobs. Students can either work as research and program assistants or propose their own research efforts supervised by NLRC staff. Both students and faculty can obtain referrals from the NLRC for assistance in conducting their own research. Faculty may obtain assistance in securing funding for their research if it has relevance to Latino populations, as well as head research projects for the NLRC. Soriano said that a CSUSM faculty member is currently heading a research effort on Hispanics and mental health. NLRC research activities span the country, with current projects in New Haven, Conn., Miami, Fla. and Washington DC with local projects that include program evaluations of communitybased agencies like the teenage pregnancy prevention program in Logan Heights. The NLRC is located offcampus at 1 Civic Center Drive, Suite 150, San Marcos. For further information, contact the NLRC at (760) 750-3500 or nlrc@csusm.edu. The NLRC web site offers information on services and current research projects and can be found at www.csusm.edu/ nlrc. MIKE SPANGLER/rffis PRIDE ing a more approachable campus entity began last summer when the department changed from wearing stark uniforms to light blue polo shirts. Last semester's opening of the Parking/Services Information Booth also reflects a dedication to customer service. The information booth is often the first person-toperson contact visitors make with the university, and the booth is frequently stocked with maps and fliers on events. The booth does not handle money or have change, but Parking Services Representatives are there to explain the most efficient and compliant parking options available to visitors, students, and faculty/staff, said Peters. P residential Primary ally fair and civil. McCain said on Thursday that he was "no longer an active candidate for [his] party's nomination for president," but he would not endorse Bush as the Republican party nominee. The campaign between Bush and McCain was often heated. McCain had called for a clean campaign after advertisements were run in New York that alleged McCain opposed funds for breast cancer research. McCain also wanted Bush to endorse campaign finance reform, but Bush would not. Gore wants to ban "soft money" from the campaign and has challenged Bush to do the same. Gore wants them both to refuse any "soft money" and commit to two debates a week. Bush has not accepted the challenge to refuse "soft money", and so both candidates continue to accept excess money.

Results of the May 7 election showed A1 Gore sweeping all of the states for his party's nomination. George W. Bush took nine out of the 13 states voting, and McCain won four New England states.

Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER Although the presidential primary was the main attraction, California's propositions generated most of the controversies after Tuesday's primary election. Of the propositions on the ballot, Prop 21, which strengthened California juvenile justice statutes, and Prop 22, which prohibits gay majriages in the state, were of particular concern on campus. Prop 21 was strongly opposed by the CSUSM MEChA chapter, while the gay and lesbian club, the Pride Alliance, opposed Prop 22 Ricardo Favela, Vice President of MEChA, stated, "The passage of 21 was expected." When asked why the group opposed a bill that stiffens penalties for juvenile offenders, Favela stated, "There is absolutely no justification to increase penalties for only black and brown youth, especially after the crime rate has dropped for the seventh year in a row." The other controversial proposition, Prop 22, was also passed by a large margin. Professor Don Barrett, who on Monday passed out flyers urging students to vote "No on Knight", was not surprised by Prop 22 passing. Barrett stated, "The election overall was depressing. The strong passage of 22 was depressing since it was a pointless measure." Although Professor Barrett was opposed to Prop 22, he stated, "Gay marriages may not be in our best interests, but we should have the rights and privileges of married couples." Mike Sanella of the CSUSM College Republicans was pleased Sarah Smith overall by the elections. He said that by passing Propositions 21 PRIDE STAFF WRITER and 22, it proves that "California Imagine voting in your is in a middle point that can go in ajamas a any direction."

Instead, Arizona Democrats could register to vote online early or at the polls on Election Day. Early voting started on March 7 at 12:01am and ended on March 10 at 11:59pm. Online voters must enter their personal identification number and a few questions to verify their identity before being able to vote. Once they enter the voting portion, they just point and click on the candidate's name they want to vote for, or "yes" or "no" on propositions. When they are done voting they can print out an election certificate to commemorate the historic moment of voting online. The Voting Integrity Project based in Virginia filed a lawsuit against Arizona's online voting. The suit cited that voting online would "harm voting rights of the poor and minorities who have less computer access than wealthier whites." A judge refused to stop the Arizona online portion of the primary, and the Project plans to challenge the results of the Arizona election. will also give Americans who are overseas, or simply out of town on Election Day, the opportunity to vote without having to request an absentee ballot.

Ken Nwadakie, a freshman political science major and member of the Cougar track and cross-country teams, chose to attend CSUSM because of the influence of another individual. When Ken Nwadakie called up his high school rival, Marcus Chandler to find out where he planned to continue his running, Nwadakie was surprised to hear Chandler's answer, "California State University, San Marcos." Initially Nwadakie was uninterested in attending such a new and small campus, like CSUSM. Instead he had gained interest in USC, UCLA and Azusa Pacific, campuses with distinguished track andfieldprograms. However Nwadakie considered that if Marcus Chandler, a California State High Eighteen-year-old Ken's road to CSUSM School Mile champion, was attending was long and tenuous.

Is it fake? Is it a sport? Is it entertainment?" These questions can be asked of Beyond the Mat (Lions Gate Films), a movie that capitalizes on professional wrestling's growing appeal. Yes, I said appeal. I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I enjoyed the f ilm. No, I am not a fan of professional wrestling. In the opening sequence, the f ilm's writer, director, and narrator, Barry Blaustein (co-writer of The Nutty Professor and Coming to America), asks these four questions that drive the film through its 1-hour 43-minutes, ultimately a behind-the-scenes look into the personal and professional lives of several wrestlers. Shot over three years as a doc- % \)t $ r t b e umentary, Beyond the Mat reveals the wrestler's lives as defined by opposing forces. They are loving fathers and masochistic showmen; idolized role models and crack addicts; virile warriors and broken-down old men. scalp. Foley is shown the video of his children's cries, leading him t o speak of retirement. I am left with no question about the sincerity of the footage, the reactions of Foley's children, and the reactions of Foley himself. At a low point in the movie, one segment shows melodramatic, overacting promoter Roland Alexander guiding struggling wrestlerwannabes (Mike Modest and Tony Jones) towards the big time of the WWF (World Wrestling. Federation). Alexander's desire to see his face on screen obviously motivates him to sob crocodile tears into the camera, saying, "These guys deserve a chance." Beyond the Mat is an immensely entertaining documentary for its glimpses of reality. It actually exposes the looming doubt that hangs over many of the details that stem from professional wrestling's scripted antics. This f ilm also rewards those who don't wait for the video to come out. The movie-going audience's participation is almost guaranteed, as die-hard fans alternately "pop" (wrestling jargon for an audience's explosive reaction) and heckle at the screen whenever a particularly motivating monologue or stunt is performed. There are some slowmoving parts, like when Jake "The Snake" reunites with his daughter, but on a 5-point scale I rate it a solid 4. Fortunately, the f ilm explores more believable territory when it follows the lives of Mick Foley, a.k.a. "Mankind," a.k.a "Cactus Jack," and his family. The (arguably) most clever and heartwrenching footage comes just over an hour into the movie when scenes of Foley being pummeled by "The Rock" are mixed with Rated R for violence and scenes of Foley's wife (Collette), strong language. and two children (both under the age of 5) cringing, crying, and eventually fleeing the arena. Later, backstage footage shows a blooddrenched Mick Fole> trying to comfort his kids saying, "It's a little boo-boo. (pause) It's big boo-boo."

Drown Mona ing Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER White trash, inane one-liners, and stupid people entwine the dull plot ofDrowning Mona. This movie is rated PG-13 for some bad language, a small amount of sex, and unbelievable violence^ The movie opens with the drowning of Mona (played by Bette Midler) and leaves the viewer with nothing to look forward to. The chase to find the murderer begins; and of course the plot isn't simple, otherwise the viewer would be lucky enough to have the movie end in 20 minutes. The tangled plot contains flashbacks, too many Yugos, and irritating sub plots, one that exposes the mental neurosis of Rona (played by Jamie Lee Curtis). Casey Affleck (Ben Affleck's little brother) is one of the main stars of the movie, and one of the more stupid characters. His annoying baby voice made me cringe throughout the entire movie, and when off-screen, I dreaded the moment right when he came back on. Casey Affleck has also played in 200 Cigarettes, Chasing Amy and Good Will Hunting, among others. He will also be seen in Committed, a film scheduled for release later this year. The large well-known cast is die only reason this movie has any potential for success. Danny DeVito and Neve Campbell join Curtis, Affleck and Midler in a troupe with bad southern accents. This is thefirstproduced screenplay that Peter L. Steinfeld has written and hopefully his last. Director Nick Gomez has produced three other movies, none of which were well known and probably for good reason. Hopefully this movie will drown out of my memory, but this is unlikely since myfianceeloved it and collected several "I love my Yugo" stickers after the show.

Prop 1 A: Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. It's none of California's business. Indian gaming is a complicated issue. It brings both prosperity and problems to Native American communities. Prop 1A has one fatalflawthough. Whether you think that Indian gaming is good or bad, whether you're a capitalistic extremist who believes that the poor and oppressed are that way because they are lazy or you're an ideological communist who wants fair distribution of capital, IT'S NONE OF CALIFORNIA'S BUSINESS. Dictating what Native Americans can do and what they must do on their own land (or at least the scraps of land the government has given back to them) is continuing the rape of the Native American people. Even if it is within the law, it is no excuse. Much ofthe mountain of injustices European Americans has dumped on Native Americans was done within the law. We have already slaughtered them, taken their homeland, destroyed much of their culture, and attempted to strip them of their dignity. The VERY least that the non-Native Americans can do is to respect the remaining Native Americans and their dignity by acknowledgeing their autonomy on their own land. A no vote on 1A would have hurt the Native Americans, but anyone who walked away from the ballot box after voting yes feeling that they had done a good deed are fooling themselves and were tricked into supporting the ongoing exploitation. Onefinalthought to my brother and sister European Americans: since the Native Americans are 'Native', that makes u s'Alien' Americans.

BE ALL YOII CAN B E vwww.goarmy.com �Dear Editors: I had to write regarding the recent remarks made by ASI Vice President Robert Radovich. I am really not sure where he gets off calling anyone ignorant with the ASI's BLATANT disregard for the governing rules. Last year, case in point, when I asked a member, "why did you give Christmas bonuses?" he replied that "it's a job, everyone gets a Christmas bonus." I am wondering in which fairy tale THAT exists! Let me point out a few things that may interest anyone who may care: -In the winter session, ASI fees are $45 or roughly 14% of the total fees for taking one class. -For Spring 2000, you paid $35 in "recreation fees"(I mean, aren't video games recreation, why is ASI paying for that??), $50 in ASI fees, and another $20 in student union fees...contrast that to local community colleges where paying for the "ASI savings" only costs you $10-20 (voluntarily) per semester and you get discounts on things you USE, like the BOOKSTORE (5-10% in fact). Student Representation at these colleges is $1 (Mesa) -How many people really benefit from free BBQ lunches?? Personally, I'd rather have some of my money back and go to the Dome as I don't eat hot dogs. -How many people would rather have a new video game over having some of these fees back? I don't have time to play games.. -I work so I can't take kickboxing or yoga or attend these concerts, other things I don't use... I don't want to criticize those students who serve on the ASI who really do care, but let's not lose sight of the fact WE ALL ARE FORCED to pay the fees while FEW reap the benefits.. Honestly, if you really want to make an impact, drop some of your fees and let people buy ASI stickers for discounts if they WANT them, then you'll be forced to work with a REAL budget rather than 1 million dollars to use as you see fit. "WE ARE SAVING YOU MONEY" is not what is happening for most students, it's "WE ARE TAKING YOUR MONEY AND BLOWING IT." - Stephanie Dexter A United Germany?

To have a teacher say she wants to send a message to her students that m arriage is only between a man and woman is asinine. A teacher's r esponsibility is to teach acceptance and to celebrate d ifferences, not to segregate and dehumanize c ertain members of the population. If you were a student in that t eacher's class and she told you homosexuality is wrong and your mother or uncle was gay, how would you feel? If you voted yes on Proposition 22 you are not protecting the sacred i nstitution of m arriage. All you are proving is t hat you are a bigot. Jesus loves everyone.

Her message was inspirational as she discussed society's internalization of racism, sexism and classism, and challenged everyone to see aspects of themselves in those of different ethnicity. while Gloria Johnson accompanied her on the keyboard. Negro spirituals combine African oral tradition and music, and originate from the southern plantations. "Spirituals are Bible stories set to music," Hopkins said. Lewis challenged educators to listen and learnfromtheir students. She said, "teaching in an academic area can only be measured by what we learn" and "the responsibility of teaching is mutual" between student and teacher. She encouraged educators to teach people how to tap into the disciplines that not only provide a paycheck, but that give fulfillment and joy.

Amanda Bergara PRIDE STAFF WRITER The rain stopped and the sun peeked through the clouds for CSUSM's 1st Annual Black History Month Breakfast. The catered event, which included poetry, song, and inspirational speeches, was sponsored by Associated Students Inc., outside at Forum Plaza at 8:00am, Feb. 28,2000. CSUSM student Roger Frazier started off the event by singing the Black National Anthem, a song about liberty and learning from the past. Then ASI President Waleed Delawari and CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez welcomed students, faculty, staff and administrators in attendance. Gonzalez stated that CSUSM is a "campus of firsts" and hopefully the event would be a continual program.

Izabel's father. The officers were looking for a suspect who had no relation to Mr. Solis. The officers coerced Solis into letting them enter the house. After the officers entered the house, they proceeded to interrogate Solis and four of his young children, asking, "Are you hiding someone under the bed?" and "Is this man your father, or are you lying?" The children are 11, 6, 5, and 2 years of age. After confirming Solis's identity, the officers took Solis into custody to deport him on the grounds of Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRAIRA). Mr. Solis has a prior conviction and served 181 days in jail and 90 days probation for attempted arson—Solis had thrown a bottle of perfume (combustable material) on to the roof of a neighbors home, and had called the fire department himself. Solis was allowed to remain in the US after serving his sentence.The 1996 law, however, requires the deportation of immigrants with criminal convictions, even those who have already served their sentence and were allowed at the time of their release law, at least 13 federal district courts have ruled that INS! has greater flexibility in implementing the law's mandatory detention requirements than we had thought. As a result, INS will conduct a case-by-case review and exercise discretion on those individuals who completed their criminal sentences prior to Oct. 9, 1998, do not pose a danger to the community, and demonstrate a strong likelihood to appear for their hearing." According to Izabel Solis, it has been extremely difficult to acquire any information about her father, either from the INS, or from Mr. Solis's Immigration attorney, Thomas A. Mix. On February 4th, immigration officer Robles claimed Solis's bail would be $7,500, and later when a friend, Dan Leonard, tried to pay the bail, he was informed that there was no information about Mr. Solis. Dan was not able to find information until February 7th when an INS judge informed him and the Solis family that Mr. Solis could not be allowed bail. Even the attorney hired by the Solis family proved ineffective at answering questions. When Izabel's sister, Patricia, requested Mix to explain her father's case, he told her that she would not be able to understand. Since Mr. Solis is a residential alien, not a citizen of the US, he was not entitled to the same rights that protect US citizens. Upon his arrest, he was not entitled to an attorney and had to find and pay for an attorney on his own in order not to be deported without a trial. In addition to this, Mr. Solis claims that he and other INS detainees are under immense pressure to choose to be deported rather than go through the lengthy and expensive trial process. According to Ricardo Favela, vice president of MEChA at CSUSM, this problem facing the Solis family is not an isolated case. "It is only US policy towards Mexican and Latin American people. . This type of Gestapo tactic is policy towards Mexican and other Latin American people here in the U.S. It is a fact that Mexican and other indigenous-looking Latin American people are the only people in this nation who have a special police force specifically working to watch over us." their knowledge and prepared- and complete college.

Sonia Gutierrez & Trevor Knudsen PRIDE STAFF WRITERS Izabel Splis withdrew from her classes at CSUSM in order to support her family in a time of need. She is currently working three parttime jobs to pay for the family's rent, utilities, and legal costs, because her father has been incarcerated since February 3. Felipe Solis Villaruel is at Camp Barrett, a county jail where Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) houses non-citizens awaiting deportation hearings. Izabel was beginning her junior year at California State University San Marcos pursuing a BS in sociology with plans to continue college for her MA in forensic psychology. She had hoped to become a profiler for the police department after she completes her studies. Now Izabel, the eldest Solis child at 20 years, works at San Marcos Middle School in the Gear-Up program, and as a tutor at two North-County high schools, to provide for the family of eight. On February 3rd, five INS officers arrested Felipe Solis Villaruel, to stay in the country. According to information on the web site for the Law Offices of Manulkin, Glaser & Bennett, Immigration Attorneys: "Immigrants convicted of a crime defined by immigration law (not by criminal law) as an 'aggravated felony' are deportable. Under IIRAIRA, crimes as minor as shoplifting now constitute aggravated felonies. Furthermore, the new expanded definition is retroactive. Thus, legal immigrants today may be placed into deportation proceedings for minor offenses they committed 25 years ago. This is true even if the offense was not defined at the time as an aggravated felony (and therefore may not have been a deportable offense), and the immigrant at that time was punished in the criminal law system." INS has apparently made an amendment to the ruling in a press release dated July 12, 1999, allowing some of those who have served their sentence by October 9, 1998 to be eligible for release. In the press release INS Commissioner, Doris Meissner, said, "In one provision of the new [1996] GSUSM and Grant Middle School GEAR UP for Kids A ny CSUSM. student interested in b ecoming a p art of the GEAR.

Dear Fellow CSUSM Students: I am writing in response to ASI Executive Vice President, Robert Radovich's letter where he called my ideas "ignorant". My opinion was correct and I will show you why. ASI is now saying that the Christmas bonuses that ASI approved with our money last semester is okay because no students received the bonuses, just staff members. This makes it okright? NO! It was still our elected ASI members who voted in favor of the bonuses. Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, ASI voted for the bonuses behind closed doors with no student access permitted. J wonder why? What did ASI fear? After having to request them two different times and waiting over three months, I finally obtained a copy of the November 12, 1999 ASI Board of Director meeting minutes. The minutes show that the board went into closed session to vote on this issue. What is this! They lock out their fellow students, discuss an important issue and then open the doors and say, we vote yes on what we talked about while you couldn't come in? This is wrong and by NO definition FOR THE STUDENTS. In addition, I feel that Robert Radovich may not be the best ASI member to address this issue because according to the minutes, Radovich failed to attend this important meeting. The students needed Radovich's moneysaving "NO" vote but, he let us down. In 1998, ASI asked the students to raise their fees so that they could better promote campus life activities. I reluctantly voted yes on the raise as I thought it would help better CSUSM. I did not vote to raise my tuition so ASI could give our money away to certain staff members for Christmas bonuses. Heck! We all work very hard all year long and we don't expect Christmas bonuses. I say to Robert Susan S.

Some examples of "hidden disabilities" would be asthma, heart problems, back problems, and others.

Another option that should be thought about is having the University Police randomly verify disabled permits. This would effectively stop any problems of abuse. We share in Professor Von Son's hopes that this problem will be alleviated quickly. Sincerely, Rita Reynolds President The Victorious Club Stacey Helton Treasurer The Victorious Club �C I) e $ t i b t Tuesday, March 0 7,2000 5 OPINION MEChA Statement on Prop. 21 Proposition 21 is an initiative known as the "anti-gang violence" initiative which w ill be on the ballot on March 7. Many organizations throughout California, including churches, stand against this inhumane proposition due to its cruel nature. It will allow for 14 year old children to be tried as adults for certain crimes and w ill mix children as young as 14 years old into the adult penal system. These children will be Mexican, African, or any other brown youth that the police illegally label as "gang members". We know that white children will not be targeted as much by this law. If it goes into effect, Proposition 21 w ill strip many black and brown youth of their constitutional rights, including their right to privacy. The initiative will allow for wire-tapping of "gang members" phones. This initiative is another great idea from Pete Wilson. The following w ill put the Proposition into its historical context and what this law represents to the Chicano/Mexicano Movement. We must understand that Prop. 21 has nothing to do with crime and everything to do with social and population control. In the "Voter Information Guide" which contains the complete text of the initiative, the proposed law refers to the prospective increase in the population of people of color in California: "The problem o f youth and gang violence w ill, without active intervention, increase, because the juvenile population is projected to grow substantially by the next decade" (119). Legislation which incarcerates youth more easily and for longer periods of time are the State o f California's strategy in dealing with the increase of black and brown people. We must understand that the term "gang" and "gang member" are labels put on Mexican/Chicano youth as an attempt to divide our people, to criminalize and to dehumanize those of us who resist white North American culture. This label also allows the state to take away the constitutional rights of youth. The historical origin o f today's so called "gang members" are rooted in our culture of resistance to white supremacy. The first warriors who resisted U.S. colonialism such as Joaquin Murrieta and the "Pachucos" have always been outcast as bandits and gangsters by the media and the court system of California. Today, since we ate not taught our history, most of us are ignorant of these facts, and play the part of being "gang members" instead of being warriors for our people. We say we are warriors, not gangsters. We must understand that the legislation o f Proposition 21 is used to expand the Prison Indus- trial Complex. It goes hand in hand with Prop. 227, denying our youth the right to an adequate education, and Prop. 209, which limits the number of Chicano/Mexicano professionals who could defend la Raza, and Prop. 184 which makes it easier for the state of California to lock up as many Mexicans and Africans as possible. Prop. 21 is part of California's legacy of keeping brown and black people poor, uneducated, incarcerated and powerless. Just as Prop. 187 created hysteria about "illegal aliens", Prop. 21 will create more racism against Chicano/Mexicano youth and further divide our people. For example, the labeling of our brothers and sisters as "gang members" separates them from the rest of our gente and even the term itself connotes violence, drug-dealing, and criminal activity. Thus many of our own people will say that this is what these "gang members" deserve. This is an attempt by the state o f California to weaken or destroy the strong sense of carnalismo that is a part of our culture. Carnalismo is the idea that we are all brothers and sisters and we all have a responsibility to take care of each other. Thus Prop. 21 is also an attack on our culture. M.E.Ch.A. says Chale con Prop, 21, and an attack on one is an attack on all. Prop. 21 is also an attempt to blame the victim for his or her own problems. It should be well known by now that the C.I.A. and the U.S. Government are responsible for the majority of the drugs and guns in our communities. Finally, there is an important lesson to be learned from this proposition and other racist/genocidal legislative attacks that have been handed down to our people ever since we were conquered and colonized by the U.S. 152 years ago. Until we develop our organizations, there will always be Prop. 21's, Prop. 187's, Prop. 209's, and we will always be a powerless and exploited people; even i f we become the majority in our own land once again. We demand that 1. The full constitutional rights of youth to be protected and guaranteed. 2. The media and court system to stop labeling and documenting our youth as "gang members". 3. The C.I. A ./U.S. government to stop importing drugs and guns to our communities. 4. Full prosecutions of police who participate in conspiracy, drug dealing, murder, and promotion of barrio violence. We ask that Mexican/Chicano youth stop calling themselves "gang members", and to take on the responsibility of defending their gente. D ear E ditors: D ear E ditors: I was so pleased to read Mike Sanella's letter in the Feb. 21 issue of The Pride. It is great that students are speaking out about their experiences with student government here at CSUSM. The ICC meeting on Feb. 11 was indeed a very frustrating experience. The rules guiding the ICC budget ARE EXTREMELY vague and unclear. It is a pity that our student government maintains such a bureaucratic mess. At our last BOD (ASI) meeting, we discussed the possibilities o f trying to simplify/clarify the mess. I sincerely hope that there will be action behind those words. Student clubs should not have to waste time and energy trying to fight the system. I, too, was very shocked that HUNDREDS o f dollars could be spent on flyers that will be trashed, while not a single penny could be spent on T-shirts (for Student Parent Alliance club events) that were to be used over and over. A s for the experiences I've had with our student government, I'd have to say that I probably share a lot in the same feelings of frustration as Mike. That is what motivated me to speak out and write this letter. Our ASI is a bureacracy...a BUSINESS, as it is often said, and it seems that most decisions and policies are made with business sense in mind...not student needs. Students can't always come first in a business and that is what causes our ASI to be so lacking. I know that there are only a couple months left in this semester, but I really feel that changes can be made. I got into ASI and on to the BOD as the Post-Bacc. Representative. I have been in office for about a month now. The reason I got into ASI was because I was not happy with how our government was serving us. The office was vacant and so I put in my application. There is room on the board for others who want to try to change how things are done. A s o f our last BOD meeting, there were at least 2 positions open. Please come and get an application from the ASI office and start changing things for the better. If being on the BOD is not your thing, then at least come to our meetings and tell us i f we are doing things right, wrong, or whatever. Our next meeting is Friday, March 10 and there will be items on the agenda that affect ICC (inter club council). ASI is YOUR government. Our budget is over 1,000,000 dollars!!! If you don't like something, come and tell us. Leave notes in our boxes at the ASI office. Email us. Write it up and send it to the Pride so your voice can be heard! Tell us how you want that million bucks spent.

The University Student Union facility is being developed for the benefit of students, faculty, stajff and alumni to promote and assist the educational program of the In fall 1999, the University Student Union Advisory Board is in the process of designing ^ O i l - - . Phase One of the Union facility in conjunction with the Clarke Field House. The Phase One facility will be small but will provide the first conference facilities on campus and will be located adjacent to the first exercise and athletic facilities on campus. Several subcommittees of the University Student Union Advisory Board are currently seeking additional student members. If you would like more information about the Finance, Facilities, Programming and Relations, or Personnel Committees, please contact the chair of the Personnel Committee, Kara Kornher, at 750-4905 or kkomher@maiihostl xsusm.edu. I am concerned about the shabby disrespect that the ASI and the ICC board have for the Brown Act. To date, they have violated it left and right. The ASI board, on November 12, 1999, violated it by going into closed session without 24 hour written notice prior to the session. Under the Brown Act, what they discussed is not even one of the items of an agenda that is permitted to be discussed in closed session. Both of these offenses are only misdemeanors, but do we want lawbreakers to govern us? What other laws are they breaking? I do not know what the rest o f my fellow students feel, but I do not want criminals representing me on the student government. We need to elect some new and honest blood to ASI. How many of you are aware that the ICC chair is only an appointed official? In my opinion, this needs to be raised to the level o f an elected official, rather than being a puppet o f ASI. If more students were actively interested in the actions o f the ASI, change would come about more quickly in the interests of the students, rather than the ASI. If you don't feel comfortable going to the meetings, write to the paper and let your voice be heard! Don't forget that those ASI elections for next year will be held in April. This is a concrete way to let your voice be heard. Thank you for your time and patience, Rita Reynolds FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER: $20,000 CASH BONUS PLUS $50,000 FOR COLLEGE.

C olonialism Mexican and Latin American people's human rights are violated on a daily basis. 152 years and two days after the U.S. forced Mexico to sign away almost half of her land, her gold, her resources, and her people, the U.S. continues to violate Mexican people's human rights. On the night of February 4th, Felipe Solis respectfully allowed five Border Gestapo agents to enter his home. The agents were looking for a man by the name of "Rodriguez", an alleged "illegal" resident. Thinking all Mexicans look alike and that all Mexicans lie, the Border Pigs began to accuse CSUSM student Izabel Solis' father of being this man. These pigs even accused the children in the home of lying about their own father's identity. The Border Gestapo then kidnapped Izabel's father, and I say kidnapped because he was taken against his will, with no warrant for his arrest. Although he is a legal resident, he is considered "deportable" due to a past conviction. Thus, he and his family are now being punished for a crime for which-Felipe had already served time. Can anyone tell me if these incidents happen in a white neighborhood? By Joni Miller As many of you may know, February was Black History Month. Our campus, as well as many other organizations and institutions celebrated the contributions African-Americans have made to the world through art, music, and literature. One such event was scheduled to take place at the "101 Artists Colony" in Encinitas on Saturday, February 19. The event, a superb night of music, poetry and fellowship, and including wonderful local talent, among them CSU San Marcos Professor Sharon Elise, was abruptly cancelled the night before it was to take place. On Friday, February 18th, an article appeared in the "Preview" section of the North County Slime (oops) Times. It hailed the event as a celebration of Black History Month. The article also included interviews with local artists Jihmye Collins, Professor Elise, and Artist's Colony board member Robert Walker. The last paragraph of the article read: "This month celebrates Black History, and we are dedicating the event on Saturday to Mumia Abu-Jamal, the ex-Black Panther on death row for the 1982 slaying of a white Philadelphia police officer."

It should also be noted that between 1998-1999, in a period of 15 months, five males have been shot and killed by police and sheriffs throughout towns and cities in North County. Four of these males were Mexican and one was Natiye American. Yet these killings have been swept under the rug. The recent uncovering of the LAPD officers involved in drug-dealing, conspiracy, false incriminations, and frame-ups only serve to affirm African-American and Mexican people's mistrust of police in our communities. Instead of feeling protected by the law, these cases give evidence to the rumors in our communities about the role of police in keeping our people drugged-up, divided and living in fear of the law. It should be clear that these incidents are not isolated. Much like the murders, beatings and kidnappings, these criminal and terrorist acts being carried out by the state are only public policy towards Africans, Mexicans, Latinos, and Asians. The only purpose of the police is to maintain the inequality between the rich and the poor, and police will do all that is necessary (or what they are told to do) to make sure that we stay in our places as poor, exploited and powerless people. This is the reason why the police and the FBI militarily revised that directly influence Student Life and Academics. The CSUSM student body, not just the ASI should determine the need and validity of CSUSM policies before being submitted to President Gonzalez and his administrative staff for approval. In addition, the same open forum format regarding new university policies should be provided for all CSUSM Faculty and staff. The way CSUSM administrators are running this university needs to change. However, it is up to us, the students, to actively speak out to these CSUSM administrators who consistently attempt to create policies that are not beneficial to the academic success and personal growth of those who pay good money to attend California State University, San Marcos. It is very unfortunate to witness a large group of CSUSM students taking the time to debate with a street preacher. Yet, no one but myself can attend an ASI open student forum occurring at the same time to discuss concerns related to unfair university policies involving computer use, parking services, etc. It is no wonder the CSUSM administration is less concerned with current student life issues and more concerned with the physical development of campus buildings and the recruitment o f future students. Shame on you, CSUSM students, for not taking enough initiative to actively speak out more on issues that have a direct negative impact on our academic and personal experiences at this university. Sincerely, Eddie Goan attacked the Black Power and Chicano Power movements. These movements were aimed at eliminating the gap between the rich and the poor, which is a direct threat to the rich. Thus, it should be clear that the brutality, drug-dealing, kidnappings, frame-ups and promotion of gang-violence on the part of the police and I.N.S. is only policy towards Mexicans, Latinos, and African-Americans, and are not isolated incidents. On top of all this, racist laws and legislation legalize and institutionalize these inhumane policies. The case of Izabel's father is a result of stricter immigration laws, which only allows for the Border Gestapo to enter into people's homes and kidnap family members with no justified reason at all. Also, 3-Strikes and Prop. 21, which will be on your ballot this week, allow for the state to fill California's prisons with black and brown people. The state of California has reinstated slavery through the 13th amendment by allowing for the privatization of California's prisons. This literally means that private businesses and corporations can literally buy or build prisons, which will be used as a source of cheap labor and massive profits. This is California's response to the projected increase of people of color. Lock them up and throw away the key. is carried out in our public schools and universities and is the teaching of individualistic and capitalistic ethics and values. These principles teach us to cafe more about our individual selves and our bank accounts than our people, our neighbors, our brothers, and sisters here and across the world. They teach us how to fit in this corrupt and rotten society instead of teaching us how to transform it. Education should be more than job skills. A true education will teach people how to take control of their own lives and how to create their own destiny (Keep in mind, Manifest Destiny was once an idea in some white supremacist's head). Colonialism has stolen our people's dreams of creating a just and equal society and has told us to get-in where wefit-in.A true education will teach us how to have respect for our people and ourselves. A true education will instill a sense of dignity in our people so we know when to say, "enough is enough." A true education will allow us to figure out how to end poverty, how to end police brutality, and will teach us to respect each other as human beings. A true education will take away all of our fears of standing up for what is right, because if you are afraid of dying, then you are afraid of living. A true education will liberate us once and for all. Despite all that I have mentioned, there still remains the worst crime that Ricardo Favela probably affects us most and is carried MEChA Vice-President out on a daily basis as well. This crime Dear fellow CSUSM students: chapter, and where the member intends to deprive the public of information to which the member knows or has reason to know the public is entitled under this chapter, is guilty of a misdemeanor. I would like to respond to Robert Radovich's Letter to the Editors.

He sometimes arrives on campus an hour and a half before his classes begin to ensure that he can find a space.

The Arts Building will have a 250-seat auditorium, eclipsing the campus' present 145-seat auditorium in ACD 102. Additionally, there will be al50-seat rehearsal theater with a stage large enough to host a 30-piece chamber orchestra. Still a third performance arena will be a "Black Box Theatre." The versatile theater will be a wide-open space where seating can be varied for each performance transforming the stage from the traditional prosceniumstyle to a thrust-style, or a theater-in-the-round. The theatre will also have sprung-typeflooringfor dance and movement classes. "It gives the students the opportunity to experiment and t o be in different theater settings," said Decker. The new Arts building will also have stations for ceramics, painting, and sculpture; music practice rooms; video editing bays; a recording studio; a multimedia studio. The new Science building will have specific laboratories for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, as well as five computer labs assigned to the Computer Science and Math departments. Decker said the current Science Hall will continue to be used as a laboratory building, but the new Science building will house "the next generation of labs for us." "North County has an incredible number of companies performing pharmacological and biological work: you have to respond to those sorts of things," said Decker. The Construction Company of Swinerton and Walberg, described by Decker as "a regional powerhouse in construction," is the "apparent low-bidder" with a bid of $20,670,000 for the two buildings. Swinerton and Walberg completed construction on the campus* newest classroom facility, University Hall, in Fall 1999 for a final cost of nearly $12.5 million. Construction on the new buildings will not begin until after the apparent low-bid is declared official, and the construction company posts the appropriate bonds. The "highly formalized process" takes six to eight weeks, said Decker. The new buildings, with an expected completion date of May 2003^ are paid for primarily through state-appropriated funds. Decker said, "We're still trying to figure out some additional funding" but quickly dispelled any concerns that construction could halt mid-way because of a lack of funds: "These buildings will be built."

More disabled parking with a ramping and elevator plan is due in 2002. In regards to disabled parking for Fall 2000, Leiter stated, "Hopefully, there will be enough." Campus Improvements By Mike Spangler PRIDE NEWS EDITOR CSU San Marcos received $200,000 for "Minor Capital Improvements" which qualify as costs under $250,000. The next improvements for students on how to negotiate the "Chutes and Ladders" of the campus for the year 2000 will come out of these State funds. New maps and signs will replace the "You Are Here" maps already on campus and will direct campus users to the nearest elevator. Users will see how best to travel from "The Dome" to the third floor of University Hall. A student or guest will also be able to download the map from the university web site. Signage for "Accessible Paths of Travel" has topped the list of university improvements due to the efforts of John Segoria, Director of Disabled Student Services, and Purchasing Agent, Cynthia Botta. A new sidewalk will replace the existing gravel pathway that students use t o walk between the student parking lots and the buildings of the university. The sidewalk will also run along the south side of Craven Road up to its intersection with Twin Oaks Valley Road. At a cost of $85,000, the new sidewalk is intended for completion in the summer 2000. * �Guest Speaker Talks about Germany, the Reunification, and the European Union Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER What would it be like if California and Mexico combined to form one country? It would be comparable to the fall of the Berlin wall and the union of East and West Germany. Imagine the amount of money that California would have to invest in Mexico to bring up the Mexican economy to the level of Califonia; this is what the former West Germany has put into the former East Germany. Margit Haberle of the German Consulate General's Office in LosAngeles spoke to an audience of sixty on Wednesday, February 23, 2000 in a lecture sponsored by the CSUSM German Club and German Department. Astrid Ronke, a German Professor at CSUSM was hoping the lecture would bring some attention to the German department and make CSUSM more globally diverse. Haberle's lecture focused on Germany and the European Union and "what has changed since the fall of the Berlin Wall ten years ago." To make the concept of the combining of East and West Germany easier for the students to understand, Haberle compared the union to California and Mexico becoming one country. There is also the problem of Mexican workers who are welltrained workers but aren't as skilled in new technology as Californians are. East Germans has the same problem as Mexico and West Germany has had to train many workers in new skills. One of the benefits of the union between East and West Germany is that they all speak CSU May Lower Graduation Requirements to 120 Units (CSU News Release) The Trustees heard a short presentation on lowering the CSU graduation requirement from 124 to 120 semester units at the January 2000 CSU Board of Trustees Meeting. They are scheduled for a discussion and probable vote on the resolution, which requires a change in Title V, at the May Trustees meeting. Both the CSU Cornerstones Imple mentation Plan, a strategic plan for CSU's future, and the 1999/00 Govenor's budget recommended that the CSU shorten the time it takes a student to graduate. The 124-unit requirement in the CSU is linked to a four-unit physical education activity requirement imposed in mid-century but which most CSU campuses no longer embrace. CSU San Marcos Graduations Requirements state, "Six units of physical activity coursework and four units of intercollegiate sports activity will be allowed towards a degree at CSUSM." The CSU press release stated that it is particularly incongruent to require 124 units at the CSU, when a normal course load x>f 15 units over four years would still leave a student four units short of graduation. The University of California, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and most universities across the nation use 120 units as a minimum unit requirement for graduation. the same language, although there was some difference in what different professions were termed. Germany is also a member of the European Union, which is important because it is "too complicated to have so many separate entities in a world market," said Haberle. The Deutsch Mark will no longer exist One of the major changes in in 2002 because of the creation of Germany is the move of the capital the Euro. "from Bonn to Berlin. By putting the Prior to the reunification, it was capital in Berlin, East Germans feel uncommon for Germans to invest more involved in the union between in the stock market because it was east and west.

At universities that have on-campus housing, the problem is more Funny images of the Animal House movie have given way to the new reality that binge drinking is no laughing matter. In the past, college campuses across the nation were not concerned about alcohol issues on campus. However, social attitudes have changed over the past 20 years and in a 1997 Harvard University Study on college drinking it found that "84% of all students drank during the school year and almost half (44%) of all students were binge drinkers." The study focused on 140 state and private universities, but did not include commuter campuses such as CSU San Marcos. Despite CSUSM's status as a commuter campus, alcohol problems do exist in the student body. visible." Counseling and Psychological Services therapists Ph.D. Leslie Wilson and Ph.D. Michelle Boutte Burke commented on state of drinking issues on the CSUSM campus. Current data on health problems and counseling referrals due to alcohol and drugs could not be obtained, but Dr. Wilson said that it would surprise her if, "some of the people seen at Health Services were being seen for problems caused by alcohol." that trying to eliminate drinking on campus was not helpful, but rather changing the culture of drinking was key to stemming drinking problems. parking tickets," Dr. Burke said. When asked if it made any difference whether or not a campus was dry, Dr. Burke stated, "You can have alcohol with approval from (CSUSM) President Gonza"Colleges with high binge lez.

"We must try and influence people early." However, he did agree that the campus' current status as a commuter makes the issue not as significant as it would be on other campuses. When asked to sum up the problem in a word both therapists said, "Access." As this school moves from being a commuter campus to a campus with housing these issues will likely take a higher precedent. However, only time will tell if CSUSM can change the culture of drinking. �Free Whether Sworn or Community Service, Officers Provide Campus Safety Tay-Sachs Testing on C ampus Johnny Coogan PRIDE STAFF WRITER Victoria B. Segall PRIDE FEATURE EDITOR In the general public, 1 out of 250 people may be a carrier for the gene. If both parents of the child are carriers of the disease, there is a 25% chance that their child may be afflicted with Tay-Sachs. On Tuesday, February 29, CSUSM's Pre-Health Society, in collaboration with the California Tay-Sachs Disease Prevention Program, will hold Tay-Sachs Testing, free and open to the student body, faculty, staff and general public. The rate of Tay-Sachs occurrence is especially high in European-Jewish and French-Canadian ethnic populations. In these ethnic groups, 1 out of 27 people may be a carrier of the Tay-Sachs gene. "However this disease can occur with anyone, regardless of ethnic population," says Dr. Joanne Pedersen, a health profession advisor here on campus. "Tay-Sachs is one of the most agonizing diseases to die from," comments Dr. Pedersen. "This Prevention Program tries to test as many adults of child-bearing age, so if you're a carrier you'll be aware and know the risks." The Prevention Program is a public service supported by the California Department of Health. Tay-Sachs disease causes a breakdown in the central nervous system due to an absent enzyme that normally breaks down toxic fatty substances in the brain. The disease strikes very young children, usually at the age of 6 months. As the child's age progresses, the child loses mental capabilities and motor skills, and overall health begins to deteriorate. Since there is no cure for Tfcy-Sachs, a child with the disease rarely lives past four or five years of age. "The mission of the California Tay-Sachs Prevention Program is to screen people, not only in high risks populations, but to test as many [individuals] as possible because anybody can be a carrier," says Dr. Pedersen. The free Tay-Sachs screening includes a simple blood test and a confidential medical history form completed by the individual being tested. Testing will be performed by licensed medical professionals in Commons 206 from 10:00am 2:00pm on Tuesday, February 29, 2000. Where is Campus Security? Over one thousand students attend classes at night, Monday through Thursday, after 6:00pm. Many students worry that the University isn't doing all it can to protect them. Others believe that security should be more visible so students won't feel vulnerable when walking to their cars. "We have six sworn officers, a lieutenant, and a chief that are stationed at this school. We are a functioning police station right here on campus. We do work with the other law enforcement agencies in the area but we are our own entity," says Sworn Officer Mario Sainz. One sworn officer patrols the campus at night to ensure safety for any students that happen to be at school. Kyra Richards, Community Service Officer (CSO) supervisor, stated that there are 11 CSOs employed by the school to patrol in case of any unforeseen incident. night the CSOs are probably just Gonzalez sees the inclusion of eating on their break."

The training program for community leaders has found its "natural home" on the San Marcos campus this year, according to CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez. The program has produced more than 200 graduates since it was established in 1986. The mayors of San Marcos and Escondido are among the program's alumni, as well as many of North County's corporate and community leaders. The program was devised to train civic leaders, based on the idea that citizens can instigate positive change in their communities. Gonzalez sees the inclusion of Leadership 2000 into the university as a "natural fit" because "the university's mission statement says that we will be part of the community, and this is a very good example of what we can do." CSUSM will provide curriculum material, faculty support, and classroom space in its commitment to host the program.

A 4YES' vote means that a person convicted of a second degree murder charge against a peace officer working for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) or the CSU system will face longer prison terms than what the current law provides. A NO vote means that the punishment remains the same, confinement for 15 years to life. The new measure will increase sentencing to 25 years to life, or life confinement without possible parole, depending on the circumstances involved in the case. A person who is convicted of a seconddegree murder charge upon a CSU campus police officer would result in the same punishment handed down to those who commit the same offense against all other peace officers across California. What began as an initiative passed by elected officials in the state legislature, Prop 19 is now up for voter approval. It provides CSUSM's peace officers with the same protection as officers at UCSD. Currently, a person would receive less time for murdering a CSU peace officer than they would from murdering a peace officerfromthe UC system. A clause in the proposition states that all people must aid a peace officer in apprehending a suspect, or else face a $1000fine.At any given moment, a campus peace officer could ask for your assistance and you may have to comply or face heavyfines.The argument is that we could be subject to assist a peace officer without having a weapon to protect ourselves. fefe, s u m m e r f s e s j ^ w s f f t a w a i ' f ^ | j § w eeksy6 credits, typical S ^yftion, room & board, b ooks/ a nd airfare) c osts M y 1: May 22~June 30 * Term 2: July 3-August 11 www.outreach.hawaii.edu •toll-free 1 (800) 862-6628 University of H awaii at Manoa, Summer S essions FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER: $20,000 CASH BONUS PLUS $50,000 FOR COLLEGE.

BE ALL YOU CAN BE: www.goarmy.com �6 Tuesday, February 29, 2000 OPINION DEAR EDITORS: I was very concerned about the article in "The Pride" about Pastor Smock. Certainly, he has the right to free speech and his own opinions, but 1 would like the student body to know that not all Christians are like Pastor Smock. As Simona Groza said in the article, Christianity is about God's love and forgiveness. It is about undetstanding His gift of Christ and wanting to have a personal relationship with Him. In fact,Jesus warned against judging others. Unfortunately, I was not at school the day that Pastor Smock spoke, so I only have the newspaper article to go on. I have been a Christian for 19 years and I would like to state that, based on the article, I disagree with almost all of what Smock said, and especially with the way that he presented himself. As a commuter school with an average student age higher than that at most universities, I do not think that CSUSM is what I would call a "party school." I take personal offense at the comment that students here "don't have the grades or the money to attend a better school." I have a 4.00 GPA and I could have gone to any school I wanted to - but here I am. As to Smock's religious opinions, I think he may be mis-interpreting the Bible. Some biblical scholars believe that the passages in the Bible that speak against homosexuality do not refer to homosexuality itself but the violence with which these acts were committed during that particular time period. As to his opinion about women I have several things to say. First of all, there were many important women in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, some being very close friends of Jesus. Secondly, most of the things written by Paul in I Corinthians, which sexists often use to support their beliefs, refer specifically to the women at the church in Corinth. Thirdly, when Paul uses the phrase "wives submit to your husbands" in Ephesians and Colossians, he is very clear that this relationship goes both ways and he tells husbands to love their wives as much as Christ loves us - and that is a lot! Funny, how men seem to leave that part out, isn't it? Maybe we can learn something from Pastor Smock. We can learn that when we are confronted with people we do not agree with, we should not reduce ourselves to their level. We should try to understand them, and why they are saying what they are saying, and then we will be able to intelligently discuss with them why we disagree. We can learn that one outspoken person does not necessarily represent the larger group that they claim to be a part of. I hope that this event will not drive people farther away from the truth, but give the Christians on campus the opportunity to share with people about God's love. Eye to Eye with Pastor Jed Smock Sonia Gutierrez As I read through Adra Hallford's article, "Students Debate with Street Preacher: Mocking Pastor Smock," in last weeks newspaper edition, I disagreed with most of Smock's bible based philosophies about keeping women in their proper place and his issues on homosexuality; however, to my surprise I agreed with him on his views of fraternities. Smock's comment that infuriated me the most was a homophobic law he postulated at the scene. Pastor Smock's solution against homosexuality consisted ofpassing a law that would enforce "homo patrols or something." The fact that Smock says, "or something," goes to show that he simply rambles off on a tangent as he speaks and tries to defend his standpoint. When Hallford informs the reader about Preacher Jed Smock being a professor at University of Wisconsin, I was blown away.

Katrina Chase ASI board members take time CSUSM Student out of our day each month to serve Study Abroad Advisor DEAR EDITOR: I am wondering if anyone else on campus notices the lack of customer service a student experiences? I am writing this after a poor experience in the library. I approached an older gentleman that was behind the counter and asked him for a book on reserve. His response was that I would have to "look it up on the computer to see if it's in"., ok. In all my experiences at the library, I had NEVER been told this. So, I looked it up. Unfortunately, the computer said the book was "missing" (as you can guess, it wasn't). So, he told me it was missing, without even taking the nano-second to LOOK, and I went about looking for another text. During this time, another student from my class approached him about an article for another class, same problem, look it up, even though the article was on RESERVE. Again, a new experience for her at the library. With this experience in mind, I decided to make a list of "good" and "bad" customer service areas on campus (I encourage anyone to add, or even disagree - it is opinion after all. Good: 1. Bookstore - yes, we hate the prices, it sucks..BUT - there IS ALWAYS someone there to help. The bookstore manager doesn't determine prices, someone higher up does, but - bookstore management has registers staffed and people on the floor to help. 2. Dome - The register's are staffed AND the actually RESPOND to your comments., so if you don't like something, put a comment in, you wilLsee results. 3.

Bad: 1, Library - read comments above. % l ie ^rtbe thought to myself, "Yikes! I sure would not want to be sitting in his classroom listening to him preaching solutions as to how to reform the world." Hallford's quotations serve as shocking revelations of how people, from young to older students, think at CSUSM's campus. The few minutes I was able to presence his speech. It reminded me of a circus better yet a Jerry Springer show although I still do not who was entertaining who, Pastor Smock to his crowd or vice versa. Hallford provides punch lines as quotations that kept beating at me as I read through her article. Two quotations I found extremely offensive and disturbing. "[F]rat boys use philanthropy to cover their guilt for their boozing and whoremongering" replied Smock after a TKE member defended their philanthropic endeavors. Of course, I have a aberration for Smock's word choice to refer to women as whoremongers. However, I have to admit, for once, I completely agreed with Pastor Smock, as I read through his disruption of peace. After reading scholarly research on college fraternities and the strong correlation to gang rape incidents, I was disgusted with the "fiats" sexist brotherhood bond. According to studies, youngfraternitymembers, not only mix alcohol and sexual intercourse, they desensitize from female sensibility, meaning lack of respect for women's bodies. Hallford's nejct quotation shows the senility behind fraternities bravado including CSUSM's, as one TKE member "assured Smock that, 'This guy [Aguallion] never gets laid.'"Amaya's response goes to show how vulgar and how fraternity members perceive sexual intercourse, as an activity that satiates the frats sexual yearnings. Ironically, he defames his own brother and implies he is not a "whoremonger" and is not a sexual prowess. Amaya's joke only reinforces Pastor Smock's views on sexual intercourse and males. TKE member used the word "laid" as if performing sexual intercourse is a mark of male virility and solely for male gratificationwhere the female is subservient and does all the work. students a free barbeque lunch. ASI has developed a process to fund activities that clubs wish to host that does not allow for any frivolous spending of your fees. WE ARE SAVING YOU MONEY ASI offers many classes such as yoga, kickboxirig, and many other extracurricular activities. ASI offers discounts on movie and theme park tickets. WE ARE SAVING YOU MONEY ASI planned many concerts and activities for your entertainment. • ASI brought new video games into the study lounge to accomodate your breaks in between classes. ASI has developed a childcare facility that has made the lives of student parents easier. With the addition of our new childcare representative, our fundraising for the childcare facility is at an all time high. There are so many things that go on in ASI that go unnoticed everyday. Most students do not take the time to explore what your student government is accomplishing for you. It is those students who wait for something to go wrong and then condemn the whole organization that bring down the morale of ASI and make our jobs that much more difficult. I am a very active student here on campus as well as an executive member on the ASI board and I pride myself on the accomplishments that our ASI has done. In the future I ask that students who are a eager to criticize the actions of others had better get more information on the issue than just their own opinion. WE ARE FOR STUDENTS, WE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN FOR STUDENTS, WE ARE STUDENTS. 2. Cashiers office - Anyone stood in this line to pay for an ID with 1-2 people ahead of you and waited 20 minutes?

With that, I 'll end this. I would like to throw something out there for everyone that seems to describe this campus, "..institutions often tip toward serving the needs of the donor instead of those of the lesser party (for example, schools can come to serve teachers or ADMINISTRATORS, rather than the STUDENTS)." ok, so I capitalized where I shouldn't have, the bottom line is the administration doesn't seem to care about our convenience in some areas and they are here for us, the students - something to think about.

In only 14 words, Proposition 22 states that "only a marriage between a man and a woman shall be valid or recognized." This is also termed the Knight proposition because it was written by State Senator Pete Knight. Same sex marriage is currently not allowed by California law. But the initiative will prohibit recognition of same sex marriages performed outside of California. Proponents of Proposition 22 claim that "it's simply about preserving the sacred institution of marriage, which by God's design is between opposite-sex couples," according to prop22yes.com. But opponents say the'TCnight initiative is unfair, divisive and intrusive," according to noonknight.com. This has been one of the most controversial propositions in this years election. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, 22 is ahead in the public opinion polls. As of February 8th, 52%of Californians would vote yes and 39% no with 9% still undecided. become worse as a result of similar bills. This leads opponents to believe that if 22 is passed they won't be able to visit a sick partner in the hospital, collect on inheritance or a partners pension, take bereavement leave, file joint bankruptcy, and will make it even more difficult to adopt children. According to no on Knight advocates, 22 "doesn't defend marriage, it attacks families." According to a commercial sponsored by no on Knight, it doesn't matter if a person is against same sex marriage, what matters is that 22 fSictlifBi YES"22 f « >* rTfly rights in n t W states havp will "add more government interference in our lives." The cast members of NBC's Will and Grace also made a commercial to protest this proposition. The actor who plays Will on the series says by voting yes or no on this proposition, the voter will be voting "either for or against basic rights." This issue is also dividing the religious community. 400 clergy members spent the weekend of February 12th and 13th in prayer and protest against 22. Reverend J. Edwin Bacon, Jr. said this issue is made from "intolerance and bigotry." But other religious leaders and churches have spoken in support for voting yes on 22. The Mormon church has strongly encouraged members in California and elsewhere to send money and work hard for the measure. Hie Catholic church has also donated large amounts of money to the cause. According to prop22yes.com, this measure is "simply about preserving the sacred institution of marriage, which by God's design is between opposite-sex couples." Proponents focus on the fact that this measure is only 14 words and that there is "no legal double talk, no hidden agenda" (taken from the Voter Information Guide). They claim that it does not take away rights to inheritance or to visit partners in the hospital. Proponents say it is just common sense and a way to keep marriage from being redefined. CSU San Marcos students are also divided on this issue. Many who will vote yes on the issue sighted religious beliefs as the origin of their decision. A 24-year-old. Communications student said that it was the "Catholicism in [him] jumping out" and that "marriage is for procreation." A24-year-old psychology student said that "having [married homosexuals] come into the state is the same as letting them do it in California." On the side of the opposition, students mostly believe as Joy Childers said, that we need to "keep our eyes on ourselves and deal with our own wrongs." It was decided that it is a person's choice what he or she wants to do. Proponents say it is a simple proposition of common sense while opponents say it is going to spread fear and intolerance. On May 7th the decision will be made. Dear fellow CSUSM students, As you know, 2000 is an election year. Unfortunately, it is a fact that the voter awareness amongst people between the ages of 18 and 24 is extremely low. Too low. Hoping to get more students involved in the political process, I would like to give my opinion about one difference Joni Miller between the two major parties in America. You can choose which party sounds best for you. The California Department of Corrections budget is $4.5 billion dollars.

The Knight Initiative is community leaders, rather than centralized in distant big government. a measure to ban same-sex marriages on the California Ballot. In a statement given by Congressman Campbell earlier last year he said "I oppose the March 2000 California Ballot initiative on same-sex marriages and urge Democrats believe in centralized power in Washington, with secondary all elected officials to do the same. No opponent of this initiative need be in favor of gay marriage. To oppose consideration for the rights of individual citizens and communities.

The Pride, I had mixed emotions as I read Joel Montes comments in the February 14 issue about the CSUSM Mission Statement. I was quite pleased to see a student speak out after taking the time to learn about the University mission. However, I was disappointed that there were some misunderstandings in Mr. Montes' message. My response is intended to demonstrate that administrators do read The Pride, do value student opinion, and to clear up some of the inaccuracies. 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday nights, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday, and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The library expands to 76 hours per week during peak demand times such as final examinations by staying open later weekday nights and longer hours on the weekend. asked to call the individual office and try to schedule special arrangements. Most offices can accommodate students with special needs. Transfer credits - The University has agreements with all of the nearby higher education institutions to ensure that credits transfer into and out of CSUSM. However, if Mr. Montes is referring to degree requirements, there is little CSUSM alone can do to ensure that a student transferring out of the University has credits accepted at the other campus. We do all we can to work with students who bring credits to CSUSM and provide a number of options for flexibility. Most of the time, we can work it out! Computer Lab hours — The computer lab has also experimented with longer hours and had the same experience as the library. Current hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday Library hours ~ The library has and 12 Noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. tried extending its hours, only to Hours of other services — Many find too few students taking advantage of the longer hours to make student services are open for addiUnits required to graduate ~ the cost worthwhile.

Students who are unable to proposal to reduce the number of 68.5 hours per week, which run use services during regular hours are units required to complete a degree. That change requires the approval of the CSU Trustees and is now being considered. Until a change is made, some of the degrees at CSUSM require as many as 132 units. This is difficult to change for a variety of reasons, including accreditation. Even if the Trustees approve a reduction, it will take several years to implement the change. Shifting spending away from student life ~ I think students and administrators have identified creating more student life activities as a priority for our young campus. While some money is spent on barbeques and concerts, it is not enough to remedy even a few of the concerns Mr. Montes has noted. We must maintain a balance of activities on the campus and that balance must include cultural arts events and other student activities designed to be fun. I n conclusion, I 'd like to remind all students that the administration appreciates hearing comments and suggestions. Perhaps the best way is via e-mail by using the link on the campus web page. Input can also be made to individual offices by telephone, e-mail or in person. . Recent surveys find CSUSM students to be more satisfied with their experience on this campus, in general, than the average level of satisfaction of all CSU students. While that is gratifying, we know we must always strive to improve, and we thank Mr. Montes for his comments.

Vol vn No. 19/ Monday, February 21,2000 Students gathered around street preacher Jed Smock Thursday, February 17, at the campus Free Speech area between Academic and Science Halls. Pastor Smock paced back and forth on the wide edge of a cement planter outside of the main entrance to Academic Hall and preached to a raucous crowd about what he called the evils of smoking, drinking alcohol, lying, homosexuality, and "whoremongering". "You've believed the lies of Charles Darwin. Many of you copulate like rabbits and love like dogs." Students alternately heckled and questioned the preacher. One student was overheard saying "he has done too much LSD, " and another student, Freshman Brian Sullivan, said, "Let him speak. I think it's interesting." The crowd engaged the preacher in debates and discussions on many topics including the alleged sexual promiscuity of fraternity members, and Smock's beliefs about homosexuality. When a student yelled out, "What are you?" Smock yelled back, "I'm a preacher. Most of you aren't students; you're party animals." Diego Aguallion, a TKE member, challenged the characterization of frat boys as party animals, and asked Smock, "Are you Preacher Jed Smock admonishes a crowd ofCSUSM Students aware of our philanthropic endeavPaul Blanchard/THE PRIDE ors?"

Others shouted at the preacher, saying he should leave the campus, and that his presence there violated the separation of church and state doctrine. California State University San Marcos Free Speech and Public Assembly P.olicy states: The University recognizes the right to [sic] staff, faculty, and students to debate current issues, to protest policies and to dissent. While participating in these activities, individuals are expected to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with the educational mission of the University, to observe University, CSU, and state regulations and to be responsible in their personal behavior. Associated Students Executive Director Darlene Willis said, "This is part of student life; it's Freedom of Speech. This is showing that the campus is growing. It probably wouldn't have happened here four orfiveyears ago." Smock said he was at University of "California San Diego on Monday and Tuesday, and at San Diego State University on Wednesday before turning his focus on the California State University San Marcos campus. According to Pastor Smock, the growth and notoriety of the CSUSM campus attracted the attention of an* acquaintance who said the preacher should visit here. Smock emphasized that he is a former college professor from "the University of Wisconsin" and that he has preached at over 700 colleges and universities in the United States and abroad over the past 25 years. He currently pastors a non-denominational church in Newark, Ohio, called the College Community Church, and is the author of Who Will Rise Up published by The Campus Ministry U.S.A.. When a female student challenged Pastor Smock saying that he belonged at a Christian university that shared his beliefs, Smock shot back that the students here "probably don't have the grades or the money to attend a better school." Glass told Smock, "I don't have a specific religion, I haven't studied any of them to believe. I am not going to believe just because others said it was so." Smock responded by saying, "Most of you haven't seriously investigated any religion, so how can you have faith?" �2 Monday February 21, 2000 DEAR EDITORS, On February 11,1 attended the ICC meeting as a representative of the CSUSM College Republicans. Upon arrival, the number of student clubs present quickly impressed me; although I didn't count them I would say that there were over 30 clubs represented at the meeting. Such a diverse group of student organizations active enough to attend ICC is great! It looks like CSUSM might be finally gaining a "campus-life" so to say. To all the clubs; KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! However, not everything from the meeting was positive. I was concerned with the "rules" concerning what a club can be authorized money for and what they c an't Example: one club was granted $400 dollars for posters to advertise an upcoming event while another club was refused $200 for T-shirts to advertise their event. The reason? Current ASI rules do not allow money to be used for club use, only for campus activities. However, as explained (by the Student Parents Club, I believe), the T-shirts were going to be used to promote an oncampus event. The ICC authorized $400 for posters that will just be thrown away after the event (money in the trash) and did not authorize $200 for T-shirts that could be worn over and over again. Sounds like a huge waste to me. What do you think? I brought this up to the Board but was quickly advised by the ASI Executive Director that ASI rules did not permit allocating money for T-shirts. The Board, however, seemed to be split on the issue and ICC tabled it for the next meeting. I don't mind funding posters and other forms of advertisement for events but I think we should fund all forms of advertisement. We should reward clubs who effectively promote their activities and who avoid trashing their materials after the event, not punish them. IfASI rules need to be changed then so be it, CHANGE THEM! All it will take is a simple vote by the ASI Board. ASI claims to be "by the students, for the students." I know they are by the students but I have found myselfquestioning more than once if they are truly for the students. Having said all this, I want to remind everyone that there will be ASI elections this semester and that although these are only student offices, they are very important. ASI votes on many issues regarding campus life (i.e. how to spend your money, and what student clubs can and can not do). They have voted to give themselves Christmas bonuses (with your money) but won't allocate funds for T-shirts? In the next ASI election, let's clean house and replace every member of ASI with new members that truly are FOR THE STUDENTS. Mike Sanella as lse.

OPINION ®[)e$rtbe More Smock Talk: A Different Opinion Victor Mireles There are some things that get people riled. Religion and God are two of the things that seem to provoke an argument any time they are discussed in a public forum. Thursday February 17, 2000, will go down as the day that one man did what ASI, clubs or the 10th anniversary celebration failed to do. He got people to stop what they were doing and become involved in a group event. Pastor Jed SmockfromNewark, Ohio, preached for several hours on subjects as diverse as life, death, homosexuality and a myriad of other issues that often push peoples' buttons. What I saw were crowds willing to mix it up with a man whose beliefs were unshakable. Some said that he was "ignorant," while others said that they "did not understand." Others seemed visibly angry at what DEAR EDITORS, On behalf.ofmyselfand all other students who are stuck in a busy but monotonous schedule, I would like to thank Mr. Jed Smock and his associates for coming to our campus and engaging with us in debate. The conversation was passionate and engaging (although I only stayed for a portion of it). The last time that there was a campus event with nearly as much passion was the Roger Hedgecock show, but even that was subdued compared to this seemingly spontaneous event. he said, and, as one person put it, "He is a zealot who has no business being here." What all these individuals fail to see is that he did have the right to be on campus. I will not defend his views, but I will say that no one has to like what he said. We live in an open society and in this society we must be tolerant of people who speak with a loud mouth. The only reason this circus took place was that WE gave him a forum. People have the right to speak but they do not have the right to be heard. I say to all those who hated the guy and were angered that you could have been rid of him if you simply had ignored him. People like him, both on the far right and left, need us to pay attention. Without us they ate powerless and have no venue. With us, people like him are made to look important when in reality they have nothing to say. The level of discourse in America often looks like this with people shouting and no one listening. Pastor Jed did not want to convert anyone. He wanted us to listen. And for that we are guilty of playing into his hands. I hope that in the future we take the time to stop and think about how we feel when we are confronted with something that bothers us to such an extent. I hope that the next time we are confronted with a person, who wishes to stir tilings up in such a manner, we pause. We should pause to ask the person what he or she is doing. To make things interesting we should agree with him or her or question their sense of importance. Otherwise, we should do the next best thing and ignore the person, move on and enjoy Pleasantville. Mr. Smock's courage and conBeyond the content of the debate, the aesthetics were also viction were inspiring, a lesson to beautiful. The triangle produced by all of us.

Mr. Smock's elevated stance on the wall was a simple and classic oratory convention that reminded me of America's long and proud public speaking tradition. The crowd also grouped into a classic formation shaped like a horseshoe around the speaker with an opposition champion stepping forward to help speak for a large portion of the crowd. I would like to extend an open invitation to Mr. Smock, and any other individual or organization who would like to stimulate such interest and entertainment on campus, to return to CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SAN MARCOS.

To all Students, Faculty, Staff: Call for Tokens, Artifacts, and Significant Objects The Women's Studies Department, in cooperation with the CSUSM library is arranging a display cabinet in the library in celebration of Women's Herstory Month {March). There is current research exploring the connection between women's history, women as caretakers of objects and women's writing- suggesting the usefulness of mounting a display of such meaningful artifacts. Student, Stephanie Sullivan, is acting as curator. You (and anyone you know who may be interested) are invited to submit objects that mean something to you, along with a card explaining what the item is, and the meaning behind it. Items should be relatively small. We would also like a picture of you and perhaps the person associated with the object. There will be a possibility of filming interviews to create a lasting visual herstory. The case is good sized, locked and secure. There is a further possibility of displaying needlework, i.e. stitchery, quilting, etc. More information will be provided to interested parties. Please get in touch with Stephanie, if you have any ideas, contributions, or reactions. Stephanie can be reached at momers@pacbell.net We hope to make this a beautiful and poignant display.

These parking citations may be invalid due to improper sign posting and the ofF-campus property not falling immediately under Parking Services'jurisdiction. Jim Courtney, Building Inspector for the City of San Marcos, said, "The property owner or manager can have the vehicles towed. They [Parking Services] can control the labeled lots, but they can't ticket kids in those unleased spaces or they're going t o end up with lawsuits." Parking Services has leased 160 parking spaces for 12-months at $1,000 per month at the 120 Craven Road property for use by CSUSM permit holders. Leased spaces are labeled with white paint "CSUSM PERMIT". The remaining 147 unmarked spaces are not leased by the university and are the private property of Palomar Pomerado Health Services. Dora Knoblock, director of Parking Services, says a clause in the lease agreement grants Parking Services the permission to cite violators. Parking Services Officers are "un-sworn officers," said Knoblock Parking Services has the authority to cite parking violations on property owned and leased by the CSU system.

Only a number marks it, like so many other doorways in this labyrinth maze we call Cal State San Marcos. Your hand reaches out and grips the handle as the door flings open. The sounds of life escape from the classroom, steamrollering over you. The small room overflows with students of all ages and beliefs who have come together. Lively discussion fills the air. Angry students zealously fight for their rights; others roll their eyes in boredom. Several raise their hand to remind us all to keep the peace and remember to work together. Applause booms through the crowd, but the chain does not break. With a new issue raised, the cycle of anger, boredom, and peace begins anew. The Inter-Club Council (ICC) meeting officially started on Friday, February 11, 2000, with a call to order at 1:40pm. Clubs join ICC is to receive full or partial funding for activities, limited insurance, and voting rights in all orders of council business. The representative of a club gives details on why they are asking for the money, then all the club reps vote yes or no to their request. Most funding is approved for at least half the amount requested, as long as it meets certain criteria. The discussion begins when the use of the money falls into a gray area in the rules. The first of these discussions fell on the request for funding of a "Safe Spring Fling" by Peer Education and Support Club, mainly because it was a large sum and other clubs felt it might be taking too much away from their store of shared funds. Eventually the motion passed, but with the condition that the Peer Education club seek partial funding from the American College Health Association. In attempting to give my opinion, I instead created problem conditions for the Peer club. I send my apologies. Peace was restored to ICC until The Victorious Club asked for thirty dollars for their Valentine's Day fundraiser. To sell lollipop bouquets the club needed a small amount of money for supplies. The club was denied funding because ICC money cannot be appropriated for fundraisers. The council quickly agreed to loan the Victorious Club thirty dollars, on the condition it is paid back after the funds have been raised. By the end of the meeting, almost every club drew together in an effort to find the best solution for funding each club's activities. By engaging in a kind of sparring match, members saw new ways around obstacles in order to get to their mutual goal: to engage students with activities that will awaken them to their campus and community. Melanie Addington PRIDE STAFF WRITER District Supervisor Bill Horn presented his "State of North County Address" to the major San Diego news networks and media, members of the community, and distinguished guests in room ACD102 on Friday, February 11, 2000. "It has been my tradition for the last five years to tailor a message specifically for North County," remarked Bill. As supervisor of the fifth district of San Diego County (which includes San Marcos), Horn works to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare of the people. Five individuals make up the Board of Supervisors. They sit on several committees to try to implement changes that they think will better serve the whole community. In other words, they are the people we send in t o deal with all the "bureaucratic mess." Speaking on behalf of all of us, Bill stated, "I would like to say thank you to our Sheriff's Department, District Attorney, the Probation Department, and the Courts for making our communities safer and for working together in a unified effort to stop crime in North County." Horn also stated, "The Gates Library Foundation will allow the placement of 54 personal computers and 16 printers." The libraries that will receive part of the $140,000 in materials funding are Borrego Springs, San Marcos, District Supervisor Bill Horn Valley Center, Vista, and Fallbrook. Due to his belief in education as one deterrent to crime, Horn also took credit for obtaining funding for an upcoming replacement library in Valley Center. He also hinted upon a new Pilot Program that will filter pornographic web sites in libraries. Right before his goodbye, Horn sent out the question, "You wouldn't send your children to the park with a pedophile, why would you send your kid to the library with a pornographer?"

By Joel Montes history This is my second year at CSUSM. I would like to think that I speak for the majority of students on this issue. It only took me one semester to figure this out. Why hasn't it clicked for the administration these past ten years? Please read the following excerpt from our mission statement: I. The mission of the California State University is: To provide opportunities for individuals to develop intellectually, personally; and professionally: * To encourage andprovide access to an excellent education to all who are prepared for and wish to participate in collegiate study.

After the first e-mail wish to participate in collegiate study." We should also have extended hours for basic services at least once a week such as a Thursday where Admissions and Records, Financial Aid, EOP, I received, I visited the web site described in the e-mail and 'agreed' to the policy, then Cashier, and other services can provide help to students and future students who otherwise may received two additional e-mails describing how students are required to 'agree' to the policy. The repeated e-mailing despite compliance is offensive. find it difficult to do so during regular hours. The e-mail also contained a threat, which also violates the policy. Describing how the "Works in partnership with other California educational institutions to maximize educaaccounts will be locked for non-compliance is a threat — the threat to damage students' tional opportunities forstudents." Another thing that i s frustrating to those of us, who are transfer students from a California institution, is that not all of our transferable credits are transfer- ability to perform and complete electronic course work. Furthermore the 'agreeing' to the policy is the entering into a contract with CSUSM. able. It doesn't make sense. Neither does the rule that we have to take a certain amount of units However, this contract is invalid. A contract entered under duress is meaningless. Due here to graduate. It is a waste of time and money for us taxpayers trying to make a better life to the writing requirements at CSUSM, and the fact that many instructors communicate for our children and ourselves. The argument may arise that there are not enough funds to expand student services or that important class information electronically, computer access is a necessity at CSUSM. the demand does not substantiate such a claim. Take a poll. Barbecues are fine, concerts are Therefore coercing students to 'agree' to a policy by threatening to lock their account is good but when the mid semester crunch kicks in or finals start coming around the corner and not only in violation of the policy, but also invalidates the agreement. I find it offensive graduating seniors scampering around the campus, all that doesn't matter. Services matter. that CSUSM is forcing students to enter a meaningless contract of suffer academically. It is offensive that a public institution would attempt to limit freedom of speech. StuJ Library hours matter. Computer lab hours matter. How much more money does it take to do this? How many more times will our tuition dents at CSUSM are entitled to freedom of speech, and the computer equipment access rise before we can afford change? I think that we as students need to start pressuring our rep- policy clearly limits it. This letter to the Pride is in violation of the computer equipment resentatives and administrators. Doing so will make the administration take the student body access policy because it is not academic, and I am writing it on a campus computer and e-mailing from a CSUSM e-mail account, and also because it may be deemed offensive seriously by making them accountable for what they do with our money.

We can make a face for San Marcos, instead of following along with the Deeply offended, and violating the policy. administration's definition. Offensive E-mail from Garrett Collins DEAR EDITORS, I am writing to thank Johnny Coogan for his incredibly insightful article "To Read or not to Read". I find it amazing that reading has dropped so pitifully in the last few years. Kids (and probably adults) do not read enough at all. One might call them shallow. I myself am an avid reader: Critchton, Koontz, and Grisham are among my favorite authors. However, I find it very difficult to read a book for pleasure during the semester because of all of the reading that I am already assigned. I agree that everyone should read more, but as long as Playstation is around - sad to say - that is just not going to happen. J.

Knoblock said that the University Police has made no official sanction, and that the University Police is a separate entity from Parking Services. Knoblock also stated that permanent signs are on order. Parking Services' "temporary" signs have been in place for the first two weeks of the spring semester. Carl Blaisdell, Building Division Director for the City of San Marcos, said "If you post a sign, if you post a sign, then it must confirm to a certain width, height, material, location,,.. all that kind of stuff." When shown photographs of the handwritten signs placed by Parking Services, and asked if they are a valid posting, Blasdell responded, "I don't know. You'd have to go to court." Blasdell also stated that a judge could rule, "If I can see it, you can read it."

Knoblock reminded that there is an appeals system in place if a recipient feels that they have been ticketed unjustly. "If legal counsel becomes involved in this—we pull out of it and we let our legal counsel deal with it," said Knoblock. "The judge—that's the final decision." Courtney didn't agree and stated, "If you take it to a court, a judge is going to say 'that is not posting.' A reasonable driver is going to look where: 74-inches off the ground," and later added "the signs aren't anchored—they're not permanent." Deputy Charles Vorce of the San Marcos Sheriff's Department said, "If the Chief of Police issued any official sanction or temporary parking order, then these would be the signs." Deputy Vorce used an example of a bicycle race requiring temporary road closure. Peter Wolfe of Qwik Sign in San Marcos said the correct materials for a sign vary depending on whether the area falls under local, city, or county regulations, state laws, or CVC code.

In return, young men would court those women whose notes were drawn. The church merged the Roman holiday and the martyrdom of Saint Valentine into one when Christianity became the official religion of Rome. PRIDE STAFF WRITER The Tomb of Saint Valentine Valentine's Day comes when money has been drained from our pockets right after Christmas. It is a holiday second only to Christmas in spending and wrapping. Have you ever wondered why we celebrate Valentine's Day? Did it ever cross your mind that the beheading of a priest and a bishop resulted in such a celebrated and traditional day? The historical story of Valentine's Day is by far gloomier and less romantic than its modern version. Legend has it that Valentine, a Christian priest, married young lovers against the orders of Claudius II. According to Claudius, his men would be less willing tofightin war if they were allowed to marry, so he outlawed marriage. The priest did not follow orders and continued to marry young couples. As a consequence, the execution of the priest Valentine took place on February 14, 269 AD. Strangely, years later, another martyr, a bishop, also by the name of Valentine, was beheaded as well. Here's another Valentine's story: February 15 was the day designated to honor the Roman god Lupercus. To celebrate, young women would write and deposit In the United States, the greeting card industry sells millions of Valentine cards each year. Nowadays, Valentine's Day no longer includes religious customs burdened with martyrdom. Instead, sweethearts exchange cards. I must add, however, that after speaking with several students on campus, I find that would-be sweethearts claim they would prefer something less generic in gifts, such as cards, PRIDE STAFF WRITERS Dr. Lytle did not play any of Johnson's music but he suggested students read Johnson's book Black Manhattan. Dr. Lytle also performed scores by Thomas "Fats" Waller that he All in the name of love. Stained glass window depicting S t Valentine Celine Dion's "All The Way...A Decade Of Song Victoria B. Segall PRIDE FEATURE EDITOR Kathleen Hash and Giovanni Ferrer Dr. Lytle told the audience that he liked to improvise when he felt the piece called for it. He asked, "Do you play what's on the page, or do you trust James Wallen Johnson and improvise?" When asked what would be the worst Valentine's Day gift, Spanish major Lupe Canseco answered, "A Valentine's card with nothing written in it except a signature." Who would have thought that the death of two religiousfigures,mythology, and lore would have resulted in the holiday we celebrate today? How did the exchange of cards begin? Another Valentine legend arose during the Middle Ages. Lovers exchanged messages and gifts because it was commonly believed at this time that birds began to mate on February 14. Valentine cards came to the United States with the first English settlers. Mailing homemade Valentine messages became common practice when postal systems were organized. In 1847, Esther A. Howland developed the first cards and sold $5000 worth in cards. Howland's Valentines became incredibly popular. Cecil Lytle: Piano Sounds through Music History On Thursday, February 10, 2000, pianist, Dr. Cecil Lytle presented a selection of music he called "Rags to Other Riches" in ACD 102. Dr. Lytle, a music history professor at UCSD is also the provost of UCSD's Thurgood Marshall Charter School. His selection for the evening consisted mainly of African American com posers that ranged from the late-1800s to mid-1900s. He performed three pieces by Scott Joplin, the most recognizable being "Mapleleaf Rag". chocolate, or a teddy bear, for Valentine's Day. Other students said they would prefer a self made and personalized card for Valentine's Day. felt might be new to most of the audience, as well as pieces like, "Alligator Crawl" and "African Ripples". Dr. Lytle was also a constant source of information and spoke about each piece in-between performances. The music professor was very excited about sharing the deep history of music with the audience. Dr. Lytle's enthusiasm was evident in his passionate and emotional performance, as his repertoire jumped from African American composers to Jewish-American composer, George Gershwin's "Three Piano Preludes". Hefinishedthe evening with "Giant Steps" by jazz artist John Coltrane. Dr. Lytle recorded a compilation of hymns last fall. The album, which will be released this summer and can be found at the UCSD bookstore, is as of yet untitled. Valentine's Day comes and goes every year. However, for those of you looking for romantic, "lovey-dovey" type music to listen to yearround, there is Celine Dion's most recent CD release, "All The Way...A Decade Of Song". Grammy-award winner Celine Dion's current CD compilation includes nine past favorites, including three movie theme songs: "Beauty and the Beast," "Because You Loved Me," from the film "Up Close & Personal," and "My Heart Will Go On," from the film "Titanic". In addition to such past great hits, there are seven new songs, including Dion's newest up-beat single, "That's The Way It Is," and a remake of Roberta Flack's 1972 hit, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". This CD compilation, totaling sixteen songs, is a good purchase for music-lovers interested in Dion's more popular songs. "All The Way...A Decade of Song" results in slow, soft, soothing "pop" songs for listeners. Depending on your taste in music, this compilation may either help you fall asleep at night or help you relax after a long day of classes. Celine Dion's sweet-sounding, yet unbelieyably strong vocal talent may impress even those who may not be fans of this genre of music. �LEAVE LEONARDO AT TffE BEACH By Shanna Skidmore PRIDE STAFF WRITER Based on the book by writer Alex Garland, The Beach offers the viewer a sense of what life would be like away from everyday rituals and a world f ull of technology. not last forever. A decision that Richard made earlier in the movie comes back to haunt him and ultimately destroys his wonderful life away from reality. The movie opens with Richard (two-time Golden Globe nominee and Academy Award Nominee Leonardo DiCaprio) in Thailand in search of Paradise. Richard is a free young individual who becomes aware of the "perfect" destination through a man that he met in a hotel. Richard befriends and convinces two world, the three friends create a life without French tourists, Etienne (Guillaume Canet), responsibility on the beach, where they play and Francoise (Virginie Ledoyen), to accom- and absorb the sun in the beautiful atmopany him to paradise.

I guess the director felt it would take several malicious murders to bring Richard, and myself, back to the reality that the beach is not so perfect The Beach, which runs 112 minutes, has an upbeat mix of music that enhances the fast-paced adventure and, had it not strayed into such a bizarre direction, I would have said, "do not miss this one."

Jana Homik Joni Miller PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF WRITER If you have noticed a little more elbow room while on your way to classes in Academic Hall, it is not just your imagination. A number of freestanding, sandwich board signs were removed from the breezeway on the second floor over the Winter break. CSUSM's very own President Gonzalez was listed among some of San Diego's finest who were honored by San Diego Magazine's top 50 "People to Watch" in 2000. The January issue touted Gonzalez as a "no-nonsense educator who has eased troubling racial discord on campus, forged relationships with local community leaders, and won battle for funds to unclog traffic bottleneck at State Route 78 and Twin Oaks Valley Road." San Diego Maga zine reported that the President's plans to increase efforts for school funding for the proposed state of the art library, athletic facilities and student housing were just some of the upcoming challenges Gonzalez will face. The article summed up Gonzalez' performance to date by saying, "With enrollment on the rise and a hard-charg- ing Gonzalez at the helm, CSUSM enters the 21st century as a growing educational force with a solid mission statement." According to the magazine "there are so many watchables out there, the hardest part^ i s narrowing the list to 50...There is no standard formula. But we draw from a wide pool of talent, and we think we've arrived at a list that encompasses a broad range and diverse collection of San Diegans." Others named on the list are San Diego Police Chief David Bejarano, San Diego Museum of Art Director Don Bacigalupi, San Diego Opera Director Ian Campbell, State Senator Steve Peace, MP3 founder and CEO Michael Robertson, and Chief of Staff to the Governor Lynn Schenk.

According to Steve Orsak, director of Environmental Health and Occupational Safety (EH&OS), the signs were creating a safety hazard and blocking emergency exit areas. At least one half of the breezeway must be clear, said Orsak, and several of the signs had blown over, requiring students to step around or over the downed signs. Trevor Knudsen of the Anime Club notes, "Anime Project Alliance's board was broken in the process [of removal] and we were never notified that it was going to be taken down, or that it had been after the fact, we had to hunt it down and it took a while." Orsak believes that the wind, rather than rough treatment caused damage to the signs he called "abandoned." The signs lacked any identifying marks or names, and were therefore considered abandoned and removed. Leiana Naholowaa, Pride newspaper ^editor, said that the large newspaper wood bin near the stairway of Academic Hall was missing one day of the week right before school began. The whole walkway was cleared of signs and bins and she stated, "It looked like the area had just been water-blasted and cleaned. I assumed that Facilities would return our newspaper stand later on, and they did." Signs outside of Academic Hall tried to trade in their sandwich board sign for a more permanent glass case, similar to those already posted in Academic Hall. In spite of numerous attempts to obtain permission for such a sign, Kimberly Whidden, President of the Accounting Society last year never received a call back. "I too, believe the signs are unsightly, however clubs need a common area to post notices of our choice...Members need up to date information and a place to leave messages for each other." The Accounting Society has Sandwich boards placed by the university, reminding stu- 1.5-liter, 4-cyl produces 108 hp and boasts 34-mpg city, and 41-mpg highway. 110 hp with 28-mpg city, and 35-mpg highway. dents of deadlines and badgering them to pay their tuition, remain. Because the campus has no clear policy on sign placement, Orsak has contacted Administrative Services and requested that a task force be created to look at the sign posting policies. Clubs will continue to compete with each other and the university for the prime locations. If your club is missing a sign, they are being held by EH&OS.

Bernard Hinton, a business professor who hired the first series of business instructors f or the new campus, retired from CSUSM on January 31, 2000. Hinton had originally chosen to come to CSUSM because it was an "opportunity of a lifetime [and] a professional challenge." "Hinton is known as being demanding, but focused," said Rick Moore, CSUSM Director of Communications, "He knew what he wanted and how he wanted it done." Hinton actively participated in the building design of the campus and was instrumental in making sure that construction was completed on time. He helped the university in its move into Craven Hall and made sure that Hibiscus flowers were included in the campus' landscaping. Although Hinton is retired from teaching, he is the president and CEO of SmartCities, a company which provides low cost internet access for schools in the district and founded LightSpeed Fiberlink, Inc., an Internet service provider. Hinton grew up in the inner city of P etroit and majored in biochemistry until his senior year when he changed to business. One day he was called into his office by his Dean and handed a contract which stated he would be teaching the next semester as he earned his MBA. Hinton h adn't thought about teaching or -getting his MBA, but took the j ob.

PRIDE STAFF WRITER Trestand Conrique, a prominent businessman in North County, has recently donated $50,000 for the construction of the new Library Information Center at CSUSM. Conrique's donation not only pushed the university over the top of its $2.5 million goal, the donation was also doubled. Jean and W. Keith Kellogg II, in a challenge grant, had pledged to match donations dollar-for-dollar up to a $500,000 total.

The Board is part of the driving force for private funding of the University Capital Campaign and their efforts to raise money for new facilities at CSUSM. This is not the first donation Conrique has made to the university. Last year he donated $50,000 to the athletic program at CSUSM.

Mano a Mano: The Painted Hand Exhibit Comes to CSUSM Sonia Gutierrez PRIDE STAFF WRITER ~~ ~ ~ On February 2, 2000, the Arts & Lecture Series commenced the Spring semester with Roberto Salas's art exhibition, "Mano a Mano: The Painted Hand." Salas's work contrasts bright and dark colors in a struggle against and toward each hand in the series. Salas's title carries the Spanish expression "mano a mano" that does not translate perfectly into English. In Spanish, the phrase connotes "a face to face confrontation" or "a competitive struggle."^ Acrylic hand paintings in black woodenframesmake up the Salas exhibition. The hands in Salas's pieces communicate through gestures, each with an individualized tattoo. The paintings depict a range of hand gestures being purposely positioned to take on different meanings,fromthe left and right hands clenching at the fist, to open hands reaching out, and to a hand grasping a red ball with the word "rebote," which translates to "rebound" in English. «. Artist Roberto Salas sculpts a hand for his Mano a Mano show. tioned in a unique gesture with its own tattoo. Vina Matsen, a Liberal Arts major, commented on one of her favorite pieces.

Salas writes, "It has been my goal to improve the quality of life by making art which is accessible conceptually and physically to communities of people who are unfamiliar with sanctity of museums and galleries." Salas's humanistic ideals and his concern for the well being of humanity are qualities which earned his piece, "Dream," a place in the Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade in downtown San Diego. $20,000 CASHBONUS PLUS $50,000 FOR COLLEGE.

Willi over five months spent training, track athletes have optimistic attitudes and have set high goals for themselves. Approximately twenty-five students anticipate a season that will lead them to national competition. Returning cross-country champion, Marcus Chandler, plans to compete at the national level in the 1500-meter race. Amy Taylor, an accomplished hurdler, plans to run the 400-meter hurdles at the national level. Heather Garritson also plans on competing at the national level, running distance races ranging from 1500 to 3000 meters. Jason McLevy, Jacquline Campos, Denaye Lakotich, and Robert Villegas are also determined to qualify for national competition. The team will face strong competition in the Mt. SAC Relays. Mt. SAC is nationally recognized as a "fast track", often giving athletes an opportunity to improve their marks in magnitudes that would be more difficult to accomplish on "slower" tracks. Mt. SAC is also nationally known for its Olympic Status, holding many Olympic trials and maintaining numerous Olympic records. Meets held at Azusa Pacific University will also prove to be helpful in increasing marks, since it is a "fast track" as well. Although there are no current plans to hold meets at CSUSM's track this season, students are encouraged to drive to Long Beach, Fullerton, Pamona, Mt. San Antonio (Mt. SAC), Azusa, Irvine, Northridge and British Columbia (national competition) in support of the team! | o nly place where you can get y our textbooks What more can we say? ia • • • • •i UNIVERSITY ST I A • • mP Rm %Jr � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A group of over 100 people comprised of family members, friends and co-workers f rom both universities, joined Judy to celebrate her many years of service. Taylor has served twelve years at SDSU and eleven and a half years here at CSUSM as the f irst Human Resources Director. Speaking at her retirement party given on January 20, 2000, Judy said of her stint at CSUSM, "It was a great experience moving f rom an established university to a new university.

Referring to "Tidal Wave II," Gonzalez stated, ' The system will be hard pressed to provide spaces f or students who want to attend CSU." A faculty member asked if the university would continue to focus on traditional arts and sciences or would instead respond to requests for more professional and vocational programs. Gonzalez stated that both the mission statement and the vision statement mention traditional arts and sciences as the "core of the university." He also stated that programs such as engineering and physical therapy are expensive to start up. Gonzalez said that the university could better f ocus its resources on building and expanding existing programs, such as Business and Education.

Last semester, I woke up and realized that I had alternatives. The alternative I chose was VarsityBooks.com. VarsityBooks.com not only saved me money, but it allowed me to avoid the hassles of the bookstore during the peak back-to-school rush. Because I appreciated my textbook purchasing experience so much with VarsityBooks.com, I decided to become an on-campus marketing representative for the company to spread the word to other Cal State students. In my marketing efforts, school authorities told me that I could only market VarsityBooks.com in limited areas (very limited). If these rules applied to all companies outreaching to students on campus I would understand, but when I found out that it was only other bookstores that had these limited marketing rules, I was extremely disturbed. Why does our school not want their students to be informed of their options to buy from alternative more affordable textbook sources? Textbooks are a necessity and it is important that we have alternatives to the bookstore. Now that other options exist, it is important that students know. VarsityBooks.com has empowered students with choice and brings competition to the bookstore market. This can only end in lower prices and better services for all Cal State students. As this Letter-to-the.-Editor is the only way I can express my feelings, I invite all Cal State students to join me in visiting www.varsitybooks.com when you purchase your books this semester. Thank you, Wes Gordon Voices By Joni Miller- P RIDE S TAFF W RITER While perusing the weekly Reader, I found my answer to "What to do on a rainy weekend?" A small little notice read: " 'Voices of Freedom,' an afternoon of 'lightening and thunder cultural poetry' is promised on Sunday, January 16, at 3:00p.m. at the Cesar Chavez Resource Center." An interesting way to spend the afternoon I surmised. As I read further, I noticed that Cal State San Marcos' own Professor Sharon Elise was among the participants that were going to be present. Having heard her passionate prose many times, I knew it would be an event worthy of partaking. I immediately grabbed my jacket and my partner Carol, and off we went to an edifying poetry repast. As we approached the center on San Diego Street in Oceanside, we were welcomed by the sound of Native American drumming from within. Six men sat in a circle around a large drum, each beating in uni son, as their voices chanted in spiritual song. At first perhaps only twenty-five people were present, though a steady stream of latecomers eventually filled the small informal gathering. As usual, Dr. Elise brought the house down with her most dramatic reading of all, "Lock Up". This poem is included in her published collection entitled "Black, In a Tight, White, Space." Other notables of San Diego's poet society who were present were Sam Hemod, Adolpho Guzman Lopez, Jihmye Collins, and Jim Matakey. But the afternoon was not just to sit back and enjoy; the gathering was a political event to raise awareness about the current three-strike law in California. The basic message was to get people involved in supporting legislation limiting the 3-strikes law. to Violent Offenses. For those of you who may want information on the three-strike law, you can find it4 on the web at http.V/www.factslxom. or by contacting the North County Chapter of Families to Amend California's Three-Strikes at (760) 726-1095 No matter what your political persuasion may be, it is always a wise decision to be informed. So often we fail to pay attention to laws enacted upon us, until they affect someone we know. Be involved, be active in your community, and choose the laws you want to live by. What's Up In Politics?

Andrea Cavanaugh - P RIDE S TAFF W RITER Like you, I received an email over the winter break advising me of a new computing policy which I must acknowledge by February 11th or lose my network privileges. My irritation at yet another seemingly arbitrary deadline deepened into unease when I read the text of the policy. It seemed I would be giving away more than my signature by acknowledging the policy. For those who haven't read it, the policy (among other things) prohibits t heuse of the university computer system for the transmission of "unsolicited information" (such as e-mail or posting to a news group) which is deemed by any recipient to be "offensive/' "inappropriate," or "obscene." Furthermore, by using the system, I "expressly submit to tracking and/or monitoring" of my communication by the university. Violation of the policy will result in the loss of computing privileges, an action that may prevent me from completing courses needed for graduation. Unfortunately, the agreement was all too familiar to me. I had to sign something very similar when I worked for a big corporation. I wasn't happy about signing it then, but I understood. A Corporation's concerns are not free expression or academic license. A Corporation is concerned with making money and protecting itself from liability. But the university is not a corporation. Or is it? Many people see policies such as this one as just another indicator of the ongoing Corporatization of public education, the demand that education be more self-supporting, that it be more convenient and easier to digest, the push to provide quantity at the expense of quality. Add to these the tipping of the scales away from freedom of expression and toward protection from liability, and the university system comes one step closer to becoming just another company that provides a service. Getting a college degree becomes not an experience that transforms your life, but just another product you pay for, like a new car or a wide screen TV. I had other questions about the policy. How would I know if a recipient would find something offensive before I sent it? How would the university define obscenity? I communicated my concerns to the university, and SUBMIT YOUR LETTERS TO THE EDITORS TO THE PRIDE was told that they wouldn't need to define obscenity beeause the courts already have. But, although courts have ruled on specific cases, they have not, to my knowledge, ever defined obscenity beyond Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's assertion in the 1970's that he "knows it when he sees it." Will that also be the yardstick used by the university? Of course, the policy explicitly states that the computer network is to be used only for assigned course work, research, or campus activities. The administration will tell you that anyone who feels compelled to spout offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unsolicited information i s f ree to obtain inexpensive Internet access from one of the nine zillion providers out there. In other words, they aren't trying to squelch your free spirit, they are merely preventing you from exercising it on state property. But what about approved uses? What if a professor of an on-line class assigns a novel with sex scenes, or an art text with nude subjects? Does it violate the policy? Probably not. What if the professor is unpopular with the administration or is active in the union? Does it violate the policy now? Who knows? What about a student who submits copy to this newspaper via the school computer network? Isn't the content of a student newspaper sometimes offensive, and rightly so? I have found that I am not the only person who objects to this policy. Almost everyone I have spoken with who understands its implications have signed it under duress, because they fear the consequences of ignoring it. I am concerned about these issues, not because I want to use the campus computer network to "spam" you with porn or incite a revolution, but because I think the spirit of a university exists not in bottom lines or in liability issues but in the free exchange of ideas, in an environment where people feel at liberty to speak their minds, without repercussions. The university says the policy is meant to preserve academic freedom, not to restrict it. But we may find that this version of academic freedom, in which we are judged not by our characters but by the content of our e-mail, does not feel so free.

We can create and offer ideas that will help the establishment of our University. With this in mind, I propose that we as students of CSU San Marcos be positive in every ^ ay as we attend our University. Let's make our college years the best! Sure, we may find a little problem along the way, but rather than dwell on it and criticize the negative, let's find a way to make it positive. One way to achieve such a goal is to join ASI. I find that there are many clubs and committees where I can give ideas and get involved with campus issues and developments. Join me in trying to keep our college years memorable.

What they really want to know is f they're likely to end up there as veil. I can't answer the real ques:ion. All I can tell you is ... it's sasy." — Susanna Kaysen Based on the best-selling nemoir by writer Susanna SCaysen, Girl, Interrupted is a [>owerful film that questions the xmndaries between sanity/madless, friendship/betrayal, and reedom/imprisonment. The film stars two-time \ cademy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Winona Ryder, two-time Golden Globe winner Angelina Jolie, and Academy Award winners Whoopi Goldberg and Vanessa Redgrave. Set in 1967, the film chronicles the experiences of 18-year-old Susanna Kaysen. Kaysen, played by Winona Ryder, is diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, which is "manifested by uncertainty about self-image, long-term goals, types of friends or lovers to have, and which values to adopt." Despite the fact that such a diagnosis could be made about many people, her parents send Kaysen to Claymoore, a mental hospital. The remainder of the film is dedicated to Kay sen's experience Administrative at Glaymoore, the friendships she makes, and the choices she must make to become healthy. The film is filled with exemplary performances, heartfelt drama, and dry humor. The character of Lisa, played by Angelina Jolie, is a spectacular heroic villain, whose forthrightness is captivating, to say the least. Though it lacks the elegant cinematography of European and independent films, all in all, Girl, Interrupted is not to be missed. Running Time: 125 minutes MPAA rating: ' R' for strong language and content relating to drugs, sexuality and suicide. Services and A Ma Zone, die fourth release of the internationally renowned PRIDE EDITOR a cappella group Zap Mama, is a rhythmic and compelling compilation which combines the groups more traditional vocals with the sounds of western hip-hop and R & B. Diverging from the group's primarily vocal basis, lead singer Marie Daulne has taken the group's sound to a new place in her own exploration of the musical influences of her youth. "Our mother would make us learn the polyphonic singing, but at the time we thought it was boring because it was traditional," stated Daulne. Unlike the group's first three albums, which relied mostly on traditional polyphonic vocals, in A Ma Zone, Daulne returned to the R & B and Hip-Hop which had proved so much more compelling to the teenage girl who found polyphonic vocals "boring" and "traditional." The result is a spectacular combination of traditional, Swahili and Wolof and Pygmy vocals alongside French and English, all set to hip-hop and R & B beats with Funk grooves. In addition to a compelling sound, the album, like Daulne's other, is laden with political and social commentary.

We hope the following responses shed some light on our continuing effort to serve your information needs." - Bonnie Biggs, Assistant to the D ean, & Coordinator f or Public S ervices, Library & Information Services The new lights in the cubicles and general library are lOx's better. Thank you! Now I like to study in here, it doesn't seem so dark. Yes! We are so pleased with the improved l ighting. The new building (open in 2003) will have a lot of natural light! Later hours. More hours. Longer hours on Saturday and Sunday. The answer to your requests is budget. The library has not been able t o a dd P ublic Services s taff since 1994, though our student body has grown significantly since then. We simply do not have the bodies to cover all the hours students would like us to be open. I j ust wanted to say that the circulation desk staff is very helpful, especially T iffany and Allison. Please tell them they are doing a great j ob at the library. I am a freshman here and they have helped me find my way around and find the information I needed. I think the staff at the front desk is doing an awesome j ob. All are extremely friendly, polite, f un, and helpful. No need to change a thing. I just wanted to compliment the wonderful front desk staff at the library. There are two girls there who are always helpful and nice. I really appreciate everything they do. Thanks f or the positive feedback. S taff i n the P ublic Services area is committed to providing student-centered service every single day. It would be nice if you folks could place one of the large reference dictionaries on the second floor like the ones found on the first floor. This is an excellent idea. We have ordered a Random House Webster's College Dictionary for the Fourth Floor. By the late afternoon, the M en's restroom is usually trashed and there are no towels. It would be nice if the maintenance dept. could give the restroom(s) a quick clean-up in the early afternoon so that the evening students who use the library (like myself) are not thoroughly disgusted by the conditions of the restroom. Also, I like the new lights and rearrangements. The more private study carrels the better. The larger "group study" tables only attract noise and conversation and I would suggest eliminating them completely. We forwarded your complaint about the men's restroom . to our Facilities Services office. We hope y ou've noticed an improvement. We get numerous requests for group study s paces, as professors are requiring more collaborative projects - so, we won't be eliminating the group study areas but in the new library, we plan to have plenty of private and group study spaces. Parking needs to have some kind of sign with the library schedule posted. It's not fair f or non-students who have an awful time with parking not to have easy access before paying f or parking.* This is a very good suggestion. We contacted Parking Services and they are happy to help us out. We will be delivering a handout with library hours to the new parking kiosk later today. There is far too much talking going on in the supposedly "Quiet" study areas of the library. Any student should have the right to come to the library to study in complete silence without being disturbed by less serious students who think it might be "neat" to chat here. I feel that a librarian should check once in a while to attempt to eliminate this problem. Some LARGE SIGNS saying "NO TALKING" may be a step in the right direction. I would b e happy to print and post these signs myself. We regret that the library is not always as quiet as you would like. It is simply too small to ensure noise-free areas. We do have signs posted on the 4**1 Floor that , read "Quiet Study Area". We have found that students reminding fellow students about disruptive behavior works well. Out of 4 copiers in the library, only one worked! The print was so bad I could hardly see it! The machines have been printing this way f or a least one week, probably more. This is totally ridiculous! materials you cannot find. Yes! We too were very frustrated with the performance and quality of our copiers. Right before fall semester, we replaced 3 of the 4 copiers with higher quality machines. Please open an extra week before finals. In fall of 1997 the library responded to an ASI request to extend open hours during finals. We rearranged staff and student assistant hours in the library and Media. For the fall 1999 semester, the library will have extended hours between December 8 - 1 4 . We will be open until 10:00 p.m. Dec. 8, 9 13 & 14 and open at 11:00 a.m. on Dec. 11 & 12. I was frustrated when searching for children's books. Nearly all of the books that were listed are in Spanish. I understand that i t's important to have books available in Spanish, but it would also be nice to have children's books in English available as well. We have a sizable collections of children's books in English. The titles you located in Spanish are part of the special collection - "The Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children & Adolescents". Try limiting your search o n the PAC with "juv" and you'll be able to peruse our juvenile collection. It would be great if Annex materials could be requested online. The library should devise a system so that books can be renewed via the computer, check due dates and fines. All good suggestions. Our library systems group is working on a new system upgrade. We are hoping it will provide patrons with the ability to renew materials and place holds on Annex materials online by the spring 2000 semester. You can check your circulation records and any fines by going into the library's PAC, select Electronic Resources, CSUSM Catalog, and then select View Your Own Record. Simply type in your name and barcode number. Note: you must have something checked out or have fines, or nothing will show up.

Please make an appointment with a reference librarian who will be happy to help you locate for presentation practice. Thanks! The Media Library staff are known f or their customerfocused service!
