Cesar Chavez Remembered

"The end of education should
surely be service to others,"
said student Natalie Hernandez,
quoting her grandfather Cesar
Chavez. Hernandez was one of
many individuals to speak on
campus for Cal State's first celebration of Cesar CMvez Day,
March 28.
On behalf of her family,
Hernandez accepted a plaque
commemorating the day. Her
speech included messages that
she believed her grandfather
would have wanted to pass along
to other individuals. "No matter
how hard, no matter the struggle,
he always believed, si se puede,"
said Hernandez.
The celebration included
Ballet Folklorico performances
and live mariachi music, but
began with words of reflection
from those who said they felt
inspired by Chavez and his work,
which included improving the
lives of farm workers.
Assistant Dean of Students
Tim Bills first introduced
Fernando Bribiezca, a United
Farm Workers organizer, to the
audience that included students,
faculty, and GEAR-UP participants from San Marcos
Middle School and Grant Middle
School.
Bribiezca, a UFW organizer CMvez Plaza and the Chavez

"Our incentive is to make
education available to the
community " said Lora Coad,
Director of CSUSM's Southwest
Riverside
County
project
(SWRC). The SWRC project,
currently located in Temecula, is
an alternate campus for students
pursuing their associate's degree,
bachelor's degree, or teaching
credential. Courses are currently
offered at the James Day Middle
School near the Promenade Mall
in Temecula.
Working with Mount San
Jacinto College, CSUSM has
developed an integrated curriculum for the students attending
the SWRC. "We share a unique
partnership with Mt. San Jacinto
College," says Coad. All of the
lower division coursework that
satisfies either AA or GE requirements is taken through MSJC,
while the upper division courses
for those students pursuing their
bachelor's degree in liberal studies or teaching credential are
offered by CSUSM.
"The SWRC needs to always
have a connection to the main
campus," says Coad. "Our students are encouraged to attend
both campuses." Currently the
SWRC only offers evening and
weekend courses; therefore, a
good number of the students, 44
percent according to Coad, also
take classes on the main campus
during the week.
Currently the fee structure
for the SWRC is the same fee
structure for courses offered
through the CSU system. "Two
extension courses are offered this
semester, but the remainder of
those offered by the SWRC are
state funded; therefore, standard
fees are applicable," explains
Coad.
The amount of state funding
available to the SWRC is based
on the enrollment figures for
each semester.
"Enrollment
growth for the last two semesters was higher than projected,"
says Coad. The number of students attending the SWRC continues to grow since the first
courses were offered in the fall
of 1999; therefore, more state
funding has become available.
Future plans for the SWRC
include regular session accelerated courses for the fall 2001
semester. By the end of 2002,
the SWRC also hopes to have
a newer, larger facility and also
plans to offer daytime courses.
Negotiations are currently taking
place for a new 35,000 squarefoot facility for classrooms and
offices located in Murrietta,
approximately 10 miles north of
the current Temecula location.
Coad added, "The public
education program is quite limited in the Temecula area; therefore, the SWRC attracts many
students who would not normally come to the main csmipus."
Student
dance troupe, Patricia Navarro
explained that their particular
dancing was not Jalisco style,
but more from Sinaloa, a state
in Mexico.
Additional afternoon performances included mariachi music
played by Mariachi del Sol,
which included students such as
Ramon Nava on the violin. The
evening ended with a candlelight
vigil at CMvez Plaza.
The Cesar CMvez celebration will continue on April 18 in
the Dome Plaza, when M.E.Ch.A.
hosts a Day of Learning with
poetry, music and dance.
Attempts Suicide On CampUS
By NATHAN FIELDS
Pride Feature Editor
A student was prevented
from committing suicide on
campus Friday around 2:30 p.m.
by Professor Anibal YanezChavez. A Liberal Studies professor at Cal State San Marcos,
Yanez found the student, a young
woman, cutting herself with a
sharp object on the spiral staircase midway between the fifth
and sixth floors of Craven Hall.
A custodian working on the
fifth floor assisted Professor
Yanez after hearing screams and
alerted the campus police. The
woman was reportedly taken
in an ambulance to Scripps
Hospital in La Jolla.
Rick Moore, Director of
Communications at. CSUSM,
confirmed Friday that "there
was a young woman, she was
not a student here, with a sharp
object who was trying to commit
suicide. I don't know why she would
come here to do it." The girl is a
student at Palomar College.
Claudia Ignacio, a student
working in the advising office
on the fifth floor during the
time of the attempt, arrived on
the scene too late to help, but
before custodians Md cleaned
up the small amount of blood
that had been spilled. "Nobody
knows why she came here to kill
herself, but I have heard administrators say that it doesn't look
good for our school."
Ignacio later spoke to
Professor Yanez. "I could tell
he (Yanez) was really overwhelmed. All he said was I 'm
shocked.'"
Although Lieutenant Bill
McCullough confirmed the
occurence, CSUSM Police were
unable to give an official statement regarding the incident.

Tax Day on April 16:
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
With taxes due on April 16,
now is the time for all of us
procrastinators to get our acts
together and figure out what
forms we need to prepare for the
deadline and the changes in tax
laws. Free help is available for
taxpayers. But if you choose to
prepare yours on your own, be
aware of the few minor changes
with tax credits and exclusions.
New California tax credits
are: Child and Dependent Care
Expenses Credit, Long-Term
Care Credit, Natural Heritage
Preservation Credit and a Teacher
Retention Credit,
q The new Child and
Dependent Care Expense
Credit is a percentage of the
nonrefundable federal credit
that the IRS allows you for
the cost of your employmentrelated child and dependent
care expenses. If your
income is not over $100,000,
you can claim the credit
using California Forms 540,
540A and 540NR. You cannot claim it by using the
form 5402EZ. Even if you do
not claim the credit through
your federal return, you can
still claim it on your state
return. Depending on how
much you make, you can
receive up to 63 percent of
the federal credit. The maximum California credit is
$907.
q Long-Term Care Credit
allows up to $500 for each
qualifying individual in need
of long-term health care and
for the eligible caregiver
that is the taxpayer. Using
California Form 3504, you
can attach it to your tax
. return.
q Natural
Heritage
Preservation Credit is for
those who donated land to
the Wildlife Conservation
Board in order to preserve
the heritage of the land. To
learn if you qualify for this
credit, contact the Wildlife
Conservation Board at (916)
445-8448.
q The Teacher Retention
Credit is on California Form
3505. If you are a credentialed teacher and teach any
grade from K-12 in a qualified educational institution,
you are eligible for credit.
Any teacher that has been
in service f rpm four to six
years can receive up to $250;
six to 11 years up to $500;
11-20 years up to $1,000; 20
or more the credit can go up
to $1,500.

We, the Faculty at San Marcos State University, are commited to provide the highest
quality education to our students. This has become increasingly difficult due to alarming
trends in the California State University system.
Over the last 7 years at San Marcos:
*The student enrollment has increased 110%, from 2736 to 5739
*The tenure track faculty increased by only 51%, from 97 to 147
*But, the administration, on the other hand, increased by 55%, from 36 to 56
postions
The state allocated millions to the CSU system for faculty, yet these resources were used
for non-instructional administrative costs. Furthermore, the hiring of lecturers, which
now make up a majority of your teachters at San Marcos, are now without job security, often
without health benefits, often sharing offices, computers, & telephone lines with all the other
lecturers in thier department, and often teaching at multiple universities around the
community.
We understand from talking to students that it is often the individual time that a faculty
member can spend with students that makes the difference in grades, job opportunities,
and recommendations.
Despite these trends, faculty at all levels and in all disciplines continue to work diligently
to provide students with the education, skills, and support necessary to succeed in today's
world.
In April, the California Faculty Association, which is the union that represents and
negotiates on behalf of all faculty will enter into contract negotiations with Chancellor
Reed. Our goal in these negotiations is to make improvements in areas that directly
impact our ability to provide the highest level of academic and scholarly support to the
students of San Marcos State.
We expect that these will be tough negotiations. We intend to keep students informed of
the progress. We very much look forward to working together with student leadership on
how we can continue to ensure that providing a quality education remains CSU's number
one priority.

�Wandering Along the Central Coast: An Alternate Spring Break
By JAMES NEWJELL

The mid-term rush is over,

tests are a faded memory. It
seems the quickest rcnjte to a
party-filled Spring Break is the
norm for most college students.
For young S&ji Riegans* Mexico

as the place to travel for cheap
drinks and cheap accommodations.
However, a completely opposite trip, in both direction and
mentality, is a journey north
towards Monterey Bay. Far from

can step aside, relax and enjoy
this tranquil sojourn and break
away to enjoy the serene and
beautiful countryside that is often
forgotten, yet exists right here in
California.

Without even considering the
winding road, it is hard for most
drivers to keep from veering off

keep the sound of the lane markers bouncing as they pass under
the wheels, the distracted driver
attempting to concentrate on the
task at hand.
The coast eventually winds
its way into Big Sur, where the
Redwoods have a home at Pfeiffer State Park. Full of hiking
trails, picnic areas, waterfalls and
mountain lions, the park enables
visitor's to access the forest and
parkland that could literally take
years to explore. There are paths
that go up, around and switch
back all through the forest, aiding
people in enjoying a unique part
of the California coastline.
It is amazing to pass through
such diversity in such a short
period of time. California has
more to offer than most people
would believe. It is inspiring to
step outside to a place many have
forgotten even exists: a place of
serenity, a place where the everyday drifts into the past. What
unfolds at that moment is everything. Nothing can touch the feelings that come, unhindered into
consciousness, igniting all the
senses on a direct path to your
heart.

To Whom It May Concern:
First, my name is Philip Rush and I am an experienced
individual in the affairs of the California State government. I have
been employed by both the state and federal government working
for a congressman and a state assembly member. But more than
the above, I am also a senior here at CSUSM and understand what
one must go through to deal with the bureaucracy that is CSUSM.
After viewing the article concerning Warren, I have wondered if
he has contacted his state assembly member or state senator. Given that
this institution is largely funded by the state and a portion by the federal
government, the student should consider that the state assembly funds
and oversees (thru the State Board of Education) the very existence of
this institution and therefore has the power of administrative inquiry on
the behalf of the constituent, namely Warren.
Understanding that the issue falls under the administrative realm
and is NOT a legal issue, the state assembly member or senator may
provide a crucial part in establishing mediation between the state, the
institution, and the student. If there are any questions regarding the
above, please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope this can shed some
light for Warren.
Sincerely,
Philip Rush

Finding Sources in the Library:
Is It Really Hard?
By ROLAND ARIAS JR.
Pride Staff Writer
Given the anticipation of the
new library, there is a lot of criticism on the lack of resources in
the current library. While I have
heard many students and even
some faculty tell me that the
Cal State San Marcos Library
does not adequately serve the
needs of students because of its
small space, the library provides
sources to students in a variety
of ways. Students just have to be
willing dig a little to use them.
Since I do not have time to
go to other libraries in San Diego
County, the library on campus is
my only choice for sources. At
first when I found out that the
book I was looking for was in the
annex, I would try to find different sources that were already on
the book stacks. Eventually however, I found that getting books
and other sources in the annex
are not hard to get at all and
they usually come in the day after
they are requested. Just recently,
I had to go to the library to get a
book from an obscure author. Not
thinking that our small library
would have the book I needed,
I was astonished to find that it
was in the library's annex. While
it would have been nice to flip
through the pages of the book
before I checked it out, its reassuring to know that there are
a wide variety of books readily
assessable in our "small" library.
. Most students are unaware
of the abundant online sources
to which they have access. The
online journals available to
CSUSM students are some of the
most useful academic tools that
I have utilized in my four years
at the university. One online service I found particularly helpful
is EBSCOhost. Since the database gives access to full text
journals and scholarly sources,
I frequently use EBSCOhost for
finding sources for my papers.
While there are other online services available to students though
the library, EBSCOhost is one of
the most useful.
The San Diego Circuit is
another vital aspect of the library.
The resources available on the
circuit give students can access
numerous sources in other libraries including SDSU, UCSD, and
USD. The materials can be picked
up the next day if ordered early
enough. Since orders placed on
the circuit before 10 am can
be picked up after 3pm, getting
books from other universities is
very convenient.
Granted, the San Diego State
Library and the UCSD library
will have readily accessible materials that the Cal State San Marcos
library will not, but as the university grows, so to will the university's educational resources. For
those of you who have a hard time
finding sources in the library, the
sources are there, you just need
to know where to find them.

Letters to the Editors
Outraged with your Administration!
Dear Editors,
I have just read an article in your paper titled, "One Student's Journey through the Paper
Trail," and I must tell you how truly outraged I am. What kind of school are you running? How
dare you take away 3 years of this young man's life that he worked so hard for just because he
put his education on hold to be by the side of his girlfriend, who had just been brutally raped and
tried to commit suicide? You should be commending him for what he has done.
President Gonzalez, you are a poor excuse for a human being. How can you live with
yourself? How can any of the administrators live with themselves for the trauma they have
inflicted on this young man? You have shown all of us that, when it comes to choosing
a university for our children, yours is truly not the right one, especially if we want our
children to succeed.
I will do everything in my power to spread the word to as many high schools as possible,
as I work for the school system. I feel that they need to know what CSUSM has, or should I say
doesn't have, to offer them. Think about it!

School Vouchers the Only Option
By AMY BOLASKI
Pride Copy Editor
"Why should poor children
be consigned to chronically poor
schools that consistently fail to
prepare them to attend college,
much less get a good-paying
job? ... Millions are casualties of
dysfunctional schools."
Why indeed? The San Diego
Union Tribune addressed the
issue in a recent editorial (which
I've taken the liberty of quoting) encouraging readers to
examine the "eminently defensible" school voucher proposal
with open eyes. We need to recognize that parents deserve a
voice, and an actual choice, when
it comes to their children's education.
President Bush's plan would
grant parents of children who
attend "sub-par" schools for
three consecutive years a $1,500
federal voucher to help subsidize
the cost of private education.
The Bush plan is a moderate,
flexible one, and while Bush
says he's "willing to listen" to
other approaches, he maintains
that "Children and parents who
have had only bad choices need
better choices."
Our youth are worthy of the
best shot we can give them and the public school system
too often fails in this endeavor.
Legislators have long promised
to implement various programs
and have concocted various solutions to fix our schools, and we're
still waiting. Our test scores are
still low, children aren't learning
fundamental skills they need to
succeed in college-level coursework and many of them are simply falling through the cracks.
While the voucher system isn't
going to revolutionize or " fix"
our schools, it's a step in the
right direction.
Democratic lawmakers and the
California Teacher's Association,
as well as other unions are vehemently opposing vouchers the
plan calls for accountability. And
since the public system can't
step up to the plate, the state and
the teachers' unions will lose
money if the legislation passes.
U.S. Education Secretary Rob
Paige called opposition to the
voucher system an "attempt to
protect an already dead monopoly." And it is.
We voted against Proposition
38 in November, which would
have given parents a $4,000
annual voucher. The California
Teacher's Association raised
more than $26 million in an
effort to keep the proposition
from passing, and they were successful - depending on how success is measured. If continuing
to dump taxpayer's money into
a system that repeatedly fails its
students, and then making halfhearted and vague promises to
use that money to benefit our
schools is success, then so be
it. Where are the results? We
could have used that $26 million
for vouchers rather than wasting
it on advertisements urging the
public to pretend away the problem.
Yes, the public school sys-
tem and the teachers' unions will
lose money. There are decent
school districts, some fine public schools, and wonderful teachers out there. But the sytem as
a whole reeks of bureaucratic
incompetence, and we need to
roll the dice on this. The voucher
system may have flaws; it may
fail. But if you don't gamble, you
won't ever win. Our children's
education is too big a gamble to
keep playing it safe.
If you find yourself diametrically opposed to the idea
of vouchers,, keep in mind that
money comes out of your pockets. How deep are they? Parents
of those children who are already
enrolled in private institutions
still have to pay taxes on federally funded education. You
won't see the teachers' unions or
the legislators mentioning this,
because it then becomes apparent that those parents are being
hit with a doublQ-whkpimjrjwhile
everyone elsfe
bacjqi their
pockets full, while we contihud to
grant diplomas to students with
fourtfcgrade reading skills.
Let's support a system that
will force our public schools to
shape up or ship out - on Bush's
plan they have three years to
take what's wrong and make
it better before losing money
on each student that makes
the switch to a private school.
Until we have the option of sending kids to public institutions
that aren't decaying, decentered
and demoralized, it's the only
option.
�Why We Celebrate the Memory of Cesar Chavez
STEVE COMPI AN
Literature and Writing Major
: Tom Chambers' question,
"Why celebrate [Cesar] Chavez
and not President's Day" was so
comical that several ironies raised
by the opinion piece mighttovebeen
overlooked. Chambers'comparison

and -his- "Washington fathered

While Chambers 'states "all he
did was start a union," historians
remember the man in a different
light—as a civil rights leader.
Although attending more
than thirty schools and working
part-time in the fields, Chavez
completed school through the
eighth grade (a rare accomplishment for a farm laborer). Chavez
served in the Navy during World
War II, and after the war, he
returned to the fields because the
sign, "Whites Only" did not just
discriminate against blacks.
In 1965, Chavez organized afive-yearboycott by grape

overcrowded quarters. Following

G etting t he Facts Straight
ISABEL R. SOLIZ
CSUSM Graduate Student
At a university whose mission statement includes statements such as, "The University
offers cultural enrichment in an
intellectually stimulating environment and acts as a focus
for community social activities," I am appalled that Mr.
Tom Chambers can make such
ignorant statements about Cesar
Chavez' worthiness of CSUSM
scheduling activities and a day
to honor him. Recognizing Mr.
Chamber's ignorance, I'd like
to set some facts straight, as
recorded in history.
First, Cesar Chavez, though
not educated or having a doctorate degree, upheld the ideals set
forth by George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln, even though
they did not practice what they
preached. In fact, they lived
in contradiction to their ideals.
For example,^ - yoitr claim that
Washington gave "us" freedom,
yet he owned slaves. And
Lincoln, though regarded; as the
great emancipator, who gave the
slaves their freedom, is also
known among historians as having taken the issue against slavery for political reasons. When
questioned about the Civil War
by Horace Greeley, editor of the
New York Tribune, Lincoln is
quoted saying, "My paramount
object in this struggle is to save
the union, and not either to save
or destroy slavery. If I could save
the Union without freeing any
slaves, I would do it; if I could
save it by freeing all the slaves,
I would do it, and if I could do
it by freeing some and leaving
others alone, I would do that."
(Chronicle of America). My point
is this: Cesar Chavez upheld
the very ideals Washington and
Lincoln are known for, without
any political aspirations.
You state that Chavez'
efforts "shrink in the shadows of
King." Actually, it is the other
way around. Chavez' efforts to
bring attention to the injustices
being made against Americans
began before Dr. King's, but
the crusaders just happened to
be farm workers. Chavez efforts
began before Rosa Parks' bus
incident. Chavez began in 1944
(as compared to King's efforts
in 1955) when he challenged
the segregated theater system by
refusing to sit in the section
for Mexicans and sitting in the
"whites only" section. For this
he was arrested.
His cause sharpened while
he served in the U.S. Navy, as

of other nationalities also suffered discrimination. His proactive work against injustices con-

and Mexican-Americans earned
$1.10. In that year, Chavez and
the farm workers became part
of the "The Movement", a catchall phrase describing those sharing a commitment to end the
injustices of racism, the war in
Vietnam, the sufferings of the
poor, and the degradation of farm
workers.
So you see, it was not just
about starting a union. In 1968,

If you want to compare
Chavez to Dr. King, Chavez
began his efforts to uphold freedom and equality nine years
before Dr. King. Furthermore,
Chavez' approach was all "hands
on" while King became involved
after Rosa Parks took a stand
and the sit-ins in Birmingham,
Alabama took place. Though Dr.
King's honorable efforts are not
to be minimized, as he did hold
a doctorate, and won recognition with the Nobel Peace Prize
and Time Magazine's Man of
the Year awards, both in 1964.
Cesar Chavez was recognized by
Robert F. Kennedy as "one of
the heroic figures of our time."
In 1994 he was posthumously
awarded the Presidential Medal
of Freedom, the United States'
highest civilian honor, by
President
Clinton.
Mr. Chambers, if we are to
use a bar to measure greatness,
Chavez' efforts for human and
civil rights began long before
King's, yet he did not win any
recognition. Was it because of
his ethnicity? He certainly didn't
work for political reasons. The
difference is that one had a doctorate and one was a poor farm
worker, a humble U.S. citizen
of Mexican decent, a WWII veteran and a patriot who upheld the
ideals set forth by Washington
and Lincoln. If that "cheapens"
the greatness of past leaders, I
question your motives. If you

audience of 30 on Tuesday evening (Pride Photo/Nathan Fields)
By NATHAN FIELDS
Pride Feature Editor
Cal State San Marcos students read their poetry at the
Metaphor Cafe last Tuesday evening in an event organized by
Literature and Writing Professor,
Brandon Cesmat. As part of their
mid-term evaluation, seven students read their works produced
in Cesmat's Creative Writing
325 class. Cesmat dubbed the
poets the "Tukwut Poets" using
the indigenous word, "tukwut"
meaning "mountain lion." The
event, which Cesmat has held
almost every semester at the
downtown Escondido cafe for
the past several years, began at
6:30 p.m.
"Tonight we are going to give
these creative writing students
a chance to read their poems
because I tell them that poetry
is one of the genres of art that
should be made with the voice
of the breath," Cesmat began
the event saying. "So let's get
the poetry off of the page and
see how it sounds when it is
accompanied by the sound of
beer bottles clinking and coffee
machines brewing."
Reading their poetry they
had worked on all-semester was

an option given to students in
the LTWR 325 class in lieu of
turning in their mid-term poetry
portfolios the previous Monday.
Student poets walked up on stage
to face an audience of 30.
"It's a really good idea," said
student poetry reader Dianne
Hirning, "it gave us an extra
day to work on our portfolios
and the opportunity to test what
we had written in front of other
people outside of our class."
Dianne Hirning read a poem
based around her recurrent dream
called "Security," and another
about her energetic toddler whose
chocolate-stained
pajamas
explode one night.
Alison King read "Eternity
Shoes," a brief biography of
her favorite footwear. Denaye
Lakotich read both a poem
inspired by Anne Sexton titled
"Do you like me," and another
poem raising the issue of
dysfunctional relationships in
a multi-media world. Tom
Mendendhall read several poems
including "Bakersfield," a long,
narrative poem in which a
woman pines for men's mouths
that do not taste like Skoal.
Mike Doleshal began his
reading with a confession:
"Hello, my name is Michael,
and I am a Star Trek fan." He
then continued to read a satiric
poem in the voice of William
Shatner. Giovanni Ferrer, who,
aside from reading one poem
titled "Concrete Jungle," augmented his second performance
with pre-composed hip-hop
music and a-rap-styled reading.
Kathleen Hash, an alumna of the
325 class, read two short poems
titled "I Want to Be Naked" and
"This World Bites."
Professor Cesmat, who is
a working poet in addition to
teaching literature and writing,
performed "Curiosity Killed the
Cat," a jazz elegy for Joliet
Jakes (a.k.a. John Belushi). In
this piece, Cesmat becomes a
one-man band, providing percussion by slapping his leg and
impersonating a trumpet with
his mouth in between singing
stanzas of poetry. Cesmat sang
a similar poem to the tune of
the John Coltrane song, "Central
Park West."
"I know Brandon from way
back," explained the cafe owner,
Jim Nemish. In reference to
Cesmat's body-music poetry,
Nemish laughed saying, "He did
this 10 years ago on my stage. He
did a whole damned orchestra."
"April is national poetry
month," explained Cesmat, "And
it's really nice of Jim to open up
his space, not only for poets, but
for many artists around North
County."
The Creative Writing course
is offered again in the fall. The
class will be held on Monday
and Wednesdays from 1 to 2:15
p.m.

The annual ASI elections have
been changed from April 24-25 to
May 1-2. The election date change
is due to the CSUSM Job Fair that
will be held at Founders Plaza,
Wednesday, April 25, which is the
same location of the voting polls
and on one of the original election

Goddard explained that he

Director of Student and Residential Life, decided to change the
election dates. Berhane originally

pushed to later dates, May 1-2.
"Gezai has the authority to
change the dates," said Goddard.
Berhane said he contacted the student newspaper immediately with
the first date change because he
wanted to place an announcement
in the calendar and did not want
to miss the paper's calendar deadline.
The electoral process for the
ASI elections is based on CSU
regulations and Title 5 in CSU's
Educational Code, but there is
flexibility in making final decisions, according to Berhane.

Considered a "normal semester"
by team members, the summer
session, a state-supported program, will lead the three-semester year and will run alongside
CSUSM's Extended Studies program.
The year round schedule
focuses on serving large-enrollment increases at CSUSM and
gives students the opportunity to
obtain their degree much sooner.
The summer course selec-
tion is similar in size to last summer, offering a balance between

�For the Love of Toads: The Western Spadefoot Toad a Resident of CSUSM
ByDARCY WALKER
Pride Opinion Editor
The familiar sound of a
continuous, soft croaking will
greet evening campus visitors for
the next several days; at least
until the puddles left by the recent
rains dry up. CSUSM's resident
nocturnal amphibian, the western
spadefoot toad, comQs out in mass
to send up itst amorous serenade
and breed in pools of standing
water. This may be their last
concert of the season. Once
the eggs are fertilized and the
pools disappear for the long, dry
summer, the toads will return to
their underground homes.
Although in some cases the
distinctions are blurry, toads differ from frogs in their body
shape, including shorter legs, less
foot webbing, and fatter—oh,
excuse me—I mean stouter bodies. Whereas frogs revel in water,
toads are land-lovers. Strike that.
Toads, live mostly on land, but
when they want some toad lovin',
they head for puddles and slow
streams. Admittedly less romantic than pond sex sounds, toad
reproduction takes place externally.
These small toads range in
size from about Wi to three inches and are blotchy gray-green in
color, with spots that are more
prominent on the young. Hailing
from genus scaphiopus, and carrying the species name of spea
hammondii thQse critters get their
common name, spadefoot, from
a little spade-shaped, inner back
toe that helps them burrow into
the ground where they spend
most of their lives, according to
Marshall University's herpetology website.
Unlike certain known rainforest frogs, these toadies offer no
hallucinogenic properties from
their body secretions. According
to the U.S. Geological Survey's
Western Ecological Research
Center, the western spadefoot
toad is "easily handled" and has
skin secretions that "smell like

The downloading of music

Regarding election notices,
according to Title 5, Article 3,
"The election shall be called by
posting notices in three public
places on the campus at least
two weeks before the election
and by publishing the notice
once a week for two weeks
in the campus newspaper ...
The notice shall set forth the
time and place of the election,
the purpose of the election, the
location of the polls, and the
hours during which the polls
will be open." Berhane and
Goddard made the decision to
change the election dates elev-
en days before elections were to
be held. Now that the election
dates have been pushed back
to May 1-2, they have more
than two weeks to give further
election notices.
Although members from
the League of Women Voters
will assist at the booth during
the election days, the actual
tallying of the scantron votes
will be facilitated by Berhane,
Goddard and other members of
the Election Committee, which
also includes Robin Milch, ASI
External Vice President.

for office, who choose to join

with much time for planning, the team
decided to use a class schedule relatively the same as last summer. With
long-term goals in mind, .McDuffie
said that the team hopes to achieve a
summer class schedule of 25 percent
to 40 percent of spring and fall coursework, eventually trying to go from the
eight-week sessions to 12- to 15-week
sessions.
There will be only minor changes
in student services. Campus employment for enrolled students will be limited to 20 hours a week. Financial aid
for the summer term is limited, so students who are concerned about available funds should contact the Financial
Aid office about eligibility. Fees for
classes this summer are similar to last
year's, but by next year they will follow
the regular fee structure.
The last day for early registration
is April 20, and the payment deadline
is May 2. For further information,

Diehr, the ratio of part-time lecturer versus tenured, full-time

The FMI pay system is not
the only issue about which CFA is
concerned. According to Diehr,
the expenditure gap has yet to be
resolved. The expenditure gap
is "the difference between state
funding for faculty salaries and
the actual expenditure by the
CSU for that purpose." This
means money allocated for faculty does not always end up
in their paycheck. Currently, as
Diehr explained to the Board of
Trustees, "with the addition of
benefits costs the total expenditure gap approaches an on-going
difference of $100 million."
The CFA cannot determine
where the money is actually
going since CSU refuses to open
their books, as explained in the
CFA Fact-Finding Hearing writeup. Diehr points out that the
CSU Board of Trustees needs to
conduct a thorough examination
of the gap. Furthermore, they
need to "ensure that taxpayer
dollars and student fees collected
and promised for the support
of the primary mission of the
institution - the education of our
students - are actually spent for
that purpose."

"Someone Like You" Charms Audiences
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
From someone who recently
had her heart broken, the new
film "Someone Like You" was a
hilarious antidote. A cynical and
bitter female turns her bitter and
broken heartache into a bizarre
theory that men are just bulls that
have to replace their old cows
with new cows.
Ashley Judd stars in the typical Meg Ryan role, playing Jane
Goodale, a name apparently and
mistakenly intended for one-liners about apes. A modern woman
(in the sense that she blows dust
off of her diaphragm), Jane meets
Ray Brown (Greg Kinnear of
"You've Got Mail"). Life is wonderful and their love is perfect,
with the exception of his girlfriend.
Fulfilling her romantic fantasy life, Jane dismisses all of
the signs that Ray is not so perfect. After he breaks it off with
his other girlfriend, Ray and Jane
plan to move in together. Jane
ends the lease on her apartment
only to find herself dumped by
Ray for his old cow (girlfriend);
the scene leaves faint traces of
"You've Got Mail" on the viewer's
mind. Wanting to know why she
was dumped, Jane investigates
bovine behavior in an attempt
to explain men's bullish moves.
Although her theory is incredibly moronic, her idea works by
depicting the obvious confused
state of modern women.
Enter her despicable roommate and coworker Eddie (Hugh
Jackman of "X-Men"). Although
he charms the audience long
before he charms Jane, Eddie
is brilliant as the macho stud
that really has a heart of gold.
Although Judd is the star, Jackman really makes the film. His
combination of strong acting
skills, amazing good looks, wit
and charm puts him on the top of
my favorite new actors list.
In one of her more clever and
cynical moments, Jane questions
whether the world is worse off
because of men like Ray who
make promises and break them,
or men like Eddie whose only
intention is to get as many women
in his bed as possible. As Eddie
begins to disprove her snap judgment about him and most men, the
film transforms from being a typical "chick-flick" to smartly summing up the confusion and misunderstanding between the two
sexes.
Marisa Tomei ("Untamed

Heart" and "What Women Want")
plays Liz, Jane's sidekick. Only a
few years ago Tomei would have
been the star of such a film, but
times have changed. Sitting in
the theater, I kept thinking how
Tomei would have brought the
role of Jane to life, instead of the
fiat performance given by Judd.
Not to say that Judd was not good,
she just didn't have that indescribable quality that the romantic lead needs to make the audience fall in love with her.

Husbandry," the romantic comedy
provides a wittier, more creative
edge to its plot than most of
its predecessors. Of course, in
the style of every other cookiecutter romantic comedy, "Someone Like You" ends with a kiss.
Although the ending is predictable, it doesn't take away from
the hilarity of the rest of the film.
Tony Goldwyn, who starred
with Judd in 1997's "Kiss the
Girls," directed the romantic comedy. "Someone Like You" is rated

Pure Rock Fury Brings Back the

By CLAY BABER
Pride Staff Writer
While their style may not
appeal to the masses, for those
rock and roll fans seeking something a little less mainstream,
Clutch may very well fit the
bill. Clutch's latest album Pure
Rock Fury is a powerful combination of heavy guitar riffs
and boisterous vocals that create
a stark, expressive style unlike
most other contemporary rock
bands.
Clutch blends the traditional
rock and roll sound typical of
many late '70s and early '80s
bands such as Black Sabbath
and the ftiore contemporary
Corrosion of Conformity, with
unique vocals that are anything
but traditional. Pure Rock Fury
features primarily hard driving
rock tracks like "Drink to the,
Dead" and "American Sleep,"
occasionally separated by more
funky, bass-guitar-laden tracks
such as "Brazenhead" and "The
Great Outdoors."
One interesting track is
"Careful With That Mic," which
sounds more like a speech put to
music rather than a song. In
this track, lead vocalist Neil
Fallon issues both a verbally
complex put-down to other lyricists and a humorous proclamation of his superior skills in a
catchy, upbeat rhyme combined
with a funky bassline.
Throughout the album,
Fallon creates an unusual lyrical
style by combining slower, more
monotone verses with faster,
more energized verses in which
he belts out lyrics at the top of
his lungs. The unique element
of Fallon's style is the tonguetwisting vocabulary he uses. His
lyrics include words such as
'krnnanixilati^
and "geodesic," words seldom
found in any type of music, let
alone rock and roll.
In addition to the 11 music
tracks featured on the album,
the disc itself is a CD-ROM that
contains an Internet link to ci web
site containing video footage of
one of the concerts of the band.

�"Late N ight Catechism" in Escondido
By TIM FARMER
Pride Staff Writer
"Stop talking. Stop talking.
Okay, shut up! This is catechism
so I hope you're all in the right
class," said Jane Morris, who
portrays Sister in "Late Night
Catechism."
"Late Night Catechism" is
nothing like I had anticipated.
The actress, teacher and comedian, Sister, is a one-nun-show
full of laughs and information.
The stage is set as a catechism
classroom where Sister teaches
the basics of the Catholic Church.
The show is very interactive and
sometimes you may get called
upon when you aren't suspecting
it.
Right before the intermission she told the audience, "If
there were Cain and Abel but no
women, then how did they procreate to have children? I want
you to get into small groups
while I leave the classroom and
you cannot leave until you come

"Shear Madness"pictured above.

Pride Staff Writer
"Shear Madness" is the longest running play in America,
according to the "Guinness Book
of World Records," and it's not
hard to see why. This year-round
comedy provides all the fun and
spontaneity you'd find in a lim-
up with an answer." She randomly chose a gentleman and
had him stand up. She asked him
his name and if he was familiar
with the Catholic Church and
then asked him to supervise the
"class" to make sure that everyone tried to find an answer.
Through the first half of the
play, Sister discussed the pros
and cons of certain saints and
decided to eliminate some of
their names from the list of sainthood. She talked of a saint who
went atop a concrete pillar and
lived there for an eternity to be
closer to God. Sister said he was
just lazy so she crossed his name
off the list.
Throughout the play, Sister
asked questions about Catholic
theology and offered little prizes to the individuals who got
the answers right. She offered
Catholic ID cards to winners
and explained to the audience,
"If Brenda [winner] gets hit by
a truck and someone sees this
card before she dies, it says 'I'm
Catholic. In case of emergency,
call a priest.' So they call a priest
and he comes down and says her
last rites and she goes to heaven.
The one problem is if you get
hit by a truck, your purse will
probably be nowhere near you
so you better be good."
The most amazing thing
about Jane Morris is her quick
improvisational skills. One person asked her if women would
ever be priests. Morris joked
that the Pope wrote a newsletter
called the "Papal Bull" about
the issue of women priests and
how some women of the church
organized a committee called
Catholic Organization for
Women, or COW. Then she said
that all the COWs are tired of
the bull.
The show lasted two hours
and although it was a classroom
setting, the time flew by. "Late
Night Catechism" is currently
playing at the California Center
for the Arts in Escondido.
"Shear Madness"
ited-run show.
The play is set in a hair salon
in San Diego, The audience is
carried through a series of comical mishaps in the hair salon, all
the while being treated to bits of
pop-humor, pertaining mostly to
local events and politics. When
a murder is committed in the
apartment above the salon, the
excitement really begins. The
audience becomes part of the
play, trying to help the police
solve the crime. The actor's
improvisational skills are put to
the test from this point on. The
audience was much more forward than I would have expected, one person going so far
as to begin shooting insults at
the characters. The professionals prevail, however, with quick
comebacks that are much fun-
nier than the actual script of
the play. I was impressed by the
energy and enthusiasm of the
actors despite the fact that the
play runs six days a week.
The only shortcoming of
"Shear Madness" is its complete lack of depth. Most comedies that rely on stereotypes
for most of their humor, as
"Shear Madness" does, have
some redeeming moment that
sends the audience away thinking. If you're looking for an
evening of humor and blissful
ignorance, "Shear Madness" is
for you. The play starts at 8
p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays;
5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturdays;
and 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sundays.
Tickets cost between $30 and
$35.

Clases insuficientes para estudiantes
Por CAROLE SIELAFF
Existen problemas con el
proceso de la matriculacion en la
Universidad Estatal de California
San Marcos. Muchos estudiantes
no pueden conseguir las clases
que necesitan, ni pueden conseguir las clases a tiempo para
graduarse. Esto se debe a que
muchas de las clases no se ofrecen con regularidad, es decir,
en dias variados o en diferentes
horarios. Este problema esta causando que muchos estudiantes se
queden en CSUSM mas tiempo
del que habian planeado.
En el semestre de primavera
de 2001, hice una encuesta a
treinta estudiantes con respecto
a sus -actitudes del proceso de
la matriculacion en CSUSM. La
mitad de los estudiantes cursan
el primer o el segundo semestre
y la otra mitad son estudiantes
mas avanzados. La encuesta consiste de una serie de preguntas
que cubren desde la disponibilidad de clases hasta sugerencias
de como resolver el problema.
Los resultados son:
71% dijeron que algunas clases que necesitan solamente se ofrecen una vez por
semestre, y el otro 29% no estan
de acuerdo
74% dijeron que algunas clases se ofrecen en el otono
pero no en la primavera, y el
otro 26% no estan de acuerdo
Tambien, 74% dijeron
que les toma mas tiempo de lo
que inicialmente planearon para
graduarse, y el otro 26% no
estan de acuerdo
Hubo algunas preguntas abiertas en el cuestionario. Algunas
respuestas a la pregunta abierta,
"^Como puede CSUSM limitar
los problemas que tu estas teniendo cuando te matriculas?", son:

About Safety & the Weil-Being of Students
By ZACHARY PUGH
Pride Staff Writer
Across the street from the
main campus and slightly
detached from the hustle and
bustle of student life, there is
a structure called the SMACC
building. This building houses
a majof service for the students
of CSUSM: The Student Health
Center (SHC). This service is
dedicated to the students, however, it seems that not many
people take advantage of it.
Despite this, the student health
services fee has increased to
$35 a head per semester, even
though students voted against
the increase.
What is the purpose of the
Student Health Center? According
to Cathy Gremmet, an employee of the SHC, the problems
handled range from "sore throats
to STDs " Gremmet added that
the SHC has "medical military
trained" physicians and specialists. Despite these well-trained
individuals, do many students
really use these services? When
asked about the medical procedures performed, Gremmet said,
that the medical staff treats very
minor situations and that "x-rays
are out of our scope, there is no
orthopedic technician ... we're
not able to set bones, we're here
for the students." Hmmm.
She continued to emphasize
that if the injured student needs
immediate attention, it is very
important to notify 911 or an
emergency contact who can further assist the student With the
exception of the occasional sore
throat that a mother's care can
cure, or a pesky STD that can be
rectified by your local pharmacist and some cream, the availability of more health care avenues should be addressed. Is
the student medical fee going
by the wayside? It seems that
for $35 a semester (starting Fall
2001), the SHC should do a little
more than just cure the common
cold, minor scrape, or a garden
variety STD. Maybe they could
do a little more advertising than
just a point of the finger at
student orientation.
Students, just as an exercise
to sharpen your math skills: multiply the future rate of $35 for
SHC fees that all students pay
by the population of the student
body which is an roughly estimated 6,000 heads. That's $210,000
worth of sore throats and STDS.
What is the protocol for
Campus Security when it comes
to an injured student on campus?
According to Sgt. Peter
Pham of CSUSM Safety Services,
the safety process.when an injury on campus is reported differs
with the severity of the injury.
If it's a minor injury, Campus
Safety will allow the student to
decide what he or she wants to do.
However, if it is a major injury
in question, "they log it in and
dispatch will send aiuofficer to
the site immediately." After an
officer arrives at the scene of
the incident, they will "notify
Student Health Services and the
Environmental Health & Safety
Department," said Sgt. Pham.
When asked about the safety
process after the SHC has closed,
Sgt. Pham said that Campus
Safety officials obtain "immediate medical attention ... roll the
paramedics, every incident is documented in a detailed report."
In light of the SHC services
and safety protocol on campus, it
would benefit the students if the
following took place: possible
extended hours of the SHC to
speed up the process of helping
an injured student, specializing in
more health issues, and using the
fees to promote a more accessible
Student Health Center.

SpringFest Postponed Last Minute D ue to Weather

By VICTORIA B. SEGALL
Pride Editor
Cal State San Marcos was
greeted with pouring rain and
hail on Saturday, April 21, the
scheduled date for SpringFest
2001. The event was cancelled
because of the weather conditions. SpringFest, sponsored by
ASI, was scheduled to include
food, games and entertainment,
including the Battle of the Bands.
Brad Schmidt, ASI Club
Technician, said that the event
would be postponed to a later
date.

come to fruition in the near

Trustees approved the building
project, which will cost $26.8
million. "Everything (that is
built) is funded by state issues,"
explained Carol Bonomo,
Associate Vice President of
External Affairs.
In order for this project to
receive funding, it needs to be
included in a bond issue ballot
for March 2002. According to
Bonomo, the entire bond issue
ballot will range from " $2 billion to $8 billion." The project
must be approved by the state
legislature by August 31 of this
year in order to be included
on the March 2002 bond issue
ballot. If it is not approved^
Bonomo said that the University
would try again in November. If
the legislature passes the bond
issue ballot, then the governor
will put the project in the budget and construction will begin
shortly thereafter.
The process from project
approval to completion can be
lengthy. The Arts and Science
buildings, approved in 1998, are
still currently in the construction phase. If the bond ballot
passes next year, then the building will be scheduled for completion by June 2006. However,
this date may be as early as
2004 or 2005.

Christian Students Hold Weeklong Bible Marathon on Campus
By J. RYAN SANDAHL
Pride Staff Writer
"We're hoping to bring different people from all walks of
life together to dialogue," said
Ruth Bran, a spokesperson and
volunteer for Priority Christian
Challenge (PCC), a club on campus. PCC hosted a Bible Reading
Marathon last week.
Students, faculty, and staff
were able to sign up for halfhour sessions in which the Bible
was read aloud with a goal of
reading the Bible from cover to
cover by the end of the week.
The marathon lasted from seven
in the morning to nine o'clock at
night each day of the week.
"We're not here to throw the
word in people's faces like Jeb
does,'' Bran said, referring to
pastor Jeb Smock who comes
each semester to the free speech
area and shouts accusations at
students. "This is why there are
no microphones or speakers set
up," Bran explained. "It's'more
of a quiet setting where people
can come listen and dialogue
with one another," she added.
There were many reasons
why the club decided to put on
the Bible Marathon. "No book
has sold more copies than the

Bible," Bran explained. "That is
why we want to have it read.
That and many people don't read
the Bible as often or as thoroughly as this."
Included in the reading is a
Spanish/English version of the
Bible so students that speak
Spanish could also read if they
wished. Bran did much of her
reading in Spanish.
"I think PCC has good
intentions/' said CSUSM student
Chris Orman. "I wouldn't have
a problem with other religions
doing what these guys are doing.
It adds to the diversity of the
campus."
Priority Christian Challenge
is different from another d ub on
campus known as Inter-Varsity
Christian Fellowship (IVCF).
Many IVCF members signed up
and helped read the Bible during
the week. As did many other
students throughout the week.

�April Is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Staff Writer
Not many people may be
aware that, in 1997, the State of
California named April Sexual
Assault Awareness Month. Sexual
violence can be a hush-hush topic
and may get downplayed on some
university campuses. At Cal State
San Marcos the University Store
is the only area on campus posting information.
Sexual assault, as defined by
the United States National Victim
Center, is "any unwanted, indecent sexual conduct by a person
towards a man, woman or child,
accompanied by the threat of,
or the exposure to danger, physr
ical suffering or injury, fear,
shame, humiliation and mental
anguish."
InCalifornia there is "a vision
to end sexual assault." The
California Coalition Against
Sexual Assault (CALCASA) is
working to "expose the insidiousness of sexual violence, raise
public awareness of what the
American Medical Association
has called a 'silent and violent epidemic,' change public perception
of sexual violence and heal this
degradation against the human
race."
From CALCASA's March
2001 report (www.calcasa.orgl
lists some interesting statistics
about sexual assault:
An estimated 302,100
women and 92,700 men are
forcibly raped each year in
the United States
• In the United States, one in
three girls and one in five
boys is assaulted as a child.
The typical child sex
offender molests an average
of 117 children, most of
whom do not report the
offense.
Sexual abuse is the most
under-reported crime in the
United States. While the
number of cases isn't
known, researchers estimate
that as few as one in 10
cases is reported to authorities.
• . Only 2 percent of rapists are
convicted arid imprisoned.
• About one in three women
and one in eight men is
raped after turning 18. . „
San Diego is number two in
the state for reported rape
occurrences.
"In order to stop being victims, we ourselves must take
up the struggle against [sexual
assault]. Individually and collectively we can break the silence
and make it no longer a taboo subject, or something shameful that
weighs us down," states Susan
Griffith, author o f "Rape: The
Politics of Consciousness''
Here are 20 Ways You Can
Begin to Stop Sexual Assault
from the 1998 California AntiSexist Political Caucus:
1) If you have been a victim
of sexual assault either by a
stranger, acquaintance or an
intimate, know there is help
out there. Seek it.
2) Interrupt rape/sexual assault
jokes.
3) Women: Take self-defense
classes.
4) Recognize that no one asks
or deserves to be assaulted
ever.
5) Don't blame the victims
for the violence perpetrated
against them.
6) Know that silence does not
equal consent.
7) Take responsibility for your
own,sexuality; do not let it
be defined by your partner,
the media or anyone else.
8) Donate money or time as a

Ton said that important issues CSUSM
students face include a "lack of information and connection in order for
them to utilize all the free and helpful
resources on campus." He added that
these resources include the Career
Center, the Writing and Math Centers, EOPS, ASI, ASPIRE, The Pride,
financial aid and counselors. Ton recognizes that students negotiate other
problems, including an "unexciting
campus life" and the need to get more
involved in the campus community.
Ton said he also thinks that "moderation," in both academics and free time
are necessary ingredients in a college
environment.
In order to make himself available

Jocdyn Brown is running for Vice President of External Affairs. She has worked as
ASI corporate secretary for the last year.
When asked, "What specific actions would
you take to get students more involved in
campus life?" Brown responded, "It's important to bring back issues from the C SSA...
issues that effect all students in the CSUs. I'd
be starting a lobby corps to bring students up
to date on political issues. I also think that
with anything you want participation in, the
biggest thing is advertising."
Brown proposed advertising on campus
using "open forums in the free speech area,
posting, and working on posting policy.
For elections they open it up. We've been
putting things up in chalk, but it seems like
we can't do that for anything else.
Regarding student involvement, Brown
added, "You can put it all out there, but then
it depends on how many students come to
you. One challenge is that we don't have a
residence hall."
Asked, "What have you learned so far,
from being involved in ASI, about the position?" Brown replied, "I've gone to probably 50 percent of the CSSA conferences, so I
see the whole process. A lobby corps would
help as a political committee, to get students
involved with issues like tax on text books,
to bring that information downfromCSSA
through a group of students who could help
me spread it around campus. I also have
helped with voter registration and the open
forum, when we brought local candidates on
campus before last election."
Brown is a biology major. She said she

The Pride
The Charlie Parker Story Shown for CSUSMs Film Series
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
Beneath the shadows of the dark,
smoke-filled nightclubs of the
1940s comes a murky portrayal
of the life of the world's most
famous junkie.
Sifting through the nightclub
life, laden with alcohol and druginduced delirium, Clint Eastwood
creates an account focused on
the character of Charlie Parker in
"Bird." Admission to "Bird," the
second piece in CSUSM's Art's
and Lectures Film Series, was
free, but only about 30 people
showed up.
Touching only certain historical aspects of the Bebop era,
the film showcases more of the
music created by Parker (played
by Forest Whitaker).
Bouncing between scenes of
heroin-induced mayhem and
improvisational jazz, Whitaker
does a great job getting into character for this tough roll. The film
highlights the last few years of
Parker's life and how he neglected to care for himself, leading
to his demise. When he died,
the coroner estimated his age to
be 65, but he was actually 34.
"Don't ever let them take me
back to Kansas City," said Parker,
who moved away from his roots
and created his own completely
fresh style of music. Known for
changing the face of jazz forever,
the Bird added eighth notes in
his melodies, giving bebop flavor
to old favorites and eventually
creating an entirely new sound.
The bebop musicians played so
fast and had so many rhythm
changes that listeners sometimes
complained they couldn't dance
to the new sound.
Touring through Harlem,
Chicago, Hollywood, the southern states and Paris, Parker didn't
listen to the criticism and was
dedicated to finding an audience
and ways to make money by playing his horn. Relatively unsuccessful in gaining monetary success, the Bird was able to eventually turn heads and one scene
showed fans in Paris raining
down roses as he ended a performance.
Although technology in the
1940s was not what it is today,
sound enhancements allowed the
true recordings to be used for
the soundtrack, and this accented
what the film focused on: the
music of Charlie Parker and this
father of bebop. Clint Eastwood
got together with Chan Parker,
Charlie's fourth wife, and found
many of Parker's live recordings.
They weren't very clear but by
using digital sound equipment,
Eastwood and Parker were able
to find some recordings never
before released that add to the
true beauty of the Bird's live
improvisation abilities, matching
the dark nightclub scenes that
saturate the film,
One recurring image in the
film is a single drum cymbal
floating through the air used to
bridge different scenes. The cym-
at again.
Two important men in
Parker's life as told in the story
are Dizzy Gillespie (played by
Samuel E. Wright) and Red
Rodney (played by Michael
Zelniker). Gillespie, also know
for his contributions to bebop,
portrays the success that Parker
was never able to obtain. In the
film, you find the love the two
had for each other, but they
end up taking different paths.
Gillespie leads a successful big
band in an overt attempt to prove
the masses wrong about the new
sound, while Parker's irresponsibility leads him to always being
broke, late and in the mist of
drug disorientation.
Parker befriends Red Rodney
while in L.A., where Red finds
Parker sitting on a trashcan shooting up heroin preparing for a
gig. The two end up teaming up
later in the movie for a colorful
tour of the South, marking one
of the only bright tours in the
film. In this part, it shows not
only segregation at nightclubs of
rural areas, but the group having
fun as they successfully perform,
drawing at times dancing crowds
of over 500.

Joey Ramone's Death R A M O N E S
By AMY BOLASKI
Pride Staff Writer
Joey Ramone, front man for the
pioneering American punk band The
Ramones, died Sunday, April 15, in a
New York hospital at age 49.
Ramone, often hailed as the father of
punk rock, was hospitalized last month
with lymphatic cancer, which he'd been
fighting for years.
Born Jeffrey Hyman, Ramone started playing in garage bands in New Yorkhe quickly put aside drumming to front
for the Ramones, whose four members
all adopted the same last name. The
band burst on the scene in a musical
era quickly growing stagnant. Ramone
called 70s rock "a hodgepodge of Pink
Floyd and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
and all that. [We] stripped it right down
to bone, and we disassembled it and
reassembled it and put all the raw energy
and raw emotion and guts and attitude
back into it."
They put attitude and energy back
into a flagging scene and are credited
with the subsequent explosion of the
British punk music scene in 1976.
After spending only two days and
$6,000 on their debut album, The
Ramones, the band toured in England
in 1977, and its early music provided
a veritable breeding ground for bands
like The Clash and The Sex Pistols to
take off from. Their simple, three-chord
melodies and high-energy, garage rock
sound never propelled them into the Top
40, but it did establish them as "the
daddy punk group of all time," according
to Joe Strummer of The Clash, who paid
homage to The Ramones in a recent
interview with Spin magazine.

style. Joey R. (3rdfrom left), died ofcancer

Their first single, "Bliztkrieg Bop"
paved the way for 21 albums, 14 of
which were studio-produced efforts by
renowned producer Phil Spector. 1979's
effort, End ofthe Century,; was their bestselling album, and while the band only
climbed as high as 44 on the charts, their
remake of "Baby, I Love You" made it
into the top 10 in Britain.
Despite the lack of commercial success, The Ramones. remained beloved in
the hearts of fans in both the United
States and Britain for more than 22 years.
The band members' blend of leather,
denim, sunglasses and sneakers rendered
them recognizable anywhere, along with
characteristically short, thumping singles
like "I Wanna Be Sedated," "Sheila is a
Punk Rocker" and "Beat on the Brat."
Ramones Mania, the band's 1988 compilation album, quite possibly holds the
record for most songs on one album,
casing 30 of their most popular.
The Ramones retired in 1996 with a
farewell performance on the Lollapalooza
tour and a final performance in Toronto
in 1997.
Joey Ramone spent nearly half of his
life performing, and those of us who were
lucky enough to catch The Ramones, live
hold a ticket stub somewhere reminding
us that we were privy to something
groundbreaking. Joey Ramone will be
missed.

Tom Green Fingered
By MARLINO BATINGA
Pride Staff Writer
"I could not stop laughing,
my stomach ended up hurting
so much" said Lucy Barragan,
a Liberal Arts major from USD.
"I was already falling off of the
edge of my seat and five minutes of the movie hadn't even
passed." If you enjoy MTV's
"The Tom Green Show," then
your stomach will definitely be
hurting after you see "Freddy
Got Fingered." Green, director,
co-writer, and star of this new
motion picture, brings his outrageous antics to the big screen
once again as he plays Gord
Brady, a 28-year-old who dreams
of being an animation artist.
I have to admit this isn't
the greatest movie, but there is
unquestionably no other movie
like this out there. If you've followed Tom Green's work, then
you'd know what to expect from
this madman. However, for those
of you who haven't, let me warn
you that this film will keep you
on your toes due to Green's
sexual and bizarre humor.
When Brady leaves his
hometown of Portland, Oregon
in the attempt of fulfilling his
fantasies in Los Angeles, his
parents couldn't have been more
ecstatic that their son was finally leaving home. As result of
a poor evaluation of his talent,
however, Brady gives up and
runs back home to Portland. His
lack of inspiration causes his
father to try to force him to move
out in order to find a job, but
Brady retaliates by provoking
a father-son feud. With this storyline, "Freddy Got Fingered"
puts a twist on the concept of
father-son relationships as well
as providing the audience with
the moral issue of "not giving
up."
My only issue was that the
movie didn't really make any
sense. "Freddy Got Fingered,"
nevertheless, is a movie that I
recommend and should not be
overlooked, just find someone
to go with and be prepared to
laugh like you've never laughed
before. Tom Green's antics are
definitely worth the money.

o, why is this happening?
What is wrong with us? Do
we, as students, really just not
care? Well, the lack of attendance could easily prove that, yet
enough students complain about
having nothing to do, so they
obviously do care. So, why are
students not showing up? Let's
look at the possible reasons:
The off-campus events are
easy to explain. They are not at a
convenient location to just drop
in. Lack of advertising could
explain it, but most clubs and
organizations have flyers, billboards, signs, and some, not all,
clubs send their club meeting

Judging h y tthe AST R nudget
for Fiscal Year 2000, the student body is paying for a huge
bureaucracy that needs to be
refocused. A large amount of
the budget goes toward employee salaries, an observation that
does not reflect negatively upon
the work of our employees, rather exemplifies a fiscal policy
in need of reform. As an ASI
"shareholder," I would like to
make the following recommendations for next year's budget:
Problem: CSUSM students
do not know how their money
is being spent.
Recommendation :
Videotape the ASI meetings
when the budget is proposed so
that every student can see how
their representatives are allocating their money and how their
representatives voted. Also, post
the budget in the recreation center where all the students can
see it.
Problem: Half the $860,000
budget went toward employee
salaries, benefits, payroll taxes,
and university fees.
Recommendation: Pass legislation restricting that amount
to no more than 35% of the annual budget. Enact a 10-year mora-

benefits, retaining the employees we have now but letting
them know that they won't be
getting a raise anytime soon.
Work with the university about
eliminating excessive fees.
Problem: The CSUSM Early

no support from the university.
Last year, Betsy Gibbs of Cal

State Fullerton conducted a survey of twenty CSU Child Care
Facilities. Nineteen CSU's contributed an average of $56,000
to their respective childcare programs. According to the survey,
CSUSM was the only school that
did not contribute any money
directly toward its daycare center. Recommendation: Insist that
the administration support our
day care facility and return
that amount to the students.
The "extra" money would,help
offset the $160,000 loss the

ences annually.
Problem: Restrict discretionary spending. Example: The
Early Learning Center shows it
spends $1,000 on advertising,
but we never see any advertisements in the campus newspaper. That Money probably went
toward administrative supplies,
but the ASI budget has that category listed with a separate
amount.
Recommendation: Design a
budget that restricts this type of
spending.
Problem: Only $25,000 of
the $860,000 budget (less than
3%) is allocated toward supporting club activities.
Recommendation: Increase
that amount to entice more club
participation.
Finally, as a show of good
faith, the ASI Board of Directors
could vote themselves a 10%
decrease in their scholarships.
They would return the combined
savings of that money (approximately $3,300) to the students.

By CLAY BABER
Pride Staff Writer
As I . walked to my seat in
the open access computer lab in
Academic Hall, I began to realize that in the time it took me
to print a copy of my midterm
project, my computer space had
been invaded by a group of students who were huddled around
the computer next to mine.
At first I didn't think anything of it. I figured that a simple "Excuse me" would do the
trick, and I would have my own
space back. As I approached the
pack of bodies clustered around
my station, I noticed that not
only did I no longer have a chair,
but the mouse and keyboard of
my computer were practically
buried under a pile of backpacks and binders. One of these
backpacks happened to be conveniently placed on the right
hand side of the keyboard so that
my midterm project was now
concluded with seven pages of
2's 3's and 6's.
Naturally I assumed that the
whole situation was an accident,
and that these invaders would
certainly understand my position when I asked them to move
their belongings and their bodies
out of my space. Once I shouted
over them to get their attention,
I got a response, but not exactly
what I expected.
When I asked them to please
move their stuff and relinquish
my chair, they looked at me
like I was an idiot. I received no
apology, and I was looked upon
as if I was the one causing a
problem. The "chair t hief' actually asked me to find him another seat. I thought to myself,
"Remain calm. Some people just
can't help being stupid."
Not once did I raise my
voice, nor did I make a scene,
although I had every right to.
Instead I spoke politely and maintained my composure so that I
did not "sink to
their level," so
to speak.
After a
short deliberation, I got my
chair back, but
now the mound
of backpacks
that was originally on top of
my keyboard was piled on the
floor at my feet. So there I sat,
sidesaddle in my chair trying
to create a reference page for
my project, while the swarm of
students carried on at a noise
level that made it impossible to
concentrate on anything.
I am not quite sure what they
were doing on the computer, but
they were glued to the screen
like a group of eight-year-old
boys looking at a dirty magazine. Who knows, but perhaps
I was interrupting some type
of substantial bonding moment
for these individuals. Maybe
they were just blatantly rude.
Whatever the case, I was amazed
at the lack of respect for others
that they exhibited.
I realize this particular lab is
not designated a "quiet" lab, and
that these students had as much
of a right to be there as I did.
What they do not have, however,
is the right to disrupt others who
are minding their own business,
working intently on important
school projects.
We are all here to learn the
skills necessary to succeed in
life, yet some
of us seem to
lack the basic
"people skills
needed to
interact with
others on
campus. Like
it or not, we
all have to work together here,
so how about brushing up on
your common courtesy guidelines. We all will benefit.
My intent in sharing this
episode is not to point a finger at
anyone in particular, but instead
it is to open someone's eyes to
their irrational behavior. I hold
no grudges, nor do I seek any
type of revenge for the actions
of these students. My only hope
is that these, individuals now
realize how their actions affect
others, and that perhaps they
will begin to show respect and
courtesy towards their fellow
students.
"Some people
just can't help
being stupid."

Invitational and Azusa Pacific's
Meet of Champions both proved

Luci Downey ran the 400-meter
with a time of 57.83 seconds giving her a NAIA national qualifying time. An outstanding second

race by Marcus Chandler with
a time of 3:55.86, along with
Mike Shannon (3:58.38) and
Mike Manzano (4:04.04) finishing shortly after. Ryan Miller,
in the high jump, placed second,

Could the
Internet be
the Solution
for Student
Housing?
By: Angela Oesterle
Pride Staff Writer
"Where are they going to
go?" This seems to be the first
question students ask when they
are told that CSUSM will no longer offer housing as of June 2001.
Interim Director of Student and
Residential Life, Sandra Punch,
tells students to wait for the "big
package" housing has in store for
2003.
With construction of the
apartment-style dorms anticipated
to break ground in fall 2001, Student Housing and Residential Life
(SRL) is looking more towards
the future rather than focusing on
the current impact of the elimination of student housing. The
dorms are expected to include
400+ beds and will be available
for CSUSM students in Fall 2003,
but the CSU Trustees must first
approve the plan.
Punch is working to establish a housing program with such
people as Russ Decker, Director
of Design and Construction;
Susan Mitchell, Senior Director
of Health, Counseling, and
Disability Services; Jonathan
Poullard, Dean of Students,
Francine Martinez, VP of Student
Affairs; and others.
Although there will be no
school-sponsored housing, Punch
believes alternatives, such as
seeking housing centers via the
Internet, will benefit students.
"What we are really doing right
now is upgrading our web site,"
said Punch, "We are actually visiting a dozen apartment complexes in the area, from Escondido to
Vista and places in Carlsbad...\ye
will be doing virtual tours of
those [apartment complexes] ."
According to Punch, the
remodeled web site "will provide
an online web-based listing service, for apartment complexes
and individuals to list."

Hannibal Returns After Ten Years

packed crowds into theaters, as
Hannibal has seemed to do on its
opening weekend. It is hardly fair,
however, to assume that with gore
comes a bad story, bad acting, and
bad direction. Hannibal proves
quite the contrary to all these.
This sequel to Silence of the
Lambs brings everyone's favorite
cannibal back into the spotlight.
After living a life of anonymity for
years, Hannibal Lecter (Anthony
Hopkins) starts up with his old
tricks after FBI Special Agent

regularly park on campus. Robert
Williams, Technical Coordinator
of Parking Services at CSUSM,
explains, "The rows of [Lot E]
are not conducive to stack parking, they're too narrow. Even if
we wanted to do stack parking
[in Lot E], it's not feasible"
The increased lot space will also
make more special parking permits available to students. Dora
Knoblock, Director of Parking
Services at CSUSM, emphasizes
that parking services will strive to
accommodate alternative modes
of transportation such as bicycling, walking, and carpooling,
"A main emphasis for us is
expanding on the carpool program and alternative modes [of
transportation]." Construction on
lot E is scheduled t o be complete
by March 20 of this year.
Parking Services spends an
additional $1,000 per month in
rent for the use of parking space
at the San Marcos Ambulatory
Care Center (SMACC), located
across from campus on Twin
Oaks Valley Road. Students,
however, are deterred from using
this space due to the lack of shuttle service offered at CSUSM.
"We currently have 160 spaces at
SMACC that are clearly stenciled.
Unfortunately we don't have people using them," says Knoblock.

up her floral arrangements outside

Lind's curiosity to see how

to submit a business proposal to
Aztec Shops two months prior to
the event. Aztec Shops, who oversees the bookstore and the convenience store, authorized permission for Lind to set up and conduct

Lind would pay 10% of the profits
to Aztec Shops.
"It is a great idea, aside from

T he New Face of Oceanside
By: James Newell
Pride Staff Writer
Another step toward Oceanside's beach redevelopment was
unveiled on Thursday, February
15. What is now one of San
Diego's last undeveloped bits of
coastline will, in the years to
come, follow alongside the rest of
Southern California.
The Manchester Project,
named after its founder, proposes
to develop the two-block area
of Pier View Way and Pacific
Street.
The initial designs, including
a 500-room hotel spread across
three structures, did not meet the
guidelines set by the local coastal
program. Thursday night's meeting discussed a refined and somewhat toned-down version. The
revised plan consists of approximately 400 hotel rooms in just
two buildings. Compared to the
size of hotels around the world
these days, it isn't all that grand
but put it on the beach in Oceanside; it will stand out ias if it were
the MGM Grand.
Opposition to the project from
the beginning has been wide-
spread. A focus of local community concern is that the initial
plan involves using public parkland around the pier and the possibility of limiting public parking
and access to the area.
Joyce Powers of the Oceanside City Redevelopment Agency
explains that there will always be
a certain amount of opposition to
such a change, but as time moves
on people will see the benefits.
She added that public access is
still in question, but the scaled
back version leaves the amphitheater and the surrounding parkland as city property. The aspect
people are having a problem with
is that the part of Pacific Street
affected will no longer be open to
vehicular traffic. The small section of street between Pacific St.
and Pier View Way will be turned
into a pedestrian thoroughfare.
This will divert traffic two blocks
east around the hotel; placing the
front of the hotel on Myers St. and
the back no father than Pacific
St.
After hearing the basic intentions of the Manchester Project,
people appeared positive about
the proposed changes, but harbor
some concerns about the fina
plans. Todd Ayers, owner o

Project leaders and the city
council insist that the redevelopment will aid in the efforts,
already in progress, to clean up
the city. Once complete, the
resort will contain restaurants and
stores in addition to the hotel,
creating local employment opportunities. City and project leaders
say it will bring millions of dollars to the community in tax revenues alone.
With the Environmental

Chris Rock Delivers the Laughs in Down to Earth

Unbeknownst to some people, Down To Earth is a remake

angel's mistake. That person in
Down To Earth, is Lance Barton,
portrayed by funnyman Chris
Rock (Lethal Weapon 4). Barton
is a black deliveryman and an
unsuccessful comedian who is
humor-challenged onstage at
comedy clubs. In fact, he is nicknamed "Booey" because he is
booed off the stage so often. Offstage, however, he is very funny
and is looking forward to the
chance to perform at A p o l l o ' s
amateur night.
While making a delivery on
his bike, he is love struck by the

Inside, Barton is still Barton and

Greetings,
Letter from the Editors
Last week, The Pride Editors and Business Manager represented CSUSM in the 23rd Annual
College Media Convention in New York. Students in media from community colleges, public, and
private universities from across the country gathered together from Feb. 15-17 to share new ideas,
discuss problems, and learn from professionals in present day media. During those three days, more
than 200 workshops were held, covering topics such as vcopyediting, media law, newspaper design,
and photojournalism.
The New York Times photo editor, Mike Smith, offered one interesting workshop, dealing with photojournalism in a "digital world." Smith's insight on photographing different perspectives, proved very
valuable for some of our staff; and we hope to bring more interesting and unusual photographs to the
pages of The Pride. Some other topics Smith addressed included the importance of teamwork and the j
ethical responsibilities for those in student newspaper.
A legal advisor for the Southern Methodist University student newspaper also gave important infor- I
mation for news writers and interesting methods for obtaining information for investigative articles.
The New York Times news design editor gave an informative lecture on news layout. We can only |
hope to improve from the excellent design tips he provided.
Matt Zoller Seitz, of The New York Press and Village Voice, gave an entertaining lecture on review |
writing. Although he focused on how to properly critique arts, he also emphasized the importance of j
knowing how to write in all fields of journalism.
One common theme present throughout the workshops we attended was the importance o f i
representing the student voice.
It is our hope that the knowledge we gained from such workshops will be reflected upon future issues
of The Pride.
Again, The Pride strongly encourages student contributions. Please feel free to send in submissions j
via e-mail to pride@csusm.edu; drop by and talk to the staff in the Commons 206 Office (next to the :
Student Lounge); send critiques and suggestions by visiting The Pride web site at www.csusm.edu/pride: 5
or even consider taking the student newspaper (although you do not have to be a student in the class i
to write for the newspaper).

crowd in Academic Hall 102 by
reminding people to "praise God
tonight and know you're going

Willis' son, James C. Willis, had
his first public saxophone solo
in front of the crowd of about
55 people. Playing "Wavering

applauded by many supporters in
the audience.
James Willis, however, was

Smooth Sailing for CSUSM:
Weathering the Storm of Thundering Electricity Rates
By: Marcy Rivera
Pride Staff Writer
The rising electricity rates
have affected virtually all
Californians in some way, especially the rate of their blood pressure when they open the latest
bill from the electric company.
If people have been negatively
affected at home, then they might
assume that CSUSM is suffering
terribly by the electricity crisis as
well. Contrary to this notion, Cal
State San Marcos is faring better
than might be expected.
"The school started to make
changes a couple of years ago,"
said Tom Blair, Director of
Facilities, when asked about energy saving techniques on campus.
The university conserves
energy in ways that students may
or may not realize. Blair explained
that these changes included lower
wattage lighting, automatic shut-

Student Clubs
Compete with
Vendors
By: Marlino Bitanga
Pride Staff Writer
The vendors present during
last week's club fundraising took
some of the spotlight from oncampus clubs by exhibiting the art
of self-employment. Ed Dillard,
owner of Remember Them, began
his day by hauling more than
1,000 posters and metal signs
from the parking lot for his kiosk
on Founders Plaza.
"I've been in business for 18
years and this is my seventh year
full-time," said Dillard. "I like
being my own boss because I can
work in the middle of the week
and it allows .me to present my
products to people," he added.
After working
Monday
through Friday, from 9am-5pm
and encountering an average of
200-300 prospective consumers
each day, Ellen Amoaku, owner
of an African artifact boutique,
agreed with Dillard's preference
for self-employment. "This is my
business and it is a very good
experience," said Amoaku, "I
have been coming here on campus for five years selling African
artifacts and jewelry."
Despite the changes of selling
from campus to campus, various
car shows and swap meets, Dillard
said that one thing remains the
same: "It's easy to get out there
and sell, but it's not easy to make
money"

Clubs are required to register
a week in advance if they plan
to participate in Club Fundraising Week.
"My club does not charge
a membership fee, so whatever
days ASI gives us, we have to
make sure that we register for
those days," said Lanese. "Our
funds depend on how much we
raise from fundraising."
Alejandra Sanchez, a member of Ballet Folklorico, said,
"There is not enough time and
if you miss the registration deadline you can't participate, which
is utifair."
When asked what she thought

Where does spectacular writing derive from? What does the

when life intervenes? The truth.
The backbone of great writing
dwells within the truth of life
and the sincerity of the author's
opinion. Such questions and
statements describe the topics

Ray Bradbury, the author of many
short stories and various novels,
including The Illustrated Man
and Fahrenheit 451.
Bradbury addressed the
young budding writers within the
audience. According to Bradbury,

"it's obvious that you're doing
something wrong . .. you're writing things to benefit the world, to

by impacting students at the high

Thirteen artists have drawn on
the imagery associated with various car cultures to create the •
displayed works.
The media include sculpture,
painting, photography, drawing,
poster art and installation, which
capture the essence of the different car cultures and the automobile's influence on American
society. In addition to these forms
of artwork, several custom cars
are also on display.

Hot Rods, roadsters and
racers revved their engines for
the 15th Annual Rod Run on
February 17 and 18 in Temecula.
The Rod Run is a Temecula tradition that takes place each year,
rain or shine, the weekend following Valentine's Day. The city
closed traffic through Old Town
Temecula and blocked off Front
Street, where car owners lined
the streets with approximately
800 automobiles ranging from
low riders to drag racers to muscle cars.
In addition to the cacophonous competitions of engines, the
Rod Run offered food, live music
and activities for children. The
Wine and Beer Garden was one of
the congested venues along Front
Street. The Temecula Museum
and antique shops were also
popular sites. Many spectators
also enjoyed walking their dogs
or chatting with vehicle owners
about the various restorations and
augmentations of their hot rods.

is also found inside the museum

atop a flamed-Mercury "hot rod."
Another artist, Robert Williams, depicts the "hot rod" culture of the 1950s and 1960s by
painting comic-book-like images
of customized cars and racing.
This illustrates both the style and
the potential danger of these types
of vehicles.
Some of the more commercialized images of hot rods featured in this exhibit come from
artists Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and
"Coop." Roth's work includes cartoonish characters such as "Rat
Fink" at the wheel of flaming,
tire-smoking hot rods that appear
on t-shirts and posters. Coop's
images of devilish women and

A New Exhibit in CSUSM Library
Lynda Koolish Presents "The Weather of Change/and Clear Light"
By: Carrie Parker
Pride Staff Writer
"Sometimes, the photograph,
like a poem, becomes a window of
light," says Lynda Koolish about
her photography. Lynda Koolish,
a distinguished professional photographer and English professor,
has captured the essence of Black
History Month in her photographic exhibit on display in the
CSUSM Library.
. Her exhibit titled "The
Weather of Change and Clear
Light," presents portraits of
famous African- American writers such as Maya Angelou,
Phenomenal Woman; Ernest J.
Gaines, A Lesson Before Dying;
Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon;
Alice Walker, The Color Purple ;
and June Jordan, Affirmative Acts:
Political Essays.
The natural lighting, which
Koolish deems so important, truly
draws attention to the features
of the wise and knowing faces
beneath the glass. The lighting
in the photographs is natural so
that the shadows fall naturally on
the faces, causing their features
to stand out. The plain backgrounds also draw viewers to
these intriguing portraits.
We know these writers. We've
all read or seen Walker's The
Color Purple. When we read one
of these books or poems, we may
have felt the author's emotion.
Koolish's photographs allow us
to look into the eyes of one of
these accomplished writers and
see the pain, the sadness and the
joy that these authors have experienced throughout the years.
Toni Morrison's portrait is
serene. The wrinkles in her face
make her look wise and compassionate. The way she looks down
makes her seem as if she is smiling at an innocent child, one that
knows nothing of racism.
Alice Walker, in her portrait,
is reading. This is symbolic in
the fight against racial views of
African Americans. The portrait
is cajm as she smiles and sits in a
rocking chair. Koolish's portraits
look peaceful at first glance, but
as we peer deeper into the faces,
we can feel the anger and disappointment of a people's history.
This exhibit is especially
touching, as it's on display during
Black History Month. Each photograph was an emotional experience because I knew the literary
works of these writers, and I
knew that many of them tried or
are still trying to change the racist views that some people hold.
Lynda Koolish is currently
an Associate Professor of English
at San Diego State University.
She has spent the last 30 years
working as a professional photographer, exhibiting her work
at the Cork Gallery in Lincoln
Center for the Performing Arts;
the Rosenberg Gallery of Goucher
College; the Salt Lake City Public
Library; the Marriot Library of
the University of Utah; the San
Diego State University Library;
and the Ilan-Lael Foundation. The
University Press of Mississippi
will be publishing a book of her
photographs in 2001.
People interested in the exhibit are welcome and encouraged to
view the photographs firsthand in
the CSUSM Library. The exhibit
will be open through February
2 8.

Asian-American Bands on the X l C
vS
By: Roland Arias Jr.
Pride Staff Writer
On Friday, February 16, the
Filipino-American group, Devo*
tion9' kicked off its Image of
Devotion Tour 2001 at the East
County Performing Arts Center
in El Cajon. Devotion is one of
the many up-and-coming AsianAmerican groups that are making
an impact in the music industry.
With its ability to bridge even
the most complicated of lyrics into
a truly harmonious experience,
Devotion brings notoriety and
recognition for Filipino-American
groups and singers such as Jocelyn Enriquez and KAI. The group
is composed of members Richmond Andal, Eric Cruz, Rodney
Hildalgo, Ian Pesigan and John-
Paul Riturban. First singing for
their church in Orange County, the
five Los Angeles natives formed
the group in 1997 and gained popularity by performing a cappella
hits of various pop stars. Now
with their own album, Image of
Devotion and touring the West
coast, the group has an excellent
blend of R&B and pop. The
group came up with the name
Devotion "because of our devotion to family, music and God,"
Hidalgo explained to the audience.
With limited resources at its
disposal, the band was able to
make a stellar performance without a fancy set or flashing lights.
During the concert the quintet
performed its hit singles "Another
Day," "You're not Alone" and
"Need You by My Side." The
five musical artists mesmerized
the audience with their passionate voices. Throughout the entire
program, the crowd was savoring
every moment that Devotion was
on stage. The concert peaked
when Devotion performed the
single that garnered its success,
"Girl It's You." With each note in
synchronous harmony* the performance drew the audience's entire
support as they sang along dwelling upon every verse.
Cal State San Marcos students
who attended the concert gave
good reviews. "For an unknown
band it was a very well organized
concert and listening to them was
like actually listening to their
CD," said Peter Trinh, a sophomore student and Computer
Science major.
Most ofDevotion's songs were
based on love related themes and
the variety of its music was somewhat limited. Unlike other boy
bands such as the Backstreet
Boys and *NSYNC, Devotion,
along with other Asian-American bands such as Azn Dreamers,
Inner Voices and Voice 5, play
to more of a melodramatic audience. While groups such as Devotion tend to focus solely on slower
paced songs rather than incorporating intricate dance routines, its
amorous lyrics and elegant sounding voices demonstrate that it is
not just another boy band.

Smoking On Campus
By: Amy Bolaski
Pride Staff Writer
Recently I spoke with a student who mentioned some comments that had been directed
toward her, comments she found
rude and unnecessary. This student was smoking, and obviously
this offended enough to warrant
some not-so-polite commentary.
Having been both a smoker and
a non-smoker at various times, I
too have been privy to the endless litany of rude comments,
glares and otherwise obnoxious
behavior from non-smokers. On
the other hand, I sympathize with
those of you who have been on
the receiving end of a giant cloud
of noxious smoke that's been
exhaled directly in your face by
someone truly oblivious. But the
fact remains that smoking outside
is legal in California and all the
rude behavior in the world isn't
going to change that.
I won't waste any time listing
the health risks of smoking or the
hazards associated with secondhand smoke. Maybe I'm presuming a bit here, but I'll go ahead and
acknowledge that we're all familiar with the dangers. That said, it
stands to reason that people have
the right to defend their health;
smokers have the right to smoke.
This is an on-going battle, albeit
one that takes place under the
radar, and one that should be
addressed in the specific context
of the atmosphere of a college
campus.
Two years ago, students at
Palomar College circulated a petition calling for a smoke-free environment in hopes of bringing the
issue before the governing board.
The petitions circulated, signatures were collected, but nothing
came of it. The issue was not
brought up before the governing
board and nothing changed. Students still smoke at Palomar and
at every other publicly funded
university or college.
Private schools have the right
to designate specific smoking policies (aside from the standard
6-feet-away from the buildings
law). I attended Azusa Pacific
University, a school that has
designated the campus smokefree. Students still smoked, if not
on campus, on the periphery of
campus, arid it wasn't unusual to
^see people lined up and down
the sidewalks, which were used
by any number of non-smokers
everyday. No matter what the
policy, smoke is going to circulate in the air. And, until smoking is rendered an illegal activity,
those who ate bothered by it are
going to have to deal with it.
This niay sound harsh, and I
can hear the protests even as I
write this. Yes, it's unfair, even
offensive to some, but those of
you who don't smoke have the
right to (politely) ask those lighting up to step aside if they happen
to be smoking next to a building,
in front of the coffee stand, or
right in your face. People gathered in the dome area or congregated on the steps have as much
right to stand there and smoke as
you do to stand there and gossip.
After all, the free speech area
gives anyone who wants it the
right to tell students they're going
to burn in hell for smoking, that
all the girls on campus will get
all the boys in trouble, that we're
all nothing but whore-mongers,
"Eves," and purveyors of original sin (as happened this week).
I find this sort of behavior completely ridiculous, not to mention
ignorant; I imagine it is nothing
but offensive to some. I do support the right to be there and say
what one will, just as I support
anyone who wants to smoke on
campus.
If it bothers you and you
find that you're prone to shooting
nasty, looks or disparaging comments toward those who smoke,
please realize how unnecessary
this is. You can always politely
state your'case if you must or y ou.
can walk away. I did.

Major Problems,
Minor Solutions
By: J. Ryan Sandahl
Pride Staff Writer
I recently had a discussion
with my father about the current
energy crisis in Southern
California. During the discussion, he told me he had read
a newsletter from an environmentalist who works in northern
California. In the newsletter, the
environmentalist explained that
if people made minor changes
in their energy use, the problem
would go away.
For example, if every person
changed the light bulbs in their
house to fluorescent, the energy
problem would solve itself.
Fluorescent light bulbs do cost
more, but they last much longer
than regular light bulbs and use
much less energy to run.
The government is advocating spending several million dollars building more power plants
to solve the energy problem, and,
for the most part, people are
accepting that. In some cases,
these ugly power plants have to be
built in people's backyards. Most
people do not seem to mind this,
of course, because this is a solution to a big problem California
is facing and the government is
stepping in to resolve it.
If instead, the government
were to buy the entire State of
California fluorescent light bulbs
for people to change, they would
spend only one-tenth of what they
will spend to build the ugly power
plants. This will save the government a lot of money and people
will not have ugly power plants
in their back yards.
Would
this
work?
Theoretically yes. But unfortunately, most people will not
accept it because they are lazy.
"It's too much work to put all the
fluorescent lights in," they would
say. When a light bulb burns
out, what do you do? You put
in another one. It takes about
thirty seconds. Add up all the
lights in your house and we're
talking maybe a twenty-minute
job. Twenty or so minutes and
the energy crisis would end.
Of course people would have
to get used to "white" light in
their house, which they eventually would. "Oh we don't like
the light," people will say. Well
it's white light, or it's no light,
because eventually power will
run out and then we'll be lighting candles. Hmm, maybe white
light is better. And I hear the
government is offering refunds
on the purchase of fluorescent
light bulbs.
Another item the environmentalist suggested was a showerhead. This particular shower
head puts out less of a blast of
water than a normal shower head,
thus saving water, and in theroy,
conserving the amount of engery
your water heater would use to
generate the hot water it is putting out to all the faucets iii
your house. This would replace
a normal showerhead and save
both energy the hot water heater
uses to heat the water and water-two things that are scarcities in
Southern California.
Would this work? Again,
yes. But people are too lazy t o
replace the showerheads in their
homes as well. So we're back to
square one, which is building the
ugly power plants and spending
more money than we should on
a problem that could be more
easily solved.
This is because people today
would rather consume than conserve. For example, the prices
at the pump continue to go up
and people gripe and complain
about it, but what do they do?
They still pump the gas. Don't
bother with carpooling or riding
bicycles or anything, just pay
more and get the gas. Well what
happens when the oil runs out—
which apparently is supposed to
happen in about 50 years if we
continue on the wasteful consumption we are currently using?
Electric cars are in the near
future.
I was fascinated by the conversation my father and I had,
and I was reminded of the ancient
Chinese proverb, "We did not
inherit the earth [and it's natural
resources in this case] f rom our
ancestors, _we are only borrowing it from our children." It
seems, from this conversation,
that our children are going to
suffer because we are consuming
all of their resources.

California
Independent
System Operator (Cal-ISO) is the
"controller of the state's power
grid" that "transformed private
power lines into public electron
highways^ so companies can serve
consumers in the new energy
marketplace,'' according to their
home page at www.caiso.com.
Cal-ISO controls the distribution
of electricity in California.
Its home page provides no
interesting information at all, and
the same can be said for almost
the entirety of the Cal-ISO pages.
To make matters worse, large
amounts of indecipherable and
irrelevant data is mostly stored inv
PDF format, making for inconvenient reading and navigation of
the web pages.
However, the www.caiso.com/
SystemStatus.html page is the
only exception, where a chart
provides a display of the expected
power usage of the state throughout the day and a regularly updated display of the actual power
usage. This is the place to check
if you are curious about how
much electricity is being used in
California.
With all the discussion of
Stage Two and Stage Three alerts
and rolling blackouts, it is interesting to see displays of the real
demand for electricity.
Perhaps the most interesting
information is what does not show
up on the Cal-ISO web sight
at all: the difference between
the generating capacity and the
demand. The demand is displayed
in the chart on www.caiso.com/
SystemStatus.html; however, the
generating capacity cannot be
determined on that page. The
difference between the generating capacity and the demand is
what causes the alerts and rolling
blackouts.
There are listings of generating stations that are not functioning, but the Cal-ISO does not list
the output of the power plants.
The nature of the information presented by the Cal-ISO is
fairly dry; nevertheless, the manner in which it is displayed on,the
www.caiso.com web pages could
be improved significantly, as the
current system leaves a great deal
to be desired.

Student and Residential Life
announced in a December 11
press release that CSUSM "will
not continue its limited off-campus housing operation after the
end of the current academic
year."
Under the current program,
CSUSM has a contract with
Islands Apartments that allows
students to lease apartments at
below-market rates. The contract, which provides 77 rental
units for CSUSM students^ will
terminate as of June 30, 2001.
The decision not to renew its
contract with Islands Apartments
leaves the university without student housing until the completion
of a 400-bed project expected in
2003.
Sandra L. Punch, director
of Student and Residential Life
(SRL) for CSUSM, stated in the.
press release that "Not offering
the program was a tough decision," she added, "We understand
the rental market is very tight,
and we will do all we can to help
students who need housing find
it."
Three factors listed by Punch
in the decision to end its current
contract include:
• The number of first-year
students attracted to Cal State
San Marcos continues to increase
significantly each year. As a
result, the campus has found
it impossible to support a full
range of residential life programs
and the services necessary for
an effective and sustainable program.

CSUSM Not a Prison
PDC to Renovate Campus Look
By: Melanie Addington
Pride Editor
After eighteen years of public service, Congressman Ron
Packard retired this past January.
Upon request from CSUSM,
Packard donated several boxes
of congressional papers to the
university.
When asked why the university requested the congressional papers from Congressman
Packard,
Carol
Bonomo,
Associate Vice President for
External Affairs, gave two reasons: the national history involved
in Congressman Packard's writein victory to Congress and the
history of the university. Packard
was CSUSM's founding congressman before the new district
lines were drawn in 1990.
"I hope that these papers will
give good insight into the political history of the region," said
Bonomo.
According to Marion Reid,
Dean of Library and Information
Services, "CSUSM will be
keeping papers unique to
Congressman Packard, such as
his speeches and letters tracking
his actions in Congress."

Yet, according to Malone, the
"flow" of the building is further
complicated due to the temporary
placement of the library on the
third and fourth levels. While
planning the administration and
services building, CSUSM lost
funding for the original library
and had to put a temporary library
in the middle of Craven Hall.
Once the new library is built,
however, they plan to use the open
space of the fourth floor for open
administration offices, Disabled
Student Services and EARS (EOP
and ASPIRE).
According to Cheryl Le Gras,
Senior Director of College Success
Services, a "one-stop shop" for
students will be located on the
third floor. This will include
Financial Aid and Enrollment
Services. "The cashiers will not
be moved into the one-stop shop
center," says Le Gras, "but during
peak times of the year, which have
not been determined, individuals
from cashiering will be stationed
at the counter in the one-stop
shop." The one-stop shop opening
target date is Spring 2004.
In addition, a one-card sys-
tem office may be added. Marti
Gray, the Executive Director of
the Foundation at CSUSM, is currently coordinating the "needs
assessment phase" of the one-card
system. Gray pointed out that "the
campus has not yet determined
whether we will have a 'one-card'
or not. If the campus decides that
it's beneficial [from a service and
a financial standpoint] to have a
'one-card,' students will be asked
to participate in the planning of
services offered on the card."
Proposed under the one-card
system, students will only use
one-card as a student I.D., printing
card, campus debit card, and dormitory housing key. When asked
if he would like using a one-card
system, student David Ludwig
said, "I believe that [it] could be a
convenient system if the potential
security issues were ignored. It
would be convenient to have one
card to do everything; however, I
would not be comfortable with the
access into my life that someone
else would gain if they got a hold
of my card."
Regarding student concern,
Marti Gray said, "they [CSUSM]
are fully aware of all security
issues and any concerns of students and these will be looked
into if they decide to plan the
one-card system."
The Career and Assessment
Center, photo I.D., Student and
Residential Life, and a satellite
office for Counseling and
Psychological Services will also
be located on the third floor
once the Craven Hall Renovation
Project is completed.

CSUSM Students Reveal
Beliefs in National Survey
By: Jayne Braman
Pride Graduate Intern
CSUSM students participated
in the inaugural National Survey
of Student Engagement (NSSE).
The findings from the spring
2000 survey reveal that "CSUSM
curriculum is distinguished by
an unusually strong emphasis
on abstract thinking skills, writing, the use of electronic medium, and fostering interaction
among students from diverse
backgrounds,"
according
to
Bettina Huber, Director of
Analytic Studies, in her address
Wednesday, Jan. 31, at the AllFaculty Meeting and Academic
Assembly.
The NSSE survey is an extension from an annual inquiry of
four-year colleges and universities. The NSSE survey is unique
in that respondents estimate the
amount of time they, devote to
various academic activities during the academic year instead
of responding to questions about
their level of satisfaction. Last
spring's survey focused on entering and exiting students at a
diverse group of 276 four-year
colleges and universities. Surveys
were randomly sent to 350 firsttime freshman and 350 seniors at
CSUSM, with responses from 163
freshman and 206 seniors.
Students responded to 40 survey items that developed five
benchmarks for effective educational practice. The benchmark
scores revealed:
1) Level of Academic Challenge, wherein 85 percent of
seniors and 80 percent of freshman responded that they were
intellectually and creatively challenged by an emphasis on synthesis and analysis and the number of
papers required.
2) Enriching Educational
Experiences, wherein 85 percent
of seniors and 65 percent of
freshman responded that they
were exposed to peers with
diverse ideological Viewpoints
and cultural backgrounds and
that opportunities in electronic
media allowed them to access to
real-world experiences.
3) Active and Collaborative
Learning, which focused on participatory activities, scored in the
75th percentile with seniors and
the 70th percentile with freshman.
4) Student Interactions with
Faculty Members, however, scored
disproportionately low scores
when compared with responses
from comparable schools. Only
30 percent of seniors and freshmen responded that they interacted with faculty outside of class.
Huber believes that the results
reflect an aspect that is "not
integral to life on a commuter
campus." Students tend to leave
campus shortly after classes with
approximately 40 percent of students working more than 20 hours
per week off campus.
5)
Supportive
Campus
Environment - this benchmark
reflects a disparity between freshman and seniors responses with
60 percent of freshman feeling
that the faculty and staff are committed to their success while only
25 percent of seniors responded
similarly.
"CSUSM received disproportionately high scores on three
of the five benchmarks identified," commented Huber, "One
of the reasons the San Marcos
respondents find their course work
unusually challenging is the substantial emphasis their courses
place on abstract-thinking skills.
Both freshman and senior
respondents are more likely than
those at other master-level campuses to say that their courses
place substantial emphasis on analyzing ideas or theories, on synthesizing information and experiences, and on making judgments
about the accuracy of arguments
and methods."
Campus administrators feel
that these curricular strengths are
reflective of longstanding campus
commitments and may lead to a
distinguished trademark for the
university.

Due to the shortage of library

Radin Scholarships Available to Volunteers
By: Darcy Walker
Pride Staff Writer
Many students volunteer their
time to help out in the community, either through a campus club,
their church, or one of several
classes at CSUSM that have
service learning components.
These students f ind rewards in
the form of experience, academic
credit, or personal satisfaction.
Now, through the new Radin
Community Service Scholarship,
students who give their time and
work can receive a $1,000 cash
award.
Fresno entrepreneur Marc
Radin started the scholarship.
According to Lynda Gaynor,
Director of the O ffice of
Community Service Learning,
Radin wanted college students to
have the chance to not only to
help in the community, but also to
test out their career ideas.
Therefore, the volunteer work
given by students must relate
to either their major or future
career direction. "We recognize
that either of these factors can credit through a concurrent, relatchange," said Gaynor. The experi- ed course. The $1,000 scholarence of actually working in a ship is awarded at the end of the

Recreational
Fee Really 1
T rack Fee?
By: Tim Farmer
Pride Staff Writer
-
"I didn't know we had to
pay for [the track]," said Martha
Moore, a credential student here
at CSUSM.
Every student must pay a $35
Recreation Fee with their registration dues, but not too many
people know what they are paying for.
When students pick up an
Explanation of Mandatory Fees
sheet from the Cashier's office,
they see the Recreation Fee broken into three different parts.
The first part is the ASI
Recreation Program, a $5 fee for
expenses incurred by Associated
Students, Inc. Second is the
Recreation Fee Provision, a $12
fee for funds set aside to support
one-third of the Financial Aid
requirement. The third part is
the Campus Recreation Program,
which was implemented in spring
2001, an $18 fee to ensure that
debt payments, such as construction costs, maintenance and any
additional projects, are paid in a
timely manner.
When asked about the Recreation Fee Provision, Assistant
Director of Financial Aid, Gerrie
Hatten, said that the Financial
Aid office now sees none of that
fee, but in the past, one third of
any new mandatory fee was put
into a general financial aid pool.
Dr. Francine Martinez, Vice
President of Student Affairs, says
that $30 of the Recreation Fee
goes directly to paying off the
track. When asked about the
Explanation of Mandatory Fees
sheet that was printed this semester, Martinez said, "There must
have been a mistake because
the one-third requirement was
rescinded last spring."
The track itself is a mystery
to many students. "I didn't even
know we could use it. I thought it
was only for the track athletes,"
said Melanie Ostberg, a junior.
CSUSM's%Mangrum Track is
open to students Monday through
Friday from 12pm to 1pm, and
from 5pm to dusk, which is now
around 5:30pm; and Saturdays
from 7am to dusk. The track
is open when it is not being
used by athletes or for previously
scheduled events. The track is
also open to. the public.
"I do feel a little slighted that
the public has access to if as well.
Why, then, are we paying for it
but the public isn't? Anyway, if
it's not something I need, then
why am I paying for it? Also, I
would like to know what I'm paying for," said Ostberg. "I found
out that we could get regular

Santana H igh School Shooting:
Media's Affect on the Students of Santee
By: Tim Farmer
Pride Staff Writer
"Do you guys enjoy making
us kids feel like shit? Why don't
you just leave " said Santana High
freshman David Toombs to a
group of reporters outside of the
Santee Teen Center.
In the wake of the shooting at
Santana High School last Monday,
news reporters from all over the
world have swarmed the Santana
High School campus. Toombs'
statement expressed not only his
feelings, but also the feelings of
a majority of the teenagers in
Santee.
. At the Teen Center many students come in and talk openly
about their emotions. Students
feel safe in the center because
the people that work there have
earned their trust and show their
concern for each student's wel-

fare. When the students talk to
the Teen Center representatives
about reporters, they usually say
the same thing: they hate them.
Most of the reports that are
being broadcast are focusing on
how the students are scared to
go back and why such a frail
kid would start a shooting spree.
Many of the students say the
media is overlooking a huge portion of the emotions felt by all
that were affected. Many of these
teens try to cope with the tragedy
in different ways.
Att the Teen Center, there is
a book that students can write in
so they can work out their emotions. In some poems that were
written in the book, there was
talk about not being able to find
a girlfriend, or how they remember their grandfather's funeral,
or how they always feel alone,
or how they are angry about the
incident.
Dustin Hoft, a 17-year-old
friend of one of the victims, had
his picture taken without his permission, while he was mourning
outside of the school on the day
of the shooting. His picture was
put in The New York Times and
many other newspapers.

In Light of Santana Shooting, San Marcos High "Hit-List" Surfaces
By: Nathan Fields
Pride Feature Editor
Three days after the fatal
shootings at Santana High School,
San Marcos High School Principal Frans Weits released a statement that the school was "adopting a zero-tolerance policy regarding all inappropriate statements
concerning weapons, threats to
do bodily harm to any student
including bullying any student, or
causing disruption of any school
activities."
The statement continued that
any student engaging in such
behavior, or encouraging another
student to do so, would be suspended, pending further investi-
gation, with the possibility
of transfer or expulsion.
The statement was
issued: more than a week
after a San Marcos High
teacher received a handwritten "hit list" written by
a student on Wednesday,
Feb. 28. A student who saw
the list composed seized it
from its author and handed
it to the teacher during
class. The list contained
the names of some of the
author's fellow students that
he possibly would kill if he
had the chance.
Classmates described the
student who created the list

San Marcos High School students wait outside of the counseling office. Most
students that spoke to reporters said they felt confident that nothing such as
the Santana shootings would happen at their school, even after the hit list.

In a meeting Thursday, March
8, "more than words can say," a
famous quote by Cesar Chavez,
motivated students, faculty and
community representatives to
take a big step forward in
planning for the Cesar Chavez
Celebration, scheduled to kick
off March 28, 2001.
"Last year we decided to
do a candlelight vigil to reflect
what Chavez had meant to us.
There was no planning or promotion," said Pedro Anaya Jr., Cesar
Chavez Commemoration Committee Coordinator. "Next thing I
knew, we had a turnout of about
20-3Qof our friends remembering
how and what Chavez stood for.
It was one of the most intimate
experiences I've ever encountered. We decided that we needed
to do this agaiti next year."
Organizations
such
as
MEChA, the Cesar Chavez Commemoration Committee, Community Housing of North County
and the CSUSM Dean of Students office, as well as other volunteers, have planned an array of
activities and exhibits, including
a mariachi band, a film viewing
and panel discussions.
In addition, Assistant Dean of
Students, Tim Bills, affirmed that
efforts are being made to provide students and teachers with
resources and lesson plans for
teaching the life and work of
Chavez. Bills added that a team
of university students would present learning activities to K-12
students at local schools. "I want
to challenge students and our
staff so that by the end of the
celebration we can ask ourselves,
where do we go from here?"

cold feeling only damp feet can
have, all sent me back 20 years to
that irresponsible life I lived as a
kid, just looking for some fun.
Without putting much more
thought into my feelings, since I
was dripping my thoughts away, I
proceeded through the California
deluge (a light sprinkle) and on
to my morning class. Once I was
iri the building and comfortable,
my mind again began to wander
back to the past, looking for the
origin of my rekindled feelings.
They weren't awkward feelings.
It just seemed as if something
was different in my approach
to my morning activities, like a
subtle change over time had gone
unnoticed. The lecture proceeded as normal and my thoughts
returned to day's activities.
The sun began to shine
through the dark skies after class
ended, and as I walked down the
stairs toward the parking area, it
hit me. I looked out upon a sea of
students, and behold: all of them
were jumping over small pools of
water, avoiding what I had lived
to find as a kid: the ever-elusive
rain puddle.
Laughing at the image before
me, I turned in front of University
Hall. The staff at CSUSM was
one step ahead of me. They had
set out cones, illuminating the
perfect course, so I wouldn't miss
one opportunity to puddle jump.
I saw in that one instant the
games of my youth come full
circle, and turn what most would
consider miserable weather into
a day of f un.
So for those of you who say
CSUSM doesn't support enough
sporting events, I introduce you
to the new Intramural Puddle
Jumping Competitions. As the
rainy days persist, don't miss
your opportunity to practice. In
addition to the courses generously marked by bright orange cones,
there are other obscure, more
elusive spots. These areas support all skill levels, from beginner to the long-distance hurdler.
People are always quick to
judge sports and their athletic
worth, but as kids it was always
great when the water accumulated around the neighborhood
and competition was stiff. So
don't pass judgment on a sport
that dates back hundreds of years,
and, although obscured by new
technologies (i.e. levels and
drains), finds a renewed home
here on campus. Although many
of you may try to discredit the
popularity of such a sport, look
around and even at yourself. I
see you all practicing, if not by
a conscious effort, by an instinctual notion—that inner drive for
sport!
Don't be discouraged by the
lack of sports on campus, because
as CSUSM grows, so does the
availability of sports activities.
Look for next year's introduction
of the Stair Climbing Olympics,
and don't t ry . to deny that you're
practicing. I see all of you, huffing and puffing, getting your time
in on those stairs each day. And
just think: if the heads at parking

rather than out, you'll be one step

Deus Ex Machina: The God of the Machine
By: Daniel Huey
Pride Staff Writer
Vending machines are convenient when they work, but can
stress you out when they don't.
As I stood in front of the
vending machine near ACD 126,
it grinned at me, daring me to try
to buy a simple pack of chewing
gum. I fished in my pocket and
sorted through my change until I
pulled out 60 cents. I pushed my
change into the slot. The machine
grinned at me and made clicking
sounds while i t sucked down my
mdney. I fiddled with the buttons
on the front of it and made my
selection. The vending machine
hummed and spewed my pack of
chewing gum onto the louvered
panel.
I thought it would drop
through, but the gum just sat
there, paid for but inaccessible.
The louvered panel only swings
one direction, so someone cannot
reach in and steal any snacks. The
weight of the gum was not sufficient to cause the panel to swing
down.
I wanted that gum, so I
thought about how to get it. I figured if I bought some peanuts that
the weight of the peanuts and the
gum would be enough to flip the
door down and I could get the
gum. I counted out another 75
cents and fed it to the machine.
Again the machine hummed and
pushed my peanuts out, but they
failed to, fall down onto tfys louvered door.
I grimaced as I realized that I

Hit List at San
Marcos High School
»Article cont. from pg. 1
as an intellectual and straight-A
student, who ate lunch alone in an
empty classroom, enjoyed drawing houses and had an obsession
with wolves.
In a press conference on
Thursday, Principal Waits said
that, once apprehended the following day, the student was interviewed by the school's crisis counselor and by sheriff's deputies.
Officials determined that the boy
was not a threat to himself or
others. Weits reported that the
boy had been teased consistently
at San Marcos High and prior to
high school, and was asked to
make the list by another , student
whose name was in the list. The
student was suspended for nearly
a week after writing the list.
High school officials then
waited until Monday of the following week, to inform the parents of the children on the list.
Some parents said they were not
informed until Tuesday, almost
a week after the list surfaced.
Other parents said they were not
notified by the school, and only
learned their children were on
the list when the children called
them from school on Tuesday,
prior to a mediation meeting for
students on the hit list.

him, looking for an interview and more pictures of
him. Hoft continues to
dodge the reporter because
he knows that he'll be asked
questions that bring up
memories he is trying to
move on from. "Not one
reporter that I have heard
interview students says, ' I
feel sorry for what h appened to your friend,' or
'I feel f or you.' They don't
care one damn bit about
us," said Hoft. "If I ever
catch that reporter when
you guys [teen center s taff]
aren't here, I'm going to
beat his face in."
Walking home f rom
school on Thursday, 18-yearold senior Chris Sweda was
asked questions by a
reporter from a local paper.
Bob Harman, the Director
.of Pupil Personnel, advised that
the list be taken seriously and
said the school will alert parents
immediately if such occurrences
happen in the future. The high
school is sending a letter concerning the incident and zero-tolerance policy home to all parents
this week. "They should make it
be an example that you do not
joke about these things in the
school," said parent Catherine
Ingle. Ingle removed her child,
who was on the list, from the
school. Ingle and others urged
school officials to penalize seriously the student who wrote the
list in order to communicate a
message of zero tolerance.
Weits made it a point to
emphasize that "this sort of
behavior starts in the homes and
we are communicating with parents to insure that they begin
teaching their children respect in
their homes. Certainly we have
to teach respect at school, but it
begins at home."
San Marcos High School
senior, Steve Lukich, said that by
not punishing the student enough,
high school administrators are
almost letting this stuff happen.
"It's pretty weird, with all of these
'shootings going on and stuff, that
a kid who brings a fluorescent
toy, a squirt-gun, to school, gets
immediate suspension for several
days, but someone who makes a
hit list is treated like this."
Sweda was saying how
many students at Santana
pick on him because of his
weight, but said he would
never think of shooting
anyone. Another reporter
nearby rushed over when
he heard Sweda say "picked
on" and "shooting," and
asked Sweda, "Are you feeling angry? Are you going
to try to finish what Andy
started?" Sweda, angered
by the news writer, punched
him and broke his nose, and
Sweda continued to walk
home. He said he felt no
remorse and that everybody
praised him for doing so.
Along Magnolia Avenue,
the street that runs in front
of Santana High, students
gathered on the median
with signs encouraging
passersby to honk their
horns; this was to disrupt
the live interviews by the
Asked if he thought something similar to Santana could
occur at San Marcos, Lukich
replied, "There's maybe a few
potentials and it might, but I'm not
stressed out about it. It's almost
so common now, I mean, in New
York, Pennsylvania,' Twenty-Nine
Palms. And somebody brought a
gun to school in Fallbrook. So
it's happening, but I won't let it
affect my life."
Other students said they felt
that the measures taken by school
officials
were

any previous instances of reported conflict.

event was free for students, faculty and staff. Guest speakers*

event, which was billed as "a
lighthearted approach to a serious

Jim Yolk, of the American
Red Cross, addressed the issue of
preparedness in case of a disaster. "The biggest risk we have
[in southern California] is fire."
Yolk acknowledged that earthquakes and floods are threats,
but explained that "if you look
at it from the standpoint of statistics, and history .... what are we
responding to on a regular basis?
We had 376 disaster responses in
the last fiscal year. A vast majority of those disasters were fires,
and the vast majority of those
fires were preventable." Yolk said
that two vital steps to disaster
preparedness are having a plan

promote the center's services.
The NRLC and LAFS are

in the CSU system reflecting
the needs of the Latino community. Specifically, the NLRC conducts research, trains researchers
and provides information systems
reflecting Latino demographics.
This was the first open house
for the NRLC since it moved

G raduation: The More You Know...
By: Roland Arias Jr.
Pride Staff Writer
"The graduation process is
not really clear because it is not
explained like it should be," said
business student Nathan Suwarnasara, "You know the deadlines
but you don't get much detail."
The final steps toward a
degree may be a trying time for
some students, and the process
of applying for graduation may
also be frustrating. One issue that
can confuse students is knowing
when to graduate. Generally, stu-
dents should apply for graduation
the semester before they intend
to graduate. An undergraduate
student must have completed 90
units before s/he can apply.
However, in addition to worrying about completing the necessary units, students must consider other issues.
Walking Vs. Graduating
One issue that can confuse
students is "walking" in the graduation ceremony compared to the
"completion of one's degree." The
ceremony is considered a oncea-year celebration that recognizes
graduates for the current academic year. Graduation refers to
the completion of all requirements
needed to complete a degree.
Often times a student will walk in
the graduation ceremony during
the spring even if s/he still needs
more units for summer graduation. Students who have completed the requirements for their
degree in the fall semester will
participate in the graduation ceremony for the following spring.

�D ay C are Rate H ike
By: Clay Baber
Pride Staff Writer
By providing childcare services at a discounted rate for
students, faculty, and staff, the
ASI Early Learning Center has
been taking a loss. "Last year
we were actually losing money,"
said Joyce Williams, Program
Director for the ELC. "We were
paying out more than we were
bringing in from tuition".
Based on a study conducted
by Williams and ASI Executive
Director Darlene Willis, they
determined that it costs the ELC
$25 dollars per child to provide
one full day of childcare. Last
year the ELC charged CSUSM
students $20 dollars per day for
childcare; faculty and staff $23
dollars per day; and community
families $25 dollars per day. With
the exception of the children of
community families, the ELC's
costs for providing care for each
child exceeded what was being
charged in tuition.
"The fees had not been
increased in more than a year,"
said Williams. Last December,
however, the ASI Board of
Directors approved an increase
in tuition for the ELC.
The tuition increase applies
to both full day care (for 10 hours
and 45 minutes) and part day (for
five hours and 45 minutes). The
fee increase will take effect in
two phases; the first phase began
in February.
The first phase involved an
increase in tuition from $23 to
$25 dollars per day for full day f
care for the children of CSUSM
faculty and staff, and an increase
from $25 to $27 dollars per day
for community families. There
will be no change in tuition for
part day care, nor will there be
any change in tuition for full day
care for the children of CSUSM
students.
When the second phase
begins in July, there will be
an increase in tuition from $20 to
$22 dollars per day for full day
care for the children of CSUSM
students, but no further increase
for faculty, staff, and community
families. Additionally, the* tuition
for part day care will be increased
by $1 dollar per day for all children. This equates to an increase
from $14 to $15 dollars for students, from $16 to $17 dollars
for faculty and staff, and from
$17 to $18 dollars for community
families.
In comparison, the Child
Development Center at Palomar
College is able to offer free childcare to students because their
program is totally subsidized by
the state. Currently, the only subsidies for the ELC come from
ASI. CSUSM students pay $5
dollars per semester for the ELC
with their student fees; however,
faculty and staff do not pay. "The
problem with this is that ASI
was subsidizing CSUSM faculty
and staff with student fees," said
Williams.
Williams indicated that
another reason for the increase in
tuition is due to the lack of state
funding for the ELC. "Funding
first became available in April of
last year. We were not granted the
funding, so we have applied again
this year," explained Williams.
"It comes down to who writes the
best grant proposal and who has
the best interview to determine
who is awarded the funding."
Without state funding, the
ELC has no choice but to raise
the tuition. "We are always
looking for grants or funding
so that we can achieve our ultimate goal of providing free childcare for CSUSM students," said
Williams.
According to Williams, the
ELC Ms recently applied for a
state grant that would subsidize
childcare fees for students based
on income and family size. A
response to this application is
expected by July first of this year.
She also indicated that the ELC is
currently in the process of applying for a second state grant that
would provide part day care services for students, faculty/staff,
and other community families.
"We will continue to apply until
we are funded."
Currently any student with a
child attending the ELC or another off campus childcare center
is eligible to apply for the ASI
Childcare Scholarship, which is
available during the Spring and
Fall semesters of each academic
year. "This scholarship provides
$200 to $900 dollars for qualifying students to use for childcare expenses," said Tammy
Rodriguez,
ASI
Childcare
Representative.
Despite the current and
proposed increases in tuition,
Williams commented, "We are
now serving more children and
families than we ever have."

Graduation Rules
»Article cont. from page 1
The graduation process does not
need to be as complicated as it
seems. Given the right resources
and knowing the right time to
apply, the graduation process can
be simple if all the necessary
steps are taken.
"Applying on time is the best
way to avoid precarious situations," said Andres Favela, Assistant Dean of Student Relations.
Often times, students apply after
the graduation deadline, which
delays the process of their graduation. Advisors can help students
that applied late for graduation,
but the paperwork is slowed down
in comparison with the paperwork of students that have applied
on time.
To help students better understand graduation and^ create a
smooth graduation process, here
are some tips from the College

Got Stress!
Students, Professors and Faculty Discuss Student Stress

With aching minds filled
with mathematical formulas, literary banter, dot com addresses,
deadlines, cell phones, midterms,
finals, and the occasional broken
heart, Cal State San Marcos students live very busy lives that may
be filled with stress. Whether
in school full-time, part-time or
working, students deal with stress
in different ways.
When asked how he advises
students on how to cope with
stress on campus and in their personal lives, Dr. Fernando Soriano,
Associate Professor of Human
Development, responded, "Time

Santana Alumna Reflects
"Young People Are Not Being Heard"
By: J. Ryan Sandahl
Pride Staff Writer
"When I first heard about the
shooting, I was pulling into the
university parking lot and
wondering if I was going to
make it to my class on time,"
said CSUSM student Darlene
Browning. "When I heard the
words 'Santana High School,'
I couldn't believe it. Memories
came flooding back to me of
my days there." Browning, an
alumna of Santana High, also has
a nephew, Tommy, who attends
the high school.
After hearing of the shooting,
Browning frantically called each
of her family members in East
County to find out if Tommy was
okay. She found out he was quite
shaken up. Tommy had been in
the bathroom where the killings
would take place moments later.
"He heard the shots echo,
turned around to see what had
happened and saw the security
guard getting shot," said
Browning. Tommy then fled the
scene and caught a ride home
with a friend. When he arrived
home, Tommy and his mother
went to Albertson's supermarket
to try and help kids find their
parents.
"I do not think he should
be tried as an adult," Browning
said, referring to Andy Williams,
the gunman. "From what I have
read, this is his first offense and I
think there is great hope for him,
but not if we try him out of the
juvenile court system."
When asked if she thought
that there should be tougher gun
laws, Browning replied, "I don't
think there should be harsher gun
laws. What has happened here
and elsewhere is a symptom of a
much deeper problem."
Browning went on to say that
she felt young people are not
being heard during adolescence,
a critical point in their lives.
"High schools are so crowded
today," she said. "How can a
teacher adequately attend to the
emotional, social and academic
needs of each student?"
Browning continued, "All I
know is, from personal experience, that if you have a troubled
teen, you are very aware of it but
many times do not know how to
get help for him or her. You feel
like a failure because our teens
are not coping with everyday life.
Seeking help outside of one's self
takes a lot of courage and humility. Knowing where to find that
help is sometimes perplexing."
Tragedy Prompts CSUSM Policy Revision
N ew System W ill Distinguish Between Response a nd Recovery
»Article contfrom page 1
the college prepared to?
Although the current crisis management policy has very specific protocol for
handling "critical incidents," the college
is revising its policies. While there may
be nothing wrong with the current policy,
Vice President of Student Affairs, Francine Martinez said, "We're broadening our
policy so it's across the board for everyone."
The mission statement of the current
policy reads : "The purpose of this policy is
to provide clear direction and consistency
in responding to a campus crisis directly
involving students." The revision will reorganize the team into primary and secondary teams; the primary team will deal with
initial response while the secondary team
will deal with recovery.
Martinez said the revision aims to provide consistency for faculty and staff as
well as students, and to "clearly distinguish between response and recovery."
Response steps will focus , on immediate
police action, sealing off the campus if
necessary and securing the safety of those
on campus. Recovery involves counseling,
any and all steps to help heal and, according to Martinez, "taking steps to bring the
community back to a sense of normalcy."
These steps would include what CAPS
Director David Blasband calls "debriefing
or critical incident debriefing," a process
of providing help and support for anyone
who needs it. The Employee Assistance
Program provides such services for faculty and staff. "We're trying to be more
sensitive to stress," Blasband said. "Students are stressed in a variety of ways and
there are different ways to act that out.
We're trying to deal with problems as they
develop, before they escalate."
After the incident at Santana, all
CSUSM students with a Santee zip code
were called, as a reminder that CAPS was
there and that any support or help they
needed was available.
Martinez said that Santana High School
called in over 200 licensed psychologists
for assistance after the shootings, and that
CSUSM would do the same. "We would
not think we could handle it ourselves, and
we would bring in as much help as was
needed."
Although the policy revision is not
based solely on the incident at Santana, it's
being examined in light of what CSUSM
can do to ensure the campus remains safe.
"The Santana shootings speak to the
increased use of violence to deal with
our frustration, how we express our rage,
depression and anxiety. It's becoming an
increasingly 'okay' thing to do this," said
Dean Jonathan Poullard. Blasband said that
Counseling and Psychological Services
aims to "recognize the signs (of stress,
depression and anxiety) and to address
them before anything happens. [We're]
increasing our focus on prevention as well
as intervention."
Martinez said she hopes the revised
policy will serve as an educational tool as
well as provide protocol for crisis management. "Campus-wide training will be
made available not only to faculty but students as well," she said.
The training will begin this summer
and will be offered at least once a semester. The revised policy will add the Associate Vice-President of Academic Affairs
to the primary response team and move
the positions of CAPS Director and Director of Facility Services to the secondary
recovery team, which may also include
Director of Student Health Services and
Director of Human Resources, and any
others on an "as needed" basis.
Students are encouraged to contact
members of Student Crisis Management
with any information on suspicious or
changed behavior in fellow students, and
to contact CAPS for any support, resources
or help they need.
Student Crisis Management, a team
developed specifically to prepare for and
deal with similar occurrences, includes
Francine Martinez, Vice-President for Student Affairs; University President, Alexander Gonzalez; University Chief of Police,
Tom Schultheis; Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard; Campus Public Information Officer, Rick Moore; Risk Management Coordinator, Linda Letter; Director
of Counseling and Psychological Services
(CAPS), David Blasband; and Director of
Facility Services, Tom Blair.
Disaster Workshop
Held

and supplies.
San Marcos Fire Department
Captain Brett Vanwey and
CSUSM Campus Police Chief
Tom Schultheis spoke about what
to do in the event of an emergency on campus. They emphasized that having a plan is the
most important asset to one's
survival in the event of a disaster.
Vanwey suggests making yourself
aware of your surroundings and to
know the locations of fire extinguishers and exits. Schultheis reit-
erated that it's always a good
idea to have an emergency kit.
Some essentials are food, water,
clothes, a radio and a flashlight.
Cathy Gremett, Clinical Aid
II with Student Health Services,
helped coordinate the event. "The
campus does have an emergency
plan in action," she said. "The
purpose of [the workshop] is student welfare." Free dessert and
prizes such as flashlights, sleeping bags and emergency kits were
handed out to attendees. The
event was sponsored by several
businesses. Plans for a workshop
dealing solely with on-campus
emergencies is in the works and
will be held this summer.

Perform
For St.
Paddys
Day
By: Melanie Addington and
Victoria Segall
Pride Editors
There is no better place to
celebrate St. Patrick's Day than a
Mexican restaurant. Three bands
performed at Tio Leo's on St.
Patrick's Day for a 21-and-up
crowd. The Creepy Creeps began
the night with its performance.
The four-member band dressed
in black from head to toe and
wore black and white face paint.
Their image and musical sound
may best be described as the
Munsters meet the MTV generation. As she headed towards
the dance floor, CSUSM student
Michelle happily shouted, "The
Creepy Creeps really make me
move, I can really dance to
this!"
The second act of the evening
was the Down's Family, with a
punk-rock approach appropriate
for the holiday. With its punk
rock meets Irish pub sound, the
music was much too loud for
the small venue, but the crowded
dance floor indicated that people
were having a good time.
The final performance of
the night was the Scotchgreens.

Mariscal spentthe second half
ofhis presentation showing videotaped footage of Chicano antiwar demonstrations. It is a little
known fact that 20,000-30,000
Chicano anti-war protesters demonstrated in 1970 at Laguna Park
in East Los Angeles, California.
The event ended in violence.
Ruben Salazar, a reporter for
the Los Angeles Times, was killed
in the demonstration when he was
struck by a tear gas projectile.
Mariscal said, "We now know that
the L.A. police department and
the FBI infiltrated the Chicano
anti-war movement" by disrupting the demonstrations.
The presentation ended with
the
viewing
of Chicano
Moratorium, a documentary
directed by Victor Milan. In this
film, David Sanchez, founder of
the "Brown Berets," addresses a
crowd of protesters. He tells them
that Chicanos died in Vietnam
at twice the rate of Caucasians.
"This is our land, not our government," shouted Sanchez, to a
crowd standing in the cold rain.
The video ends with a crowd of
people marching in the rain down
Whittier Boulevard in East Los
Angeles.
Mariscal, who served more
than ten months in Vietnam,
said that racial issues of thirty
years ago are still present today.
Mariscal also told the audience
how he believes that Chicanos are
under-represented in institutions
such as CSUSM and UCSD, but
over-represented in the Armed
Forces and prisons. He ended
his presentation by saying, " The
working class, all races, fought
disproportionately in the front
lines."
Slam Poet Steals Show
By: Darcy Walker
Pride Opinion Editor
Warmed by the sun and
cooled by an afternoon breeze,
a small audience gathered in the
Library Courtyard, Wednesday
March 14, for an open-mic poetry
reading. The reading was one
of a series of events celebrating
Women's Herstory Month, sponsored and promoted by ASI.
Waiting patiently for ASI
to set up, Sociology Professor
Sharon Elise, who hosted the
event, remained relaxed, telling
the audience of less than 20 men
and women that there would be
"a short pause for the cause."
After a 25-minute delay, Brad
Schmidt and Dean Manship of
ASI set up the PA equipment, and
the reading got underway.
Honee Folk, a student and
member of ASI, read first. Her
poem, "I've Been Robbed," was
one she wrote while in high
school. Although it was her first
public reading, Folk later said
that the event had a relaxed, "nopressure," feel. Folk said the only
pressure came from within: "Just
my own butterflies,"
The second poet was Jennifer
Geran, who Elise introduced as
co-host of San Diego Slam, a
team of Slam poets who compete nationally. Geran read three
poems in her first visit to the
microphone, including one about
the attractive and repulsive qualities of a Barbie doll, another
called "Eunice Mother Betty,"
and one dedicated to her grandmother, called "Gladys." The last
poem includes the lines, "When
the mopping dissatisfies you /
you beat us unmercifully / at Go
Fish and Crazy Eights."
Professor Elise then introduced Quincy Sultzbaugh, a
Women's Studies major and
CSUSM's first Ethnic Studies
minor. Sultzbaugh read a poem
called, "Why Did You?" about]
a girl molested by a family mem
ber. Full of images of anger and|
sadness, the poem ended on aj
hopeful, positive note.
After offering the floor to
any other readers, and getting
no takers, Professor Elise read
one of her own poems, "Ain't
No Love Like." She prefaced
it with, "it's a long piece, so I
hope that you can bear with me
on a little journey." Elise's reading used strong rhythm, call and
response, and singing to carry
the audience through cities and
towns, rivers and villages, where
"Black love" has "gone global."
With no more poets coming
forward, Jennifer Geran read
again, to the obvious delight of
the audience. She followed the
poem "Bizarro Laura Petry" with
the statement, "I am Very fascinated by the people I see
on TV, so I've written many
poems for them." Indeed, Geran's

poems examine arid attack several
aspects of culture and the media.
"Karen Carpenter at the Clinique
Counter Getting Ready for her
Date With Richard Nixon," was
another example of Geran's sharp
wit and talent.

lar performances and host openmike nights at the Rendezvous

W hat Is My Ethnicity?
By: Roland Arias Jr.
Pride Staff Writer
Recently I had a debate with one of my cousins, who
lives in Quezon City, in the Philippines. In our little
debate, my cousin and I discussed what truly constitutes
one's cultural identity. "You can't really be a true Filipino
unless you speak Tagalpg and immerse yourself in the.
lifestyle here. You can't understand what it is to be Filipino unless you live in the Philippines," my> cousin told
me.
^
.
But what determines one's cultural identity? Is it our
genetic sequences, arranged in the form of a double helix?
Is it the environment one is socialized into? Is it the continent that one lives on? Is it the language one speaks at
home?
For many members of emmigrated, second-generation families in the United States, asking yourself what
your ethnicity is can be a trying question. Because I was
bora and raised exclusively in the United States and only
speak English, I began to question whether or not I was
a "true" Filipino. Under my cousin's criteria, my claim to
Filipino heritage was almost non-existent.
When I was younger* and first considered this question, I felt like a part of my identity was missing because
I did not speak Tagalog Growing up, I would listen with
envy as my Tagalog-speaking friends would converse in
their native tongue with their parents, as if it was second
nature to them. When their parents asked me if I spoke
Tagalog, I would slowly shake my head no. With a look of
surprise and astonishment at a Filipino boy who did not
know how to speak Tagalog, some would roll their eyes as
if I were totally oblivious to Filipino culture. There were
other times when I would listen to my grandma singing
in Tagalog and could only listen to the familiar sounding
words, not knowing their full meaning or context. Everyone else knew their "native" dialect, why couldn't I?
rather than Filipino, I believe that the values, customs,
and traditions that I practice determine my ethnicity, not
just the language I speak and where I live. One's cultural
identity should not be measured by what characteristics
are missing, but by the characteristics a person values and
cherishes. Granted, I will never understand what it is like
to live in the Philippines, but I carry the values* and customs of Filipino culture that my parents have instilled in
me and I plan to carry them on to my children as well.
At the cost (in opportunity) of not being bilingual, my
parents made the decision to communicate with me exclusively in English. I love my parents for always having my
best interests in mind and I have no regrets that they did
not teach me Tagalog, or any of the many dialects that are
spoken in the Philippines when I was younger. I have realized that not speaking Tagalog did not make me less Filipino than any other person of Filipino decent.
Quezon City? The Philippines is one of the most beautiful
places in the World, but I would never feel truly at home
there. Do I consider myself a "true" Filipino? My identity is composed of many components, being Filipino will
always be one of them.
I feel fortunate that I have been raised in such a
diverse environment where I can pride myself in being
part of a collective but at the same time be recognized for

Pride Staff Writer
How different is the Dome
from a high school cafeteria?
Well, to be honest, not at all.
The fact is, the university needs
to bring more variety of food to
campus. I am tired of eating
the same plates every week. I am
frustrated by the fact that* they
cannot even cook a quesadilla
with white cheese. How hard
can that be? So what if I am
picky—I am paying for it.
For a student who has been
here a few years and who unfortunately has no time to go down
to San Marcos Boulevard to get
some real food, the Dome is the
only alternative, and a nightmare
at times. My appetite goes away
because I am so tired of the
routine food that is offered at the
Dome. If other restaurants are
not served as food at CSUSM,
the profits would be tremendously higher than what the Dome
makes right now. Students like
me eat because they have to, but
not necessarily because we enjoy
it.
Lunch at the Dome reminds
me of my elementary and high
school years—just when I thought
I was out of them. The convenience store is as bad as the
Dome. My advice to all of you
when buying at the convenience
store is to look at the expiration
date, and for anything weird,
before your appetite gets scared
away. And then you wonder why
we cannot eat healthy! At this
campus there is nothing healthy.
Finally, plan on bringing your
own chair and table if you want
to eat at the Dome.
No. I don't have enough
time to put my all into it
and I'm not interested in
politics.
No. I don't think I have
very much time in my
schedule. Time is pretty
much the only reason.
I would have to say no
because it seems very time
consuming. I don't think I
could give a 100% to do a
good enough job.

Pride Staff Writer
Many students come to college with the expectation of being
treated as an adult. Unfortunately
many professors do not treat their
students as such. I find it yery
frustrating to walk into a class and
have the first ten minutes wasted
on a professor taking attendance.
Does it really matter whether or
not we show up to class? It seems
to me that the only reason that
a professor would think it necessary to take roll is because he/she
has experienced a lack of students
attending the class.
Perhaps students are not
attending class because their professor is boring, and they would
rather stay t ome and enjoy the
warmth and comfort of their own
bed instead of trying to make
themselves comfortable while
being lulled to sleep by their professor droning on in a monotone
voice.
Maybe the professor has a
complex about his/her teaching
skills, resulting in them forcing
you to come and pretend to be a
captive audience. I am not exactly
sure. I do know that it seems like
the really boring professors are
the only ones that do take attendance.
Professors that have a passion for the topic that they are
teaching, whose class is enjoyable
because they make learning interesting and fun, do not take roll.
Maybe it is because the professor
has been around longer and has
realized how to make something
unappealing seem appealing and
fun. Maybe it is because they
are secure in their ability to
teach, or maybe they have realized that after thirteen years of
being forced to go to class, they
feel that we are old enough and
mature enough to make a decision for ourselves and suffer the
consequences of our actions. I am
not saying that we should all continually ditch class. We all know
that if we don't go to class there
is a bigger chance for failure or
unsatisfactory grades.
What I am saying is that
maybe the professors at CSUSM
need to recognize that we are all
adults and that as adults we make
choices. Some of these choices
may not be what the professor
would consider to be the best
choice, but at least we would be
given the opportunity to decide
for ourselves and not have it dutifully called to everyone's attention during roll call.

Opening the Doors to Higher
Stress Relief Provided
»Article conU from pg 3
"parking and writing papers." v
Business major Brigette Collins
works in the campus bookstore parttime, participates in the "Senior Experience" as part of her business program, has two children and takes 15
units. As a working mother and student, she says that she doesn't have
much time for anything else. When
asked how she counteracts the many
stressors that are in her life she said, "I
shop." As a senior, Collins had some
advice for new students, "Get school
done with before you have a family
and get support from family members
if you see yourself too stressed."
Max Klinock, a retired CSUSM
student says that his biggest stressors
are his Calculus class, a programming
class and parking at CSUSM. To relax
and take a break from these stressors
he goes to the beach, to church and
teaches Sunday school.
Klinock also advises that students
"too stressed to cope should see the
counselors that the school provides."
According to the experts, all of
these are great practices in reducing
stress of the working and full-time
student. Campus director of CSUSM's
Counseling and Psychological Services
(CAPS), Dr. David Blasband, says
that in order to cope with these hectic
times in a student's life, s/he should
"learn time management skills" and
"be able to realize what you can handle." Blasband also encourages students to get to the bottom of "what is
stressing them."
When asked what types of relaxation methods ease the nerves of the
stressed out student, Blasband noted
that it's important to "do the things
you like, such as walking. Get at least
a half an hour of aerobic exercise." He
also said that it's very helpful to "get
away from things for awhile." However, if these methods do not work
and the person still has problems with
overwhelming stress, Blasband suggests s/he get support from family,
friends, or CSUSM's Counseling and
Psychological Services.

is covered." Jauregui said he
understood this to mean that if
he needed to take time off from
school, he would be accommodated. He also emphasized how
impressed he was that the administrators were so courteous to
them. However, Jauregui thought
that he would b e fine, so he
returned t o classes shortly after
the incident.
The Pressure Builds
In the beginning of November, Jauregui decided to take
President Gonzalez up on his
offer because he said he "was
shaking, breaking out in sweats"
and could not go any further.
Jauregui claims he went to see
Kuchler, who sent him to Martinez, who sent him to, at the time
of the events, Assistant Dean of
Students Mary Wordell to take
incompletes in his classes.
Jauregui emphasized that
Wordell was "very nice, said
how can she help, and was very
nurturing." When he explained
his situation and mentioned that
President Gonzalez had said it
would be taken care of, Jauregui
claims that Wordell said, "That's
not policy." When Jauregui
responded that the withdrawal
policy was in the 1998-99
CSUSM
General
Catalog,
Wordell told him to speak to his
professors to get permission to
take incompletes.
Two of Jauregui's professors
agreed to give him incompletes.
Sociology professor, John Schneider,
did not. According to Jauregui,
Wordell told him that if all the
teachers would not agree, he
would be unable to take any
incompletes for that semester.
According to the General Catalog for 2000-01, an incomplete
grade "signifies that a portion
of required coursework has not
been completed and evaluated in
the prescribed time period due
to unforeseen, but fully justified
reasons and that there is still a
possibility of earning credit. It is
the responsibility of the student
to bring pertinent information to
the instructor and to reach agreement on the means by which the
remaining course requirements
will be satisfied." The catalog
does not state that all teaphers
must agree.
Within a week of his meeting
with Wordell, Jauregui went back
to speak with his professors. Professor Schneider again refused to
give him any incompletes.
During the same week, his
girlfriend had spinal surgery in
order to f use her spine so she
could walk again. "I was a wreck,
crying, praying every day in my
non-religious way to let the poor
girl walk." Jauregui said that he
was so upset over the events
that he gave in and told Wordell
he would take all withdrawals
instead of incompletes on his
transcript. "I didn't have energy

said Segoria.
Segoria explained that
some of the funding for the
sidewalks came from the
Minor Capital Improvement
budget. Twenty to twenty-five percent of this budget serves to fund greater
accessibility in accordance
with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA).
Some of that ADA funding
was used for the construction of the sidewalks.
The
Minor

Improvement budget and
ADA funding also financed
the power doors on campus. Segoria said that these
accessibility improvements
benefit everyone on campus. "Look who i^ses the

Segoria.

handrails and flat regions

"It was ideally supposed

of how wet it has been,

H offman had reportedly

O fficer A gundez' presence
on campus was a result of the
high school's increased security
following the Santana incident.
Police officials report that officers

campuses indefinitely. Although
Agundez is considered to b e a hero
by many students, parents and
school officials, he is still under

with t he policy for an o fficer's

T hursday's shootings were

Santana High School shootings.
Despite greater awareness and
preparedness, many individuals
c an't help feeling more exposed.
" I feel even more vulnerable t his

again, and I 'm sure the students
do, too," said Rich Alderson,
principal at Rancho Buena Vista

G ranite Hills High School
protected its students by using its
newly implemented "lock-down"
program, created a fter t he recent
shootings at Santana High School.
The "lock-down" requires that
students b e locked in classrooms
in case of a violent incident at
the school until a police force
evaluates that the campus is safe.
N orth county high schools
similarly responded to Thursday's
shootings by heightening security
on their campuses to prevent
any immediate "copycat" shootings. Various schools, including
elementary, middle and high
schools, closed t emporarily or
suspended students for m aking
violent threats towards their campus.
Additionally, area school districts are intensifying their violence prevention programs. AH

could include metal detectors, a

San Diego County District
Attorney Paul P fingst said at a
news conference Friday that "any

high school in San Diego County
has adopted this "zero-tolerance"
policy.
However not everyone agrees
these measures are the answer.

" I j ust t hink we need t o b e more

that events like these "might have

Latest Update
In a meeting on March 15,
2001, Jauregui asked Vice
President of Student Affairs,
Francine Martinez, for copies of
any documentation regarding his
issue. Martinez sent him a letter
denying his request for paperwork on March 21,2001. Jauregui
states that the letter includes a
statement saying "that Gonzalez
claims to have never visited the
hospital, but is aware that others
have."
Jauregui notes that he "has
several witnesses to his visitation. They can and will testify
that he [Gonzalez] on three occasions made the same comments."
Patty Bailey stayed by her daughter's side the entire time she was
in the hospital and remembers
the day President Gonzalez and
others visited. "I remember he
visited with three ladies right
before my daughter was going
into surgery," said Bailey, "They
were supportive and felt really
bad about everything that had
happened. They offered to help
us with anything that we needed."
President Gonzalez was unavailable to be reached for comment. >
At the meeting between
Martinez arid Jauregui on March
15, Martinez advised Jauregui to
speak with Cherine Heckman of
Enrollment Services. According
to Jauregui, nothing was resolved
at- the March 21meeting with
Heckman, but she promised in
writing that she would perform
"an investigation of classes and
contact [Jauregui] with the information [she] gathers." Heckman
will then provide him with the
options available to him.
As of March 27, Jauregui is
still waiting to find out what
will happen with his class credits. Jauregui is no longer taking
classes at Cal State San Marcos
but continues to work on his case
with the Department of Education
and hopes to find a resolution.

lives.
The emphasis of Spearling's
presentation was tolerance. Rather
than being close minded to people
that have different sexual preferences than oneself, she told the
audience to become more aware
of how hurtful a person's words,
actions and attitudes can be, and
how much of an impact they can
have on someone's life.
Spearling also touched on
the prejudices that people have,
not only with LGBTQs, but also
with sorority women, fraternity
men and other minority groups.
Spearling encouraged the listeners
to overcome their fears, attempt
to accept people for who they are,
look past their prejudices, and to
think before they speak.
"We need to be aware of
others around us, and celebrate
their differences," said Spearling.
The Pride Alliance was a
ctfftipus club for gays and lesbians, but the club dissipated due to
a lack of participation. "It is sad

i nvited t o t he event held at
CSUSM. T his conference is
designed to help students f rom

w ith t he transition t o four-year
institutions.
" This conference gives me
a n o pportunity to meet t he p eople w ho can help me through
t he next t wo or t hree y ears,"
said one student from Cuyamaca
Community College. She hopes
t o t ransfer into a four-year college in Fall of 2001. W hen asked
what she thought about CSUSM
she replied, " The campus is pretty and it is nice to see all the
construction, it means [the campus] is growing."
The
all-day
conference
included- a keynote address by
Sandra McBrayer. Ninety-four
potential students crammed into
r oom 102 of Academic Hall
t o hear McBrayer speak about
the importance of education.
McBrayer holds the position as
the Executive Director of the
Children's Initiative of San Diego
and was the 1994 National
Teacher of the Year. Speaking for
the second year at this event, she
said her message was directed to
those individuals who have the
intention to succeed in education
as well as in their f uture. She
stressed the importance of using
all t he resources necessary to
graduate.
Presentations f rom Student
Support Services and Academic
Advising also demonstrated t o
the visiting students how CSUSM
could help them accomplish their
goals of receiving their degrees.
Lorena Meza, chairperson of
the event and also the Associate
Director of the Educational
Achievement and Retention Services, developed the conference
in 1998. "We saw there was a student need in the'transition process
and so we developed the Building Bridge Partnership with local
community colleges, and now it
has j ust taken o ff," said Meza.
The first year of the conference, fifty-seven students participated; the following year seventy-five students, and this year

The best thing about " The

with humor, light romance and
violence, h as potential. The f ilm
stars Brad Pitt (Jerry Welbach)
and Julia Roberts (Samantha
Barzel).
J erry's mob boss sends h im
down t o Mexico, where he must
f ind a g un called "The Mexican."
Meanwhile,
h is
g irlfriend,
Samantha, ends their relationship
because of h is mob ties.
On her way to Las Vegas,
however, mobster Leroy (played
by James Galdofini) takes
Samantha hostage in order t o
scare J erry into r eturning the
pistol. W hile t rying t o r eturn
over the border, Jerry r uns into
trouble, possibly caused by the
curse that is believed to travel
with t he g un. The story j umps
back and f orth f rom Las Vegas t o
Mexico, and to the past and the
present, all at the expense of the
viewer's understanding.
"The Mexican" h as several
major
disappointments.
Stereotypes plague the dialogue,
such as the idiot traveler who
doesn't speak a word of Spanish.
The high mortiality rate f rom all
the g unfire was over-kill, and the
audience could care less about
Jerry because of the weak character development in this f ilm.
The movie had its moments, such
as the Vegas scenes and the
relationship between Samantha
and Leroy, but screenwriter J.H.
Wyman should f ind himself a
better editor.
The movie is shot with lots
of close-ups and c areful attention
to background images. Director
Gore Verbinski should b e proud
of the casting; a fter all, Roberts
and Pitt were cute, and f or half
of the audience that was what

about.

While reflecting on past performances, Tanneberger commented that p erforming in f ront

that he had never planned for his

Liquid American Culture
hopes for "listeners to steer away
f rom popular music." So far, the
local band has h a4 receptive audiences, playing at venues such as
the Bob Marley Festival, Blind

A group of seven musicians,
Liquid American Culture h as
been playing together since last
April.
"Eclectic" is the t erm that the
b and's d rummer, CSUSM stu-
dent Joe Vento, uses to describe
their music.
Vento explained that their
sources of musical i nfluences
include "electronic, j azz, f unk,
Latin, p unk rock and hip-hop."
Liquid American C ulture certainly has traces of these genres
on the f ifteen tracks in its new
CD, In a Life aLive.
The track, "Blind," r eflects
the b and's disdain for A merican
culture. The song includes the lyrics, "And I was lost in w ants and

stressed in this city l ife f renzy."
This lyrical style, which can b e
described as f ree f orm, is reminiscent of the b eatnik p oetry of
the 1960s,
Several i nstruments
are
played, such as the keyboards,
d rums, saxophone, upright b ass
and f retless b ass, o ften accompanied b y spoken words. The
saxophone and slow d rumming
give the songs a laid-back, surreal feel.
I f ound t he songs relaxing
and m eaningful. "Thursday," one
of my f avorite songs, is poignant
and provocative. With strong j azz
appeal, t he keyboard notes on the
track sound like a m isty xainfall.
I also liked the track "Restless,"
which f eatures lyrics of a tortured
soul, " I've b een tossing, turning,
g rinding m y t eeth, I c an't get no
sleep, I c an't let you go."

Student Discovers the Many Uses of the Library
By DI A NNE H IRNING
for The Pride
A s a literature and writing
student, my passion h as always
been books. My view of the library
system was limited; I simply
found the books I needed a nd
checked them out f rom the librarian behind the desk. I assumed
that the sole j ob f unction of the
librarian was to check books in
and out of the library all day.
A fter visiting with Marion Reid,
the Dean of the CSUSM Library,
I was astounded at my own
naivete.
According to Reid, libraries
are no longer limited to providing
books, now they are "information
services." The library collection
and the delivery of those collections become information science
because of t he different formats
involved. Information for one title
may have multiple formats such
as book, audiotape, computer data
or video.
The three most significant
issues related to information services are the budget allotment
between technology and books,
information literacy among chil-
xl-v
dren and adults, and providing to seek i nformation.

"I think it's good to sit down with someone before you turn in your paper and not
just get it back with marks on it," says
David Sahimi after his first tutoring session
at the CSUSM Writing Center. "The tut6r
made me realize different aspects of sentence structure, passive constructions and
how to improve the style of my writing
during the revision process. I thought my
session was very helpful."
The Writing Center, which opened February 19 for this spring semester, supports
the campus-wide writing requirement. Many
students have been making appointments at
the center for 30-minute sessions to get help
for their writing projects.
A friend had advised Biology major Natalie Voehl to visit the Writing Center. "I had
a wonderful experience. I needed someone
else to look at my writing and point things
put," says Voehl. "It's nice to have another
set of eyes look at my paper. I am not an
English major and the grammar check on
my computer can only do so much. The tutor
pointed out reyision tricks that I know will
strengthen my paper and improve the final
grade. I will be back "
The tutors at the Writing Center are
adept at helping students who may not know
where to begin with their writing projects.
Rachel Acfalle says that, "The tutors are
very helpful during the brainstorming phase.
They helped me with the analysis of the
theme for my assignment. I think the most

not alone during the writing process. And
it's good to have my writing looked at by
someone who is not my instructor,"
- , The Writing Center also encourages stu-
dents whose primary language is not English to make appointments. Oliva Chavez, an
ESL (English as a Second Language) student working on a sociology paper at the
center says, "If there were no writing center
I might be failing. The tutor helped to revise
my paper. He helped me with vocabulary,
analysis, grammar and syntax. I couldn't do
it by myself. The tutors are friendly and
helpful. They make me feel welcome. My
visits to the Writing Center have been very
positive and the tutors help me become a
better writer, and that's the basic thing. I
have to come more often."
The tutors can also help students with
writer's block. Robyn Tucknott, a GEW student and steady visitor to the Writing Center,
says she had w riters block before she came
to the writing center. Now she says that
has changed. "It's good and relieves writer's block. I got to bounce ideas with my
tutor and I don't feel like I'm alone iri the
writing process," said Tucknott. She adds,
"Sometimes, it feels like a drag to go to the
appointment, but after the tutoring session,
you realize you got a lot done. The tutor
helped me expand my own thoughts about
the assignment and also helped me with the
revision process—helped me move things
around to strengthen my paper. The tutors
know the ins and outs of the revision process
and know how to help you get started."
Angela LuMaye, a GEW student, says
that the variety of instruction provided by
the tutors is important. "The tutors are helpful. Every tutor I've had so far has helped me
in different ways than the other tutors I've
seen. I find my tutoring sessions at the Writing Center very helpful because there are a
lot of little questions I have about my writing and the tutors help answer those questions. It has been a really helpful experience."

assistant teacher for creative writing and technical writing at UCSD, and
she taught several English

She continues to direct the
Writing Center and is also
director for the General

Runners Face a Variety of
Challenges O ff the Field
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride S taff Writer
Most Saturdays, Cal State
San Marcos athletes leave early
in t he m orning and come back
late at night, a fter competing in
long, intensive races. T he track
and field t eam practices every
day, Monday t hru Thursday at
3 p.m. and Friday at 12:30 p.m.
Saturdays a re race days a na Sundays they have recovery,runs at
their own times. In addition to
r unning and attending school to
become f uture sports broadcasters, teachers and coaches, many
of these student-athletes work.
However these are the sacrifices that these athletes must
m ake everyday. One of the many
challenges they deal with is the
shortage of facilities on campus.
"We have t o change in Craven
and people look at u s as if w e're
weird," said sophomore Anthony
Blacksher.
"We have t o u se it as a locker
room, since i t's closer t o the
t rack," added sophomore Vanta
Morrow, "It m akes those who see
u s u ncomfortable and we also
feel uncomfortable."
A possible solution t o the
lack of athletic facilities on
campus is t he Clarke Field
House scheduled f or completion
in 2004. Although most of these
(Top) Leslie Akers and Coach Keating
(Right) Student Running (Pride Photos/Victoria Segall)
athletes will graduate before that
time, Assistant Track Coach Wes
Williams Jr. said, " The Clark
Field House will be a result of
the success of the kids we have
here."
According to Head Coach
Steve Scott, "One of the problems we face when we travel
long distances is transportation.
Although some athletes can
drive themselves, when we t ry t o
f eed fifty athletes in the school
vans we j ust c an't, there are
not enough. There is a big risk
factor, since sometimes we have
to rent a b us or find other ways to
get there. Overall, we invest a lot
of money in transportation."
Aside from the challenges
the track and field teams must
overcome, Coach Scott said,
"These challenges do not interfere with our eagerness to go out
there and win."
Although the athletics program is young and challenging,
some of the r unners found this
beneficial. "It is nice t o b e p art
of this team because coaches
pay more attention to athletes.
Since CSUSM has a small team
compared to other schools, there
is more interaction among t he
athletes and coaches, which is
always good f or the athletes,"

By TIM WISE
I can think of no other way
to say this, so here goes: white
people need to pull our heads out
of our collective ass.
Two more white children are
dead and thirteen are injured,
and another "nice" community is
scratching its blonde head, utterly perplexed at how a school
shooting the likes of the one
yesterday in Santee, California
could happen. A fter all, as the
Mayor of the town said in an
interview with CNN: "We're a
solid town, a good town, with
good kids, a good church-going
town an Ail-American town."
Yeah, well maybe that's the problem.
I said this a fter Columbine
and no one listened so I 'll say
it again: white people live in an
utter state of self-delusion. We
think danger is black, brown and
poor, and if we can j ust move
f ar enough away f rom "those
people" in the cities w e'll b e
safe. If w e can just f ind an "AllAmerican" town, life will b e better, because "things like t his j ust
doia't happen here."
Well bullshit on that. In case
you hadn't noticed, "here" is
about the only place these kinds
of things d o happen. Oh sure,
there is plenty of violende in
urban communities and schools.
But mass murder; wholesale
slaughter; take-a-gun-and-seehow-many-you can-kill kinda
plishments, but they weren't
uncommon. Unions have been
started throughout history^ and
we don't make a big deal about it.
We don't celebrate Jimmy H offa
day, so what's so important about
Chavez that we would place him
above Washington and Lincoln?
The difference with Chavez
is his ethnicity. Because he was
Hispanic many have raised him
up to the status of a saint. He
is an icon* portrayed as a strong,
peace-loving man. Try questioning this and you're liable to start a
riot.
In case you haven't noticed,
he seems to be the patron saint
of our small school. It's sacrilegious to speak ill of him here,
and his granddaughter almost
received a scholarship based on
who her grandfather was. His
bronzed image adorns our campus, students are staging a candlelight vigil on Wednesday, and
some of our teachers have, put
together a "lesson plan" t o teach
us about h is life. Perhaps CSUSM
should be changed to CSCC - Cal
State Cesar Chavez.
It's sad, and patronizing even,
that we base greatness on ethnicity. If Chavez had been a white
union leader we wouldn't bat an
eyelash at him. But because he
was Hispanic and he did something many others have done
before, we celebrate him. The bar
of greatness should be set at the
same height for everyone - white,
black or Hispanic.
This kind of politically correct holiday making also cheap-
ens the greatness of past leaders.
What does it mean when an average accomplishment is put on the
same scale as something great?
Or when the great accomplishment isn't included at all?
Consider that we celebrate
Martin Luther King, Jrf every
January. King was a great man.
We don't celebrate him because
he was black, but because he
changed our society and the way
we view ourselves. He did something beyond average - something that was never done before
- and he changed the country.
That is evidenced by how many
people in this nation are able
to quote him, and remember his
leadership. He is a national hero.
You can't say the same for
Chavez - he shrinks in the shadow of King. Ask people living in
Minnesota what they know about
Cesar Chavez and the answer
will be nothing. Kermit the Frog
has made more of an impact on
their lives.
Of course, Chavez is a hero
to the California f arming community, and if our state wants
to have a holiday in his honor,
f ine. But it's a stretch to put his
contribution over Washington's
and Lincoln's, and it's a disgrace
that we don't mark these men
when such hoopla is made of
Chavez.
If we are going to celebrate
Chavez, and have h is image plastered everywhere, then we should
do the same for the truly great
Americans like Washington and
Lincoln. It would do us well to celebrate Washington and Lincoln,
to realize their impact on the
world, and their contribution t o
our way of life. A fter all, without
their efforts Chavez would not
have enjoyed the freedom to start
his union and stand for California
f arm workers.
School Shootings and W hite Denial
craziness seems made for those
safe places: the white suburbs or
rural communities.
And yet once again, we hear
the FBI insist there is no "profile" of a school shooter. Come
again? White boy a fter white boy
a fter white boy, with very few
exceptions to that rule (and none
in the mass shooting category),
decides to use their classmates
for target practice, and yet there
is no profile? Imagine if all these
killers had been black: would
we still hesitate to put a racial face
on the perpetrators? Doubtful.
Indeed, if any black child
in America—especially in the
mostly white suburbs of Littleton,
or Santee—were to openly discuss their plans to murder fellow
students, as happened both at
Columbine and now Santana
High, you can bet your ass that
somebody would have turned
them in, and the cops would have
beat a path t o their doorstep.
But when whites discuss their
murderous intentions, our stereotypes of what danger looks
like cause us t o ignore it—they're
j ust " talking" and won't really do
anything. How many kids have
to die before we rethink that nonsense? How many dazed and confused parents, mayors and sheriffs do we have to listen to,
describing how "normal" and safe
their community is, and how they
j ust can't understand what went
wrong?
I 'll tell you what went wrong
and it's not TV, rap music, video
games or a lack of prayer in
school. What went wrong is
that white Americans decided
t o ignore dysfunction and violence when it only affected other
communities, and thereby blinded themselves to the inevitable
creeping of chaos which never
remains isolated too long. What
affects the urban "ghetto" today
will be coming to a Wal-Mart near
you tomorrow, and unless you
address the emptiness, pain, isolation and lack of hope felt by
children of color and the poor,
then don't be shocked when the
support systems aren't there for
your kids either.
What went wrong is that we
allowed ourselves to be lulled
into a false sense of security by
media representations of crime
and violence that portray both
as the province of those who
are anything but white like us.
We ignore the warning signs,
because in our minds the warning signs don't live in our neigh-
borhood, but across town, in that
place where we lock our car
doors on the rare occasion we
have t o drive there. That false
sense of security—the result of
racist and classist stereotypes—
then gets people killed. And still
we act amazed.
But listen up my fellow white
Americans: your children are no
better, no nicer, no more moral,
no more decent than anyone

�San Marcos Experience Upheld
Kent Hess for The Pride
What is the San Marcos
Experience? A quick read through
the mission statement found on
the CSUSM website reveals that
the creation of an academic community dedicated to excellence is
a lofty goal. A goal that easily
could be dismissed as a cliche,
were it not for the combined effort
of people united in vision.
As a transfer student I viewed
the university's state of the art,
NCAA certified track and soccer
field, and its price tag of 1.6 million, as superfluous spending that
ought to have gone toward the
construction of the new library. It
was a sentiment, I might add, that
is shared by many of my classmates. I remember that during
student orientation the student
L representative (mis)informed us
that the reason we didn't have a
library was due to a referendum.
According to him, the student
body voted to push the construction of the track ahead of
the library. As a fledgling report-
er who understands that everyone loves a scandal, it was with
this unsubstantiated claim that
I decided to investigate into
the apparent misappropriation of
funds needed for the fulfillment
of my San Marcos Experience.
A fter interviewing several
people about
the track vs.
library situation, I quickly
(and
humbly) realized
two
things: (1)
there
has
never been a
c o n f 1 i c tf
between the two building projects, (2) in no way has the
CSUSM mission statement been
betrayed by apathetic administrators. The fact of the matter is
that the track and the new library
are essential (i.e. mind and body)
components of the San Marcos
Experience. Though it is easy to
see how the two can be confused
and pitted against each other in
a battle of priorities, the two are
linked only in the holistic sense.
The track/sports program was

(the most addictive drug on the
streets) than there are black students who smoke cigarettes.
What's more, white youth
ages 12-17 are more likely to
sell drugs: 34% more likely, in
fact than their black counterparts.
And it is white youth who are
twice as likely to binge drink,
and nearly twice as likely as
blacks to drive drunk. And white
males are twice as likely to bring
a weapon to school as are black
males.
And yet I would bet a valued
body part that there aren't 100
white
people
in
Santee,
California, or most any other
"nice" community who have ever
heard a single one of the statistics above. Even though they
were collected by government
agencies using these folks' tax
money for the purpose. Because
the media doesn't report on white
dysfunction.
A few years ago, U.S. News
ran a story entitled: "A Shocking
Look at Blacks and Crime." Yet
never have they or any other news
outlet discussed the "shocking"
whiteness of these shoot-em-ups.
Indeed, every time m^dia commentators discuss the similarities
in these crimes they mention that
the shooters were boys, they were
loners, they got picked on, but
never do they seem to notice
a certain highly visible melanin
deficiency. Color-blind, I guess.
White-blind i s more like it,
as I figure these folks would spot
color mighty damn quick were
some of it to stroll into their
community. Santee's whiteness
is so taken for granted by its
residents that the Mayor, in that
CNN interview, thought nothing
of saying on the one hand that
the town was 82 percent white,
but on the other hand that "this is
America." Well that isn't
America, ; and it especially isn't
California, where whites are only
half of the population. This is
a town that is removed from
America, and yet its Mayor thinks
they are the normal ones—-so
much so that when asked about
racial diversity, he replied that
there weren't many of different
"ethni-tis-tities." Not a word. Not
even close.
I'd like to think that after this
one, people would wake up. Take
note. Rethink their stereotypes of
who the dangerous ones are. But
deep down, I know better. The
folks hitting the snooze button
on this none-too-subtle alarm are
my own people, after all, and
I know their blindness like the
back of my hand.

Letter to the Editors
The library, on the other
hand, has run a rockier course.
The first obstacle came in 1992
when a bond measure was sent
out to the California voters concerning the construction of future
projects. The new library (worth
$49 million) was just one of
m any projects projposed in the measure. It unfortunately lacked voter support, and thus failed.
In 1994 it met with
the same disappointment.
Since then the
temporary library in
Craven hall has
taken many steps including the
purchasing of online journals and
academic publications in order to
meet the growing need of students
and faculty. During these years
the administration was incessant
in their lobbying for the new
library despite comments from
the Chancellor and legislative
offices negating the need for a
library in its traditional sense.
collectively was, student involvement was needed to achieve the
needed goal. Hence, a vote was
put before the students concerning the track, however it had
nothing to do with the library.
The referendum (circa 1998),
which passed with an overwhelming majority, was to increase student fees in order to support the
CSUSM sports program.
funnels down from the corners
to the narrowness of the sidewalk. It reminds me of how
fences narrow to a walkway
and plank for loading cattle
into trucks to ship them off to
slaughter. This serves as an
excellent reminder of the fact
that CSUSM students are mindless sheep in need of the protection of CSUSM's benevolent
administrators.
Thank you,
David Ludwig
Such idealistic remarks concerning "the library of the future" (or
in other words, everything being
available online) were quickly
dismissed by the CSUSM administration as unacceptable.
Thanks to their tenacity, and
a generous donation of two million dollars by Keith and Jean
Kellog, the vision of a functional
library to compliment the San
Marcos Experience was never
lost. 1998 brought the passing
of a bond measure that provided
monies for the construction of the
library and other projects on this
and other campuses, although the
money wasn't turned over until
the year 2000. The construction
of the library is set to break
ground right after graduation this
spring and will be completed in
2003.
Though I may never step
foot in the building and benefit
from its incredible technological
design, I find consolation in
knowing that at no point were my
educational expectations higher
than those of the administration.

. . . Nah, forget it. It's much easier my way. I am right - you are

Often we are so blinded by
our own values, morals, and
social perspective that we fail to
see another's point of view clearly. More importantly, we may
become so wrapped up in our
cause that we often fail to see
where we truly stand. We can
become so devoted to a cause

that we have become extreme
in our thinking. We slowly turn
into "Extremist Bastards" without knowing about it.
For many years, I failed
to see^things clearly because I
"knew" that "I was right." Only
after carefully considering my
perspective did I truly understand that I was building walls
instead of bridges. It is tempting
to return to that line of thinking,

to see things from only one
angle. I now ask you to carefully

C SUSM M ember s Son
Killed in Tragic Accident
By: Marcy Rivera
Pride Staff Writer
"That was the first funeral
I've been to in my entire life," said
Sally-Jo Divis, a CSUSM Chemistry Technician, speaking of her
son, Christopher Divis. On the
night of Feb. 23, her son, along
with three other pedestrians, was
killed after being run down by
an 18-year-old male suspected of
driving under the influence.
Divis, a sophomore at UCSB
and a graduate of Rancho Buena
Vista High School, was 20 years
old. Though his life may have
been brief, he affected people in a
way that will not be forgotten.
"I had him in my class for all
four years," said Jim Livingston,
a German teacher at RBVHS.
Livingston recalled Divis as "a
very good student in class...a
questioner."
Livingston added, "It breaks
your heart. You always think that
your students will outlive you
and you never think of the other
possibility."
Many relatives, long-time
friends, acquaintances and teachers attended a memorial service
for Divis, Tield at the Oceanside
Harbor on Friday, March 2. The
mood was somber, with tears and
laughter, as people shared their
favorite memories of Divis.
Pictures, artwork and flowers adorned the beach memorial
while a harpist played and sang
to the crowd. Friends and family
thanked the crowd for all
of their support and for
cherishing Divis' memory.
The three other victims were Nicholas Shaw
Bourdakis, 20, UCSB
student; Ruth Dasha
Golda Levy, 20, a Santa
Barbara City College student; and Elie Israel, 27,
of San Francisco.

Festival String Q uartet Performs Year 'Round Operations
for Woman's Herstory M onth Committee Addresses
Student Questions
By: Amy Bolaski
Pride Staff Writer -
Thursday's performance by
an all-female, San Diego-based
string quartet marked the first
of several events celebrating
Women's Herstory Month at Cal
State San Marcos. The Festival
String Quartet's program is part
of the "Classical Women's
Series," sponsored by the Spring
Arts & Lecture Series.
Although the concert was
planned in part to celebrate women's achievements, University
Arts & Lecture Coordinator
Bonnie Biggs said, "We make a
point of featuring women artists
and scholars all year long, not
just in March. Our student body
is between 65 and 70 percent
female, and we have one of the
most diverse faculty gender-wise
in the CSU system."
Biggs mentioned there had
been numerous requests to have
a quartet perform at Cal State
San Marcos, and she was very
pleased to host the concert.
The Festival String Quartet's
two-hour performance featured
pieces from the Romantic and
Classical periods, including quartets by Joseph Haydn, Dmitri
Shostakovich and W.A. Mozart.
Viola player Mary Gerard introduced each piece to the audience,
and the quartet demonstrated different .notes and specific combinations distinctive to each composer. She also shared personal
anecdotes about the composers
and spoke about the social and
political issues that influenced
the music composed during the
Classical and Romantic Eras.

said, "He wrote this 8th String
Quartet, this masterpiece, in three
days, drinking a whole lot of
beer.""
Gerard urged the audience to
"experience the tragedy of human
existence," and to listen with an
open ear. "Haydn, and Mozart
especially, capture the feel, spirit
and smell of all the ages," she
said, "and this is the thread that
knits together the music we will
perform for you tonight."
In 1971, violinist Mary Karo
founded what was originally the
Festival String Trio, which has
grown to include second violinist
Robie Evans and cellist Jennifer
Holson. All four women have
played professionally for organizations that include the San
Diego Opera, the San Diego
Symphony, the San Diego
Chamber Orchestra, the Starlight
Opera and the San Diego Comic
Opera.
Performing at Cal State San
Marcos was important for the
quartet because the advent of
the all-woman quartet is a very
recent one. "If you look at professional quartets, most of them
have been men; all the principle
quartets have been men," Holson
said. "It's great to play with all

�Tim Bills
Is the New
Assistant
Dean of
Students
By: Nathan Fields
Pride Staff Writer
Students wanting to withdraw
from Cal State San Marcos will
first have to get past Tim Bills.
CSUSM's new Assistant Dean of
Students is serious about keeping students in school. "I think I
can have a very positive impact
on a student who is considering
withdrawing from the university.
I'm one of the first stops in that
process."
Bills describes himself as "a
bluercollar, roll up my sleeves,
not necessarily high profile kind
of person."
Making the recent transition
from his position as associate
director of GEAR-UP (Gaining
Early Awareness and Readiness
for Undergraduate Programs) at
Grant Middle
School in
Escondido to that of Assistant
Dean of Students, Bills explains
that "the impact of these outreach
programs is a little bigger here
than at other schools because
we're such a new university and
don't have in place a lot of the
things that have been proven to
increase retention of students."
"Students who live on campus at least their first year are
much more likely to be retained
due to developing support groups,
establishing autonomy with parents," says Bills. "Some of those
things are not built into the
CSUSM experience, so these programs are very critical to establish a balance of challenge and
support, without creating stagnancy."
Rather than seeing this new
position as a shift in his career,
Bills feels that being the assistant
dean is something for which his
previous work has been preparatory. "With more than 10
years of experience in various
aspects of student development,
in many ways I'm in my element
here," explains Bills. "This position pulls together a lot of the
responsibilities that I have been
preparing for in my educational
background as well as in my experiential background. Since 1986,
I've been working in Residential
Life, Orientation, College Success
Programs, and Greek Life."
Hired on Jan. 13 as Assistant
Dean of Students, Bills began
working immediately on putting
together a proposal for activities
surrounding the upcoming Cesar
Chavez holiday; a program he
hopes will see participation from
all areas of the campus community. "For someone who has
spent their entire professional life
on a college campus, this is a
unique opportunity to s£e a community develop," says Bills.

Professor Survives 7.6 Earthquake
Glub S upport Brings D onations to Salvadorian S tudents
By: Melanie Addington
Pride Editor
Dr. Rosario Diaz-Greenberg
didn't expect to survive an earthquake or to watch the devastation of her homeland when
she returned to El Salvador in
January. A CSUSM professor
for the College of Education,
Diaz-Greenberg
teaches
Education for Cultural Diversity.
Over the winter break, she had
returned home to El Salvador
to teach "Curriculum Design
and Implementation" to 25 members of the National Curriculum
Writing Unit who are in charge
of developing and writing the
curriculum for the country. She
had planned to return home on
January 17, but the earthquake
caused damage to the airport
and her return flight was canceled until the airport reopened
on January 24.
At 11:30 am on Jan. 13,
an earthquake toppled part of
"La Cordillera del Balsamo" (the
Balsam Mountain), in Santa
Tecla, killing over eight hundred
people. The housing development
where the people died is called
"Las Colinas," which means hills,
according to Diaz-Greenberg. A
7.6 on the Richter scale, the earthquake lasted for 45 seconds. Since
Fransisca Vides, age 68, sits observing the destruction in Santa Maria
Ostuma, La Paz. Many people were affected by the Feb. 13 earthquake in El
Salvador (www.elsalvador.com/Courtesy Photo)
that day, there have been more
than 2,000 aftershocks. Because
of repeated aftershocks, structural damage to the buildings

nation in Central America, but
also the most densely populated.
Only 21,000 kilometers long, El
Salvador has close to six million
people within its borders. It is
the same size as the San Diego
and Imperial counties put together, or the size of the state of
Massachusetts.

Emergency Committee reports
that 283 people have died; 2,937

people have been affected; and
32,148 homes have been
destroyed.
On Feb. 13, at 8:22 am, a
second large earthquake hit with
a 6.6 on the Richter scale. Over
1,566 schools were damaged or
destroyed, and more than 1.5 million students were affected.
The Candelari^ Elementary
School fell with the second earthquake. Many students died during
the earthquake. Ann Elizabeth De
Chicas, the kindergarten teacher
at the school, succeeded in helping most of her class out of the
building before she was killed by
a collapsing wall.
Six children remained in the
classroom where De Chicas died,
and only one boy survived. Tobins
Navidad, a boy who was late to
school because he had to guide
his blind grandfather to his aunt's
house that morning, watched his
teacher and best friend die in the
collapse of his school. Dealing
with post-traumatic stress disorder, he calmly explained in
Spanish how "some of my friends,
a beam fell on their head."
, According to Greenberg, 19
students died at Candelaria,
including Tobias' kindergarten
class. Greenberg noted that physically, most of the children are
unharmed, but "mentally and
emotionally, the earthquake was
a horrible ordeal."
The cost of the repairs for all
of the schools is over $28 million
in U.S. dollars. "Even though the
government would like to give
priority to schools, at this point
there is not enough food or water
for the almost two million people
who were affected," said DiazGreenberg.

Barbara. The web site reported that
classmates said Attias "seemed disturbed and has acted strangely in
recent months." Lieutenant Michael
Burridge, Public Information
Officer for the Santa Barbara
Police Department, said, "We do
not believe that the suspect knew
any of the victims."
A California Highway Patrol
report included details of how "five
victims were thrown forward, some
being knocked out of their shoes
and socks." No motive for the incident is known at this time.
"The California Highway
Patrol estimated that he was going
55 to 60 mph, much faster than
the 25 mph posted speed limit,"
Burridge said. He also said that
a full blood panel test would be
returned sometime next week. This
test will reveal the level of alcohol,
drugs, or a combination of both
that may have been in Attias's
body.
The Daily Nexus reported that
"Attias is being charged with four
counts of murder, four counts of
vehicular manslaughter with gross
negligence, and five counts of felony driving under the influence
with injuries." His arraignment is
scheduled for March 6.
Dr. Miriam Schustack, acting
dean for the College of Arts &
Sciences, is asking the college
community to offer Sally Divis
and her family "sympathy, support
and prayers."
Dr. Schustack also urged students to visit the Counseling and

plans of hosting a Health Fair and

Old business was discussed,
including scheduled events for
Women's Herstory Month for
March and plans for a week-long
Cesar Chavez celebration.
With the hope that more clubs
will attend all ICC meetings
and become more involved, the
new business of the afternoon
was the discussion of the possibility of establishing a President's
Council in place of the Inter-Club
Committee for fall 2001.
Brad Schmidt, Club Services
Technician, said that some ICC
representatives may not report
back to their clubs and the ICC
meeting information may not get
back to all the club members.
Some club members argued that
it was too much to ask for all
the club presidents to come to
monthly meetings; they said that
the clubs' designated representatives should be enough.
To encourage clubs to attend
to the ICC meetings, ICC now has
a raffle for a $5 discount from

Bush Unveils New Budget
Plan to Nation
By: James Newell
Pride Staff Writer
Last week President George
W. Bush, in a nationally televised speech to the joint session
of Congress, unveiled his new
budget plan, including a $1.6 trillion dollar tax cut.
Bush began with jokes about
the close presidential race, then
outlined changes in education,
focusing on literacy, Social Security reform, new restraints on federal spending, the restructuring of
Medicare and his proposed $1.6
trillion dollar tax cut over the next
10 years.
"Let the American people
spend their own money to meet
their own needs," said Bush.
Bush wants to boost the economy with tax cuts based on a projected government surplus over
the next 10 years.
"The surplus is not the government's money," Bush said, "the
surplus is the people's money."
He said that by concentrating
on giving back to the taxpayers,
people would have more money,
spend more, and consume more,
and stimulate the economy.
"The people of America have
been overcharged, and on their
behalf I'm here asking for a
refund," said Bush. This was one
of many statements that brought
standing ovations and some 85
pauses for applause.
Not everyone readily accepted
his plans.
"If what the president said
tonight sounds too good to be
true, it probably is," said House
Minority Leader Richard Gephardt, D-Missouri.

all types of questions from stu-

are interested in learning more
about Latino population and culture.
"Since starting the center, we
have had several congressional
representatives come through the
center wanting to help," said Soriano. "Even before coming to San
Marcos we developed a proposal
for congressional funding, which
we provided to President Gonzalez who then presented it to
Congressman Ron Packard. Congressman Packard wanted to help
the University and saw the congressional appropriation as a way
of doing so. The rest is history."
As Director of the NLRC,
Soriano helps develop new initiatives that support the center. Soriano, who also oversees the functions and various divisions of the
center, says the research center is
expected to grow over the next
several years.
Currently there are several
job openings available to students interested in research, one
of which is the hiring of a research
coordinator. Students may opt for
a paid position or academic credit.
An open house is scheduled for
March 15, from 3:30-5:30pm. Students that wish to apply can go
to the NLRC located at City Hall
near the Old Spaghetti Factory in
San Marcos.
A new website for the center
is also under construction to provide a newsletter for students and

Li-Young Lee Stages Poetry for Carlsbad Audience •
By: Jayne Braman
Pride Grad Intern
"I think that all art, all true
art, provides a very specific service and that service is the service of disillusionment. If it adds
to our illusion, then it's not art...
If it takes away our illusion in
order to uncover sacred reality,
which is better off to me, then
it's art," said nationally-renown
poet, Li-Young Lee. He continued, "Art clears you so that you
have no more illusions, you see
reality, but reality is so big, so
mysterious and manifold, and
scary, and beyond understanding that sometimes we would
rather have the illusion. In this
way, all art is apocalypse; the

for reality that makes me write

�File Sharing Still in Jeopardy
By: Roland Arias Jr.
Pride Staff Writer
On Friday, March 2, the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals proposed to revise its original February 12 injunction, putting the
electronic music sharing community of Napster Inc. in jeopardy. Napster Inc. stated that it
would officially begin screening
copyrighted materials from being
traded on its server. The Court of
Appeals' revision is only a modification of the original injunction
that would force Napster to shut
down all free "peer-to-peer" sharing of music files. The injunction
is one of several landmark events
that have transpired within the
music-sharing controversy.
Last month, Napster had proposed to pay $1 billion dollars
in licensing fees to the major
recording labels and charge its
users membership fees, but the
Recording Industry Association
of America promptly turned down
the offer. Under the proposed
business model, Napster would
have paid $150 million dollars
per year to BMG, Sony, Universal, EMI, Warner and $50 million
to smaller independent recording
firms. The amount paid to each
company would be relative to the
amount of songs traded under the
Napster server.

But charging membership

not the only alternatives available
to avid traders of MP3s and music

servers and web sites are readily
available, whether or not Napster
shuts down or begins charging its

free and people won't pay for
music they could get elsewhere "
Whether the Napster community is forced to stop trading
music files or a service fee is
eventually charged, there will
always be different methods of
electronically sharing MP3s.
While one site dies, another web
site or trading program emerges
to take its place.

Man
Sand as Art
By: Cristine Averill
Using the beach as his canvas, preferably at low tide, Kirk
Vanallyn carves huge labyrinths
and geometric puzzles in the
sand. If you have ever been to
the local north county beaches,
such as Stone Steps and Beacons
in Leucadia, you have probably
seen the intricate sand art of the
Circle Man.
A resident of Leucadia for
over thirty years, Vanallyn has
been performing his sand art
for the last four years. He used
to contrive most of his work at
Beacons, but because of the loss
of beach sand, Vanallyn had to
move to Stone Steps Beach.
When asked why he chose
sand art as his means for expression, Vanallyn said, "I love to
be in nature and this is a great
way to interact with people.. .the
children love it."
Vanallyn believes in what he
calls sacred geometry, the idea
that all things have a natural
harmony and interconnectedness.
He works from a central contour
and then builds off each consecutive outline to form the final
piece.
"I enjoy the meditative ritual

of perfecting the designs and feeling how the shapes fit together,"
said Vanallyn. He uses an "artistrial compass," a tool that he
made from an old cross-country
machine and other spare parts.
He also controls the burm (perimeter) of the lines with a stylus
and uses different rake heads

Piercy, who has published
more than a dozen poetry books
and novels, began writing when
she was 15 years old. Although
Piercy has published several of
her works, she found that being
recognized in the literary field
was difficult, especially since
she was woman. Then in 1980
she emerged with a book of poetry, The Moon is Always Female.
Since the publication of that collection of poems, Piercy has
not stopped creating remarkable

Zapatistas on the Move:
Film Presented bv M EChA
By: Nathan Fields
Feature Editor
More than thirty students
were transported to the mountains of the Mexican southeast
Wednesday and Thursday nighte
when
MEChA
presented
Zapatista/. This film documents
the struggle of the indigenous
people in the Mexican state of
Chiapas for government recognition and land rights. MEChA
chose to show the film twice;
Wednesdays' showing was for
Spanish speakers, and Thursday's
was for English.
With its well-respected celebrity figures, hip-hop beats and
crisp and colorfully vibrant cinematography, the film wields a
hard-hitting and captivating modern edge.
The film features narration
from Mumia Abu-Jamal, Edward
James Olmos, Geronimo Pratt,
Zach de la Rocha, and interviews with Medea Benjamin,
Noam Chomsky, Subcomandante
Marcos and various leaders of
the revolutionary army. "Without
land, they can only sell their
labor anymore;" said Zach de
la Rocha, lead singer of Rage
Against the Machine referring to
the marginalization of Mexico's
indigenous population.
The Zapatistas, taking their
name from the hero of the
Mexican revolution, Emiliano
Zapata, are a revolutionary army
composed of Mexican Indians.
They have been training in the
jungles of southern Mexico for
over three decades before rising
up and speaking out against
the neo-liberal policies of the
Mexican government which
turned over indigenous lands to
private, and sometimes foreign
companies.
Ricardo Favela, president of
MEChA, explained that the group
chose to show the film now in
order to support an extensive
march to Mexico City begun last
week by the Zapatistas to lobby
Mexico's Congress for the passage of an indigenous rights bill
that seeks to protect the rights of
Mexico's various Indian populations. The march, attended by the
top leaders of the Zapatista army,
marks the first time these officials have left the state of Chiapas
since the uprising in opposition
to NAFTA and the Mexican government on January 1, 1994.
By allowing multinational
corporations to take advantage
of Mexico's impoverished and
large labor force, NAFTA may
be increasing the poverty of the
marginalized poor in Mexico. For
the Zapatistas, there is the hope
that the new PAN government,
under Mexican president Vicente
Fox, will be more receptive to
the Zapatistas than the previous
PRI party, which held power for
more than 70 years.
The film was preceded by a
short discussion about Emiliano
Zapata, and followed by an energetic bilingual discussion on topics ranging from international
politics and economics to reforming the governments both north
and south of the U.S.-Mexican
border.
"With so much corruption in
the Mexican government on all
levels, what can we do about
this? What can be done?" asked
Guadalupe Canseco, a Spanish
Literature Major and native of
Southern Mexico. "In Mexico,
people see the Indians, yes, as
part of our roots, as part of our
history, but they see them as less
than us. We want Mexico to be
this more modern nation instead
of embracing them."
Despite much popular international support of the Zapatistas
since their uprising in 1994, international political response has
focused on economic implications of the human rights movement. U.S. government and business officials responded by urging the Mexican government to
eradicate the Zapatista communities in order to preserve the
country's economic credibility.
More than half of Mexico's
army and various bands of
pro-government
para-military
groups now surround the communities. The Mexican Government,
Subcomandante Marcos (Big Noise/Courtesy Photo)
according to Noam Chomsky,
finds itself facing communities
with more highly developed forms
of democracy in place and a
revolutionary army that acts
defensively, with passive resistance. The film reports that the
Zapatistas haven't fired a shot
since Dec 12, 1994.
"We don't want to overthrow
the government and put ourselves in its place," asserted
Subcomandante Marcos, the first
leader of the revolutionary army,
"we want to create and open
space for democracy and dialogue." The rebels left Chiapas
Feb. 25 and will travel through
nine states before reaching the
capital on March 6. They expect
to be joined by sympathizers
along the way; the rebels will
march in the ski masks that have
become their movement's
symbol.
�Steal This Movie: The Only Film that Can Declare "Sacred Cow Makes the Best Hamburger."
By: Melanie Addington
Pride Editor.
"Once you have their
attention, they never, ever forget
you," announced actor Vincent
D'Onfrio while starring as Abbie
Hoffman. From the All-American
Jimi Hendrix song in the opening
credits to the end at Hoffman's
suicide, the newly released rental
Steal This Movie dares to piece
together the jagged edges of
Hoffman's life. A revolutionary
leftist leader in the 1960s,
Hoffman and the Chicago Seven
shook up America m protest of
the Vietnam War.
Beginning in 1977 with
Hoffman pitching his story to a
reporter, Steal This Movie sends
the viewer down a strange trip
through time. Most of the film is a
flashback, yet the editing remains
flawless in transitioning between
the different times. D'Onfrio
captures the personal side of
Hoffman but loses some of the
zeal in public. Yet, his acting is
stunning the second half of the
film as Hoffman begins to lose
control of his manic depression.
Director Robert Greenwald
credited Abbie and Anita
Hoffman as the writers of Steal
This Movie and, indeed, the
film carries the emphasis of
many exact quotes from moments
in Hoffman's life. Somewhat
Casablanca-like in its approach,
the viewer gets a rare treat of
romance, intrigue, scandal, politics and true history wrapped
into one real-life revolutionary
figure. The film takes a slanted
look through the eyes of Anita
and others in his life as they proceed to tell a reporter their version of the true Abbie Hoffman.
The film is also based off
of Marty Jezer's novel, Abbie
Hoffman: American Rebel. Both
the film and the novel claim
Hoffman as "one of the most
inventive community organizers
in American History."
Anita, played by Janeane
Garafalo, was Hoffman's wife
and mother to his one child,
America. Although she is incredible in every role she takes
on, playing Anita has brought
new merit to Garafalo's acting
career. Much like Meg Ryan did
for Pamela Morrison in Oliver
Stone's film The Doors, Garafalo
seizes her opportunity to show
to the world, not only the courage and strength but also the
individuality of the wife of a controversial man in the spotlight.
Although Steal This Movie
frames the events of 1960s and
'70s around Abbie Hoffman, the
the film doesn't leave enough
room for his charm, and his
great presence on screen distracts
from the focus upon Hoffman
(D'Onfrio).
Rubin was a journalist before
helping to lead many of the
riots alongside Hoffman. Often
described as the P.T. Barnum of
the Revolution by media, Rubin
was a master at manipulating
media attention. He often pulled
ingenious and obnoxious antics,
such as tossing money from the
balcony of the New York Stock
draft. Rubin died in 1994 after
being hit by a car while jaywalking.
In addition to the disappointing directorial choice, another
disappointment of the film is the
dismissal of Hoffman's ties to
the Black Panthers. One of the
Chicago Seven, Bobby Seale was
one of the major leaders of the
Black Panthers and was the only
one ball-gagged and tied down
during the trial. Although the
film never explores the connections between the two radical
Vincent D'Onfrio (playing Abbie), Janeane Garafalo (playing Anita) and Jeanne Tripplehorn (playing Johanna),
all stars in thefilm,Steal This Movie. (www.imdb.com/CourtesyPhoto)
Chicago Seven made their impact
together. Each of the members
was a powerful key player in
the protests of this ,time.
Disappointingly, through directorial choice, the film loses touch
with the relationships between
the seven. Leaving the viewer
wanting to know more about why
Jerry Rubin and Hoffman went
from good friends to bitter enemies, too many gaps are left for
us to be able to fill in the spaces.
Kevin Cofrigan, best known
as Eliot in 1998's Slums of Beverly
Hills, play Jerry Rubin. Corrigan
is witty, charming and just a fantastic actor. The problem is that
Exchange. Although what he and
Hoffman did was only considered a prank, their point was
driven home when the stockbrokers scrambled to gather as much
of the money as they could. The
point? Greed drives our commercial culture. The film shoots
through the point of view of news
broadcast to bring this image
to life. The effect manages to
clarify the absurdity of the prank,
stockbrokers and media.
The real Rubin had a cameo
role in the 1989 hit, Rude
Awakenings, about two hippies
that come back from the woods
after twenty years of dodging the
groups, the viewer learns that
Hoffman generously donates all
the profits from his novel, Steal
This Book, to the Black Panther
Party.
The Chicago Seven were
arrested in 1968 for disrupting the
Democratic National Convention
by inciting a riot. On film, the
famous trial for the riot in 1968
of the Chicago Seven in 1970
takes place exactly as it did in
the real world. Almost word
for word, Hoffman delivers his
speech, but the most eloquent
prose from Hayden and Rubin
are edited and drowned out by
the movie soundtrack written by
Mader.
Released
during
the
Democratic Convention of 2000,
timing of the film's release could
not have been more perfect.
Last summer the Democratic
Convention watched rioters tear
apart the streets of Los Angeles,
Abbie Hoffmann style. Music,
partying and chants survived
despite continual attacks from
police.
The beauty of the film is
how D'Onfrio stops addressing
the courtroom scene actors when
giving his final speech about
youth and revolution, but shifts
his focus to the camera's eye,
attempting to reach out to the
unseen and unknown viewers.
The film's final message ties
into a quote from Hoffman to
young people in every generation, "Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is
it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual
process embedded in the human
spirit"
,
Before nis suicide in 1989,
Hoffman was known for his
quick wit and one-liners, such as
"Sacred cow makes the best hamburger." The film tries to show
that as his depression took over
his life, the zealous Hoffman was
soon lost in the violent paranoia
of a manic-depressive. Yet, Anita
suggests and proves by the end
of the film, that Hoffman had
good reason for his fright. When
Hoffman resurfaced after five
years of hiding, the wear and
tear of running from the F.B.I,
showed greatly upon him. Still,
he managed to continue spreading his message until the end of
his life.
Although Hoffman declared,
"no one can imagine any of this
unless they've lived it," Steal This
Movie allows for a more insightful glimpse into the Yippie (Youth
International Party) Movement
and the counter-culture revolutionary movement of the 1960s.
The film is rated R by MPAA and
is 107 minutes long and available
for rental at most video stores.
An Intimate Evening with Gregory Page
By: Tim Farmer
Pride Staff Writer
"This is how music was meant
to be played. Friends sitting
around in a living room, no
amplifiers, no noisy coffee makers^ just music," said Gregory
Page while singing in the home of
local poet, Lizzie Wann. As
part of the Meeting Grace concert series on Thursday, February
15, guitarist Gregory Page played
a flawless acoustical performance
for an audienge of thirty-five.
The first highlight of the
evening was his performance of
"Goodnight, Saturday Night," a
comical song about a Saturday
night in which he gets drunk and
getslaid(byahooker)andreminisces about his ex-girlfriend, who is
now a lesbian because of him. The
second highlight was when Page
granted my personal song requiest,
"Diamonds and Gold."
Between every song, Page
told humorous and interesting
anecdotes. Page explained how he
came to San Diego from London
in 1976, when he was 16, and
that he used to play classical
guitar. He broke out the nylon
string classical guitar and played
a piece he used to perform for
his family in their living room
while he was growing up. Page's
classical roots were evident when
he played "Kensington Rag," a
very melodic instrumental song
that he wrote while sitting in
Kensington Park.
"How You Came To Me" was
a song about Page finding his
long lost father over the Internet
and their very first encounter.
"Roses in the Sand" was written
by Page and Sally Taylor, the
daughter of legendary folk musician, James Taylor. James Taylor
had asked Sally to cover one of
Page's songs in a concert; Page
told the audience that he was flattered that a great musician, such
as James Taylor, even thought of
him. Before playing "Walking in
the Park," Page informed us that
the song was downloaded over
20,000 times on the local based
web site, MP3, for Valentine's
Day.
During intermission, the
audience ate homemade brownies and cookies in Lizzie Wann's
kitchen and rubbed elbows with G r e g o r y p a g e
Page, asking him questions about
his start in San Diego.
While his performance was
fantastic, the most amazing thing
about Gregory Page was his

He adds, "That's just very
exciting to me. There's so much
opportunity for student life to
really define itself when the university is so young."
Bills felt drawn to San Diego
for. some time. "I grew up on
a 100-acre farm in Oil City,
Pennsylvania, not far from where
the first oil well was discovered
in this country. I am a first
generation college student. My
dad graduated high school and
worked in the coal industry. My
mom didn't graduate high school.
I was the first in my family to go
to college, and have inspired my
bothers and sister to do so. I feel
a kinship with students who are
first generation college students,
and I want to support them in
getting the most out of their college experiences."
He came to Cal State San
Marcos in the fall of 1998. "I
initially came here to be the coordinator of orientation and Greek
affairs here on campus. I thought
it would be a great way to help
develop the campus community
at CSUSM."

be instructing a course for developing academic skills and personal management for university
success for incoming students. "I
am here for students to turn to
in order to make full use of what
we have here both on a personal
basis and on an organizational
basis. I am looking at much more
than a student's in-class experience and academic success. I am
concerned with a student's total
experience and personal development, and in helping shape that
environment and those experiences."
Bills' own unique college
experiences greatly determined
his career in institutional academics.
"I took computer science for
two years and did very well, but
it was a major that would get me
a job, and I realized I needed to
find a major that fit who I was.
So I made a very conscious decision to be a psych major, though
I'd never taken any psychology
courses. And later, I made a conscious decision to work on college campuses." Bills encourages
every student to take the time
in school to consider what they
really want out of their college
experience.

Asked what his plans for the
next few years might be, Bills
spoke immediately of completing
his Ph.D. "Working on my dissertation in higher education has
probably been the biggest frustration of my life, to tell you
the truth. I was the type of doctoral student who extended himself too far, and I left my doctoral
program before I completed it,
which everyone will tell you not
to do. Don't leave before you're
finished. But this position is one
that really motivates me to complete my Ph.D. The more professionals we have here on campus,
the more academic an environment it can become and the more
partnerships that can be initiated." He hopes to schedule time
this summer to work on his dissertation.

the state grant includes a
developmental program that
would involve professionals from
the university and elsewhere to
teach library skills, such as
research and cataloging, to the
reservation library staff.
In the federal grant, Biggs'
proposal goes a step further and
attempts to establish CSUSM as
a research and training center for
San Diego county Native American tribes. The proposed center
would be a place where tribal
leaders could seek out and create
an open exchange among professional linguists, anthropologists and librarians that work on
campus.
She believes that the state
grant will be approved sometime
towards the end of March; however, the federal grant is still in
the processing stage and final
acceptance is pending.
Another aspect of Biggs' proposals is to facilitate the integration of technology within the
libraries. She hopes to get com-
puters with Internet access for
children at the reservations since
most of them attend schools off of
the reservation and have no place
to study and research when they
come home.
Biggs hopes that the computer
technology will develop simultaneously with the reorganization
of tribal libraries. This will provide not only a place to research,
but also a station where computersavvy children can interactively
learn about their own past and
language.

Weekly Web Site
J afo_wac f or The Pride
Web sites are designed with
different goals in mind. Some web
sites are intended to promote the
sale of a product, some intend
to be entertaining, and some
are artistic self-expressions. The
intent of some web sites, such as
www.bonsaikitten.com, however,
is not immediately obvious.
Bonsai Kitten contains background on the art of Bonsai and
explains the application of Bonsai
on kittens. The site goes into some
detail explaining the process and
the different shape jars in which
to mold the kitten. Photographs of
the process are also contained on
the Gallery page.
More careful evaluation of the
Bonsai Kitten site reveals that it
is all a parody. The pictures do
not include any "final" versions of
the supposed Bonsai animal shaping, nor does the page purport to
sell the paraphernalia. There are
no prices or means of ordering.
The site is intended to amuse
and irritate people, and from the
letters posted on the guest book,
it certainly does an effective job.
Whether or not the Bonsai Kitten
web site was intended to test the
limits of freedom of speech is
unclear; nevertheless, that is what
is happening.
According to the Electronic
Freedom
Foundation,
www.eff.org, "The 'Bonsai Kitten'
parody site that lampoons hypersensitivity gets bitten by precisely
that—FBI launches bogus criminal investigation and attacks parodist's anonymity, while multiple

lack of sense of humor."
The Internet provides an
opportunity for free speech. Today
anyone can publish a web page and
use it for just about anything. The
outcome of government investigations of sites such as Bonsai

action against such sites, will have
important effects on free speech

�Upward Mobility
C limbing t he Socio-Economic Ladder
By: Christopher Mcintosh
Upward Mobility - the claim that America's
citizens can freely move up (and down)
the socioeconomic ladder based solely on
the individual's hard work, determination
and intelligence.This freedom of movement is more myth t han reality.
Let's look at this in a less than usual
way. Imagine America as a giant volcanic
island, the summit of the volcano shining
bright, high above the dingy plains below.
Now look close to the region where the
parched land meets the battering sea.
Here you see those in the lowest rung
of the socioeconomic ladder. Here you
see people living in such poverty that
the tattered and worn clothes they wear
are among their most prized possessions.
They struggle to find food of any kind.
They rarely look towards the volcano, for
a moment of distraction may result in a
wave throwing them into the sea.
Looking just past the sea-spray soaked
soil, you see a group of people that manage
to barely feed and clothe themselves. They
toil every day to just survive. They possess
very few personal items. Occasionally,
these people find the strength to wonder
what it must be like to live where the
thunderous surf cannot be heard.
Walking inland you see people that
feed and clothe their families. Shelters
are built to keep the spring rains off
their heads. You walk along the poorly
maintained roads, peering into the faces
of children that know sorrow.
Walking on further, you encounter a
group of people that appear fairly well
nourished. Their houses are built of sturdier materials. They have some luxury
items, such as radios and televisions. You
recognize that the language you hear is
slowly changing from that spoken near
the water.
As you begin to enter the foothills
of the giant volcano you see organized
homesteads. The people here are well
fed and possess many luxury items. The
houses now have skirts of lawn. You see
phone and cable lines attached to every
house. You can also detect the slight curve
of the base of the volcano. There is slightly
less room here for a population as large as
that on the plains near the sea.
You begin to climb the gentle sides of
the volcano. Here you encounter several
vehicles per dwelling. The homes are large
enough to shelter many families, but you
can only detect three or four inhabitants
in each. The people appear to throw away
slightly used luxury items as well as an
incredible amount of edible food.
Higher up the slopes, there is a definite grade that impedes your progress.
The curvature of the volcano is readily
apparent. There is very little space for
many people here, yet the few people that
are present seem to spend a majority of
their time lounging around. These people
seem to have somehow temporarily borrowed individuals from the lower parts
of the island. These borrowed people are
completing all the labor-intensive work.
Strangely enough, you notice that the
borrowed people are only allowed to be
at certain places at specific times up here.
Additionally, the higher altitude must have
some how caused the pigmentation in
their skins to fade as few people here have
the dark tan color of those by the sea.
Almost to the pinnacle now, you are
amazed at the manicured flora adjacent to
the well-kept roads. You know that these
trees and plants normally grow nearer the
sea, but have been magically transplanted
up here in the thinning air. The few houses
present are so vast that you wonder if they
are factories. The materials the homes are
made of are not indigenous to this island.
The altitude here has so bleached the skin
that the people hide under layers of the
most wondrous cloth you have ever seen.
At the peak now, you pause. Before
seeing who lives up here, you turn and
look below. You can clearly see the glimmering houses immediately below you.
Slightly beyond you can barely make out
the work force of borrowed people. The
further down you look, the hazier the
images appear. You cannot see the simple
houses close to the shoreline. Those living
at the surf line are obliterated by the
glare of the sun on the water. The island,
contrary to what you know, seems like
a wonderful place to live. It seems that
everyone has beautiful houses and people
to maintain the grounds. You close your
eyes and turn around. Opening them, you
see coming out of the mist a huge White
House.
Now imagine watching someone trying to leave the zone in which they where
WAVE AN OPINION? SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TO
born. A figure struggles to escape the
thrashing of the waves. If lucky enough
to scramble up the rocks without being
thrown in to the sea, the figure finds itself
in a strange new world. Although the
people here are very similar, they speak a
slightly different dialect. What is worse,
they seem to resent the intrusion. Their
curiosity quickly turns to anger as the
figure attempts to eat some of their food.
The intruder either is pushed back,
killed, or escapes to an area of poorer
resources in the sea-spray zone. Fastforward several zones. You now see a
figure trying to drive its SUV higher up
the volcano. Immediately the SUV has
trouble with the steeper grade. Increasing
amounts of gas are used to maintain the
climb. Soon, the SUV is out of fuel, but the
figure cannot afford the price for even a
single gallon of gas up here. Additionally,
those that live up here are resentful of the
"crappy" car the figure has brought to
their neighborhood. Although, they claim
that they would never chase someone
away (or worse yet - kill them), they exert
pressure in the form of ostracizing and
defacing any trespasser. I think you get
the idea.
Now, what can be done? I have come
up with 5 solutions. First, destroy the volcano (Marxism?). Second, build a rapid
transit system through different volcanic
zones (education?). Third, create zonal
mountains (Capitalism?). Fourth, ignore
the s ummit (Zen Buddhism?). 5th, u nify
all those in the zone and advance up the
volcano (Coup de Grace?).

valley to be developed in a high-density manner, similar to that of
the Santa Fe Hills development.
If you share concerns about your quality of life being impacted
by more traffic, overcrowded schools, electric and water shortages,
higher taxes, concomitant with more loss of open space and destruction of our wildlife in this area, it's extremely urgent that you attend
this meeting and voice your concerns now, before it's too late.
The developer is willing to sell this property as an open space
preserve. Please help the City and County understand that we want
to preserve some of our ponds, creeks, and hillsides in their natural
state. Urge them to apply for state approved funding to purchase
this as a preserve.

O n M eeting M arge Piercy
By: Darcy Walker
Pride Opinion Editor
A few years ago, my brother
recommended I read Woman on
the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy.
I found the novel fascinating,
inspiring, and truly unique. I
sought out Piercy's poetry, and
read the collection, Woman on
the Edge of Time, which moved
me deeply after my own mother's death. So when I received
the Arts and Lectures brochure
announcing Marge Piercy's visit,
I quickly emailed my Pride editor and claimed the story.
During the weeks before
Piercy's reading, I prepared. By
reading more of her poetry and
studying her website, I hoped to
get the most out of her talk and
to ask her some intelligent questions for The Pride. In one of
my classes, we have been studying the writing process in detail,
and I added a question about the
subject to my short list.
On Monday, I sat in the full
auditorium listening with ravenous attention, devouring the
words like a hungry child. Marge
Piercy's poetry was n a disappointment. Her demeanor during
the question and answer period,
however, left me quite dissatisfied.
Tasked Piercy to tell us about
her writing process, what rituals
she uses, and what inspires her.
Slumping across the podium, she
replied, "Look. I'm a professional writer. I go to the computer. I
write. If I don't write, I don't get
paid." The crowd laughed. My
face burned, a matchstick flash
in the dim auditorium.
Piercy's lengthy, albeit offthe-mark answer went on: "The
things that are difficult in an art
or a sport are things you don't
even have to think about five
years later."Obviously empathy
joins those forgotten things. She
went on to mention her new
book on how to write, and then
wrapped up her answer with,
"The simple things, like getting
yourself to work, aren't difficult."
I had not asked for a magic
pill, or the secret recipe for a
spell that would not only force
an unwilling hand to write, but
also make it miraculously produce great literature. I simply
wanted a tidbit of insight into
the unique writing process of an
accomplished author. D oes she
drink coffee when she works?
Sit in the garden with her cats?
What do her first drafts look
like? Does she visit the local
library for research? Any such
crumb would have sufficed. Her
apparent assumption that I was
just another lazy student looking
for an easy solution insulted and
embarrassed me.
Perhaps I expected too much.
Perhaps Marge Piercy has been
asked so many lame questions
in her time that she expects no
more from people. Maybe she has
evolved to the point that she no
longer sees her writing as a process. She sits down at the computer and it just happens, automatic as breathing. Whatever the
case, I did not enter that auditorium expecting to be blessed
with the inspiration to go out
and claim the Pulitzer. If, however, I am someday successful and
lucky enough to share my knowledge with eager, engaged listeners, I hope I remember to treat
them with kindness and respect.
As a public institution we
want to be environmentally
friendly, don't we?
I asked myself this question
Friday morning when I walked
down to the west end of parking
lot C to find it flooded with
mud and water. A friend in
the Environmental Club had
informed me that the new parking,
lot construction area was causing major erosion on campus.
A wide and steady current of
dark water and mud was flowing
down out of the construction site,
flooding over the curbs into the
natural unpaved gullies, and into
the parking lot where it was mudcaking the tires of an entire row
of cars.
Stepping carefully around the
sandbags and onto the curb, mud
swallowed my boot up to the
ankle.
Speaking with Kai and
Amanda, members of the CSUSM
Environmental club helped me to
realize that the problem with such
runoff goes far beyond muddy
boots and dirty car tires.
Run-off leaves our cemented-in world and flows into our
man-made storm drains which
normally run directly into creeks,
lagoons and the ocean. Since Cal
State San Marcos is at a higher
elevation than much of the surrounding area, anything natural
or unnatural leaving in the water
flowing off campus seeps into
our surrounding environment.
Kai explained that "by the
look of the water you can see
that we have clay, and if there
were fish in a nearby creek this
would be very unhealthy for
them because they need to have
free oxygen circulation around
their gills. This sediment clogs
them."
When I asked a construction
worker to explain the erosion,
I was told, "it's gotta go somewhere."
Not that I'm criticizing the
construction crew. It seems they
were making efforts to combat
the problem. When I got to
the parking lot, a campus facilities vehicle was laying out rows
of sandbags to filter and slow
the runoff. I later learned that
the bags were being placed in
response to Kai's concerned calls
to various campus offices.
Unfortunately, sandbags are
designed to hold back and trap
only the heaviest sediment, and
some of the worst siltation to
have in our streams, creeks and
ocean is the very fine particles
that sand bags do not stop.
Preventing sedimentation of
rivers should be a concern of
anyone who wants to maintain
a healthy natural environment as
it increases erosion and compromises the integrity of riverbeds
and the health of the surrounding
plant and animal life.
Of course sediment naturally
flows down hills and mountains
when it rains, but the runoff at
Cal State San Marcos is excessively muddy because of the construction and mining processing
of the soil.
From a construction worker
I learned that there are regulations on stopping sedimentation
from construction sites, but he
explained that they are rarely
enforced. He also mentioned
that desilting basins, specifically
designed to catch sediment from
spreading into natural aqueducts,
are usually only built after a
problem becomes obvious.
He didn't think our campus
had a desilting basin. But, he did
acknowledge that "there should
really be no silt out here", even
though there was.
The construction crew also
graded the dirt in attempts of
stemming the tide of the water.
However, the rain knocked down
the flimsy plastic barriers placed
to prevent the sediment from running off. No one reinforced them
and, in the meantime, the water
continued to flow.
To add to the runoff problem, I witnessed a large water
tanker spraying the ground in
order to force any remaining sediment down into the parking lot.
This was considered a remedy!
The tanker continued on to spray
the students' cars that the runoff
muddied.
A construction crewmember
said it was "technically" called
"street-washing", but I d on'tassume to understand terms so
"technical." To me it just looked
dirty. Imagining all of that runoff
carrying sediment and clay into
the nearby San Marcos Creek and
Batiquitos Lagoon, and eventually the ocean, makes me feel a
guilty about supporting this construction with my student fees.
As a public institution, we
want to be environmentally
friendly, don't we?
Perhaps I shouldn't assume
such things so readily.

Eyes on the Road—Hands on the Steering Wheel
By: Daniel Huey
Pride Staff Writer
Modern technology gives new
kinds of distractions to motorists,
and hand held cellular telephones
represent an unnecessary distraction. Back in the days of stagecoach drivers, the only distraction coach drivers faced were ruts
in the road or some grungy banditos looking to rob their Wells
Fargo satchel. The coachman
drove their rig under the open
sky through wide-open spaces. If
they were lucky, they might see
one or two other coaches, and in
those days meeting someone on
the open road could save their
life. However, now the roadways
are packed, and everyone is in a
hurry. Time is money. We spend
a vast amount of time in traffic
waiting: waiting for the light
to change, waiting for traffic to
loosen up so we can drive the
freeway speed limit, and waiting
for other drivers to give enough
space to make a lane change.
Accidents happen when drivers
quit paying attention to their driving.
People using hand held cellular phones cause most of the close
calls I experience while driving.
Ever have someone almost broadside you while making an illegal
left turn while yakking to someone on their cell phone? People
who use hand held cellular phones
while driving give more attention to their conversation than
to their driving. If these people
cause an accident, then they affect
not only my life but also my family's lives.
I think there should be a law
banning the use of hand held cellular telephones while driving.
There is already a law against
using stereo headphones while
driving. It is against the law
to drive while wearing stereo
headphones because drivers who
wear them cannot hear the traffic
around them—such as an ambulance or someone honking their
horn. My peeve is that I do not
think that people who use hand
held cell phones while driving
really pay attention. I think they
pay more attention to their conversation than they do to traffic.
Their eyes drop from the road to
pay attention to dialing the phone
and then they pay more attention
to their conversation than to what
happens on the roadway.
Not everyone will agree with
what I say, but it will draw a line
and open a conversation. Because
cell phone users cause most of my
close calls in traffic, I think there
are other motorists who have similar experiences. I hope this missive alerts people who do use a
hand held cellular phone in their
car that it is an unsafe driving
practice and makes them think
about the impact they cause other
drivers by unsafe driving.

Candidate
Forum Held
By AMY BOLASKI
Pride Staff Writer1
An open forum, held
Thursday and Monday, gave candidates in the ASI elections a
chance to introduce themselves
and field questions from students about campus issues and
ASI's role and involvement in
student life.
One of the topics addressed
was the ASI budget and the
amount of money appropriated
to help subsidize the cost of the
Early Learning Center (ELC).
Incumbent
president
Dean
Manship said the ELC was one
of the ASI's biggest costs* and
addressed questions posed about
the lack of funding for student
clubs.
"It's a difficult situation/'
Manship said. "[The ASI] is a
finalist for a $250,000 grant, and
if we get it, we won't have to
subsidize the ELC at all. If we
don't get.it, we'll have to move
money out of the ELC and the
first place it will go is to student
clubs and groups."
Manship said the ASI budget
is "a confusing document, and
it's a difficult situation. Our only
option to keep everyone happy is
to continue looking for grants."
Several of the candidates
were asked what they could do to
get students involved, and why
they thought apathy was a problem on campus. Dustin Naylor,
running for Undergraduate
Representative, said, "Students
aren't aware of what's available
to them, what programs are
available." Naylor mentioned that
ASI-sponsored events are always
well-publicized, "which is always
a goal for us [ASI]"and that he'd
"like to support the school more,
and get in touch with the school
by meeting new people."
"ASI must go to great lengths
to inform students," said Josh

Heers, the unopposed candidate
for Vice President of Finance.
Vinnie Williams, who is
running for Executive Vice
President, said, "Students don't
know what ASI is doing and they
don't care, but I know everyone
on this campus has; an opinion."
Naylor also brought up the
lack of student housing on campus, which he sees as one of
the reasons for lack of student
involvement.
Williarrfls stressed the importance of getting out there and
"really getting die message
across to students, even if we
have to be outlandish."
Tammy Rodriguez, the unopposed candidate for Corporate
Secretary, said she's "really f rying to institute a monthly newsletter to inform students "
"It's not going to happen
overnight," said Artie Patel, who
is running for the position of
College of Arts and Science
Representative. "Hopefully, we'll
see a lot of improvement next
year."
The candidates were asked to
describe, in one word, the stance
ASI needs to take to improve
student involvement and campus
life. Williams said the ASI needed to be "loud." Naylor said
ASI should be "comfortable."
Patel used the word "accessible,"
and Rodriguez said it should be
"committed."
"We need to envision where
this organization is going to go
in the future," said Manship. "It's
not just a stop and go, but something we really need to carry

Bargaining Process Begins for Faculty

resolution to the contract bargaining."
Diehr commented that, historically and considering the last
contract negotiations, this process will not be without conflict.
Ken Swisher commented that
CSU administration "sincerely
hopes to arrive at a quick and
orderly renewal of the contract
by June 30."
In the event the union and
CSU administration teams do
not come to agreement on a contract by June 30, there could possibly be a declaration of impasse;
meaning that both sides declare
no progress has been made.
After a declaration of impasse,
mediation begins with a state
representative from the Public
Employees Relations Board to
mediate the bargaining process.
At this point, a period of "fact
finding" begins with a team
of three individuals, one from
the CFA team, one from the
CSU administration team, and
one from a neutral party by
mutual agreement. This factfinding team then issues a recommendation to the two parties
who use the report to come to an
agreement. "If necessary, such
a process would hopefully be
completed by the end of summer or surely by the end of
September," said Diehr.
"If this process doesn't
work," he continued, "then job
actions such as letter writing or
e-mailing campaigns or teachins would begin." CFA hopes
that these actions will get the
attention of the state government
who would then put pressure
on both parties to come to an
agreement.
"It's very early in the process, and mostly what's happening at these early meetings is
agreeing on the itinerary," said

Swisher.
Swisher continued by saying
that, "This process is very normal. This year's contract negotiations are not extraordinary in
any way."

that "the issues we are bargaining on this term's contract are of

our faculty doing more work for
less money. Of course this costs
the administration less," continued Diehr, "but adjuncts suffer
because they have no employment assurance! Students also
suffer in terms of quality of their
education."
Swisher explained that the
CSU system administration had
a very different view on the
adjunct policy. "Our main use of
adjuncts is to ensure our ability

body. We want to be able to
respond to increases pf students
in particular classes, as well
as situations where there are
decreases in enrollment. Having
adjuncts at our disposal allows
us to be more flexible."
Swisher also explained that,
since the economy has improved,
the CSU system is greatly
increasing its level of adjuncts.
"This was something we couldn't
afford to do when the economy
was bad," said Swisher.
In reference to the quality of
teaching provided by adjuncts,
Swisher explained that, "It is
(the administration's) view that
adjuncts have the ability of bringing a new, fresh perspective into
the classroom. For that reason,
we think adjuncts are beneficial
for students."
Swisher said that the
administration's main concern
about the adjunct policy focused
on FERP, the Faculty Early
Retirement Plan. FERP allows
faculty to teach part-time for
half-pay while receiving about
two-thirds of their retirement
money. Swisher said that this
necessitates the hire of "at least
two additional professors to take
their place, and that (FERP) is
a program that administrators
wish to make efficiency changes
to."
Diehr summarized the CFA's
intentions for the bargaining process in renewing their contract
saying, "Overall, we will be trying to reduce the rising student/
faculty ratio as well as the ratio
of students to tenure track faculty, We'll be asking for more tenure track faculty and less adjunct
positions. We want to encourage the administration to bargain in better faith and to reach
early tentative agreements that
can serve to expedite this bargaining process."

Many traditionally printed
newspapers have also developed
online versions. This combination of printed and online edition,
when done well, increases the
newspaper's circulation, advertising and provides a broader range
of services to readers.
For example, the San Diego
Union Tribune has an online edition that is found at http://
www.signonsandiego.com, and not
too surprisingly, The Washington
Post's online edition can be found
at http://www.wasWngt9npost.com.
The student newspaper at SDSU
is The Daily Aztec, and it can be
found at http://www.dailyaztec.com.
The Pride also has an online edition, which can be found at http://
www.csusmpride.com.
Online editions generally do
not mimic their printed counterparts. Not all articles and advertisements make it into the online
edition. The Pride's online edition is no different; not all articles
are found on The Pride's online
version, such as last week's web
site review, and there is very little
advertising on the site.
Other online editions have
features that make it worthwhile
to visit the sites. Some features
may be the newspaper's outstanding reputation, and viewing them
online allows them to be globally accessible. For local papers,
online displays of information
such as traffic, weather and movie
times provide incentives for readers to visit the web site. These features make online edition work.
The Pride Online fails in these
regards.
Also, online editions often
include features that allow for
reader feedback that may not be
found in printed versions, such as
the online surveys found on The
Pride site. Online surveys seem
to be a standard component of
newspapers and magazines web
sites. Online surveys, however,
are worthless from a statistical
point-of-view as there is no way to
tell how the people who take the
surveys are distributed in the general population; and accordingly,
the results are often skewed.
One of the most useful features that can be incorporated into
online newspaper editions is an
archive of past issues. Archived
issues of The Pride are not available on the web site. The site
also has a "search" button, but
it is a broken link, and the "contact" and "about us" links also do
not work. None of the other online
editions of newspapers I mentioned before feature non-functioning hyperlinks. The "LTWR
316/COMM 316" link works;
however, I do not understand why
it is included in the online edition
of the paper, since the link is
only for students in that class and
not for general readers.
The basic design of http://
www.csusmpride.com is logical
and follows the standard formula
for most web sites. The San Diego
Union Tribune uses a similar formula. Basically, both sites consist
of links on the right and left hand
side of the page and a main story
down the center.
The Pride Online is easy to
use, at least the functional parts
of it, mostly because there is
so little information on the web
site. But their online edition also
commits the faux pas of using the
same underlined font and color
for things that are both links and
non-links.
does not compose a useful a rnplimait
to the printed edition because there is
absolutely no reason to visit t te web
site unless you don't pick up a printed

Protest at the Border
Free Trade Area of the Americas
By ZACHARY PUGH
Pride Staff Writer
Protestors and activists
marched through the streets of
Southern California and into
Mexico on Saturday, April 21.
The rally began at Larson Field
in San Diego where protestors
began their march in hopes to
stop the Free Trade Area of
the Americas (FTAA), a proposed expansion of the North
American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA).
FTAA would "integrate the
economies of the Western Hemisphere into a single free trade
arrangement," according to the
official FTAA web site (http://
www.alca-ftaa.org), and "barriers to trade and investment will
be progressively eliminated."
Proponents of the FTAA,
such as the Stop the FTAA
Coalition, however, argue that,
"the goal of the FTAA is to
impose the failed NAFTA model
of increased privatization and
deregulation hemisphere-wide.
Imposition of these rules would
empower corporations to constrain governments from setting
standards for public health and
safety ... and enhance corporate control at the expense of
citizens throughout the America's. FTAA would deepen the
negative effects of NAFTA that
we've seen in Canada, Mexico
and the U.S."
Guest speakers for the rally
included Medea Benjamin, a
political activist and U.S. senate
candidate, and Tom Morello, a
guitarist for Rage Against the
Machine.
"We are part of a movement
that is not just around the FTAA,
but stopping the whole corporate globalization agenda," said
Benjamin, co-director of the San
Francisco based human rights
organization, Global Exchange.
Morello told the crowd,
"After looking at the FTAA's predecessor, NAFTA, it only makes
sense to oppose it. NAFTA was
a failure and destroyed the lives
of millions. More people live in
poverty today thanks to NAFTA,
more people are landless and
homeless thanks to NAFTA,
and more people are working
in sweatshops, are uninsured
and are unemployed thanks to
NAFTA."
Although he did not attend
this protest, student Ricardo
Favela, president of the CSUSM
chapter of MEChA (Movimiento
Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan)
said he felt very strongly for
the resistance against the FTAA.
When asked about his personal
opinions on the resistance to
FTAA, Ricardo said that he was
"in agreement with it" and that
that we need "to try to internationalize the struggle and take a
stand across the borders."

Drought Buoy Brings a Menagerie of Entertainment
By M ARC Y RIVERA
Pride Staff Writer
For those looking for a oneof-a-kind performance, look no
further then improvinist group
Drought Buoy. An ensemble of
college instructors, they performed free of charge at
Escondido's California Center for
the Arts, on April 23, at an auditorium filled almost to capacity.
A self-described "performance
a rt" trio, Drought Buoy is comprised of bass player Gunnar
Biggs, poet Brandon Cesmat and
dancer Terry Sprague.
-What makes Drought Buoy
performances so unique is that
they are never performed quite
the same way. Cesmat described
it as a "passion for making something that is new every time."
The impromptu part of the performance also adds a lot of creativity. Attendants were asked
by student helpers to think of
a random word, which was written down on paper and put in
a box. During the performance,
the group took the box, sprawled
out the papers around the stage
and selected a few at random.
The group did an impromptu,
freestyle on the word "flirting,"
about a couple that is flirting
and waiting for their baby to fall
asleep.
Throughout much of the
45-minute performance, Cesmat
talked or sang through song,
Biggs coordinated the music, and
Sprague performed interpretive
dance. The songs that the group
performed ranged from somber
to funny to lively. Biggs played
a surf-like melody on his bass
for the song "California Town"
while Cesmat spoke about the surrounding cities of Valley Center,
Escondido and Vista. The song
"Body Engineering" was about
the design of body parts, which
Sprague interpreted in a playful

manner. Cesmat spoke about how
the legs and hips were designed
"by gravity, or shall I say, a
protest thereof." During the song
"River Murmurs," the background changed to blue, reflecting a water-like setting. The silhouettes of the group were illuminated in an interesting way,
with shadows of Sprague dancing and Biggs moving his fingers
along the bass.
The song, "Jitters/' was a
crowd-pleaser and was written
from the perspective of a person
who has consumed massive
amounts of coffee. Dancing in
pseudo-African style, Sprague
conveyed the feeling of someone
who has caffeine jitters while
Biggs kept increasing the tempo.
"My favorite part was a song
called 'Jitters,' the dance resembled the jitters," said CSUSM
student John Wiskowsky. When
asked about the whole performance, he said, "it was definite-

Salsa Fresca: A CSUSM Student Recipe
* I ts Fresh and I Made It Myself
>
By DANIEL HUEY
Pride Staff Writer
Guests come to our homes
for numbers of reasons: to talk, to
watch sports on TV, and to share
'meals. Be prepared to entertain
with this simple, easy to prepare
and delicious Salsa Fresca.
Be sure to make plenty
because this delicious stuff
doesn't last long once the guests
have tasted a sample. Preparation time is 10 minutes with a
food processor or 20 minutes if
done by hand.
Ingredients:
10 roma or other variety of
tomatoes
1 nice onion — red; white or
yellow
1 bunch of green onions
5 firm, crisp, robust jalapeno
chilies — never use canned
chilies
1 bunch of cilantro
Salt—I prefer margarita salt
but any kind will do
2 juicy limes or ljuicy lemon
White vinegar
Okay, lets get cooking.
Rinse the chilies, tomatoes,
green onion and cilantro. I like
using "Fit" to remove the wax
that is used on these types of
vegetables.
First, dice the tomatoes and
place in serving bowl, a large
one is necessary.
Next, mince half the onion
and chop the green onion and
place in the serving bowl.
Split the jalapeno chilies in
half and remove the seeds and the
white part that holds the seeds.
If you like your salsa very
spicy (nuclear), leave the seeds
and white part in a couple of the
chilies.
Mince the chilies and a good
amount of the cilantro and place
them in the serving bowl.
With a wooden or plastic
spoon, mix all the ingredients —
"salsify" the salsa.
A fter the salsa is mixed,
squeeze on the lime or lemon
juice, lime juice is preferred,
and add about three tablespoons
of the white vinegar—a good
splash—and add salt to taste,
then mix a little more.
If you have the time, give
the ingredients a half an hour
rest in the refrigerator, this will
allow the distinct flavors to meld
together.
Serve Salsa Fresca with tortilla chips as a finger food or as
a condiment with tacos, eggs or
fish.
For a different flavor, try
substituting some diced mango
for part of the tomatoes (mango
salsa is a delightful condiment
for chicken and fish).
Now when guests arrive they
will ask, "Did you make any of
your famous salsa? " Or they may
ask, "How did you make this
delicious salsa?" Shhhhhhh, it's
a secret.
Crocodile D undee in L os Angeles
By TIM FARMER
Pride Staff Writer
Sequels tend to rely on their
forerunning movies to captivate
the
audience.
Although
"Crocodile Dundee in Los
Angeles" is no exception, it is as
funny and as "good as the past
Dundee movies.
Paul Hogan again stars as
Mick "Crocodile" Dundee, a tour
guide from the Australian outback. Mick's longtime girlfriend,
Sue Charlton, is still played by
Linda Kozlowski after 13 years
since the last Crocodile Dundee
movie. In this sequel, Dundee
and Sue have a child together
but are not married. Mick can
hardly tell Sue, "I love you," and
the couple is rarely seen together
which makes their relationship
seem a bit unbelievable.
Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski star
in the third Crocodile Dundee film.
' (Courtesy Photo/www. imdb. com)
Shortly into the film, the
Dundee family travels to Los
Angeles because Sue takes over
a press position. She soon realizes that the man whose position
she takes over was researching a
movie production studio before
he died. While Sue takes over
his research, Mick takes a job
as an animal caretaker, snoops
around Los Angeles and finds
some strange practices taking
place. Like the other movies
before, Mick always seems to
find a way to use his outback
skills to his advantage in fighting
and capturing the "bad guys."
Although this movie was
hilarious, it was dependent on
the ignorance of Mick living the
city life and captivating everyone, including his son's teacher
who has a crush on him. The
movie *also had some spoofs
to keep it interesting such as
the Dundees driving an Isuzu
Outback (in real life Paul Hogan
endorses the Isuzu vehicle).
In order to enjoy a movie
like this, you need to let go of
reason and thought.. "Crocodile
Dundee in Los Angeles" is funny
and entertaining, and that's the
aim of this film. And you never
know, you might walk around
saying, "G'day mate" to everyone f rom now on.
This film is rated PG by the
MPAA for language.

for the field house to be open
and for more sports on campus.
In comparison with Concordia

Rumble, a psychology major,

be a high school counselor.
She does not work at the
moment, "It is hard enough right
now with a full-time load and
running," says Rumble.
Her expectations for this
track season are to go to the
nationals and become an AllAmerican. "All I have to do is
to work hard*" says Rumble, "on
April 20 I will be running my
first 10K in which I need to get
at least a 38:45 to qualify for
nationals and then a minute less
to become an All-American,"
said Rumble. She also runs two
hours every day.
Rumble, who hopes to compete in the triathlon, adds, "It
is nice to be at home and have
Steve Scott for a coach." She
believes she can accomplish her
goals and thanks Coach Steve
Scott for being there for her,
"Coach really helps me. He is
someone I can approach, and I
am thankful for his emotional

Rumble began running her
freshman year in high school.
Before she ran, she was a swimmer, which she says, "was very
helpful for running."
Surf and Ski in the J iame Day
By TIM FARMER
Pride Staff Writer
With the ski season coming
to an end, the options for ski
and snowboard locations are also
lessening. As of April 27, Bear
Mountain, Snow Summit and
Snow Valley are all closed for
the season. Locally, Mountain
High is the only remaining resort
still in operation for skiing and
snowboarding. They expect to be
open at least through May 6, so
time is running out. They have
a 12-24" base and have spring
conditions. The runs are pretty
thin with snow, but individuals
can still ride them.
Mammoth, however, doesn't
appear to be closing any time
soon. Although they have spring
conditions, they have a 5-7 foot
snow base and just about every
run is open. The trip can be
rewarding if you are craving to
get that last trip in before the
season is over, and the roads are
completely clear, so it won't take
you forever to get through the
snow.
As for the surf conditions, the
water isn't exactly warm yet. The
terfiperatures have been ranging
from 57-61 degrees, and the wave
conditions have been fair.at best,
but don't let that stop the summer surf urge from creeping into
your blood a little early. The
waves are still fun if you have
a longboard, but they can be a
bit frustrating if you are short
boarding it.

Fonts and Margins:
Do They Really Make a Difference?
By ROLAND ARIAS JR.
Pride Staff Writer
Putting papers off until the
last minute is something of a
standard for students in college.
Staying up until three in the
morning, scrambling for additional sources, and finally printing an essay 15 minutes before
class is nothing new to the average student. Many students can
say that they are guilty of procrastination. But when an academic paper's length is the concern, a common tactic used is
adjusting the fonts and margins.
Throughout my academic
life, professors have always told
me to use a "standard font" and
one-inch margins on all papers.
As all of my papers have always
been in Times New Roman, I
find it disturbing that other people in my class would submit
papers in the ever popular font,
Courier New, that would magically increase the size of their
papers by at least two pages.
While some professors want students to type in Courier New for
certain classes, most professors
state that they want papers submitted in standard font normally
in the size of 10 or 12.
In most academic writing,
professors request and average
of five pages for a regular paper.
While five pages is not a lot to
ask for, many students will take
the short cut of Courier New.
Even when looking at a paper
that is typed in Courier New
compared to a paper typed in
Times New Roman, there are
glaring differences in the size
and appearance of the text. For
students who turn in their papers
iri standard fonts, it can be disturbing to know that other students in their class submitted
papers in a larger font, which is
essentially less writing.
While using Courier New
and other fonts are popular methods of increasing paper length,
another is adjusting the margins.
As the. standard for academic
papers is one inch, changing the
margins even slightly increases
the white space in a paper. Even
as minuscule as changing a oneinch margin to 1.1 seems to
work wonders when typing a
paper 20 minutes before it is
due. Changing the margins of
a paper may increase the paper
length, but just like changing
the font size, it takes away from
more intellectual writing that
could have been in the paper
instead.
Given these tactics and other
ways of trying to make a paper
longer without actually typing
more text and ideas, one must
consider if using these shortcuts
are worth the effort. The tradeoff for using these methods
is including more analysis and
more writing that could only
better a student's paper. The
content of writing, not filling
white space on an essay, should
be the concern in academic writing.

New Bill Introduced: AB 634
AB 634 (Wesson): Five
year-old compulsory education
introduced 2/22/01 "This bill
would lower the compulsory
attendance age for entry into
school from 6 to 5 years of age.
This requirement will apply to all
children, whether their parents
plan to send them to public
school or private school [including private home schools].
Thanks to government "education", i.e. "socialization", i.e.
indoctrination, i.e. demonization of non-conformists (like
those who know government is
the cause of problems rather
than the solution), we'll have
5 year-olds shooting each other.
Those who survive will be even
more disillusioned, bored and

�College Changes You: Senior Experiences on Spring Break
By JEREMY ZAGARELLA
f or The Pride
College changes you. I had
always been told it but never
believed it until recently. Being a
senior at CSUSM, and with my
graduation quickly approaching,
I have recently been reflecting
on some of the more important
things that I have learned during
my short time of study. As Spring
Break approached I like everyone else I know was imagining
myself lounging around somewhere—anywhere—waiting for
the next hour to pass and trying
to think of anything but school.
While I was getting used to
the idea of just laying around the
house for a week-due to my low
funds—I received a call that some
could only dream of. The phone
rang; I picked it up. It was an
old friend of my brother's whom
I hadn't talked to in years. What
Dave proceeded to ask floored
me. After the expected small talk,
he commenced to ask me if I
would be interested in going on
a trip with him (expenses paid)
during my Spring Break. "Where
to?" I asked. "How does South
America strike you?"
"South America!"
In less than 24 hours from
that phone call, I was on an American Airlines 747 on my way to
Chile thinking this is the stuff
movies are made of. The scoop
was that Dave was taking a whirlwind trip to a remote tribe in
the mountains of southern Chile
in order to drop off needed medical supplies for a humanitarian
organization. Surreal is the only
expression to describe my feelings of disbelief.
Three days into the trip, Dave
and I found ourselves the guests
at a cultural ceremony of the
tribe that we were assisting. I was
better prepared for what was to
come than Dave. Dave had grown
up in a very ethnocentric home
where he had seen very little of
other cultures. He differed from
me in that he saw the South
American tribe we were with as
^others" instead of members of a
unique and varied culture with its
own history and heritage.
For years I have been
involved in varying ethnic/
cultural activities at CSUSM
including helping to organize
Pow-Wows with the Native
American Club, Aztec dancing
festivals, and even some native
African cultural displays that took
place on the campus. The respect
and knowledge of diverse cultures that I have gained through
this experience could never have
been received at another institution. During that Wednesday
morning, I saw the difference in
Dave, who did not have the privi-
lege of a CSUSM education.
As we sat on the far side of a
natural amphitheater in which the
ceremony was* to be held, the
sun was just coming up and the
condensation could be seen emanating from hundreds of mouths
in the gray morning light. The
amphitheater stretched about the
course of a football field, with a
small hill at the base acting as
a backdrop for both sound and
light. As the ceremony began, we
gazed intently. I was getting a
chance so few would ever get.
About 100 women came out dancing a soft and gentle dance while
holding young babies in their
arms. The women wore no coverings at all and neither did the
infants they held. At this instant
I noticed a distinct difference
between Dave and I—it would
be one of many through out the
ceremony. As the women danced
holding the babies, Dave got a
bitflushedin the face and started
to laugh. I asked Dave what was
wrong, and he began to make fun
of the women's nudity. Dave was
unable to look beyond his Westerri-American, social-economic,
culturally constructed taboos to
see the beauty of the women's
dance. Dave's insensitivity only
mounted as the ceremony moved
on.
The women would dance in
a vague circle as the onfookers
sang a gentle melody. One by one
the women began to move toward
a man tied to a horizontal log at
the far end of the amphitheater.
I hadn't noticed the man before
the dance moved his direction in
a lovely beat. Dave finally turned
to me and suggested that he had
seen enough. I could tell he was
disturbed by the natives' comfort
with being seen nude on stage. I
mentioned that his problem was
that he was seeing these people
through his own culture. If I
learned one thing in my two years
of Study, it is the foolishness
of judging any cultural practice
by my own culturally produced
taboos. I encouraged Dave to stay
but he insisted on leaving. Knowing I would be a fool to leave, I
stayed.
It is impossible to explain
the way I felt at that moment,
and sometimes it all feels like a
dream. As theflrstrwomenmoved
toward the man on the log, she
straddled the man and began to
have sex with him while still
holding the infant in her arms.
The act signified an open social
outlook on sex and rebirth that,
while it probably would have
shocked a more uneducated mind,
was refreshing to me. There was
no shame for these women as,
one by one, they all commenced
to straddle the man on the log and
have sex. I was reminded of one
of my professors who had just
weeks ago lectured on different
cultural constructs as it related to
sex. In his lecture he had mentioned how one culture could not
judge another's practice, as all of
our taboos are constructed by our
social and cultural concepts.
I noticed the singing in the
crowd got louder as the first
woman began to dance more and
more enthusiastically lifting the
infant above her head. I was taken
with the sheer grace the dancer's
moves. She moved quickly from
side to side in front of a large
triangular stone and all at once
thrust the infant's head down
upon the point of the rock. One by one the women would execute this rite after dismounting
the man on the log. Of all the ceremonies of the tribe, this was
its most sacred. I thought how
glad I was to have been through
my years of study at CSUSM
before coming on this once-in-alifetime trip. I thought how disturbed Dave would have been had
he stayed for the rest of the ceremony, and how insensitive Americans like Dave could be toward
other cultures. At that moment I
knew what all those people had
meant when they said, "College
changes you."

When I was walking out of
my class the other day, I witnessed an act that needs to be
addressed. As I approached the
double doors by the elevators in
University Hall, I reached out
to grab the handle and open
the door. To my amazement, the
doors swung open automatically. I stepped back just in time
to see an able-bodied guy with
. his step-out-of-my-way gait slip
agilely into the hallway.
Please correct me if I'm
wrong, but isn't there a handicap logo on the buttons that
control the automatic doors? I
was just wondering, because I
thought they were provided to

Student Leaders Honored at Ceremony
By VICTORIA B. SEGALL
Pride Editor
Student leaders from Cal
State San Marcos were recognized Thursday, May 10, during
the annual Student Leadership
Awards Night at the Rancho
Bernardo Inn. The host of the
evening was comedian Carlos
Oscar, who entertained more
than 200 guests, including staff,
their families, and students.
The evening began with
opening words from Dean
Manship, ASI President. The
first award presented was the
On the Spot Recognition Award
to Hedy Price. Vice President
of Finance Stephen Garcia
announced Michael Harrod as
the winner of the award for
the University Student Union
Advisory Board Student Leader.
Club leaders were also
awarded, including Circle K's
Olga Ramirez, the History Club's
Stacey Helton, Parent Teacher's
Tammy Rodriguez, The Pride's
Claudia Ignacio, and the
Victorious Club's
Rita
Reynolds.
Awards were also presented
to the American Indian Student
Alliance's Ronnie Whitehorse,
Anime Project Alliance's Penny
Lanese* ~ Ballet Folklorico's
Margarita Preciado, the French
Club's Anna Gabriele, the
German Club's Janet Williams,
and M.E.Ch.A.'s Izabel Solis.
Solis was one of few students who gave an acceptance
speech for the evening, directing her words to her club members: "I'm not going to say, 'Si
se puede,' because we know we
made all of our goals a reality.
Instead I'm going to say, 'Hasta
la victoria siempre.'"
The audience, who dined on
a dinner of salad, rolls, and
chicken and pasta, welcomed
"joke" breaks from comedian
Oscar during the two-hour long
awards ceremony. A video presentation also showed highlights
from past campus events, including Cesar Chavez Day and
SpringFest.
More leaders were recognized during the evening, including awards to the Accounting
Society's Jennifer Weishaup,

gual students with literacy needs
and language development.
Tutors are placed in the
schools to assist the students
with their studies and with college preparation. Currently the
SASOP has 60 tutors/interns
who work in 20 different elementary, middle, and high schools in
North County. All of the tutors
are CSUSM students, and Perez
added, "We are always looking
for more help." ^
One of the newest programs
that the SASOP is participating
in is the North County Outreach Symposium, or NCOS.
According to Perez, the NCOS
"brings all outreach services in
North County together to discuss
the types of programs currently
being implemented, to which
schools they are being offered,
and to explore potential collaborative efforts."
Another new program being
offered by the SASOP is the
LEAP program, which stands for
"Lets Encourage Academic Performance." According to Perez,
this program is a collaborative
effort with Fallbrook Unified
School District that entails
summer coursework taught on
campus by CSUSM professors,
in addition to that taught in Fallbrook. "The goal of this program
is to get the students to enter a
rigorous course of study," said
Perez.
Some of you may have
noticed the large groups of elementary students touring the
CSUSM campus recently. They
are part of the "I'm Going To
College" program offered by
the Student Academic Services
Outreach Program, or SASOP,
located off-campus in the medical plaza.
"The goal of our program
is to help underrepresented populations gain access to higher
education," said Dilcie Perez,
Assistant Director of the SASOP.

Cal State San Marcos recognized the community service
efforts o f more than 75 i ndividuals and 20 organizations i n N orth
County on Tuesday night before
a packed house at the C alifornia
Center for the A rts i n EscondidQ.
A mong those receiving recognition d uring the seventh
annual Celebration o f Service
was 12-year-old Gidget Schulz,
a sixth-grader at Park Dale E le• mentary i n Encinitas, who was
honored f or distinguished service.
For the past t wo years, Gidget
has been helping homeless c hildren through a charity foundation
called "Gidget's W ay" Using
donated money she receives f rom
the foundation, Gidget gives
teddy bears to the homeless c hildren i n N orth County.
" I used t o go d own to San
Diego and I w ould see the homeless people there and I w ould
c ry," said Gidget. " I thought
I w ould give away teddy bears
because teddy bears make me
feel secure and I thought i t w ould
give the homeless people security."
To help raise money, Gidget
made flowerpot pens and sold
them.
She now gets money
through advertisements and
donations to her foundation. She
also has some o f her friends help
i n her efforts.
" I t hink this has made me
a better person," Gidget said.
"One o f m y missions is to help
other kids do the same things I
do."
Other distinguished students
included Jessica M ichalkiewicz
o f V ista and C arli Zavaleta, a
CSUSM student.
Jessica aids kindergarten
kids d uring recess and shows students around campus. Zavaleta
is the director o f Precious C hildren's M inistry i n San Diego,
a volunteer-based, nonprofit program designed for children that
have been i n foster homes or that
have drug-addicted parents.
" I want to give back to God's
children " Zavaleta said. " I learn
f rom the kids. They are so f ull o f
energy and joy. Here they develop
s kills to help them cope w ith
what they are going through."
Zavaleta encourages people
to do what they l ike to do and
to serve others. " When you give
to others, you receive more than
what y ou have given them," she
said.
To a crowd o f honorees,
friends, and f amily members,
several presenters distributed
plaques that recognized students
i n a ll age groups for their community service. K GTV Channel

Dear Psyche Fairy,
I have a good friend who I am
attracted to, and would like to

relationship, and I'm not sure if
she's ready to date again. Also, I'm
not very sure that she is in any way
attracted to me. I would like to ask
her out, but I'm afraid that if she
says no, it will make our friendship
uncomfortable. What should I do?
Sincerely,

Dear Confused,
If you're worried about your friend
not being ready to date again, the
best thing to do is not rush her or
push anything on her. She'll need
time to get over whatever happened
in her last relationship. If you are
nature will take it's course, and
whatever will happen will happen.
Just be patient. But if you can't
handle the waiting, and you really
need to know, then ask her out. See
what happens. Whether the answer
is yes or no, at least you will have
the answer you've been stressing
over. The worst that can happen
is that you will get turned down.
If she's a true friend, she won't
let something like that make your
friendship uncomfortable. You
shouldn't either. Don't worry about
it so much, and just ask. You never
know what will happen. Good luck.

It seems ASI is a mock setting for students to get experience in business administration, except that they get to
play with real money that real
people worked hard to earn.
Although the money is real,
ASI can invent its investors
because nobody is involved.
A total of 245 students
voted in this year's elections.
Therefore, it is possible for ASI
to interpret that 287,750 of the
dollars they get to play with
next year come from nowhere,
because students don't care
about who spends their money
and how. If anyone has more

Writing Studies
By JEREMY ZAGARELA
While Queer Theory, Gender
Studies, Deconstructionism,
Marxism, and Cultural Relativism
are all subjects you will find discussed daily in the classroom at
CSUSM, it's obvious that satire is
not. Literature students can wax
intelligent on the nebulous theories of Foucault and the incoherent
ramblings of Derrida but fail to
notice formal literary genres and
historical facts. This fact was driven home to me after the response I
got to my article, "College Changes
You."
Anita Brookner wrote, "Satire
is dependent on strong beliefs,
and on strong beliefs wounded." I
have a radical proposition. Perhaps
the hours and hours of theory
you have been reading have really
sunk in. If Jim doesn't have strong
beliefs, then his beliefs can't be
wounded and satire can't exist.
Satire takes place when a small
breach in ethics is taken and
pushed to the extreme, making
it both hysterical and horrifying,
and if the murdering of innocent
infants by the hundreds doesn't
make you think, nothing will.
My story was fiction, but the
cultural sensitivity indoctrination
of CSUSM made it impossible for
most to see that. So join John
Lennon and imagine a world. Go
ahead: imagine a worfd with right
and wrong, objective morality, personal responsibility - go against
the flow and imagine a world
where language actually means
something and everything the theorists have been telling you actually means nothing.

Election and SpringFest Low Turnout
By TIM FARMER
Pride Staff Writer
During my first semester
here at CSUSM, I have heard
about the history of low turnouts for elections and special
events. Now that I am here, I see
the problem is not getting any
better.
Last week, we had our student elections t nd our annual
SpringFest. The SpringFest drew
just a few Hundred students, and
the elections only saw three percent of students vote. Unfortunately, I did not participate in
either activity, and I really don't
have many reasons.
One thing I suggest could be
a problem is insufficient advertising. The only way I found out
about SpringFest was by reading
a "Battle of the Bands" bulletin.
It stated that the bands would be
playing at SpringFest. Of course,
the original date was rained out,
but I didn't realize that until the
next week's issue of The Pride
came out.
The elections were almost
the same way. Every one running
for office had their "Vote (name)
for President," or "(name) is your
best choice." Two problems were
that there was little talk about
when the elections were being
held, and there was almost no
competition between candidates.
If there are two students running for the same position, there
should be bright, colorful signs
with catch phrases. It sounds
very much like high school campaigning, but gimmicks do work.
The least it will do is draw
attention, which is the first step
toward getting students to vote.
The main problem is that
students didn't vote or go to
SpringFest. This lack of school
pride makes me feel like I am
attending an extension school. I
am as much to blame, because I
did not participate in either event.
But I know that I should have
helped to redirect our school's
spirit. So on May 21st, at the
Battle of the Bands, I will
be there supporting our school.

Pride Staff Writer
Due to the growing size of
Cal State San Marcos, next year's
commencement ceremonies will
be held off campus. One venue
option is Palomar College.
Francine Martinez, Vice
President for Student Affairs,
said, "We are committed to doing
whatever we can in order to make
the Palomar Athletic Field feel
like CSUSM."
She added, "The Del Mar
Fairgrounds had been another
venue option, but unfortunately
those plans fell through." Martinez says she is optimistic that the
students will embrace this idea.
Mandy Tester, a CSUSM student said, "As a graduating senior,
I cannot imagine my commencement ceremony taking place at a
college I have never attended."
Another student, Holly
Sheets added, "I will be disappointed if my commencement
ceremony takes place at Palomar
because I feel as though all of
my college memories have been
made at Cal State."
Richard Riehl, Director of
Enrollment Services said, "We'
are looking beyond 2003, and
the University will be focused in
finding a permanent place to hold
the commencement ceremony."
This year's graduation, however, will be held at CSUSM's
Forum Plaza June 2-3.
Four ceremonies are scheduled during those two days for

Dr. Spencer A. McWilliams
has been selected as the new
Dean for the College of Arts
and Sciences. McWilliams will
begin work on July 27.
"My main goal will be to
maintain and enhance the strong
and capable faculty, high quality academic programs, and the
emphasis on close interaction
with students, while facilitating the continuing development
and growth of the college," said
McWilliams. "That will require
that I devote a good deal of

learning about the needs of the
faculty and the students. Thus,
my immediate goal will be to
listen and learn."
McWilliams comes to

Three CSUSM students
played "astronauts" for 10 days
when they performed zero-gravity experiments at the Johnson
Space Center in Houston. Don
Bennett, Jon Campbell and James
Garcia returned from the center
on April 11 after testing two
emergency airway devices in
zero gravity as part of the
Reduced Gravity Student Flight
Opportunity Program of NASA
(National Aeronautics and Space
Administration).
In order to take part in the
NASA program, the Cal State
students were required to create
an original experiment that could
be tested in zero gravity. They
competed against 300 schools
and were one of 14 teams chosen
to take part in the program that
allowed them to f ly in zero gravity 30 times in a Boeing KC
135 j et, which Bennett fondly
referred to as the t4vomit comet."
Campbell and Garcia, biology students, and Bennett, a paramedic who is fulfilling his premed requirement at Cal State,
chose an experiment that would
determine what emergency airway device would work best in
zero gravity. They tested the
standard Endotracheal Tube and
the new Combi Tube. Bennett
explained that the Combi Tube
is a breathing apparatus that can
be inserted "blindly," without a
paramedic or doctor having to
look while he/she inserts the
device.
When asked which of the
tubes worked better in zero gravity, Bennett responded, "It doesn't
look like there's much of a difference." The students hope to
publish their research, but their
findings must be peer-reviewed
before they can release more
information.
Bennett, Campbell and
Garcia also underwent

physiologic training while they
were on the jet. At one point they
took sobriety tests that required
them to take off their oxygen masks
for a brief period of time to see
how the lack of oxygen would
effect their bodies.
_ The team also toured NASA,
including mission control and the
Neutral Buoyancy Lab, which is
a large pool used for pre-space
mission training.
"It's a great experience," commented Bennett. "How ofteir do
people go up to NASA and do
research? It gives you the opportunity to do the whole scientific
process in a few months rather
than a few years."
The students prepared for their
experiment last semester after they
heard about the program from their
friend, Michelle Inzunza, a SDSU
student and paramedic. Biology
professor, Dr. Vicki Fabry, advised
the team, which also included
Inzunza, and Laura Elliott and
Gerhardt Koing, both SDSU students.
"This is a program that students at Cal State can do at any
time, and they [NASA] want to see
more people going," said Bennett.
"I want to encourage people to
look me up if they want to do
something like this."

Holocaust Survivor Mel M ermelstein

Mel
Mermelstein,
a
Holocaust survivor and Director
of the Auschwitz
Study
Foundation, was a featured
speaker on Wednesday, May
9, for Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall's
History 202 class.
Before
introducing
Mermelstein, Sepinwall asked
the audience to close their eyes
and imagine all the people they
loved. Then she asked the' class to
imagine their family "and friends
all killed.
"Imagine you were left all
alone, the sole survivor left to
ponder why you were saved,"
said Sepinwall. "Then to have
people say you imagined it all
and that you had to prove the
Holocaust happened or be convicted as a liar internationally."
Mermelstein wrote "By
Bread Alone," a metfioir of his
survival of the Holocaust and a
tribute to his family. In 1991 his
story was made into the film,
"Never Forget," starring Leonard
Nimoy.
"I could talk for weeks,
months, even years, and I could
never tell of the barbarism and
horror of the Holocaust," said
Mermelstein, a native o f
Czechoslovakia.
In
1944,
17-year old
Mermelstein, along with his parents, brother and two sisters,
were taken from their home and
sent to Auschwitz-Birkeriau, a
death camp. The words on the
entrance of the camp gates read:
"Work will make you free." He
told the audience about some of
the men, women and children
that died from the mass genocide.

By AMBER ZINSKY
Pride Staff Writer
In recent decades, science
has made it possible for infertile
couples to conceive, at least in
part, biological children. One of
the ways in which this is possible is by egg donation. The
donor's egg is fertilized with the
intended father's sperm outside
of the body. It is then implanted
in the womb of the woman who
is unable to produce her own
eggs. Some of the most popular
places to recruit donors are college newspapers, and CSUSM's
The Pride is no exception.
For over a year, The Pride
has been running an egg donation
advertisement that offers $4,000
compensation in exchange for
the eggs of female students ages
20-30.
Susan
Hernandez,
Program Director of the
Procreative Egg Donor Program
(the program advertised in The
Pride), recently increased the
compensation from $3,500 to
$4,000. "There's a lot of competition," said Hernandez.
Some students, however, said
they feel uncomfortable about
the advertisement. "I feel a little
uneasy about it being in the
school paper," said Rebecca
Silva, a student at CSUSM.
Student Health Services, a
medical resource for students at
CSUSM, has no information on
egg donations. "No one has ever
asked us about egg donations.
I'm not surprised that students
would know that [egg donation]
is not something in our scope
of practice," said Dr. Karen
Nicholson, Director of Student
Health Services. Some of the students' options for understanding
the medical risks and side effects
include consulting a physician,
soliciting information from the
egg donor program, and/or talking to someone who has gone
through the process.
Quincy
Sultzbaugh,
a
32-year-old student at CSUSM,
has donated eggs a total of five
times, but not for the company
that advertises in the school
newspaper. She donated for the
Center for Surrogate Parenting
(CSP).
The fertility drugs of CSP are
administered orally or by injection, include Lupron, Pergonal
and/or Metrodin. These drugs
are intended to increase the production of viable eggs a woman
yields per month. According to
Sultzbaugh, the medications also
cause a weight gain of four to
seven pounds, fatigue, soreness,
bloating and an increased risk
of osteoporosis and ovarian cancer. "It feels like my ovaries
are balloons-full and bloated,"
said Sultzbaugh about the side
effects.
When asked about the longterm effects of egg donation,
Sultzbaugh said, "We won't know
for several years. I don't care
when I see how much happiness
I can bring to [infertile] couples."
Aside from physical effects of
donating eggs, behavioral changes must be made. "It's just
like you're pregnant," Sultzbaugh
said, "No smoking, no drinking,
you can't have sex and you have
to sign a contract. If you violate
the contract, oh my God, I don't
even want to know what happens-it would not be good."
Since the fertility medication is paid for, either by the
fertility company or by the infertile couple, if the donor becomes
pregnant before the eggs are harvested or otherwise violates the
contract, she must reimburse the
company for the price *of the medication in addition to other penalties. The medication costs anywhere from $75-100 per ampule
daily, some days requiring up
to three ampules (a unit of measurement roughly equivalent to
a milliliter).
his father that he would be a
witness to the world of what
happened if he survived. Since
then, Mermelstein has educated
and reminded people of the
Holocaust.
The f ilm, "Never Forget,"
was based on Mermelstein's
battle against the Institute for
Historical Review (IHR). In
1978, the IHR had offered a
cash reward for proof that "Jews
were gassed in gas chambers at
Auschwitz" and to prove that
there was a Holocaust.
Mermelstein said he was
shocked by the IHR, especially
when the organization said that
his parents and siblings didn't
really die and that they were
living somewhere in Europe.
On August 5, 1985, Mel
Mermelstein received monetary
compensation
from
The
Historical Review and an apology for his "pain, anguish and
suffering."
Professor Andrea Liss of the
Holocaust Art class became tearful while watching the film.
"Mermelstein is an incredible
human being," she said. "My
thanks and my admiration for
his stamina to stand up to such
perverse actions of mass genocide. The extermination of family and to deal with it straightforEgg donation is also a fairly
lengthy process. Although each
program varies, the general
procedure includes completing
an application, which contains
photos of the donor as a child and
photos of the donor's children, if
she has them.

asked about
the consequences
of egg donation
"They like to see what they
look like-your own flesh and
blood," said Sultzbaugh. The
application also includes a questionnaire about the donor's likes
and dislikes, educational background and medical history.
The doiior profile is placed
in a donor album from which
potential couples choose from a
variety of donors. Once selected,
the donor undergoes a battery
of psychological tests. If cleared
by the psychologist, a physical
examination is done, including
pelvic ultrasound, drug testing,
genetic testing and an STD
screen.
If everything goes well, the
donor will start on Lupron, which
sends her body into a pseudomenopausal state so that her ovaries may be stimulated with fertil-

ward with such hatred is beyond
anything I can imagine."
History major Chris Leon
said, "It's great to have a primary
source about the Holocaust. I'm
getting my doctorate in WWII,
so any information is great."
Mermelstein
described
Holocaust survivors as no different than other people. One
question he said that they might
all ask, however, is whether
or not this genocide could happen again. He commented, "This
took place in a civilized world,
with people like us."

Instruction co-sponsored this

ity medications when the timing
is right. The donor then begins
an ovarian stimulation drug,
typically Pergonal or Metrodin,
which tells the body to mature
more than one egg. The eggs
are then retrieved vaginally via
ultrasound-guided aspiration and
placed in a sterile dish with the
intended father's sperm for fertilization. This marks the end of
the donor's responsibilities, and
what happens from here is up to
the recipient couple.
According to the Center for
Disease
Control's
National
Summary and Fertility Clinic
Reports of 1998, the "Assisted
Reproductive Technology (ART)
Success Rates," donor eggs were
used in 7,756 cycles, about 10
percent of all ART cycles. ART
deals with fertility treatments,
namely the handling of the egg
and sperm combination from a
woman or her donor in the laboratory and the return of the
sperm-egg combination to the
woman's body or her donor.
"A cycle starts when a woman
begins taking fertility drugs or
having her ovaries monitored for
follicle production," according to
ART. Five percent of the cycles
reported were donor eggs.
The 1998 report states that
"of the approximately 60 million women of reproductive age
in 1995, about 1.2 million, or
two percent, had had an infertility related medical appointment within the previous year .
and an additional 13 percent had
received infertility services at
some time in their lives."

Plagiarism Amongst CSUSM Students
By ROLAND A RIAS JR.
Pride Staff Writer
One of the pressures that
students face during college is
t he temptation to cheat. Like
all other college campuses, Cal
State San Marcos has its share
of plagiarism problems.
According to the Title 5
California Code of Regulations
Section 41301 and the University
catalog, p lagiarism is d efined
as, "Intentionally or knowingly
representing the words, ideas,
or work of another as one's
own in any academic exercise."
Plagiarism has many forms and
the use of technology has made it
more of a challenge for students
t o overcome.
Small class sizes and a relatively low faculty-to-student ratio
do not necessarily prevent plagiarism f rom happening. " Our
campus faces the same amount
of challenges combating plagiarism that other universities do,"
said Assistant Dean of Students
Tim Bills.
Statistics on plagiarism have
b een compiled regarding plagiarism on college campuses.

U.S. imperialism on notice
that we will no longer stand
by in silence while they
create barriers to divide us."
Ricardo Favela, MEChA
President for the San Marcos
campus, says he looks
forward t o more student
involvement in spite o f
CSUSM's
"conservative"
atmosphere. Favela said,
" There's a lot of things happening that, even though
we're at a university, we don't
know about. It's been said
that students are the ones that
promote social change. But
t hat's not happening here. I
can't explain why, but the
community is taking care of
itself."
Lupe Canseco, a junior,
said that as former MEChA
President at San Dieguito
Academy, she was not
exposed t o the common,
highly political issues faced
by A frican Americans and
Filipinos. " In prisons and in
schools, if we attack each
other, we're ignoring that we
share a common struggle,
and we create a space where
the system can continue to
control u s," Canseco said.
The coalition is made
up of five member organizations. The first t o report
at the conference was Mexicanos Unidos en Defensa
del Pueblo, represented by
Hector Muro. He described
the genesis of his group eight
years ago a fter a community activist was "beaten and
arrested by the Fallbrook
S heriff s Department."
According to
http://www.plagiarism.org:
• Almost 80 percent of college
students admit to cheating at
least once
• Thirty-six percent of undergraduates admit to plagiarizing
written material at least once
• Ninety-percent of students
believe that cheaters are never
caught or have never been appropriately disciplined
While there are some minor
instances of plagiarism that can
be addressed and f ixed with
proper citation of sources and
more knowledge of MLA and
APA format, the more severe
forms of plagiarism such as use
of the Internet and using other
students' papers are met with
severe academic discipline. In
most cases, incidents of plagiarism and academic dishonesty
are handled when the faculty
report the incident; the reports
and are also handled by Assistant
Dean Bills.
Bills said that there are many
reasons why students feel that
they need t o cheat. A mong the
many factors that drive students
to plagiarize are low self-esteem,
poor time management, poor
attendance, stress management,
looking for an easy way out,
avoiding academic or personal
challenges, and maintaining a
certain GPA for financial aid
or admittance to a graduate program.
Among these factors, however, Bills says that most students
that cheat are the B students who
are trying t o get an A, or A students who feel the need to maintain high standards. Students that
are failing the course are not
as likely to cheat, according to
Bills.
The use of the Internet and
technology has only made plagiarism easier. Web pages such
as http://www.cheater.com, http:/
/www.ezwrite.com, and h ttp:/
Avww.essaydepQt.com are j ust
some of the many websites that
provide papers for students.
Complete with footnotes and
bibliographies, students have
access to these entire papers at
the click of a mouse. The u se of
these websites however is heavily monitored by the university
and are easily picked off by faculty and the O ffice of the Dean
of Students. The university is
not oblivious to the mediums of
cheating that are available online. "Keeping track of Internet
sites that provides essays online
of the same concerns were
expressed by all of the groups
at the conference. Quetza

of the Barrio Defense Committee, a San Jose based

is a part of my job," said Bills.
Given the different levels and
methods of plagiarism, the sanctions of academic discipline are
relative to a student's infraction
of Academic Honesty. Depending
on what level of plagiarism that
a student is caught, academic
discipline can range f rom failing
a paper, failing a course, probation, to suspension f rom the university. Other consequences that
result f rom plagiarism are lost
trust of a faculty member and
a written record in a student's
academic file.
Bills handles most of the
cases regarding plagiarism and
takes more serious cases to a
committee for a formal hearing
should the situation warrant it.
According to Bills, t here have
been instances where cases of
plagiarism have b een handled
between the student and the faculty member, but there have
been occasions when the university has had to suspend and
expel students f or plagiarism.
"All instances of plagiarism are
a big deal," Bills said.
Most students think that the
university's low tolerance of plagiarism is effective in deterring
academic honesty. "I think that
the university's policy on pla-
giarism is good. People need
to either create their own ideas
or give the credit where it is
deserved," said junior and
Spanish major Estay Paulsen.
Even with the university's
policy on plagiarism, many students see incidents of plagiarism
around them on campus.
"I think the school makes
a large issue about plagiarism
happening l eft and right," said
junior and literature and sociology major Jeff Cudmore. "As far
as the students paying for their
education goes, they should have
sense enough to incorporate their
own beliefs and thoughts into
their work than t o steal someone
else's and not give credit unto
them."
As plagiarism is a part of
campus life, there are many
things that students can do t o
deter the need to cheat. "Before
thinking of cheating, t hink of
the factors that are leading you
t o cheat. Attack those problems
f irst before making a decision
that could have more repercussions that are serious," advised
Bills. "Be t rue to yourself, be
t rue to your values, and b e t rue
to your university. University life
is a time of moral and academic
development."

Talking with
Jeff Pollak of
T he Dealers
By LINDSAY BRADY
Pride Staff Writer
Jeff Pollak, a sociology
major and lead singer of the
reggae band, The Dealers, said,
"It is a great experience to
play in a band, but there needs
to be great dynamics between
all members. You got to have
a good time, not thinking of
money, but playing music that
means something to you."
I've heard Pollak perform,
and his vocal style can be
described as the style of Bob
Marley. The Dealers send out
an optimistic, energetic vibe as
they play, and I was entranced
by their passion in music that
flowed through them.
Pollak adds that The Dealers are up to caliber instrumentally and there are "amazing
vibes" between all the members. He says his passion to sing
began when his father cranked
up Motown and oldies music
when he was a child.
When he was 15, the root
sounds of Bob Marley, Jacob
Miller and Lee Perry were
added to Pollak's musical taste.
"There is something about
music that everyone can relate
Arts & Entertainment
to; there are chemicals inside
us that make us feel," he commented.
Pollak, who is both lead
singer and rhythm guitarist for
The Dealers, also plays with
drummer Dan Bradley; bass
guitar, Scott Peterson; lead guitarist Chris Lavigne; organist
arid clarinet player Brian Teal;
and percussionist Christian
Mills.
The Dealers say they would
love to be able to get their message out and expand. They also
agreed that it would be incredible to meet new people. Pollak
says he wouldn't mind making
a living at his true passion:
singing reggae.
For the time being, however, Pollak attends Cal State
San Marcos and says, he hopes
to graduate in the next semester or two in sociology. He
chose Cal State because he said
SDSU was too crowded and
because he just wanted to f inish school. When asked about
this musician's opinion of the
art on campus, Pollak responded, "I like the Cesar Chavez
statue, but I live 45 minutes
away, so I don't spend much
time on campus."
To find out more about
The Dealers, e-mail them at
iredealealers @hotmail.com.
Pollak also said that he
hopes people will check out
The Reader for more information on his band and encourages everyone to come see them
perform.

By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Staff Writer
Square Go is San Marcos'
most recent European invasion.
The local British pop band features the talents of four Palomar
College students: Scott Mitchell
and Scottish brothers Martin,
Gerald and Paul Coughlin.
"A Square Go is a oneon-one fist fight," Martin said.
The band has been together
for almost four years, so they
have done some growing up.
Martin explained, "When we
were younger, the name really
fit, we used to be a rowdy bunch,
but now we've mellowed out."
With their creative talent,
it's clear that all four guys,
before birth, snuck out of the
womb to play guitar. Square
Go began rehearsing together
in March 1997. They chose
the name Square Go from the
Scottish film, "Trainspotting."
The band is especially proud
that they have strong bass lines
and three songwriters/singers.
The sound of Square Go varies
depending on which Coughlin
brother is singing lead vocals.
They are real, everyday guys
who are out there having a
good time. They primarily sing
from three genres: rock, pop
and hip-hop. Some of their
inspiration comes from bands
like the Beatles, Rage Against
the Machine, Limp Bizkit and
Matchbox 20.
"Being in a band is often
times like a circus with all the
flashy lights, girls, parties and
music," said singer and co-song

Pride Staff Writer
If high drama, lost love, and
gruesome battles of yesteryear in
an epic tradition are your expectations of "A Knight's Tale,"
then this movie is not for you.
However, if action, f un and lightheartedness in a passable storyline with a good-looking cast
suit your tastes, then I encourage
you to see this film.
Upon arriving at the theatre
with a pocket of overflowing
grocery store candy, I prepared
for a not-so-exciting film with
an Australian heartthrob playing
a fresh-faced dim-witted youth;
this was not the case with , "A
Knight's Tale," which stars Heath
Ledger as the pauper-turnedknight William Thatcher.
writer Martin Coughlin. "Make
the most of life because it won't
last."
The members of Square* Go
are definitely entertainers.
Mitchell, in particular, stands out
in concerts with his trademark
shoeless performance and crazy
energy displayed between his
intricate bass playing. "The three
front guys are by the microphones, so they're limited in
their movement and the drummer is stuck behind his kit, so I
have to be more of the energy,"
said Mitchell.
In, between classes and jobs,
Square Go has made a name
for itself. With about 300 shows
to date, the band has performed
throughout California and in
Phoenix/ Arizona. They have
also self-released three CDs;
Different Skies and Sunshine
were recorded in the studio, but
their latest album, LIVE, has a
bunch of new, unreleased live
tracks that were recorded over the
past year. Fans can hear some of
their songs or purchase their CDs
on MP3.com or by e-mailing
Square
Go
at
squarego@hotmail.com:
Square Go is taking some
time off to write songs. They
will return to the studio later this
year to record a new CD. Watch
for Square Go this summer, they
plan to do several local gigs.
Thatcher, a knight's squire,
steals the identity of his boss who
dies during a jousting match. A
wayward writer, Geoffrey Chaucer (played by Paul Bettany)
forges papers of nobility for
Thatcher in exchange for food,
clothes and adventure. Together
Thatcher and Chaucer create
Ulrich von Liechtenstein, Thatcher's new knight persona. Thatcher
uses the disguise of the fictitious
Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein of
Guilderland and new armor to
compete in the famous jousting
games of the nobility.
After a series of successful
jousts, the youthful would-be
knight strives to win the heart
of the beautiful maiden Jocelyn
(played by newcomer Shannyn
Sossamon) and to become the
jousting knight champion.
Accompanied by Chaucer
and his two haphazardly comedic squires, Roland (Mark Addy)
and Wat (Alan Tudyk), Thatcher,
or rather Sir Ulrich, becomes
the best jousting knight. Well,
almost the best. There is one
opponent that stands in his way
of completing his trek to knighthood and the heart of Jocelyn:
Count Adhemar (Rufus Sewell).
The musical score in this
film is the most interesting part.
The opening scene is a medieval
stadium scene filled with peasants shaking their fists to Queen's
"We Will Rock You." Other
tunes that follow Queen's anthem
throughout the movie are songs
like David Bowie's "Golden
Years," Thin Lizzy's "The Boys
are Back in Town," and what
better music to get pumped for a
jousting match than War's "Low
Rider." Although this type of
music is not typical in this
genre of film, it blends quite
well and puts a relatively strong
youthful spin on an otherwise
dreary era. And as Sir Ulrich von
Liechtenstein says, "Welcome to
the new world."
"A Knight's Tale" wasn't
meant to be a f ilm dealing with
social issues or anything of a
serious nature. The heart of this
movie appears to be light and
f un, with a little cheesy humor.
It made this viewer walk out into
the bright light with a smile.
This movie is 132 minutes
and rated PG-13 by the MPAA
for action violence, some nudity
and brief sex-related dialogue.
Shannyn Sossamon, playing
Jocelyn, stars with Ledger.

California Roll Recipe
By MATTHEW REYNOLDS
For The Pride
A re you a college student?
Do you enjoy eating Japanese
food? If you answered yes, then
you should have attended my
Japanese class on April 30.
Students Serena Cohenour and
Mark Sablan revealed the secrets
on how to make delicious California Rolls during their class
presentation.
"My favorite part of the presentation was when I actually
got to eat the food," said student
Joel Wiggington. When asked
how it tasted, he said, "It was
definitely one of the best California Rolls I've had in awhile."
Student Jason Ubalde added,
"The process is quite f un and
short."
If you didn't already know,
the California Roll consists of
crab, avocado, cucumber, seaweed, fish eggs (sometimes)
and rice. The rolls can b e served
as a dinner or as an appetizer.
California Roll Ingredients:
Japanese Cucumber
Bamboo mat Salt
Rice
Sugar
Avocado
Vinegar
Seaweed
Sesame Seeds
Kewpie Mayonnaise (optional)
Smelt Roe (optional)
The first thing you must do
is wash and cook the white rice.
When the rice is done cooking,
mix in the vinegar, sugar and
salt into a bowl. If you like
smelt roe and mayonnaise you
can mix them with imitation
crab.
Slice the cucumbers and
avocado. Next, lay the seaweed
f lat and apply a layer of rice
covering the entire seaweed.
The layer should be a quarter
of an inch thick. Sprinkle some
sesame seeds on the rice, and
f lip it over.
' Place a little bit of the crab
mixture in the middle of the
seaweed then apply the slices
of avocado and cucumber on
opposite sides of the crab mixture.
Next, it is ready to be rolled.
You can do this either by hand
or preferably with a bamboo
mat. Now it is ready to eat. You
can dip it with soy sauce and
wasabi if that is your preference.
It may take you a couple
tries to master the California
Roll, but once you've mastered
this recipe, you will be the envy
of all your friends.

By CLAY BABER
Pride Staff Writer
Almost every seat w as taken
outside The Dome last Tuesday
as students and faculty gathered
to h ear the sounds of the
Australian didjeridu played by
Randy Graves. Graves and h is
band were invited t o play in
this concert series by Visual
and P erforming A rts Professor
Merryl Goldberg, and introduced
to t he audience by P rofessor
Bonnie Biggs.
Mellow sounds filled the air
as Graves and h is band played
an hour-long set that combined
the unique sound of t he didjer-
idu with melodies created by
other world music instruments.
Glenn Goodwin accompanied
Graves on the bass guitar, while
Tony Lazzaro played a variety
o f d rums and other percussion
instruments. Tony Karasek
added an unusual sound to the
p erformance as he played various instruments of India, including the sitar, t he tabla, the ghatam, and the dumbek.
Graves indicated that he h as
b een playing the dijeridu for
eight years and also gives lessons. The didjeridu is what he
refers to as "a drone i nstrument"
that is m ade f rom the t runk
of a eucalyptus tree t hat has
b een hollowed out by termites.
Graves played t hree d ifferent
t ypes of these instruments. He
explained, "each didjeridu plays
one note and has its own unique
characteristics."
L azarro said, " While we
have played together for years,
t his group h as only been performing together for three days."
Despite their limited experience
playing as a group, the band performed flawlessly for the duration of the performance. The
music ranged f rom' relaxing,
instrumental melodies, to more
upbeat, rhythmic selections that
featured f unky bass lines and
heavier d rum beats.
O ne of the more creative
segments of the p erformance
was what Graves refers t o as
"Story Time." D uring this segment, which he normally performs for elementary school students, h e told a story with
hand gestures while utilizing the
didjeridu to create the sounds of
d ifferent Australian animals.
Following the p erformance,
Graves and his band expressed
their gratitude for being invited
to play on the CSUSM campus
and took the time to display
their unique instruments t o curious audience members.

blend of Latin j azz."
Valle and Equinox played
selections f rom several of their
albums, including some f rom
their most recent release, Third
Voyagef which won the SDMA's
award for best blues or j azz
album in 1998. Jazz writer and
critic Jim Merod has called the
CD something that "hits artistic
course to avoid cliche and stereotype of any sort."
Their exotic, 6-string blend
of Latino j azz had several members of the audience dancing and
inquiring as to where and when
the band would be playing next.
W hile Valle and Equinox
have never played for a school
before, Valle said, "We're here
because we know Bonnie Biggs.
It's been a pleasure to come and

spending a semester exploring
Holocaust representation, the students were asked to design their

Instructor Dr. Andrea Liss
explained the class' focus, "We

killed by the Nazis and those
who survived, the ^millions of
people who were disgraced and
disrespected in the past."

This is the first year the class
has b een o ffered at CSUSM,
" The class c onfronts tough
and o ften despairing realities.
But it is not despair that I want
my students t o c arry with them
throughout and a fter the class,"
said Liss. " It's an awareness of
our blessings, in tandem with the
strength to reach out to others
d ifferent from ourselves, t o fight
racism globally and locally, and
to question misguided authority.
To b e aware that visual a rt is a
p owerful cultural, political and
spiritual force."
Along with viewing d ifferent
a rtists' works and watching films
representative of the Holocaust,
students attended the Museum
of Tolerance in Los Angeles and
also met 92-year old survivor
Cecila Silverstern. Student A nne
Carriker commented, " I highly
recommend that everyone go t o
the Museum of Tolerance. It is
deeply moving and well worth
your time."
Their artwork will b e on display all this week at the CSUSM

b eginning of the semester, and
yet they were confidently performing in f ront of an audience.
German professor Astrid Ronke
attributes this to the misconception that surrounds the German
language.
"Students believe that studying G erman is difficult and not
practical," said Ronke. "Tonight,
even b eginning students proved
this to b e untrue." The G erman
Theater-Evening showed students how f un and interesting a
foreign language course can be,
and h opefully dispelled certain
myths about the difficulty of the
German language.
While the German TheaterEvening was great entertainment, I found strong messages
sent to the audience and actors
alike: t he G erman language is
very much alive, and the knowledge of another language is an
important skill to acquire.
Professor Ronke has proposed to establish a German
minor at Cal State. The University's German program, founded
in 1997, has grown considerably,
according to Ronke, ,who also
says she feels it is important for
students to have the option to
minor in German.

number one. Everyone in the
department knows t hat Dr. Wang
can do anything—anything technical, anything high-paying. But
he selected teaching. While he's
leaving because of departmental
reasons, his 12-minute speech
brought attention to how little
computer science teachers get
paid. I mean, according to a
recent study, computer science
and engineering majors are the
highest paid in the industry.
However, our computer science
teachers are paid only half of
what they are paid at CSU
Fullerton.
While I hate to say it, it's as if
San Marcos has become a school
where teachers who have unsuc-
cessfully looked everywhere else
for a j ob have to settle for.
Travesty number two introduces another party to the picture, While I will refrain from
discussing who this person is, I
will let you in on the actions
of this certain individual. He
wrote a letter, one that has no
truth. He alleges in this letter
that Wang will only help if you
pay him; that Wang enjoys failing the majority of his class.
While it is true that Wang
has a reputation of being a tough
instructor, he is fair and equitable to all students; he realizes
the importance of a good education so we can compete with
those rich yuppies from the Ivy
League. Let me tell you, Wang
spent, from his own pocket, $500
per class per semester to help
his students. F-i-v-e h-u-n-d-re-d d-o-l-l-a-r-s per class. Wang
accepts no payment for help.
None.
But the allegations weren't
the worst part. This student
sent the letter to the governor
of California, the President of
CSUSM, and the Chancellor of
CSU schools. All this, without
even talking to Wang about his
problems. Once more, I emphasis that none of the allegations
were true. This is along the same
lines as accusing an innocent
man of rape. While there is no
truth to this, the victim is the
accused, and will forever carry
this shadow.
Thanks, unnamed person.
Thanks for stunting our educa-

It's 1:15 on a Thursday
afternoon, my class has just
ended and I have a two-hour
break before my next class.
Two hours of lab time to go
through all my notes and start
writing the first draft of one of
my research papers.
Welcome to the Open
Access Computer Lab in
Academic Hall (the only one
on campus). It has approximately 80 computers on a campus with 65 times that many
students.
Before his current position at
the University of Houston Clear
Lake, Dr. McWilliams also held
faculty and administrative roles.
"This experience has given me
the opportunity to develop a comprehensive view of higher education," he said.
McWilliams has also served
as the acting dean for Winthrop
University in Rock Hill, South
Carolina and worked as Vice President for Academic Affairs in
two small, independent colleges,
Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina and Naropa
University in Boulder, Colorado.
McWilliams was born in Oakland, California and raised in
Greenly, Colorado.
A line. Great, no problem,
I'm patient. I only begin to
seethe when half the people are
writing e-mail and three guys
gather around one or two of the
computers to check out chicks
in swimsuits and lingerie at
the Victoria's Secret website,
Couldn't they at least search
for cheap entertainment on the
computers in the new student
lounge? Oh wait, those are not
up and running yet!
I noticed the three computers in the student lounge during the first week of the semester. Is ASI trying to show-off
that they have loads of student
money to throw around by
ordering computers and leaving
them to decorate the room?
It's a real shame. We have
advanced technology and all
types of awesome programs to
work with, but the basic need
for computer access is lacking.
I complained to a lab monitor and he told me that I could
use any empty lab room. After
hiking around the campus, I
found one and typed up 10 minutes of text before the next CS
301 class began to filter into the
room. CSUSM needs another
Open Access Computer Lab.
When it comes to computer access, this school bytes.
After getting his associates
degree at Otero Junior College in
Colorado, he attended California
Western University in San Diego
his junior year and worked as a
clinical psychologist in the county
juvenile hall. A fter serving as a
counselor- in a residential home
for adolescents, Dr. McWilliams
worked as a research assistant
on a navy project studying behavior under stress and proceeded to
attain his BA from Cal State Long
Beach.
Dr.
McWilliams'
early
research and studies focused on
topics such as community mental
health and community psychology. Before acquiring his Ph.D.
at the University of Rochester in
tional growth. Thanks for taking away the quality edge Wang
strived so hard to provide his
students. In other words, thanks
for nothing.
So what now? I have no clue.
I had always wished that when
I graduate, he would hand me
my diploma, he would shake my
hand. Oh, he'll get my graduation invitation, that's for damn
sure. All I can wish for all of
us recently less fortunate computer science majors is good luck.
Seriously. For our dear Stanley,
we wish you the best.

Clinical Psychology, Dr. McWilliams interned in Veterans Administration hospitals and did his
dissertation research on the role

workers in the schools.
While Dr. McWilliams states
that his first task as new Dean
"will be to listen and learn," he
has plans for the College of Arts
and Sciences.
"I see a multiple vision for
the College of Arts and Sciences.
The College should also meet the

of students and the local community by offering degree programs that provide students with
the education and skills that they
will need to f ulfill their goals,
both in terms of employment and
personal development. In these
and many other ways, I see the

playing a major leadership role in
the life of the University and the

Cloudy Contract Negotiations Threaten Faculty Strike
By NATHAN FIELDS
Pride Feature Editor
The California State
University administration has
until June 30 to negotiate an
acceptable contract with the faculty union. If the union, the
California Faculty Association,
does not think the final contract
is fair, then students at CSUSM
face the possibility of losing their
instructors ifi a union strike.
Such a strike would remove from
the classroom the approximately
374 part-time and full-time faculties represented by the union
at Cal State San Marcos.
According to the North
County Times in its May 24
article, the executive board of
CSUSM's chapter of the union
authorized the use ofjob actions,
including strikes, in a resolution
adopted May 15.
Although there are still five
weeks remaining in the bargaining process, and the union may
Consultants
Needed for

Program
pursue alternative job actions
before striking, some students
are still concerned about being
able to take the classes they need
during summer session.
"If the professors strike and
I can't get the credits I need
in summer, this is going to
push my whole graduation back,"
said Tracy Kappan, an education
major.

San Marcos' union chapter,
George Diehr, said in April

Pride Opinion Editor
University students interested in teaching middle or high
school are needed as consultants to work with area students under the Collaborative
Academic Preparation Initiative,
also known as CAPI.
Dr. Dawn Formo, the program's Associate Director for
Literature and Writing Studies,
said at least 10 consulting positions are available, paying $9
per hour. The number of openings could double with the
approval of a pending grant
proposal. Academic credit is
also available. "The project is
a great way to develop teaching and writing skills. In addition, you'll build your resume,"
Formo said.
According to Dr. Madeleine
Marshall, a facilitator for the
program, the statewide project
is designed to "improve interface between high schools and
colleges."
Consultants work with students in six area high schools to
help them improve English and
math skills. One of the goals
of the program is to increase
scores on the Entry Level Math
and English Placement tests.
At the 4 semi-annual
CAPI conference held Friday
May 18, Mayra Gutierrez, an
administrator from Sweetwater
Union High School District,
said that in one of the district's
high schools only 12 students
passed both CSU entry exams.

Tribal Elder to Receive Honorary Doctorate
D uring Sundays Commencement Ceremony
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
Henry Rodriguez, known as
"Uncle Henry" to close friends
and family, will receive an
honorary Doctor of Humane
Letters degree from the
California State University system and Cal State San Marcos
during this year's commencement ceremony. Rodriguez will
receive the degree durmg
Sunday's 4 p.m. ceremony in
Forum Plaza.
When asked how he felt about
receiving the honor, Rodriguez
said, "I sure am nervous {about
getting the award]. It's quite an
honor. I am so surprised and I
don't know how to react, I just
hope I can do what I am supposed to do in front of a crowd.
When asked what you are supposed to do, Rodriguez said that
he wanted to acknowledge that
"you don't do anything alone. It
takes people to get you where
you are at and where you are not
at, good or bad."
According to Bonnie Biggs, a
Library and Information Services
Assistant to the Dean, Henry
Rodriguez is the first Native
American to be honored from the
San Marcos campus. Information
was not available in time for
this article on whether any other
Native Americans have ever
received an honorary doctorate
from the CSU system or any
other California State campus.
Bonnie Biggs, a friend of
"Uncle Henry's" since 1981, gathered the background information for the Board of Trustees
in order to nominate him, and
Professor Bonnie Bade made the
actual nomination. Bonnie Bade
was unavailable for comment.
Rodriguez, a Luiseno tribal
elder will receive the honor
because "Henry has been very,
very active and been a leader
both politically and socially in
the community for years. At 81
years old, [he has had] a long history of activism, and worked for
the betterment of not only Native
Americans but also everyone in
ment.
Ken Swisher, a representative for the Cal State system, said
that no work actions would occur
until a declaration of impasse is
officially declared. A declaration
of impasse means that both sides
declare no progress has been
made.
After a declaration of
impasse, mediation begins with

the community" said Cal State
San Marcos President Alexander
Gonzalez.
Rodriguez has served as one
of the community consultants
to Cal State San Marcos since
the university's inception. He
helped organize the University's
annual Pow Wow blessed the
commencement ceremonies, and
has participated in Indian graduation ceremonies, and in the university's time capsule celebration*
Since the 1940s, Rodriguez
has been a major contributor to
California Indian politics and is
a national authority on Indian
water rights. One of the founders of the San Luis Rey Water
Authority, he served as president and currently serves on
the Board of Directors. He continues to work with California
and United States federal authorities on environmental protection, repatriation, and health legislation, and was instrumental
in bringing Indian healthcare to
California reservations.
Rodriguez has served as an
important elder, helping to preserve indigenous California culture. In reel-to-reel tapes beginning in the 1940s, Rodriguez
captured traditional Luiseno
songs that Grossmont College
is currently preserving. He has
served as chairman of the La
Jolla Band of Mission Indians
and was instrumental in establishing the Southern California
Intertribal Council, now the
California Tribal Chairmen's
Association.
Rodriguez has been an active
proponent of Native American
Indian education. He helped to
bring Head Start to a number of
reservations and has served as
a board member and consultant
to a number of school districts,
assisting to develop curriculum
with more accurate representation of local Indian people.
Rodriguez has been a significant
activist in the establishment of
Native American Indian Studies

The Pride
Students Create Espacio Literario

Spanish students shared their
poetry and short stories on Thursday, May 24, during the University's celebration of the fourth
release of "Garabatos." The publication, Garabatos, is a collec*
tion of student essays, stories and
poems written in Spanish.
"It's a good, open literary
space where people can reflect
on culture," said Professor Carlos
von Son. Professor von Son, along
with Drs. Stella Clark and Mayra
Besosa and other professors in the
World Languages and Literature
Department also held two talleres

that enabled students to put their
creative writing to work.
"Some students may not feel

Board to mediate the bargaining
process. At this point, a period
of "fact finding" begins with a
team of three individuals, one
from the CFA team, one from
the CSU administration team,
and one from a neutral party
by mutual agreement. This factfinding team then issues a recommendation to the two parties
who use the report to come to
an agreement.
Diehr told the North County
Times that, "the chances are
more than 50 percent that there
will be some sort of job action."
The union began bargaining for a new three-year contract on April 17. The union
seeks to lower the student-tofaculty ratio, and increase the
percentage of full-time tenuretrack instructors per student.
Union officials say they feel
that, thus far, administration
proposals for the new contract
are unsatisfactory. According to
the North County Times, "The
union is arguing that the behavior of the administration at the
bargaining table has diminished
the quality of education in the
CSU system."
The implications of a strike
for the California State
University system as a whole
involve far greater numbers of
faculty. The statewide union
represents over 22,000 faculty
members on 22 campuses, and
all union chapters have authorized similar work actions on
their campuses.
Swisher told the North
County Times that, "We feel
confident that our faculty won't
abandon the students."

Each graduate in attendance
may also give thank you speeches during the ceremony. "Five
minutes long, if they wish," said
Balcazar.
She added, "And it's not
strictly for Latino students." This
year, the number of participants
for the ceremony has increased.
"We're very excited about this
year," said Balcazar. "In the past
we've only had 10 to 15 students
taking part, but this time we will
have 39 students."
La Raza Graduation
Ceremony is scheduled for
Sunday, June 3 from 5;30-10
p.m. at the Dome Plaza. "We will
have dinner, a mariachi band,
and a dance," said Balcazar.
The Latino Association of
Faculty and Students (LAFS)
first organized the ceremony
about four years ago, according
to Balcazar. This year
Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano
de Aztlan (MEChA) has collaborated with LAFS to host the
event.
La Raza Graduation Ceremony
In addition to the Cal State
San Marcos' traditional commencement ceremonies scheduled for Saturday and Sunday
will be La Raza Graduation
Ceremony on Sunday, June 3.
"It's more like a family celebration," said Yesenia Balcazar,
one of the coordinators for the
event. "It will give students the
opportunity to thank their family, with a reception afterwards."
The purpose of the African
American graduation ceremony
is to recognize students of
African American descent for
accomplishing their goal of graduating. The Thursday afternoon
event will feature an inspirational speaker and reception with
music and food, but the focus
will be on the graduates.
At least 42 undergraduates
and 10 teaching credential candidates will receive honors at
the ceremony. Cheryl Le Gras,
Director of College Success
Services, has been serving on the
committee for African American
graduation since 1997. She was
unsure if the tradition at Cal
State San "Marcos dates back
prior to that year.
Tiaca Carter,'a graduating
senior, expressed . the event's
significance to her graduation
experience. "I feel it is a special
ceremony because it specifically addresses black students
as opposed to a ceremony that
addresses all grads generally.
Blacks are going to face different
obstacles than other races and
need unique words of encouragement."
Black students who participate
in the African American graduations will still attend the university's traditional commencement;
the special ceremony is not intended to replace commencement or
separate students, according to Le
Gras.
According to Le Gras, the
ceremony will open with the
singing of the Black National
Anthem, "Lift Every Voice and
Sing." Dr. Phillip Rafael, head of
San Diego State's Community
Based Block, a Master's program that trains people to
become counselors in multiethnic schools and communities,
will be the guest speaker.
A faculty member will read
a short biography for each graduate, then present him or her
with a certificate and a Kente
cloth stole, draping it over the
robe.
The Kente is a traditional
African ceremonial cloth worn
by many African Americans
during important social and religious events in order to remember their heritage. Kente is
woven in a variety of patterns,
each expressing combinations
of significant values including
leadership, spirituality, responsibility and exceptional achievement. In some cases, a faculty
member will purchase a special
pattern of cloth to present to a
favored student in appreciation
for his or her unique qualities
and accomplishments, according to Le Gras.
Dean of Students Jonathan
Poullard will assist in presenting the Kente cloths. "I wish
for all black graduates happiness
as they step out into the world,"
said Poullard. "I wish for them
direction and a strong sense of
purpose. I hope that they recognize their accomplishment as
just one of many that will follow, and I wish for them a desire
to always strive for excellence
and equity in all that they do."
The African American graduation ceremony will be held on
Thursday, May 31 at the Dome
Terrace. Special graduation ceremonies will also be held to
honor Latino fy Latina students
as well as Native Americans.

�Pearl Harbor Wil
Live in Infamy
By J. RYAN SANDAHL
Pride Staff Writer
The Hollywood duo, Jerry
Bruckheimer and Michael Bay,
are back with their latest epic,
"Pearl Harbor," but this time,
it is not all about huge action
and mindless entertainment,
Executive producer Bruckheimer
and producer/director Bay have
managed to pull of this year's
stunning, must-see epic with
incredible skill and beauty that I
found myself wondering how in
the world these two could have
been the creators of the last film,
"Armageddon."
Filmed mostly on location in
Hawaii (at Pearl Harbor) and in
Rosarito, Mexico, "Pearl Harbor"
offers an array of visual and computer-generated mastery. Often
times it is difficult to pick
out what is shot live and what
is computer generated. Ben
Affleck, Josh Hartnett, and Kate
Beckinsale give strong performances and let's not forget Cuba
Gooding Jr., whose small roll as
cook Dorie Miller is played with
amazing passion.
The film opens with two
best friends, Danny and Rafe,
pretending to fly a crop-duster.
Some time goes by and now Rafe
(played by Ben Affleck) and
Danny (played by Josh Hartnett)
are fighter pilots. While getting

By NATHAN FIELDS
Pride Feature Editor
The Lyceum Horton Plaza
Theatre's high-quality production of Long Day's Journey Into
Night faithfully honors the work
that won Eugene O'Neill the
Pulitzer Prize in 1957. Running
over three hours, the play is a
long, winding, and emotionally
altering sojourn into, but not
out of, one family's dark night
of the soul. The comfortably
small theatre space, as well as a
Spartan use of music, lighting,
and costume, promises viewers
a unique intimacy and inclusion
with the cast.
Set entirely in one room of
gression of the four-scene work
chronicles the changing light of
one day and one night in the
lives of its characters.
Situated in 1912, the play
autobiographically encapsulates
the life of the O'Neill family
into one intense August day.
Not only do these intricate personas transcend the flatness of
the printed text by physically
representing the complexities of
O'Neill himself (Edmund), his
parents (James and Mary), and
his brother (Jamie), but also
the archetypal timelessness of
the characters, representative of
the unchanging human condition, arguably makes them fourdimensional.
The
immediate
living-breathing element of the
production is a perfect example
of what a well-done dramatic
interpretation adds to the printed
text. Ironically, after seeing the
play, one may wish to read it
in order to further explore the
dense poetry and thought that
flows so quickly from the performers' mouths. With excellent performances by the actors,
an intriguing plot, and genius
moments of levity in the midst of
hopelessness, this play is entertaining on any level even if one
doesn't catch all of the allusions
to Shakespeare, Nietzsche, or
the Bible.
O'Neill's laborious insight
into such themes as familial love
and hate, drug-addiction, death,
religion, self-delusion, and selfawareness acts as a catalyst for
personal reflection and reckoning. The Tyrone family also
makes disturbing commentary
on a state of the American family, which seems highly relevant
even 62 years after the play was
written.
Rich in dramatic, philosophical, and literary expertise, this
play is a must-add to any university student's repertoire. You
should, however, bring an extra
supply of energy and attentiveness, and prepare to be somewhat exhausted by the end. The
play runs until June 10.

Something refreshing is
coming to your radio stations
and portable disc-mans very
soon. This rejuvenation will^
come in the form of a new local
band called Myliye. Imagine
combining the musical talent of
old roots, zydeco, or folk players
with the crisp sound of groups
like The Dave Matthews B andthe end result would be Myliye.
Front man Donny Fausner
describes Myliye as a "kind
of a mellow roots-rock sound/'
This, definition becomes clear
with the sound and lyrics of
"Disappear," the f ifth track on
their self-titled album. Other
tracks include titles such as
"Time," "Free," "All I Need,"
and "Don't Fade" deliver immaculately tight transitions this listener has ever heard.
Myliye.. includes five very
talented musicians who bring
mellowness to a new level.
Catapulting a new spin on the
San Diego music scene, they are:
Donny Fausner (singer, acoustic guitar), Mike Fausner (electric, lead guitar), Brian Jirka
(bass guitar), Max Hickman
(drums), and Anthony Fausner
(percussion). Myliye has played
in numerous shows in San Diego,
including the Pacific Beach
Block Party.
Myliye is currently working
on another album; however, the
release date is not yet known.
So, students, keep your eyes and

Traditional Javanese royal
court and ceremonial music filled
the halls of Academic Hall on
Wednesday, May 23, during the
performance by the Javanese
Gamelan class. While the music
may be old in its origins, Gamelan
is still performed today in Java
and around the world by music
students and musical troupes.
A Gamelan is a wonderfully
diverse group of instruments that
includes drums, gongs, and xylophones with metal keys called
sarons, rows of covered bell
chimes, and a bamboo flute. The
set is beautifully crafted in dark
stained wood, and decorated with
golden dragons and gold leafing.
The gong set contains 15 gongs
of varying size and depth, each
capable of producing a reverberating sound that would fill the
entire classroom.
Wednesday night's performance began with a brief introduction of the two different
mM
musical scales that exist in a
Gamelan ensemble. One scale,
roughly equivalent to a major
scale, is the'"Slendro" and the
"Pelog" is equivalent to the minor
scale.
Professor Randy Griswold,
who teaches Gamelan, first
explained that the rhythm of the
music was very cyclical and that
a pattern would be easily distinguishable. The beginning and
end of each score is marked by
a large gong, which Griswold
explained is the way Javanese tradition pays tribute to the importance of the gong instrument in
their music.
The first song the ensemble
performed was "Jiro " from western Java. This song repeated over
and over in a very hypnotic way,
sometimes slowing or increasing
in pace, but always maintaining a
beat.
The second song, "Wilujeng,"
was from central Java and began
in a similar manner as "Jiro."
For this song, however, some of
the students sang a very melodic
Students perform traditionalJavanese music. (Pride Photos/Victoria Segall)
chant-like song. Another difference in this song was that the various instruments- began to take
turns dominating the sounds in
the room. After awhile the only
sound that remained constant in
"Wilujeng." The songs continued on for more then an hour,
and a mystical mood pervaded
the classroom, silencing even the
crying babies brought by some
members of the audience.
For just one hour, listeners
were transported back through
time and culture.
CSUSM's Gamelan musical
program began back in 1998 after
the school purchased a Gamelan
set directly from Javanese importers, and hired Professor Griswold
to teach the art to students,
Griswold began his own journey with Javanese music in 1991
while he attended UC Berkeley
as an undergraduate. After graduation he traveled to the island
of Java several times to intensely
study Gamelan music and-tradition. After several trips to Java,
Scotchgreens was the second band that performed at the Battle of the Bands.
The event was held on campus on May 21.

,
Battle of the Bands Draws Small Crowd
We did it again. Another
Associated Students, Inc. (ASI)
event, the "Battle of the Bands,"
was poorly attended last Monday,
May 21.
The performance, along with
an end-of-the-year barbeque, was
scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.
at the Dome Plaza, but at that
time the barbeque grill had just
been set up, the two bands were
nowhere to be seen, artd only 10
students were in the audience.
I decided to be patient,
walked around the campus for
a while and then came back at
11:30 a.m. By that time the first
band, Hornswaggled, was just
about ready to play. The barbeque was attracting many passers-by, who just ate and ran, such
as one unidentified student who
said, "You can't .pass up free
food!" He left as soon as he finished his burger.
Unfortunately, they all
missed a great show.
Sitting in the middle of the
patio, I felt sorry for Hornswaggled as they played a seven-song
set for an audience of 30-40 students. Hornswaggled has a raprock influence that is very popular today and reminded me of the
sounds of Papa Roach.
When they played some of
their older songs, their punk
influence showed. Their lyrics
touched on subjects, from the
high school shootings at Santana
to depression.
Afteir about 45 minutes of
pulsating riffs, it was time to
turn the stage over to the Scotchgreens.
Unfortunately, they were
running a bit late so their set
started a little behind schedule.
The Scotchgreens played a

music. They sound like they
mixed Johnny Cash with Social
Distortion, and it rocked. Unfortunately, there were more audience members for Hornswaggled
than there were for the Scotchgreens.
The most I Saw in the Plaza
for the Scotchgreens at one time
was 27 students—and that was
including the judges, the members of Hornswaggled and their
roadies. The crowd seemed a bit
taken by surprise with Scotchgreen's style, and many made
fun of it.
Subjected to a unique style of
music, the audience was caught
off guard, but the band continued
playing enthusiastically. When
it was all over, ASI voted on
which band would receive the
cash prize of $400 and a future
booking at an ASI event.
Hornswaggled easily won
due to the crowd factor and set-up
time. The Scotchgreens walked
away with $100 and consideration for a future event.
Griswold went back to school,
this time at San Diego State University, where he received his
master's degree and a job offer.
He was hired by SDSU to teach
Gamelan at the school and is currently teaching at both SDSU and

According to Professor Griswold, the Music 395 class is
still open for next semester..

Video Students Show Work

Kristine Diekman's Visual
and Performing Arts students
(VSAR 303 and 304) held their
end-of-the-year video show last
Monday night in CSUSM's
Visual and Performing Arts
Annex. Students showcased videos, music and streaming video
to a group of 60 faculty, students arid guests.
From narrative to documentary videos, the show was very
broad in the range and diversity
of pieces. Ricardo Favela performed a rap song titled "Manifesto," which was an "expression
of Chicano culture and what is
going on in their communities,"
according to Favela.
"I think it's great that teach-
ers are so enthusiastic about the
work," said Jay Trussel, a VSAR
student. "It's not like an essay
you turn in, it's more work than
that and it is very rewarding
when the semester is over."
Trussel showed excerpts
from his full-length feature narrative, "The Night Life," which
premieres Tuesday, May 29, in
ACD 102 at 7 p.m. "The Night
Life" is a part biographical,
part fictionalized story about
Trussel's life.
Other entertaining narratives included "Night of the
Bloodsuckers, Part 2" by Albert
Rascon, and "Ordinary Horror"
by Jesssica Sowa.
"This has been a fun class
to work with," said Kristine
Diekman. "I am very proud of
their work."

O utraged at O ff C ampus Progress Requires Student Involvement
G raduation Plan
I just finished reading about
the possibility of next year's
graduation being held off campus and frankly, I am outraged
at the fact that they would
even take this into consideration. Like Mandy Tester said,
"As a graduating senior, I cannot imagine my commencement
ceremony taking place at a college I have never attended."
We, students, have worked
too long and too hard and come
very far to be bumped to a
community college venue for
graduation. The whole point of
going to a four-year university
was to graduate from a fouryear university. If I wanted
to graduate from a community
college, I would have stayed at
Mesa College.
I understand the concerns of
the growing student population
and not being able to accommodate everyone, but I can assure
you that if CSUSM decides to
hold the graduation ceremonies
they won't have to worry about
having too many students to
deal with.

If they intend on us holding
our commencement ceremonies
on an athletic field, then why
can't we hold it on our own
track field. Many other universities do i t and even many high
schools. Why should we go all
the way to Palomar's Athletic
Field when we have one of our
own?
I'm sure many students
would be willing to make some
sort of contribution to a fund if
that meant that we could graduate from our own university.
The university can also consider
selling extra tickets to the ceremonies if students want more
than the pre-given amount. I
think that before any decisions
are finalized, the students need
to be given the chance to at least
offer up some suggestions.
I hope every option will be
taken into consideration about
keeping the commencement ceremonies here on campus before
shipping us off to other "venues".
Sincerely,
Adrienne Gazan

Looking back on the opinion
section of The Pride for this
semester, I see it was filled
with rambling complaints and
students attempting to undermine the University's reputation. Aside from a few satiric
pieces about campus life and
mild attention to ethics, the
opinion section was a forum
for student bitching; I myself
among the contributing authors.
As I left class on Tuesday
night, the stress of my final
assignments and the pressure of
the impending semester's end all
weighing on my mind, I paused
for brief moment of reflection.
I took a deep breath and
sat down on the west side of
University Hall. Through the
slightly hazy evening sky, I
watched the sun drop beneath
the hillside out toward the ocean.
At this point I realized that no
matter what problems exist at
this university they can all be
rectified, but it takes student
involvement. It is very easy to
point out flaws, but progress
takes action and agreement. The
community members need to
open their minds, because the
events we experience today will
eventually become the topics
of tomorrow's class syllabi,
"No matter
what problems
exist at this
university they
can all be
rectified, but it
takes student
involvement."
Many things have changed
in the few short months of this
semester. We saw a major change
in the powers that govern at
the presidential level. We saw
students in local high schools

students shot and killed. We sa\#
young children sentenced to life
in prison. We saw the conclusion
and the effects of the 2000 census. And we saw ourselves grow
in accordance with our personal
interpretation of these events.
Now we should realize
the privilege and responsibility
that are bestowed on each and
every one of us: the privilege of
attending an institute of higher
education, and the responsibility
to get involved with the issues
and decisions that effect us all.
Perfection is something
to strive for, not something to
expect. Cal State San Marcos
is in the beginning stages of
becoming a great university, but
it takes support from all factions
of the community to achieve
such a goal.
At some point in the near
future, take a few moments out
of your busy schedule to realize
that we get to attend a quality,
state funded university in beautifully sunny and warm San Diego
County, a place where most students can only dream of living.

Soccer Team Looking for a Few
Good Men and Women
CCassifiecCs
BY CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Staff Writer
Two years ago Cal State San
Marcos students began a soccer club
on campus, which has now become
an intramural sport team of ASI
(Associated Students, Inc.). Due to
lack of funds, the soccer team is currently unable to play at the NAIA level
(National Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics), the current level of such
teams as track and field and golf.
Every student athlete playing an
intramural sport pays $100, which pays
for the coaches, facilities, equipment,
travel expenses and uniforms. All student athletes also need their own accidental insurance.
. "I never expected it to be so
much work, it takes so much time and
dedication," said Antonio Zepeda, former captain and founder of the team.
Student Randy Erman, who tried to
start a soccer team four years ago, said
he wondered why the University has
had a "freeze in sports."
Erman said that President Gonzalez
had promised to incorporate more
sports and Erman wonders why there
is no N A I A recognized soccer team.
"It is a very interesting case
because soccer is one of Southern
California's most popular sports and
there are many students who are interested and have great talent," said
Zepeda. "I know of students who have
chosen other colleges because of our
lack of a soccer program.
Last season the team said they
faced some problems and misunderstandings with the university, such
as being unable to place field goals
on the track. This year, however, the
field goals are on Mangrum Track
and the team says there may be the
opportunity for home games to take
place this year.
"I am really excited about this
upcoming season," said student and
soccer player Manuel Maldonado. "I
hope that we can have home games
so that people can come see us play
and the university can take us more
seriously."
As of now, ASI serves as the connection between the soccer team and
the university. "They have been helpful, but they are limited on what they
can do," said Zepeda.
Recruitment plays an important
role in intramural sports. The Softball
team, for example, needed 12 people
in order to be established. They had
12 players at the beginning of the
semester however, a couple people
dropped, so they were unable to meet
the intramural requirements.
The soccer team, as of May 18,
had 14 members, but they need more
players. "I recruit members one-byone in classes, hallways, anywhere I
go," said Zepeda.
Zepeda also recruited Coach
Khaled-al-Shafie who has been with
the team since its inception. Coach
has volunteered his time, since 1999,
but now he gets a small stipend for his
coaching. "He does not do it for the
money," said Erman. "He has coached
at San Pasqual High School, Vista,
and other places, and he is climbing
the ladder for the USSF (United States
Soccer Federation)."
"We still need more players," said
Coach Khaled-al-Shafie. "This season
has a lot to o ffer"
Soccer season begins in the middle
of August and ends in November. The.
team meets every Friday at 11:00 a.m.
for practice. Those who would like
more information on the team are
asked to contact Susana Gonzalez in
the ASI Office at (760) 750-4990.

Cinco de M ayo Celebration Held on C ampus M ay 2 nd
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Staff Writer
For the third year in a row,
Cal State San Marcos celebrated
Cinco de Mayo. The event, however, was celebrated,on May 2
in collaboration with Associated
Students Inc., MEChA, Assistant
Dean of Students Tim Bills, and
Ballet Folkl6rico Mixtlan.
"Since Cinco de Mayo was
on a Saturday, we decided to have
the event on Wednesday so that it
would attract more students," said
Yesenia Balcazar, current dance
instructor for Ballet Folklorico.
The event attracted approximately 80 students, faculty and
staff. "It was a very colorful,
beautiful representation of the
culture," said senior Mary
Bernard.
The program included singing by El Chute, Balcazar's dad,
and her sister, Norma Balcazar.
"I have been singing professionally for five years," said Mario
Balacazar, El Chute. "I introduced my daughters to this environment when they were little.
Now I am very happy to see
them perform."
Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan, a
dance troupe, performed dances
such as La Bruja,
La Bamba from
Veracruz, and the
well known Jarabe
Tapatio, el Sol de
la Negra and Los
Machetes.

is made up of nine
members; half of
them are Cal State
San Marcos students and the other
half from the community.
A main speaker for the event
was
Ricardo
Favela, president
of MEChA. He
told his personal
story of how his
parents bought a
mariachi suit for
him when he was
in
elementary
school.
"When
Cinco de Mayo
came around they
told me to put on
the mariachi suit."
He was expected
to wear it to school
and was the only
one of his classmates who celebrated the day at his
school. "I was very
ashamed that I was
the only one . .. but
today I stand here
very proud to celebrate Cinco de
Mayo," said Favela.
Cinco de Mayo is
not Mexico's independence
day,
which is celebrated
on September 16.
"Cinco de Mayo is
a celebration of a
battle in which the
French army was
attempting
to
invade Mexico/It's
a day in which Mexicanos united
and organized to defeat the most
powerful, foreign enemy. This
is why it's such a significant date
for Mexico and for our people,"
said Favela.
"It is a very important event
to remember, being that we are
so close to Mexico. We need to
appreciate the significance that it
has to the Mexican community,"
said junior Angela Magana. "It is
also a good way to preserve culture."
Sophomore Ana Gabriela
added, "I was glad that they
clarified why we acknowledged
Cinco de Mayo. Furthermore
it is also a great cultural experience for our campus, it shows

CSUSM Welcomes
New Director of
Registration & Records

New Water Tank Saves Energy
By CLAY BABER
Pride Staff Writer
While walking to your car,
you may have noticed the new
water tank being constructed
near the parking lot. According to
Russell Decker, CSUSM's Director of Planning Design and Construction, the tank is called a
"Thermal Energy Storage or TES
tank." This TES tank is designed
to hold a large capacity of chilled
water that will be used by the air
conditioning units on campus.
The construction of the TES
tank is in response to the current
energy crisis in California. "The
tank adds capacity to our cooling system; therefore, we do not
have to r^n our chillers during
the day when electricity is most
costly," said Decker.
According to Dave Dennis,
Assistant Director of Planning,
Design and Construction, "once
the tank is completed, over one
million gallons of chilled water
can be stored." This water is
chilled at night when the electricity rates are lower, thus providing an alternative to the current process of operating the
chillers during the day.
"CSUSM
has
received
$875,000 dollars from San Diego
Gas & Electric to offset the $2
million dollar construction costs
for the TES tank," said Decker.
This grant is provided because
CSUSM is taking steps to reduce
the demand for energy during the
peak mid-day hours. According
to Decker, "the remaining con-
struction costs will quickly be
made up in saved energy costs."
Decker also added, "The stored
water could also be useful in the
event of an emergency such as
an earthquake or fire."
"Construction was initially
scheduled for earlier this year,"
explained Dennis, "but the heavy
rains delayed everything for
about two months." Chicago
Bridge and Iron, of Clairemont,
began construction of the 80by 40-foot tank three weeks
ago. Foreman Paul Tackett said
that the structural work should
be completed within a week.
According to Dennis, additional
work such as insulation, piping
and painting the TES tank
pushed the projected completion
date into early August.
Enthusiasm, energy, and a
customer-service background
are key traits that Martha Ann
Haney brings to her new job
as Director of Registration and
Records. One of the main goals
in her position, Haney said, is
to serve the students.
"The school is growing so
fast and has some wonderful
goals," said Haney about her
impression of the university.
Haney added, "I'm so excited
to be a part of it." She said
her transition to CSUSM, which
began May 1, has been incredibly smooth since everyone has
been very helpful towards her.
There are nine staff members
that Haney oversees.
The New Jersey native
brings her experience in the
field of college student records
to Cal State. Haney worked as
Registrar at Marie College in
San Diego for six and . a half
years. Prior to that she worked
for three years at Coleman

SpringFest Arrives at Cal State:

their Second Annual SpringFest

Caribbean carnival, live music,
a f un run for kids, and games
andfood.
Last month, a morning storm
brought hail and rain out to the
SpringFest, originally scheduled
for April 21. Last minute cancellations hurt ASFs budget for the
festival.
"Trying to be prepared, we
had [the] Facilities [department]
set up everything the night
before. We had a huge stage, a
canopy and all the bathrooms set
up already," said Brad Schmidt,

When rain struck, CSUSM facilities staff and ASI members
scrambled to bring the valuable

indoors,
Although the total bill for rentals
and labor has not yet come in,
Schmidt said, "It was a pretty
good hit."
With a little adjustment,
including a smaller stage setup,
ASI was able to reschedule the
event, keeping the original
line-up of events nearly intact,
"We are working with student
funds, so we try to be as thrifty
as possible," Schmidt said. One
feature, the Battle of the Bands,

were unavailable on Saturday,
Probably the most anticipated
attraction was the Caribbean Carnival. The Trinidad-style carnival reenactment was researched,
produced and performed by Professor Loni Berry's theater arts

The Pride
Founders of Chiapas Media Project Present Films
By NATHAN FIELDS
Pride Feature Editor
Alexandra
Halkin ajid
Francisco Vazquez, founders of
the Chiapas Media Project, presented three indigenous community-made films to a full auditorium in ACD 102 on Thursday,
May 3.
Professor Anibal YanezChavez introduced the presentation, explaining that the Chiapas
Media Project "is a bi-national,
US-Mexico partnership that provides video equipment, computers and training, enabling indigenous communities in southern
Mexico to create their own media
and tell their stories from their
own perspective."
Before and after the showing
of the three films, "Sacred Land,"
"Silence of the Zapatistas" and
"Defending the Forests," Halkin
' and Vazquez spoke on the work
of the media project that began
in 1998. The films document,
respectively, the plight of the
landless indigenous farmers in
Chiapas, the Zapatista's negotiations with the Mexican government, and deforestation in the
state of Guerrero by transnational corporations dating back
to the 1950s.
Halkin, a native of Chicago
who has a background as a
video producer, said, "We did not
create these films. These films
came directly from the indigenous communities. We only provided them the equipment and
taught them how to express themselves through it." She explained
that the idea for the project first
occurred to her when working
on a documentary in Chiapas
in 1995. Finding herself working repeatedly in areas with hundreds of news camera crews, she
noted that she "could see that
the indigenous people were very
conscious that their images were
being recorded and taken away."
"I realized that this has been
the most documented indigenous movement in the history of
the world," said Halkin, "and it
amazed me to think that these
people had no, access to the necessary equipment to tell their
own stories. And they need to tell
their own stories because we cannot just depend on white people
to go down and represent these
indigenous communities accurately."
Halkin began speaking with
numerous groups and organizations, including the US-Mexico
Fund for Culture, that supported
her first efforts for indigenous
self-representation in a 1998
media project involving youth
from Chicago, Mexico City and
Oaxaca. The project documented
14 days within the community of

Morelia, Chiapas. "The capacity
to produce videos in Morelia
empowered the indigenous community to present their own view
of themselves both nationally and
internationally," said Halkin.
Vazquez, a native of Mexico
City, met Halkin during the 1998
Chiapas Media Youth Project and
moved to Chiapas two years ago.
He explained how the process of
making the films begins and ends
within the communities' governing assemblies and mirrors the
highly democratic forms of consensus governing that Zapatista
communities are respected for.
Subject matter for the films is
generated within the assemblies
and the finished films are offered
to the communities for review
and possible alteration before
they are distributed or shown
publicly.
Singleton Bridget Jones Decides to
Take a Turn at Living Life
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
I rarely get the chance to rave
about a f ilm, primarily because
most films nowadays are just
mediocre. One thing is for certain: "Bridget Jones's Diary"
is splendid. From a fantastic
script, to impressive actors, this
film easily could have turned
into another mushy romance, but
escapes mediocrity because of
the brilliant wit that exudes from
all of the characters.
What one might notice first
abut . this spectacular film is
Renee Zellweger's stunning performance as Bridget Jones. She
not only pulls off a convincing
British accent, something that
other Americans (such as Kevin
Costner) fail at miserably, but
also her character is not perfect.
Bridget Jones smokes too much,
drinks too much and babbles
incoherently under pressure; yet,
Zellweger charms not only the
audience but also, two very attractive bachelors, played by Hugh
Grant and Colin Firth.
What is refreshing about
Grant's character, Daniel Cleaver,
is that he is a jerk. Women
always fall in love with Grant's
characters because he always
plays a sweet, lovable man. In
"Four Weddings and a Funeral,"
he played a commitment-phobic
man but managed to make the
audience love him for i t In a
reversal of emotion, in "Bridget
Jones's Diary" we easily resist
Grant's charms knowing that
he not only shies away from
commitment but also hurts our
beloved Bridget Jones.
Then there is Darcy, played
by Firth. Not unlike the hard-tolove Mr. Darcy of "Pride and
Prejudice," Mark Darcy is a
brooding, quiet man. The first
time I saw the film, I almost
wished that Cleaver would
become a nicer guy and get the
girl because Darcy just seemed
too much of a prude. The second
time I saw the film, however, I
began to fall in love with Darcy's
soft-spoken eloquence and kind
generosity that he showers onto
Bridget Jones.
Jim Broadbent plays the sad
sack dad of Bridget, and is
soon to star in the upcoming
film "Moulin Rouge." Between
Broadbent and Gemma Jones
(Jones's mother) it becomes
apparent why Bridget is so odd
yet wonderful. Both Broadbent
and Jones breathe new life into
what easily could have turned
into a generic storyline. Her parents, being Bridget's role model
for relationships, are frightening
at first, but then when they are
able to work their own problems
out, it becomes clear that, at least
in this film, love wins.
The group* including Tim
Bevan that produced "Four
Weddings and a Funeral" and
"Notting Hill," also produced
"Bridget Jones's Diary." When I
first heard that, I almost turned
away from watching this film
because I could not handle another perfect romance with Hugh
Grant as the gorgeous dream man
who elegantly stumbles over his
words. Luckily, this film shies
away from the romantic comedy
norm and embraces its own
feminist style while being a
unique version of "Pride and
Prejudice."
According to the Internet
Movie Database (IMDB), "aside
from bearing a resemblance to
Jane Austen's 'Pride and
Prejudice,' the film also features
a number of veterans of Austen
film adaptations." Screenwriter
Andrew Davies also, wrote the
screenplay for the 1995 film
"Pride and Prejudice."
Hugh Grant and Gemma
Jones both appeared in "Sense
and Sensibility." Colin Firth, who
plays Mark Darcy, played Mr.
Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice."
Also according to IMDB, in
the film "Daniel Cleaver (Grant)
and Bridget Jones (Zellweger)
work for Pemberley Press.
Pemberley is the name of
Fitzwilliam Darcy's estate in
"Pride and Prejudice."
Helen Fielding, executive
producer and co-writer of the
screenplay, also wrote the original novel about a 32-year-old
woman who discovers that being
herself—is the true path to
romance.
Vazquez continued by saying that, "These people have to
work as farmers during the day
and fit time in to create films
after their crops are tended to.
For this reason, we end up with a
self-representation which is really authentic and very unique."
Vazquez explained that the
media project was crucial
because "the way in which the
mainstream media is presenting
the lives of these people is full of
misunderstandings and lack of
information. This is because the
corporate media is not interested
in what is really happening; they
are interested in profit. That's
why it's important for the indigenous to be able to tell their
own stories, and for us to make
an equal effort in reaching audiences. Otherwise their efforts
would be useless."
"It is our duty to help get this
technology and training to these
people specifically because they
are unrepresented," said Halkin.
"In order to have real democracy and discussion in this world,
everyone has to have access to
this technology. We should all
be represented and be on a level
playing field," she continued.
The project remains financially challenged explained
Halkin, who passed around a
donation bag at the presentation
and displayed videos, indigenous
handicrafts and clothing for sale.
"I mean, no foundation will give
me funding to give cameras to
Zapatistas."
Since 1998, Halkin reports
that the Chiapas Media Project
has provided countless hours of
training, 50 digital video cameras, three VHS linear editing systems and a fully-outfitted media
center in San Cristobal de Las
Casas, Chiapas to the indigenous
peoples of Mexico.
The presentation of the
Chiapas Media Project and their
films was sponsored by
CSUSM's Center for Border and
Regional Affairs and was made
possible in part by the university's Global Affairs Committee
and the Visual and Performing
Arts Department.

What is wonderful about
films is how you can relate to
the main character. As a single
woman, this film refreshes my
spirit because Bridget Jones is
a regular person. Unlike the perfect archetypal female in most
romantic comedies, she screws
up a lot. This gives me hope that I
too can find someone like Darcy
who, after reading in Bridget's
diary that she hates him, goes
out and buys her a new diary
to start their relationship over.
"Bridget Jones's Diary" is playing now in theaters and is rated
R by the MPAA for language
and some strong sexuality.
t h e Web Site
Films rarely come out these
days without some package deal.
"Bridget Jones's Diary" is no
exception.
On the official web site
at http://entertainment.msn.com/
bridget, those singletons who
cannot get enough of the movie
can enjoy trailers, sound bites,
pictures, biographies and all the
generic rubbish that goes into
a film web site. However, the
c&gwf
standard was not quite enough
for our Ms. Jones, so included in
the site are a list of quotes from
famous single women, and a
fun personality quiz that answers
"How Bridget Jones are You?"
There are also "Bridget's
Britishisms" explained, which
was quite useful since I still had
no idea what a "tarts and vicars"
party really meant after seeing
the film twice.
t h e Soundtrack
I am a soundtrack junkie. I
will buy soundtracks of films
I hate because the music is so
good, and I often make the mistake of buying a soundtrack to
a film I love, only to discover
I do not love the soundtrack.
Right after the first time I saw
the film, I bought the music. The
soundtrack is just okay. It does
have some great covers from
Sheryl Crow and others, but just
does not have the energy to keep
up with the great memory of
the hilarious film. However, it is
good music but doesn't quite capture the true essence of Bridget
Jones.

After a long season, the men's
golf team showed some cougar
power, t he men's golf team
won the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) Western Regional tournament on April 26 at the Black
Horse Golf Course in Seaside, a
54-hole event on a 6,593-yard,
72-par course.
"Last year, we won the NAIA
regional," said head golf coach
Fred Hanover, "This year, I look
for my team to play at or near
their potential."
Prior to the regional, NAIA
ranked the men's golf team sixth
in the nation. The team said
that every tournament that they
played prepared them for the
challenges and competition they
faced at the regional. Now, as
they prepare for the nationals,
they will work as a team to bring
home the trophy. "We have an
excellent chance to win, if we
play well," said Brett Dolch, who
led his team as the top individual
player (223).
Dolch, who has played golf
since he was eight years old,
came from Orange County to
play golf and to get his degree
The subsections include boat

information, links to local clubs
and associations, and advertising. Http://sdsailing.com also

in business. "Coach has a lot
of experience," said Dolch, "He
knows how we feel since he has
played the game. He continuously assists me with my mental
focus on the game."
Cougar teammate Rob
Keller, who tied for second place
(225) at the regional added,
"Coach Hanover has helped me
with my mental game and to
get focused once I'm on the golf
course." Keller started playing
golf when he was seven years
old.
When asked about the team's
expectations at the nationals,
Dolch said, "As long as my teammates and I play well, I will
be okay. For me each game is
a 'confidence builder.'" Keller
added, "I really have a good feeling about the nationals."
The players headed to the
NAIA western Regionals are:
Brett Dolch, sophomore; Rob
Keller, sophomore; Joe Rathburn, sophomore; Cory Scoggin, sophomore; and Tony Sellers, junior.

CHRIS FISHER for The Pride
The Cougars made very good
showings the past two weeks
at the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational
on April 23 and the Cal/Nevada
Invitational on the 28.
The Pomona-Pitzer began as
a cold, damp and windy day and
remained that way until the end.
Since the invitational was located
at the base of Mt. Baldy, this
was the type of weather that
the athletes said they expected.
What they didn't expect was to
do well.
Mike Shannon, with a time
of 4:01.97, and Mike Manzano,
4:09.66, both ran in the men's
1500 meter. Anthony Blacksher
ran a personal best of 14.74 in
the 110-meter hurdles and Lucy
Downey ran her year's best in the
400 meter with a time of 57.42.
Two excited lOjOOO-meter

provisional mark with a time of

The Cal/Nevada Invitational
at UCI attracted tough competition for Cal State San Marcos.
Lanele Cox placed 11th in the
5000 meter while James Adams
came in a strong 8th in the 1500

�Going to Class Is Part of College Experience
By JAYNE BRAMAN
Pride Graduate Intern
Before embracing Jeremy
Zagarella's shared experiences
in his article, "College Changes
You: Senior Experiences on
Spring Break," my educational
background in critical thinking encourages me to evaluate
statements made by Zagarella.
Z a g a r e11 a
described the performance of a tribal
ceremony in splendid
detail, but he doesn't
provide a description
of what the ceremony
symbolizes. His stated significance of "an
open social outlook on
sex and rebirth" was a
bit generic. The beauty
comes in understanding not what they do,
but why they do it. While I
also find beauty in cultural
practices between consenting
adults, I do, however, have difficulty in accepting acts of
violence against the innocent,
which in this case are the children.
As a witness to the "most
sacred" ceremony of the tribal
community, Zagarella depicts
an act where women "thrust
the infant's head down upon
the point of the rock." He credits his educational experience
at CSUSM for enlightening his
mind to be able to watch this
scene, repeated approximately
one hundred times according to
his statistics. I, however, don't
believe that I can suspend my
"insensitive American" beliefs
in human rights without more
of an understanding as to what
makes this act "sacred."
Asking me to shelve my
compassion to view this act
as beautiful is like asking
me to accept acts of mutilation or even genocide in the
name of cultural ceremony or
rites of passage. Even though
I understand the controversy
surrounding the fact that we
impose judgment on other cultures according to our standards, my experience in crit-
Through my own observations
as well as through conversations with faculty, I am struck
this semester by an alarming
absenteeism rate on this campus. I can't help but wonder,
where is it stated in the catalog,
the Bible of any college community, that attending class is
optional?
Granted, many people have
the impression that part
of the college experience does indeed
include the freedom of
knowing that if they do
not attend class, no one
is going to call their
parents. By not attending class, students miss
out on the opportunity
to experience the intellectual growth through
shared ideas.
A few weeks ago,
The Pride ran an article about
student apathy. Zagarella's article supports the idea that there
are plenty of activities oh campus for students who are willing t o get involved. Students
complain that there is not
enough to do on this campus,
and, in response, a Campus
Climate Committee has been
formed to address the needs
of the students. But, if we cannot get students to come to
campus to attend class, why do
we think students will attend
anything else? Campus events
are meant to enrich the college
experience, not be the college
experience.
So, if you complain that
you are not getting anything
out of your educational experience, perhaps you need to
examine how much you have
invested in the experience in
order to expect any returns.
"It is i n the
classroom where
intellectual growth
takes place as we
open our m inds..."
ical analysis enables me to
question the validity of such
rites.
The main point of
Zagarella's article, however, is
not lost on me. I appreciate
his sharing of what the educational experience at CSUSM
has to offer to the individual
who is willing to open his or
her mind. Since I have taken
a course with Zagarella, I am
aware that he attends classes
regularly and that he comes
prepared and willing to participate in an intellectual discussion.
As students, we can read
books on our own, but it is in
the classroom where intellectual growth takes place as we
open our minds to the opinions
of not only our instructors,
but our classmates as well.
As a graduate student, I am
fortunate .enough to be teaching while also taking courses.

Letter to the Editors
In Regards to
Student Dilemmas
Dear Editors,
We want students to know
that the University is committed to helping those who
encounter problems with campus rules and to applying
those rules fairly and humanely. When the situation warrants, we . occasionally help
students by making exceptions
to the rules. Those happy
endings, of course, don't usually make it into the newspapers.
Sometimes there are cases
that cannot be resolved to the
student's satisfaction, no matter how hard we try or how
much we are able to "bend"
the rules. The rules, after all,
are not made to get in the way
of students, but to assure that
the University stays true to
its academic mission, which
is what gives value to our
diplomas.
Although we'd like to be
able to respond fully to the
case that has been discussed
in a recent news story in The
Pride, federal privacy regulations restrain us from doing
so. We can say only that there
is more t o the story than has
been reported. Compromising
the confidence of those who
trust our commitment t o holding their privacy is not an
acceptable alternative to "correcting the record."
Thank you for your consideration.

Common Sense Is Needed: A Response to Several Problems on Campus
By Abelardo Torres
f or The Pride
In the time I've been here,
I've seen some and pardon my
French, whacked-up people who
for some unknown reason don't
realize what they have on of
their shoulders is a head and
inside that is " brain—you know,
a
the thing that helps you, oh I
dunno.. .think? And I'm not just
talking about students either, cuz
I've seen some PhD's do weird
stuff, but that's another article.
Allow me to illustrate some of
my points.
Example number 1: the
library. Any one who has been
trying to study often thinks:
"library!" So you get there and
head upstairs looking for an
empty cubicle and, depending
on the time of day and how
far along the way you are in
the semester, you eventually find
one. But it's only a matter of
minutes before you start to hear
candy wrappers, drinks being
opened and let's not forget whispers. So you pretend to cough. It
all dies down only to be resurrected by loud chewing from someone in a cubicle eating—of all
things—chips! Hello? Common
sense being used? I think not!
So after a while, the bag of
chips run out and you fall to
your knees and thank the lord.
But it's going to take more
than a prayer because there's
a group of god knows what,
friends? Classmates? Group
members? Old acquaintances,
perhaps, who have decided to
have a ^mall conference in the
quiet study area! Oh sure, there's
conference rooms on first floor
of library, but who needs that
when you can go annoy those
in the quiet study area upstairs
trying to, oh I dunno.. .study?
Here's the kicker—cell
phones! You'd think that the
library, of all places, would be a
place where you'd at least have
the brain cells to turn your
cell phone into vibrate mode (if
not o ff) or smart enough as to
put 2 and 2 together and say
uhmm... library?... uhmm.. .cell
phone. *ping!a idea* e Volume
down. But no! Some people
seem to have their cell phones
full blast, because once that thing
goes off, it scares the heck out
of not only the owner but also
the neighbors. Sometimes I think
that if they hadn't integrated
those annoying songs into the
ringers, we could probably use
one of them as the fire alarm.
But enough about library.
Let's walk around the buildings
and their doors, as well as the
hallways and stairs. In a previous
article I read something to the
effect of 'don't use the electric
handicapped door opener' And
in response I'd like to pose a
few simple questions: Have you
worked on campus? If so, have
you ever had to take a box from
your work place to your car?
Have you ever had both of your
hands busy at the same time?
Sure, there's an energy crisis and
you should save electricity but if
your hands are busy and there's
no one t o open the door for you,
then what? Stare at the door and
hope that it reads your mind and
opens by itself? C'mon!
Interestingly enough, there
are some doors that should just be
kept open all the time. Try going
from the dome to the library,
the door just before the narrow
stairs start leading down. What
the heck were they thinking by
installing a door that you pretty
much have to slam your self
against to open it? I'm surprised
a lawsuit hasn't landed on the
letsmakethisplaceahandicappedfriendly committee. I guess your
usage of common sense on this
one is a judgment call. To use
or not to use your hands: that is
the question.
Check out example number
2: Hallways and stairs. Most of
us get to our classroom a few
minutes early and in most cases
have to wait a few more for the
current class to wrap up. While
waiting we often lean against
the wall, read a newspaper, or
open a book. But some people
decide to sit (or as I've seen it,
lay down) and extend their legs
into the middle of the hallway.
You are forced to step over their
feet in a last attempt to not fall
on top of them. Then you get a tti :
tude by this individual because
they fail to get up and pull their
feet together. Most often they
call you "rude."
The most outrageous lack of
common sense is displayed on
the stairs. Perhaps you've experienced it, seen it, done it, or tried
to avoid i t It's when person X
meets person Y and they decide
to catch up on childhood memo-
ries on the stairs. Both individuals are talking and blocking traffic, and they get mad at you
for saying, "excuse me" as if
you were the one causing the
problem.
To wrap up, I'd just like to
ask that you use common sense
before you do anything. Sure, it
shouldn't be a big deal you talking on your cell phone, but it is
when you decide to use it in the
quiet study area in the library.
And of course, there's nothing
wrong with talking and catching
up with old friends you haven't
seen in the last 24 hours, don't
do it in the stairs when fellow
students need to get to classes.
And there's absolutely nothing
wrong with sitting down and
stretching your legs, it's just that
the hallway isn't the best place
for it.
^
By no means would I ask
you not to jump online, go on
a chat channel, play an online
game if you so desire but use
common sense as to not to do it
in the computers in the" library
because people might want to do
research. Just pointing out the
obvious.

Sexual Assault Consciousness Needs to Be Raised
The Pride
By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Staff Writer
Not enough students are
taking the initiative to learn about
sexual assault or enroll i n selfdefense classes. Sexual assault is
so widespread that if you talk
to ten of your friends, all ten of
them will have either a personal
story or they can tell you about
someone they know. Let's work
on raising our consciousness.

Thoughts on
Mothers
Compiled by: M. Addington
The hand that rocks the cradle
is the hand that rules the
world."
-W. S. Ross
There is no velvet so soft
as a mother's lap jio rose
as lovely as her smile, no
path so flowery as that
imprinted with her footsteps.
-Archibald Thompson
Youth fades; love droops, the
leaves of friendship fall; a
mother's secret hope outlives
them ail."
-Oliver Wendell Holmes
The heart of a mother is
a deep abyss at the bottom
of whiclr you will always
find forgiveness."
-Honore' de Balzac
Of all the rights of women,
the greatest is to be a mother."
-Lin Yutang
The mother's heart is the
child's schoolroom."
-Henry Ward Beecher
i t's easy to make a child smile.
A few words of encouragement, may be a special
reward for a special performance, Parents do It all
the time, and so do teachers.
Good teachers are the difference between a child
who succeeds and one who stym&les. They are
the ones who make math fun and science seem like
an adventure into another world.
Teaching Is the profession that allows you to see
the most gratifying, Immediate and instantaneous
reward of a job well done - a child's smile
Mate a child smile. Take the next step - leach!
Make t h* difference of a lifetime.
