According to Heather Manley,

at Cal State San Marcos will
determine the gradshirt design.
She urges all students who are
interested to submit their design to
the Office o f Alumni Relations in

The Alumni Association is looking for creative and innovative
designs from students, rather than
having the Alumni Association
design it on their own.
All designs must be submitted by

ASI V.P. Removed Then Reinstated from page 1
The BOD met on Jan. 31 to
discuss and vote on the issue o f
Patel's reinstatement. Patel, in
a brief statement to the BOD,
admitted missing the retreat due
to an unexpected family emergency and asked to be reinstated.
The vote to reinstate Patel was
unammous.
Last spring, Shannon Tweed, a
human development major, was
elected to the BOD as the College
o f A rts and Sciences representative, also missed a retreat due to a
death in her family, and she was
removed from her position on the
BOD. Unlike Patel, Tweed was
not reinstated.
During the discussion portion
o f Patel's appeal, Alan Smith,
College o f Education representative, questioned why Patel should
be reinstated for missing a retreat
due to a family emergency when
Tweed was denied reinstatement
for the same reason.
Erik Roper, ASI vice president
o f communications, said his
decision to vote against reinstating Tweed was based on his
understanding that Tweed was
not going to attend the retreat
originally because she was going
to attend a wedding. Although
Roper admitted that his information could be considered hearsay,
he felt that Tweed's subsequent
family emergency didn't justify
[Tweed's] reinstatement because
she was going to miss the retreat
anyway.
When asked what she thought
o f Roper's statements at the
BOD meeting, Tweed, who was
in attendance at the recent BOD
meeting, replied that she was
"shocked," and added that even
though Roper admitted his information was hearsay, " It bothers
[her] that no one has asked [her]
to tell [her side o f the story]."
After the elections in the
spring o f 2002, a three-day ASI
retreat was scheduled for June,
immediately following final
exams. According to Patel, the
purpose o f the " summer" retreat
is for the new BOD members to
get to know each other, to set
goals, and to learn about their
jobs and the ASI organization.
Tweed said that she advised
Brown that she would miss the
retreat because o f an out o f

changed the dates o f the retreat to
accommodate Tweed.

to give details explaining that
she "wanted to respect Shannon's
privacy." Brown added that she
was hesitant to discuss Shannon's
case because a lot o f the discussion between them was done privately in closed sessions. Brown
did reiterate that the situations o f
Tweed and Patel were unrelated.
When Tweed was asked i f
Patel should have been denied
reinstatement, she said, "No. I 'm
glad they kept Arti. [Patel] works
hard and deserves her position."
Tweed explained that she felt
she was treated differently from
Patel, in part because she " wasn't
a part o f [the executive committee] group," because she had run
on a different slate than Patel
and Brown. However, Brown
said, " half o f the voting executive members [did not run] on my
slate [either]."
Tweed pointed out that " they
replaced me with someone who
didn't go to the retreat either."
Tweed ended by saying, " My
teachers were understanding
during [the death o f a family
member], couldn't the executive
committee have been, too?''

After acknowledging students'
request for a storage area, ASI
arranged for the delivery and
installation o f 40 pay-to-use
lockers. This includes a separate
compartment unit specifically
accessible to students with
physical disabilities. " I'm glad
to know that Crystal [Folk] was
thinking about how to make [the
lockers] available to the student
population I serve," said John
Segoria, director o f Disabled
Student Services.
As a result o f the recent theft
and damage done to the property
in the ASI lounge, the future
o f the lounge is in jeopardy.
Keith Speers explained that the
responsibility o f protecting the

with the entire campus, saying,

T he Father o f Black History Month from page 1
Woodson noticed that what was
written about blacks generally
portrayed them as socially inferior to whites. For this reason he
founded the Association for the
Study o f Negro Life and History
(now called the Association for
the Study o f Afro-American Life
and History) in 1915 to promote
the integration o f blacks into
history books. Then, in 1916,
he founded the widely respected
Journal ofNegro History.
Already known for his work in
the black community, Woodson
was far from done. His crowning achievement came in 1926
with the inception o f Negro History Week, the second week in
February. The week was chosen
because Frederick Douglass and
Abraham Lincoln share birthdays during that week. Since this
remembrance has been adapted
and lengthened to Black History
Month, there has been a long
running joke that February was
selected because it is the shortest
month o f the year.
The fact remains that there are
a number o f significant reasons
as to why February remains
the month to celebrate AfricanAmerican history:
•
On Feb. 23,
1868, W.E.B. Dubois,
a civil rights leader
and co-founder o f the
National Association for
the Advancement o f Colored People (NAACP),
was born.
•
O n Feb. 3, 1870,
the 15th Amendment
was passed. This granted
black people the right to
vote.
•
On Feb. 25,
1870, Hiram R. Revels
took office as the first
black Senator in United
States History.
•
On Feb. 12,
1909, the NAACP was
founded.
•
O n Feb. 1, 1960,
a group o f black Greensboro, N.C. college students began a sit-in at a
segregated Woolworth's
lunch counter in what
would become a civilrights movement milestone.
•
O n Feb. 21,
1965, three black Muslims shot the militant
black leader who promoted Black Nationalism, Malcolm X, to
death.
Although Woodson and others
like him have helped in the effort
to bring neutral, balanced and
unbiased records to academia
there is still much work to be
done. Only with similar continued efforts can the U.S. history be
interpreted accurately.

There is a special group o f people at Cal
State San Marcos. They are international
students. These students come from all
over the world, in search o f higher education and in hope o f unlimited opportunities. There are approximately 100 full
time international students enrolled this
semester at CSUSM. Countries as far away
as Yemen, Oman, and Greece are represented, along with countries as close as
Canada and Mexico.

order to breathe their first fresh breath o f
air in America. This feeling o f euphoria
dies quickly, and panic sets in when all o f
the pre-departure preparations are put to
the test. Will there be a place to live? Will I
get all my classes? Questions such as these
may plague the students' minds for weeks.
Although a scenario like this may not
be the case for every international student,
it gives some insight into what obstacles
must be overcome when traveling around
the world to receive higher education.
Traveling over these great distances to
vacation is comprehendible to most students, but imagine what it would be like to
travel half way around the world to attend
school for an extended period o f time.
Takashi Sasaki, who has participated
in several international student programs
in the U.S., shares many o f the same feelings o f frustration and stress expressed in
this fictional portrayal. "The language and
everyday life are the most difficult," said
Sasaki.
Upon getting off o f the airplane, after a
twenty hour flight, many international students may feel that their eyes have gotten
so blurry that they can barely read the signs
directing them where to go. I t may don
upon her/him that, although they have a
fairly good grasp on the English language,
the option to speak in their native language
is no longer available. The reality o f the
situation is that international students now
have to eat, sleep, and speak English every
minute o f every day.
"The most simple tasks such as setting
up a bank account, or going grocery shopping, sometimes end up to be the most
difficult thing to do," said Sasaki. He also
remarked that everyday life was only a
portion o f the problems that international
students face. In many instances, financial
matters and immigration regulations can
be the biggest bump in the road for international students.
They can most likely expect a wonderful
greeting from the infamously unfriendly
U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (I.N.S.). An intense interrogation, in
English, with an inspector usually leads to
a frenzy o f stamping, stapling, folding, and
more stamping of immigration documents.
On most occasions, it is to the delight o f
the international student that they are
informed o f the processing fees, and a
secondary inspection, where the student's
bags will be t om open and searched vigorously. Usually, after spending a considerable amount o f time repacking all o f their
extremely personal items, international
students finally will get the chance to step
out of the front doors o f the terminal, in
When asked why he chooses to continue
to stay in the U.S., Sasaki said that the
experience was a once in a lifetime chance,
and the people and opportunities available
are unlike anywhere else in the world. I t is

keeps international students from being
deterred b y the ofistacles that often come
up while working toward a degree in a foreign country.
Danielle McMartin, who has been the

She remarked that like American students,
international students face the same worries o f getting all o f their classes, achieving
good grades, and graduating as quickly as
possible. However, she also notes the differences that set international students in a
league o f their own.
Since the events o f 9/11, rules and regulations have become even more strict. The

system called SEVIS, which requires educational institutions to report the status o f

Is There Liberal Bias At Cal State San Marcos?

says, "Liberal bias on campus has

CSUSM senior communication
major, Anna Hall, expressed a
similar sentiment stating, " The

no one sees the conservative side
o f things, only the liberal."
In the past weeks, parents
and students alike have leveled
charges o f liberal bias at UCSD
and some o f its faculty members.
These charges include the claim
that UCSD is indoctrinating the
students with a liberal ideology,
and telling them what to think, act,
and feel about certain legislation.

Niedenthal, a member o f the

said, "There is a lack o f interest in
the liberal position and a leaning
toward the conservative." Sociology major Kunta Jones agreed
and stated that it was " a contradictory question, [considering]
that we call ourselves a 'democratic' society."
While many students believe
that liberal bias on college campuses is a threat to their academic
freedom, one o f the core values
found in the CSUSM catalogue
is academic freedom. Professors
and students alike are entitled to
full freedom in their research, but
professors have to give an acceptable performance in the classroom, according to university
standards. CSUSM believes that,
"education depends upon the free
expression and exchange o f ideas
in the search for truth. Academic
freedom is the freedom to express
any view, popular or unpopular,
and to defend that point o f view
in open exchange. The university supports freedom o f speech,

professors apprehensive about
answering the question o f liberal
bias. Communication professor
Michael Huspek commented,
"The question 'is there liberal bias
on campus at CSU San Marcos?'
itself was biased and what should
be asked is, 'What counts as
academic freedom?"' Arts and
Sciences professor David Avalos
gave a similar response by stressing the importance o f academic
freedom. Avalos said, "Academic
freedom is dependent upon free
speech and its free exposition
and is not limited to any personal
agenda."
Mark Appelbaum, a professor
at UCSD, explained his position
by saying he wanted to "make
sure students understand that faculty members have opinions. The
fine line between fact and opinion
is not always clear."

Pride Staff Writer
From traditional Korean dance
to modem to ballet, 40 dancers,
both male and female o f the
Korean National University o f
A rts (KNUA), demonstrated to be
an appropriate opener for the new
theatre at the Arts Building o f Cal
State San Marcos on Wednesday
Feb. 12 at 6 p.m.
Beginning with a Korean
scarf dance, Salpuri, (free from
"sal") which literally means to
free one from all calamitous
events like death and illnesses.
The performers captured the
audience's attention with a
peaceful traditional Korean
Dance with delicate hand and
feet movements - an introduction
to more and more delightful
surprises that were about to
come.
The second piece on the
program was La Esmeralda, a
ballet based on a novel written by
Victor Hugo in 1831, and directed
for KNUA by Kim Hae Shik. The
third piece, called What's going
on? is a modem dance piece
choreographed by Joun Mi Sook.
This piece was described as an
interpretation o f "love, wrath,
envy, pleasure and hatred" where
all these emotions are "vanishing
in vain." Starting with an empty
stage and one man trying to stand
still with dozens o f baseballs, the
setting turned into a platform
o f passing, rolling and biting
between men, women, and the
baseballs. The KNUA describes
this piece as, "There is unknown
tension. There is an unknown
festival; about the height, about
the depth, about the breadth."

Simmons and the Hip-Hop Summit
Action Network urged the community to
join the "Campaign for Respect" to cliallenge the unfair cultural disrespect on
Ludacris and the Hip-Hop community as a
whole. The boycott was to begin February
12 and would continue until three specific
demands had been met: that Pepsi issues
an apology to Ludacris and to the hip-hop
culture, that the soda company donates
5 million to the Ludacris Foundation, a
non-profit organization, .and that the commercial be reinstated. One day before the
beginning o f the boycott Pepsi announced
that they would donate five million dollars
to Ludacris's non-profit organization. Pepsi
is currently looking into meeting the rest o f
their demands.
On Wed. February 61h Hip-Hop mogul
Russell Simmons was steaming mad after
Pepsi's most recent ad which featured "The
Fowl Mouth Family o f Darkness." The outspoken conservative Bill O'Reilly caused
uproar over Pepsi's partnering with Atlanta's hip-hop Superstar Ludacris. O'Reilly
blasted Pepsi for doing business with what
he calls, " a thug rapper who espouses violence, intoxication and degrading conduct
toward women." No more than twenty-four
hours later Pepsi announced that Ludacris
would be dropped from the ad as a spokesperson and apologized to anyone who was
offended by the company's association·
with him. Despite Pepsi's research findings
that teens connected with the rap Superstar

been associated with Pepsi in the past, the

tower that reached to the heavens
so they could become famous.
God thwarted their plans by confounding their language: that is,
He gave them different languages,
so they would not understand each
other. No common language, no
clear communication, no understanding- no tower.
According to Rep. John Doolittle (R-Calif.), Michigan offers
its driving test i n 2 0 different

I f English is spoken consistently at home and at school, the

is not to say that the original

O n t he contrary, I've spoken with
people who are first generation

clearly that their parents' native
language was never spoken at
home. The parents wanted to
encourage assimilation, and often
never spoke o f t he " Old Country."

becoming citizens, and i n order
to exercise that right thoughtfully
and intelligently, they must be
able to read for themselves about

would b e fairly easy for them to

unethical translators.
O ne language unites. Good,

mean acculturation, although that

What 4o you. wa!ch o n
Wednesday nights? I have beeri
glued to the television watching
" The Bachelorette" for the last
few weeks. The show's exciting
content has managed to entrap
my interest from week to week.
Yes, I k now some o f you are
probably thinking that I have no
life and that I a m some single
female with hopes to b e t he next
bachelorette. B e assured, I watch
this for pure entertainment value
only. A nd no, I don't take notes
or dream o f being given the final
rose at the rose ceremony o f The
Bachelor!
" The Bachelorette" is a followup show to " The Bachelor,"
<:;~tti.-.g
which was created b y ABC. The
show consists o f seven episodes
viewed one episode every week,
with a cast o f 25 males and one
female, Trista (the bachelorette).
During this time, there are
many opportunities, activities,
a nd special dates where the
bachelorette gets the chance to
get up close and personal with
the bachelors. Then, at the end
o f e ach episode, she picks a
pre-determined number o f the
bachelors to move onto the next
round by offering them a rose as
a token o f h er choice.
I would never go o n national
television and think that I would
find someone that I would m arry
after knowing them for a few
weekS.
The idea o f " The Bachelor"
and "Bachelorette" was a novel
idea that many thought of, but
few dared to take love to this
level until a year ago when the
first season o f " The Bachelor"
was aired. Competition exists
and fights for favor with the
demographic o f those looking

to some on-line work. I was done
in a short while and had no interest i n monopolizing a computer

Discrepancy in Treatment of Two ASI Representatives is Challenged
By HONEE J. FOLK
Pride StaffWriter
I f memory serves me correctly,
within the pages o f The Pride,
there were several extremely
critical opinion submissions from
ASI president, Jocelyn Brown,
explaining
the
importance
and necessity o f attending
all required ASI retreats. Her
submission outlined in detail
the weight attached to such
retreats and described an elected
representatives' lackofattendance
as negligent and detrimental to
the entire student body.
Her letters were in response
to an opinion piece from fellow
student Steve Compian, who
directed frustrations at the ASI
board for denying Shannon
Tweed the opportunity to carry
out her duties as the elected
College o f Arts and Sciences
Representative. Shannon missed
the weeklong summer retreat due
to the death o f a close relative
and had to attend to her family
responsibilities.

Pride Staff Writer
It doesn't look like there's any
way out o f it now. The United
States will be going to war with
Iraq, against the wishes o f the
U N and o f millions o f American
people. An unprecedented peace
movement is beginning, one
which is mobilizing before the
war even starts. This is a little
heartening to me. The protests
aren't going to do anything, and
the protestors have to know it.
But, people are still trying to
make their voices heard. That's
one good thing that might come
o f it, a return to dissent and the
refusal to just go along with
public policy.
The government is likely asking
itself why such a peace movement
is starting. The war isn't going
to be fought here. No occupying
army will march through our
streets. Our system o f government
and way o f life won't b e changed
when it's over. O ur cities won't be
bombed - at least not by the Iraqi
government, though terrorist
actions will almost certainly
increase as a result o f this war and
the increased American presence
in the Middle East. There will
likely not be a military draft,
and there won't even be any new
taxes to help pay for this war. At
least not right away. The Bush
administration seems to be going
out o f its way to make sure that we
won't have to unduly suffer for a

in. This seems to be as much to

retribution they and their allies
will harbor towards us. They say
that Iraq will be rebuilt, much the
way that Germany and Japan were
after World War II. I hope I'm
wrong, but I feel that the puppet
government that will b e controlled
by the oil hungry Americans will
be seen by the rest o f the world as
neo-colonialism, not democracy.
Military enforced democracy is
not democracy.
Again, this doesn't have to be
about Iraq. I would feel this way
were we at war with North Korea
or Afghanistan. I wonder how
the people i n Vietnam, Grenada,
Panama, and Kosovo managed
to pick up and start over after the
damage done to them. I feel for
the wrecked landscape o f India
and Pakistan as they fight each
other, for the Russians and the
Chechnians. And I feel sorrow
for the American families that
have and will suffer losses, in this
war and in others. This is really
about all the wars that have been
fought before and those that peace
movements will fail to stop in the
future. The thing I hate about
warfare is the way that it disrupts
ordinary life. We - all o f us, not
just Americans - deserve a chance
to live in our homelands free o f
the destruction that war brings.
Do innocents in so-called enemy
countries have to be victims to
our political games?
I want to end this with a quote
I first read in high school, that
seemed then and now to sum up
my feelings on war. The words are
from the peace activist Reverend
Harry Emerson, from 1937,
and they didn't stop the coming
second world war. " I renounce
war for its consequences, for the
lies it lives on and propagates, for
the undying hatred it arouses, for '
the dictatorships it puts in place o f
democracy, for the starvation that
stalks after it. There are things
worse than war, and war brings
all o fthem."

an important question to
be asking.

With
From
gas-guzzling
SUV's to penny-pinching
economy cars, CSU San
Marcos students journey
from far off places in an
attempt to receive their
college education. Many
mothers, fathers, sons and
daughters struggle to get
to campus in hopes that
their education will one
day increase their status
on the economic ladder.
With this in view, many
students have wondered
why San Marcos doesn't
have a vanpool for students.
Unethical
Activities
A large sample of the
academic leaders in the
community of Cal State
San Marcos were asked
what social issue they care
about most. The following are the responses of
those professors interested
enough to formulate a
reply.
By JARED THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
In March 2003, the California State
Auditor: Bureau of State Audits, released
an audit report on the California State University system's procurement of Common
Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft).
Among the findings of the report are
potential conflicts-of-interest and criminal
activities, security issues that could possibly lead to the electronic identity theft
of CSU staff, faculty and students, as well
as an inappropriate handling of funds that
may have negative effects on the CSUSM
students and faculty.
"I am most concerned
about the narrow focus on
the individual - to the detriment of the community - in
the United States these
days. Too many people
who enjoy the benefits
of living in the US — the
standard and quality of
living, the civil liberties,
the wide open opportunities - appear to be interested only in getting more
for themselves, without
recognizing that in doing
so, they may be depriving others in this country
- and certainly many folks
in other countries - of
access to the fundamental
needs for survival We do
not \get it' that our lives
are inextricably linked
to the lives of people in
virtually every country in
the world - we need them
as much as they need us
(it's called complex interdependence) - and we
should be civil and considerate of their needs"
-Vicki L. Golich, Department of Political Science
Conflict of Interest
The report, initiated last spring by State
Senator Richard Alarcon (D-Campbell)
and State Assembly member Manny Diaz
(D-San Jose) at the request of the California
Faculty Association (CFA), asserts that the
CSU "did not do enough to prevent conflicts
of interest by decision makers for CMSrelated procurements." The report states
that the lack of effort to prevent conflicts of
interest resulted in two CSU system senior
executives, involved with the decision
making process in acquiring technological
supplies and services for the entire CSU

ees to disclose their personal assets and
income. According to the report, the CSU
system and some CMS management personnel did not disclose their personal information, casting a duplicitous shadow over
the relationship between CMS and the CSU
system. California State Auditor Elaine
Howie, discovered that two CSU system
executives in particular engaged in incompatible activities as defined by the Fair
Political Practices Commission (FPPC)'s
eight-step analysis to determine whether an
individual has a conflict of interest under
the Political Reform Act of 1974.
According to the eight-step analysis, any
public official, including all employees of
the CSU system, may not make, participate
in making, use or attempt to use their position in order to influence a government
decision, such as the procurement of CMS/
PeopleSoft, in which "they know, or have
reason to know, that the decision will have
a reasonably foreseeable material, financial
effect on their economic interests."
One senior executive, Vice-Chancellor
David Ernst, who participated in the CMS
procurement, which occurred in April of
1997, received income and compensation
from CMS of up to $11,000 per month from
years 1996 through 1998 for facilitating
meetings prior to the procurement, and for
consultation fees after the procurement.

Many of the surrounding universities - UC

together vanpools that

in distant cities. Vanpools

times allowing students
to get to class early and
leave as late as 5 or 6 p.m.
Although none of the university vanpools are f ree
of charge ($50 a month),
they provide students with
economical and practical
alternative methods of
transportation.
A high percentage of
CSU San Marcos students
are commuters. Traveling
from as far as Temecula
and Costa Mesa, Chula
Vista and San Ysidro can
be a strenuous process.
Sociology senior Shana
Lewis said, "It is an atrocity that CSU San Marcos
doesn't have a vanpool.
They probably aren't
doing it because it would
affect parking sales."
Liberal Studies major and

�P ortfolios: P erfect o r a P ain?
By SARA COLBRESE
Pride Staff Writer
What Students Are Saying
After years of hard work,
stress, and mind throbbing yet
gratifying accomplishments,
many graduating
seniors
are required one last tedious
duty: the graduation portfolio.
Faculty and students have
different opinions; both are
left with the same question
regarding how both the
administration's expectations
for the portfolio, as well as the
expectations of students, can
be successfully achieVed.
The graduate portfolio
is required for six different
majors at CSUSM, including
the multiple subject, liberal
arts, and single subject waiver
program in social science,
history, literature and writing
studies. (LTWR), math, and
science. These are the degrees
a student would obtain if s/he
chooses to apply to a credential
program. A portfolio consists of
four original papers, complete
with faculty comments from
various semesters throughout
CSUSM studies, as well as a
3-4-page reflection for each
of the four entries. The final
bound product is required to
be turned in no less then one
month before graduation.
A flurry of chit-chat
regarding this portfolio can be
heard in many upper division
classes on campus. These are
the voices of angry seniors
who feel that the portfolio
requirement is just one more
set of hoops they must jump
through in order to satisfy the
administration. Many feel that
they were not warned about
the graduation portfolio, and
therefore had not felt the need
to save their original papers.
LTWR senior Nichole Jester
said, "I just found out about
them last semester and have
not saved nearly enough work
to represent my true challenges
and intellect. Liberal studies
major Gail Tarantino shares
this concern as she "found out
about the portfolio by word
of mouth and by the liberal
Studies blue sheet." Tarantino
says that not once had any
counselor or advisor mentioned
it to her.
The lack of communication
between the faculty portfolio
advisors and the students does
not stop there; students are also
expressing their frustration
with its overall effectiveness.

With an audience of approximately
twenty students, faculty and administrators, Paige Jennings from the
CSUSM office of communications
mediated a panel of three in a discussion about the embedded journalists who were used in the recent war
with Iraq. The panel included Kent
Davy, editor in chief of The North
County Times, Dr. Sam Hamod, an
Arab and Islam expert and editor of
Alteraativenews.org, and Major General Claude Rienke, a retired officer
and publisher of The Californian, the
Riverside counterpart to The North

In his opening statement, Davy
referred to the embedded rules that
journalists were expected to follow.
Only two journalists violated these
rules and were asked to leave; one
being Geraldo Rivera. An audience
member questioned, "[After] Vietnam, the military learned to control
the media, to have certain agendas

The X-men sequel is one of the best
adventure movies of recent years, better
than the first, if not quite as much fun as
last years' Spiderman. As an action movie,
it delivers the requisite effects and action
sequences, which are very impressive. Fine
acting and attention to character make the
movie unique and more memorable than
most comic book movies. The characters
are all greatly expanded from both their
comic counterparts and the first movie,
actually giving an emotional feeling to
the action. It is definitely worth seeing, but
possibly a little confusing to non-fans.
While the first movie suffered from
a pretty threadbare plot, this one may
have a little too much. The film does an
outstanding job of juggling the several
storylines, even managing to tie them all
together in a logical way. However, there
are an awful lot of characters here- nearly
everyone from the first movie returns, and
every one of them evolves in some way.
There are also several new characters,
whom are also given an awful lot of plot
and character burden. The best moments
are of character interaction. Unfortunately,
these moments are too often lost in the big
action set pieces.

The special effects and set pieces don't
disappoint. From the opening scene of
Nightcrawler attacking the White House
to the duel between Wolverine and the
similarly clawed Yuriko, the action is
exciting and very well directed. The
mutant's powers look realistic most of
the time. The familiar settings that the
mutants move through make their powers
both unreal and strangely believable.

John D. MacDonald's
"Travis McGee" Series Is Still A Landmark in Popular Fiction
By JEFF BROWNLEE
Pride Staff Writer
In 1964 author John D. MacDonald
brought one of fiction's most imposing
characters into existence. MacDonald's
"Travis McGee" to this day represents
perhaps the most interesting and compelling character to inhabit the world of
paperbacks.
McGee first makes his appearance in
MacDonald's "The Deep Blue Goodbye."
MacDonald describes his creation as,
"That big loose-jointed boat bum, that
slayer of small savage fish, that beachwalker, gin-drinker, quip-maker-that man
named Travis McGee." Throughout the
Travis McGee series MacDonald does
a wonderful job with his descriptions of
McGee as well as the other characters and
situations that populate McGee's world.

a cross between Jack London and Hugh
Heffner.
The novels themselves are fast-paced
and compelling. John D. MacDonald
brought a wealth of experience to the
Travis McGee series, having been a writer
of suspense and science fiction for many
years. MacDonald had earned his chops
in both the short story and novel mediums, and it shows. His writing is tight and
economical and he can bring startling plot
twists seemingly out of nowhere without
the appearance of their being forced or
contrived. During and immediately after
WWII MacDonald served as an officer in
the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) the
precursor agency to the CIA. This may be
the source of the detail and realism that
pervades the "Travis McGee" series.
The "Travis McGee" series is a classic
in the detective novel genre and proof that
the late John D. MacDonald was one of the
twentieth century's master novelists.

change from reading, grammar,
The first phase in the spread of writing, and math skills (where
an oppressive regime is to control there is, in fact, a right or wrong
answer) to social engineering?
Jorge Riquelme, a Liberal Studies
Department teacher at CSUSM
said, "Unfortunately, much of
the emphasis in education reform
efforts is narrowly placed in
improving schooling practices (e.g.,
instruction and curriculum) and not
in addressing simultaneously the
social context of education (e.g.,
poverty and exclusion)." I disagree.
Unfortunately, not enough emphasis is placed on the educational
fundamentals of instruction and
curriculum. Too much emphasis is
placed on tolerance, diversity, and
a host of other social and political
issues which become irrelevant in a
society that can't read, write, add,
or think critically.
Comments like Mr. Riquelme's
cause me to despair for this generation of high school and college
students. They are becoming less
and less qualified to compete in
the world because they have been
shortchanged in their education.
The teachers and professors who
love learning and teaching are
leaving the public school system.
They'll make less money in the private school system, but they will be
free t o teach academic subjects to*
students who want to be there, and
be paid by parents who appreciate
their talents.
The disintegration of the grounds,
the poor planning displayed by the
administration in where l o hold
which class, the lack of interest
in what the students need, and the
devaluation of the diploma, indicate
a deep chasm in the academic ideology of CSUSM. Without a strong
teaching staff, respect for students'
time and money, and a newspaper
that is free to print whatever is
news, diversity and social issues
are moot. It's too bad we can't all
just take a semester off, and let the
administration deal with that cash
flow problem.

He explained that the state

Hollingsworth added that
sometimes, such as last year,

By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
The CSUSM College
Republicans welcomed
California State Senator
Dennis Hollingsworth to
campus- last Thursday in
order to discuss the state's
current budget deficit and
some possible solutions.
Hollingsworth, a Republican
who is in his first term of
office, represents the 36
district, an area that spans
from Temecula to El Cajon.
An audience of 15 to 20
club members listened to
Hollingsworth's speech,
which touched on how the
budget will affect CSUSM
and how California found
itself in this position on the
fourth floor of Academic
Hall on Thursday afternoon.
He also explained the plans
that Republicans have for
fixing the current budget
situation.

Nominations for the
Harry E. Brakebill Award
Outstanding Professor
Award are due by this
Thursday, May 1. This
award is named after a
founding member of the
Cal State San Marcos
foundation board and
former CSU executive
vice chancellor, Harry
E. Brakebill. The award
has been handed out
since 1993, and has
replaced the outstanding
professor award. Eight
professors have been
nominated so far this
year.
The award is given
every October to a
faculty member who
has made exceptional
contributions to their
students, discipline,
and community. The
teacher's record as an
educator is considered
above anything else,
but the creative quality
of their teaching, their
service to the campus and
outside communities,
and the quality of their
outside research is also
taken into consideration.
Typically, around 11
professors compete for
the award. The nominees
will spend the summer
compiling a dossier,
which is reviewed by
the selection committee
before a winner is
announced in October.
A teacher can be

says that once a program, which
increases the faculty's workload,
is established, the administration
would be reluctant to have it discontinued.
Diehr explained that changing
courses from three units to four
would decrease the number of
classes required for some degrees,
but it does not decrease the total
number of units required to graduate. The increase in class units
would come from the elimination
of the upper division general education (UDGE) courses. The nine
UDGE units would shift to the
major courses.
Diehr also said that this suggestion is not meant to be applied uniformly because the CoBA already
has four unit classes, so there is
some question as to which colleges

that each department would make
their own decisions and adjust
its curriculum so courses would

increasing classes to four units
and eliminating the UDGE were
just suggestions, and that unless
proposed by the task force, they
are only topics for discussion.
Montanari added, "Since this is
an academic institution, most of
the things to make it distinctive
have to do with education," and
the "changes could be pedagogical
and not necessarily have to involve

Montanari believes that innovative and distinctive programs

one part-time professor,
one former winner of

questions ranged in subject

was later proven to not exist,
and the effect of President

30-minute on California.
Hollingsworth explained
that federal laws prohibits
the taxation of tribes without
their consent, and that the
tribes could not produce
the 1.5 million dollars that
Davis attributed to the
Indian gaming revenue.
Hollingsworth also said,
"Davis went into office in
1999 with a record surplus
and has turned it into a
record deficit." He clarified
that Davis did not claim
to have a surplus in his reelection campaign, but that
the state has had a surplus
while he has been governor.
Finally, Hollingsworth said,
when discussing Bush's taxcuts, that California would
have to follow the same
movement and commented,
"People will avoid tax
increases, [and] a tax cut will
generate jobs and spending
revenues."

�American Idol or America's Most inWanted
connection with a bar fight in
By GERALD JONES
Pride Staff Writer
And then there were eight,
after American Idol finalist
Corey Clark was kicked off the
shoW Monday, March 31. Clark
is allegedly being accused of
attacking his 15 year old sister in
October 2002 and resisting arrest.
When producers learned of his
misdemeanor charge of battery
and resisting arrest they made
the decision to remove him from
the show. The 22 year old Kansas
native, "withheld information
about a prior arrest, which had it
been known, might have affected
his participation in the show,"
Fox stated. "The producers and
the network feel that Corey's
behavior warrants his disqualification."
The news was leaked to the
press by a website called "The
Smoking Gun," which stated
that Clark was facing trial April
15, 2003 for assault and resisting
arrest. The smoking gun website
also released the not-so-pretty
mug shots of American Idol final-
ist Trenyce who was arrested in
1999 for theft charges. However,
Trenyce revealed her past charges
with the producers of the show so
it was not a big shock when the
photos were released.
Each one of the finalists goes
through an in-depth background
check in order to alleviate this
type of situation from happening. The finalists are required to
disclose everything about their
past - good or bad. Clark slipped
through the cracks because of a
typo. The police report that was
filed had misspelled his name,
so when American Idol did the
background check, nothing was
discovered about his pending
charges.
Clark is the third contestant
to be removed from the show.

Music Lyrics aWs is ba transmittedediumhis
M to the masses through t
hat eing
By JAMAL SCARLETT
Pride Staff Writer
Neil Young wrote a song once about the true meaning
of rock and roll. It went like this: "Hey, hey, my, my,
rock and roll will never die! There is more to the
picture than meets the eye." This song rings so clearly
in the ears of our world, considering that many find
their identity in the music they listen to. Whether it is
hip hop, rock, country or metal, blatantly obvious or
hidden behind a beat, music lyrics as a medium to our
social condition has had an undeniable effect on the
way we live today.
However, what comes to the surface when the lyrics
that we hold so dear become dangerous and acted out?
When violent lyrical content's relationship to violent
behavior creates such uproar, why do we put defunct
laws in place and think we have done everything in our
power?
Yet, kids as young as 5 and 6 years old are showing up
to school with guns in their lunch pails. Many rant and
rave, not knowing where this type of behavior comes
from. It is unabashedly clear that the lyrical content in
many of the songs we listen to puts our society at risk.
Furthermore, radio stations are keen to understand this
concept and to capitalize on the vulnerability of young
listeners. Guitar guru Jimmy Hendrix once stated in a
Life magazine article, "You hypnotize people and when
you get them at their weakest point, we can preach into
their subconscious what we want to say."
medium gives witness to why much of everything is
falling apart. The social construction of the family,
our relationships, meanings of love, moral reasoning...
where has it all gone? Since the 1960's, we have seen
violence, teen pregnancy, and drug use escalate in the
United States. Currently there are over 190,000 teen
pregnancies each year. Over 10 million teens have tried
cocaine, and there has been a 1,740 percent increase
in knife or gun wound treatment at hospitals among
teens.
With the assistance of media, music, and its lyrical
content, these factors are not reviled, but accepted and
practiced. Videos have become more and more deadly
because they are created for you^h and for the appetites
of youth. They are produced with the most advanced
technological eye-grabbers that weave in the current
motifs of sex, anger, and rebellion against schools,
parents and police.
The events at Columbine High School are a great
example of how the lyrics of music affect listeners.
Police reports show us Dylan Kliebold, before opening
fire, was listening to a song by Ramstein that described
going into a schoolyard and killing'students. The song,
"Weisses Fleisch (White Flesh) goes as follows:
"You in the schoolyard I'm ready to kill
I hurt you and you cry out loud
Now you're afraid and I'm ready
My black blood soils your dress
I'm getting more and more excited by your screams
.. .hails into my sick brain
now you're afraid and now I'm ready!
My sick being screams for redemption
Your whitefleshbecomes my scaffold
There's no god in my heaven!"
This being said, the effect of music lyrics are the
medium for our actions as the brain is to the mind. Like
the brain, lyrics are a physical apparatus. And like the
mind, a medium is a use to which a physical apparatus
is applied. In addition, the lyrical content becomes a
medium as it employs a certain symbol or code (money,
power, respect), as itfindsits place in a particular social When asked about their song having such of an effect
on Kliebold, Ramstein stated, "There is no lyrical
setting.

Nevertheless, if we disregard the lyrical captivation
by the music industry, we appear to be left with the
irrefutable fact that such language in music allows us
to be increasingly primitive, fragmented, and largely
aimed at invoking a visceral response. Plato once
wrote about this, stating, "through foolishness they,
the people, deceived themselves into thinking that
there was no right or wrong in music, that it was to be
judged good or bad by the pleasure it gave... a spirit of
lawbreaking!"

�Protestors DO Support Their Troops
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
Since the
Bush
administration began to
work toward a war in Iraq,
there have been numerous
protests against the war.
The protestors have claimed
that peace is the route to be
taken. They have done this
a variety of ways including
the traditional peace walks
and demOTistrations but also
through emailing Congress
representatives
and
spreading the word about
peace through concerts,
flyers and emails. Many of
these actions have stressed
supporting peace. However,
protestors have constantly
been stereotyped as hating
America and being against
the troops.
Each protestor has his
or her own motivation for
wanting peace and many
have other interests, such as
being active in other groups
that are not necessarily
peace motivated. Some may
not like America and may
not support the troops. But a
large majority of protestors,
especially in San Diego,
do not share that opinion.
The protestors believe that
peace is the best possible
way to support the troops,
but those who are pro war
believe that the protestors
are against the troops.
We all have friends and
family who are serving
and many us know of
someone fighting in Iraq.
Claiming that protestors do
not support the military is
ignorance. *
America is privileged
because it is protected by
an armed force that consists
of volunteers, not draftees.

author David Lynch writes,
"Both pro- and anti-war
activists seem to agree
that we need to support our
soldiers. However, the two
sides disagree on the best
way to do it." It is unfair for
the protestors to accuse the
administration and pro-war
activists of false behaviors
and actions and it is equally
wrong to accuse protestors
of not supporting their
troops.
Protesting the war does
not equate hating this
country. A large number of
protestors realize that this
country enables them to
protest. Protesting the war
also does not equate a lack
of support for the troops.

I have had a huge
lesson in humility and
introspection over the past
few weeks. Also, with Earth

have been thinking about
a way in which I can help

health of the environment.
I have been using the public

emergence of fraternities,
sororities, clubs, and now
with the completion of
the new student housing,
it is obvious that CSUSM
is blossoming into a
prepubescent social being.
CSUSM is slowly straying
away from being classified
as a commuter school, and
is taking its place along
side other established
schools. Through this
metamorphosis, I feel that
there needs to be changes
that cater to the desires of
the student body, and not
solely to the infrastructure
of the institution.
Many students are
likely to argue that a pub
would not foster a positive
tradition, nor promote a
hçalthy social environment.
For some, a negative
impression that a pub may
make on the community,
is of concern, while others
simply just don't want a
pub. It would be ignorant
for me not to take these
opinions into consideration,
but ultimately, I would have
to argue that I see it quite
differently.
Growing up in Canada,
for the better half of nineteen
years, it is remarkable to
me that alcohol provokes

uneasiness among many
Americans. Respectively,

Also, you have to take
into account that driving

out there who have to pay

level of apprehension

sheltering of the student

I am not looking to be
sheltered or made aware
of the dangers of drinking
by the school. I understand
that the school is committed
to helping students make
healthy choices, and does
not want to promote alcohol
abuse to its students.
In a previous interview,
Jonathan Poullard made it
explicitly clear that revenue
from a pub would not aid
in the lowering of tuition,
parking fees, or book prices.
However, I feel that is not

of a future pub could be
built with the intention
that a percentage of the

the building of a parking
structure, or toward offering
students a larger amount of

books. Although it has been
made clear to me that this is
not how financial matters
of CSUSM work currently,
I rebut and say, if the pub
isn't built yet, then why
not make it that way? A
pub would not become a
"cash cow" for the school,
but more so a way for the
school to make money at
the will of students, instead
of in protest.

POSSIBILITY O F
L OSING THE PRIDE
Dear Pride Editors and
Staff:
I am deeply upset about
the possibility of losing
The Pride. It disgusts me
that The Pride is being
oppressed and stifled—and
may even be forced out
of publication—under the
guise of "budget cuts." It
is time we, the students,
start having a voice in the
priorities of Cal State San
Marcos. Imagine, a student
body impacting policy? One
might think I was crazy just
for suggesting it. The sad
reality is that the administration of CSUSM has no
interest in the student body,
except as customers to be
coddled. I am here to get an
education and to be exposed
to ideas and free thinking
^ and a student newspaper
is the very lifeblood of such
a campus-wide exchange of
ideas.
A student newspaper should
be able to operate with
impunity. The concept of a
free press was easy for our
forefathers to understand,
why does the administration feel they have a duty
to impose their narrow
perspective and questionable ideals on the only
outlet for free expression
on this campus? You can't
even post flyers at CSUSM
without approval. I will
stand for such repression no
longer, not when it threatens
a student run newspaper.
So I here pledge to The
Pride and to the administration of CSUSM that I will
respond to the termination
of this vital, necessary student newspaper with all my
power. Should The Pride be
forced out of print, I will
organize a walk-out and/or
a protest on school property,
and I will advertise such
actions and encourage other
students to participate. I will
contact all local news media
and tell them of our struggle, and I will invite them
to report on our protest—it
will make a story I am sure
will hold the interest of the
residents of San Marcos
and indeed the San Diego
community at large. I will
write letters to the editors
of all the major newspapers
in the San Diego area. If
such actions fail due to the
summer break, I will reengage them in the fall.
So I say shame on the
administration of CSUSM!
To put it in language they
might understand: this customer is most displeased. I
am displeased that the last
vestige of written communication on this campus
is being bureaucratized to
death. I am displeased that
the administration considers I came to this school eager
The Pride no better than a to participate in a meaning-
ful way. It is a shame I may
be forced to create such a
stink over something that
should never be considered
in the first place: ending a
school published newspaper. I feel a great deal of
loyalty to both CSUSM and
my fellow students, and it
is for this reason that I am
determined to SAVE THE
PRIDE!

considering that it's a commuter school

the mass of people cluttered around the

said Kilmartin.

Overall, the evening was a success.
Kilmartin mentioned that, "Despite the
fact that I was very tiredfromtraveling all

The constant uproar of laughter and utter
hysteria on the audience's part suggested
that they felt the same about Kilmartin's
performance. Heads shook in personal
testament and hands covered blushing
cheeks, all in unison and all in recognition
of the honesty in which Kilmartin made his
point. "I was leery at first when my girlfriend asked me to attend, especially as it

work. I might have an internship over
the summer in downtown San Diego that
might require me to rethink my entire
systemrightnow, but, until then, I will do
what I can.
Therefore, I am simply asking you to
think about just what you need your car
for. Think about if it's all that necessary
to drive your car to the store up the street
if you only need a few items. Can you
wait until the following day when you
have more time to do all you errands in
one trip? Can you walk to the beach, to
work, or to get your Starbucks fix? Do
you know somebody that you can carpool
with or that can carpool with you? For all
of us (myself included) that have griped
and complained about that parking fee
increase, which will not be decreasing
in the near future: think of the money
you could save if you could use another
method of transportation, or if there was
someone helping you out with the cost.
Walking is going to keep me in great
shape and since a huge criticism of the
U.S. is our growing obesity problem,
compared to that of Europe, you might
think twice about getting in that car to
go to the next corner where Burger King,
McDonald's, Taeo Bell and KFC and more
all wait for your return. I am also put at a
little more at ease knowing that I am doing
what I can to help eliminate extra carbon
monoxide and other dangerous pollutants
into the atmosphere by being one less
vehicle on the road.
I am in no way intending to preach and
if I have made any untrue statements or
judgments, by all means, let me know.
These are just some things that I have
noticed and that I wanted to make a social
comment on. So since Earth Day was on
the 2 2 of April this year and you are
all reading this after the fact, let this be
a reinforcement that awareness begins

what you can everyday. *

Opportunity Knocks: Career Assessment Center
By MARY SCHIEFELBEIN
Pride Staff Writer
There is a place at Cal
State San Marcos that offers
an abundance of resources,
a plethora of opportunities
and priceless guidance.
For those who ask about
the location of this place
this is on the fourth floor of
Craven Hall. It is the Career
Assessment Center - a
place that students may do
well to know more about.
The sign next to the door
explicates that employment can be found within
the walls of the Craven
4201 office. That is just
the beginning. There are
resources to the Career
Assessment Center (CAC)
that apply to every student,
from freshman to senior.
One helpful trait for students is that there is no
charge for services.
If employment is desired,
students may check out
the binders labeled OnCampus,
Off-Campus,
Non-Degree and Internships for several job opportunities. If contemplating
graduate school, there is a
library of information to
read through.
Some of the services the
CAC offers are mock interviewing to prepare students
for the real interview experience. Also in the center
are handouts that deal with
preparing cover letters,
thank you letters, questions
that can be asked during the
interview, how to dress for a
job interview, what to do if
the interview goes well, and
how to write an acceptance
letter. Using the center's
website at www.csusm.edu/
cac, students may select
the Salary Survey link that
shows how much of an
income will be necessary in
order to sustain a living in
any state of the U.S. There
is even information on how
to handle the more difficult
side of employment, that
of being laid off or downsized.
Seniors planning on
moving to another state
after graduation may utilize
what is called "Relocation
Resources" where a relocating graduate student can
find "east coast jobs" or
"southern jobs" depending
on their destination. There
is even an apartment rental
relocation guide in order to three to four more critiques
help find a place to live.

Since there is a deadline
to having the resume ready

recommended and cannot
be stressed enough that
ample time is given to do
resume critiquing services,
the costs run anywhere
from $50 to $85 an hour.
If students did not use the
center's service of distributing the resumes to some 50
companies that have signed
up to be a part of the program and instead chose to
use an agency, they would
have the possibility of getting a lower income. Their
future employer may pay
off the agency out of their
salary. For companies to
be a part of the distribution,
they have to sign up with
the center.
The CAC also offers a
variety of workshops, such
as "Get Registered and Get
a Job," which teaches how
to become a member to
the Cougar Trak and gain
access to online job listings, local and nationwide.
There are also links such
as Effective Interviewing,
Resume Writing, How to
Network, and Hot Tips for
Job Fair Success to help
students find employment.
these types of interviews.
There are also self-help
computerized tests to show
what type of personality a
student has, which could
help them figure out what
type of work they would
most enjoy. There is also
literature on what type
of job a student could get
according to their major, so
students interested in finding more about their majors

By MARTHA SARABIA
Lead Editor
Before CSUSM, there was
a chicken ranch. Before The
Pride, there was The Pioneer.
As with many things in life,
Cal State San Marcos's student
newspaper had a predecessor.
Now, after 10 years of The
Pride's establishment, it's time
to take a look back and see
how all of this started.
During the second year of
CSUSM in 1990, the students
got together to create their
own student newspaper. The
Pioneer was published for the
first time in Sept. 4,1990. The
first editor-in-chief was Larry
Boisjolie. Boisjoilie together
with Jonathan Young, assistant
editor, were in charge of the
paper until fall of 1992 and for
the first time ever on May 14,
1991, the student's voice was
published in color. The 11x13inch paper was published
every two weeks on Tuesdays
with an average of 16 pages.
In the spring of 1993,
Roman S. Koenig became the
editor. Then during the next
fall, Mary Zyterpakiewicz
became the new editor in
chief. The newspaper continued to be published every two
weeks and had an average of
16 pages, but was published on
Fridays. It was during that time
that The Pioneer looked for a
new name, in the You Name It
issue, and a call was made to
all the students to submit their
suggestions. On the November
5 edition in 1993, The Pioneer
became The Pride. The Pride
was the winning name submitted by Koenig. According to
the editorial published in that
same edition, this name was
chosen because it conveyed the
pride in oneself, one's school,
and one's community, as well
as meaning a group of lions,
which was appropriate because
the campus location was the
former home of the mountain
lion. At the same time the new
name was adopted, The Pride
obtained an office in ACD 208
and their first phone number,
which is the same of one of the
two current offices, extension
4998.
After that, Koenig shared
the editorship with Zyterpakiewicz in the spring and fall of
1994. During this period, the
paper was published every
other Wednesday, and ranged
from 8-12 pages.
In the spring of 1995, Derek
O. Smith became the editor-inchief. The paper was then published every Monday. However,
in the fall of the same year,
Koenig became once again the
lead editor and the paper went
back to being published every
Wednesday.
Nevertheless,
some new things happened.
The offices were moved to
Academic Hall, room 14-324,
the first fax number was given,
an online-version of the paper
was created, and there was an
advisory panel of faculty and a
staff of 6 people.
Tony Barton, the editorin-chief during the following
spring semester in 1996, had
an advisory panel of 8 members. However, from the fall of
1996 until the spring of 1997,
The Pride became an 11x17
inch tabloid size with 8 pages,
and Tom Nolan, a professional
journalist, became The Pride's
only advisor.
Then, in the spring of 1997
and the fall of 1998, the paper
went back to its old 10xl2-inch
size. David Johnson became
the editor-in-chief and Nolan
continued as the advisor. However, The Pride website went
dormant.
In the spring of 1999,
The Pride essentially died,
because no newspaper course
was offered and therefore
no support was given for the
production of the paper that
semester. However, because
of the dedication and commitment of a few individuals, The
Pride was reborn in the fall of
1999. The lead editors, Leiana
Naholowaa and Samantha
Cahill, together with literature
and writing studies (LTWR)
and women's studies professor Madeleine Marshall, who
became the second advisor,
reorganized the newspaper.
The newspaper went back to
its llxl7-inch size paper, and
was published on Mondays. It
was also basically put together
in the Commons 201 office,
which still is The Pride office
today. A class listed as both
LTWR 316 and communication (COMM) 316 was also
created for writers who would
help out with the production
of the paper. This is how
The Pride still works today.
Also, the position of graduate
intern was established, which

should read the law - the students
make those decisions. If this

lawsuits to reinstate the paper."

�What will be the future of First
Amendment rights on this campus? The
actions of the student affairs office, led
by Vice President Francine Martinez and
Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard, have
raised this fundamental question. Their
answer should be troubling to everyone
who values the free and open exchange of
information, for the simple fact that a press
is not free if it is expected to follow the
agenda of those who hold its purse strings.
Because of their decisions, the current
state of The Pride is in serious question.
Firstly, the higher ups have prohibited The
Pride from selling ads to businesses that
want to advertise any kind of alcoholic
drink specials. Poullard stated that the
words "happy" and "hour" should not be
seen next to each other in any ad sold.
Then Martinez said that using the phrase
"happy hour" was acceptable as long as
drinks weren't specifically mentioned, and
that we are free to sell ads to companies
that are in the business of exploitation i.e.
strip clubs.
work against promotion of alcoholism and
under age drinking. This attitude is a farce.
If the administration cares so much about
protecting students from ourselves, why do
they have an assortment of shot glasses for
sale right on campus in our own bookstore?
Cal State San Marcos is not a dry campus.
Even the incoming dorm students will be
permitted to drink in their homes, if of
age. Explain the logic behind this policy.
Regardless of the merits of attempting
to limit underage drinking, it is not the
administration's job to censor the primary
student publication. If they want to launch
an anti-drinking campaign, they should do
like everyone else and purchase ad space.
This action seriously cripples our
abilities as a newspaper to grow and
determine our own content. It is because of
The Pride's reliance on the CSU system for
financial funding that the administration
thinks it can dictate what is printed on
these pages. However, legally they cannot
punish The Pride when the content does
not meet their approval - this includes ALL

was little structure to the publication,
sometimes going two to three weeks before
turning out a new issue. Problems with
generating ad revenue made reliance on
the administration for financial assistance
all the more crucial. We have come a long
way since then.
The Pride is now open to anybody who
wants to take the course (communication
316 or literature and writing 316). We are
a regular paper that turns out 2,500 copies
per week and continues to increase our
readership. The ability to generate and
maintain enough ad revenue to move off
campus and work independently of the
CSU system would be the ideal way to
ensure journalistic freedom. Though The
Pride is not entirely self-sufficient, it is and
has been the common goal to become so.
Following the disagreement concerning
The Pride's alcohol policy, the
administrators decided to cut the graduate
intern position. Though the events may be
unrelated, this may prove to be the most
devastating blow to The Pride yet. Leiana
Naholowaa, the current graduate intern
makes $3,500 per semester, which is paid
for out of the office of Student Affairs.
What makes the matter worse is that
administrators have cut the position 'after
the advisor for The Pride applied for the
Instructionally Related Activities (IRA)
funding, which might have been able to
compensate for the loss. This means that
there is no way to subsidize lost funds.
Administrators made this decision after the
budget for next year was set in stone. This
means that there is no way to subsidize the
graduate intern position.
The graduate intern offers support in the
actual production of the paper, provides
an office presence for interested members
of the community and as a backup for
possible advertisers, and offers assistance
to an inexperienced group of journalists
and editorial team. This "by the students,
for the students" dynamic is crucial for this
publication to work, and for this publication
to work the presence of non-faculty veteran
leadership is essential. Putting aside the
ideological implications of losing the
graduate intern, the simple fact that this
would require the advisor to work the extra
20 hours per with no increase in pay. This is
both unreasonable and unacceptable.

Administrators say the position must go
because of state-wide budget cuts, but it
seems peculiar that the university would
cut such an important position days after
Martinez and Poullard disputed The Pride's
advertising decisions. The school is not
going to save very much money on the
graduate intern. It seems possible that the
real reason is that Martinez and Poullard are
not committed to a free press, and this may
be a haunting specter of things to come.
These
decisions
made by the
administration seriously undercut our
ability to function properly and have forced
our hand. We have chosen to respond in the
only way we know how — by reporting it.
Throughout his term, President Gonzalez
knew the importance of having a campus
paper and was one of our biggest supporters,
but in this time of uncertainty, no one seems
to want to even hear the case presented.
An institution without a newspaper that
strives to get bigger and better cannot be
considered a top quality university. Times
are tough, especially in regards to the
California budget, but do we risk taking a
giant step backward as a college press for
such a meager monetary amount? We have
to ask ourselves, what is the future of the
First Amendment on this campus?

the paper has gone a long
way since it was started,
it has room for more
improvements. For Naholowaa, who is now The
Pride graduate intern, this
can be done in all aspects
such as "production, online
collaboration, and working
with other departments on
campus besides LTWR and
COMM, which include the
College of Business and the
world languages department." Segall would like to
see the paper be more than
once a week, have more
pages, have more writers,
tackle more issues and
have more investigative
articles.

Marshall. Since the first

Dear Jpditors,

In addition to cuts in student services such as the

threatens access to higher
education for many of our
neediest and best qualified students like Graciela

student fee increases of up
to 25% for undergraduates
and 20% for graduate students. Also, ALL students
will suffer the effects of the
cuts if proposed reductions
in the lecturer faculty are
carried out.

�Library Responses to Your Suggestions
(April 2003)
The university library appreciates the time students have taken
during the last six months to
offer their suggestions, ideas and
complaints regarding the library
collections and services (in italics
below). We hope the following
responses shed some light on our
continuing effort to serve your
information needs.
population we had in 1997/98, so
we're long overdue for adequate
space. With the current space and
the existing size of our university
community, it is not possible to
have a quiet library. We try to
reduce the noise in some spaces
by designating quiet study zones.
Those don't work well because
noise-related events sometimes
occur there, or because groups
of people walk through them en
route to other (noisier) locations.

suggestion, we ordered padding

The War Debate
Strong Emotions in a
Sensitive Time
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
The College Republicans
and Progressive Activist
Network (PAN) hosted the
War Debate
Wednesday
at the Mezzanine Plaza
in a collaboration that is
considered rare because of
their differing ideologies. The
debate was held to discuss the
different aspects of the war,
f rom both a conservative and
a liberal perspective.
The event was mediated
by each of the College
Republicans
and PAN
presidents, Sean Mattingly and
Manal Yamout respectively.
Each organization supplied
one speaker to debate the
war. Shawn Steel, a lawyer
and former chairman of the
California Republican Party
represented the sentiments
of the College Republicans.
Sean Bell, veterans advocate
and vice president of the San
Diego Veterans for Peace,
chapter 91, spoke on the behalf
of PAN. Bell is also a former
marine who served actively
in 1990-1994, including time
in Iraq.
shouting and name-calling
at both speakers. Steel
commented that the protestors
had a "complete separation
from reality" and a "hatred
of America." Several students
yelled back "Who hates
America?" In response to the
question, "Why has this war
inspired the biggest anti-war
movement?" Steel responded
that is was not anti-war but
"pro-tyranny." A student
yelled that the debate was
a "travesty, [that] students
should be speaking, [and
that] there [was] too much
control."
Both Mattingly and Yamout
repeatedly asked the audience
to be respectful, but it was
often out of their control.
The speakers did not always
disagree. Bell commented
on anti-war speeches given
by former Presidents James
Madison
and
Dwight
Eisenhower, to which Steel
conceded that they were
appropriate
references.
They also agreed that
questioning the government
was not anti-patriotic. Bell

During the 1930's, Nazis burned
the works of famous intellectuals in
an attempt to keep their words and
thoughts from corrupting the citizenry.
It has been 70 years since this infamous
book-burning, but book burnings still
occur in this country on rare occasions,
one of the most recent taking place in
January of 2002 when the Christ Community Church in Alamogordo, New
Mexico, burned Harry Potter books and
some of Shakespeare's works, claiming
that they were "satanic depictions."
Book burning was more effective
before the days of mass printing, and
is currently used primarily as a shock
tactic. In the age of mass media, suppression of the actual text has been
much more common. Using legal means
to suppress a book began with the Comstock Act of 1873. Local and state censorship boards had their own obscenity
laws, regulating their own punishments
and standards, which applied to books,
devices, and films.
» —••
|
In 1957, the Supreme Court declared
that if a work of art had significant social
value, it was not obscene. The case was
revisited in 1960, when the Court added
that it was necessary to censor material
"lacking in social value" or that was "no
essential part of the exposition of ideas."
This vague language has allowed censors to declare texts obscene and not
defensible by the First Amendment.
Schools and public libraries often ban
books with questionable content that
they consider obscene. In the interest of
protecting minors, local school boards
have authority in deciding whether or
not a work is obscene in their district.
In the decentralized educational system,
small but vocal groups are able to influence boards and administrators. After
the implication of the Pico standard in
1975, where a high school student took
his school board to court for banning a
book, school boards are allowed to ban
works based on vulgar content, but not
for subversive ideas. When presenting
the case for banning a book, pressure
groups have to be careful to attack the
work's content, not its ideas.

The Center for Disease

a total of 2,781 cases of
SARS worldwide, with 170

In San Diego there has

Book Burners
Two of the most recent attempts to ban a book show the
struggle against the Pico standard. In 2002, Parents Against
Bad Books (PABBIS) in Fairfax, Virginia, attempted to ban the
historical novel Gates ofFire. The book was attacked as having
violence, profanity and sadism. It is set during the war between
Greece and Troy and aimed at older teenagers. The Fairfax
County school board voted to retain the book as an accurate
depiction of ancient warfare. Early in 2003, the Harry Potter
books were banned in school libraries in Cedarville, Arkansas. The review board claimed the books promoted magic and
witches and taught that "parents/teachers/rules are stupid and
something to be ignored." The case is currently in court, with
the defense arguing that the board banned the book for promotion of different ideas.

partisan disapproval." When asked if a special interest group,
such as a student organization or a major donor, had ever asked
that a book be banned, Stengel said he was unaware of any such
request. "We would take any such request seriously as an opportunity to discuss what we do and why," he added, "Which is not
to say we would agree to remove the book."
Another recent challenge to the Pico standard was the Children's Internet Protection Act. The law, which was proposed at
the federal level, required all libraries receiving federal funding
to install Internet filters, devices made by private companies
which block access to certain sites. Proponents of the law
claimed it would prevent children from viewing obscene material in schools and libraries. Opponents stressed that filtering
software was notoriously unreliable, blocking adult's access to
constitutionally protected material. They also argued that the
act would force adults to read at a child's level. The law passed
in Congress in December of 2000. Currently, the ALA and the
American Civil Liberties Union are challenging the law.
Among the most frequently banned books in public school
libraries as of early 2003 are The Harry Potter series by JK
Rowling, for their focus on magic and their anti-authoritarianism; the Alice series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor for sexual
content; I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
for racism, sexual content and language; and the Captain Article Three of the ALA's Bill of Rights says that librarUnderpants series by David Pilkey for "encouraging children ies should work with other groups to challenge censorship. A

Where's The Booze?
Part 2: The
Administration
By DAVE WERTH
Pride Staff Writer
The quest for knowledge
as to the history and idea of
a potential pub at CSUSM
continues. A small percentage of a powerful and
growing student voice has
been expressed thus far,
and now the issue becomes
clearer as the administration of CSUSM answers
the question: Where's The
Booze?
CSUSM Senior Director
for Health, Counseling,
and Disability Services
Susan Mitchell was more
than delighted to help
answer this question. She
noted that the San Marcos
campus is by no means a
dry campus. In fact, with
proper approval, beer and
wine may be served on
campus. In addition, the
new student housing will
not have a prohibition on
alcohol.
There is, however, a long
list of rules that accompany these allowances.
Policy states that alcohol
consumption is allowed in
student housing, as long
as the person is at least
21 years old. In addition,
large quantities of alcohol
may not be brought into
the housing. These large
quantities pertain mostly
to kegs of beer. How the
school plans make a judgment on large quantities of
hard alcohol and wine is
somewhat of a mystery.
The school policy for
alcohol
consumption
on campus differs dramatically from the student
housing policy. Alcohol
consumption by anyone
on the CSUSM campus
is prohibited, even if the
person is 21 years of age.
The exception to this rule
is if alcohol is being served
at a social, cultural, or educational related, that is a
school sponsored function,
and with approval from the
president's office. Approval
for consumption of alcohol at such an event must
be requested at least four
weeks in advance. There
also must be approval for
the use of facilities, along
with approval from several
different
administrative
offices. Even then, only beer
and wine may be served,
and it must be served by a
properly licensed distributor or catering service.
Although Mitchell provided excellent information
on issues relating to alcohol
within educational institutions, she also found herself
stumped as to why there is
no pub on the San Marcos
campus. She offered the
suggestion that a pub may
have never been suggested
by anyone, up to this point.
A fter a lengthy interview

Community perceptions of

the best answer that could be

C ONCERN
D ON'T ABUSE
YOUR F REEDOMS
I was pleased at the
overwhelming turnout of
students at the April 9th
war debate sponsored by
the College Republicans
and PAN. The event was
very well organized and for
the most part ran smoothly.
Unfortunately, there were
some people who chose
to disrupt the assembly by
inappropriately
shouting
out rude, personal, and
unfair comments, as well
as obscene gestures to Mr.
Steel.
As Americans, we have the
right to speak freely, but
this does not mean that we
have the right to use abusive
speech or encroach and
trample on other people's
rights. While I must
commend the majority of
the liberals attending the
event for not participating in
such immature tactics, I also
find it interesting that the
only individuals who chose
to act in such a manner were
the very same people who
advocated for "peace."
But then it was just last week
that Sen. Kerry, a Democrat
advocator of peace, said
that the U.S. also needs a
"regime change," which by
definition involves forcibly
removing a dictator from
power. While the "corporate
media" is quick to show
protesters in the streets of
New York or San Francisco,
the truth is that 78 percent of
Americans support the war
with Iraq, and 69 percent
of Americans approve of
the way Bush is conducting
the war (4/03/03, Opinion
Dynamics Poll).
Since these abusive words
of treason came from a
Democratic
presidential
candidate, it really is no
surprise that liberals on
campus would follow the
example of this country's
left wing leadership, and
encroach on Mr. Steel's
rights. Your words and
actions spoke louder than
the "peaceful" protest signs
of your movement, and
you truly showed the true
character of the bleeding
heart liberal.
Today, Iraqi's rejoiced in the
streets of Baghdad at the
toppling of Saddam's statue,
and the end of Saddam's evil,
tyrannical regime. May God

Dear Editors:
that the Iraqi regime might
hold against us? What are
our soldiers dying for?
Sure 82 casualties doesn't
compare to the previous
wars Americans have
fought in, but that is still 82
dead people and counting,
and thousands more lives of
friends and family that have
been drastically affected.
I know that many people
join the military for lots
of reasons, many of which
don't include protecting
the country, like benefits, a
stable pay check, to make
something out of their lives,
to travel, to get financial
help to go to school through
the G.L Bill, and as a way
out from any pressure at
home. Soldiers are owned,
which is why they're called
military property; their job
comes first no matter what,
and they don't have much of
a say in it either.
One can argue that even if
our first motive for the war
wasn't to disarm Saddam,
it is still our motive to free
the people from Saddam's
tyranny and oppression. We
have the ability and so it is
our responsibility. That is a
valid point. The people of
Iraq have been oppressed by
their own ruler and have the
right to be free. Many Iraqis
would want to live free and
not under Saddam's regime.
If we never find WMD then
of course our motive is to
free Iraq, but it wasn't like
that in the first place. It'
just funny how later on in
the war the ideal of freeing
Iraq
was
emphasized
more than finding and
destroying weapons of mass
destruction.

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

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

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

"Higher education has
become more important than
ever to ensure America's
economic prosperity, national
security, and health. Yet
swelling enrollments among
low-income and working
class families, massive state
budget cuts, and rising tuition
continue to strain our ability
to ensure access to a college
education for all Americans,"
said Representative George
Miller, the Senior Democrat
on the House Committee on
Education and the Workforce.
Miller, a Democrat from
California, introduced two
higher education bills to
the House Committee in
Washington on Mar. 18,
2003, known as the College
Affordability and Lifetime
Savings Act and the College
Opportunity for a Better
America Act.
According to the official
remarks made by Miller at the
presentation to the House of
Representatives, the College
Affordability and Lifetime
Savings Act proposes to help
ease the burden of student
loan debt for millions of
Americans. The act will
possibly change the current
student loan tax deduction
benefit to a tax credit - which
will deliver a larger rebate
on the interest paid on
student loans to borrowers.
The savings for the typical
borrower who is earning
$20,000 a year will more than
triple to $347 in theirfirstyear
of repayment.
The
Department of
Education has reported that 7
million students are expected
to take out federal student
loans to cover the costs of
their education this year

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

flopping
on tabletops like a fish out

"Women Rights" manual to
her audience.
This and many other unique

held on campus this month. "It
is a wonderful opportunity to
honor all those women before
us and today (including those
fictitious characters!) who
have worked and continue to
pave the way for equal rights,"
said Schaffman.
A panel made up of the
three
performers
gave
closure to the evening, as
the audience was encouraged
to ask questions and engage
with the current discussion of
Women's History Month and
Women's rights. The topics
addressed included the role
models of the three women,
which included mothers,
grandmothers, female artists,
and earlier "girl power"
movements in history as well
as the reasons each woman
gave for being active in such
an ambitious cause. When
rapper Goldstein was asked
about her f uture goals as an
artist she responded, "Being
Miss Liberty is all about
creating change and I plan on
doing it one rap at a time."
"It was actually pretty
shocking at first," described
audience member Ashley
Moses, "but I think that
was the point. I had never
considered some of the issues
presented by these women. It
really opened my eyes."

vary. James Gilmore, chair

they do."

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

into account issues of morality or
public opinion, the combination
of first-rate technology and the

to have captured America's attention.
The cast of the most extravagant show in television history
also proves to be rather impressive, as they have given life to
an otherwise run-of-the-mill
example of a military shellacking.

They are welcome to leave America and

communism is firmly entrenched. Surely
there are hundreds of Russian and Chinese

The Pride relies on a limited budget given
to them by the university in order to operate. Many stories have been held back
from staff writers because of the lack of
funding. Why can't the same rules apply
for The Pride newspaper and "In the Loop"
when it comes to advertising? Going this
route would give some power to The Pride
over what is published and what is not.
There are many bars and restaurants in
San Marcos and The Pride student newspaper, along with the bars themselves,
could definitely benefit from having their

I believe with the changing environment
going on at Cai State San Marcos there
should also be a change in the university's
primitive alcohol policies.
E ditor's N ote:
The Pride is currently undergoing negotiations with the office of Student Affairs and
Student Health Services in order to revise our current advertising policy. They have
been very helpful and hopefully we will see a change in the Pride's restrictions sometime in the near future. Stay tuned for further updates.
So the war has action,
intrigue and an extraordinary plot, complete with effects
that would give George Lucas wet
dreams. Add this to the fact that it
is brought to life by a gifted cast,
and by Hollywood standards,
you've got a winner. In almost
every respect it's the perfect
show. That's right, I said almost.
There are two key criticisms that
any true fan of high drama could
unearth with without much difficulty. First of all the name of the
war itself is somewhat lackluster.
George Bush Sr.'s war was called
Operation Desert Storm. Now
that was a powerful name for a
military campaign. Operation

second criticism is that it's just
not sexy enough. Every show on
television that is "all the rage" is
centered around sex. Let's face
it. Sex sells, and without it how is
the war supposed to compete with
shows like Blind Date, The Fifth

Yes, we all have a right to our opinions,
and we have a right to speak those opinions
freely. We don't have a right to abuse and
vandalize and assault. The Constitution
sanctions free speech; it does not sanction criminal behavior. Free speech must
be protected. Criminal behavior must be
prosecuted.

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

Recently, I read your article on
Medical Marijuana. I found it
interesting that California passed
a proposition for the growing of
marijuana for patients that need
it for medical purposes. I think
this is wonderful because of all
of the sick people that can really
use something to make them feel
better.
However, this adds "to my concern as to whether or not these

whether or not the reason why
children are using marijuana
today is because they have such
easy access to it. This access
is either through a loved one or
someone they know that is growing it or using it on a daily basis.
I am not saying that since terminally ill patients are able to grow
this product, then they are going
to give it out to everyone that they

need to change. I care very much
about those that are going through
great amounts of pain and suffering, however I don't think that
they should be able to grow this
plant in their own house. I think
that doctors should set up labs

them the right to grow marijuana
in their own homes is putting a lot

but to others as well. I think that
these patients should be allowed
to smoke this plant of their own
free will, however I believe that it
should be done in the presence of

Even though patients are
allowed to grow small amounts
of marijuana in their homes, it
seems logical that they would

In this time of uncertainty for
the United States, .it seems almost
frivolous to be discussing sports.
However* as a prominent American institution, ^sports are profoundly affected by major international events, such as the war
with Iraq. Interesting questions
have arisen, not about the content
of the games, but about whether
the games should even be played.
The leaders of all the sports currently in-season, which include
college basketball, professional
basketball, hockey, and baseball,
have given serious and well-publicized thought to this issue, but
thus far have all decided to let the
games be played as scheduled.
First and foremost, if sporting events were to be cancelled,
we would be letting the enemy
further affect our way of life.
Whether or not you personally
are a sports fan, there is no doubt
that sports play an intricate role in
the lives of many Americans. By

it is through postponing sports
or anything else, we essentially
bring the war home. That's not
to say we shouldn't show our support (or opposition) for the war,

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

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

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

17 percent of the total student population, students
elected a diverse new
student body government,
selecting candidates from
each of the three slates,
plus several write-in candidates.
Prior to announcing
the winners, Student and
Residential Life Associate
Director Gezai Berhane
reported that the voter turnout for this election was a
nearly 30 percent increase
over last year's 944 votes,
and a university record.
Election Results
ASI Executive Vice President Arti Patel congratulated everyone and commended them for "working
their butts off." Patel read
the list of winners and the
votes received for each

California's First Openly Gay Woman D.A, Visits CSUSM

Dumanis spoke with students about her experiences

states Dumanis, "when the

nobody will lose their job."
Dumanis also plans to
start a sexual assault division. Upon the establishment of this new division,
Dumanis wants to open old
murder cases and apply the
newest DNA technology to
them in order to see if the
appropriate criminals are
in jail, and to make sure
that there are no murderers
out in the general public.
Overall, Dumanis wants
to be remembered not for
her gender, sexual preference or political beliefs,
but instead for the D. A who
did the "right things for the
right reasons."

During her
lecture,
Dumanis also addressed the
gender barriers that permeated her political campaign.
"Many people thought I
wasn't tough enough to
be a D.A because I am a
woman," said Dumanis.
She continued to comment
on the nature of men and
women in law enforcement,
noting that men and women
simply respond differently,
but provided no examples.
Professor Garcia of the
Women's Studies department disagreed slightly
with Dumanis' assumptions
of the innate differences
between men and women.
Garcia asserts that gender
"is socially constructed, not
biologically determined."
Women respond differently
than men because "this is
how they were socialized to
'do gender' and not because
it is something biologically
innate."
Fortunately for Dumanis' campaign, she is an
experienced county clerk,

"and I think it worked to

and Tierney also attribute

and a series of defeated
obstacles, such as negative
perceptions of her gender
and personal lifestyle.
Historically, as maintained by the San Diego
County Registrar of Voters
since 1991, San Diego
County is a more conservative region, meaning that

in reference to feminine
acceptance based on a compliance with an imposed
cultural standard, "but

Besides the negative
cultural perception of her
gender, Dumanis didn't
get the support of her own

her gay lifestyle, according to her close friend and
political consultant Jennifer Tierney. Many friends
and colleagues tried to get
Dumanis to switch political

Keith Speers from page 1
Speers was responsible for
working with the ASI board
of directors and overseeing
that ASI staff implements
the board's goals. The
executive director serves as
a member on the division of
student affairs senior management team and directs
the financial, risk management and developmental
aspects of ASI.
ASI staff has refused
to disclose Speers' salary.
However, in a copy of
the Fall 2002 ASI budget
obtained by The Pride, it
was acknowledged that
$201,517 was allotted for
the salaries of the part-time
and fulltime professional
staff, who included Speers
as executive director; Poggi,
who was then the assistant
executive director; Marilyn
McWilliams as administrative assistant; and Helen
Hinton, program director
for the Early Learning
Center. Hinton is no longer
on staff with ASI.
The board appointed
Poggi as Interim Executive Director at the Mar. 14
meeting. This position, as
determined by the board,
will last for one year. Poggi
has been with ASI since
Mar. 11, 2002. She said that
she "wants to become the

said, then Tierney added,
"but he didn't have the support of San Diego lawyers,
and that helped a lot."
Paul Pfingst, the incumbent, earned a vote of no
confidence from the county
prosecutors' union after a
series of events that called
Pfingst's ethics into question. Dumanis capitalized
on the scandals, which
according to the North
County Times included
two "gender discrimination lawsuits that cost the
county more than 1.25
million dollars," as well as
a history of marijuana use.
"Everything was truthful,"
Tierney said, "but we just
didn't show the incumbent
in the best light."
and installment of Poggi as
interim should be a smooth
one, which should not result
in any "break of business."
Both Brown and Poggi
believe that the student
population will not notice
the change in leadership.
The approval of the official copy of the minutes
from the Mar. 14 meeting
is on the agenda of the next
meeting of the ASI board,
which is scheduled for
Mar. 28, in Commons 206
from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Once
approved, these minutes
are available upon request.
However, it is possible
that the released minutes

Battling Pinky Boys and
Promoting Sacred
Slack
By JEFF BROWNLEE
Pride Staff Writer
The Church of the SubGenius is an unabashed
cult. It is among a group
of "new" religions that
many may not be familiar
with. The movement was
conceived and designed
using academic studies of
cults and cult phenomena.
Religious cults typically
provide their members with
an all-consuming imperative goal to pursue, which
if examined rationally will
often make no logical sense
at all. For the sub genii, this
goal is the pursuit of slack.
are notoriously difficult,
time-consuming to grow,
and plagued with problems,
including pests. According
to McWilliams, it takes
about four months for a
plant to fully mature from
seedlings. He has invited
patients, police officers, and
city council members to his
home to view the garden.
Although it is behind a
protective fence, he says
that he has been very open
about his activities.
Another ubiquitous characteristic of religious cults
is the veneration of a leader
whom followers view as
having a special connection
to the divine. J.R. "Bob"

Master and High Eptot,"

Nonetheless,
a

reveals some
consistent ideas. They
believe that the planet
Earth is under the control of an immensely
powerful extra terrestrial
being, Jehovah 1, who is
an essentially selfish entity
but one that can be placated
in order to achieve "slack"
for humanity. "Slack" can
be defined as getting something for nothing, or as
having more than enough
time to do everything one
wants to do. Slack is a state
of being very similar to the
Christian notion of living
under Grace.
The sub genii have been
involved in working with
Jehovah 1 for millennia,
with the goal of creating a
paradise on Earth. These
sub genii have been consistently thwarted by sinister
"Pink Boys" who insist on
perpetuating false notions
such as economic scarcity
and the law of preservation of energy. The pink
boys seem to be some kind
of malignant cabal dedicated to keeping humanity
enslaved to capitalism and
conventional
morality.
They are responsible for our
modern systems of ethics,
religion, and economics
that deprive individuals of
their Jehovah 1-given right
to slack.
Year in and year out, the
sub genii predict a cataclysmic apocalypse to occur
on July 5, and the church
celebrates accordingly each
year on that date. The failure of such an apocalypse
to actually occur has led
some to suggest that sub
genii merely use this supposed day of reckoning as
an excuse to hold riotous
parties, though the church
denies this.
Those interested in a
religion that can be used
to justify almost any kind
of hedonistic excess and
not opposed to exposing themselves to further
spiritual confusion as well
as to possible police surveillance can contact the

some moves with the performers
as well.

some of the basic steps from each
of the dances performed. They
danced some Middle Eastern
moves like the rump 'shaking shimmy' that characterizes
Middle Eastern folk dance. They
also enjoyed dancing with partners in some of the traditional
dances that have originated in
Oaxaca.
Both the audience and the performers were happy to interact

To Mr. Brian Dobbins and his
conservative counterparts:
The founding trio has seen
the site continuously grow since its inception. In its first year and a half the site has
seen some 335,940 visitors and is now
celebrating its 25,000th individual evaluation and its 10,000th different professor
evaluated. The site's traffic rating has
made them one of the largest college sites
in the world.
Upon browsing the site I found it to be
informative as well as entertaining. First,
at the top of every page is the Quote of the
Moment, in which amusing quotes from
Homer Simpson to George Carlin to Dan
Quayle are shown. Then in the evaluation
section is the A+ Club where the best-rated
professors are showcased. Another section
is titled Q&A with Ross, where questions
are posed and Ross attempts to respond
in a humorous manner, and is oftentimes
successful. Kasey on College is yet another
section of the site that attempts to offer
advice to issues of college life in general.

my favorite part of the site is the Hilarious Posts segment. This is a section where
peoples' funniest quotes on prof evals are
selected for viewers to read. Some of them
are absolutely ingenious, and I recommend
at least visiting that particular part of the
site.
Out of simple curiosity I decided to
check and see if any of my professors had
been evaluated and was disappointed to
find out that although one of my instructors
was evaluated, there was only one other
evaluation of a professor f rom CSUSM.
My hope is that with this article, this trend
will change, so log on and offer an evaluation for a professor that you feel strongly
about, whether it is positive or negative.

Sandy Punch, director of
the Career and Assessment Center said, "I think
considering the current
state of the economy, this
fair was a big success.
[Job seekers] got quality
time with the districts, and
overall, districts seemed
positive about hiring our
candidates."
56 school districts and
teacher recruitment centers throughout California
and Nevada came to talk
to the 412 candidates
looking for jobs as teachers. These districts all
had jobs for graduating
students; they did not just
have promises of jobs,
but j obs that are available
now.
Sheldon Kelman will
graduate this May from
the CSUSM credential
program, and he reported
that it was a "Great job
fair, [but he was] a little
disappointed there wasn't
more out of state school
districts." Natalie Metras,
also graduating in May,
said that the overall fair
was a "Great presentation; [recruiters] were all
so helpful." She went on
to say the teacher prep
program was very helpful
and that the College of
Education taught her just
what she needs to know
about looking for a job.

Gonzalez Leaves CSUSM for CSU Sacramento
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
At the California State
University Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting it was
decided that CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez
would be the next president
at CSU Sacramento. Following the two-day meeting, the BOT announced
their decision Thursday,
March 13 at Cal State Fullerton.
It seemed from an early
start that Gonzalez was
favored to be the new
president at Sacramento.
Gonzalez was the only
finalist who had worked
in the CSU system and he
had been personally asked
by Chancellor Charles B.
Reed to apply for the presidency. There was further
speculation that Gonzalez
would not have applied if
Reed would not support his
candidacy. Gonzalez has
denied this and believes
that the other two finalists, law professor J. Clark
Kelso and University of
Houston President Karen
Haynes, had equal opportunities for the position.

University Village has hired the first
nine resident advisors (RA's) for CSUSM's
new student housing, which is scheduled
to open next fall. The advisors* current
CSUSM students, are nervous, anxious,
and excited to set the bar for future
RA's, and to blaze a trail for the future of
CSUSM's 24-hour campus community.
Although the residence hall will not be
ready until next September, the RA's are
already working in full swing to prepare
for what they feel is a very exciting event.
They are currently giving tours of the
housing facilities, assisting the University

create what they feel is a very important

"Put

words of wisdom capture the

Hello,
my
name is Sean
Mattingly,
and I am running for ASI
President. Myself, and my slate
(Mattingly, Dalmann, Lynch) all
have the same united platform,
which we feel best represents
what the typical CSUSM student
wants to get from their college
experience. I feel that ASI does
not have enough communication with the student body, and
we want to change that. ASI is
government for the students, by
the students - so, let's keep it
that way! There are a myriad of
reasons why I am running, but the
overall reason is my motivation to
serve. Service and integrity are
of utmost importance to my slate
and me. Please visit our website

My leadership
experience
in
the Navy has
taught me how
to handle a crisis
and to accomplish the mission
by finding creative solutions for difficult problems with few resources. ASI's
mission is to represent CSUSM's
diverse population by providing
services to support students, their
organizations and providing a student voice. The state budget crisis
has endangered that mission. My
mission is to use my leadership
experience to ensure the funds are
available for ASI to accomplish its
mission through successful business operations; accountability
for spending, increasing outside
business operations, and reevaluating its non-performing assets.
While the mission has changed,
my drive to succeed has not. Vote

Arguments AGAINST:
I feel at this time the school and
students we still in a "commuter

huge impact now, but should be
proposed at a later time, perhaps when there is more school
involvement with the dorms being

immediate impact on the atmosphere of the school.
Arguments FOR:
I agree to increase the IRA fees

By AMBER ROSSLAND
For The Pride
As a productive member of the
CSUSM student community, I
reached for the stars and strived
for excellence. I was on the
dean's list of academic excellence
during every semester of my college career. Taking five classes a
semester, maxing out on credits,
and putting in a 40-hour workweek, I managed to complete
every course I thought I needed
for graduation.
Apparently,
however, hone of these achievements served as a measure of my
success in the jumbled graduation
advisement and evaluation process at CSUSM.

Unfriendly Environment
On Thursday, Feb. 27, the editors
of The Pride were shocked to learn
about the possible departure of
President Gonzalez from CSUSM
- from the pages of the San Diego
Union Tribune and the North County
Times.
interview about the matter - than
most full time reporters. When
we are given more notice, we are
more able to-accommodate the busy
schedule of a university president
and other important sources for the
article.
CSUSM's
external
affairs
department, headed by Rick Moore,
failed to include The Pride when
"courtesy notices" were sent out to
the other papers on Feb 26. Moore
finally notified us on the morning
of Feb. 28.
But perhaps that's the point. This isn't
thefirsttime that The Pride has been
'unintentionally' left out ofimportant
events that are occurring on campus.
Many of you may remember last fall
when one of CSUSM's own students
had disappeared and
tragically committed
suicide.
Moore's
office and the local media had a press
conference with Alex Zingaro's
parents while the search for him was
still on, but The Pride was once again
left out of the loop - we found out
about that press conference from the
local papers as well.
Moore would have us believe that the
reason for the delay is because, as he
put it, the daily papers need more
notice than The Pride, which is a
weekly paper. We argue that we, the
only student-run press of CSUSM,
need as much notice as possible —
specifically because we are a weekly
paper. We don't have the luxury of
a staff of full-time (paid) reporters
that can drop everything and cover
aritory. Furthermore, as students we
are less able to arrange our schedules
in order to accommodate the
availability of President Gonzalez
- if we are ever to hope for an
You are told to trust advisors,
ask them what classes to take, ask
them to evaluate your graduation
requirements, but when it comes
down to it, you are left alone to
deal with the consequences of
their errors. What kind of system
is CSUSM running where it takes
so long for them tofigureout that
you are missing a class that there
is no way you can even register
for it until a year after the fact?
This is a small university right
now, but looking into the future,
what are they going to do as it
grows? Will it take them a year
after you're gone tofigureout you
need one more class? Do they
expect you to drop your entire life
and move back to take one class
because of their mistake? I wish
I knew.
Moore's actions speak louder than
his words. Without allowing us
access to the story, we fall behind the
local papers in covering the events
on our own campus. How can we
ever hope to establish a successful
journalism program at CSUSM i f
the student newspaper is neglected
so blatantly in the face of real news?
We're not asking for an exclusive, but
we do expect equality.
Our question
then
to
the
administration is this - i f we are
to prove ourselves in any capacity
to be a legitimate news medium
indeed the only free student press at
CSUSM, how are we supposed to do
so without university support? The
administration tells us
that we are customers
of this institution of
higher learning, and yet they leave us
in the dark and fail to notify us when
something important happens. This
i s incredibly bad customer service.
EDITORIAL
In the past, Moore and other members
of his office have been quick to tell
the editors and staff writers that he
is "one of us." We have listened to
him tell us all about his stint with
other college newspapers, and what a
supporter he is of student journalism.
Moore's oversight in not notifying
The Pride staff of this important
story, and others like it - whether
it was intentional or nót - is
inexcusable. We are tired of being
ignored Mr. Moore, and we expect to
be notified in the same way and at the
same time as airy other newspaper.
�C AMPUS LIFE
(for 24-hour permits) will
resemble the current rate of the
general permits that are offered
to all CSUSM students." First of
all, how is the term "current rate"
defined? The current rate of spring
passes is less money than the
raised price fall passes will be, and
the residence halls are scheduled
to open in the fall. So what price
will the residents be paying? No
matter how much the cost, student
residents will have a "reserved"
parking spot for the semester.
At least campus residents, in all
fairness, will have the privilege
to park on pavement for 24 hours
while many of us continue to park
in the mud and be out of the lot by
5:30 or fined.
Dear editors:
Many students complain that there
is never anything to do on campus,
that we don't have an active
campus life. But considering
the fact that we are a commuter

PARKING ISSUES
Dear Editors:
After reading The Pride article,
"CSUSM is becoming a 24-hour
campus," I was relieved to find
out that the university is indeed
concerned with the parking issue
here on campus, that is, only for
the fall residents of the University
Village apartments. According to
the article, a 24-hour parking lot
is currently under construction to
accommodate the 460 students
that will occupy the buildings
scheduled to open in fall '03. I
have yet to hear of any near future
solutions to the current parking
crisis on campus, but at least the
University Village residents will
be taken care of.
According to the article, "Prices
I have no doubt that fall admissions will once again exceed the
parking availabilities for commuter students, but does this lack
of spaces for Village residents
mean that regular parking will be
even more impacted during class
times? During the 2002-2003
school year, Cal State San Marcos
admitted more students than
parking accommodations were
available for. We are dreamers if
we believe this will change any
time soon, especially because the
more students the university lets
in, the more funding it will have
toward the parking structure that
our children who attend the university will get to use. Why didn't
the University plan for population
growth and facility expansion
long ago?
It is easy for administration to
decide that parking rates will
go up due to their lapse in logic
while the number of available
spaces will stay the same. And
now, the concern of the university
goes to the village residents and
their parking facilities. It must
be a coincidence that the students
who will be contributing more to
CSUSM's profit will be likewise
rewarded with benefits. It is clear
that Cal State is an institution for
the capitalists and by the capitalists, and it is tragic that money and
not education is the driving force
behind the school. If I am going to
be treated like a consumer at this
university, then at least give me
some consumer rights.

Fifteen bucks. Fifteen one-dollar

you've pretty much spent the

If you're like me you probably
don't pay much attention to what
the heck it is that our semester

you really should. In a nutshell,
some of the major programs
the IRA fee helps fund are; the
Arts and Lectures Series, the
Pride Newspaper, Intercollegiate
Athletics, the Pow Wow, and the
Intercultural Speaker Series. The
IRA fee has been $5 per semester
for the past 12 years and as we all
know, the cost of everything has
gone up. In order to bring our
campus in line with the average
for all CSU campuses (range is
$4-$ 111 per semester), there is a
referendum up for a vote March
17-20, asking for small increases
over the next 3 years. The first
increase would be from $5 to
$20 starting this summer with
subsequent $5 increases through
2006, bringing the total to $35.
I realize that all of us were hit
with some pretty big increases

H OW THE WAR IS
AFFECTING M Y
P OCKETBOOK
Consumers,
When I first arrived in Germany
in September of 2002, before
war with Iraq was imminent, the
exchange rate between the Euro
and the dollar was slightly in my
favor. In general it was about a 1
to 1 ratio. This meant that I easily
avoided the task of converting
amounts in my head when making
purchases or having to carry a
pocket calculator with me at all
times. A shirt costing 5 Euro was
5 dollars to me, and taking out
300 Euro was 300 Dollars. With
the US on the brink of war I have
watched the Euro grow to become
stronger than my buck. The 10cent difference since September
may not seem like a lot, but 10
cents on ever dollar means 30 lost
when I take 300 out of the ATM,
and it adds up. Since then, my
fellow American students and I
are constantly watching the rates
stray from our favor. One student,
enraged when she found a few
hundred dollars to be missing
from her bank account, realized
she hadn't been calculating the
exchange rate difference since it
had so drastically changed.
This war is affecting my pocketbook. It hasn't even begun (officially) yet, and the speculation
has weakend the American dollar.
My current Professor who is from
Australia even remarked that the
Australian dollar is the strongest
its been all year in comparison to
the American dollar. This is new
tome. I grew up in Detroit, on the
US Canadian border and fully took
advantage of the great exchange
rates to go shopping or go on a
short vacation. When I moved to
San Diego, I found the same luxuries in Mexico. As an American, I
always thought exchanges would
be in my favor. This is a metaphor
for how I thought about cultural
relationships as well. In the past,
I believed that being an American
meant that people around the
world looked up to me. That I had
the better lifestyle and cultural
values. I didn't go around flaunting it or anything, but the bias
existed within me, and I didn't
even realize it until I ventured off
US soil for more than some cross
cultural shopping or a vacation.
how much they love America and
would like to live there, but that
I have met just as many people
who aren't at all thrilled with the
American way. This is perfectly
ok with me, in fact its wonderful.
In the same way I appreciate so
many things that my American
lifestyle affords me, others should
bask in the sunlight of their cultural values too. It is what makes
the world worth experiencing.
Adaptability is the key, not letting your cultural norms blind you
from seeing another way and view
on doing things. I only wish that
I could get my 10 cents back for
every time I have realized this.

POLITICS
Dear Editors:
A recent exchange of editorials in
The Pride newspaper regarding a
liberal bias on campus has deeply
troubled me. The latest response,
written by Sean Mattingly (junior,
Business)
was
particularly
specious. In it, he calls for liberals
to "have a little respect for your
country, its history, its founders,
and your freedom." Although no
one would argue with the ideals
his statement embraces, such
words do little to address the real
issues that endanger freedom in
our world today—nor do they
encourage the kind of constructive
analysis that is essential to any
thinking individual.
When we do take the time to study
our nation's history, we learn that
the struggles that have defined this
country are far from simple—they
can't be easily couched into a
neat little package and stamped
"freedom." The story of America
is, in fact, the story of the struggle
between classes. This is not, as
Mr. Mattingly suggests, "only in
(our) mind(s)." There is no liberal
or conservative here, no right
or wrong—just facts inherent
to capitalism. Higher education
is a place for questioning and
reasoning, not a place for parroting
half-truths and clichés.
The fact that this nation was born
from—and developed alongside—
the class struggle is not something
to ignore in the name of some
larger sense of nationalism. What
we get then is only an ideology of
ignorance, and that is certainly not
what we all agree makes America
great.
Today exposure to the real issues
and perspectives from both
sides is very hard to come by.
The media system is controlled
by a handful of international
corporations and real investigative
journalism is fast becoming a
casualty of bottom-line profits.
Although it is difficult to gain
exposure to "both sides of the
coin," this is exactly what we must
strive for: a true understanding of
Living in Germany I see how
the motives behind the policies

their rules, systems, and ways
of doing things. Not to say that

determine our freedoms. We
must remember that money is a
very powerful motivator in the
contemporary world. We must,
especially as scholars, pursue all
avenues of thought and make
assessments of those perspectives
based upon knowledge. What I am
talking about here is intellectual
responsibility. There is nothing
more patriotic than this.
It is time to start demanding of each
other—and most importantly, of
ourselves—a greater commitment
to civic responsibility. This means
we must move outside the boxes
of thought that are imposed upon
us when we turn on the television.
We must remain skeptical—all
thinking people do. Today it is
more important than ever to do so,
as our country prepares to engage
in war, and likely without the
support of the United Nations—a
body politic that stands for the
collective voice of the civilized
world. Only through careful
consideration can we become
constructive participants in the
noble struggle to achieve "a
new birth of freedom—(so) that
government of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth" (Abraham
Lincoln, 1863).

Okay then, why not go to another
country just for a few years, then
come back, look us in the eye, tell
us life is better somewhere else,
and prove us wrong? You do that,
and we'll shut up about it. In addition, you praised Michael Moore's
Bowling for Columbine, which
showed Canada to be a "progressive, egalitarian society..." Funny
I don't see Michael Moore packing up and leaving either. I did
not mean to go on such a long
tangent, but I felt those issues had
to be addressed. In closing: this is
a public institution. And therefore
it is wrong to use people's tax dollars in support of one set of beliefs
over another. As my father likes to
say, "the only place where communism still thrives is the American University system." And you

here - are living proof.

INALIENABLE RIGHTS
Dear Editors:
I am responding to the editorials
in the 03.11.03 issue of the Pride.
I would first like to point out that
not all conservatives think like
Mr.Mattingly. Mr. Mason put it
succinctly that Mr. Mattingly's
views "were perhaps branded at
a young age." I agree that his
verbiage comes across a bit terse
and offensive at times and it may
be due to his limited exposure to
differing opinions from his own.

regard each others as equals. So
why are we living under a constitution that declares this inborn
right? If we all believed we were
truly equal, we would treat everyone with the respect and compassion that we desire to be treated
with. We would look at a situation that places inconveniences
in our 24-hour day and take it
for what it is: a passing, fleeting
instance. "This too will pass."
Sometimes, it takes a bigger
person to stand up and do what
is right instead of continuing this
cycle of negative debate. At some
point, we need to allow "bygones
to be bygones" and start over on a
clean slate. In doing this, respect
must be extended to everyone on
both sides of the coin in order to
facilitate this free exchange of
ideas.
We live in a very populated world.
People are not going to disappear.
So, why not enjoy them while we

DRIVING M E C RAZY
Dear Editors:
I was simply making a left turn
the other day when I discovered
what the majority of Americans
are made of. I was calmly waiting for the light to turn green. As
I heard a horn honk, I glanced
to my right to be faced with
a woman, in a red sports car,
screaming obscenities, waving
her hands in the air, implying that
she demanded I move my vehicle
forward so that she could make a
right turn.
On another note I have noticed
while driving to school as well
that trees along interstate 15 are
being cut down. While at the
same time landscaping is being
done at CSUSM. Why some
effort can't be made to relocate
these trees to CSUSM so that
students can enjoy them for years
to come. Even though it may not
be cost effective the beautification
of CSUSM is priceless!

Dear Editors:
Early in the morning on March 1st,
the ten members of Cal State San
Marcos's Model United Nations
team headed off to compete in the
prestigious Long Beach Model
United Nations Conference. It
was held aboard the Queen Mary,
where delegates represented
the nations of Cuba, Serbia and
Montenegro, South Africa, and
Turkey.
To these delegates, the conference
marked the end of a grueling
month-long preparation process
which consisted of biweekly
late night meetings and hours of
research undergone by each of the
members, who were responsible
for learning the policies of their
nations, and the issues that
would be discussed during the
conference. Issues ranged from
the restoration of Afghanistan to
peacekeeping operations.

our delegates were the passing of

TUESDAY. MARCH 11. 200.1
Results of Survey show CSUSM leads in Writing, Technology, Number of Commuting Students
By GABRIEL MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
The results of the 2002
National Survey of Student
Engagement (NSSE) have been
released and Cal State San
Marcos has received high marks
from students for the third year
in a row. The survey compares
the responses of incoming freshmen and graduating seniors to
those in master's level institutions across the country, as well
as other schools in the CSU
system.
The NSSE survey has been
conducted every spring since
2000. The survey items examine the extent to which students
exhibit "good educational practices" as determined by a consortium of national educators. The
questions ask students to estimate how much time they spend
on such activities as writing and
group work. College staff is not
involved with the survey. The
Center for Survey Research at
Indiana University compiles the
questions and randomly selects
which new freshmen and graduating seniors receive it. 367 San
Marcos students were chosen to
take part in the survey, which
was distributed to around 80,500
students nationally. More than
half of polled students even

�Fall 2003 Commenoement Ceremony Not in Budget Plans
By JULIE MYRES
Pride Staff Writer
Spring commencement ceremony is held every May for
graduating students who have
finished both the fall prior to
that spring semester as well as
those who have completed their
degrees that semester. Cal State
University San Marcos does not
have plans to hold a fall commencement ceremony similar
to the spring commencement.
The fall 2003 graduates will be
included with the spring 2004
graduates in May 2004 at whichever venue the commencement
committee decides upon. Fall
2003 graduates will be given a
small reception in their honor
at the end of the fall semester in
December 2003.
The commencement ceremony
is the usual pomp and circumstance walk-through ceremony
like high school and university
graduations. The graduates
wear robes, walk up to the stage
in front of friends, family, and
all other graduates in order to
receive their diplomas for the
completion of their degrees.
The Fall Recognition Recep-
tion, which will be held in the
fall graduates' honor after the
fall semester, consists of a small
reception with refreshments,
speeches from members of the
administration, and takes place
in a casual atmosphere. The
graduates' names are not read,
they do not wear a robe, and they
do not receive their diplomas up
on stage. In years past, President
Gonzalez, Dr. Martinez, and the
ASI President have spoken at the
reception. Historically, this gathering has been held on campus.
Is there a possibility of holding a real commencement ceremony in the fall?
"At this time, no," According
to the vice president of student
affairs, Dr. Francine Martinez,
"The costs associated with planning and holding a full commencement ceremony are prohibitive. Additionally, extensive
research in the CSU has shown
that there are no campuses that
hold a fall commencement ceremony. In response to student
requests we instituted a Fall
Recognition Reception in Fall
01, continued in Fall 02 and are
already making plans for Fall
03."

writing requirement is much
more stringent here than at other
schools, particularly in composition of short and medium length
papers. The learning of a second
language is not a requirement at
many schools, and graduating
seniors are much more likely to
learn a second language before
they graduate. Students at San
Marcos report a slightly larger
emphasis on analysis and incorporation of abstract theory than
at other master's level schools,
particularly at the freshmen
level. Seniors at San Marcos
are slightly less likely to learn
through repetition of memorized material than other CSU
students, though nationwide and
at the freshman level there is an
equal emphasis on memorization.

Past commencement ceremonies for CSUSM have been held
on campus at Forum Plaza, but
because of construction projects in that area of campus, the
ceremony was moved to the Del

What can students do to voice
their opinion on this topic?
"Over the next few months
elected ASI representatives will
be going to students and asking
for comments/thoughts on these
opinions; students should take
the time and respond. Additionally, we will plan to have information tables set up on Forum

CSUSM students are also significantly more likely to use the
Internet as part of class work,
as well as to communicate with
other students and faculty via
e-mail. They are more likely to
make presentations and work in
groups on class projects. Compared to other CSU schools, they
are more likely to ask questions
in class. Despite the heavy workload, CSUSM students say they
are happy with their education
and would enroll in this school
again. More CSUSM students
reported that their class work
makes them better writers and
more technologically capable
than did students at other
schools. San Marcos students are
also happier with their faculty
than other CSU students, though
nationally the response to faculty

said to be similar to the fall of
2002 numbers, but data is still
being gathered. The deadline
for spring 2004 graduation is in
late September, so the figures for
spring 2004 commencement will
not be available until sometime
after the deadline.
Marcos is only slightly different from the other CSU schools
in this regard, but much more so
than national schools, especially
among freshmen. Also, students
at San Marcos are less likely
to work in internships or apply
what they learn in school to their
current jobs, and less likely to
interact with faculty outside
of class. San Marcos students,
seniors especially, reported that
there is little support on campus
for non-academic needs, such as
family or social issues.
The commuter nature of
the campus is another distinctive feature of CSUSM, a trait
shared with all CSU schools.

Men's Golf Team Takes First at
CSUSM Golf Tournament
By GABRIEL MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
The CSUSM men's golf team finished
in first place at their 2003 Cougar Classic
on March 4 . Thefinalscore for the team
was 866 (291-282-293). Sophomore Ryan
Axlund said, "The team is starting to
show its potential and I am excited about
the way we are playing." The two-day
tournament was held at the San Luis Rey
Downs Golf Course in Bonsall. Seventeen men's teams competed in the event,
as did six women's teams. The men's
course covered 6,750 yards, with a par of
72. Three rounds were played.
th
By the end of the third round, the San
Marcos team had a score of 866, leading
them to a very close first, ahead of Cal
State Bakersfield who had a score of 867.
Cal State Stanislaus came in third with
873. Tying at fourth, with overall scores
of 882, were Grand Canyon University
and Southern Nazarene University.
Commenting on San Marcos' first
place position, Axlund said, "As soon
as we start getting too comfortable with
where we are in the standings and stop
putting forth the effort I know we can,
the other schools out there will pass us."
When asked if he felt that would happen,
he replied "Not at all. We are all good
players, and we will just keep playing."
The men's next golf tournament will be
on Mar. 17, hosted by Drake University at
the Diablo Grande Golf Club.
The team was brought to thefirststanding with junior Rob Keller leading, who
finished sixth overall. Keller's final score
was 216 (69-75-72). Junior Cory Scoggin was ranked 67 after the first round,
and improved by the final round to finish
twelfth overall,
with a score of

By MARY SCHIEFELBEIN
Pride Staff Writer
For the second tournament of the
season, Cal State San Marcos held their
2003 Cougar Classic Golf Tournament
at the San Luis Rey Downs Golf Course
in Bonsall. The two-day tournament
started Mar. 3 and hosted six women's
golf teams, as well seventeen teams for
the men's golf tournament. The course
was 6, 365 and par 72.
Closing out the Classic tourney on
Mar. 4 after two rounds of the course
was the Southern Nazarene University
of Bethany Oklahoma in first place with
654 (334-320). The Cougar's golf team
followed three strokes behind for second
with 657 (333-324). University of British
Columbia placed third with a score of 659
(336-323); Lewis-Clark State College of
Lewiston, Idaho, placed fourth with 690
(349-341). One stroke behind them was
University of Victoria, British Columbia
finishing infifthwith a score of691 (351340). In sixth place was UC Santa Cruz
closing with 817 (401-416).
The course was packed with golfers,
and it was a lot of stop-and-go from
teeing off at one hole and waiting for
the next to clear. Weather was on the
compliable side for opening day, and the
women's golf team gave a respectable
performance by finishing in first. The
second day weather conditions were not
so forgiving because of the rain. Junior

with senior Robin Shaft placing second

Two strokes behind was senior Jennifer

Cal State San Marcos had the
pleasure of hosting the Guerrilla
Girls last Tuesday, and the sold
out show began at 6 p.m. in the
Arts building. Born in New York
City in 1985, Guerrilla Girls
started as a public educational
campaign, fighting against the
devaluation of women in art
and science culture. Guerrilla
Girls have produced over 100
humorous, sarcastic, in your face
and, to some, offensive posters,
stickers, books, printed objects,
and billboards as their voice.
Over the year they have been a
part of events that have exposed
sexism and racism in politics, the
art world,film,and the culture at
large.
Monkeying Around
The show opened with the
infamous Guerrilla Girls coming
down the aisles, adorned in true
jungle drag fashion (mammoth
size gorilla masks and black
attire) and throwing bananas out
to the audience. The Guerrilla

W omen's H istory Month
By ARACELIB. CATALAN
Pride Staff Writer
Learning and thinking about
societal norms will be the emphasis of Women's History Month at
CSUSM - cultural life, political
life, and social life. The societal
realization and coming of age of
the strong, intelligent, and hardworking woman is the reality of
what a woman is today.
The events this year on campus
will consist of various events that
will be held on campus from Mar.
4 through Mar. 27. One of the
scheduled events for Women's
History Month at CSUSM is
"The Feminism Is For Everybody
Panel, which will be on Mar: 19,
2003,Sfid the host of the panel will
??
be Dr. Maribel Garcia, professor
of Women's Studies, along with
guest lecturer, Professor Denise
MacNeil. Dr Garcia stated,
"This student panel is intended
to answer the question, 'What is
feminism?' by addressing critical
issues ranging from feminism,
welfare reform to feminism, and
the Father's Right's debate. The
objective is to both educate and
empower young men and women
by discussing contemporary
issues of race and gender. It will
address the importance of our
role as women and men in today's
society by introducing the audience to women's studies."

Conference that was held on Mar.
7. Jennings commented, "Most of
our students, who have grown up
in the 1980s and 1990s, and know
the women's rights movement as a
part of history; they weren't there
to experience it. But they, both
men and women, are also products of that history, of all the hard
work, sacrifice, and commitment
it has taken to empower women
and move closer to equality." The

One of the show's highlights
was when a student from the
crowd, junior liberal studies student Nimitz Bagtas, volunteered
to be a part of the Guerrilla Girl's

as a woman, donning a skirt and

Another show highlight that
received a round of applause
was when junior communication
major Honee Folk stood up to say
she did not realize how underrepresented women were in the art
realm and that she could identify being a black woman. She
said she really appreciated the
Guerrilla Girls for bringing that
to her attention. Folk also said
that there's a significant chance
for the women at Cal State San
Marcos to be underrepresented
with the ASI Elections coming
up. Though the ratio of women
to men at San Marcos is 60 to
40, only three women are running in the elections, so there
is great potential for the student
government representatives to
be all male. One of the Guerrilla Girls asked her if she was
running and just as Folk replied
with a "yes!" the crowd broke
out into applause, whistles and
"Women's History Month is a
time to celebrate women and
their accomplishments. Women
have always made a difference
and significance in our society,
along with men, but have never
been acknowledged due to being
a woman, in our male dominant
society." Women from Cal State
San Marcos (CSUSM) will share
their experiences, knowledge,
and adversities from all lines
of work. From women artists,
authors, elected officials, scholars, CSUSM, and community
women from all over - will reveal
their experiences of what being a
woman in our society today has
meant to themselves and to fellow
Linda Pershing, director and women.
professor of CSUSM's Women's Studies program stated,
A whole series of events, performances, panels, and workshops
are entailed for this very, big
event of Women's History Month
at CSUSM. Women's suppression,
subordination, achievements, and
accomplishments of the past and
present are going to finally be
recognized. The contributions of
women have been overlooked for
so long from a historical point
of view. Women are still struggling to find themselves, fighting
for equality, genderism, racism,
sexism, and not finding total
equality, but equitability in our
patriarchal society.
shout outs.
The show closed with questions from the audience. "How
many Guerrilla's are there and
does the group consist of many
ethnicities?" asked a member of
the audience. One of the Guerrilla Girls replied that there are
many women of different ethnic
groups, different sexual orientations. Another response from
the Guerrilla Girls regarding
their diversity was that "some of
us want a piece of the pie, some
of us want to blow up the whole
system." They were questioned

Jewish migration into Eastern
Europe. The Jewish religion
forbade playing music except on
holidays or at weddings, and only
acapella singing was permitted
in the Temple. Klezmorim, the
musicians who played klezmer
music, were often traveling
musicians. The rising popularity
of klezmer music reflects the
increased interest in many ethnic
types of instrumental music,
including folk music, African,
and Celtic styles.

Goldberg and Gunnar Biggs on
double bass played a duet, "Tender
Shepherd," which Goldberg
dedicated to her daughter and the
spirit of her father. The musicians
faced each other and played as if
they were having a conversation,
one instrument speaking, then
the other responding. The
contrapuntal effect of the two
lines of music moved the piece
forward, and kept the audience
involved.
All the musicians were on
stage for the two final pieces of
klezmer music. The first was a
traditional wedding piece, often
played as an improvisation.
Imara and Goldberg played the
sax, each taking turns making
their instruments cry and wail,
perhaps mimicking the mother of
the bride. The musicians laughed
as they enjoyed the improv, and
the audience began to clap in time
to the music. "Broiges Tanz," or
The Dance of the In-Laws, was
thefinalpiece.
This group of musicians clearly
enjoyed playing together as much
as the audience enjoyed listening
to them. The hour passed too
quickly, and then the audience
was on its feet clapping and
whistling in appreciation for an
all-too-short evening of klezmer.
�THE PRIDE
Dear Editors,
Regarding Jamal Scarlett's Feb.
18 article, there is no doubt in my
mind that there is a liberal bias at
Cal State San Marcos. The faculty
being liberal is a small problem. The
big problem that I have is the fact
that the Cal State system is liberal in
general, and tends to tilt towards the
left. Here is what I mean.
1) The majority of the Cal State
Schools have done something I find
to be unpatriotic, especially during
this period in which the U.S is getting
ready to defend and preserve freedom around the world. We no longer
celebrate the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln and George Washington on
President's day, or Columbus Day,
to name just a few. Those holidays
have been moved to December, a
month during which school is out
for three of the four weeks. Instead,
we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.
. Day, and Caesar Chavez' birthday. I
find that an insult to our founding
fathers. Lincoln and Washington are
two importantfiguresin our history.
To me it sounds like the liberals that
made this decision are trying to be
"Politically Correct," and not offend
anyone, that is unless they are 'Dead
White Guys'. People have often
accused liberals of being Un-American, well this is just one example to
show that the facts are there.
2) Inviting a leftist liberal like
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes
Norton to speak at our school, with
no balance of inviting someone
on the other side of the political
spectrum shows liberal bias. Where
were Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly,
Michael Savage, Pat Buchanan, and
Bernard Goldberg when they were
doing their book tours? Not here.
I can go on and on, but I am sure that
we all get the point by now.

S peaks at C al
S tate S an M arcos
By ADRIAN CUNDIFF /
Pride Staff Writer
Last Thursday, room 240 in the
new Arts Building was almost
filled to capacity as Nobel-Prizewinning economist Douglass C.
North answered the question,
"Why are some nations wealthier
than others?" as part of the
CSUSM Arts & Lecture Series.
According to the official
website of the Nobel Foundation, in 1993, North and fellow
Economist Robert W. Fogle were
co-recipients for the Nobel Prize.
They won it "for having renewed
research in economic history by
applying economic theory and
quantitative methods in order
to explain economic and institutional change." Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, North
was accepted to go to Harvard
but opted to attend the University
of California at Berkeley because
his family had moved to San
Francisco. In his college years he
was actively involved in student
liberal activities and was opposed
to US involvement in World War
II, until Hitler invaded the communist Soviet Union. His acceptance of Marxism in his college
years helped North to build the
argument about the importance
of legal institutions, but he saw
flaws in the ideology itself.
Ideologies and belief systems
can significantly slow down
economies, according to North.
He also reasons that governments
don't always think rationally,
and that many times their way
of thinking affects the decisions they make about economic
policy.
North compared an economy
to a football game. For example,
in a football game there are
formal and informal rules and
the referees serve as enforcers
of these rules, said North. If refSee NOBEL WINNER, oase 2
essary to remove PPA from the
market.
Consumers who have any
doubts about PPA or products
containing it should consult a
pharmacist and proceed to find
alternative drugs that do not contain PPA. The FDA also urges
consumers to stay away from
chain e-mails discussing PPA,
as the information may not be
accurate nor backed by the FDA.

the state government refused to
take responsibility for actions,
which denied eligible voters their
rights of suffrage. According to
the documentary, the African
American community admitted
that they could have tried to
better educate the voters about the
possibility of being turned away at
the polls.
Following the movie, Rolison,
using data obtained from the
website of the American Civil
Liberties Union, gave a brief
overview of the 2000 election,
explaining that 14.4 percent of
the votes that were rejected came
from African American voters,
while only 1.6 percent were nonBlack. Byron added that according
to www.gregpalast.com, voting
precincts in Black areas were
lacking in high quality voting
technology, while in many white
communities the technology was
available and untouched. Advanced
voting equipment ranges from the
form of the voting ballot itself to
new machines that are used to
interpret or read/count the votes.
from
lectures, the floor was opened
to questions. There were many
questions from students, ranging in
topic from the voting procedures,
African Americans, and the current
political situation in America,
particularly with the ensuing war
in Iraq. Rolison and Byron, as well
as PAN member Erik Roper, were
happy to give their opinions.
This event was a unique
opportunity to have two campus
clubs join together, and to
inform CSUSM students about
an important aspect of recent
American history.
PAN can be reached via their

�Intervarsity Christian Fellowship Fosters Friendships
By JEFF BROWNLEE
Pride Staff Writer
Students looking for an
opportunity to "yell and scream
and get rowdy" in a Christian
environment may want to check
out Cal State San Marcos'
Intervarsity Christian Fellowship
(IVCF). The reference to yelling
and rowdiness is not an accidental
interpolation. This is a quote
from Nichole Jester, student
leader for the IVCF, describing the
fellowship's projected activities
during their upcoming trip to
Catalina. Jester took care to
create an image of the IVCF and
their mostly evangelical Christian
members as friendly and outgoing
and to deliberately smash the
stereotype of Christians as dour
and repressed zealots.
to Jester, the IVCF is a vehicle
through which Christians can
socialize and support one another.
IVCF student leader Darlene
Rodriguez described the IVCF as
a "place to be noticed," then went
on to detail an informal grapevine
that has grown up within the
fellowship. "If a member has a
problem, other members know
and respond with help and
encouragement". Rodriguez was*
quick to distinguish this network
from and ordinary gossip pipeline
saying "members care about each
other like a family."
The concert will feature the wellknown Christian rock band Eso.
The event is entitled "The Edge"
and will also feature popular
evangelist Ryan Pfeiffer and an
unnamed opening act for Eso.
During the upcoming spring
break, the IVCF is sponsoring the
aforementioned "rowdy" trip to
Catalina. According to Jester and
Rodriguez, the IVCF has their
own private section of the island
where they will stage, a week of
activities centered on a study of
the Gospel of Mark. Jester made
it clear that the IVCF's activities
are open to non-members and
non-Christians. The IVCF wants
to provide a drug and alcohol free
environment in which all students
can socialize.
To the end of providing
members with opportunities to
socialize, the IVCF supports
many activities. Last semester
the fellowship sponsored a game
night bonfire and a movie night,
among other activities. On The upcoming Billy Graham
March 7, the IVCF will sponsor crusade on May 8, 9, and 10 is
Friendship and accessibility

IVCF. At its core, according Calvary Chapel, San Marcos. IVCF is providing evangelism
training for members in order to
coincide with the event, as well
as helping with event publicity
and set-up.
During the summer months
some IVCF members will
participate in mission trips that
can take them to foreign nations
such as China and Ethiopia.
These mission trips also can
include service in urban areas of
the United States.
Though
theologically
committed to Orthodox Pauline
Christianity, the IVCF encourages
anyone interested in the Bible
and Christianity to attend their
meetings and Bible studies.
Jester welcomed members of
other faiths to check out the
IVCF. Both Jester and Rodriguez
emphasized that the IVCF is an
egalitarian organization where
all members are encouraged to
participate in leadership. The
IVCF's membership contains both
those who were raised in religious
households and new converts.
The group also cultivates ethnic
and racial diversity.
The IVCF fellowship meets on
the Cal State San Marcos campus
Mondays l-2pm, Tuesdays
both 12-lpm and l-2pm. These
meetings are held on the grass
triangle between Craven Hall and
University Hall on thefirstfloor.
Wednesday meetings are held
in University Hall 442 l-2pm.
Meetings start with an informal
social period, followed by a Bible

Red Cross Performs Emergency Services for Armed Forces

�Preparing For Transition
CSUSM Is Becoming a 24-Hour Campus
By SARA COLBRESE
Pride Staff Writer
Change is waiting in the wings
as CSUSM's University Village
Apartments are scheduled to
open soon. The apartments are
scheduled to open their doors in
September, when 460 resident
students will be invited to transform a once small commuter
college into a 24-hour campus
community.
"The campus community will
change greatly as a result of
having students on campus all
day and all year/' stated the director of Student Residential Life
(SRL), Bridget Blansnshan. The
University Village staff is working in connection with SRL and
other departments of CSUSM,
such as The Dome and parking
services, J n order to prepare for
this transition.
When completed, the new student-housing complex will consist of three apartment buildings.
Each building will house approximately 52 students on each of its
three floors. Students will have
the choice to live in either a two or
four bedroom home, which they
will share with three other roommates. Each apartment includes
its own kitchen, two bathrooms,
and a dining/living area. There
are also laundry facilities located
on each floor.

the well being of the student residents at University Villages.
In continued efforts to create a
strong community among the residents, University Village plans to
have specific programs that target
new residents, which aim to ease
their transition into college life
and to living on their own.
"We'll have a lot of incoming

�Democracy of Hypocrisy
Part One: Global Politics
By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN
Lead Editor
It amazes me sometimes that
people can be so hypocritical.
Many men and women define
themselves by the definitions of
one political ideal or another,
and yet when the day of reckoning comes for their beliefs, they
so quickly and radically change
them. I'll be honest. I usually
vote Republican. I also believe
that affirmative action, in principle, is a good thing. I believe
strongly in the importance and
significance of the women's
movement, and no, I did not vote
for Bill Simon in the last election.
So don't try to label me. It won't
work. I lean far left of center on
some issues, but I also have guns
in my house. Maybe this allows
me the freedom to be reasonable
about politics.
I recently asked someone
(a liberal by most definitions)
whose opinions I respect why
there was so much opposition
to President Bush's policy about
Iraq. When Former President
Clinton sent troops storming
into Kosovo to take down Milosevic, no one complained. When
Clinton ordered troops deployed
to Somalia to try and end the
oppression by vicious warlords,
no one objected. So why is it that
now there is so much resistance?
Saddam Hussein slaughtered
hundreds of thousands of people
when he invaded Iran and
Kuwait. He murdered a hundred
thousand of his own people in
order tofieldtest his chemical
weapons. He destroyed his own
ecosystem when he set the oil
fields ablaze ten years ago, and
he openly admits to wanting to
occupy the entire gulf region and
hold, single handedly, the world's
largest supply of oil. We know
he's a tyrant.
Who cares about propaganda
from either side at this point?
Does the past mean nothing?
Are Hussein's own words meaningless? Surely the global community did not give so much
consideration to Milosevic and
the Somali warlords!
Her answer to me was that
there is a certain level of anxiety,
because of the current administration, that this proposed war
with Iraq could be because of the
oil. There is a suspicion about
holdings in oil companies and
ulterior motives on behalf of our
current leaders. That doesn't
necessarily mean that the left
thinks it IS over the oil, but that it
might be. I honestly don't under- So how is Hussein different

suspicion, but I can accept that. ' how is he different from a young

important. The solidarity of our
nation and its people were more
important to me.
T heism in a n E volutionary S ociety
By JAMAL SCARLETT
Pride Staff Writer
In another period, the belief that
humans naturally evolved from a
puddle of primordial ooze would have
been absurd. The mere notion that
once immaterial and purposeless ooze
becoming a material and purpose-driven
person would have been incongruous.
However, in previous years the notion has
survived and 'evolved' into the primary
view of science.
Science by definition is the observation,
identification, description, experimental
investigation, and theoretical explanations
of phenomena. Science excludes
everything but the material and the
natural. You cannot study anything that
is outside of natural processes. By means
of science, you cannot study spirits or
God because they are outside of the
material and the natural. One would then
objectively presume that through the
venue of science alone, we could not know
everything.
According to the dominant view
of science, this statement would be
uneducated and short of thought. What is
outside of science is outside of reality. The
scientific processes are the only way we
can really know anything. With this view,
so engrained into the realm of Academia,
it almost seems impossible to look at it
any other way.
Yet "more thari 47% of Americans
believe in a Creator as well as 40% of
Americans believing in God-Guided
Evolutionary science," according to a
January 1993 First Things article. You
might ask: how is it that so many believe
in a theistic evolution? Is it hard to
distinguish between evolution and what it
accepts to be fully naturalistic and outside
the reach of a Creator? How are words
used to transform the way we see the
subject at hand?
I believe much of it has to do with our
unfamiliarity of the subject matter and
the ambiguity of the terms' implication to
society.
Evolution: According to modern
science, Natural Evolution is the random
sequence of events involved in the
evolutionary development of a species
or taxonomic group of organisms; it
fundamentally assumes that the foires , I
of nature alone are adequate to explain
everything that exists. It does not accept
creation in a theistic sense. It only
involves blind and purposeless processes.
It cannot be a process in which God
employed, due to employed purposeless
matter. Random mutation and natural
selection produce everything.
Creation is an effort to give scientific
support for the truth of the account of
creation given in the Book of Genesis.
It is the divine act, which, according
to various religious and philosophical
traditions, brought the world into
existence.
Theistic Evolution is an attempt to
bridge the gap of Evolution and Creation;
Belief in the existence of a god or gods,
especially the belief in a personal God
as creator and ruler of the world and
interpreting "scientific" discovery as
God's pre-determiriing process.
Why would this be so disturbing to the
theist? Well, because it rules them out of
the circle of the Intelligentsia since science
can't explain God. What is inadequate
evidence becomes evolutionary fact. So
it is not that God does not exist, but that
we wouldn't be able to know throughout
scientific investigation. Following the
guidelines of scientific investigation, God
might as well not exist.
Now that we have ruled God out of the
question of origin, it can only be through
random genetic changes and natural
selection that we have come to exist. It
is not because anybody has seen these
changes, but that there is no other option
available to science.
God then becomes a cultural and moral
icon. God becomes a subjective idea
based on our personal feelings and not
an objective authority based on the way
God created human nature. One of the
leading proponents, of evolution; Stephen
J. Gould writes in Science magazine: "I
regard the both religion and evolution as
of equal dignity and limitless contracts.
They don't conflict because science treats
the factual reality while religion struggles
with human morality." He quotes science
and religion as SEPARATE but EQUAL.
Yet the undeniable fact is: someone is left
sitting in the back of the bus.

Dear Editors,
I am writing to point out an
apparent error in the opinion article
of February 18, 2003 by Jeanne
Raup Sapp "English as Official US
Language". A quick check on the
US Department of Justice website
reveals that, contrary to what is
indicated in the article, "...an ability
to read, write, and speak English"
is, in fact, a prerequisite for becoming a naturalized citizen. Here are
links to relevant websites:
http://www.ins.usdoj .gov/graphics/

http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/
services/natz/general.htm
The U.S. has also subsidized
the war efforts of Israeli terrorists who commit atrocious
acts against Palestinians.
The U.S. supplies Columbian
paramilitary forces that have
subsequently eliminated thirty
thousand dissidents. Supporting terrorism in the name of
democracy is reprehensible.
Furthermore, Saddam never
kicked the U.N. inspectors out
of Iraq, as it was actually the
U.S. who asked the inspectors
to leave Iraq in 1998 when our
extensive bombing raids , eradicated a schoolhouse full of 400
children.
screwing over veterans like Mr.
Dobbins on their "guaranteed"
benefits, and an administration
full of chicken-hawks clamoring for war that are intent on
world domination, he has convinced the people to support
his unnecessary, unjustifiable,
unprecedented "war on terrorism," which magically shifts
its boundaries to encompass all
those he deems terrorists.
Containment has worked
thus far and worked to topple
the Soviet Union, a far more
dangerous enemy. We need to
step up the inspection process
and lift some of the economic
and medical sanctions that have
already caused half a million
deaths in Iraq. Is a war that will
surely destabilize the region,
increasing the likelihood of
more wars and terrorist attacks

option? I think not.

Since we are doing our best to become a
legitimate source of news to the students,
faculty, staff, and surrounding community at CSUSM, our efforts to teach
our staff writers about the folkways of
journalism must be respected. Don't put
pressure on them to print your picture or
run your story, just because you have them
in class, or because they are your friends.
And don't ask to see things before they
are printed. It's unprofessional. We are
doing the very best we can, with what we
have, to be professional to the best of our
capacity, and when members of the faculty
and staff undermine that professionalism
with favoritism, it messes with the whole
process.
So next time you think that The Pride
doesn't cover things that are relevant to
the campus, or you have a complaint that
something is not being covered, why not
send us a letter and tell us? Or better
yet, join the staff and help to institute a
change? Or if you have sent letters to our
advisor or to the CSUSM director of communications, complaining about what's
published in The Pride, you should send it
to us, because after all, we are the editors.
There are too many people on this campus
—as in life— who like to complain about
the 'way things are,' who are also unwilling to step up and accept the challenge to
become part of the solution. Don't be one
of them.

students are looking for ways
to subsidize their education
costs. For several years, the U.S.
Department of Education (DOE)
and the State of California have
made financial aid available
through a program called the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The deadline
for applying for student aid for
the 2003/2004 academic year is
March 3.
Anyone with a high school
diploma or General Education

Lady Cougars Finish 12th at Lady Aztec Invite
THE PRIDE
By MARY SCHIEFELBEIN
Pride Staff Writer
'rising water,' [which means that when] you are
standing in wet ground and your feet make the
water rise, you can move your ball."
The CSUSM women's golf team opened their
spring season by finishing in 12th place with a
score of 670 (334-336) in the Lady Aztec Spring
Invitational, hosted by San Diego State University.
The two-day tournament, which started on February 17,2003 at the Lake San Marcos Country Club,
consisted of 15 teams competing on the on the 5,
885 yard par 72 course.
On the final day, Seguro moved up from the first
round to finish in 39th with a second round total of
164 (85-79). Thys finished 50th with a score of 167
(83-84), Shaft shot 169 (84-85) to finish 55th, while
Goss placed 63rd with 172 (84-88), and Tunzi shot
176 (83-93) to finish 72nd.
This particular tournament was held in a "shotgun" format. Instead of having different tee times
to begin their game, these golfers were assigned
different holes to start at, enabling the competing
teams to begin swinging simultaneously at the
signal of an actual shotgun.
After the opening day of the tournament, the lady
Cougar golfers placed 13th with junior Erin Thys
leading the way with a score of 83 a (43-40), senior
Jennifer Tunzi equaled her teammate's score of 83
(41-42). Creeping close-behind was sophomore
Stephanie Goss who shot 84 (42-42) along with
senior Robin Shaft's 84 (41-43). Merely two strokes
behind her was junior Stephanie Seguro, who shot a
score of 85 (43-42).
When commenting on the challenges of the
course, Seguro explained, "Lake San Marcos
[Country Club] is a very difficult course in many
ways. The greens for the tournament were very
unforgiving and the pin placements were very difficult, as for the overall conditions it was very wet
and mushy out there due to the rain, so many times
the girls and I had to get relief from wet muddy
places."
She explained that in order to find relief, "you
have to find the nearest point where you can drop
your ball in a dry area that is no closer to the hole.
You have to make sure with your group whether it
is an okay spot. Also, you can use the rule called

When asked how he felt about how the team did
in the Aztec Invite, head coach Fred Hanover commented, "The team did okay but each of the 5 who
played is capable of doing great things on the golf
course." When inquiring about requirements for
the team to make Nationals, Hanover explained that
our women's golf needs to be in the top 25 in golf
stat rankings in order to qualify for Nationals.
Though it was University of Kansas who placed
first on the first day of the tournament, Texas Tech
pulled ahead with a top team score of 609 (307-302)
pushing University of Kansas to second place with
a finishing of 613 (304-302). In third place was a
two-way tie between host SDSU finishing at 620
(305-315) and Cal State Northridge shooting 620
(310-310). Finishing in fifth was Colorado State
University with 622 (311-311).
Thys commented on her goals for season. "My
personal goals for the season are to attend every
tournament. I am focused on keeping my game
as steady as it has been and was at the Aztec
Invite...looking at what I would like to see happen
for the team, I know we can place in the top three
at nationals in Florida, and I want us all to focus on
that. We have a strong team, as well as two great
girls who are about to graduate, and who I know
would love to see us go out with a huge boom."
The next tournament for the women's golf team
will be a two-day event hosted by Cal State San
Marcos at the San Luis Rey Downs Golf Club
through March 3rd and 4th.

CSUSM students will soon
have at their disposal a state of the
artfieldhouse, located west of the
near-completed student housing.
Scheduled to be completed by the
end of this summer, the facility is
the brainchild of ASI, along with
many other intimate partners.
According to the campus website,
its purpose is to serve "as the
center of the campus community,
by developing and maintaining
facilities which enhance the
quality of campus life, and [by
supporting] the educational
mission of the University through
social, recreational, cultural and
educational programs." It will also
be the base camp for the future
physical education program.

of Gordon's achievements in the
past," Helene donated what would
be the largest single donation
from a living person in CSUSM's,
at that point, 10-year history,
totaling $1.2 million. "Athletics
was Gordon's life in so many
ways," Helene reminisced in an
interview with Coast News, "The
field house is a fine way to honor
him and to help so many young
adults."
In addition to the $1.2 million
donation, Helene's endowment
was instrumental in obtaining a
matching grant from the Kresge
Foundation. With just under a
third of the estimated $7.1 million
cost accounted for, CSUSM
students voted in October 1998
to increase student union fees for
full-time and part-time students
to $50 each semester, in order
to raise additional support for
the field house. The plan is to
raise approximately $4.7 million
over the next four to five years.
The rest of the money has
come from private donations,
approximately $2.5 million at last
count, according to Arlene Ruiz,
assistant to the vice president of
External Affairs.

Pocas son las personas que se
imaginan las ciudades de San
Diego y Tijuana juntas, unidas
formando una sola ciudad, sin
una cerca metálica ni diferencias ideológicas dividiéndolas.
Sin embargo, la imaginación del
colombiano Bernardo Solano y
de Alian Havis es tan futurística
y progresista que este sueño se
convierte en una realidad en
Nuevo California.
Esta obra dirigida por Sam
Woodhouse, se sitúa en el año
de 2008 en el cual un gran terremoto destruye la ciudad de
Los Ángeles y las ciudades
fronterizas de San Diego y
Tijuana pronto serán unidas.
No obstante, la obra demuestra que más que una cerca
inquebrantable separando estas
dos ciudades, existen muchos
prejuicios entre unos y otros.
Estos mismos prejuicios y estereotipos son los que no permiten
que los habitantes se den cuenta
que entre los dos países hay más
similitudes que diferencias.
Vega, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Steve Lipinsky, Catalina
Maynard, Gino Montesinos,
Raquel Presa y Sylvia M'lafi
Thompson son los actores que
conforman esta obra. Este
grupo actoral de San Diego
y Tijuana representa la gran
variedad y diversidad de las
comunidades que viven en
esta región fronteriza donde
no solamente hay mexicanos y
norteamericanos sino también
asiáticos, afroamericanos e
indios americanos añadiéndole
así una realidad muy esencial a
la historia.
Algunos de los personajes en
la obra dramática musical son
Sin Fin, la cual habla un idioma
futurístico donde el spanglish y
la rima son elementos importantes, el Papa Felipe que trata
de unir a las dos ciudades, y

que Maggie Flackett se niega a

los americanos y mexicanos
respectivamente.
Para la realización de esta

Even A Blizzard Can't
Chill The Fire In Her Soul TO HIGH GEAR!
By ERIK ROPER
Pride Staff Writer
Last Monday, February 17, at 7pm
in ARTS 240, Cal State San Marcos
community members came to hear
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton
and her biographer, Joan Lester, speak
about the life and times of Norton.
Their visit to Cal State San Marcos was
scheduled as part of a multi-campus tour
throughout the US. The tour is meant to
promote the recently completed biography
by Lester of Norton's life and times, Fire
In My Soul The book came out about a
month ago and is already in its second
printing.
Unfortunately, due to an historic blizzard
that was swirling about the east coast at
that time last week, Norton was not able
to attend since all flights in her area had
been grounded. As ASI President Jocelyn
Brown welcomed those in attendance and
gave them the standard, "We've got good
news and bad news..." line, an audible
sigh could be heard from the crowd of
approximately fifty people. But even
the bad news was not as bad as it could
have been, because shortly after Brown's
introductory remarks, audience members
were treated to the disembodied voice of
Norton piped in via speaker phone. Norton
apologized profusely for not being able to
attend, adding that, "I've been snowed out
of California - and the loss is all mine."
Fortunately though, her biographer,
Lester, was able to attend and speak very
eloquently about the extraordinary life of
Norton.
Lester began her remarks by speaking
about how she had known Norton for
many years and that when shefirstdecided
to write a biography about a strong and
accomplished woman Norton was not
the first woman who came to mind. But
one day while lunching together in DC,
Lester floated the idea of writing Norton's
biography and Norton instantly liked the
idea. Lester said Norton told her, "Girl,
come on down to Washington and let's get
to work!"
So approximately four years ago Lester
started working with iNorton, ".. .one
chapter at a time." She described the
former civil rights activist and currently
tenured law professor at Georgetown
University as a challenging subject, "in a
number of ways. She's very argumentative,
which is quintessential Eleanor. She's so
quick, so fast, so forthright and her mind
is so broad. When working with her I often
felt like my mind was still stuck in the
sixties - she brought me into the twentyfirst century."
In the spirit of modernity, those in
attendance were treated to more virtual
Norton as she appeared larger than life
on the ARTS 240 video screen. The video
was a recording, from a C-SPAN2 taping
of a book tour stop, which Norton and
Lester had made at Howard University. On
the video screen, viewers were treated to
Norton's views on a number of topics such

Will t he W ar o n
Terrorism Bring
A nother Boon f or
Drug Traffickers?
By JEFF BROWNLEE
Pride Staff Writer
Since the end of WWII, one of the most
consister^ and generous benefactors of
international drug traffickers has been the
American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Beginning with the defeat of the Nationalist
Chinese by Mao Tse Tung's communists' in 1949,
trade in opium and heroin played a major role in
financing the CIA's efforts to fight the menace of
communism.
Nationalist forces driven out of southern China
into northern Burma in 1949 sought to regroup
and rearm for an invasion of the now communist
controlled China. These nationalist forces were
trained, and their subsequent incursion into
communist China was largely planned by the CIA.
Nationalist forces financed the operation almost
entirely through the cultivation and sale of opium
that was in turn refined into heroin for sale in the
United States and other western nations.
Nationalist forces invaded China from their
Burmese sanctuaries in 1952 and were defeated
and repelled by the communists. In 1961, military
operations by the Burmese army and Chinese
communists largely eliminated the Nationalists
forces in northern Burma as a viablefightingforce;
however, the opium syndicate established by the
nationalist mercenaries remains to this day. Prior
to 1949, northern Burma and Thailand produced
very little opium. Today, thanks in great part to the
activities of the CIA, this area is the largest opiumproducing region in the world.
In Burma the CIA was ^largely guilty of a sin of
omission. They simply turned a blind eye to the
activities of their nationalist allies. Later, In Laos,
the CIA participated in the narcotics trade in a
more direct and deliberate fashion. Like Burma,
prior to the end of WWII, Laos produced little
opium. Beginning in the 1950s the CIA began to
récruit Hmong tribesman, a Laotian ethnic subgroup, to fight against the communist Pathet Lao
and North Vietnamese. The Hmong had long
grown opium for local drug traffickers and with
the CIA's encouragement they began growing it
in ever-larger quantities in order to subsidize an
increasingly bloody war against the communists.
In this case, CIA aircraft actually transported
raw opium from rural mountain areas in northern
Laos to heroin labs in Laotian cities. The resultant
heroin found its way onto American streets and to
American servicemen in Vietnam. The CIA was not
directly involved in moving the processed heroin,
but they were well aware of where it was going. In
fact, South Vietnamese vice-president Nguyen Cao
Ky was personally involved in importing heroin
from Laos to South Vietnam.
These are not thé paranoid assertions of a
disturbed conspiracy theorist. Historian Alfred
McCoy meticulously documented all of these facts
in his book "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast
Asia." A corporate lawyer at the publishing firm
Harper & Row called upon McCoy to justify
every sentence in his book. The CIA actually
obtained a copy and tried to have certain passages
expurgated.
In the aftermath of 9/11/01 many have called
for an easing of restrictions on the CIA's conduct
in order increase the intelligence agencies'
effectiveness in combating international terrorism.
These calls come in spite of the fact that the CIA
in its unrestricted cold war incarnation played
a major role in furthering international drug
traffic while largely failing to stop communism in
Southeast Asia. One is led to uneasy speculation as
to what will be the nature of the next plague this
"intelligence" agency will visit upon us during an
unrestricted war on international terrorism.
�About CSUSM Disabled Parking
Dear Editors:
I am both a disabled person (registered
with the Disabled Students Office) and a Disabled Veteran (60% service connected disabilities). Per V.C. 22511.5, using my placard
properly displayed and my student parking
permit properly displayed, I am allowed to
park, pursuant to the California public policy
stated in VC 22511.5(a)(1), et seq., in any zone
restricted for time or otherwise restricted per
21458(a)(5) or 22507 and any zone restricted
by local ordinance.
VC 21113 allows California State University (i.e., the Board of Regents, not local San
Marcos parking authority) to enact regulations to establish rules regarding parking.
However, the law of this state does NOT
allow CSU to FURTHER restrict the parking rights of disabled persons and veterans.
In fact, California public policy specifically
states that disabled parking MUST be provided in locations NEAREST entrances and
exits. When I started this semester, CSU
placed 5 green signs in 5 otherwise unmarked
parking slots just south of the dome and the

Mr. (Gabriel) Martin:
I gotta hand it to you, your
article really tugged on my heartstrings. It's just to bad your position is based on little more than
emotions and naivety, rather than
logic and fact. The reality of the
coming war is simple: Saddam
has left us no other option but to
use force. And it amazes me that
so many people like you (in the
ostrich brigade), continue to have
your heads in the sand. Since the
Gulf War, Saddam Hussein has
broken every treaty, UN resolu-
tion, and term of surrender that
he agreed to. He's also tried to
shoot down and KILL our pilots
who patrol the no-fly zones over
700 times. In addition, he has-at
some point-used every weapon
in his arsenal including chemical
weapons. In Bush's last speech,
he listed a number of chemical
and biological weapons he has
yet to get rid of. We also know
that he has brought in scientists
to build nuclear warheads, which
he would love to use against
our allies, or us, or sell them

do the same. And it would only
be a matter of time before he
did get nukes if people like you
were in charge, who would probably try to play the appeasement/
negotiation game (which NEVER
works with lawless dictators).
You have got to realize that
there are evil people in this world
who only listen to one thing: The
language of force. Do you think
the British would have just got
up and left back in 1776 without
being forced out? Did Hitler listen
to peace talks Mr. Martin? Do
you really think 100 UN weapons
inspectors in a country the size
of California are enough disarm
this guy? That is ridiculous! You
also wasted a lot of paper spilling your guts about how much
pity you feel for all the innocent
people who may die. Well guess
what; I can tell as a former US
Army soldier that we go out of
our way — more than any other
country on Earth-to avoid killing innocent people. The reason
people do get killed is because
our third-world enemies usually
hide among civilians and use
them as shields, hoping we won't
come after them. In addition, a lot
more innocent people are will die
as a result of Saddam's quest for
nukes if we don't get rid of him.
Listen, nobody likes war. Not
even the toughest Army Rangers and Navy Seals enjoy getting
shot at. But sometimes you do
have to fight for peace in order to
protect your way of life, and that
is a reality you need to realize.
So when the removal of Saddam
begins, are you going to support
our troops like the many Americans that rallied behind our sailors and Marines last Weekend?
I hope you and every anti-war
protester will think about this:
the cost of freedom. Guess what,
freedom is not free. If you doubt
that, go ask a WW2 veteran. Freedom has a price Mr. Martin. It
costs a lot more than your bleeding heart is willing to realize.

I would like to respond to
Robert Williams' comments in
the article dated 2/11/03 "State
of the Campus Address." In this
article he states! "this semester
there is ample parking, even
during the busiest times." I was
incredulous when I read this.
Obviously, Mr. Williams hasn't
spent hours driving around the
various parking lots looking for
a parking place. Nor, has he been
'stalked' by students wanting a
parking space. I applauded the
curb-parking put in place last
semester, and although there was
a "tight crunch" for parking last
semester, it appears just as bad, if
not worse this semester!
Williams? Although I don't agree
with increased parking fees I do
understand the need. But, I do
feel as though I've been slapped
in the face when the parking fees
have increased dramatically, yet
finding parking when you need it
is very dismal. Personally, I had
planned on arriving to school
this semester in time for my 11:
30 a.m. classes. I have had to
rearrange my schedule to arrive
at school by 8:30 a.m. in order to
obtain a parking space without
having to drive around forever!
Please tell me where this "ample"
parking is, especially during the
busiest hours.
Thank you,
So what risks outweigh the Louise J. Tweed
benefits for curb parking Mr. Junior, Liberal Studies
Response:
Is There
Liberal Bias
at Cal State
San Marcos?
Regarding, Jamal Scarlett's
Feb.18 article, I find it amusing
how anyone would question
liberal bias from an educational
perspective when conservative
ideologies have been constantly
shoved down our throats from the
time of infancy.
In order for this society to
succeed with its capitalistic, elite
way of thought, the conservatives
would like to have America
believe their standards, including
correct
"moral"
thinking,
religious beliefs and systems of
oppression, should be mainstream
thought. In a time where
inequalities are more prevalent
than ever, to cry conservative
is to condone suppression, stray
from an egalitarian model and
keep society at status quo.
Sean Mattingly asks, "(why are
we) fooling students into thinking
that in order to be a 'free thinker'
that they must be indoctrinated
by liberalism?" The answer is
that we're not. By providing
students with the opportunity
to explore creatively and utilize
what C. Wright Mills called
a "sociological imagination,"
educational institutions are
simply suggesting that society
explore other ways of thinking.
Liberalism implies that we do not
have to conform to conservative
ways of thought and potentially
risk appearing as mechanical,
docile, assembly line like robots.
We do not have to accept
everything the media feeds
us at face value or submit
to authoritarian hierarchies.
Furthermore, if the push
for liberalism is becoming
an issue through so-called
"indoctrination" via faculty then
I applaud their misconstrued
achievements at "brain-washing"
conservatives into more liberal
ways of thinking. Obviously,
advocating
progressive
reformation is not biased, only
the deconstruction of the biased
realities that already exist within
our society.

Creating
the perfect
class
schedule
By GABRIEL MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
"Scheduling is an art," said
Professor Susie Cassel, chair
of the literature and writing
department here at CSUSM.
Professor Patty Seleski, chair of
the history department, compared
it to juggling, as the needs of
students and the budget that has
been allocated by the dean have
to be balanced. "It's the curse of
middle management," she said.
The course scheduling process
is much more complex than most
people realize, and thè upcoming budget crisis has only made
it more complicated than before.
Several factors must be juggled
when the department chairs
determine when, where, and how
many sections of a course will be
offered.
The needs of both the major
and of general education (GE)
requirements are considered.
Every department offers several
GE courses, which must be taken
by all students. Enough classes
for the department's major also
have to be offered, but these
classrooms can be hard tofilldue
to their specialized nature. An
attempt is made to offer major
courses at a variety of times,
but usually only one section of

semester or year.
Attempts are made to offer
courses in "a consistent,

of the mathematics department,

classes are only available once

The conflict in Iraq has spurred

It is obvious that important
decisions are being made during
this and the last few months.
These decisions are important
to CSUSM students because
they directly involve the young

Behind The Scenes
Although the recycling program here at Cal State San
Marcos garnered national recognition last year, many
around the campus community felt that it had a lot of
room for improvement. One such person was a former
Cal State San Marcos employee and recycling program
coordinator, Nancy Quinn. Quinn had been working
diligently toward improving the program, but when the
state of California announced budget cuts to the CSU
system last semester, Quinn was let go.

Rubella, Measles, and Mumps: Oh My!
Student Health Services offers free M MR vaccinations
By JASON PADILLA
Opinion Editor
There is still time to clear the
Measles, Mumps and Rubella
(MMR) immunization that is
required by CSUSM. Students
who are unsure about the current
status of their immunization
need to contact their physician
or doctor in order to clarify the
uncertainties. For students sure
of their need, the Student Health
Services (SHS) clinic will be
offering free MMR vaccination
shots on Friday Feb. 21, Mar 7 and
March 21. MMR vaccines will be
held at the SHS clinic located on
the corner of corner of Craven and
Twin Oaks and are available to all
registered students. Those who
cannot make the scheduled dates
for vaccinations may schedule an
appointment for another time.
Able to spread from person to
person through the air, Measles,
Mumps and Rubella are serious
diseases. Not only are they
serious, but they can also be very
annoying to students who find a
MMR hold on their registration.
The CSU system requires that all
students be immunized to MMR
prior to their first semester of
being enrolled £t a CSU campus.
Junior communication major
Paul Anderson experienced this
first hand. "I didn't even know that
measles mumps or rubella was an
issue, but apparently I needed the
vaccine before I could register for
my first semester at CSUSM a
few years back," Anderson said.
Anderson later went to the SHS
clinic and received his vaccine.

According to Holt, the schedule
is "highly structured.. so classes
don't overlap." Major classes
shouldn't conflict with each other.
The idea is to let students have
access, at some time of the day,
to the classes they need. This
is even further complicated by
the fact that some departments
provide prerequisite courses for
other majors, or offer classes that
are eligible for upper division

to work with each other in order
to coordinate their schedules.
The dean's office is responsible
for making sure the schedule

As to why the brand name was changed, Moore
responded, "The Academic Program Marketing
Committee felt that in this region, where most of
the campuses are known by their initials, it would
help San Marcos to stand out by using words* rather
than letters. Also, the group felt that 'Cal State San
Marcos seemed less formal, friendlier, and more
welcoming to incoming students, who were our
highest priority target group."
The decision to make Cal State San Marcos the
brand name trademark of the university was made in
September 2000 by the Academic Program Marketing Task Force. This change was announced to the
campus at the Fall Convocation a year and a half ago and
put into effect at the start of the fall 2001 semester.
An email was sent out to all the task force members to
ask if they would comment on this meeting and the decision that was made, but few responded and the ones who
did only referred The Pride to Rick Moore for the group's
official statement.
When asked if students were officially notified of this
change and how, Moore stated, "Students were represented on the committee. I do not know if their representative 'officially' notified ASI or students. The change in the
university mark did not affect the Cougar mark that is used
by student groups."
Why are students not in the know?
Most students were unaware of this change to the brand
name and were not sure why it took place. According to
Moore, there was no known form of notification for the
student body, because at the time there was no "in the
loop" email and the Cougar Channel did not exist. Since
the change took place a year and a half ago, there has not
been a lot of discussion about it among the student body.
Brodowsky added, "I wonder why, at this time, this is
being followed up on as a high priority issue as if it were
breaking news." In answer to his question, The Pride did
not report on this issue at the time because it was not a
public pertinent announcement that had been made to the
student body, and now as the brand name is used, the focus
on the correct term is at hand.
According to Moore, the response to the change was
stated as, "Enthusiastic acceptance. Some faculty were
concerned that we had taken the word 'university' out
of the mark, so we developed an academic mark for them
to use in certain circumstances, such as when submitting
papers or research findings and when conducting academic
business outside of the northern San Diego region.
Albie Hewlett, a senior communication major, also
commented to the name brand change. "We as students
are the ones who use this title to acknowledge our university. It is something as simple as a name that can help build
an individual's school pride and this can be particularly
important for a university like CSUSM!" Hewlett said.

For the second time in the
last 30 years, the National
Aeronautics and Space A dministration (NASA) has lost a
space shuttle with astronauts
aboard. The explosion of the
space shuttle Columbia early
last Saturday m orning is the
first time in NASA's 42-year
history that a shuttle has been
lost upon reentry to Earth's
atmosphere. Within the last
week, NASA has observed
the anniversary of its only two
other space tragedies, the Challenger explosion, which killed
all seven astronauts on board
on Jan. 28, 1986, and Apollo I
s pacecraft fire that killed three
on Jan. 27, 1967. T his was the
88th space flight since the Challenger mission.

Like the Challenger mission,
there were seven astronauts
aboard Columbia, which had

Comprised of four US Navy, two
US Air Force, and one Israeli

members lost to the tragedy
were Shuttle Commander Rick
Husband, Michael Anderson,
Kalpana Chawla, William
McCool, David Brown, Laurel
Clark and Ilan Ramon, who
were on their way home f rom a
16-day mission to space when
their c raft broke apart. Mission Control in Houston immediately warned residents of the
Dallas and Ft. Worth areas in
Texas to stay away f rom any
falling debris f rom the shuttle
"due to the toxic nature of the
propellants used aboard the
shuttle."
The shuttle was 207,000 feet
above the E arth's s urface when
it disintegrated, ruling out any
possibility of a s urface to air
missile impact, according to
White House press secretary
A ri Fleischer. The shuttle was
also estimated to have been
traveling upwards of 12,000
miles per hour j ust before it
broke up and disappeared.

was found in north central
Texas. The flag in f ront of the

in Cape Canaveral, FL, were
lowered to half-mast by mid

acknowledging that the astronauts of the shuttle Columbia
had lost their lives.

before the explosion, right
around the area where the
foam had broken off over two
weeks earlier. The increase
in temperature and recorded
wind resistance caused the
shuttle's automatic pilot mechanism to change the course of
the shuttle during reentry,
which should not have caused
the shuttle to disintegrate, but
may have been an attempt by
the ship's computers to avert
the inevitable explosion.
Another speculation about
the demise of Columbia's
reentry is that it was first
scheduled for l iftoff in July
of last year, when the mission
was delayed due to a leak in
oxygen lines. Columbia had
been given all new equipment
and instrumentation since that
fuel tank, and the spacecraft
soon a fter burst into flames.
There were no space missions
for a f ull two years a fter the
Challenger tragedy. The next
scheduled NASA mission
was for the shuttle Atlantis
to leave the Kennedy Space
Center in Florida on March
1, 2003, in order to deliver
more supplies and equipment
to the international space station. Immediate word is that
the mission will be postponed
until f urther notice, however

Bone Marrow Recruitment
Drive Coming To Campus
By GERALD JONES
Pride Staff Writer
The San Diego Blood Bank
Stem Cell Donor Center brings
"Faces of Hope 2003" to Cal
State San Marcos, on Feb.
11 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in
Founders' Plaza. "Faces of Hope
2003" is a bone marrow and
stem cell recruitment campaign
that is attempting to recruit a
larger and more diverse pool of
volunteer donors by targeting
members of minority groups.
Every year thousands of
African Americans, American
Indian/Alaska Natives, Asian/
Pacific Islanders and Hispanics
are diagnosed with leukemia,
aplastic anemia or other lifethreatening blood diseases. The
only hope for a cure is finding
a donor for a bone marrow or
stem cell transplant. However,
there are not enough members
of these communities donating
bone marrow or stem cells.
These transplants require
matching certain tissue traits of
the donor and patient. Because
these traits are inherited, the
most likely match would be a
family member. The problem
therein lies due to the fact that 70
percent of the people diagnosed
cannot find a match within their
own families. Although it is
possiblefor a patient to match a
donor from any racial or ethnic
group, the most common match
is someone from his or her own
ethnic group. Although many
minority patients are finding
donors for their transplants,
they are still less likely than
Caucasians to identify a matched
donor. More donors from these
ethnic minority groups are still
needed, so patients of every
racial and ethnic background
will have a chance of finding a
matched donor.
The key qualifications that
must be met by possible donors
are for her/him to be between
the ages of 18 and 60, have
no medical history of asthma,
cancer, diabetes, heart or
circulatory disease, be willing
to be a donor for anyone who
needs a transplant, and be
within 20 percent of her/his
ideal weight for her/his height
and age.
The North County Times,
local radio stations, and other
media outlets will cover the
event. For information those
interested can contact the

What Will Happen
to C SUSM When
California Runs Out
of Money?
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
Last November, California
voters passed Propositions
47 and 49, in* part to provide
the necessary funds to build
new classrooms and provide
after school care. However,,
since California is now facing
a multi-billion dollar deficit,
the money allocated for these
propositions no longer exists.
The loss of these funds will
adversely affect the California
schools system and its
students.
According to Ray Sotero, the
press secretary for the Budget
Department of the Assembly
of California, the state budget
has an overall deficit of 26
billion
dollars.
However,
Sotero says that Governor
Gray Davis has estimated the
deficit to be approximately
36 billon dollars. In order
to offset the largest deficit in
California history, DaVis plans
to make cuts throughout all
state funded agencies. A onecent increase in sales tax is
also planned.
The public education system,
including K-12, community
colleges, UC and CSU schools,
will see a loss of approximately
5.4 billion dollars. The CSU
system alone will sustain a
loss of 59.6 million dollars.
The reduction is unallocated
to allow the CSU the flexibility
to determine where to make
the cuts in order to minimize
the effects at the schools,
according to the Mid-Year
Spending Reduction Proposal
released by the Governor's
office last December. The CSU
system has also experienced
an influx of 24,000 new
students, requiring the schools
to maintain the standards
expected by the applicants
despite the decreasing funds.
CSUSM has dealt with
the deficit this semester- by
increasing tuition fees by

dean of the college of arts and

school would make every effort
to provide the classes that

also added that students would

she said.

It's hard to think of anything
more devastating than looking
into the eyes of a loved one and
seeing a lack of recognition,
or even fear. That is what the
families of later stage victims of
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) face
every day. Much research has
been done on the stress faced by
primary caretakers, typically the
adult children and spouses, who
are called the "sandwich generation." Little research, however,
has been done on the effects that
this caretaking has on the next
generation, adolescents between
10 and 22 years old, living in the
homes of the caretakers.

Hamill will use the information gathered in the study to
create "interventions" for helping multi-generational caregivers. Although there is much
to be learned by studying the
difficulties in caregiving situations, the study goes beyond that.
Hamill said, "By identifying

APPLICATION DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 28th
1 Arguably, higher education has its
own culture; a large family with a shared
system of meaning. For some students,
adaptation to the university culture
can be difficult and may result in the
student dropping out to avoid ambiguous
situations. Conversely, students who are
integrated into their campus culture are
more likely to have a positive college
experience.
At CSUSM, the Faculty Mentoring
Program (FMP) has courageously and
successfully created a common and
shared community for students who
are at risk of having a negative college
experience. The primary goal of FMP
is to increase retention and graduation
rates among these students. The program
features mentor-protégé relationships,
multiple support services, and sociocultural opportunities.
Since its inception in academic year
1991-1992, the FMP has acted as a bridge
between students and the educational
system. Cd-Directors Vicki Qolich
and Edward Pohlert uniquely manage
the program with a conscious blend of
academic and student service support
organizations.
At the heart of the program is the
mentor-protégé relationship. Mentors
consist .of volunteer faculty members
who are partnered with student protégés
on an individual basis. According to
Anna Fleming, FMP support assistant
and CSUSM student, the mentor-protégé
ratio càn be 1:3 but overwhelmingly is 1:
1 with approximately 80 mentors and 85
protégés. The mentors and protégés meet
at an orientation breakfast at the start
UÊSW "MMM**
COAST GUARD
AMD COAST 60ARD RÉSERVE
of the school year, where they receive
handbooks that explain their respective
roles and responsibilities. Thereafter,
they are encouraged to meet or make
contact monthly and to participate and
interact in various FMP-sponsored social
and cultural activities. Mentors offer
protégés wisdom, guidance, and support
in such a way that facilitates adjustment
to college life and bolsters the returns
that the protégés derive from their college
experience. The mentor, as trusted
advisor, provides guidance for both
baccalaureate and post-baccâlaureate
objectives.
FMP protégé Michelle Demont is a
senior with a major in sociology and
minor in criminology. She-explained
how the FMP program and her mentor,
professor Donna Goyer of the sociology
department, have been very influential
and important to Jier college career. "They
just give you moral support and help find
ways to motivate you," Demont said. In
fact, she explained how she was motivated
in part by her mentor to help organize the
Sociology Club and was subsequently
elected as the sociology club president
by her peers. "Donna really encouraged
me to become involved," said Demont.
Demont is planning to attend law school
as well as earn a doctorate degree after
her graduation from CSUSM. Demont
articulates her career goals with enviable
clarity and confidence.
In an effort to expand post-graduate
opportunities, the program offers the
FMP Post-Grad Test Registration*
Scholarship which will pay for four test
fees per Academic Year, i.e. LSAT, GRE,
GMAT, CBEST, RICA, etc. The program
also provides books and software on select
exams. Fleming explained "not only does
the program increase graduation rates but
it also increases the number of students
who go o n : to graduate schools These
students really never believed before that
they could."
^ .\ V
Another goal of FMP is to raise
socio-cultural awareness and provide
opportunities for mentors arid protégés
to foster their relationships. Toward this*
end, FMP sponsors two major social
events per academic year, which include
the Holiday Dialogue Gathering in
December and the Year-End Graduate
Awards ceremony in honor of graduating
students.
At the Holiday Dialogue
Gathering, the participants enjoy food,
games, and a gift exchange. The YearEnd Graduate Awards ceremony is the
highlight of the academic year as the
protégés have an opportunity to share
how important the program was for them
to reach their goals. Both Golich and
Fleming expressed how compelling the
end-of-year stories are. Fleming says,
"At the graduation ceremony, we see
tears of joy and appreciation." FMP also
purchases a limited number of tickets to
a diverse amount of cultural events at the
California Center for the Arts, Escondido,
and offers them to mentors and protégés
on a first response basis.
Goyer says of her experience, "It's
great to know students on a personal level
outside of the classroom." She adds that
the process is rewarding for her in that she

A Response to
Vincent Williams
Mr. Williams, first of all thank
you for taking the time to write
to The Pride with your views,
and for taking part in this public
forum regarding last week's illustration depicting Hitler in front of
a "No Parking" sign.
The "Stop 'spinning' and Just
Say Thank You" opinion, article
with which the illustration was
printed was not a complaint about
having to pay high parking fees.
The article and the Hitler graphic
were both intended to address
issues of propaganda and being
disrespected. Hitler has become
an icon and in the context in
which his image was employed,
it represents a reprimand and a
cautioning to the institution with
regard to propaganda. It was
intended to be offensive, and to
retaliate for the offense the author
of the article took when presented
The freedom of the press allows
The Pride to print whatever they
wish; good taste should have kept
them from printing this picture.
The "spinning" of fee increases is
in no way comparable to Hitler's
propaganda of war and genocide.
If the editors of The Pride
continue to feel the connection is
accurate, I urge them to visit the
Holocaust Memorial Museum.

A full life is lived in many
human contexts, and Peggy
Adams' life was indeed a
full one. I know that it was,
even though I knew her only
in the limited context of the
classroom and the campus,
because of the kind of person
she was. *
At the beginning of the
fall semester in 2001, I
began teaching a new class
on gender and sexuality in
American history. I was worried about the class, because
it would raise questions that
students might find difficult to talk about. I needn't
have worried, for a marvelous group of students had
enrolled. On the second day,
one brought a friend —Peggy
Adams, an articulate, pleasant
looking woman of about 50.
A woman of extraordinary
intelligence, humanity, and a

great, self-deprecating sense
of humor, she quickly became
a class leader. Her emotional
maturity and verbal gifts
gave her a remarkable ability
to talk about experiences of
love, human bonding, parenthood, and loss. When it came,
time to talk about the sixties,
seventies, and eighties, she
shared her experiences with a
(mostly) younger group of students. Students gravitated to
her, and the class was a great
success. We had wonderful
conversations outside of class.
She was more like a colleague
than a student.
It was a great pleasure for
all of us to get to know Peggy.

Similar searches are performed
each time we apply for a job

a long-term basis, it would reduce
government spending (mostly on
thousands of unnecessary and
redundant TSA employee jobs)
and greatly reduce the amount
of unwarranted and unreasonable
searches performed everyday by
TSA employees.
On my way back from Alaska,
I was again subjected to a search

I had unknowingly put my hand

I was treated as a suspect that was

me for putting my hand in my

Now I had to unbuckle my
pants in front of numerous other
travelers and allow the inspector
to take a peek at what I had
behind my belt buckle. After he
determined I carried no weapons
or bombs and that I wore boxers
from the GAP, he let me go.
As I sat down to put my shoes
back on (they had been submitted
to a bomb testing device) the
man voluntarily explained the
processes and procedures of the
TSA and in an almost apologetic
tone he stated that he was just
doing his job. Well good for him.
I 'm glad that my taxes are paying
for my inconvenient searches.
Attention CSUSM students!
Next time you fly, be aware
of the new and 'improved'
airport security. You may be
patted, wanded, and probed,
but I guarantee you will feel
completely free of any violation.
Until it happens again. And again.
And again. Then you too will
begin to wonder how the TSA
has improved airport security, if
not only to irritate, violate, and
harass thousands of innocent
Americans everyday.

P ower s hut o ff a t C SUSM
By JEFF BROWNLEE
Pride Staff Writer
Electrical workers turned off
CSUSM's electrical service on
Monday, Jan. 20. The installation of a new emergency generator necessitated the shutdown.
Even though the period without
electricity was brief and during
the early morning hours of a holiday, some students questioned
why the entire system needed to
be shut down and whether this
is a reflection of possible deficiencies in*CSUSM's electrical
service system. These concerns
appear to be unwarranted.
Ken Collier, a journeyman
electrician and member of the
International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers local 569, as
well as an instructor on electrical
theory at the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee in
San Diego, answered questions
about the installation of emergency generators for industrial
applications.
According to
Collier, generators such as the
one installed at CSUSM require
the use of an automatic transfer
switch or ATS. The ATS senses
a lack of power in an established
electrical distribution system
and switches over to a generator
usually driven by a gasoline or
diesel engine. The ATS is more
than a simple switch, as it also
starts the emergency generator
and performs electronic motor
control operations regulating
the generators output. Through
the use of the ATS, an electrical
system can be functioning again
within seconds of a power failure. When electrical service is
reestablished the ATS automatically switches back to the main
switchgear providing power
from the electrical utility,
to new construction, such an
emergency generator would be
built into the electrical distribution system before power from
the utility had been established,
eliminating the need for any
interruption of power. The ATS
and generator at CSUSM had
to be spliced into the existing
distribution system. To avoid
working on the high voltages
present at the main switchgear,
which is neither safe nor practical, the power was temporarily
interrupted.
installed primarily in hospitals
and in industrial operations
where uninterrupted power was
considered critical. The growing
dependence of almost all businesses and services on computers and other digital equipment

Heretofore, emergency power has made the use of emergency
generation systems had been power generators more ubiqui-
tous.
The emergency generator
installed at CSUSM is meant
to ensure that a constant and
reliable supply of electricity is
always available for students and
faculty.

was widely deemed the largest

wise for anyone to be skeptical
of such low projections. Yamout
said, "This isn't the first time I've

the attendance at peace rallies.
Just last fall A.N.S.W.E.R held a

Post reported that only like

when in fact there'd been closer
to 100,000. Eventually due to

Recently, a website was created
in an attempt to accurately
tabulate the actual number of
anti-war protesters throughout
the U.S. John Kromko, former
Arizona state legislator and cocreator of peacedemo.org, said
that the reason he helped create
this site is because he felt that,

reports only the number of
protesters in protests in a few
large cities, which shields pur

By JENNIFER ACEE
Feature Editor
Last
week,
problems
associated with high quantities
of automobile oil consumption
in the United States were
explored. In an effort to move
toward a remedy and a better
future, several options need to
be examined and considered for
widespread implementation.
An easy avoidance method
has been to pass the buck onto
future generations. But now,
it may be that a generation
with the past on its shoulders
chooses to role up its sleeves
instead of turn its nose. As
environmental damages, become
more difficult to ignore, as the
national population continues
to grow exponentially, and as
the world is once again facing
political turmoil in the Middle
East, a region economically
crucial for its vast oil reserves,
now may be the time to make
more meaningful efforts to find
alternative energy sources and
step toward alternative living
styles.
the average miles per gallon
figure of new cars and trucks
deteriorated by nearly 8 percent,
from 22.1 in 1988 to 20.4 in 2001,
says Consumer Reports. Ideally,
efficiency would be apportioned
to improve emissions, miles per
gallon (mpg), and horsepower.
Overall, cars are only using
about 15% of the energy in fuel;
75% of gasoline's energy is lost
in the process of running the car.
Because of this, the potential
to improve fuel economy
with advanced technologies is
enormous.
Motor vehicles need energy
Here are the main options to accelerate (overcome inertia),
currently being proposed by to push air out of their way

by the National Academy of
Sciences (NAS), an independent
research organization created
by Congress, "If fuel economy
had not improved, gasoline
consumption would be about
2.8 million barrels per day (or
14 percent) greater than it is."
CAFE standards, however, have
remained frozen at the 1985 level
for cars and the 1996 level of
20.7 mpg for light trucks, and the
auto industry has fought against
further increases.
Higher fuel taxes
While this is not the most
appealing option to consumers,
it cannot be denied that high
fuel prices result in greater fuel
conservation. In Europe and
Japan, for instance, high fuel
taxes have resulted in gasoline
prices of $4 (US) per gallon or
more, which in turn has created
a large demand for smaller, more
fuel-efficient vehicles. In the
U.S., however, high fuel taxes
are unpopular and politically
forlorn. It is unlikely that
significant increases in gasoline
taxes would pass anytime soon.
Lisa Dufresne, a senior and
an accounting major, captured
popular American sentiment
with her statement, "I would
prefer to keep [gas prices and
consumption rates] the Way they
are out of personal convenience,
even though it is pretty selfserving."
"Even if I knew it was better
for the environment, I would
keep things the same," echoed
senior Graham Smorzewski.
"I can barely afford gas as it is
now," he said.
Scripps Clinic Rancho Bernardo is conducting a research studyof an
investigational medication to treat women's yeast infection.
If you are a woman, 18 years of age or older and have a yeast infection
that has notteentreated with any over-the-counter mediation in the

Federal
standards
fuel-economy
Federal regulations, called
the Corporate Average Fuel
Economy (CAFE) standards,
have been in place since 1975 to
govern mpg efficiency.
According to a recent study
"Government regulation is
necessary," voiced Kate Irwin, a
senior and sociology major. "It's
important to have the government
watching over to ensure that
we're taking measures to protect
our environment."
While CAFE has been helpful,
the standards have serious
loopholes and have not been
increased in years. Significant
improvements won't happen
without governmental pressure,
and to that end, it seems the
standards should be allowed to
maintain gradual improvements.
Consumers9 Role
People often attempt to make
a personal statement through the
car they drive - whether it is a
statement of status, power, or
strength. But the latest car-asstatement, says Alexander's Gas
and Oil Connections, a website
providing an overview of global
oil news, "is an unornamented
Japanese subcompact driven by
people who want to poke a finger
in the eye of Saddam Hussein,
the oil sheiks and the neighbors
who jump into gas-guzzling
sport utility vehicles for a drive
to the grocery store."
Along with the potential
statement that smarter cars can
make, their purchase functions
as a vote cast for better fuel
economy. Because consumers
send messages with their buying
power, they are encouraged
to choose cars, in whatever

Achieving particularly high
gas mileage, new electric,

engine technologies have hit the
marketplace in the last decade.
The numbers of these cars
actually on the road, however,
are trifling, and the detriment of
the popular vehicles surrounding
them in the marketplace
overshadows their efforts toward
positive change.
The new,
greener technology also tends to
give Americans the impression
that the overall marketplace
is more conscious than it is in

Buying a more fuel-efficient
vehicle, no matter what class,
saves money on gas, may
help reduce U.S. petroleum
dependence, and sends a signal
to carmakers to use advanced

�Mars on Earth
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
San Diegans are going to
Mars. They are off in masses,
but not to the little red planet that
is our neighbor. Instead they
are going to the Mars located
in Utah, one of the Mars Analog
Research Stations created by the
Mars Society.
The Mars Society is an
international organization that
was founded in August 1998.
The society is currently about
5,000 members strong, including
the 50 to 60 members in San
Diego. The society is both a
scientific and social organization
that combines experimentation
with social activities. The
society has created two Mars
Analog Research stations, one
in Devon Island in the Arctic
that operated for two months
and the other in the midst of
Utah's deserts. On February 28,
2001, San Diego created is own
chapter of the society and has
since played an important role
in the research stations, which
serve as their mission support
and control center.
The Mars Analog Research
Station in Utah is comprised
of "the Hab." "The Hab'Vis a
two-deck cylindrical structure
with an eight-meter diameter
that serves as the habitat for the
crewmembers, as well as several
peripheral external structures;
some are inflatable and some
may be attached to "the Hab".
The crew is comprised of six
members* of different chapters
of the society; each crew stays
at the habitat for two weeks.
The crewmembers drive ATV's,
which are vehicles that are
similar to ones that have been
used on the moon, in their space
suits, explore their environment,
perform geological experiments,
and are attempting to grow plants
in a "greenhab" with various soil
samples in an atmosphere similar
to what might be found on Mars.
Currently/ the Mars Society
is in complete control of these
experiments. NASA has made its
priority the Mir Space Station.
The internationally manned
station that is currently in orbit
around earth has taken the
bulk of NASA's funding. Due
fo this lack of focus on Mars,
it is unknown what NASA will
do with the Mars Society's
findings.
The crew at the Research
Station in Utah communicates
with the San Diego based
Mission Control via the Internet.
They send typed reports that are
filtered through a director to
various members who specialize
in different scientific fields.
The communication is taken
very seriously and is performed
as realistically as possible,
including invoking a five to ten
minute time delay that would be
realistic in the actual scenario.
This allows for the researchers
to realize any problems that
might arise due to time delays or
to be able to rectify any glitches
in the system, in order to prevent

The Front Side-air-tail-whip Reverse
By SEAN CARNE
For The Pride
You are probably sitting there,
looking at this paper, creating
a more confused and distorted
expression than anyone could
imagine. Confused and distraught, you are contemplating
what you have just read in the
title. Trust me, this trick is much
more difficult to perform than
it would ever be to read! Surfing may possibly be one of the
greatest spectator sports. Some
people agree that it is even better

water doing it yourself, trying to
be one of the 'big boys.'
learned this trick from a magazine called Transworld Surf.
The issue is entitled, "Emision
de Santa Cruz." I can't even do
this trick yet, nor do I think that I
ever will be able to; however I'm
improving with practice. This
trick, according to the magazine,
ranks very high on the difficulty
meter.
My best advice would be to
stretch really well and do a lot of
practice heats before attempting
this. First, start off by "hauling ass," meaning you should
begin paddling as fast as you
can to gather up enough speed
before you come barreling down
the wave. When you reach the
bottom of the wave, whip off

light as possible while keeping
centered on the board. As you
whip off your lip, your board
should now be freely flying
through the air. Your back foot
should be placed firmly on the
tail of the board while the front
foot places itself on the nose and
at the same time prepare yourself
for landing.
When you land, pound the
nose of the board with your front
foot into the water, keeping your
weight centered so the whole'
board hits the water. If your
front foot is not centered, the tail
will shake, causing you to lose
all balance and inevitably you
will crash horribly as the wave
rolls over you. The last step for
this trick is to stand on the nose
of your board and ride backward
for a little bit, only so you look
cool while you're riding in the
wave, actually proving that you
have just pulled something off.

you can do anything.

Stop 'Spinning' And Just Say Thank-You
By GAIL TARANTINO
News Editor
While checking out the
school's homepage before the
semester started, I came across
a temporary link* regarding the
parking fee increase. Because
I'm a glutton for punishment, I
decided to read it. That was a big
mistake because I'm still mad. >
This piece of propaganda
from parking services starts
out explaining the parking fee
increases by saying how "we've
had it pretty good," because,
before 1999, parking was either
free or 12-14 dollars a month.
The article actually refers to our
dismal parking condition as "our
happy, low-cost parking situation." First of all I don't consider
parking services (or the adminis- ment increases, a lack of space
tration for that matter) a part of and how our "individual deci"we." The students and parking sions to drive alone each day"

increasingly expensive." I want

sick to death of the spin and

It's an insult to my intelligence.
Instead of telling us "how good
we've had it" acknowledge our
parking fees are in line with the efforts and sacrifices and just tell
other CSU schools. .However us thank-you.

Anti-War Movement Fo p g 2

entire procession of protesters
to reach the rallying point of
city hall. Contrary to Vietnam
era stereotypes of anti-war
protesters, the protesters were
largely representative of a
multi-racial spcio-economically
diverse mainstream America.
There were soccer moms pushing
strollers covered in peace signs,
grandparents hoisting signs
proclaiming "No War - Not
In Our Name " kids of all ages
beating all kinds of makeshift
drums giving the march a sort
of heartbeat, a small elderly
marching band playing John
Lennon's Imagine, working class
types holding pro-union signs
and shouting "¡Si Se Puede!"
conservatively attired protesters
holding signs saying things like
"No Blood For Oil" and "Disarm
Bush," and there were hippies
protesting too.
During the protest, Lessel
remarked
on more than
one occasion that he was,
"...surprised that most of the
protesters looked like ordinary
Americans.. .because [he] was
kind of expecting to see nothing
but your stereotypical hippies."
In the Jan. 13 issue of the San
Francisco
Chronicle,
Ruth
Rosen wrote, "Never before in
human history has an anti-war
movement grown so fast and
spread so quickly. It is even
more remarkable because the
war has yet to begin. Publicized
throughout cyberspace, the antiwar movement has left behind
its sectarian roots and entered
mainstream culture."
Jan. 18 was a day of both
national, and global antiwar protesting with protests
simultaneously occurring in
various major metropolitan areas
around the U.S. and in over 30
nations. CNN.com reported that
the week before the protest, the
FBI sent a bulletin to over 18,000
law enforcement organizations
around the nation warning them
to be ready for the possibility
of violent protests. CNN.com
reported after the protest,
"There were no reports of such
incidents, or of any violence or
confrontations."
In Washington DC, three
dozen people protesting the
anti-war protests gathered at
the Vietnam War Memorial to
offer their support to the Bush
administration's policy on Iraq.
One of these protesters was *55
year-old Scott Johnson, a Navy
veteran from Minneapolis who
asserted that, "The protesters
don't understand the threat
of Iraqi President Saddam
Hussein... k's a war of liberation
for people."
This past weekend, U.S.
Secretary of State Colin Powell
told European political and
business leaders at a conference
in Switzerland that the U.S.
remains willing to attack Iraq
alone. CNN.com reported
that, "In a 30-minute address
that broke no new ground but
attempted to enlist world support
for U.S. military action against
Iraq, Powell rejected criticism
from delegates that the United
States has not provided enough
evidence that Iraqi President
Saddam
Hussein
retains
weapons of mass destruction."
Powell went on to say, "The
more we wait, the more chance
there i s,for this dictator with
clear ties to terrorist groups including al Qaeda— to pass a
weapon, share a technology or
use these weapons again. The
nexus of tyrants and terror, of
terrorists and weapons of mass
destruction, is the greatest
danger of our age."
Judging by the language of
the signs and chants at the San
Francisco protest, it would be
safe to say that the protesters
reject the Bush administration's
pro-war arguments. CSUSM
student and first-time protester
Tasha Iglesias said she was glad
she'd driven herself and three
other CSUSM students to San
Francisco for the protest. She

remarked that, "It's just so nice
to know that I'm not really crazy,
that I'm not alone, that there are
-actually TONS of people who
feel the way I do about this issue.
I mean, before I came to this
protest, from watching the news
I actually thought that there
weren't many other Americans
who were against a war with
Iraq. But I'm glad I came here
because now I know I was wrong
to think that."
