'He will

Captain of
the CSUSM
surf team
represents
'a story of
perseverance'
BY MICHELLE V ELARDE
Pride Staff Writer
The first week of this semester,
campus was packed with
preoccupied students looking for
p arking, crashing classes, and
b uying books. Thomas Gorman,
a senior f acing his last semester
at CSUSM, stepped onto campus
that week with a whole d ifferent
s et of t hings on h is m ind.
H is f ather w as ill with t erminal
cancer, and f or the past t wo years
G orman h ad worked diligently
t o finish h is degree, hoping that
h is f ather would b e alive to see
h im graduate. However, by the
end of that first week, his father
h ad p assed away at the age of
57, leaving G orman j ust short of
achieving that dream.

his emotional anguish with

work and a h efty load of sixteen
units. Although he did not want
to drop any classes, he ended u p
dropping two because the work
load, understandably, became too
much for him to handle. Instead
of graduating this month like he
had expected, he will b e back to
finish next fall.
"It j ust gets a little bit
f rustrating, because you get
so close to a goal and you
t hink you're working towards
something," he said. "There's
k ind of a sense of urgency
to graduate, and now it's not
happening. T hat's probably the
hardest thing "
" It's that finishing his degree
was so tightly linked t o his
relationship with his father," said
Dr. Fernando Soriano, G orman's
human development professor.
"He was racing against time, and
when (his father) did pass away,
he was still racing. You couldn't
b e a hamster going 100 miles p er
hour. He needed time to grieve."
" In some ways, T homas' father
was k ind of the glue that held that
f amily together," said Dr. Amber

Both ceremonies are the same,
except for the groupings of m ajors

and the actual n ame recital of t he

graduates at the first ceremony
and u p to 900 at the second
ceremony.
Graduation ceremonies prior
to 2002 were held in the grassy
area by Kellogg library in F orum
Plaza, but because of the library
construction, the graduation site
had to relocate this year.
Of the move o ff-campus, Villa
said, "I have done extensive
research, driving u p and down
the county looking f or an
appropriate venue. Fortunately,
Del M ar hosted us. They are
a w onderful host and are v ery
happy with u s as well."
The question of whether the
ceremony will ever b e back
on campus is still undecided.
Villa said the decision is u p
to President Haynes, who will
determine if and when CSUSM
may b e able to accommodate the
large amount of graduates again
in Forum Plaza.

captain.
At the same time that G orman
was learning t o write cursive
letters as a child, h is father
was teaching h im how t o surf.
Gorman's fondest memories are
of the times he and his father
spent surfing together, whether it
was taking trips down to Mexico
or j ust waking u p and surfing at
the Oceanside harbor.
"We surfed together f or the
better p art of my life. We s urfed
every morning together until
he fell ill," Gorman said. "We
h adn't really went in the water
together f or the last three years."
"We spent a lot of time
together towards the e nd," he
said. "We saw each other all
the t ime.. .but it still isn't enough
time. It causes you to look back
at days, like when you were in
high school, and you decided t o
go surfing with your f riends or
someone else, when you could
have surfed with your dad."
"He was a great dad, you
know," Gorman said. "He was
there to b e there for you and at
the same time to let you know
when you were acting up."
Soriano could not help but
notice the love Gorman h ad for
his father. It was a "mutual,
b eautiful love that they had f or
one another," he said.
When his father was diagnosed
with cancer, the cancer was in
stage four and had already spread
to his brain, lungs, and spinal

back when he realized that h is
father might not have much t ime

illness progressed would prove
t o b e some of t he. hardest t imes
G orman ever experienced.
G orman helped h is f amily take
care of his father until he passed
away. It w as particularly hard
for G orman t o watch his f ather's
body give i n t o t he cancer, and
remembers doing things that
"sons don't envision doing things
for their fathers."
A nd while the entire duration of
his f ather's illness was difficult,
losing h im this particular year
was hard for Gorman.
" He h as been challenged like

P uha said.
"You really have no one t o f all

School b ecame especially
difficult. "Like, I 'll t ry t o leave

played a crucial role in helping
G orman cope with his father's
death.
G orman h as also spent a
lot of t ime working with the
developmentally disabled in San
M arcos, and h as been involved
with t he Special Olympics. He
said that working with his clients
h as helped h im keep going.
" They've b een kind of an

they can barely speak and stuff,
but still t hey're j ust so f ull of

said. "You shouldn't give up."
G orman h as tried to stay

still want their names called when they
walk across the stage to receive their
diploma, which is why there are two
ceremonies being held.
"There are many advantages to the
celebration being held in Del Mar," she
said. "The stage is on the track and the
guests have a perfect view of the whole
process. You never have to worry about
limiting guests."
Villa continued, "You don't have to sit in
the sun for two hours, there are bathrooms
on every level, great picture opportunities
and many restaurants nearby. The only
complaint we've received was that the
guests had to pay for parking. Other than
that there have no more complaints."
Sheila Manning, a graduate of the 2002
class who is also a current employee in the
office of Enrollment Services Management
as an information specialist said, "Having
been a part of California State University
San Marcos commencement as a student
and staff member I've seen it f rom
both sides and been impressed on both
occasions. Not only is it a beautiful venue,
it also allows students to invite as many
friends and family as they'd like."
A concern for some graduating next year
may be the cost of such a venue.
"The cost does come from student fees,"
Villa sayd, adding that when AI tracked the
budget, they found that the first year in Del
Mar was not a significant cost increase.
"We rent the site as a package and
the vendors are already included in that
p ackage traffic, parking attendance,
bleachers," Villa said. "Here at Cal
State San Marcos we had to higher extra
staff, have them work overtime, clean up
before and after, hire highway patrol, rent
facilities, chairs and bleachers. So they
cancel each other out."
Charlotte Strauwald, a senior who will
graduate May 15, says that she was a little
disappointed that the ceremony will be
held off-campus but is excited that she gets
to invite her ten guests.

over 300 San Marcos students
outside San Marcos having a
good time together.
It was kinda like being at a
club with a whole bunch of your
friends without those sleazy guys

out between the bar arid the dance

woman, even the ones you're

I 'm excited to be done with

would argue that I don't do it
any way. It feels good to be

I 'm also getting a math degree.
So, if anyone tries to step, I can
be like, 'hey, I 've got a math

What are your plans for the

Initially, I was supposed to
work. I was supposed to spend
this semester looking for a job,
but I didn't get around to doing
that. So, I 'm probably going to
decide if I like Pacifico or Negra

I often hear people complain

There is student life on campus.
You all hang out in the library and
computer labs talking on Instant
Messenger. You're sitting in your
cars in between classes and your
acting way too cool talking on
your cell phones.
I have a blast every single time
I come to campus. And it is not
just because I 'm fabulously good
looking. It's because I say hi to
people. I go up to events and I
try hard to make this place into a
campus I want to be a part of.
So if you want this place to
have student life . .. get out of
the library and computer labs and
your cars, and say hi to somebody
on Founders Plaza.

Jock Talk
With Josh
As the playoffs
appraoch us all
By JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
As finals week rapidly approaches
I felt I could give y ou some words
of encouragement straight from
the world of sports.
Now that you have worked your
brain into shape during the first
15 weeks of the semester which
is what I call the regular season of
school, it is almost time to show
what you are made of. As we heaci
f or the home stretch we know w e
are getting to the end as we can
see the finish line right in front
of us. Finals week or as I call it
the playoffs, is that week we are
all forced to man u p and step into
the ring.
Some people start preparing
weeks in advance f or finals and
they usually come out victorious
when they write that home run A
grade paper or pitch that perfect
presentation. However, many
people are pressure players
like me. We wait until the last
possible second to experience the
urgency of going into the extra
innings of studying at the wee
hours of the night. The pressure
players usually come out on
top by throwing that Hail Mary
touchdown to pass the test.
Throughout the studying process
we occasionally stumble over
those hurdles when w e realize
there are more exciting things
that we could be doing. However,
most of us keep our eyes on the
trophy.
The trophy f or some of you
veterans is that piece of paper
that you have worked f or which
says you are ready to retire from
CSUSM. The trophy f or us
rookies is j ust the simple fact that
we d on't have to set an alarm f or
another three months.
So, as the p layoffs approach all
of us, remember to stick it out.
Also d on't forget to keep your
eyes on the prize while giving
110 percent. So, with a ll of those
sports clichés said, here is two
more; Break a leg and go get
e m'.
SPORTS
Women's softball takes 2nd at Nationals
BY JONATHAN RODLEY
Pride Staff Writer
Six months ago 16 girls picked
u p bats and gloves and started
throwing a softball around.
Some had played in highschool,
f or others it was their first time
stepping onto the field.
The girls had t hree coaches,
led by Ferman Cardoza, head
coach, to guide the Cougars at
weekly workouts.
" They practiced hard in
practice and it showed on the
diamond," Cordoza said.
The team captain, Tisha
McElhiney, scheduled games
with
other
colleges
for
scrimmage. But these weren't
other intramurals, the Cougars
played against collegiate level
teams.
" When w e're out on the field,
we push each other, we p ush
ourselves," McElhiney said.
The team worked together, and
as their relationships grew, their
skill level improved, she said.
A fter 26 games, at 13 and
13, it was t ime f or t he National
Championship.
I n Chino Hills, at t he field
of dreams stadium, they f aced
teams f rom around the country.
The Cougars crushed their
opponents early on with scores
like 6 -0 against the Naval
Academy and 13-2 with Ohio
State.
D uring day two, The Cougars
defeated the number one seed
Kansas State with a w in of 4-2.
That landed them automatically
in the semis.
' "Are you kidding me, you
beat the number one team,' they
couldn't believe it," McElhiney
said about umpires and other
team coaches.
"Eventually other teams started
playing deep in the field."
A fter their success, it was time
to f ace once again, The Navel
Academy, which squeaked into
the final by defeating Kansas
State.
But the final unfortunately, is
where the Cougars played their
second and third losses of the
tournament.
The Cougars' pitcher, Jamie
Beaty, served the team proper
during its nine game series with
80 strikeouts.
McElhainy hit over a .700
during the tournament and both
players made it on the M VP
team.
So a fter training for five
months, the team to beat ended
u p being a f resh group of f aces
f rom Cal State San Marcos.
"We did it as a team, and we
always have," McElhiney said.
"We're doing it for each other."
The next season for Cougars
softball begins Spring 2005.
Collegiate
sports sign off
for the season
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
As the academic year ends, so does the year in
sports f or cougar athletics.
Among the highlights f or the Track and Field
team includes their performance at Point Loma
Invitational finishing 2nd in the Women's 4X400
Meter Relay and finishing 2nd in the M en's 4X800
Meter Relay. The team is coming down the home
stretch trying to finish strong. They did so with a
victory in the M en's 4X100 Meter Relay at the
UCSD Triton Invitational. The team still has the
Occidental Invitational May 8 and the Claremont
Classic May 15 before the team competes at the
N AIA National Championships in Louisville,
Kentucky.
The M en's golf team came into this year with
high expectations and they have not disappointed
so far. Among the highlights f or the team
was claiming 1st place at the Grand Canyon
Invitational and a 3ed place finish at the CSU
Bakersfield Invitational. The team competed last
week in the NAIA Region II championships and
took 2nd place overall which means they will be
heading to the NAIA national championships in
Olathe, Kansas.
The Women's golf team did not have the same
high expectations that the M en's team had coming
into the season, but they did not disappoint either.
Among the highlights f or the Women's team was
3ed place finishes at the Western Washington
Invitational and at the CSU San Marcos Cougar
Invitational.
The Cross Country team had a decent season
as well. The highlight of the year was a victory
at the Vanguard Invitational. They ended
strong with back to back top 3 finishes at the
regional championships and then at the national
championships.
So, until next year Cougar fans.

not only this, but for any newsreporting agency, I hope that I
have fulfilled thé expectations
as a reader representative by
facilitating criticisms that were
expressed i nto constructive
improvements in The Pride.
During my time as ombudsman, I communicated with
many readers on issues regarding grammar, spelling, content
and the political orientation of
The Pride. I recall last Semester when the words I heard were
rarely good and, in fact, were
quite scathing at times; Over
time, the hardwork that the staff
had been piitting in began to pay
o ff: words o fpoignant criticism
gave way to compliments on the
recognized progress that The
Pride was making.
Even so, I was certain that
some readers would never be
won over by any effort that The
Pride staff exerted to rectify the
paper. However, my certainty
was dispelled when some of
the harshest critics emailed me
acknowledge the steady progress
and advancement of Thej^ride.
I thank a Uof you who did let
me know your thoughts on what
we were doing, especially those
who were particularly harsh,
because without fhat honest feedback, there would have not been
t hi spark to initiate the change
fer
tWs semester; Over t he
course o^the
past semester, The JPride has truly solidified into a decent newspaper
embodying the breadth of interests that comprise our campus
community here at CSUSM.
Th§ u i^w&aieiit T he Pridb
has undergone is due t o the dedication and hard work of the staff,
from both this semester and last,
as well a s the interests and concerns expressed by readers in
the feedback t received through
email a nd in pdrson, Without
reader feedback, The Pride
wouW b e lacking in direction
since our purpose k t o provide a

In addition to being the last
edition of this semester and, as
such this academic school year,
t hisedition of The Pride also
represents the tost edition in
which I will be assuming the
role of ombudsman. As the first

The Pride apologizes for these
errors,-;'
As the Co-Editors-in-Chief,
we would like to finally introduce
ourselves to our readers and give
proper recognition to the dedication of those that we could not
have done this without.
At the beginning of the school
year, The Pride began with two
Editor-in-Chiefs, Jon Rodley and
Elizabeth Baldwin. Jon had previous experience in journalism.
Elizabeth had a strong foundation in accounting management.
The two of us joined forces
and set out to use our individual
talents to create the best weekly
newspaper possible.
Each week, we strive to make
The Pride fair and balanced,
entertaining and accessible to all
students.
We are very proud of all the
challenges we faced at the beginning of the year. Through long
hours, constant compromise
and a committed staff, we have
conquered every obstacle in our
way.
A standing ovation to our section editors who have brought
so much creative genius to The
Pride and have accomplished
their jobs with the smallest
amount of resources possible:
Sarah Carlin, Katie Sammons,
Lisa George, Melissa Rodriguez
and Tom Pfingston.
Yes, mistakes have been made
in The Pride (as many of our
readers have pointed out). A
huge round of applause goes to
our Ombudsman, Mike Dolan,
for his tireless effort to correct all
of our errors.
A hip-hip-hurray to our
adviser, Jenifer Woodring, who
has been our constant cheerleader guiding us through all
the ups and downs of a college
newspaper.
And most importantly, we take
a humble bow to our readers. We
value all of our readers and thank
you for your support. It is so
wonderful to see students sitting
on benches in Founders Plaza
reading a copy of The Pride.
We wish you a fabulous
summer.
Cheers, Elizabeth & Jon

W hen Robert Woerheide's
father saw h im reading Stephen
K ing's " The Dark H a l f ' at age
thirteen, he said he wouldn't
make it past page twelve. Ironically, it was that book that
inspired Robert to become a
writer.
" I feel like that is something I
can o ffer to the world," said the
graduating senior.
Woerheide, who was published
in CSUSM's Pride Literary Supplement, also arose as a leader in
the creative writing c ommunity
on campus.
" He was great at giving
feedback," said creative writing teacher Dr. Profe Cesmat,
"Robert gives the same respect
to a rough d raft as he does to a
masterpiece."

If Screeching Weasel took
methamphetamines and sang
in Japanese/English, you would
have a sound similar to N o Gain.
N o Gain is a f our piece, speedy
p op p unk band out of Tokyo,
Japan, that serves u p a sound
reminiscent of F.Y.P., Spazz and
Hi-Standard.
" It's O utrageous" the debut
album f rom N o Gain is twelve
tracks of uninhibited songs
about girls, surfing, and hardcore
breakups, all done with Japanese
style.
From the v ery first track titled
"Never Change," listeners c an't
help but b e drawn into the f our
p art vocal harmonies, simple
chord progressions, and melodies
that will stick with you for days
to come.
N o Gain singer, Archy, delivers a performance comparable
to Jello B iafra of the Dead Kennedys, while guitarists Dee and
Maki, back h im up with strong
harmonies that are best described
as, GLORIOUS!
D rummer A 2 delivers the final
blow t o listeners with doubletime beats and super quick fills,
that make you feel like your h eart
may explode.
Overall, this album is m ade
f or those people w ho j ust want
to f reak out in their living r oom,
with t unes t o accompany t heir
mental breakdown. I f you have
high blood pressure, d on't like
new music, and are u nder h igh
stress f rom your u neventful l ife,
you may want to stray away f rom
this album.
On second thought, go b uy t he
album and have yourself a h eart

PRIDE AROUND THE WORLD
By K M SCHLATTER
Pride StaffWriter
Spring break is approaching fast; actually, it's only four weeks away. So if you
have not planned your spring break trip
yet, you'd better hurry. Most CSUSM
students are looking to vacation in a
warm, exciting, and cheap spring break
spot. So here are five that are exciting
and reasonable.
Mazatlan is known as the city of
perpetual summers. With the longest
uninterrupted beaches in all of Mexico,
Mazatlan offers exciting water sports,
great beaches, awesome parties, all night
dance clubs, great shopping and great
restaurants such as the Shrimp Factory
and Shrimp Bucket.
Mazatlan offers low cost shuttles,
tour guides and taxicabs so you can
check out some of the highlights of
Mazatlan such as: the c liff divers, the
Corona and Pacifico Breweries and
Old Mazatlan where the old Mazatlan
Cathedral is located. Mazatlan is an
unforgettable spring break experience.
When people hear about Cancun they
automatically think of non-stop partying. Cancun is fourteen miles of beautiful coastline* with clear turquoise water
and fabulous white sandy beaches.
During the day you can enjoy the sights
and sports that Cancun has to offer.
Explore the Mayan ruins, snorkel, tour
the jungles, swim with the dolphins,
golf and enjoy exciting water sports like
parasailing.
There is also great shopping and restaurants in Cancun, and if you just want
to relax, you can do so on the beach all
day. The night life in Cancun is out of
control. There are clubs and bars everywhere to ensure a vacation you will never
forget.
Get ready to kick up your feet and
relax to some reggae music, because we
are going to Jamaica man. Jamaica is a
tourist paradise. Due to the overpopulated and poverty-ridden country, the best
and safest resorts to vacation at are those
like The Sandals and Beaches resorts.
These resorts ensure a relaxing and exciting vacation. Plus, there is all you can eat
buffets and bottomless drinks.
For daytime excitement, these resorts
offer snorkeling, parasailing, boating,
booze cruises and c liff jumping. While
in Jamaica, kick back, relax, and soak up
the sun.
For those students that wish to drive to a
spring break destination here are two hot
spots that are fun, cheap and only, a couple
hours away from San Diego.
See SPRING B REAK, page 2

Pack right before
you leave home
ByCHADSHNKS
£ride StaffWriter
*
-
Whether you're planning to go back home
to see the family, or planning to go to
Beirut for the international marble players
competition for spring break, chances are
you need to pack.
Don't worry, because packing for a
trip is as fun as a toaster in the bath.
Wait a minute, that's not fun—who am I
kidding—packing sucks.
But still, you need to be prepared. Let's
go over some tricks of the trade. I heard
that some of these tips have been passed
down from ancient boy scout lore. But
who cares, I never wanted to be a boy
scout anyway.
First o ff, bring a toothbrush. If you bring
nothing but the clothes on your back and a
toothbrush, you should be okay. When
traveling, it's hard to receive help from
someone if you are in their face with rotten
breath, asking them where the nearest
Motel 6 is. Along with a toothbrush, bring
a razor
If you like to pack heavier, however, you
will need a bag. Anything with wheels is
a plus. If traveling through airports, it's a
must. If using a duffle bag, you can use duct
tape to attach a skateboard to the bottom
of the bag. It makes walking through the
airport easier. You can attach a rope to the
handle and pull it, or you can ride your
bag like a sled (be careful of running in
to the ankles of elderly people. This will
often create an unwanted dramatic scene.)
If you don't have a skateboard, it should be
easy to acquire from a little brother or a
friend's sibling.
Maximizing space in your bag is a
helpful practice. Rolling your clothes
instead of folding them is a great way to
save room and minimize wrinkles.
Black colored shirts and pants go a
long way on trips. You can get away with
wearing a dirty black shirt for a couple
days with no one noticing. White clothing
will instantly become a magnet for coffee,

In a post 9-11 world, travel to
the Middle East is not the way
most Americans want to spend
their vacation. Mention Israel
and images of burned out buses,
bombed restaurants and Merkava tanks rolling through the
West Bank permeate our minds,
it is a wonder anyone would go
at all. It is a shame because,
Israel, a country smaller than
New Jersey, has more to see and
do than most European destinations.
Jerusalem is a great starting
point and aside from how utterly
beautiful it is one of its striking
features is that every building is
made of stone. In ancient times,
it was believed Jerusalem was in
heaven because it was always in
the clouds and the long, steep
ride from Tel-Aviv helps one tp
understand this.
Standing I n the old city, the
view in any direction is breathtaking. Valleys and hills abound
with neighborhoods and forests
and it does not take too much
to imagine you are back i n
biblical times. Jerusalem has
so much history and religious
significance, it can be almost
overwhelming. To avoid this,
simply get lost in the old city and
wander through the Armenian,
Arab, Christian, and Jewish
quarters. Take in the smell
of aromatic spices and strong
Turkish coffee that can be found
everywhere. At some point,
you will want to see the Wailing Wall, Judaism's third holiest
site. It was the retaining wall
to the second temple before the
Romans burnt it down in A.D.
70. It is fascinating because on
top of it lies the Temple Mount
and the Al-Aqusa; Mosque,
Islam's third holiest site.
The Holy Church of the Sepulcher is right down the road; it
was built at the spot where Jesus
was nailed to the cross. The
Brave traveler can also venture
out to Yad Vashem, Israel's holocaust museum that is enormous
and at times difficult. It's also
where all visiting heads of state
are brought.
Tel-Aviv is completely different from Jerusalem. In this hundred-year-old city, you will feel
like you are in Miami. There are
modern high rises, fancy restaurants and very chic young people
talking on cell phones wherever
they go.
There is a very long promenade on the beach where TelAviv sits and it is lined with restaurants, bars, and clubs where
if you do not look good enough,
you do not get in. Jerusalem
feels like history and religion,
Tel-Aviv screams party, which
they do until seven in the a.m.
There are tons of art galleries
and historical museums. It's a
fast paced town and the best way
to see it is to just wander around
and get lost.
After all the history, museums
and ancient ruins, it's time to just
relax and head out to the port city
o f Eilat. Only five miles wide, it
sits in the red sea between Egypt
and Jordan.
Eliat is about beach bars and
Vegas style hotels. The desert
is right at its doorstep and riding
a camel can be an interesting if
not smelly adventure. Eilat also
offers submarine tours and has
an interactive dolphin park. The
reefs in the Red Sea are some of
the best in the world for diving
and the water is warm and inviting with lots of tropical fish.
Nightlife, it doesn't matter where
you go, is cranking. This is a city
of guilty pleasures.
Israel doesn't require a visa
for Americans and if booked in
advance, round trip tickets can
be around six hundred dollars.
It is not the most popular destination but the exchange rate is
good and there is a lot to do.

salsa, ketchup, wine and numerous other staining

If flying, I advise anyone to avoid checking
luggage on a flight unless they have to. A good
trick to provide more carry-on room is to wear the
bulkiest clothes on the plane. You spare valuable
baggage room, and if you wear a large jacket with
many pockets, you can stuff them with books, CDs,
or more clothes. (Warning: you will have to empty
out all contents of your pockets at the security
checkpoint. Putting underwear i n your pockets
might be embarrassing, but if you have an unusually
amusing taste in underwear, go for it.)
Know your clothes. Bring your most versatile
outfits. Pack clothing that you can be comfortable
wearing in hot or cold climates.
Always check the weather of your destination.
This can save a lot of hassle, but as we all know,
weather forecasts can be wrong. Bring along at least
one pair of clothes that would accommodate weather
opposite of what the forecast says.
Most importantly, have fun and be safe.

PUERTO RICO offers
the best of the Caribbean
ByTORFREED
Pride StaffWriter
Puerto Rico is often the starting point for people taking
cruises around the Caribbean.
Unfortunately, that means most
people only spend a day there and
miss much Of what this exciting
island has to offer.
Everyone likes a tropical destination and Puerto Rico will not fail in
that regard, but it also has a lot of history, a vibrant culture and all the modern
amenities that people love. Puerto Rico
has lots of mountains iathe center of the
Island for hiking, world-class surfing
in Rincón and even horseback riding.
There are also excellent golf courses for
those wanting a more 'Hawaiian' vacation.
Whether you want a rugged, adventurous holiday, being a beach bum or clubbing in San Juan, it's all there.
San Juan, the capital city of Puerto
Rico, is really two parts. The main
city has been built up, is very modern
and serves as the banking center of the
Caribbean. Here you'llfindtrendy cafés,
fine restaurants and trend-setting clubs
with some of the most beautiful people
in the world. It's easy to take it all in,
lounging on the beach, and then go clubbing at night.
The old city was revamped in the early
90's to retain its traditional Spanish
architecture. Here you'll find old buildings in bright colors and cobblestone
streets—remnants of Spanish settlers
who tried to make it like home. This is
the place to be: most of the tourists don't
frequent the bars here and you'll run into
some really wonderful locals. At the end
of the city is Old Fort Morro, a sprawling
park that used to house cannons to protect the Island from invasion.
Leaving the city and driving through
the countryside is quite interesting,
Things stop being so modern and
become much more cultural. Rincón is a
fun place, not only because it has some of

the best waves in the world, but because
it's a sleepy town and the beaches are
relaxing. It's not unusual to see roosters
roaming about or wild yaks in someone's
yard. The people are very laid back and
the town is quiet, perfect for some rest
and relaxation.
Puerto Rico also boasts the highest
point in the Caribbean, the Arecibo
observatory. It's a bit of a drive to get
there but the view is breathtaking and
y o u can see much of the Caribbean for
miles. While you're there, for those that
like hiking there's a really interesting
hike down into San Cristobal Canyon.
it's literally a chasm in the middle of
the Island that you can follow to an old
quarry with great swimming. The vegetation is lush, and the waterfall at the
end of the quarry is not to be missed,
Puerto Rico has a few other interesting
attractions as well. The Sea of Mayaguez
has phosphorescent water. There are tour
boats that go out at night and anything
that touches the water sets off a natural
light show because of all the algae. It's a
f U n ride and unlike anything you'll ever
see.
The Luquillo beaches, a little east of
San Juan, are some of the nicest anywhere. Long strips of clean white sand
with public bathrooms and cafeterias
make it very popular,
since Puerto Rico is under the jurisdiction of the U.S., travel i s easy and
the currency is the U.S. dollar. You'll
find everything inviting: the culture, the
people and the food are all top-notch.

By SARAH CARLIN
Pride StaflfWriter
The only appropriate answer
to the question, "What was it like
living abroad for an entire year?"
is the cheap one. The cheap
answer is at the same tiijje the
most honest: "I can't."
In a quaint college town in the
south of Germany was where I
lived for an entire year. A s sleepy
as the town felt most of the time,
never have I felt as awake as I
did living my life somewhere
completely different to what I had
known up to that point in my life.
I could write about the endless
churches and castles I saw during
those twelve months, but the
memory of the grocery store is
what permeates most strongly. I
can smell the fresh baked pretzels
and the cheese. I remember my
walk through the snow, down the
bike path, past the yellow phone
booth and the geese that would
honk at passers by.
The grocery store closest to my
east-German-esque style living
situation was the HL-Markt. This
grocery store was unlike any
major American grocery store; not
SlB
OUBlSCtt?
only
was hot, spicy food sometimes difficult to find, only: three
check-out stands and a myriad of
sausages, but a number of other
things I had to become accustomed to.
Take for. instance, when in the
German grocery store, or farmer's market, one must not touch,
feel or squeeze to test the ripeness
of any fruit or vegetable. I found
this out the hard way one morning
while examining avocados at the
market.
"Was machen Sie!?!" said an
older German frau. I was confused, dropped the avocado in
the bin, and walked away a bit
perplexed. Germans have a very
stern language at times, and the
approximate English translation
of my encounter would be, "What
the hell are you doing!?!"
My grandmother, who is originally from Berlin, and currently
lives in the Los Angeles area, just
as she has for the past forty years,
explained to me when she came
to visit that Germans do not feel
fruits or vegetables at the grocery
store. She also explained to me
that this was a benefit as she sees
it to living in America: testing
your produce prior to purchase.
Another thing I could never get
used to was the idea of standing
in line at the store.
There is no personal bubble, that
space you own wherever you go,
like there is here in America, that
everyone else is keenly aware of.
People breathe on you in line.
You feel every exhale of the guy
standing behind you on the back
of your neck.
After much aggravation I
adapted. I couldn't change the
people standing in the line, but
I could change the way I was
standing in line. I began placing
the basket on the floor between
my legs and standing over it
sideways. I was happy not to be
breathed on, and no one really
noticed my change in position.
Here, in America at the major
market chains, consumers choose
from ten different checkout
stands at any given time, whether
it's 4 a.m. or 12 p.m. If the line is
three or more people long a new
check stand opens and customers
will ask the person next in line to
go ahead.
It took me a long time to get
used to the German system of
check stand lines. There was
never, in my experience, a time
when I was asked to go ahead
because I would be the next
person to be checked out. Instead,
whoever could run, push or shove
his or her way through the quickest was the winner.

Cafe's line up the sidewalks in Germany.
It took a very long time to get
used to this. I thought everyone
was just rude. I should have
caught on sooner, but didn't really
feel comfortable with the idea
of bulldozing through shopping
carts and baskets just to pay for
my items first. A s time passed,
after spending too much time in
line, there was the revelation that
I had been living in the country
long enough that I should really
attempt to fit in better.
On one particular frosty December morning, the line was at least
ten people long and there was
only one check-out stand open. I
saw from the corner of my eye a
teenager, Fanta and chocolate in
hand, waiting on the side for the
new check-out stand to open. I
slyly left the second to last spot in
line and pretended to examine the
chocolates. I watched the woman
from the corner o f my eye take
her seat at her cash register, and
then swooped in with my basket
of goods.
I felt a little- guilty, like cutting
in a line of cars by using the freeway shoulder—not that I would
ever do that. I looked around as
I placed my items on the conveyor
belt to see the faces of my fellow
shoppers, but there weren't any
angry expressions on the faces of
anyone in line. I had successfully
made them think I was German.
After this turning point, living
in my cute college town was different. Instead of pin-pointing all
of the similarities, or the differences between Tubingen and my
hometown, I started living where
I was, and stopped living somewhere in between the two.
The shock & awe of
a Spanish Bullfight
By ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride StaffWriter
The best part about traveling is the
unexpected events that happen to you. I
like to refer to these as "blessings in disguise" because these are the moments that
will stay with you forever.
On my way to Barcelona, Spain I got
stuck in Seville. Getting stuck was really
me not knowing I had to book a reservation and then finding out the trains were
all filled up for the next three days.
Seville is one of the best places I found
in Europe. The people are extremely
warm and friendly; the weather is a perfect 75 degrees; and the streets are clean
and safe for walking around at all hours.
On one of my walks around the city I
came across an advertisement for a bullfight that would be taking place that day. I
thought this would be a great opportunity
for some cheap entertainment.
Well it was definitely cheap, but way
beyond entertaining.
I had never been to a bullfight before
and was so excited to see what one actually is like.
m I found out quite soon that yes, the matadors do dress in the traditional costume
that is depicted in movies.
But one new detail that struck me in the
heart was that the bulls are stabbed in the
back before they even enter the ring. And
to make the fight even less fair; there are
about 4 -6 "helpers" out in the ring protecting the matador from the bull.
A s I watched the battle from my ringside seat, I was shocked and amazed at the
brutality of this popular Spanish sport.
After the matador stabs the bull so much
that the animal can barely move, he then
makes a sort of flourish movement with
his arm and finishes the bull o ff by sticking a sword

a victorious matador.
the bull's eyes. At this point the whole
stadium stands up cheering.. .for what I'm
not sure.
The "unforgettable" moment that I
experienced at this event was when the
fifth bull came out and during the socalled "battle", the bull skewered the
matador with his horns.
This was the most surreal
image I have ever witnessed.
I saw the bull literally stick
his horns into the
matador's right thigh
and lower stomach...then lift the
man entirely o ff the
ground.
I am not sure I can say that the
bull won this fight...as soon as the
man was taken away about six men
came out and killed the bull.
This seems very unfair to the bull. It
was rough to watch a man get hurt, but it
just seems so wrong to kill the bull if he
wins the fight.
I tried to find out the next day if the
matador had died, but all the newspapers
were in Spanish.
I do not think I will ever go see another
bullfight, but I will never forget the one
that I saw.

What is it like to be an international
student at CSUSM?
Yoko Suzuki and Emily Ng explain
what it is like to be a student so
farfrom home
By JASON ROBBINS
Pride Staff Writer
By CLAUDE SAYF
Pride Staff Writer
Being far
from home is quite an experience. Being far from
home in another country and not speaking the language can be terrifying.
Yoko Suzuki is a 23-year-old senior from Kanagawa, Japan. She started her college career three
and a half years ago at San Diego State University's
English program. This program was for new students in the United States who needed to learn English quickly in order to begin college.
Moving to a new country for school is a very
adventurous thing to do. She felt only excitement
when she got here. Living in San Marcos, she
started at Palomar College getting her general education requirements out of the way.
At that time she didn't have a motorized form
of transportation, so she bought a bicycle and got
around on it instead. Suzuki says that her bike
became her best friend for the next year and a half as
she rode it everywhere.
After completing her general education requirements at Palomar. College she transferred to Cal
State San Marcos. Her major is Sociology and she
plans on using her degree to help children in need alt
around the world. She aspires to work for organizations like UNICEF that help children.
Suzuki believes -that because children are the
future of the world, they must be cared for and provided with the same kind of education that she feels,
so fortunate to have.
Yoko appreciates her sociology professors
because they have been so kind to her. They never
have any quams about staying after class to help her
or making extra time for her, she says. That type
of concern and care is what she wants to share with
others after college. And given the right opportunities, she will.
It's not easy being away from her family, who own
a sushi restaurant in Japan called Shige Zushi. Shige
is her dad's first name and Zushi means sushi. It's a
family-run business that her mom, dad, and grandfather work at .
Suzuki's older sister is also away from Japan,
working as a hairdresser in Sydney, Australia. Yoko
had the opprtunity to spend last New Years with her
in Australia. They had a wonderful time enjoying
the ceremonies andfireworkstogether, she says.
For Yoko, the experience of a college education in
a far away land made her see how precious her life in
Japan really was. She is able to look at her country
from the outside in and see the good and the bad that
Japan has to offer. When, asked what she thought
about being away from her country she answered,
"You don't know what you've got until it's gone." •
How many ocean
waves do you think break between Hong Kong and North
America in a day? My estimate is about nine million;
plus or minus ten million. While nine million is plenty,
do these waves alone serve to propel dreams across the
Pacific Ocean? Or does it take something else?
In some cases all it takes is a degree from a California
university and a messy serving of the English language.
These are the incentives that guided the 21 year old,
international student, Emily Ng to CSUSM.
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Emily left her
homeland to finish high school in Canada. Upon
graduation, Ng then left Canada for a college
she had heard about during a college fair. This
college was Cal State University San Marcos.
"English is an international language," said Ng in
explaining why she chose to attend an American school.
Acting congruent with her reasoning; she selected Global
Business Management as her major. As her travels and
studies reveal, Ng is a truly international student.
When Ng is able to ignore the wailing pleas of her
text books, she enjoys partying, dancing, and time with
her friends. While a lack of confidence once inhibited
her personality, Ng says she has established friendly
relationships through the International Club. Despite
the radness of San Marcos and the new Starbucks in
the library, Emily and her friends prefer downtown San
Diego for social activities. In comparing San Marcos to
her birthplace, Ng said "Hong Kong is more fun." There
is no doubt.
Sometimes it is difficult to have fun inside the
classroom too. Emily understands most simple English
words but has trouble with the more complex ones.
Fortunately professors have acknowledged her limited
English in a positive manner. She says that instructors
have exhibited patience and effort in dealing with her
situation.
When it comes to the more concrete components of
our campus, Ng has mixed feelings. "I expected a bigger
school." This international student, who essentially
traveled thousands of miles to learn English and attend
college, had no clue as to how small the CSUSM campus
was. She said she expected the community to be more
populated and for there to be more sports teams.
It is indeed hard to recognize our campus as small
without the aid of blue prints or a visit. But it is easy
to imagine some of the lumbering difficulties that may
subdue even the most spirited of international students.
Ms. Ng includes the language barrier, financial issues,
and self-reliance on her list. She has a part time job
on campus to help nurture her finances and must rely
on herself for every other challenge. Yet it is clear that
being^away from home has its benefits. "I enjoy being
alone sometimes." Ng said there was too much pressure
at home. This comes from a working student from Hong
Kong up against a language barrier and the doldrums of
San Marcos.
' For Emily Ng, waves were not what propelled her
dreams across the vast Pacific. It was not several soulenriching, will extracting, ocean sunsets that forced her
to reach past the horizon. It was education and English.
And it was the resolve to be truly international. Emily's
best experience at CSUSM: "Meeting new people."

Lit S tudies g ets
an I nternational
p rospective f rom
Professor Moukhlis
ByTOM PFINGSTEN
Pride StaffWriter
Salah Moukhlis is clicking through a photo album
on his computer of pictures he took the last time he
went home to Morocco. Little black-haired nephews,
dusty roads and colorful marketplaces fill the screen.
"By the way," he says, pausing on a photo of an ornate
brick building, "that's the oldest university in the
world."
The irony is not lost on Moukhlis, whose education
has taken him from Morocco to England and Long
Island. He teaches literary theory at CSUSM—one
of the youngest universities in the world—while in
Fes, Morocco, his counterparts have been instructing
students since A.D. 859.
During his time as an undergraduate in Morocco—
and then during later work on his M. Lit in Victorian
Studies in England—Moukhlis focused exclusively
on British literature. But after having a drink with a
colleague in Morocco, where he taught college classes
for 12 years, Moukhlis decided that he needed to study
literature from "The Maghreb."
After awakening to the world of African writing,
Moukhlis says he remembers thinking, "Hey, I want
to read something about myself, about my people."
With that in mind, he began working on his PhD
in Comparative Studies at Stony Brook University in
New York, with a focus on the Maghreb,
"Maghreb" is the Arabic word for "west," but serves
as the name for the country of Morocco, situated on
the north-west corner of Africa. Maghreb literature,
written mostly in Arabic, has been heavily influenced
by the years that Morocco spent as a French Protectorate (1912-1956).
The diversity Moukhlis has experienced in his
education makes for an interesting take on literature:
British traditionalism with an African postcolonial
twist. While Moukhlis has studied British literature
extensively, he makes no apologies for European colonialists.
"It's good to see things in perspective," he says.
"They literally carved Africa."
Moukhlis also notes that British colonial texts
played a large part in sparking his interest in Maghreb
literature, much of which exists as an answer to colonialism.
"When you read what these people have to say about
you, all of a sudden you're not a neutral reader," he
says.
Speaking with an accent that is neither wholly
French nor wholly Moroccan, Moukhlis explains that
English is his fourth language, preceded by Arabic,
French and Moroccan Arabic, a barely-distinguishable Arabic dialect. He is known by his students for
that accent, as well as for his quirky style of teaching
and his former "addiction" to breath mints.
They also know him for his unusual passion for
subjects widely regarded as dry and difficult to teach.
It's not rare to find Moukhlis energetically teaching
the details of Russian Formalism or New Historicism,
.pacing the classroom with his coffee cup in hand and
drawing pictures on the blackboard.
How does he explain his excitement? Turning back
to his computer, Moukhlis admits with a guilty smile,
"I just love literary theory."

'!'Alternative Spring
Break programs
enable
students to
participate
in helping and learning
more about the epidemic
homelessness
work with organizations such as the
YMCA, Habitat for Humanity, and
other community based organizations.
The goal is to educate students and
open minds, while giving them handson experiences toward the issues of
homelessness.
If San Diego is a little too close to
home to be spring break worthy, then
you might want to head a little north
and spend a week in Santa Cruz and
• San Francisco.
In these
cities, alternative spring
breaks offer a closer look and
understanding of people with
disabilities. Join and meet
other fellow Cal State students as they learn the rights
and laws affecting disabled
of
populations, mental-physical-cultural awareness, and a
survey of different organiza-
tions such as people with cerebral palsy
and mental retardation.
These may not be your typical spring
break ideas however, alternative spring
breaks offer something more rewarding. They offer an opportunity to help
your local community while educating
and experiencing critical issues close to
home. If you are looking to do something during spring break with a little
more substance than cheap drinks and
easy hook-ups then alternative spring
breaks may leave your heart singing
rather than heart broken.

other alternative spring breaks go to

Spring Break rip-offs
By EIJKABEra BALDWIN
Pride StaffWriter
California Student Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG)
released a report citing that students
pay on average 62 percent more for
travel.
The report found that travel companies included hidden, fees along
with deceptive marketing practices
in their Spring Break travel packages.
"Spring Break is supposed to be a
chance for students to relax and recuperate. Instead, travel companies are
using it as a chance to fleece students," said Merriah Fairchild, CALPIRG higher education advocate.
Students are encouraged to
research a travel agency before booking a package deal.
Also, beware of any company that
requires you to sign a contract waiving or limiting your legal rights to
file a dispute or receive a refund.

�TiavdTips w / C hdseaGeags
By CHELSEA GEORGE
Pride Staff Writer
As spring break grows closer many students are getting ready to jet off to exotic
locations. But before you pack your bag,
here are a few helpful travel tips.
Choose your traveling companions
wisely. Nothing is worse than taking a trip
with someone and hating them at the end
of it. Pick people that you know are out to
have a good time. If your group is happy
and ready to find fun things to do in your
new locale, chances are you will be too.
Plus, if it's one of those friends that you
love to death but who drives you nuts after
being around them for a few hours just
imagine how you'll feel after a few days.
Check the weather and pack for it.
You don't want to drag around a bunch if
unwanted baggage so pack the essentials
and try to leave everything else at home.
If you already know most of your itinerary pack by outfit not by piece and try
to pick outfits that can go with the same
accessories. If you're going somewhere
warm, however, you should pack at least
one warm outfit because even deserts get
cold at night.
If you're going somewhere that requires
you to be in your bikini or trunks the whole
time, work on your tan beforehand to try to
prevent burning. You don't want to have to
stay in the hotel after the first day because
the skin is peeling off your back.
Another way t o avoid burning is to pack
your sunscreen. One that you might want
to try is Bullfrog: it comes as strong as
SPF45 and lasts extremely well in water,
though it is a little greasy.
For those traveling to foreign countries,
you can check regional recommendations
on vaccinations, food and water-borne illnesses at www.cdc.gov/travel or call toll
free 877-FYI-TRIP. It gives you helpful
ways to avoid illnesses in any destination.
For instance, those of you going to Mexico
should bring bottled water even to brush
your teeth with and not drink any beverages with ice.
Another thing travelers should consider
is trip insurance. The best policies cover
trip cancellation, trip interruption, baggage and trip delay, accidental medical
expenses, in-hospital indemnity, lost or
stolen baggage, rental car collision damage
waiver and rental car personal accident
insurance. Call your insurance company
to verify that you have medical coverage
overseas. If you have a AAA membership,
you may already be covered.
If you're taking a road trip make sure
you have a fully-inflated spare tire. Bring
a flashlight, a cell phone and your A AA
card in case you have any problems and
end up on the side of the road somewhere.
Try to drive during the day and if you do
drive at night avoid truck stops and scary
neighborhoods.
For all those flying to their vacation spot,
you can avoid flight delays by flying in the
morning, the later the day goes the more air
traffic has built up and don't even attempt
to fly on a Friday. Try to get a nonstop
flight but if you have to take a lay-over try
to avoid airports known for bad weather
or traffic. Also, when packing for a plane
trip make sure to pack electronics, jewelry,
documents, medicine or any necessary
valuable items in a carry-on bag. If you're
traveling with a friend split your luggage
between the two bags so if one is lost you
still have some clean clothes to change
into.
Once you get to your destination you're
most likely going to need some cash. There
are three options: converting all your cash
to foreign currency, using traveler's checks
or using credit cards.
The problem with carrying your cash
around the whole trip is that you probably
won't get a very good exchange rate and
if something
happens to it you're^
stuck.
With travelers
checks you can cash them out
as you need throughout your trip and
if they end up lost or stolen you can have
them replaced. Meanwhile, no one else
can use your traveler's checks because
they require matching signatures and a
photo ID.
When cashing traveler's checks or
exchanging your cash for foreign currency,
try to go to a bank—they usually give the
best exchange rate, so you won't be losing
some of your hard earned cash during the
exchange.
Another way to get a good exchange rate
is to use your credit card. If you have a card
and plan to pay the balance responsibly,
use it when you travel overseas to get you a
better exchange rate that you'll get almost
anywhere. Credit card companies can get
better rates than you can, so if you charge
your hotel and restaurant bills instead of
converting travelers checks and paying
cash, it will end up costing you less.
Probably the most important piece of
travel advice for everyone is, have fun.
After all, that is what vacations are all
about.
L ETTERS F ROM A BROAD
Two csusm students write in from overseas about their experience in the United Kingdom
If you
had the opportunity to change your
life would you take it or let, it pass
you by?
Imagine travelling the world on
your weekends, having friends from
all over and gaining the experience
of a lifetime! You can have all of this
just by studying abroad. My name
is Stacy Goldstein and I didn't know
why I wanted to study abroad at first,
I just knew I had to do it. I had no
expectations, just the curiosity- of
wondering what it would be like to
live and attend a university in the
UK. Now, after one semester, I have
travelled through most of Europe
and have friends in Spain, Finland,
France, Germany, and Australia
and of course in England. I am also
involved in the International Society
and play for the University of Central
Lancashire's Women's Basketball
Team. I liked being here so much
that I decided to extend my stay for
another semester. It definitely wasn't
the cold, "rainy weather that kept me
here; instead it was the people, the
culture, and the opportunity to gain
a new set of eyes that allowed me to
see America in another light. Living
in another country has helped me gain
a better perspective on America and
the world. Don't get me wrong, I still
love America and I miss the beach
and eating carne asada burritos, but
overall, studying and living in another
country is unlike anything else I've
ever experienced, and it's something
you would have to try for yourself to
fully understand. It's so refreshing to
wake up every day and be faced with
decisions like: do I want to travel to
London or Paris today? It's so easy
to travel because the transportation
system here is so amazing and it
makes me forget all about my car at
home. The social life is also thrilling
and ongoing, sometimes I find myself
going out every night: I mean going t o
pubs is a part of the British culture and
I'm just doing my part to understand
it. The going to school part is also
great; I like the fact that you are
encouraged to call your professors by
their first names, and also that we are
not given homework or tests! At the
university I'm attending, class only
meets once a week and your grades
are based on two essays. Sometimes
it can be difficult to balance school,
clubs, sports, travelling and a social
life but then again.. .it's all a part of
the experience. All I know is that
coming here was the best decision of
my life and has changed me forever.
So, whatever your reasons are for
studying abroad, whether it be to
travel, pick up a British accent, meet
new people or no reason at all; just
stop by Global Affairs and look into
it, because it could be the best thing
you ever did too!
Hiya from Preston, UK
I found out why European
cars have such heavy frames,
'parking spaces" are half on
the curb and half on the street;
those cobblestone streets don't
help either. I have yet to drive
on what us Americans would
call the 'wrong' side of the
road but would like to try. On
the other hand, never have I
felt so liberated from my car,
or walked so much in my life.
It feels great. The streets in
town are busy with people,
unlike America's deserted
main streets. It's pleasant to
drop into a pastry shop on
your way to class or slip into
the small shop tucked away
down an alley.
I think my friend had the
best advice: "Be a sponge
and absorb everything around
you." I feel invigorated being
in a different country and
participating in other cultures.
It's easy to pick out the Brits
standing in a queue (line) for
the club, they are the ones
without a coat on whether it's
freezing or raining. In addition to the British culture,
I live with two Polish, one
German and another American. It's fun to compare our
languages, food and other
idiosyncrasies.
So . ...everyone was right,
the food has something to be
desired, but when I get desperate there is always Subway,
KFC, or McDonalds. Globalization couldn't be more
obvious. Starbucks is also a
hot spot but I have yet to find
one in my university library.
In addition to the few familiar
restaurants, the entertainment
industry is very alive with
American films and music.
In other words, it's hard to get
homesick.
I have to be honest, there are
a few things I miss - like regular size kitchen appliances,
service at restaurants and
toilets that flush. The Brits
would say, "Yeah, the toilets
are dodgy." I never knew it
was a luxury. Since the tip is
included on the bill the food
servers are very inattentive.
If you get their attention you
have to be ready to order or
else you sit around for another
twenty minutes. This is something that I need to adapt to, I
am usually eating on the go..
Traveling or 'going on holiday' couldn't be easier here. I
have already explored London
and ventured to Liverpool
(home of the Beatles), Manchester (home of the famous
football or soccer team), York
(you don't know York, c'mon),
Edinburgh, Scotland (to see
the castle and men in kilts),
Conwy castle in Northern
Wales, and this weekend, who
knows where the train will
drop me. If only the U.S. was
smaller, I would ride the train
over flying any day.
On a more serious note, university, or uni to the locals, is
structured a lot differently. It
only takes three years to earn
a bachelor degree because they
don't take any general education courses. Your chosen
major is 4 much more indepth study; hence, students
are more specialized in their
field. One of the most intriguing lessons that I have learned
thus far is others perspectives
of the United States and 'our
land of opportunity.' I never
appreciated being an American until others brought it to
my attention.
Don't miss your chance;
travel while you are young and
don't have as many responsibilities! Open your mind!
Cheers, Zoe Underhill

Parents of students from the Early Learning Center (ELC) preschool gathered in the Clarke Field House, Friday March 19, to discuss with ASI officers the closing of their children's school.
Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), provides about $106,000 to support the preschool's
proposed $324,000
annual
budget,
according to Honey
Folk, ASI executive
president and CEO.
Each
CSUSM
student pays $50 per
semester to ASI. Lura
Poggi, ASI executive
director, said that
currently 13 percent
of the $50 student
fee pays for the Early
Learning Center and
that ASI revenues
might fall between
10 to 12 percent next
year with the budget
cuts that are currently
taking place.

Deep in the heart of the
chaotic medieval age are the
tales forged of the dungeon
master,
mythic
gods,
powerful arcane magic, valiant knight lords, radiant
princesses and shadowy secrets of the stealthy
assassin lurking in the black of night outside a
raucous tavern.
The dungeon master, ruler of his domain and
keeper of Dungeons & Dragons, is the first realm
among the legacy of the mystical tradition of roleplaying games.
Its truth, however, need not be shrouded in
mystery, for the excitement of its adventure, the
intrigue of its legends, lie in the imagination, the
wondrous gift of human nature, to be wielded by
each, if one should dare.
Here, at CSUSM, dwells a subculture of roleplayers, each member embarking on a boundless
journey of danger and glory amid the vast worlds
of the mind.
The dungeon master
The essence of the role-playing game is found
in the heart and mind of any player who joins the
"campaign," an ongoing story created and mediated
by the Dungeon Master (DM), or game master
(GM). The DM acts as the characters in the realm
he has created, narrating the events that set the stage
for player interaction. As the DM tells the story,
player characters (PCs) are free to interact with
their imaginary environment and its inhabitants as
they choose, confined only by their own characters'
abilities.
Players adopt the roles of characters such as
warriors, wizards, rogues and druids, assigning
them personal traits such as strength and
intelligence, equipping them with weapons, armor,
spellbooks, lockpicks, etc., and breath life into them
with backgrounds and personalities, to be played
accordingly.
Role-players use extensive rulebooks that inform
DM's and players as to how their game should be
run, various multifaceted dice that arbitrate the
uncertainties of game experiences, "character
sheets" that record the statistics of their characters
and sometimes maps of the lands they explore.
No board, no pieces, no start orfinish,no winners
or losers inspire the role-playing universe, only the
thrill of evolving into the hero you have always
dreamed you could become.
Players gather in pizza parlors, game shops or
living rooms to experience the pinnacle of their
creativity. For avid Dungeons & Dragons (D&D)
enthusiast Chuck Buchwald, it is an experience of
total immersion. A student teacher in CSUSM's
graduate mathematics program, Buchwald and
his gaming companion and master's colleague,
Tim Eddo, apply their mathematical expertise,
employing formulas to recreate the quantitative
game mechanics.
"We're math dorks," said Buchwald, attesting to
his zeal for the potential mathematical complexity
of D&D.
Buchwald and his group of "adventurers," tread
their treacherous underworld of "The Dungeon,"
a garage adorned with black and grey sheets
mimicking dungeon walls, murals, mounted swords
and armor, and a dragon water fountain that breathes

fined speakers to limited representation of various groups.
Four of seven planned CSSA/CSSC presenters were
afforded voice before the board, including Tylor Middlestadt
of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo (SLO), Daniel Scheppler of Cal
State Fullerton, Roper, and Pablo Pastor of Cal Poly, SLO.
Remaining unheard CSSA/CSSC members included
Rachel Aljilani of Cal Poly, SLO, Zachary Mermel of
Humboldt State University, and Shakti Maisen of Cal State
Northridge. The CSSA organizes around students' needs
and interests throughout the CSU, and has worked on sustainability as a policy agenda item over the past three years.
The CSSC, an organization created by UC students in
2003, offering admittance to CSU students in February
2004, successfully lobbied UC Regents to adopt a "strong
sustainability policy" in 2003.
Roper presented his policy as lone dissenter and student
representative member of the CSU Committee for the Development of Sustainability Design Policy (CDSDP), whose
overseer, Asst. Vice Chancellor Vi San Juan recently presented the committees' policy before the Board of Trustees.
In his February Environmental Affairs Officer Report,
Roper highlighted what he identified as weaknesses in the
CDSDP's Feb. 6 resolution, including:
No commitment to any specific percent of renewable
energy to be used in the future.
No commitment to any building efficiency/sustainability
standards.
In a March 18 press release, Roper stated goals on behalf
of the CSSC's "Renew CSU" campaign, including:
Clean energy: universities should make a commitment to
obtain at least 25 percent of their electricity from renewable
sources by 2014 and 50 percent by 2024.
Green buildings: renovated and newly constructed buildings should be designed using green building guidelines
developed by the U.S. Green Buildings Council (USGBC).
Energy efficiency: energy use per student should be
reduced by 20 percent by 2014 and 40 percent by 2024.
Over a 60-year life cycle, The USGBC's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver sustainable buildings would cost half as much to design, construct,
operate, and maintain as a conventional structure, according
to CSSC figures.
Aljilani cited that over 140 LEED buildings exist in California as of August 2003. "Green buildings are 25-30 percent more energy efficient," she said.
Roper estimated that a long-term sustainability policy
would eventually save the universities hundreds of millions
of dollars, saying, "Especially in light of current budget cuts
- what better time for students to be active and try to save
us money?"

ELC, began the open forum discussion by
asserting that over the five years that she
has been bringing her children to the ELC,
funding has never been an issue until now.
"I think that is because ASI has always
been aware that to meet their needs, they
needed to have a daycare center," Barker
said.
"Currently 22 out of the 25 CSU schools
have daycare," Barker added, "This is
because those schools have ASI members
who are in tune with the importance of
meeting basic needs for their students."
Parents that spoke on Friday were students at CSUSM who concluded that without the ELC they would have to give up
their education due to the lack of daycare.
One parent, Sabrina Wistain, said that
she only has four classes left, which makes
next semester her last. If ASI decides to
close down the ELC she will have to quit
before her last semester.
"There is no other childcare that I trust,"
Wistain said. "Do I quit my education after
coming this far? To give up a career that
will provide a good future for my child."
Another parent, Christine Focosi-Mckelvey, went line by line through ASI's cost
of items budget.
"I noticed that only two items have gone
up (in price), since 1998, while all other
items have gone down," Christine said.
Folk explained that the problem is not
that prices per item are going up, but
rather, that "revenue is drastically dropping." In addition that $112,000 of cuts has
already been made and that with all of the
cuts, including cutting all food costs for the
ELC, there is still a deficit of $57,000.
ASI is currently working to get grants
to build a new early learning center that
would be affiliated with the College of
Education. Which, Poggi says would still
not be able to open until at least 2007.
To seek more options, Poggi is negotiating with an organization who may
decide to help out and run the ELC. Poggi
explained that they seemed interested and
that they were scheduled to tour ELC later
that day to talk in more detail about taking
over the preschool.
Questions were brought up as to whether
or not the ELC would keep their staff,
and if the program would stay the same
or change. Poggi said that she would
need more information before having the
answers to those questions.
Before voting unanimously to table the
issue of ELC to a later date, ASI board
members promised the parents another
chance to have a meeting solely on the sub-
ject of ELC before making a decision. Folk
explained that this date will be discussed
by ASI and will be available 72 hours
before the scheduled meeting.
The Early Learning Center is one of the
few options for childcare in the area surrounding CSUSM.
According to a handout supplied by ASI,
the ELC charges CSUSM students $23 per
day for full-time care and $16 per day for
part-time care. Faculty, staff and community members pay $30 per day for full-time
care and $20 per day for part-time care.
If ELC is closed the nearest childcare
facility is Discovery Isle, which is located
behind Ralph's shopping center across
from campus.
A representative from Discovery Isle
said childcare at Discover Isle is on a fulltime attendance basis, meeting a minimum
of 5.5 hours per day. They accept children
between the ages of 6 weeks to first grade
and charge $686 per month with a 10 percent discount for a second child.

Benji Master and Andrew Lees study hard for a role-playing game on Saturday with each other.
GAMERS
such as fighters and magic users,
to be cast into an established
environment, conquering foes in
order to complete quests.
Michael Nguyen, computer
science major, and Chris Miranda,
biochemistry major, play Final
Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles,
in which they travel from their
home village, which they named
"CSUSM," to a multitude of
others, protecting them from
"The Mist," which mysteriously
threatens them.
Nguyen plays in some online
groups and with Lounge Krew
members regularly.
"I notice if I don't play games,
I kind of do badly in school, with
nothing to relieve stress," Nguyen
said.
A small society of sorts, LK is
a group of about 50 friends, each
bearing a "Krew name," such as
"Profe," Erik Sager, psychology
sophomore, "SCM," Nguyen, and
Dr. K.
One member, "Beau," freestyle
raps a routine incorporating all 54
"official" LK names, representing
on karaoke days featured in the
lounge, provided by ASI.
On a near-daily basis, one of the
Krew brings in a game system of
some kind, such as the Playstation
2, Gamecube, or X-Box.
The Lounge Krew said they
no longer take advantage of the
outdated arcades in the lounge,
as one LK member, who preferred
to remain anonymous, asked,
"Why? We've got the games that
we wish they had, that we want to
play. If they had the right video
games, they'd make money."
LKisoutsiderinclusive,however
communal their membership may
be. "Everybody's accepted in
here, cause we're all different
and crazy," said the same student.
"It's kind of like a fraternity or
sorority, where you get to meet
people. Some people come here
that don't even go to school here."
Sager said, "What are you going
to do for like two hours between
classes? Sit outside and not talk
to anybody - smoking, doing
nothing."
Reflecting on the potluck
Thanksgiving LK celebrated
together last year, Nguyen said,
"We're like a big family here."
Joint said he would join a gaming lounge in the commons building,

people play cards would actually
become a televised event? Well,
ESPN had the vision. ESPN
annually broadcasts the world
series of poker which showed last
years champion winning a pot of
over $2.5 million. TV stations
take you into the game by allowing you to see everyone's cards
and by having commentators call
the play by play on the action.
Recently Bravo hosted a celebrity tournament called "no limit
Texas hold'em poker tournament" that had participants such
as Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen,
Coolio, and eventual champion
Nicole Sullivan. Each contestant
was playing for charity which
resulted in winners taking home
a share of the $250,000 pot. To
capitalize on the recent craze of
poker, Bravo will host another
celebrity hold'em tourney later
in the year.
Anyone, even celebrities, can
learn to play poker well. What
most people do not realize is
that poker is actually a game
of skill and not just complete
luck. Professional poker players
have cashed in on their success
by writing books such as "The
Theory of Poker" and "Super
System." Those books can give
some insight on what to do
in certain situations of poker
games, rather than just going
with gut feelings.
The interest in poker on TV
is questionable to many people
because many just see it as playing cards. However, watching or
playing poker is more like reality
TV than "survivor" or "the real
world." The human element is
an enjoyable part of the game.
In poker, there is lying, deceiving, slipups, risks, rewards, and
hope; all of which are a huge part
of everyday life. Every poker
player experiences those words
while playing poker and it is
quite exciting to see what happens next.
So, if you are just looking for
something to do that is entertaining or if you are looking to make
some extra money just shuffle up
and deal.

Last semester Cal State San Marcos
had to limit enrollment, which caused less
money to flow into the system. Programs
like Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) depend
on that money to keep running. With the
lack of cash, ASI had to make cuts to their
$1.2 million budget.
Even after ASI's board members
made cuts, their budget was still over by
$350,000.
Their solution: cut funding to the
Early Learning Center (ELC), where 55
families send their children every week.
At the ELC young children, ages two to
six, learn the values of love, compassion,
and etiquette. The Early Learning Center
is cheaper than most preschools, and
more flexible with schedules. The ELC
also provides opportunities for education
students with valuable work experience.
Students and teachers both depend on the
Early Learning Center.
And the ELC depends on Cal State
students to help them with funding. Of the
$324,000 it will cost to run the ELC next
year, students would pay about $106,374.
the
54 per semester
That equals out to about 6.4 percent of
their $50 student fee, or about $6.75 per
semester. To keep the ELC alive next
semester it would take another $3.75 a
semester per student.
That's a cheap price to help raise more
than 55 children. It is a matter of weighing
the options setting our priorities, and
making decisions.
ASI makes those decisions. Losing the
ELC should not be an option.
The issue of the ELC is a mirror of
what's happening in the Cal State system.
the shutdown of Educational Opportunity
Programs. ASI vehemently protested
against this.
Now it's their turn. With the vitality of
the Early Learning Center in their hold,
will they follow the governor and just cut
it, or will they accept their responsibility to
provide for their students?
ASI needs tofinda way to keep the Early
Learning Center alive.

Rom the pump, or

For $2.17 per gallon you should
be able to swim in the gasoline
before it spews into your pollution-monster on wheels. Butterfly
stroke or no, that painful number
represents the average price of
gas in North County as reported
by the North County Times.
An initial reaction to this situation may be to wonder why prices
are so high. Through a calm
investigation of the Internet, I
uncovered three possible factors:
A rising cost of crude oil, uncertainty about crises in the Middle
East and Venezuela, and the fact
that an unusual amount of oil
B EER N UTS
refineries have been shutdown for
repair. Sounds good to me. But
unfortunately, it probably doesn't
matter how legitimate the explanation for high gas prices sounds;
for we just have to keep on pumping. Right?
So instead of grieving over
high prices, I wish compare gasoline to milk. More specifically I
want to determine which product
is the more cost-efficient fuel.
Both goods are primarily sold by
the gallon, and lately, both hover
around the same price. But which
one prevails in a cost/benefit
analysis? Let'sfindout.
A North County buyer can purchase one gallon of gasoline for
an average price of $2.17. Now
let's select an average car to fuel
up. I think a 2000 Honda Civic is
suitable. Honda reports that this
model gets 38 miles per gallon. A

Running on a gallon of milk or driving on a gallon of gas; a mathematical
examination reveals which of the two is the most fuel-efficient.
simple mathematical computation
reveals that for every $2.17 we
spend on gas, we get to travel 38
miles. Not bad.4
A North County buyer can purchase a gallon of milk for about
$3.50. The label on back of a
one-gallon milk container (one
percent milk) reveals that there
are 120 calories in each serving.
Since a gallon-sized container
contains 16 servings, drinking a
gallon of this type of milk would
dump a total of 1920 calories into
your body.
Now let's select an average
person to fuel up with milk.
According to an online Activity
Calorie Calculator, a 150-pound
person running 6 MPH (10
minute mile) will burn 720 calories in one hour. Thus one gallon
of milk (1920 calories) would
enable this person to run at a positive-calorie count for about 2 and
% hours. During this amount of
time, our average person (running
6MPH) would travel 16 miles.
These calculations mean that for
every $3.50 we spend on a gallon
of milk, we get nearly 16 miles out
of our hypothetical person.
Luckily we do not need to
perform any more mathematical
computations to conclude which
product is the more cost-efficient
fuel. A gallon of gasoline is
cheaper than milk and it enables
us to travel further. I suggest
reminding yourself of this comparative advantage before cringing at the pump. The results
decree that gasoline deserves our
unconditional support. It is so
affirmed.

Pride Ombudsman
Last Wednesday, the staff of
The Pride came out to Founders Plaza in an effort to bring
the paper to the students and
to recruit for the Pride Literary
Supplement The overall consensus of the affair was positive;
many students demonstrated
genuine interest in The Pride and
die Pride Literary Supplement,
where students can get their artwork published for free.
However* a student refused a
copy of the paper based on the
observation, in her own words,
that Hie Pride is "too slanted/'
This made me think.
If the definition of the word
"slanted" is intending to affiliate
us with a certain political distinction, then, I think, The Pride is
not "slanted/* I feel we could
remove any doubt by engaging in
a more in depth reporting style.
For example, if we are reporting a
storywith any political overtones,
then the reporter must interview

task considering such groups as
the Progressive Activist Network
and the College Republicans are
both on campus and both represent the contrasting sides of most
political issues. Something as
simple as that would balance any
perceived slant in our political
coverage.

' Varekai'
No words can describe the emotions that arise while all
sense of hearing is being drowned out by the sound effects
of a cave man smashing a bug, splat, squish, quack, first
using him as a tennis ball, donk, donk, donk, and then
kicking the poor bug out of the ball park, whack!
Meanwhile the human sense of sight is inadequate; seven
eyes may be enough to watch everything that is going on
through the various levels of the stage. There are flying
people being lowered down from the sky, others popping
up from under the stage, a whole circus act happening on
front stage, and lots of background acts happening in various levels in the back of the stage on huge 15-20 feet steel
poles, as others are dancing in cat walks above your head.
The sense of touch is also overwhelmed, experiencing
another level of ecstasy as bodies shake with the vibration
of the simultaneous claps of the crowd.
The audience sat speechless, yet involved, in awe at the
premier show of Cirque du Soleil this last Thursday at the
Qualcomm Stadium. The show, entitled "Varekai" began
its run there Mar. 18 and will continue until Apr. 4.
The story of "Varekai" takes place deep within a forest
where an extraordinary world exists. A world called
Varekai. In Roman the word "Varekai" means "whatever"
and this show lives up to that meaning. Anything can
happen, whatever and whenever, things beyond wildest
imagination occur, in this mesmerizing world of Varekai.
The story begins with a lizard moving to the sounds of a
chime. Other mystical creatures slowly begin coming out,
including a cave man character that is always trying to
invent things.
Within a few moments of setting the scene, the music
changes, and a solitary angel falls from the sky landing
softly in the forest of these fantastical creatures.
The angel is inspected by the creatures who consider

him dead until his performance begins. He is lifted into
the air wrapped in a net, and begins his acrobatic act in
mid-air with the net as his partner.
There is also a lady creature, with whom the angel falls
in love, as he tries to adjust to this new life in the world of
Varekai. Both the angel and the creature have an attraction and curiosity about one another but there are obstacles
which will not let them be together.
The next several acts that follow are both amazing and
unbelievable. There is never a dull moment as people are
dancing all around in extravagant costumes with intrinsic
make-up detail.
Performers are catapulted from one another's legs; they
place themselves in strange and uncomfortable positions
on top of one another; they swing from the sky either solo
or with partners; they fall into holes on stage; they bal-
ance themselves on canes; they juggle up to eight different
sized items at a time.
The female creature turns into a human as she is lowered from the sky and does a routine both in a hoop in the
sky and on hand-balancing canes on the stage. She is the
most capable contortionist in the show.
The audience was in awe, as she made beautiful, mesmerizing art with her body.
Finally the lovers are united as king and queen while the
final act of "Russian Swings" takes place. There are men
swinging from giant swings, being catapulted onto huge
white sheets where they land on the shoulders of another
man, on one leg or arm. Their costumes are bright red and
orange and the music is very upbeat and loud. The audience gets really into the show as little red pieces of paper
fly down throughout the entire audience.

'Passion' captivates U.S., evokes debate
By NICOLE SULLIVAN
Pride StaffWriter
"The Passion of the Christ," a Mel
Gibson film, came out in theatres this last
week on Feb. 26. Gibson's movie has a lot
of people talking and some controversy
surrounding it.
CSUSM Junior Erick Pettersen, a
member of Priority Christian club said,
"I appreciated that while Gibson was
modest in his portrayal of the brutality
Christ experienced, he also effectively
used dramatization to accentuate both the
reality and spirituality of Christ's life."
The controversy, he said, "is the same old
debate that has been going on for the past
2,000 years. The problem is that people
are so used to ignoring the truth that when
they are slapped upside the head with it
they tend to point fingers. The question
isn't 'Who Dunnit?' The question is 'Oh
my God, what have I done?'"
CSUSM Junior Sarah Koefod said, "It
was different than what I expected but
it was good. For the most part Gibson
did have some outside sources but everything was pretty Biblical and accurate. It
was like watching the Gospels in order.
They've made the Bible into a movie and
they've done that to many other books as

Governor Schwarzenegger:
Cuts needed "to address
unforseenfiscalneeds"
By KYLE OTTO
Pride StaffWriter
In addition to Gov. Schwarzenegger's recently proposed increase in
higher education student fees, UC and CSU students are expected to
experience further increases in future years by as much as 10 percent
annually.
In Gov. Schwarzenegger's Jan. 9, 2004-05 Budget Summary, he
stated that, "to ensure sufficient flexibility to address unforeseen
fiscal needs, the administration proposes that the state policy provide
sufficient flexibility to increase fees annually by as much as 10
percent."
In lieu of a reduction of $311 million from a CSU general f und
allocation of $2.4 billion, the governor assured California residents
that, "to ensure public university students are protected in the future
from dramatic fee increases as a consequence of declines in general
f und resources, the Administration proposes to establish a longterm fee policy to ensure future fee increases are both moderate and
predictable."

making it authentic, relevant and more

Koefod said, " I would recommend the
movie to anyone. I cried and so did my
youth group."
Ideally it would take four years to graduate from a university; however, some students may have to wait six or seven years
to get their degree if things go as planned
for the governor's 2004/2005-budget proposal.
The California Faculty Associations
(CFA) of all the CSU schools are currently working together to put a stop to the
budget cuts that could potentially cut more
lecturers.
Lecturers are those who teach on
campus that are not of the tenure-line
faculty. Lecturers support the tenure-line
faculty by providing nearly half the teaching on CSU campuses, therefore releasing
tenure-line faculty to pursue research and
other scholarly obligations.
Of these lecturers, which make up
almost 50 percent of the teaching of CSU
classes, 90 percent are on a part time
basis, which means that neither service
nor longevity can shield them from losing

Skateboard makers sending
manufacturing to China
By ROGER NARANJO
Pride StaffWriter
Made in the USA or made
in China? The skateboarding
industry has arrived at a very
serious crossroad, and might be
forced to either clash or follow a
new era in overseas skateboard
manufacturing in order to keep
up in such a competitive market.
The announcement came
when Chop Chop Wood Shop,
of Dwindle Distribution, under
the direction of Rodney Mullen,
revealed their plans to send
manufacturing overseas to
China in mid 2002. Chop Chop
Wood Shop is supposed to be a
state of the art manufacturing
plant that outperforms the
average deck manufacturer in
the United States, with respect
to quality and consistency, as
well as price.

"Specifically
the
administration
proposes
to link future increases in
undergraduate student fees
to the increase in per-capita
personal income, which reflects
the ability of families to pay
additional fees," he said.
Concerning
disadvantaged
students, he further said that,
"The administration's long-term
student fee policy will have
minimal effect on low-income
students.
Qualifying lowincome students will continue
to be eligible to receive federal
Pell Grants and Cal Grants, and
California's higher education

students."

To students this means a
reduction in the number and type
of classes available, the possible
elimination of entire programs,
prolonged graduation and less

(including office hours).
In addition, if Governor
Schwarzenegger's cuts take
effect, students would experience a reduction in student services such as counseling, reductions in libraries, and an increase
in fees with a reduction of access
tofinancialaid, and reduction or
possible elimination of student
success programs, such as EOP.
One program at CSUSM
being strongly affected by the
budget cuts is the Women's
Studies program.
Only two tenure-track faculty, with the assistance of five
lecturers, operate the entire
Women's Studies degree. With
one tenure-track faculty out on
maternity leave, Linda Pershing
associate professor, is left to do
a lot of the administrative work,
as well as serve as an advisor to
both the Women's Studies Student Association (WSSA) and
a new Women's Studies Honor
Society (Iota, Iota, Iota).
"It is ironic that the program
is offering so many events for
the campus, yet we receive so
little institutional support," said
Pershing.
This upcoming fall semester,
if the budget goes through after
the March election, the Women
Studies major will be cut from
fifteen courses to five.
"Budget cuts hit our department especially hard," Pershing
said. "Small and interdisciplinary programs suffer especially
because we don't have a number
of faculty to fall back on, and
we have to rely on other departments to offer classes relating to
our major."
According to CFA analyst
Andy Lyon's research brief,
if the Governor's budget goes

that, "access remains a high
priority for the administration.
However, given current fiscal
constraints, university access
cannot be guaranteed for as

Mayra Besosa, the CFA
union lecturer representative at
CSUSM, summed up a LaborManagement Council meeting
that took place on Feb. 3, where
it was said that the University
Budget Committee must work
with the University Planning
Committee to ensure that vertical cuts occur outside the
instructional budget. Besosa
explained that this would allow,
"instruction and program development to receive top priority."
In contrary to what was stated
at the meeting, the departments
are planning to apply their cuts
by reducing considerably or
eliminating their lecturer faculty.
To the professors that this
will affect, this means a loss
of a job. For the remaining
faculty this means an increased
workload, larger class sizes, and

through, in just two years the
CSU will have lost more than
half a billion dollars in funding.
These cuts are spread over all
CSU campuses; but are equal to
entirely closing the three largest
campuses (SDSU, CSU Long
Beach, and CSU Northridge),
resulting in 20,000 qualified students being turned away in the
upcoming academic year. 5,000
applicants were turned away
during the 2003/04 school year.
Lyon's statistics show that
there will be a total of $239.7
million in reduced state funding
for the CSU. This causes a large
increase in student fees by about
10 percent for undergraduates
and 40 percent for graduate
students.
"All of us—students, faculty,
staff and administrators—need
to be responsible citizens, active
members of the community, and
join the campaign to save our
university. If we fail, it will be
a lot harder in California to get a
college education," Besosa said.

�Bible marathon: 14 hours a day for four days last week
ByNICHOLE SULLIVAN
Pride StafiTWrter
"In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth": these were the words
that rang out in Arabic as a student read
from the Bible to begin a marathon last
week during which the Priority Christian
club read all 66 books of the Bible. The
marathon began with Genesis and ended
with Revelation and the words, "the grace
of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen."
Club members, students, staff and faculty
signed up for reading slots and read from 7:
00 in the morning through 9:00 in the evening Monday through Thursday last week
in front of Kellogg Library.
Ruth Bran, a volunteer collegiate minister said the event was in memory of Kay
Meredith, who past away last April. Meredith worked in the College of Education as
a credential specialist. She headed to China
with her husband for the third time but

juniors, read out of Acts on Thursday.
became ill with a rare disease and passed
away six weeks later,
"She was an inspiration and a light, she
touched lives wherever she went," said
Bran.
On the right hand corner of the table sat a
place card in Meredith's memory.
This was the club's third annual marathon. Bran said, "The purpose is to create
dialogue about the Bible and for people
to ask why we believe what we do. This
marathon was perfect timing for the movie
"The Passion.' People have come up and
asked us what we think about the movie and
even about Ash Wednesday and we have
been able to talk to them about that."
"The Bible is a best seller and the most
influential historical book out there," said
club officer Kimberly Lazenby. "And we
want to extend that invitation to read the
Bible to everyone."
Throughout the event, the Bible was
read in Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese,
Hebrew and Chinese.
"Local bookstores and churches donated
Bibles so the club could hand them out.
We easily gave away fifty Bibles. People
would just come up and ask for them,"
Bran said.
This was the first marathon involving
Priority Club President David Rollingson,
who said, "We have seen nothing but positive, there has been no ridicule, just thankyou's and asking why we are doing it."
Many people signed up from the College
of Education. Track and Field coach Steve
Scott, faculty advisor Dr. Karno Ng- Alston

Admissions office and many others came
and read in support of the event.
The North County Times wrote an
article about the event and the rainbow that
showed up on campus after the rainstorm
Monday morning. The rainbow came at the
same time a student was reading the passage about Noah's Ark.
Some readers said they just kept reading
and the time went by so fast they did not
even realize it. Rollingson said, "I read for
three hours, but my focus was on the Gospels and the Bible and I pray that the voice
of God is spread throughout this campus
because of this event."
Thursday night at 8:30 p.m., the event
ended and a celebration began. Kathy
Atuna, from Disabled Student Services
came and danced a Messianic type worship
dance while Kasandra Miller, the club's
administrative president, worshiped with
flags, and students sang praise and worship
music.
The club normally meets on Thursday
nights in room 240 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.,
and they extend the invitation to anyone
who wants to check out the club.

�Hello dolly
San Marcos manufacturer
maker of the RealDoll
ByERICMERCADO
Pride StafiTWriter
Located within less than a mile
of CSUSM, lies the headquarters
of the ultimate sex toy. These
aren't your ordinary blow-up
dolls.
Abyss Creations have created
"RealDoll," a life-like human version of any fantasy or desire; the
dolls look so real, the illusion may
even fool Houdini.
Abyss Creations have been producing and selling RealDoll, lifelike sex dolls, since 1996. A year
later, they received national attention on the Howard Stern show.
Stern applauds the dolls as, "Best
sex I ever had! I swear to God!"
Television audience members
may often spot one of the dolls in
the backdrop of his show.
From head to toe, customers are
allowed to customize their doll,
starting with the head type, body
type, hair color, hairstyle, eye
color and even getting as technical as make-up, fingernail color or
having the doll's tongue pierced.
Customers can build their ideal
physical significant other. These
dolls have a price tag far exceeding Barbie's, and at about six
grand a pop, the pink corvette and
inviting Skipper over for dinner,
might be out of the question.
Currently, there are nine bodies
and fourteen faces for the female
version of the doll. One male doll
does exist, but he costs one thousand dollars more than the female
model. Multiple varieties of the
male doll are in expansion for
later this year.
"These are the Bentleys of the
sex toy industry," Shelly Couture, media relations' manager
of Abyss Creations said. "Each
doll is fully articulated and solid,
undoubtedly a piece of art."
What makes RealDoll different
from your average blow-up doll at
F-Street is the quality. RealDolls
are made of silicone rubber, for a
texture that looks and feels similar to human skin. The actual silicon rubber is tasteless, odorless,
and a special compilation made
by Abyss Creations.
In an effort to make the feminine version more realistic and
authentic, RealDoll breasts are
made of a special formulation of
silicone that has a gelatinous consistency. Abyss Creations claim
the special silicone gel gives the
woman's breast a life-like look,
feel, and bounce. Using cured
silicone rubber, which is dry, the
breast will never leak.
Even the flexibility of the dolls
has enough mobility to put a yoga
instructor to shame. The joints are
made of steel and rotate up to one
hundred eighty degrees, so even
at the most intangible position,
the RealDoll remains firm yet
flexible.
Approximately one RealDoll
is sold a day worldwide, and
there isn't any particular type
of customer. Customers range

RealDoll face glancing seductively before her head is placed on a
body. All features of RealDolls are chosen from by the purchaser
designing it.
from people who appreciate art,
to scientists and teachers. Some
couples may choose the RealDoll
as an alternative to indulge and
enhance their sex lives.
Abyss Creations is an independent retailer, with no affiliations,
and customers must order directly
from the company. Although
one cannot buy these dolls at
a local novelty shop, the dolls
may be purchased online. The
website, www.realdoll.com, provides detailed information of the
RealDoll and offers information
on other such novelties, such as
Abyss' second biggest seller, the
"Booby Ball," a.k.a. the stress
ball.

employee of BBS manufacturing, seems
to disagree with the superiority and
quality of overseas decks compared to
the ones produced here in San Marcos,
California. "You basically eliminate jobs,
and the ones who benefit are the Chinese
and the manufacturers."
Overseas manufacturers claim the
savings will be passed on to avid skaters
and skate shops, however this is yet to
be seen, since greed and profits tend to
dictate actions in all aspects of business
Ryan Muldowney, also an employee of
BBS Manufacturing said, "We wouldn't
be a manufacturer, we would be a broker
to the Chinese."
Currently, Chop Chop Wood Shop
manufactures boards for Blind, Darkstar,
Enjoi, Almost and World Industries.
What is more deceptive is that these
overseas decks will not have the "Made in
China" imprint stamped on them.
The two federal agencies regulating
country of origin markings are the
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and
United States Customs (Customs). The
FTC regulates all goods claiming U.S.
origin, and Customs regulates all other
country of origin markings. Without
going into too much import export
jargon, there are tests which need to be
satisfied before you can proudly place the
Made in the U.S.A. logo on any product
The test states that goods "undergo a
substantial transformation if, as a result
of manufacturing and processing steps
in this country (US), the imported goods
lose their identity and are transformed
into new goods having a new name,
character; or use" so that no countryof-origin marking is required. In other
words, if you receive rubber form Brazil
and transform it into an American tire,
the change done in the United States is
substantial enough to no longer consider
it foreign. This loophole allows Chinese
decks to blend in with American made
decks since American made decks
did not need to label where they were
manufactured, it was already known.
This is not the case any longer.
Skateboarding is an American pastime,
a culture that other countries have
"You
basically
eliminate jobs, and
the ones who benefit
are the Chinese and
the manufacturers."
adopted. All over the world in places
like Brazil, London, France, Spain and
even China, the demand for American
manufactured decks is unequivocal.
The business model still applies to this
industry, and while the demand for
certain brands drives sales, lowering
the price of these brands will definitely
increase sales volume until every skater
in the park skates the same board.
Shoppers are sure to find the complete
deck with grip tape, trucks and wheels for
a deal at $24.99.
These changes in the industry could
translate into skate shops becoming
obsolete and ultimately being replaced
with
the
Wal-Mart
skateboard
department.

College sport scandals
JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer

How long have you been playing
golf, for fun, as well as competitively?
I have been playing golf since I was
about 10 years old (12 years now). I
played in several junior golf events,
but I mainly became serious about golf
during high school. When I was in high
school golf was not popular with girls
at all. There wasn't even a girl's team
at my high school. I played on a boy's
team. That was an experience of its
own. I always dreamed of playing on
the collegiate level but I never thought I
was good enough. But fortunately the
title IX law with equality for female
sports was issued the year I graduated,
so that was the year that CSUSM decided
to start a women's team. The head
coach, here at CSUSM contacted me and
wanted to meet me and have me come see
the school. I was offered a great athletic
golf scholarship and my collegiate career
started.
P hoto b y S arah Carlin/TZze Pride
and where does CSUSM typically play
or practice?
As a team we practice all the time. We
practice everyday. A lot of people do not
understand that being on a golf team and
playing collegiate sports is like working full
time as well. Here at CSUSM we have one
of the best practicing schedules anyone has
ever heard of. Our golf coaches work hard
to get us out on the golf course everyday
to prepare us for our tournaments. We
play four days a week. On Monday and
Wednesdays we play 18 holes at 6:30 in
the morning. Then we go to school in
the afternoons. On Tuesdays and Thursdays we play from 1 p.m. till dark, and
are expected to go to classes that morning. Every Friday we are in the gym at 7
a.m. for yoga, and then at the golf course
again to practice our short game for two

Sex. Drugs. Alcohol. Scandal. These
words have been all too common in topic
of conversation anytime college football
is brought up. Words that should not be
associated with college football are now,
sadly, a disgraceful part of the game.
Famous head coach of the Green Bay
Packers, Vince Lombardi, is known for
saying, "Winning isn't everything, it is
the only thing." College football programs
are taking Coach Lombardi's words to an
unprecedented level.
College football is a huge source of revenue for universities. Millions of dollars
can be earned by universities if the school
can build a competitive football program.
Therefore, football programs feel the
need to do whatever possible to acquire
the greatest talents around the world, even
if they break the rules to do so.
When high school football players
are being recruited by universities, the
young athletes go on recruitment trips
to the university. Recruitment trips are
designed for prospective student athletes
to get a feel for the campus and the football program. The high school athletes
are paired up with current members of the
football team who serve as hosts. The host
is given $30 to provide entertainment for
the young athlete. Typically, the two will
catch a movie or just play video games
throughout the night. However, movies
and video games are becoming less effective recruiting tools for the most sought
after athletes.
In a recent issue of Sports Illustrated,
current San Diego State University
(SDSU) running back Lynell Hamilton
told the story of his recruitment trip to the
University of Oregon. Hamilton said that
he was offered alcohol, marijuana, and sex
at parties that he was taken to during his
visit. Hamilton did not want to participate
in such activities so he decided to attend
SDSU. That incident shined a spotlight on
the University of Oregon (OU) and their
recruiting practices. The spotlight on OU
can not compare to the spotlight currently
on the University of Colorado (CU).
Recent accusations have surfaced that
many women have been raped by CU
football players. Three women in specific
have filed a lawsuit against CU, stating
that football players and recruits raped
them at a party they attended. This infor-
mation was made public several months
ago.
No action was taken against head coach
Gary Barnett or his program until two
weeks ago when another story surfaced.
In 1999, Katie Hnida became the first
female football player in CU history when
she was given the position of placekicker.
Hnida stated that she was harassed on
many occasions by her teammates. She
stated that several players exposed themselves to her. Hnida described a time
where a player even rubbed his penis
against her. She also said that she was
groped and endured vulgar language
throughout the season.
Hnida said that one night while at a
teammate's house while watching television a teammate got on top of her and
raped her.
Hnida has been criticized for not going
public with this news sooner. Hnida has
reiterated that she was afraid of what
might have happened to her since she was
not well liked by the team. She believed
that head coach Gary Barnett would
have dismissed her from the team since
she says he did not care for her. In recent
weeks, Gary Barnett has made his opinion well known on the topic of women in
men's sports.
Two weeks ago at a press conference,
Barnett stated, "It was obvious Katie
was not very good. She was awful. Katie
was not only a girl, she was terrible. OK?
There's no other way to say it."
Barnett was placed on paid leave for
the offensive comments and he will likely
lose his job.
Football traditionalists question what
a woman is doing playing in the sport of
men. I know of a time, way back in 1947,
when baseball traditionalists questioned
what a black man, by the name of Jackie
Robinson, was doing playing in the sport
of white men. It is without a doubt that
Hnida and Robinson were both trailblazers who felt like they were alone in the
world. Time will only tell if Hnida has a
similar effect that Robinson had.
Hnida is now the plackicker on the
University of New Mexico football team.
Last season she became the first woman
to score a point in the history of college
football. Hnida says she does not want to
press charges against CU or against the
former teammate that raped her. She just
hopes to prevent this from happening to
others.

�Be an American, g o vote
By JON RODLEY
Pride Staff Writer
Today is Election Day,
March 2, and hopefully you
have already voted. If not,
please go to the polls right
now and do so.
If you did not register to
vote, then your voice will
go unheard. Not voting
is dangerous in a country
where we depend on every
person, regardless of who
they are or where they come
from, to say what they want
by voting.
Please vote.
Up for grabs today
is
political
party
representation and several
propositions — propositions
55 through 58, prop A, prop
C, and the presidential
nominees for each party.
Ifyou have any last dôubts,
or want to refresh your
memory before you vote,
please go to the California
primary website at http:
/ /voterguide. s s.ca.gov.
There you will find all the
information you need to
make an educated vote.
Please vote.
In the past presidential
election, only half the
voting age actually voted.
The deadline to register
in California is two weeks
before Nov. 4.
If you don't know who to
vote for, MTV.com has all
kinds of great information
about the candidates, the
election process, and other
information about changing
your world. Check out
"Choose or Lose," and also
"Rock the Vote."
Oh and by the way,
one vote does make a
difference.
California, Oregon, Idaho,
Texas, and Washington all
became states by one vote.
Get registered and vote.
That's sad. That's scary.
It basically says that some
people, half the nation,
don't have what it takes to
be an American.
You do. If you went and
voted today, or will go later,
thank you. Your country
thanks you.
If you didn't register,
please do so today. Don't
wait, go register as soon as
you're done with school.
No you won't be able to
vote in this election, but
come November, you will.
Nov. 4, 2004 is the most
important of elections,
the presidential election.
It's worth the 100 mile daily drive
By KIMBERLY SCHLATTER
Pride Staff Writer
Every Tuesday and Thursday
morning, my alarm blasts a disturbing
noise. It is 6 a.m. in the morning and
I am beginning to think about my day
that lies ahead. Ifiguremy day might
seem a little brighter if I go back to
sleep for a while. After forty minutes
of extra rest, I push my snooze button
one last time. I get up and realize that
I have to be on the road in twenty
minutes to make it to my 8:30 am
class on time.
After my twenty-minute rush of
getting ready for school; I am finally
get into myfreezingcar. I can barely
see out my frosty windows, however
that is o.k..
I know my twenty to thirty minute
wait on the Balboa/Garnet, on-ramp
in Pacific Beach and my almost fiftymile drive to Cal State San Marcos
will give my car plenty of time to
warm up. As I wait in the morning
commute traffic, I wonder what
freeway would be quicker and less
congestive with traffic. To be certain
of my decision I tune into Jagger and
Kristi on 94.1 to check the traffic
report. Not to my surprise is 1-15
backed up with traffic.
So this morning I will be taking 1-5
north to the 78 east. The 1-5 freeway
is a longer route to school but from
previous commutes to San Marcos,
I know that my journey to school is
usually a quicker and smoother route.
As I reach Carlsbad, I notice that
the 78 east is just ahead. I cross my

fingers, hoping that there will be no
traffic in Vista. As I reach Vista, I see
no signs of traffic. Oh no, coming up
toward Melrose Avenue, cars appear
to be slowing down. Knowing my
luck this traffic will go on until
Rancho Santa Fe Road, possibly
making me late for my 8:30 a.m.
class. I check the time on my watch;
it is already 8:15 a.m. I hope I make
it butfromthe looks of the traffic, I do
not think I will be making it to class
on time.
The 78 is just so unpredictable.
Suddenly, the traffic begins to pick
up. Now I am almost to Twin Oaks
Valley Road. I have nine minutes
until myfirstclass starts. To my very
own surprise, I think I am going to
make it just in the nick of time.
As I drive into the Cal State San
Marcos, parking lot. I think to
myself, how worth the long, costly,
time consuming and chaotic the
drive up to Cal State San Marcos is.
After all, I am not the only person
that travels almost one hundred miles
round trip to get to school. I know a
handful of students at Cal State San
Marcos that drive the same, if not
more of a distance that I drive twice
a week.
Many students at Cal State San
Marcos drive the far distance four to
five times a week. It just proves that
sometimes people, including myself,
have to go that extra mile to attend a
university that offers the students, up
to date resources and a great faculty
that Cal State San Marcos gives us.

A good balance of both hard news and feature
articles
characteristic of any newspaper. The
Pride is no exceptioa in that w e want to provide
itfotmation and n<sws to the campus community,
to addition, we want to keep the readers eiitertained with interesting feature stories, coverage
of spotting events and review^ of misic, movies
and nightspots in the proxtoiity of the campus. I
feel j bat our last edition presented a strong balance of aft t fa^a^^
However, I have received some feedback in
which the reader expresses that we are not providing enough substance that speaks to the students. Here is a good point in which I would like
address; if anyone reading The Pride believes that
something is missing in these pages or that there
is something we need to be covering to more
depth, please let us know, My email address is
always at the bottom of my column. The Pride's
email address is pride@csusm.edu. Those two
outlets provide a direct avenue to The Pride, I am
always curious to know what the readers think
and open to suggestions on how we can make
The Pride better.
Another hot topic from the last issue came
from the letter to the editor regarding President
Haynes* salary and housing and car allowance.
While the information in that letter might startle
or upset some of yotii, please remember to think
critically about what you read there. Remember
that in education, title and position are rewarded»
As such, the status of being a university president
is not without its benefits. In other words, we
should not be appalled by these numbers when
we have not yet had an opportunity to quantify
the work that President Haynes has barely begun.
Haynes is only just a few weeks in to the role of
our president I think we should take the angle of
seeing if we get our money's worth before we say
we are paying too much.
That is all for this week, I am encouraged by
die responses that I am receiving and hope that
many more are follow. Let me know what you
really think of The Pride and what you want to
see more of or less of in these pages. My email is
doian005@csusm.edu.

"Uterine Vinegar" with Pat Payne
is a series of humorous performance
vignettes that confront the medical
industry's prejudices about mature
women and their bodies. In the stories, a pair of sibling protagonists
battle gynecologists, surgeons, selfhelp books, and feminist health centers, as they attempt to regain control
of their reproductive organs. The sisters look at the continued pathology of
natural female aging processes, and
how these feminine ideals are played
out in low income communities and
communities of color. Although the
subject matter is serious, the sisters'
decidedly offbeat approach to their
medical problems is delivered with a
healthy dose of sarcasm and macabre
imagination. Arts 111 at 6:00 p.m.

�'The Passion' a graphic depiction of Jesus' last days
By ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride StaffWriter
is when the Romans are whipping Jesus with
broken glass, at one point there is barely any
skin left on Jesus' back so the Romans turn
him over to strip the skin off his front side. In
this scene, Gibson clearly visualized for the
audience how brutal and inhuman Jesus' death
really was.
Gibson makes the film even more authentic
by having all the actors speak in the Aramaic,
Hebrew or Latin.
Whether you agree with the Gibson's story
or not; it is undoubtedly a work of art that provokes an intense emotional feeling in anyone
that views it.
This movie is not anti-Semitic. I am not a
theologian or an expert on Biblical Studies. At
the end of film, I personally felt no negative
feelings for those of the Jewish faith nor do I
think the film was trying to convey that particular message.
I woke up at least a dozen times last night.
The constant waking up was not due to
something I ate, or to go to the bathroom.
The disturbance I was feeling was brought
on by the film I had just seen earlier in the
evening, Mel Gibson's new film, "The Passion of the Christ."
The movie traces the last 12 hours of
Jesus' life, starting at the beginning of his
persecution and ending with his resurrection as it is portrayed in the New Testament.
Unlike the previous films on this subject,
the focus of Gibson's movie is Jesus' crucifixion, not his teachings. There are a few
scenes in which the movie flashes back to
Jesus' works; however, this is not the focus.
Mel Gibson uses graphic images to guide
the audience on this extremely emotional
journey. There are several scenes in which
Jesus is being beaten and abused. It would
be an understatement to say this movie is
"bloody." The photography combined with
exceptional sound places the audience right
there at the scene. At one point, I could feel
myself twitching every time I heard the
sound of a whip.
I do not recommend this film to anyone
under 17 without a parent or guardian present. The movie contains extremely violent
and graphic images; it was hard for even
me, a 27-year-old adult, to get them out of
my head. After the movie concluded, I was
shocked at the number of young teenagers
that were walking out of the theatre.
I give "The Passion of the Christ" 4stars. Gibson's passion for the movie shines
through every scene. One specific part of
the film, which I cannot get out of my head,

(Above and below) An all Native American cast acts out the violent history of
the Cahuilla Indians.
The history of the
Cahuilla Indians and
the extraordinary life of
Tribal leader Katherine
Siva Saubel on stage in
Escondido.
The CSUSM Arts and Lectures
Series is presenting an original play
written, directed and produced by
Leigh Podgorski, entitled "We Are Still
Here" at the California Center for the
Arts in Escondido at 6:30 p.m., Thurs.,
Mar. 4. Admission is f ree and the event
is open to the public.
"We Are Still Here" is the story of
Tribal Leader, Katherine Siva Saubel
and the Cahuilla Indians of Southern
California, told through original
Cahuilla legends, narratives and scenes
from Saubel's extraordinary life. Saubel
is a respected tribal elder and scholar
who has lectured internationally on
the Cahuilla language and culture. She
has served as executive director of the
oldest Indian-owned and run museum
and publishing house in North America
and was recently inducted into the
National Women's Hall of Fame.
The Cahuilla Indians have been
around more than 2,000 years. They
inhabited the area from Borrego to
Riverside, which is about 2,400 square
miles. They are generally referred to as
Mountain, Desert, and Pass Cahuillas.
They are described as hunters. The
men used bows and arrows, traps,
throwing sticks and clubs as weapons.
They hunted desert bighorn sheep,
deer, antelope, rabbit, and other small
mammals.
The women gathered seeds, mesquite
beans, pinion, acorns, cactus buds,
chia, harvested the seeds of palm trees
and many other plants. Not only did
they gather food but they were also
responsible for creating medicines and
shelter.
Their language of the Cahuillas is
Uto-Aztecan or Shoshonean stock
which is part of the same language
family also shared by the Pauite.
The Cahuilla located their camps
near water and food. They also made
baskets as well as pottery which they
learned to make from their neighbors
the Pueblos.
There may have been as many as
10,000 Cahuillas before contact with
the Europeans who in 1862 brought a
small pox epidemic; after the epidemic
only about 2,500 survived. Today there
are about 290 registered Cahuillas as
recorded by the tribal headquarters.
Podgorski has written other plays,
including "They Dance to the Sun," a
trilogy that follows a Ute Indian family
through a century of American history,
and "Windstorm," a one-act play
honoring Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, a
champion for the rights of the dying.

Student Health Services requests fee increase

Of the eighteen positions on the ballot
for the upcoming Associated Students
Inc. (ASI) election, five positions are
empty, as in no one is running, and of
the candidates running, none of them
have any opposition,
The election is to be held Monday,
March 22, with polls opening at 8 a.m.,
through March 25, polls closing at 5 p.m.
Along with electing ASI representatives,
voters will also see on the ballot two
referendum^; student health facilities fee
increase and student health services fee
increase.
Only one candidate is running for
each position in this election«
Campaign advertising
Erin Dalman, corporate secretary and
VP of communication for ASI, organized
advertisements through The Pride,
bulletin boards on campus, In-the-Loop
and on the dougar Channel, making
it aware to students that ASI elections
were in the not so distant future.
According to Crystal Folk, vice
president of finance, ASI spent a
rough estimate of about $100 toward
advertisement in The Pride, flyers,
and posters through Student Residential
Life.
.
'
Information, advertising and all forms
were made . available approximately
three weeks prior to candidates turning
in applications. Applications were due
to ASI by March 2, by 5 pint The next
day the applications were reviewed by
the election committee for grade and
eligibility requirements*
Write-In candidates
"People are encouraged to run as
write-in candidates," Dalman said.
She said that it is unfortunate only one
student is running for each position and
that this is an opportunity for students to
have not only a choice, but also a voice.
A write-in candidate is any student
that does not turn in an ASI application,
but chooses to campaign for a position,
and then has voters manually type in
their name on the ballot.
The option of being a write-in
candidate is not advertised on any
of ASI's posters or flyers. However,
Dalman explained that information will
be posted In-The-Loop, The Cougar
Channel and in students clubs, soon.

CSUSM's Student Health Services is
currently in a tug-of-war with rising health
care costs and a limited budget. This predicament leaves SHS no choice but to turn
the student population for more funding.
However, the student body has the right to
vote for or against the increased funding, so
knowing your money's potential may help
you decide which way you will vote.
In a recent interview, director of Student Health Services Dr. Karen Nicholson
addressed what each part of the budget is
paying for and why the assistance is so
imperative. "(The budget) consists of two
pots," she said. "The allowed state budget
pays for my salary and a small part of operations. Everything else, (such as) services,
pharmaceuticals...is paid by student fees."
The reason SHS is requesting fee
increases is that student enrollment is

Pharmicist Jospeh Jacob counts pills in the Student Health S ervices pharmacy,
Any prescription written by the clinic's doctors can be filled there.
As explained in part 1 of this story,
instructors will be taking reductions
in travel allocations, and will be
diminishing more resilient programs,
in an effort to protect fee increases and
the instructional quality available to
students.
Additionally, state Superintendent
of Education Jack

letter to Governor

urging
that

Dean Lilly Resigns
By TOM PFINGSTEN
Pride StaffWriter
Steve Lilly announced last week that he will
be stepping down as dean of the College of Education. Lilly has served at CSUSM for fourteen
years after being hired in 1990 as the founding
dean of the college of education.
Following closely on the heels of the Karen
Haynes' appointment as the new president of
CSUSM, this change in leadership has again
made headlines as school district administrators
across San Diego County struggle to make sense
of the drastic changes under way in California's
educational system.
Officials at CSUSM have decided to appoint
Mark Baldwin as interim dean. A professor at
CSUSM since 1995, Baldwin will serve for a
year beginning on July 1, when Lilly's resignation takes effect.

Yellow Ribbon Club M ind the stone'
By TOM PFINGSTEN
Pride News Editor
As one of Cal State San
Marcos' newest on-campus
organizations,
the Yellow
Ribbon Club hosted a fundraiser
at Cold Stone Creamery last
Thursday in an effort to raise
money and bolster awareness
of suicide among students at
CSUSM.
"We want people to be aware
that suicide exists, and that we
should be more open about
suicide, instead of pushing it
aside and hiding it," said Chris
Sanchez, head of CSUSM's
Yellow Ribbon chapter.
The Yellow Ribbon program,
which now operates on high
school and college campuses
across the United States, was
started by the Emee family,
whose son Michael committed
suicide.
At CSUSM, the club hopes to
raise awareness by sponsoring
campus events with speakers,
Sanchez said. They also hope
to purchase a banner soon, since
many students are still unaware
of the club's existence.
The Cold Stone fundraiser
was designed to aid a tight
budget, while allowing Yellow
Ribbon volunteers the chance to
work "behind the stone."
"It's a lot of fun," said
volunteer Tanja Schroeder,
working alongside Sanchez
and Lindsay Hilz. "I've only
been here for half an hour and
I've already been making cones
and s tuff... And the ones that I
burn, Lindsay and I eat them."

THE PRIDE
BUDGET CUTS
Tuesday, March 16,2004 3
In a February 11 interview, the college
representative for the Budget and
Long Range Planning Committee, and
mathematics education professor, Dr. Tom
Bennett adamantly expressed his wish for
"students to understand that the faculty
really is supporting their situation."
Bennett recently revealed a document
previously kept in confidence to evade
outside politicking that might corrupt
good decision making. The text primarily
outlined two principles unanimously agreed
upon at a December 15 University Planning
The latter of these two concessions
provides for new programs and expansion
of current offerings, in order to meet the
needs of the community, according to
Bennett's delineation.
Bennett emphasized that, despite budget
bickering, "There's still a central focus on
preserving what's best for students. I 'm
really happy to see that, because that's
not always the way things run — because
the students are not always at the table.
Everybody's here for the right reason. The
students' best interests are really at the
table."
He furthermore conveyed, "I can't think
of anybody at any of the meetings that I've
been to that stood in any opposition at all.
If they're here I hope that they go.
"It's very heartening to hear the way
things are going, even in bad times,"
Bennett added. Lilly seconded this notion,
saying that, "The good times always end
and the bad times always end, and probably
the most important thing is to keep our
morale up at all times, keeping our focus.
I 'm confident that this school cares about
the students and both quality and access of
instruction for students the most."
Bennett voiced his own encouragement
regarding his role as an educator, saying,
"I know that I can have a real impact as
a teacher. Because of your position on
campus, you can have a real impact on the
community."
FEE INCREASE
f rom page 1
Council meeting last year.
The two priorities highlighted "ideals that
were really held onto firmly as ideals that
need to be put above all others," according
to Bennett, and were recommended to the
University Budget Committee:
1. "The highest campus priority is to
provide quality instructional experiences
that allow students to proceed at their
preferred pace towards degree completion.
This priority means providing enough
in-class sections and other instructional
offerings to meet student needs."
2. "Implement the Academic Blueprint
at least in part through the establishment
of creative partnerships to provide external
and community support."
In addition, SHS would also be able to
offer dental and optometry screenings, but
not treatment.
Improvements would also be made in
orthopedic services and disease prevention. Any excess in collected funds would
also go toward current employees' benefits
plan.
SHS has devised other strategies for raising money other than targeting students,
Nicholson said. "We are in the process of
obtaining (a state funded program) called
Family Pack." The program would offer
STD screening and family planning programs. "This wouldn't just be for women,
but for men as well," she said.
The vote on the proposed Health Services
fee increase will take place March 22-25.
SHS sympathizes with the value of student
dollars, especially with the recent increase
in tuition, prompting their decision to let
students decide with a vote whether to pay
an increased health services fee.

dwindling. While CSUSM estimated the
number of full-time enrollment (FTE) to be
6,643 in fall of 2004, the actual FTE was
only 5,804. This leaves the student health
department short $29,365, with students
paying $35 per semester.
To appropriate the shortage, SHS has
requested students to vote on increasing
the health fee from $35 to $50 starting next
semester.
"The funds would first stabilize what
we are already doing," Dr. Nicholson
said. "Then we would be able to offer an
increase in our hours of operations for our
psychiatry department," which she said
was in high demand.
Nicholson continued, "We would also
be able to offer pharmacy hours during the
same time (as the clinic)."

OPINIONS
we should be covering. I agree that there
are limitless possibilities to explore; I just
want feedback letting me know we are
moving in the right directions.
However, this is where the readers must
get involved. I would like to see Thé Pride
in the hands of more students and faculty
for reasons of actual interest and not just
for criticism. But, I also need to know
what we are missing in order to suggest to
the editorial staff how we can improve. So,
I ask you, the readers of The Pride, what
do you want to know? What are our stories
missing or not covering in enough depth?
These are important questions that I hope
will spark thoughtful responses. My e-mail
is dolan005@csusm.edu. Thank you to all
who contacted me this week with thoughtful insights and comments.
Last week was a good week for reader
comments on The Pride. I received a lot
of positive feedback regarding the special
travel issue. One person commented to
me that this edition of The Pride marked
the first time that she had read an entire
issue from front to back without skipping
any story. I felt reluctantly pleased by the
statement and, of course, encouraged her
to read more of The Pride on other weeks
as well.
A more specific idea that I got from my
friend above was that she was interested in
the content of this special issue. Indeed,
that is something I want to explore in more

Encouraging more Write-in student candidates for ASI
Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) is getting ready to hold their annual election for
student government officers for the next
school year.
To advertise the need for candidates
for the election, ASI printed up flyers and
posters with the slogan, "Go For It." The
result of this highly motivating slogan is
an election where not one of the candidate
positions is being contested.
"We tried to encourage students. It's
unfortunate that the student body doesn't
care," said Erin Dalman, ASI vice president of communication.
We do not agree with Ms. Dalman, we
think that people need to be convinced
with passion and reason to get involved to
do something. Student government was
all about free hamburgers and enthralling
speeches by Eric Roper to get students
riled up about voting for various California propositions. Mr. Roper, where is our

government?
We want to encourage all students at
CSUSM to run for student government. In
case you have not seen the announcement
on ASI's website regarding "write-in" candidates, it is not too late for new candidates
to join the race.
There are so many great benefits and

incentives to ASI that we think the "Go For
It" slogan just doesn't make the grade.
First of all, board members get paid.
Yes, students are awarded scholarship
money for all elected offices. ASI officers
receive a minimum scholarship of $7,999
for president, $6,290 for vice presidents
and $800 for representatives.
Crystal Folk, ASI vice president of
finance, explained why ASI did not put
the scholarship information on advertising
posters, "We didn't want people to do it just
for the money."
Well we want students to run for the
money. We want a student who has
lots of ideas, ambition and passion, but just
can't seem to spare any time because of his
or her part-time job at The Gap. Now he
or she has a great opportunity to quit that
job and can finally make time to work on
making a difference at CSUSM.
Associated Students, Inc. offers students a wonderful opportunity to facilitate campus life at CSUSM. You get a
chance to coordinate functions, including
the annual masquerade ball and schedule
famous people to speak on campus, just to
name a few. The best incentive for being
an elected officer is having an excellent
experience to put on your resume.
Another great incentive of being an ASI
officer is having an office to hang out in on
campus. And if you are elected president
or vice president, you get your very own
personal office on campus. Just image ...
No more computer labs. No more using
your car as your locker. Not even all your
professors have this luxury.
Please become a write-in candidate. Do
not let these few people get all these benefits without doing some work for it.

In the corner of ARTS 340, the video
lab at CSUSM, there's a beaten down blue
couch that nobody is sitting in, and a funky
painted table stacked with magazines that
nobody is reading. That's because the students from Visual Arts (VSAR) 306 are too
busy editing footage for their projects to
think about lounging around.
VSAR 306, video in the community, is
an entry level class offered every spring
that gives students the opportunity to learn
about video production while working
within the community. The class is separated into groups and assigned a community partner, who they then collaborate with
to develop video projects significant to that
community.
Kristine Diekman, chair of visual and
performing arts, who teaches the class, said
that video in the community "makes a nice
bridge between San Marcos and the community."
While it teaches students about video
production, Diekman said, it also benefits
"people who need help in some way," and it
helps "the community members get something done" that they might not be able to
otherwise.

's Day origins
places to celebrate on this side of the *
By LORIANN SAMANO
Pride Staff Writer
In the celebration of St.
Patrick's Day, you could go to
Zip and Zack's for some green
beer, the corn beef and cabbage
or just to check out a band. In
other parts of the world, however,
there are other exciting ways to
celebrate St. Patty's day.
In Ireland, there is a week
long celebration of parades
and parties, and one might
also expect to experience the
excitement in Boston, where
many Irish descendants will be
drinking it up, and enjoying the
city's festivities of decorative
floats and other funfilledevents.
In honor of St. Patrick, here's
something to think about while
enjoying a green beer and
hanging out with your friends:
Why is this the day people
wear green and partake in liquid
pleasures?
St. Patrick was the patron
saint of Ireland and was born in
Wales about AD 385. At the age
of sixteen, he was captured by
marauders who kept him captive.
While enslaved, he grew closer
to God, and after six years of
enslavement, he escaped and
years later joined a monastery for
a period of twelve years. During
his years in the monastery,
he decided his calling was to
convert the pagans, of Ireland, to
Christianity.
It was not an easy task since his
superiors appointed St. Palladius
to Ireland, and two years later
Patrick, having adopted this
as his Christian name, was
appointed as second bishop to
Ireland, and St. Palladius was
transferred to Scotland.
Although
Patrick
was
successful at winning converts,
the Celtic druids did not agree
with him and locked him up
several times. He escaped several
times. He traveled throughout
Ireland establishing monasteries
across the country; as well
as schools and churches that
would aid in the conversion of
the Irish country to Christianity.
St. Patrick's mission lasted for
thirty years before he retired and
then died on March 17 in AD
461. That's the day we all know
as St. Patrick's Day and have
celebrated ever since.
There is also some interesting
folk lore to chat about being
that St. Patrick was believed to
raise the dead, oooh. There is
also a rumor that people said
he drove all the snakes from
Ireland, however, no snakes were
ever native to Ireland; snakes
might have been spoken of to
symbolize the conversions of the
pagans to Christianity. There's
also the leprechaun; that if one
startled him, he would take you
to a pot of gold. Then there's the
fact that corn beef and cabbage
was not a traditional dish in
Ireland, but only traditional to
the Irish immigrants who came
to America and could only afford
this type of food, which then
became an American Irish dish.
And then there's the shamrock.
St. Patrick was said to have used
this symbol to explain the holy
trinity to his followers. He used
the three-leafed shamrock in his
sermons to represent how the
Father, the Son, and the Holy
Sprit could all exist as separate
elements of the same entity. This
is when his followers adopted the
custom of wearing a shamrock
on his feast day.
St. Patrick's Day became a
custom in America in 1737,
in Boston, which was the first
year that St. Patrick's Day
was publicly celebrated in this
country.
If you're looking forward to
celebrating St. Patty's Day, you
might try North County where
you could stop by The Blvd,
in San Marcos to check out the
bands the Plug Uglys and Scotch
Green for five bucks. There's
also Tom Giblins, a traditional
Irish pub, in Carlsbad, for some
entertainment. Maybe you live
near the Belly up, in Solana
Beach, where they're having a
St. Patty's Day party with the
band Skelpin, playing traditional
Celtic music. Or, you could
journey down town, where
there will be a celebration in the
Gaslamp quarter with a musical
block party from 5 p.m. until
midnight with fifteen of your
favorite bars and restaurants.

The Vagina Monologues' to bring women's voices to CSUSM
By LAURA WHTTAKER
Pride StaffWriter
From tampons to orgasms,
from pubic hair to childbirth,
from genital mutilation to sex,
"The Vagina Monologues"
(TVM) delves into the most
coveted and misunderstood
foundations of the female
persona.
Tomorrow, March 17 at 7:30
p.m. in ARTS 240 students
can see a performance of this
intriguing show.
An original work by internationally acclaimed playwright
Eve Ensler, TVM is based on
Ensler's interviews with over
200 women who were willing to speak out about their
vaginas, sometimes with great
emotion and detail.
These testimonies range
from answers to questions
like, "If your vagina could
talk, what would it say in two
words?" to detailed re-enactments of women's experiences with sexual abuse and
torture.
The show is always changing as Ensler updates her work
every year based on her latest
interactions with women.
These declarations have
grown from a one-woman
show, to a globally executed
creation, usually performed
by three or more women.
The V-Day Oceanside
Troupe, organized by local
resident Cari Bacon, came
together to perform the controversially titled play last
month at the Star Theatre in
Oceanside for the second year
in a row. After being invited
to see the sold out show, student coordinator for women's
studies at CSUSM, Josh
Harris, encouraged the ladies
to perform their work on the
CSUSM campus as part of an
extensive series of events in
recognition of Women's History Month.
This time of the year is particularly significant for performances of TVM because from
it has sprung a movement
called V-Day that focuses on

raising awareness about violence against women, as well
as taking a proactive stand
toward eradicating it.
V-Day is celebrated on
February 14, and most performances of TVM are concentrated around this time
however, women who are
involved in V-Day are active
in their efforts all year long,
traveling to places like Juarez,
Cairo and Afghanistan in order
to help end violence against
women and girls everywhere.
According to Harris and
associate professor of women's studies Linda Pershing,
there have been numerous
calls from the community in
response to the advertisement
of TVM in local papers. The
public is not only interested
in coming to the performance
at CSUSM, they are worried
about getting tickets.
Bacon will be performing along with five or six
other women who were also
involved in the Oceanside performance of TVM, including
CSUSM student Cassandra
Collins.
Dynamite! Boss sounds of 60's style reggae
are exploding in the underground scene once
again and The Aggrolites are front and center
leading the come back under the Axe Records
label. Their new CD entitled "Dirty Reggae"
encompasses all the elements needed to brew up
a solid delivery of this vintage style reggae.
The Aggrolites got their name by fusing the
names of reggae greats the Aggrovators and the
Crystalites. Their sound is influenced by the
Hippy Boys, Tower Of Power, The Clash, The
Upsetters, War, Bleachers, Pioneers, The Who,
The Meters and Jackie Mittoo.
The members of this band have played in
such bands as the Rhythm Doctors, The Vessels,
See Spot, King Apparatus, Dub Street Rockers,
Kingston 10, and have opened for reggae legend
Prince Buster.
The wailing, skanking rhythm guitar of Brian
Dixon intertwined with the plucking leads of
Jesse Wagner laid over a heavy harmonizing
organ give a feel of being in Jamaica.
The vocals on this CD laid down by Wagner
are scratchy, grinding and reminiscent of the
high soulful sound of reggae greats such as
Desmond Decker, Laurel Atkins and Drakar
from The Adjusters.
Thefirstsong on the album, "Hot Spot," starts
out with an intricate drum line by Korey Horn
accompanied by cowbells. It is an audio assault
when the organ, drum and bass bring it on
home. J. Bonner, the bass player, plays punchy,
pounding bass lines that can be felt in the hip.
Wagner's lyrics encompass a combination
of updated nursery songs, romantic lyrics,
proverbs and street wisdom.
"The Stampede," another song on the
album, starts out with an announcement that
the stampede is coming. This musical number
is a well balanced blend of galloping skank,
plucking guitar and heavy organ played by
Roger Rivas together with an up tempo tight
drum and bass, sprinkled with an in your face
trombone section.
"This aint no disco doing the funk, this aint
no hip hop shake your rump," are the lyrics in
another track sure to make you want to cut the
rug, titled "Pop the Trunk."
"We were trying to come up with song ideas
and Deston Berry (Hepcat) suggested 'pop the
trunk' since it's something we always ask our
friends to do, so we came up with T op the
Trunk,'" Wagner said.
This isn't the ordinary overproduced MTV
reggae you're used to, this is soul and though
it won't make the Billboard's top ten, it is great.
You'll need a Cliff bar to groove through this
whole CD.
If you love reggae, ska, or rock steady
then this is truly an album your collection
shouldn't be without. You can pick this
album up at www.theaggrolites.com or at
www.axerecords.com also at Lou's Records and
other great music shops. Enjoy.

Broken water valve causesfirein
Academic Hall
By ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride StaffWriter
By JONATHAN RODLEY
Pride StaffWriter
The frequent routine of repairing busted
water pipes at campus sparked a cause for alarm
Wednesday, when flooding shorted circuits in
Academic Hall igniting a fire.
University Police evacuated the building
and called for firefighters to come, nobody was
hurt.
This is the second time that broken water
pipes have caused a closure at Academic Hall,
the largest classroom building. In spring 2003,
part of the building closed due to flooding.
At a school with miles of water and electrical
valves, there are of thousands of places where
systems can fail, said Chuck Walden, director of
facilities services.
Wliile his crew repaired the valve, they saw
sparks inside the wall of the men's third floor
bathroom. To get to the glow, they cut a hole in
the wall and found a fire.
By that time, the heavy smell of burnt rubber

The California State University system
(CSU) will experience a 20 percent
decrease in state support j n two years if
Gov. Schwarzenegger's proposed budget is
approved by the Legislature this summer.
The proposed budget will cut approximately $240 million from the CSU and
would, once again, increase student fees.
The California Faculty Association
(CFA) has produced a summary analysis
of how the proposed budget cuts will affect
the CSU. Included in the summary is the
impact on student fees and financial aid.
The CFA's primary concerns are the
decreasing enrollment, elimination of student success programs, student - teacher
ratio, and the likely loss of teachers,
courses, and/or library services.
"The last thing California can afford
right now is a cut to the CSU/' said John
Travis, CFA president and a government
professor at Humboldt State University.
State Treasurer Phil Angelides will
start visiting CSU campuses Jan 20 to call
attention to the proposed budget and how it
will affect the CSU system and the impact
it will have on California's economy.
"The CSU infuses billions each year
into the California economy and produces
tens of thousands of educated and productive workers each y ear/' said Travis.

ceremonies
are
scheduled
for Friday, March 5, at noon, and will host a
number of speakers and performing artists.
"We welcome students to come in and explore
on their own," said Melanie Chu, outreach and
multicultural librarian. "We've got maps at the
information kiosk, when you walk into the front,
and we also have maps at the research help desk."
Chu added that a more detailed map of the new
library can be found on the research webpage.
Class tours can be arranged by contacting the department librarian, or individuals can tag along on another
tour. Those interested can contact either Chu, at
extension 4378, or Gabriela Sonntag, coordinator,
information literacy program, at extension 4356.
Chu said that there are different tours happening, and
clubs, committees, or individuals should contact her.
The library is 200,000 square feet, hosts over
300 new computers, nearly 30 study rooms
and 250,000 books.
Starbucks can be found
on the third floor, left of the main entrance.

"It is intentionally vague
so there is a lot of flexibility,"
said Eric Roper, ASI vice
president of external affairs.
The ASI support for an environmental class requirement is
only one step to getting the proposed requirement to be mandated by the administration. The
Environmental Action Group
(EAG) has been gathering support for the requirement by getting signatures around campus.
"We have close to 600 signatures so far," said Didi Lund, ASI
arts & science representative.
The next step for the environmental requirement will be for
the Academic Senate to approve
it. The Academic Senate is made
up of faculty that evaluates and
recommends new academic matters to the President of CSUSM.
"The EAG will continue to collect signatures to influence the
Academic Senate," Roper said.

The CSUSM nursing program, set to
be operational by fall 2006, has received
a $350,000 federal appropriation thanks
to Congressman Randy Cunningham
(R-San Diego), a member of the House
Appropriations Committee. The funds
are part of the FY 2004 Omnibus Appropriation bill passed by the U.S. Senate on
Jan. 2 2,2004.
"I am proud to support the community
coalition established at Cal State San
Marcos to address San Diego County's
nursing shortage by providing this
$350,000 in federal funding through the
FY2004 Omnibus Appropriations Act,"
Cunningham said.
The money was requested by CSUSM
to support the expenses of developing a
nursing bachelor's degree program. If
all goes as planned, by 2008 the first
graduates of the program will be able to
enter the workforce helping to alleviate
local and national need for health care
professionals.
"As in hospitals all across the country,
patients are facing longer waits, postponed surgeries, and fewer available
staffed beds as a result of the nursing
shortage. This program will train a
new generation of nurses to serve our
region," Cunningham said.

Less students are
accepted to CSUSM
for spring 2004
By NICOLE SULLIVAN
Pride StaffWriter
Due to state budget cuts, Cal State
Marcos didn't accept as many applicants
for spring 2004 as last semester. There
will be 175 less students accepted compared to Spring 2003, Campus officials
say that the controls have been effective
in limiting enrollment. Although, there
was a 45 percent increase in applicants to
CSUSM from fall of last year, registration rates have dropped. "The demand
is clearly there," said Francine Martinez,
vice president of Student Affairs. "But
as the state reduces our funding, we are
forced to limit admissions."

What do you think
about Mars?
By SARAH CARLIN
Pride StaffWriter
As
this
semester's
features editor, and I hope
to incorporate national and
international events into
The Pride. This semester in
the features section, we will
host a column in which The
Pride, along with the help of
its readerships will explore
national and international
events.
This week the topic of
discussion deals with Hie
exploration of Mars.
I, who am personally
skeptic
of
my
own
generation, was pleasantly
surprised by the careful
thoughts and insights of
the fellow students I talked
with.
I have and always will,
thought it important that we
know what each other think
about issues of importance.
We live in important times,
as will those who live after
us.
If you have an opinion
you wish to express, or an
event you would like to
explore with us, e-mail the
pride@csusm.edu (ATTN:
University Voice).
Please enjoy knowing
this semester, though our
column, what we learn from
you.
Brett Gladys
Math major
Senior
What kind of benefits
do you foresee with space
exploration?
I think, I mean, what the
benefits of it are a greater
understanding of the world
we live in. It is a lot better
to have scientific backing
for what you believe than to
believe blindly in something.
To have some sort of facts to
back things up is sort of
nice.
Do you think that
exploration on Mars is
important? Why or why
not?
I think if life somehow
evolved to some extent on
another planet, it would help
us understand how it evolved
on ours and if it evolved a
different way. Maybe not
using DNA the way ours
is. It would be interesting
and kind of lead us in the
right direction of, and
understanding of how we
came to be.
Do you think there are
any political implications
with exploration on mars?
I am not so sure about the
politics of Mars; the moon on
the other hand is I think the
proverbial lifting of the leg
and pissing on everything to
mark your territory.
General comments?
I think there are unseen
advantages. I think that the
Galileo was the satellite that
saw the comet that hit Jupiter
and we didn't know that was
going to happen when we
sent it out there. There could
be unexpected benefits that
we don't know about. I'm
sure that political motives
drive billions of billions
of billions of dollars being
spent, but there are other
advantages there.
Amber Davis
Literature and Writing
Studies major
Senior
What kind of benefits
do you foresee with space
exploration?
I think it put people's
minds to rest to have actual
proof instead of just theories
like we always had. Theories
that the world was round, but
we never actually proved
it until we went to space.
We've only known for fact
that the world is round for
the past sixty years, right?
Maybe we had theories
about Mars and other places
like that, but now we can
maybe put people's minds
to rest, and have actual proof
and data.
Do you think that
exploration on Mars is
important? Why or why
not?
I think it is another place
for man to go. It is the
next natural place for us to
go besides further into the
ocean. We've seen what
there is on land and earth, so
why not go further?
Do you think there are
any political implications
with exploration on Mars?
Maybe so that we can say
that we were the first ones to
do it. Wasn't it the United
States and Russia that had
the race to get to the moon
first? The same type of
thing. Feel superior to get
there first.
General comments?
I think probably money
could be spent other places,
put to better use. Conquering
Mars and searching on
Mars isn't going to solve
any problems that we have.
Did it really help anything?
There are other things we
could be doing. The whole
education thing, and budget
cuts, and people are going to
Mars. It's kind of funny.

Misadventures in the new
Kellogg Library
By SARAH CARLIN
Pride StaffWriter
It's spacious, has lots of windows
and a great view. No, this isn't the
description of a seaside resort available for leasing in La Jolla, but the
new technologically savvy Kellogg
Library.
Isn't it the best when you start
a new semester and there is a new
building?
This semester all of us are being
greeted with a new library. The new
Kellogg library is 200,000 square
feet of caffeinated f un and adventure.
Last Tuesday, January 20, the
library opened its doors to the
campus community. Checking out
the new library was the first thing I
did when I arrived on campus.
Construction dust continues to
settle during the library's first week
of being open, and temporary signs
guide students where and where not
to go. Some of the signs are a little
confusing, not everything is up and
running and elevator access is a
little barring.
Taking the elevator to the first
floor is sort of interesting. You step
off of the blue back-dropped elevator into what feels like a psychiatric
wing of a hospital. It smells of linoleum glue and the fluorescent lights
hum. There aren't any windows
here and there isn't much to see
other than the writing center, math
lab and classrooms full of students,
lots of students.
We went up to the second floor
and meandered our way through
the books and computer lab, getting
a bit lost when we reached the deadended hallways which are home to
all of the new, not-yet-completed,
conference rooms. We found our
way out though, not to worry, and
then, there it was, what I really
wanted to find most of all—the
media library. I owe some late fees
at the video store in my town, so I
have been hesitant to go in for a
while. It is always nice to go where
the rentals are free and you keep the
video for a week.
After feeding my film fix, my
friend and I got on the elevator to
take us to the third floor; the doors
began to close when a man hopped
in. He saw that we had already
pressed the third floor button and
relaxed against the cloth-covered
wall of the elevator. We were all
waiting for the doors to shut and
begin moving up to the next floor.
The doors began closing then
reopening. A woman in her early
twenties entered the elevator.
She pressed the button for the
first floor.
We smiled.
"Is this the first floor?" asked the
woman to the man.
"No, no, I think this is the second
floor. The main entrance is on the

Campus police, and programs offered
By NICOLE SULLIVAN
Pride StaffWriter
Officer Carla Kayyon hopes that
in the third week of February she
can host a date rape and sexual
assault class at the University
Village Apartments or the Field
house. She wants the class to be
comfortable and with food and a
discussion type setting and is open
to everyone. Officer Kayyon was
hired in March and is excited to
see the things that will take place
on campus.
Last semester the university
police offered two Rape Aggression
Defense (RAD) workshops which
teach women about rape awareness,
prevention and self defense tactics.
The University police want to
offer more RAD workshops this
semester.
This spring the university police
wants to have a DUI booth with
sight impaired goggles and sobriety
tests.
Chief Schulteis said, "We have
two goals here as the campus
police. One, is to protect the
community by enforcing the law
and keeping the education process
uninterrupted. And, two, we want
to teach the community how to
better protect themselves from
crime and hazards."
Chief Schulteis also said that
he wants more officers to get
specialization certificates, which
can aid the community about
awareness.
More workshops like RAD, date
rape and sexual assault, alcohol
awareness programs and selfdefense workshops will be offered.
Campus police also offers an
escort service.
A Community
Service Officer (CSO), or an officer,
will assist anyone to their car by
simply calling extension 4567 at
any one of the blue emergency
phones located on campus.
The escort service is there for
anyone who needs it. Whether
you're feeling ill, afraid to walk out
to your car late at night or locked
your keys in the car, a CSO or
officer will be there to escort.
\Officer Alex Mohn said, "We
want to provide a better learning
environment for the students and
we want them to be able to come
to school and not feel threatened.
We don't want them to be afraid to
call us and ask for an escort service.
We want everyone to know that we
are here to help the students and
faculty."

thirdfloor,"said the man.
The woman said, "God, I
was just asking a question."
"Well, uh, I mean, uh, I
think that the first floor is
down and we are going to
the third floor, which is the
main level. Maybe that is
the level you want." His
tone was not sarcastic. He
was probably being more
helpful to someone who has
serious anger issues than he
needed to be.
And then we all stood
there in uncomfortable
silence.
I looked over at my friend
and gave him the 'she is a
psycho' face. He agreed. I
then looked over and gave
the man the same look. He
responded by signaling to
me with the 'I have no idea
what just happened here'
look.
We all stood there in
uncomfortable silence.
We all arrived on the third
floor.
"I was just asking a fucking question. You fucking
dick," said the woman. She
seemed sort of flustered
and tripped a little over the
threshold as she exited.
"I don't know what I said,"
said the man.
"Hell if I know," I said.
"But I know a certain someone who needs to not do lots
of drugs before coming to
school."
We all had a good chuckle
and walked off in separate
directions.
The woman on the elevator seemed frustrated. I
can only assume she was
frustrated because she was
lost and not because of the
answer she got to her question.
P ILI© OR FIRST FLOOR:
Maybe she was lost
because not all posted in the
' RESTROOMS
library are perfectly clear,
yet. My friend and I prior
to getting on the elevator
were lost ourselves. Even
a staff member we saw on
the asylum-esque first floor
warned us in passing not to
get lost because it was easy
to do. Her frustration does
not, however excuse her
bitchy demeanor.

Chancellor Reed concerned about Gov. Schwarzenegger's
proposed budget for the CSU
By Cal St Univ Chancellor
CHARLES B. REED
Welcome to a new term at the California State University. I hope everyone had
good holidays and that you are looking
forward to your new classes. There have
been significant developments on the state
budget front, and I want to take this opportunity to bring you up to date on what we
know about the CSU budget.
As Governor Schwarzenegger's proposal makes its way through legislative
hearings, we will need all of your help
communicating with legislators to make
sure that adequate funding is available so
that the CSU can continue to offer highquality education to all of its 409,000
students.
The governor proposed cutting $240
million or 9 percent from the California
State University system for the 2004-05
fiscal year. This will potentially limit
student access by approximately 20,000
students if the cuts are implemented as
proposed. This new cut, combined with
the 2003-04 General Fund budget cut of the critical role we play in the state's eco$531 million, means that our budget has nomic health.

I also am concerned about the budget's
impact on funding for programs including
EOP and academic preparation. These
have been very successful programs for
students who otherwise may not have had
the opportunity to attend a CSU campus.
We will work very hard to ensure that
these funds are not eliminated.

the CSU's 2004-05 budget, please visit

The state budget crisis has created significant challenges for the CSU. We are
focused on ensuring that our enrolled students get the courses they need to graduate. And, the CSU remains committed
to its mission of providing a high-quality, accessible higher education for our
students. To continue to do so, we need
all 409,000 students and 44,000 faculty
and staff to convey a simple fact: that the
CSU is working for California. We need
everyone to talk about what a CSU education means, and what would happen if
quality, access and affordability disappear
from the California State University. We
cannot let that happen.

A glass of sangría, the sound of the Brazilian drum, and the décor and ambiance
of a typical Euro-Latin club makes it seem
as if you are actually there, in Brazil. What
better way to spend a Sunday night than to
samba dancing at Café Sevilla?
With good company at my side, my boyfriend Eric, and I tried to break the Sunday
night monotony so we ventured off to the
Gaslamp district downtown. There, we
found ourselves at Café Sevilla on Fourth
Avenue. Perhaps it was the Spanish tapas
that we recently tasted in Sevilla's dining
room that lured us back.
We paid a $7
cover fee upon entering the club. Dance
lessons had already started but we decided
to join the fun, We could not help but laugh
at the others and ourselves as we imitated a
lady wearing a pink halter and bells on her
hips. Moving to the rhythm twice as fast
as most modern dance moves, we tried our
best to catch on to the samba choreography.
Believe it or not, there is a proper way to
shake your hips, and the variations of hip
shaking are what make the samba come
alive. It is possible that the instructor's
bells contributed to the liveliness as well.
The fast paced, Latin soundtrack that we
followed was very conducive to making the
dance come alive. After about twenty minutes we were already improvising the steps
and adding our own spice to the dance.
It was refreshing to see that the others
who surrounded us came in all different
shapes, sizes, and levels of experience and
confidence. An older gentleman brought
his stuff with absolutely no concern for
some comic relief with his bravado. Oppothe beat or particular style of the music.

girls looked as if they were rehearsing for
the band to play. There is nothing like sangria, a refreshing blend of vino rojo, berries
and apples, to compliment the evening.
To our surprise, the band consisted of
seven drummers. What kind of band is
this without a keyboard, guitar, trumpet, or
some type of instrumental variation?
We waited in suspense as we began to
doubt Brazilian night and wonder if we
came to the club on the wrong night. The
music did not sound like the upbeat Latin
tune that we had heard on the soundtrack
to "Woman on Top." It was a strange sort
of culture shock that came over us, as we
began to hear what was so unfamiliar. It
sounded like a tribal dance. Evidently,
the others around us felt the same way, as
nobody except for the goofy old man and
an unusually ecstatic lady were dancing.
After the first couple of songs, the beat
of the drum began to grow on us, as we
found our way shaking across the floor,
with about thirty to forty others. With the
exception of a couple of cocktail sessions
in between, Eric and I found it difficult to
refrain from dancing. We agreed that it had
truly been an enjoyable experience. No, it
was not the typical samba music that we
followed in the previous hour, or the sound
and movement of Carmen Electra, but we
experienced a Brazilian club without actually purchasing a plane ticket. Now, every
Sunday night isfilledwith a touch of "little
Brazil."

Electronic Theater.
Animation has been a medium
often reserved for the fantastical stories of inhuman creatures.
"Eternal Gaze" is different. This
film chronicles the life of a real
man.
Chen's film pays homage to
Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966)
a brilliant twentieth century
surrealist sculptor, painter and
draftsman who never received the
acclaim of his contemporaries.
In a statement Chen said, "With
careful attention to historical
facts and details, the works of
art featured in this film are nearexact digital reproductions from
Giacometti's lifework.. .But most
of all, 'Eternal Gaze' is a heartfelt
story and a loving tribute to one of
the greatest but least recognized
artists of our time."
Giacometti, like many artists,
suffered from a tormented mind.
It gave him the inspiration and
talent to create. At the same time,
it frustrated him to the point of
destroying his art when he felt he
could not achieve his artistic
vision.
While giving us a look
into the artist's mind and
environment, "Eternal Gaze"
illustrates the passionate relationship between the creator
and his creation. Giacometti's
sculptures were his love. In
this film Chen givQS those
sculptures the life they need to
love him back.
For an opportunity to
learn from Chen, students,
staff and faculty should
contact Kristine Diekman
at kdiekman@csusm.edu to
reserve a seat in the workshops
he will be hosting. Chen will
be sharing his knowledge of
story and character development, storyboarding and how
to study human movement in
order to animate it. He will

Up to 235 dorm students must
leave the UVA for new freshmen
By Adrian Cundiff
Pride StafiTWriter
The University Village
Apartments (UVA) recently
posted the reapplication process for students who live in
the dorms, which may leave
them out in the cold for the
2004/2005 school year.
The reapplication process
will include a lottery drawing
of names that will guarantee
rooms for only 125 students
out of 460 currently living
there. Other students who did
not win the lottery and want to
continue living in the UVA are
going to have to wait till May
1 to find out if they will have
a place to live the next school
year.
According to Director of the
UVA Heather Singer, "Priority is being given to transfer
students as opposed to freshman." Currently, there are 82
percent freshmen living in the
dorms. She said that the next
year there will be 55 percent
freshmen living in the dorms
giving it a different atmosphere.
The lottery drawing has
stirred up mixed reactions
amongst students who currently live in the dorms.
Although business major Lupe
Soto is not going to be affected
by the lottery drawing he is
not buying into the lottery
drawing. According to Soto,
"Students that live here should
have priority." Priority should
also be given to students that
apply to live at the UVA early.
Freshman
Michelle
Lansinger does not agree.
Although she is not going to be
affected by the lottery drawing
since she is not going to reapply next semester she thinks
that the plan is fair since it
gives students the opportunity
to stay at the UVA.

OMBUDSMAN'S NOTES
By MCHASL DOLAN
Pride Ombudsman
There is an air of excitement surrounding Cal State San Marcos as classes begin
for the spring 2004 semester, but all is
not well. However, before we get into the
ugliness of the new uncertainty, I would
like to welcome back all of you who are
returning for another semester on our
h ill
For those who are joining us for the
first time this semester* welcome and do
not be intimidated. It is my understanding
from some of the new students that I have
spoke to that the orientation process was
less than reassuring. To that I say relax,
but also prepare. Thefirstsemester here is
by far the worst for it is both demanding
and gut wrenching. I would suggest to all
you first timers not to get discouraged: it
will get easier with time.
For those who are not familiar with the
position of ombudsman, I will give you a
quick background. I write for the paper as
a student like all the other Pride reporters, photographers and editors. What the
ombudsman does precisely is provide a
liaison for the readers to sift through and
respond complaints and criticisms regarding the articles in The Pride. Therefore,
g t^r P ride
I encourage readers to e-mail me with
their thoughts or condemnations for The
Pride, to which I respond independently
based solely on the validity of the claim.
In other words, the ombudsman is like the
conscience of The Pride.
As for the new uncertainty, that could
be the slogan for the future of the CSU
system. Certainly changes are in our
future with the proposals made by Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger. These changes
are at the best uncertain and at the worst
will resonate grimly through the halls of
our campus from class cancellations and
overcrowded classrooms to the elimination of programs and services for the students. The student population must voice
their opinion on the proposed fee hikes
and budget cuts to the CSU for this is a
matter that cannot be thrown to the side.
Gov Schwarzenegger's proposal will
be a constant theme throughout the
semester, please e-mail me and let me
know your thoughts on his ideas. Also,
e-mail me your thoughts on this edition of The Pride. My e-mail address is

CSU ChanceUor:
budget is "not a

By KYLE OTTO
Pride StaffWriter
In a teleconference

Wednesday,
California
State University Chancellor
Charles B. Reed
discussed Gov.
S chwarzenegger's proposed
2004-05 budget CSU Chancelor
cuts, which may Charles B. Reed
result in student
fee increases, enrollment reductions, and elimination of EOP and other outreach programs.
The Governor's new proposal provides for a
$240 million net cut for the CSU system. On
top of the current year, this will result in a $568
million, or approximately 20 percent, budget
reduction, Chancellor Reed said.
In a Board of Trustees meeting last Thursday,
the Chancellor announced "an evolving tentative plan," which he summarized by saying,
"Because cuts over two to three years are so
big, we can no longer continue to serve as many

Drawn by the promise of free barbecued
hamburgers and hot dogs, over a hundred students sat on the steps or stood in line for food
while Haynes delivered her inaugural speech.
"You are the reason for this university's existence," she told the crowd beforefieldingquestions and comments pertaining to her office.
The barbecue marked the second in two

Roper. "On her first 'real day' on campus, she

Budget cuts are likely to impact
CSUSM once again as Governor
Schwarzenegger suggestsr removing
the
Educational
Opportunity
Program from California State
University campuses.
The EOP has been a part of the
CSU for almost 35 years, and has
been providing the opportunity
for low income, first generation,
and underrepresented students to
complete a higher level of education.
Providing
free
counseling,
academic workshops, supplemental
instruction, financial grants, and
many other student services, the
EOP serves almost 500 students on
the CSUSM campus.
The people here are great, I have
received help financially, and the
counselors here are very supportive
in our achievement and success,
said Janet Perez, a first generation
college student. Perez is one of
497 students at CSUSM who are
now receiving help from the Equal
Opportunity Program (EOP).
The governor's proposed cuts
will eliminate $36 million
dollars from the CSU budget across
23 campuses and impact thousands
of students, many of whom may
only have one or two semesters of
schooling left. CSUSM receives
approximately $500,000 annually
to keep this program running. The
governor's proposed budget would
cut about $74 million dollars from
the CSU and $52 million from
student outreach programs in
2004-2005, leaving the EOP, with
an entire budget of $37 million,
completely gone.
The results of the EOP program
at CSUSM have been remarkable,
financially and academically. Out
of the 309 EOP grants offered,
all were awarded. In addition,
EOP first-year student retention
rates range from the 90 percentile,
while regulatory CSUSM-admitted
first-time freshman only hit a 70.5
percent retention rate.
The program not only assists
EOP students financially, but it also
provides personal and academic
counselors. Students like Janet
Perez may use the retention center,
which provides a mini computer
lab, f ree printing for its students
and lent-out laptops for students
Proposition 56
would modify
budget process
By KEVIN BRABEC
Pride StaffWriter
Proposition 56 is on the March 2004 ballot in
order to change the requirements of the California budget-making process by modifying the^
state constitution. The areas iiivolved are the
state's budget and budget-related taxes.
If passed, the proposition would decrease the
. current two-thirds (67 percent) approval requirement to 55 percent approval f rom both houses
of the legislation. In other words, it would take
fewer votes on the proposed budget plan to get it
passed on to the next level. California is one of
three states — the others being Rhode Island and
Arkansas — that have a two-thirds requirement
in place.
Currently, if both houses of the legislature
approve the proposed budget by two-thirds or
mòre, the plan is then forwarded on to the governor for his approval. At that point it is up to the
governor to either approve it, thus putting it in to
affect, or to require changes and resubmission at
a later date. The governor has to sign a budget for
it to be put into affect, giving him the ultimate
say on the proposed budget. This leads into one
of the proposition's changes.

when they need them.
"Our goal at EOP is to support our
students in any way we can, said Lorena
Meza, Director of Student Support Services
and the Educational Opportunity Program.
We thrive on long term student success
through university access providing
academic advising and educational
counseling, and offering academic support.
That's why so many of our students are
successful."
Meza, who is a product of the EOP
herself, shared some insight on the cuts
that may occur as early as June of this
year. "The keystones of the CSU were
access and affordability, and now they are
targeting the neediest programs. People
often wonder why these students are
getting free photocopies, personalized
counseling, mid-semester evaluations and
grants, but they don't realize that many of
these students barely have any food to eat
at home."

The EOP, which does not target specific
ethnicities, age groups, or gender groups,
solely bases the student's eligibility on
total annual income. A student living as
an independent who makes no more than
$9,900 annually would be eligible for these
services and grants from the EOP. The
grants range from $400-$1000, and help
the students buy books, bus passes, and
other necessities.

students as we have been." The Chancellor proposed to the Board a 5 percent, or
approximately 20,000-student, enrollment
reduction plan uniformly among all 23
CSU campuses.
Enrollment reductions must be "immediately implemented," explained the Chancellor, "Because the application period
ended at the end of November. Students
are waiting to hear about being admitted
to CSU."
About 2 percent of the 5 percent reduction will be able to attend a community college in order to complete 60 hours of lower
GE requirements. Upon completion of an
AA degree, "we would guarantee them that
they could get into a CSU," stated Chancellor Reed. He further explained that this
proposed measure would save the CSU
system approximately $100 million.
The Governor's Office made four recommendations in lieu of the proposed budget
cuts:
First, the new budget set the following
fee structure: a 10 percent fee increase
for undergraduate students, 40 percent
for graduate students, and a 20 percent
increase for non-residents, on top of other
fees. Chancellor Reed expressed agreement with the Governor's policy recommendations for "a more stable fee policy."
"He has recommended a cap on fees based
upon personal income growth," said Chancellor Reed.
Second, the Governor recommended
CSU schools redirect 10 percent, or 4,000
first-time freshmen to community colleges.
Criteria have not yet been established for
"some fair and equitable basis" for determining which freshmen would be affected,
the Chancellor admitted, although he
affirmed, "we're going to really look hard
about how we can do that."
Third, Chancellor Reed expressed support for the Governor's proposed "Excess
.Credit Hour Policy," according to which
students taking more than 10 percent
above their required units for graduation
would be charged " full price." As a result,
students who now pay about 20 percent of
the cost for education, or about $2,000,
would pay about $10,000 in tuition. The
Chancellor noted, "We can work on that.
We think the policy ought to be about fif-
teen percent. Academic advising, course
offerings need to be a lot clearer. Maybe
we would only allow students to change
their major once."
Fourth, the Governor recommended
eliminating EOP (Education Opportunity
Program) and outreach programs, with
which the Chancellor summarily disagreed, stating that, "We can prove that
students that participated in EOP programs graduate at about a thirty percent
rate better than students that don't." He
responded to the proposal by saying, "We
think we can do something creative and
keep our EOP programs, rather than just
wipe them out. We would rather reduce
our enrollment than do away with our EOP
outreach programs."
Chancellor Reed invited students,
faculty, staff, and presidents to come to
the Chancellor's Office in February to a
planned Budget Summit to work on some
of the proposed ideas.
Chancellor Reed called the budget "not
a pretty picture," and expressed concern
that if the proposed $15 billion bond on the
March 2 ballot fails, "I'm afraid we're back
at ground zero, and the potential for cutting
the University goes up tremendously "
Proposition 55, an initiative on the
upcoming March ballot that could "get
California out of the hole," will be paid
back over 7 to 8 years, and will give $12.2
billion to public schools, community colleges, as well as the CSU and UC systems
for new building construction, with the
CSU share being approximately $770 million, explained Chancellor Reed.
The Chancellor expressed hope that students would support Prop. 55, urging them
that, "It is very important that all of our
students know how important this is."
In a last agenda item apart from, but
closely related to the budget, Chancellor
Reed emphasized the need to publicize
information concerning Cal Grant programs. "California is fortunate that we
have a very good financial aid program.
Many of our students qualify for Cal
Grants, but many of our students don't
know the deadline to apply." He compelled students to acquire Cal Grant forms
at the Financial Aid Office, to have them
completed and post-marked before the
March 2 deadline. "Tens of thousands of
our students are eligible for Cal Grants," he
stated, who will miss their opportunity if
the deadline expires.

�University Voice:
What do you think
about the primary?
By TOR FREED
Pride StaffWriter
It seems the red planet is
much more familiar and probably a whole lot more exciting
than democratic candidates
facing each other to see who
will get the nomination and
the arduous task of facing
George Bush in the upcoming
presidential elections.
For those who missed it,
Howard Dean has been the
democratic front-runner on
his anti-war, anti-Bush campaign but his angry tirades
have left many democrats
doubting his ability to lead
the country. This became
apparent when presidential
hopeful John Kerry won the
caucas in Iowa and New
Hampshire despite endorsements for Dean by former
vice-president A1 Gore and
other influential democrats.
Even more amazing is that
Kerry's political campaign
was close to having the last
nail in the coffin before this
stunning turnaround. This is
hugely important for democrats because Kerry, former
Vietnam veteran and Purple
Heart recipient, has a chance
against Bush and those wanting a strong military. Vbters
on the fence cannot overlook
this.
The Pride ventured out
among the students to see
what they felt about this new
turn of events.
Gary Taylor, senior and
former veteran seemed like a
good start. Taylor is president
of the CSUSM veterans association and describes himself
as a former 'train fighter'
after falling into a train in
Bosnia that rendered his left
arm disabled and missing part
of his left leg. An ambitious
man taking eighteen units and
continuing on to law school,
Taylor was bound to have
an opinion about the latest
events.
"I haven't had time to pay
attention because I carry eighteen units," said Taylor. "I
was leaning towards Wesley
Clark until he compared
Bush with a two-bit dictator,
not very professional for a
general."
Taylor doubts very seriously if he will consider
voting for a democrat.
Melissa Thompson, senior,
has not been paying close
attention.
She was busy
doing some sort of advanced
math when The Pride posed
the question.
Thompson said, "Howard
Dean's rampage strengthens
Bush's chances for re-election."
A trip to the T.K.E. pledge
stand might have been a bad
idea considering that when I
asked about the democratic
turn of events the response
was, "Dude, I 've been sleeping all day, why don't you ask
one of those guys?" I asked
one of those guys, and he said
he had no clue and what was
going on with that.
Amy Weaver, junior^ said
she understood the implications, and if a democratic
hopeful could inject some
much needed money into the
education system.

G ary Taylor
"No, I was not aware (of
Kerry's win) of that," Weaver
said. "I try not to watch the
news, the local news. I try to
watch C.N.N but I haven't had
time since school started."
When asked if a democratic
president could help the
budget crisis looming at CSU
universities Weaver said, "I
think the democrats and the
republicans agree on a lot of
the same things. The platform
issues. And unfortunately,
education is going to suffer.
Even Bush is for education,
his wife is a teacher."
Ashley Stuart, sophomore,
was the only person I interviewed who knew about
Kerry's win, but she was not
happy with the process.
"What really drives me
crazy is all the finger pointing. (Candidates) don't really
seem to care about people,"
said Stuart. "And the ads,
they drive me crazy too, it's
all Hollywood."
Stuart also said that neither
party is going to help reverse
the downward trend in spending on education.
"I really don't see any big
change with regards to party."
"I don't pay attention to that
stuff until they're here in California," said junior, Stephanie
Allen. "I won't know everything, but I 'll know a little."

The VPA auditorium seats 150 people and hosts Arts and Lecture series events, such as dance.
Dance program global and growing
By LAURA WHITAKER
Pride Staff Writer
Professor Karen Schaffman brings not only what
she calls her post-modern approach to dance to the
campus, but a very global awareness of dance.
Much to my surprise (and delight) there is
more going on in the CSUSM Dance Program
than I thought. A small but strong division of the
Visual and Performing Arts Department, the Dance
Program was originally taught off-campus at the
Escondido Center for The Arts by adjunct faculty.
In the last few years, however, Professor Schaffman
arrived, bringing the classes on campus, and giving
the program a whole new spin.
Schaffman teaches several classes, including
Global Modern Dance, which focuses on world
dance forms.
"The dance program is very interdisciplinary
right now," Schaffman said. " I'm very interested in
mixing dance with video and sampled music."
She also facilitates a modern dance class in contemporary technique, and a choreography workshop
which run back to back on Monday and Wednesday
for those interested in movement classes. In addition to this, there is a new Dance 10Í class based
on dance appreciation, and a class that crosses with
women's studies called Women in Performance
Choreography.
In fact, there are some new classes in the works,
including a history of modern and postmodern
dance, and a course on dance and new media.
Schaffinan is currently working collaboratively with
Kristine Diekman, Tony Allard, and William Bradbury on such multimedia based endeavors.
In the past few years, the dance program has
hosted numerous performances and artist residencies for companies such as Urban Bush Women,
Korean National University of the Arts, as well as
African, Filipino, and local performance styles.
In regard to campus-wide dance activities go,
Laurence Bolotin, the ASI coordinator of student
programs and services, has helped put together
free fitness and leisure courses in the Clarke Field
House. Among these are included a Belly Dancing
and an African Dance class. ASI is also forming a
iiip-hop group called Jam Control.
As far as the future of the dance program, "It
looks to expanding dance by bringing it into other
disciplines," said Schaffinan. This fall there will
even be a minor in dance available for interested
students. "The future for dance at San Marcos is
growing," Schaffinan said. "Come take a class."

Now that Cal State University San Marcos has this big beautiful
brand new library, you could be wondering why the building
is named after a cereal company. Well it's true. William Keith
Kellogg II, who grew up learning the family business in a cereal
factory, and Janet "Jean" Kellogg, both are who our library is named
after.
William Keith Kellogg II learned the family business from his
grandfather Kellogg in Battle Creek, Michigan. Now, William Keith
and Janet "Jean" Kellogg are well known for their long history of
philanthropy with many institutions.
Senior Kellogg started the W. K. Kellogg Foundation in the 1930's.
He donated a major portion of his fortune, including donating his
800-acre ranch in Pomona, his herd of registered Arabian horses and
$600,000 to the University of California; which would establish the
ranch site for Cal Poly Pomona.
The naming processes of CSU buildings works, in that, the names
are approved by the Cal State University Board of Trustees upon
the recommendation of the campus. The trustees consider the donor
and her pr his background, the donor's history or relationship with
the campus and the amount of the donation. The amount must
be substantial and in relation the Kellogg's have asked to keep it
private. We can tell you that the donation was in the seven figures
range.
The Kellogg's have been long time supporters of CSUSM since
1997. One of their first gifts to the CSUSM campus helped
complete preliminary planning so that the library project was moved
up on the CSU priority list, and resulted in the building being
completed several years before the original planned date.
The Kellogg's did not just give their money but encouraged others
to donate as well. This strategy is used in a manner that when, for
example, $1 is given, the match doubles the gift to $2.

When the Governor
revoked $23.7 from the
CSU last semester he
started a chain reaction.
The latest is that Schwarzenegger illegally repealed
the triple car tax last year.
He replaced that fee by
decreasing support to UC
and CSU schools. Basically he's kicking the ladder
out from those who depend
on it.
A group of college students, namely in the UC
system, is suing the Governor. They found a law
saying the tax can only be
lowered if there is enough
money in the California's
fund to cover existing
programs, like Cal State's
EOP.
Cindy Gutierrez, a student enrolled in EOP, said
she could have gone to
college without the outreach, but it's hard to say.
She started in AVID while
younger, and then got into
college programs.
One point she made clear
though — not all students
at CSUSM would be here
now without the outreach
programs. EOP helps those
students stay in v school
when they get here.

Starbucks has invaded the
United States faster than Juan
Valdez can say no bueno.
And now we've allowed it
to invade our campus. Their
overpriced coffee is about to
put the little refreshment cart
in front of Academic Hall out
of business — the epitome of
the corporate giant swallowing up the little mom and pop
stores. But it seems the trend is
here to say. Starbucks seems to
be a very profitable company
to invest in. How do I know?
Well maybe the fact that not
only is there one on campus
but there is another one about
a quarter mile down the road
in the Ralph's shopping center
tells me. I also know of a few
other spots in San Diego where
Starbucks shops are within
a quarter mile of each other.
How much more trendy can
it get? It will be scary when
property values go up due to
a Starbucks being built in a
neighborhood. But at the rate
Starbucks is going, I wouldn't
totally dismiss the idea.
Starbucks is a billion dollar
company and I don't think the
removal of the one on campus
will break the company. I
do know that it would probably save the livelihood of the
person who owns the little cart
in front of Academic Hall if we
remove the Starbucks. It would
help us students a lot more to
put a store like a Costco for
books. Cheaper books store not

look at this place as San
Marcos's palate, and let the
customers and the clientele
and the community paint the
picture."
In shaping a place which
appeals to all facets of the
community, the owners
have kept the college students in mind. The Blvd
brings an urban, beach-style
atmosphere to inland San
Marcos, giving local college
students a fresh, modern
venue to call their own.
The spacious, newly finished dining room with a
large stage and dance floor,
offers sleek, black booths
and a full bar. The walls,

although freshly painted,
have an aged, Spanish look
about them. There is also a
ten foot projection screen.
The Blvd's outdoor patio
area takes inspiration from
the beach, with its two lava
rock fire pits and a glass
waterfall that lights up at
night. There is an outside
bar as well.
There is also a room
known as the "Dragon
Lounge," because it used
to be a Chinese restaurant.
Offsetfromthe main dining
room, the Dragon Lounge
is smaller with a full bar,
plasma screen TVs, red
light fixtures, and carved
doors.
Realizing the diversity
within the college community itself, the Blvd will
offer a variety of options
for students. "Most of the
college students in this area
have very limited choices,"
Simmons states, "so we're
trying to provide as many
choices as possible within
our own venue."
The Blvd will feature different music throughout the
week including punk rock,
reggae, hip hop, jazz, and
acoustic bands.
The menu is reasonably
priced and provides variety
as well, with an extensive
selection of appetizers—
ranging from corn dogs to
coconut
shrimp—salads,
pastas, and half pound burgers.
Simmons adds that initial
conversations between the
Blvd and CSUSM have
begun, hoping to create
a community between
the Blvd and the college.
Sometime in the spring, he
wishes to host festivals in
the dorm's quad. Simmons
has also initiated discussion
with the art department on
campus.
The Blvd was fully opened
for business Saturday, January '31, and Simmons looks
forward to seeing how the
community will respond
to the Blvd in the weeks
to come. "We don't know
exactly what we're going to
end up with in three months
or three years, or whatever it
is, but the market and community will kind of dictate
to us what they want to see
happening here."
Simmons and the other
owners hope to eventually
expand the Blvd to San
Diego and Orange County.
'A date w9ith Tad
Hamilton a tad
bit predictable
By ZELYNDA SMITH
Pride StaffWriter
If you haven't already seen
"Win A Date With Tad Hamilton," but you've seen other teen
aged romantic comedies, you can
pretty much understand the concept of this one.
Topher Grace, from the hit
T.V. series "That 70's Show,"
plays Pete, a focused and warmhearted supermarket manager in
Frasier's Bottom, West Virginia.
He suffers from a childhood
crush on his co-worker Rosalie
(Kate Bosworth) that eventually
evolved into much more.
Over the years the two remain
the best of friends. But when
she wins a date with her dream
guy, Hollywood heart-throb, Tad
Hamilton (Josh Duhamel), things
get a bit more interesting.
Blinded by his Hollywood
image Rosalie fails to see Tad's
true colors. Tad becomes convinced that she has more to offer
then the big-shot models that he's
used to dating. She proves that
she can be just as captivating
without sacrificing her morals
and for the first time Hollywood's
leading man falls in love.
Meanwhile, Tad and Pete continuously compete for her affection
and the question that the movie
proposes is inevitably: Do nice
guys really finish last?
Although the movies plot line
was cliché, the writing wasn't
terrible. At times I really felt
Rosalie's happiness as well as her
indecision.
Photo courtesy of DreamWorks Pictures
Topher Grace and Kate Bosworth play small town grocery store employees that are
star struck when a famous actor played by Josh Duhamel c omes to town.
Unfortunately there were
times when the movie tended to
be all too predictable. I caught
my mind wandering out of the
story and wondering why Rosalie's eyes were two different
colors (I'm almost positive that
Director, Robert Luketic, didn't
want his audience to focus on
that), so a twist in the story
would have been welcome. The
soundtrack was a big help to my
enjoyment of this film. It was
upbeat and sassy. From Barry
White to Jewel, this soundtrack
won the movie some major
points. Overall, "Win A Date
With Tad Hamilton" helps jolt
the memory of that first love and
all the essential steps that it took
to get it.

Budget cuts Students and faculty say 'NO' to budget cuts

up Monday to protest the
sweeping budget cuts proposed by Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger to balance
the debt-ridden California
part 1 of 2
By KYLE OTTO
Pride StaffWriter
Forecasted budget cuts of $240 million
to CSU campuses may require CSUSM's
college of education to reduce enrollment,
and the number of sections offered J o
students, while remaining committed to
taking cuts "without affecting instruction."
"More people want in the
credential program than we B u d g e t
can allow in," said College of W a t c h
education representative for
2004
the Budget and Long Range
Planning Committee, Dr.
Tom Bennett.
As Dean M. Stephen Lilly of the college
of education confirmed, "the college of
education will be expected to take a part of
the system-wide reduction in students.
Lilly said because
the
college's
credential program
isfifth-year,it would
be "better not to
admit students, than
to admit them and
not be able to offer
them the classes to
Dean Lilly finish."
Restrictions
to
credential program admissions will be
based primarily on the needs of the field, he
explained. If the pool of available teachers in
a particular area is larger than the number of
jobs, "that's where we would decide to limit
admissions," he said.
For example, Lilly said that "There is
a chronic shortage of special education
teachers in this area. We will not restrain
admission to special education credential
programs. It wouldn't be a responsible thing
to do."
Admissions restrictions will likely result in
the reduction of one less "cohort group" in a
year. The cohort model provides for groups
currently of approximately 30 credential
students to remain together in all of their
courses throughout the yearlong program.
Lilly surmised that, "Maybe the best thing
we have going is the luxury of the cohort
model. Teachers learn from each other and
support each other," closely mirroring a
professional learning community. He further

"The state is not going to be
better off 20 years from now
because we denied people
access to higher education,"
said George Diehr, president
of the CSUSM chapter of the
California Faculty Association.
A number of programs that
are considered
vital throughout the CSU
system
are
in jeopardy
under
Schwarzenegger's
cuts, the most notable being
the Educational Opportunity
Program.
With form letters lined up on
side tables, ASI Vice President
of External Affairs Erik Roper
encouraged students to get
involved politically by calling
or writing their state representatives. Budget cuts, he said,
will drastically affect students

High school conference
celebrates latinos and
enpowers students
•W^SÊ^âÊÉM

With rappers waving their hands in the air
and colorful dre'sses twirling on Latina women,
MEChA hosted the sixth annual high school
conference Friday.
Almost 450 students from North County
high schools swarmed CSUSM from morning
till 1:30 p.m., some for the food and fun; others
had a more serious purpose.
"I came for info about the university," said
Juan Beltran, a senior at Valley Center high
school.
MEChA ran the event for that purpose, to
motivate students to attend college and raise
awareness of Latino issues and history.
"It explained something about my culture,"
Beltran said.
In California, Latinos are 32 percent of the
population, but only 18 percent of the students
at Cal State San Marcos are Latino. Latinos
are considered underrepresented because of
this.
"They need to be here, and they should be
here," said E. Sugar Martinez, assistant professor for the college of education. She said
that we are at a time when demographics are
changing "like a tidal wave.
"The changes are going to be revolutionary,"
Members of SoKal represented Escondido Friday as they sang about street life.

Report calls book
prices a ' ripoff
By MICHELLE VELARDE
Pride StaffWriter
The publishing incjustry has
developed numerous ways to make
college students pay high prices for
textbooks, a recent report says.
The California and Oregon
Student Public Interest Research
Groups (State PIRGs) issued the
report in January, 2004, fittingly
titled "Rip-off 101: How the Current
Practices of the Publishing Industry
Drive Up the Cost of College Textbooks." In conducting their research,
the State PIRG's surveyed ten colleges in California and Oregon, and
interviewed 521 students and 156
faculty members.
One technique used by publishers to get more money is to include
additional "bells and whistles" with

textbooks, such as CD ROMs or workbooks,
the report says. Students usually cannot buy
the book without the additional material.
"Rip-off 101" reports that this tends to
happen more with science and math books.
CSUSM chemistry professor Michael
Schmidt remembers an instance when it was
cheaper for the school to order the new edition of a textbook with a CD included than
the edition without it. However, by ordering
the less expensive editions with the CD, it
also prevented the used editions from being
stocked, because they didn't come with a CD.
Students were therefore unable to buy the
more affordable used editions. "Some of the
tricks they pull are amazing," Schmidt said.
In addition, the report says that sixty-five
percent of professors "rarely" or "never"
require students to use these supplemental
materials. Therefore, when students buy
books with additional study items, they are
paying for something that they most likely
will not use. Angela Lesh, CSUSM sophomore business major, has never used a CD
that has come with one of her textbooks. " I'll
forget that I even have it," she says, "and then
I'll need it to return [sell back] books."
The report also concluded that publishers
frequently put out new editions of textbooks,
even if it isn't necessary. Erwin V. Cohen,
a former publishing industry executive for
Academic Press, was quoted in the report.
"Publishers release new editions of successful textbooks every few years," he said, "not
to improve content, although that may be a

byproduct—but to discourage the sales of
used books by making them seem obsolete."
Seventy-six percent of the faculty surveyed
for the report said that putting out new editions for textbooks is necessary "never" to
"half the time."
As a result of the constant production of
new editions, students have a hard time finding used books, the report says. Fifty-nine
percent of students surveyed could not find
one used book in the fall, 2003 semester.
Lesh said that new books go quickly. "If I
don't go (to the bookstore) right away, I have
to buy new books," she said. Some students,

explained, "We know what we need to offer
a group of students that comes through the
door. Students like the predictability of it.
They never stand in line to get a class,"
About 16 percent of the university's
current students are enrolled in the college
of education's post-graduate programs, 8085 percent of which are credential students,
Lilly explained.
Related to instruction, last year's cuts
included no layoffs, and concerning the
future possibility of faculty layoffs, Lilly
stated for the record that, "We don't
anticipate it, but we don't know."
Last year's budget reduced faculty travel
allocations and mileage reimbursements for
professional meetings and conferences, in
order not to affect the number of sections
offered or the number of students admitted
this year.
Concerning programs to be affected by
budget reductions, Bennett explained, "we
need to cut areas that we're sure will come
back. You can whittle things down in areas
and they will never come back. If you cut
core essential things that there's a lot of
personal interest in, then when funding
comes back, they will also come back."
Furthermore, he added, "There has been
no discussion about what's being removed.
It needs to be something that will come
back for certain. If we raise class sizes,
they may never go back down."
Placing a greater burden on teachers,
these measures may affect the quality of
instruction available within the college of
education.
Bennett, a mathematics professor,
characterized CSUSM as on the "cutting
edge" of educational knowledge and
resources. His greatest concern as a
faculty member was regarding continued
faculty support, elaborating that unless
teachers continue to pursue professional
development, "the ideas that they still
hold will be the ideas of yesterday." He
continued, "There needs to be continued
opportunity to participate in the broader
community, so that those ideas can then be
brought to our students."

Alternatives for making textbooks more

Online textbooks may be a cheaper option,
because the cost of paper and printing is
eliminated, the report states. Schools could

the report says, by creating book rental programs and by sponsoring bookswaps.

SDSU introduces "Transamerica'9
By MARK PERRERA
Pride StaffWriter
The San Diego State University business
program launched "Transamerica" last
week, becoming the first state college with
a transnational triple degree program involving the United States,
Chile and Mexico.
In 2002, SDSU implemented CaMexUS which linked them to
Canada and Mexico. These are undergraduate programs with the
main focus on international business.
Students in the Transamerica program will study for a minimum
of one year in each country and will graduate with three degrees: a
Bachelor of Arts in international business with emphasis in Spanish
and Latin American studies, a Licenciatura en Negociaciones Internacionales from the Universidad de Valparaiso in Vina del Mar and
Valparaiso, Chile, and a Licenciatura en Negocios Internacionales
from the Unversidad Automoa de Baja California in Tijuana.
Transamerica director Teresa Cisneros Donahue said the international degree will prepare students to take advantage of new economic
market forming overseas and help expand our academic relations with
them.
Prerequisites of the triple degree program require students to earn
79 units in international business courses. Half of these courses must
be completed in Spanish at Transamerica schools plus 49 units of
General Education at SDSU.
CSU Chico gets $1 million grant
By ELIZABETH BALDWIN

California Postsecondary Education
Commission has granted $998,946 to
Cal State University, Chico. The grant
will be used to improve the quality of education of K-12 teachers and
help county offices of education meet new mandated requirements for
beginning teachers.
The funds will also be distributed among Tehama County Office of
Education and Northeastern California Teachers Education Collaborative (NECTEC).
The California Commission on Teaching Credentialing now requires
teachers to continue learning in areas such as: technology, teaching
English learners, creating healthy learning environments and teaching
special populations.
"From district to district, there is a wide rang of induction activities.
NECTEC will improve on current work, developing new materials,
make them easy to access and align them during this crucial time," said
Terry Janicki, CSU Chico education services.

During a speech she gave, she
performed a song she wrote for
the event called "Si Se Puede,"
— "Yes You Can," — Caesar
Chavez's slogan for Latino
rights.
Her message, she said, was
that through education, it is possible for students to grow into
leadership — leadership to open
the doors for underrepresented
people in the community.
At Cal State San Marcos, the
doors are open for them, said
Rosa Balcazar, entertainment
chair for MEChA and a freshman
at CSUSM. She said the theme
for the convention was "Education is not a dream, it is a goal."
After speeches, including an
intro by President Haines, the
students attended workshops
concerning entering college and
cultural topics.
Dr. Carlos von Son, a professor for the world languages
department, lectured classes of
50 students on a painting of the
"Virgin of Guadalupe." In a
world where images represent
who we are, von Son talked
about image changes in the
United States.
He said he urged the importance of art in education and
wanted the students to start
thinking for themselves.
"Students were really responsive. I like that," he said.

After the performance, the

she came just to see them. They

their teachers, and providing inservice training." Affiliated with
the North County Professional
Development
Federation,
a
consortium of approximately
22 districts, CSUSM would be
disabled by budget cuts in its
ability to work with teachers in
the community.
Such collaboration with local
school districts is essential
when considering its impact, as
evidenced by this February 6
statement in the CSU Leader, a
weekly e-news publication of the
CSU: "CSU has increased the
number of new teaching credential
candidates to 12,700, a 25 percent
increase during 2001-2. The CSU
is widely known for preparing
60 percent of California's
credentialed teachers."
In lieu of these successful and
essential CSU programs, state
Superintendent of Education
Jack O'Connell sent a letter to
Governor Schwarzenegger urging
that the proposed 40 percent
graduate fee increase not apply
to credential students, "because
of the importance of having a
qualified pool of students in the
state," Lilly said, adding, "We're
going to try to back that up by
protecting fee levels as much as
we can."
Emphasizing
the
unique
importance CSUSM places on
teacher education, he revealed
that, "This campus invests a
higher proportion of its funds in
preparing teachers than any other
CSU."
With regard to this year's
funding, the college of education
(COE)'s fiscal year (FY) 03/04
initial general fund budget
allocation consisted of $4,669,577,
or approximately 6.1 percent
of the total fall 2003 CSUSM
annual budget of $76,510,104, or
11.42 percent of the $40.9 million
payroll of 980 employees (full-,
and part-time staff and faculty).
FY 03/04 budget cuts accounted
for $371,959, or 7.97 percent,
including a permanent funding
cut of $274,917, or 5.89 percent,
resulting in a net FY 03/04 COE
budget allocation of $4,297,618,
according to Resource and
Operations Manager for the
Provost, Deborah Cutler Ray.
Because instructional budgets
are separate from all other funds
(i.e. buildings), however, the
Proposition 55 $15 billion bond
proposed on the March 2 ballot
would not directly affect these
figures, which consist solely of
instructional funding allocations.
However, as Lilly explained, the
bond measure "will have a domino
effect," as new construction
allows the college of education to
"grow into their building," while

Proposition

feasibly less potential cuts will

undergraduates' abilities to afford
pre-education programs in order
to become teachers. The Dean
expressed his concern saying,
"We're very interested in, and
committed to the continuation of
outreach programs. Elimination
would absolutely affect those

Reflecting on the Governor's
proposed fee increase structure
of 10 percent for undergraduates,
40 percent for graduate students,
RALLY
from page 1
and an additional 20 percent for
non-residents, Lilly expressed
that, "One of the really good
things this state does is, when
fees increase, part of those fees go
toward proportionately increasing
available grant funds such as Cal
Grants, so that those who are least
able to afford a fee increase also
have the grant money available to

"a forward looking policy."

Several
other
CSUSM faculty members attended the rally,
including
Literature
and Writing professor
Lance Newman, who
suggested creating a
county-wide "anti-cuts
coalition."
Newman
cited a recent rally at
UCSD as evidence that
students here are "not alone" in opposing
the governor's budget cuts.
Former EOP Director Edward Pohlert
noted that several of the assemblymen
students were asked to contact were former
EOP students themselves.
"There are 300,000 EOP graduates since
1969 that are doing some great work,"
Pohlert said. "It's not about the governor.
It's a numbers game."
Pohlert also answered concerns that
Schwarzenegger's cuts to the EOP may
be racially motivated. "I don't think it's
a racial issue as much as a class issue," he
said, raising questions about the governor's
financial backers.
2004-2005 budget goes
unchallenged.
The majority of the
time during the rally was
spent focusing on the
governor's plans to cut
the Educational Opportunity Program out of
campuses across the
state. Students were asked to contact local
political leaders while hearing testimonies
from EOP graduates.
"When I first heard about the governor's
cuts to the EOP, I was disheartened, because
so many of us have gone on to contribute to
the state," said former EOP student Susana
Gonzalez. "The governor's cutting numbers—he's not looking at your face."
According to a fact sheet circulated
Monday, the EOP at Cal State San Marcos
serves more than five hundred low-income
students, providing one $750 grant per year
to each eligible participant. EOP services
include advising and "supplemental instruction."
Interim Dean of
the College of Arts

Golich compared the
services offered by the

at CSUSM to those of

What
think
about disruptive
st
mmpsspäsT"
By TOR FREED
Pride Staff Writer
It's a simple principle; less
is more . .. at least that's one of
the virtues that CSUSM tries to
apply to its student body when
relating to student-teacher
ratios. The smaller the class
size, the more individual attention each student can receive.
In theory this works, but is there
a dangerous side effect slowly
working its way to the surface,
one that is reminiscent of the
not too distant past, of say, high
school.
Disruptive students, the ones
who talk about plans for the
weekend, what they're going
to do or anything that diverts
attention from what the professor is teaching. Everyone experienced it in high school, but as
mature adults in a state university, it's unlikely anyone will
receive detention or a trip to the
dean's office. Is it something
that's simply a part of human
nature or are students showing
less respect than they used to
towards teachers.
"It happened this morning
in accounting, it's disruptive,
(and) it's rude," said Rico Gutierrez, junior HTM major.
Jennifer Diaz, junior, business "exactly" agreed with
Gutierrez's comment regarding
Erik G uevara
classroom pests.
"I get up early," Gutierrez
explained. "It's not that I want
to be here early, but I'm here,
and these people disrespect the
class. Everyone here's older, it's
not like high school. Can't you
just be quiet?"
Vicki Baiandourian, junior,
communications said, "Well.. .1
don't like it, but it doesn't
bother me as long as I can hear
the instructor. If people around
me are talking, I ask them to be
quiet."
Meeting one of 'those' students, the student who is actually guilty of discussing that
guy they'd met at someone's
house, or the thirty six beers
they thought they drank, could
prove to be difficult, after all
no one wants to admit they are
guilty of annoying others.
Erik Guevara, SSM junior
gave a sheepish grin and a
reluctant admittance to sometimes forgetting to put his
cell phone on vibrate mode.
Regarding students talking
in class Guevara said, "They
should go outside, or talk about
it later. I think it's disrespectful
to talk during class. When I do
talk, it's about a class related
subject."

Examining Black History Month
By LORIANN SAMANO
Pride Staff Writer
J ennifer Diaz
Different classes sometimes
require different approaches in
classroom decorum. Granted,
talking about the weekend isn't
one of them, but many times
students get in sidebar conversations about class while the
professor is teaching.
Jason Padilla, senior communications said, "I think its okay
(sidebar conversations while the
professor is speaking) in certain
classrooms. It's not a bad thing
for students to talk amongst
each other if the subject requires
or demands it."
Therein lies the crux. Some
majors beg for conversation,
because without it, they almost
cease to function. Any communications professor will tell you
that 'noise' plays a big part in
receiving or sending a message.
As long as that noise is conducive to sending and receiving,
play on, otherwise, the process
breaks down. "Other classes,
it's inappropriate, like a math
or sociology class," said Padilla.
"(In) a communications class,
we're all masters of mass media;
it's hard not to communicate."

Sitting at the Black History
Month Breakfast, on the CSUSM
campus, I looked around at a
room full of different people
who gathered together to have
breakfast, support Black History
Month and enjoy the company of
other students, staff and faculty
who support the same ideas. As
I sat there eating, and enjoying
the conversation in which I was
surrounded, I began to wonder
how and when this recognition of
Black History Month began.
The celebration of Black History
Month is accredited to the study of
black history by Dr. Carter G.
Woodson.
Raised in Kentucky by his
parents, who were former slaves,
he graduated from high school,
and went to Harvard to earn
a Ph.D. Dr. Woodson, while
studying, found that history books
greatly ignored black Americans
and were only reflected in inferior
social positions that they were
assigned at the time.
Dr. Woodson decided to write
black Americans into the nation's
history.
He established the
Association for the Study of Negro
Life and History in 1915, and a
year later founded the Journal
of Negro History. In 1926 he
launched Negro History Week,
now called Black History Month,
as a way to bring national attention
to the contributions of black people
throughout American history.
February was chosen as Black
History Month because it marks
the birthdays of Fredrick Douglass
and Abraham Lincoln, two men
who greatly influenced the black
American population.
February also marks other
important dates throughout black
history such as the birthday of
W.E.B. Du Bofs, Feb. 23, 1868.
Du Bois was an important civil
rights leader and co-founder of
theNAACP. The 15th Amendment
was passed Feb. 3, 1870, granting
Blacks the right to vote. The
first black U.S. senator, Hiram
R. Revels, took his oath of office
Feb. 25, 1870. The National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People (NAACP) was
founded by a group of black and
white citizens in New York City
Feb. 1, 1960. And Malcolm X,
the militant leader who promoted
Black Nationalism, was shot to
death by three Black Muslims Feb.
21, 1965.
After learning all these facts,
I had a better appreciation and
understanding of all of those
involved at the CSUSM Black
History Month Breakfast. The
Black National Anthem sung
by Ruby Udeh, the keynote
speaker Dr. Edmond Heatley,
entertainment from the Black
Student Union, who delivered
works by Maya Angelo, Lameka
Ingram and Anthony Blacksher, as
well as a reading by Honey Folk,
the ASI president, and Amazing
Grace sung by Kimberly Oliver.
"Knowledge is the key but only
when you share it," said keynote
speaker Dr. Edmond Heatly. "To
stay free, stay educated."
Democratic club builds membership
By TOR FREED
Pride Staff Writer
Politics are not just heating up in
the news; it's starting to get a little
warmer on campus thanks to the
formation of the new Democratic
club.
Started by Dustin Lacasse, it
was only a matter of time before
the existing Republican club had
a little competition. According
to Lacasse, that was the primary
reason for founding the club.
"I wanted another voice on
campus, to counter the Republican
rhetoric," Lacasse said.
It goes deeper. Dustin said he
strongly believes in the values of
the Democratic Party and does
not believe the Republican Party
promotes equality.
"This country as a whole has a
lot of problems and I think every-
one should be treated equally,"
Lacasse said. He also wanted to
spread the message of what the
Democratic party is about, what it
stands for and how it can make a
difference in this country.
Lacasse said wants the fledgling
club to work with other student
clubs on campus to let them know
what the Democratic party is about
and how it can address their needs.
Thefirstpriority of the Democratic
club is to build itiynembership.
Currently there are seven members but Lacasse does not want
that to be confused with lack of
interest — many students work
when the club meets or have
class. He wants to point out that
even if students cannot make the
club meetings they should still
e-mail him and he can keep them
informed.
After membership, building
Lacasse wants to hold a public
forum where they can spread
the message of the Democratic
Party, particularly before elections. "We'd love to have a debate
against the Republican club, anytime," he said.
Currently the club meets on
Tuesdays at 4:30 p.m. in ACD 405,
but in the future that will change to
Thursdays at 5:30, location is still
to be determined.
"I just want people to know, if
they want something to change
they need to get involved and the
best way for students to do that is
through a student club," Lacasse
said.
Students interested in information or about joining can e-mail
Lacasse at lacas001@csusm.edu.

At 9:45 p.m. last Sunday night I was
crying my eyes out. I would like to say
I 'm a hopeless romantic and I was sobbing
because Carrie and Big finally got together.
However, the truth is, I am so sorry to see
my beloved Sex And The City (SATC) end!
The four women on Sex And The City;
Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha
have changed the perception of single
women forever.
The life of a single woman has always
been pretty much the same throughout the
past decades. What SATC did was change
the popular definition of what being a single
female really is.
Before SATC came along, the popular
perception of a single woman was that of a
lonely girl whose sole purpose in life was to
find a husband. Now that image has been
shattered for good.
The show gained most of its momentum in
the first season when it revealed to the world
that single women do have sex...and they
talk about it too! The unattached female is
closer to the playboy bachelor than was ever
expected in mainstream television.
I became a devoted fan of the show as
the women started to grow and evolve.
The best part about the four characters was
they were not stereotyped into a specific
category. Each fulfilled the virgin/whore
role at specific times in their lives.
For the first time on television, women
were having conversations similar to the
ones I was having with my friends. It also

opened up new topics to discuss with your
nearest and dearest. Socially acceptable
"girl talk" now ranges from orgasms,
vibrators, oral sex, to the
more serious impotency and
infertility.
One of my all time favorite
episodes was when Charlotte
consulted the other girls in
a taxicab regarding the very
important
"up-the-butt"
decision. I was so shocked
that four sophisticated women
in designer clothes were so
freely talking about such a taboo subject.
Correction, used to be taboo.
Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha
have displayed the real single women against
the marvelous backdrop of Manhattan. Real
woman meaning they have real careers, real
friendships, real problems and real sex. Yes,
the wardrobe was very unrealistic, but the
eye candy was great.
The show has also been a great source
of information for men. No longer is
just having a penis qualification for being
a significant other. Single women now
have much higher expectations. We want
someone that compliments our life, not
someone to take care of us.
From now on I will always miss my HBO
girls on Sunday evenings; which makes me
even more grateful for my real girlfriends
that I spend Saturday nights with.

Students of San Marcos,
Let me first start off by saying that I am
not here to discredit or bad mouth our new
President Haynes. But did you know she gets
a whopping $203,376 a year and on top of that
she also gets a $36,806 housing and car allowance.
I am not upset about her salary because she
has earned it, but I am upset with her allowance. There is no need for an allowance when
our state is in a budget crisis and our school has
no money. It seems a bit greedy to me.
Everyone who lives in the United
States knows that California is in some serious troublefinanciallyand that money is very
scarce. The area in which cuts were made the
most was in education and some how President
Haynes still manages to get an allowance.
With her new allowance, she already bought
a new Acura (Grey) with all the luxuries. Either
way we as students or tax payers are paying for
her allowance and new Acura. Anyone want to
go for a ride?
Also she writes books and I am sure that
there is some money coming in from that, so
financially she is ok and lives a modest life.
Then why the allowance? Her allowance should be spent a bit more wisely. For
example it can go towards our new parking
structure, better food (restaurants) and scholarships so that we can attract more students to
CSUSM. Or better yet, why not to schools who
are in desperate need offinancialsupport so
that our youth can get a better education? Isn't
the future of the world children? I think so and
not a new Acura.
For information about our new president you
can log onto signonsandiego.com and go under
education. Then in the search engine type Cal
State San Marcos and you will find all the info
about her.

On March 5, 2004, CSUSM will celebrate
the grand opening of the Kellogg Library by
having a Luiseno blessing performed by Chris
Devers.
In light of other events in this country, a
Judge ordering to remove the Ten Commandments from the Court House; City and County
councils ordered to remove the Ten Commandments from Public lands; now prayer is prohibited in public schools.
So one must wonder why a religious official
is allowed to perform this event at a Public
school. I have nothing against the Luiseno
people or their religion; I merely think that
if the State of California, through CSUSM, is
going to perform a religious act at the official
grand opening of a public building, they should
provide an opportunity for all religions to have
their representatives present to perform blessing as well.
Sanctioning an act by only one religious
official gives the appearance of officially
"respecting an establishment of religion" in
direct violation of the 1st Amendment of the
U.S. Constitution and the California Constitution, Article I, Section 4.
President Haynes should take the responsibility of inviting religious officials from all
religions in the area to join in this blessing,
or discontinue the singular recognition of the
Luiseno blessing.

The month of February is Black
History Month. One month is
set aside to commend and honor
our fallen black leaders and to show
our appreciation for the legacy
they left behind. I did not see too
many articles on Black History
Month in the local newspaper.
Therefore, I decided to get some
feedback on what Black History
Month means to students on
campus. I also wanted to discuss
the benefits they have received
from these civil rights leaders.
I spoke to Susan Loeber, a
junior majoring in sociology, and
asked her to state her views on
Black History Month. She said it
was important to her but she did
not think that there was enough
awareness. She said that perhaps
the instructors should talk more
about it in the classroom and give
some background and information
about some of our black civil
rights leaders. This will enable
students to be informed and will
raise awareness.
Danielle Storek a freshman
majoring in Communication
said she did not hear much buzz
on campus about Black History
Month. She is aware, however,
of black leaders like Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., who gave his
life fighting for equality for all
minorities. She said it would be
great if The Pride could feature a
black leader in the papers weekly
to help promote black history
awareness or if the school can
invite black leaders to come and
speak on campus.
From the interviews I conducted
on campus, it was evident to me
that Black History Month isn't
taken seriously on campus. I came
away with the impression that the
civil rights leaders' struggles and
hardship they endure have been
forgotten like yesterday's garbage.
In America, we have a tendency to
be non-chalant and take freedom
for granted.
Not too long ago during the
Civil War did we have brothers
killing brothers as North and
South fought over freedom for
the slaves. Then May 17, 1954
in the case of (Brown v Board
of Education), a young black
fifth grade student from Topeka
Kansas named Linda Brown was
denied admission into a white
elementary school.
Thurgood
Marshall a black lawyer and head
of the NAACP took this case to
the Supreme Court saying that
Photo courtesy of www.time.com/time
racial segregation in public school
violated the laws of the Fourteenth
Amendment. The Supreme Court
agreed and this decision became
not only the turning point in
desegregation of public school
but also a beginning to equality
among all races.
Today this benefit can be seen
through the school system, public
and private, as we are becoming
more and more diverse. This
decision ended the (Plessy v
Ferguson)case of 1896 of equal
but separate. Other benefits we
are enjoying today is the right of
minorities to vote, to sit where we
like on public transportation and
the list goes on and on and on.
The point is that Black History
Month should never be allowed
to have its fire flickering. Its fire
should be burning with intensity as
we remember our fallen comrades
who suffered persecution so that
we may have a better foundation
in life.
�American teens abroad make
for big laughs in 'Eurotrip'
By KIMBERLY SCHLATER
Pride Staff Writer
"Eurotrip," a film by the creators
of "Road Trip" and "Old School,"
was met with much anticipation at
a recent press screening.
The story begins on graduation
day. Scotty (Scott Mechlowicz)
and his best friend Cooper (Travis
Wester) decide to blow off their
European trip to intern for the
summer. After Scotty's girlfriend
breaks up with him the trip is back
on so Scotty can meet his German
Pen pal Mieke (Jessica Bohrs).
The boys take a journey through
London and Paris. While in Paris,
Scotty and Cooper meet up with
their friends, Jenny (Michelle
Trachtenberg) and her twin brother
Jamie (Travis Wester).
Then they're off to Amsterdam
and on to their final destination, Rome, where Scotty hopes
to meet Mieke for the first time.
The film is filled with non stop
comedy and laughter as the four
get a taste of the European lifestyle.
This film will make you want to go
home and plan your own "Eurotrip."

Student crooners
karaoke in Lounge
Lunchtime singing every
other Wednesday is afun
way to make new friends
By DANIELLE BOLDT
Pride Staff Writer

Dr. K r ocks t he mic while Living
Large in t he L ounge.
This last Wednesday at noon, the Student Lounge roeked to a different tune as
they held their biweekly session of karaoke they call Living Large in the Lounge.
The display of singing was certainly a
sight to see, and definitely worth the warm
welcome of free pizza and soda.
It was an unusual picture on campus. It
was a hilarious display as a student who
calls himself Dr. K was singing RUN
D.M.C.'s top hit, "It's Tricky."
Dr. K was pure comedy.
While most people pummeled through
the pizza boxes, casually taking seats on
the sofa playing video games, and talking
and laughing amongst each other, others
contributed to Dr. K's act by jumping and
dancing to the music.
Dr. K said, "They call me Dr. K I don't
know why. It might have something to do
with the fact that I work on video games
and build home music systems." For whatever reason Dr. K received his alias, it was
obvious that he was proud of his identity
and loved the microphone.
The enthusiasm in the Lounge was con-
tagious and other students sang as well.
Ashley Mistak, A.S.I, director of educational programming, and James Coleman
sang a duet to Aerosmith's "Dream On."
Mistak said that she enjoys Living Large
in the Lounge for the networking.
"A.S.I, is all about networking. That's
why I love my position. I am able to promote the opportunity for idea sharing to
everyone."
Brett Gladys, the social programming
director for A.S.I., said, "School sucks if
you just come and go."
It may not be as "tricky," as Dr. K
emphasized in Run D.M.C.'s song, to
spare an additional hour on campus to
meet new people, enjoy a good laugh, and
eat free food.

Walking up to Smitty's Downtown last
Thursday, a friend and I were greeted by
women with big hair smoking cigarettes
and men, slightly drunk and a little loud.
Past the payphones in the entryway,
past the bar flies and the blue pool tables,
we took a seat at one of the candle-lit
tables.
"Go get the book," I said. We were
here for our fix, our karaoke fix.
Smitty's Downtown, located in old
downtown Vista on the corner of Santa
Fe and Broadway, is a place "where good
friends meet," as their sign boasts.
The karaoke junkie can satisfy his or
her needs, seven nights a week from 9
p.m. until closing. Smitty's has the best
selection of songs; they've got everything
from AC/DC to ZZ top, Skid Row to the
Spice Girls.
Anita, the heavy-metal goddess who
DJs karaoke Sunday and Monday nights,
has her own personal stash, provided for
only those who are worthy of the rock.
Sometimes if you are lucky enough
Anita will sing DIO's "Holy Diver," and
she sings it just like Ronnie James.
"Ooh, ooh...To hold me, to scold me,
cause when I 'm bad, I 'm sooo bad," sang
Tuesday, February 24,2004 11
Linda, who comes to Smitty's with coworkers at least a few times a week, from
"Last Dance," helping us all remember
that disco just won't go away.
Sally sang Three Dog Night's "Mama
Told me Not to Come." It made me think
Aretha Franklin had died and was reincarnated in Sally.
"Stormin Norman, come up and sing
your first song of the evening," the DJ
said. "We've got Sarah on deck."
Stormin' Norman sauntered through
the crowd, wearing a ten gallon hat,
Wrangler jeans and a rodeo belt buckle.
Elvis returned to his country roots that
night with Stormin' Norman's version of
"Viva Las Vegas."
"Sarah, come up and sing your first
song," the DJ said.
As I walked toward the stage my body
felt a sudden rush of adrenaline. I picked
up the microphone and I played the airkeyboard as the white letters spelling out
the words to The Animals' "House of the
Rising Sun" came up on the monitor.
This may be a hard habit to break, and
until I find the willpower, I may need to
continue getting my fix by entertaining

Hot Swing Trio brings an amazing blend of talent
to CSUSM
—WIIIIIIIIIIUI
Mark O'Connor mixes classical violin
with the raw abandon of fiddling
By LAURA WHTTAKER
Pride StafiTWriter
The house lights go down, the
stage lights come up, and onto
stage shuffle three average looking men. Or so it would appear.
In actuality, these three make
up an amazing blend of musical
talent known as Mark O'Connor's
Hot Swing Trio.
The trio graced CSUSM's
Performance Hall Feb. 16 with
a 40 minute entourage of acoustical medleys. You could feel the
energy emanating from the artists in the intimate theater where
three rows of chairs were set up
less than 10 feet from the performers for the sold out show.
Vista resident Mark O'Connor
has been composing since the age
of thirteen, and is internation-
ally acclaimed for his ability to
mix classical violin with the raw
abandon of fiddling.
His body pulsed to the beat of
his quick and clever strokes of
the fiddle. With amazing slack
in the flexibility of his right arm,
O'Connor's bow sailed across
the metal strings of his instrument with seemingly effortless
accuracy.
Standing in the middle was
double bassist Jon Burr, who held
his massive standing bass against
his shoulder. Holding down the
correct chords with his left hand,
his right hand seemed to bumble
clumsily to pluck the thick
strings. The swift and responsive
tempo he maintained, however,

was anything but clumsy.
At the right of the trio sat
guitarist Frank Vignola, whose
nimble fingers stroked and
plucked the strings to the delight
of the audience's ears. With consummate accuracy he strummed
out the tunes with his buddies,
closing his eyes often as if the
music were part of his soul.
Taking cues from one another,
the trio recreated classics like
"Fascinating
Rhythm" and
brought poignant originals like

Payable On Death aka P.O.D.
returned to San Diego on Tuesday,
Feb. 17, for a sold-out show with
Linkin Park, Hoobastank and Story
of the Year. Playing at SDSU's Cox
Arena, P.O.D. performed some of
their most popular songs, as well
as a few off their new self-titled
album.
As the only band out of the four
from San Diego, P.O.D.'s performance was widely anticipated.
Floor access tickets sold out on the
first day they were available for purchase, and tickets on ebay.com were
selling for upwards of $100 in the
days leading up to the concert.
Since P.O.D.'s inception as a
punk-rock garage band in Chula
Vista, lead singer Sonny Sandoval
has helped propel the group into the
international limelight. Before kicking off the current "Meteora" tour
with Linkin Park, P.O.D. performed
for several months in Europe to promote their new CD.
Headlining last Tuesday's show,
Linkin Park proved musically to
be the best of the four bands at the
show. With the majority of their
performance coming from their
hugely popular album, "Hybrid
Theory," they were able to get the
somewhat disengaged crowd on
their feet for the entire hour and a
half that they played.
Linkin Park was also the only
band to attempt a series of slower
songs with a young, energetic crowd
when co-lead singer Mike Shinoda
brought out a piano towards the end
of the concert to give Chester Bennington the opportunity to show off
Photo courtesy of Linkin Park
his impressive voice.
Hoobastank and Story of the Year,
while receiving polite applause
and moderate audience interaction,
played well enough to deserve the
honor of opening for Linkin Park.
The highlight of the concert came
in the encore, when Linkin Park
brought out the lead singers from
the first three bands to perform
"One Step Closer"—arguably their
most popular song.
While Linkin Park dominated the
show with theirflashyperformance,
Sandoval showed that he's still in
touch with his home crowd while
proving P.O.D. to be thè most downto-earth of the bands that played.
Before finishing off their set with
their well-known "Southtown,"
Sandoval brought over a dozen local
children onto the stage to help sing
"Youth of the Nation."
He then directed the 5,000-plus
sellout crowd in singing "Happy
Birthday" to his nephew.
The "Meteora" tour will move
to the Midwest and the East Coast
before returning for a last show at
the Great Western Forum in Los
Angeles. While Linkin Park will
most likely wait to begin their
next series of concerts, P.O.D. has
already announced plans to kick
o ffa headline tour with Blindside in
Denver on May 1 of this year.

The article "Cal Grants offered
until March 2 " requires clarification.
First off, Cynthia Silman was
misquoted in the article in regards
to the information about completing
income taxes before completing the
FAFSA form. The quote should read
'You don't have to complete 2003's
income taxes prior to completing the
2004-2005 FAFSA form," meaning
that the FAFSA can be completed
before taxes, but taxes still must be
prepared: the FAFSA form is not a
substitute for a tax return.
Silman would also like to emphasize that the process is not necessarily simple. The most important
factor in determining Cal Grant
ligibility is the completion of the
FAFSA form. Once the FAFSA is
ompleted, Cal Grant eligibility is
checked automatically. The deadline
is March 2 to complete the FAFSA
so that Cal Grant eligibility can be
checked.
The best option for completing the FAFSA is online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov.
If an individual's income taxes
tiave not been completed, those numbers can be estimated and corrected
later.

proposal, had it been approved,
would have made voter registration available in classrooms

be 'Campana and Savona at Rancho
Coronado'. This housing track is built
by Continental Homes of D.R. Horton
company, a well-known name in
North County housing developments.
Although the first phase of this development is already completed and the
majority of the existing houses are sold
and occupied, another 200-plus homes
will be added. Production will leave
Rancho Coronado's development with
6 phases and over 600 new homes dedicated to stylish living.
Rancho Coronado representative
Nancy Whitton made it apparent last
week that Continental Homes bought
out this particular area because of the
population that the university will
eventually help blossom. "This area
has a real potential for growth," Whitton said. "Universities ensure a city's
reputation."
This local development offers 13001600 square foot homes ranging from
$350,000-$400,000. Catering to mainly
In response to an April, 2003 resolution,
Associated Students, Inc. will host a series of
workshops this week to educate students on
the details of Clean Money campaign finance
reform. ASI hopes to spark an increase in
student voting rates by bringing the campus
up-to-date on the latest political trend—appropriately, one that makes the political process
more accessible to students.
With regards to why student political activity is so low, ASI Vice President of External
Affairs Erik Roper said, "There's this widespread discouragement" among students
regarding the political process. "Most of them
are totally disengaged."
Noting that the CSU mission statement
includes the goal of producing politically
responsible citizens, Roper said that the Lobby
Corps—the political branch of ASI-—hopes to
promote student political involvement with its
workshops next week.
According to publicampaign.org, "Clean
Money, Clean Elections" (CMCE) reform
"allows qualified candidates to run for public
office without compromising their independence since they won't have to ask for money
from those with a vested interest in public
policy."
As opposed to privately-funded campaigns
that consistently span into the millions of dollars, CMCE reform would make public funding
available for anyone who could prove the legitimacy of their campaign.
"It basically allows politicians, once elected,
to not be beholden to special interests," Roper
said of the CMCE movement. "The reason it
was written in that we do these workshops
before an election was to remind people how
truly messed up our political campaign system
is."
After gathering a required number of signatures and small donations, candidates would be
provided with a first installment of public campaign money for primary elections. Upon winning the primary, candidates would be granted
money for the general election campaign. A

first time home buyers, Rancho Coronado
stated that they would rather not sell to the collage community directly. They do have cases
where 'mom and dad' have purchased the
house first and the collegiate son or daughter
are the only ones in occupancy.
Directly across Village Drive is a housing
development that hasn't yet broken ground, but
is estimated at 300 homes, contracted by The
Standard Pacific company. Construction on the
first offivephases begins in a few months.
Apartments are also booming. In fact,
'Prominence' has the best view of CSUSM.
They enjoy a lovely gated community and,
unlike the housing tracks, cater to the student
population—but convenience isn't cheap.
These luxury apartments start at $1,175 for a
downstairs, 750 square foot apartment (1 bedroom, 1 bath). Even if students were to share
this, they would be paying at least $590.00
apiece.
Two bedrooms at Prominence start at $1,525
for 1,128 square feet. Price doesn't seem to be
a big concern for the complex. Prominence
representative Kelli Francis said that they get
plenty of students who share an apartment.
The only real problem is during Summer
breaks when students migrate back to their
hometowns. Students either need to break their
existing lease or illegally sub-lease the unit for
those cases. Francis said that although student
accommodations need to be made, "Prominence isflexibleand understanding. The community is diverse and students help that."
Even with an existing resident base, the
building still hasn't stopped at Prominence,
which is in the expansion process and is
expecting 130 more units in the next 6 months.
When they arefinishedthe complex will have
over 500 units available. Francis concluded,
"With all of the local developments popping
up, we don't even feel threatened by competition.... We get a lot of people in that are waiting
for their new home to be built."
Whether new developments are catering
to students or not, we can count on growth
to persist. Location is everything. As long as
there is a growing university and land to build
on, buyers see potential. Homes in San Diego
County alone put dollar signs in their eyes, and
a university in the area ensures any buyer of
community.

REGISTRATION
from page 1
encourage and facilitate
voting by our students."
By making voter registration easily accessible
on campus, ASI hoped to
play a role in reversing the
trend of low voter turnout
among 18-25 year olds. If
registered, students would
be more likely to show up
to voting booths, the proposal states.
A week before the start of
the spring semester, Roper
handed the proposal over
to Dr. Francine Martinez,
Vice President of Student
Affairs. According to Martinez, both she and Provost
Robert Sheath admired the
goal of the proposal. "Voter
registration was a critical
and important function for
the ASI to take on with the
university," she said.
However, Martinez and
Sheath raised some concerns about the proposal,
which resulted in its not
being executed as ASI had
hoped. First of all, there
was uncertainty regarding
the effectiveness of the
voter registration holders
located in classrooms. The
material provided in classrooms might be ignored,
and the faculty might not
be able to provide answers
for inquiring students,
Martinez said. Students
need "direct contact," she
said, and "to have simply
a stack [of papers] may not
be the most effective way
to bring that to students."
Martinez and Sheath
came up with an alternative, and urged ASI to
place the registration card
holders in areas of "high
traffic" around campus,
where students could ask
questions about the registration process and be
directed to ASI.
Roper acknowledges the
concerns over whether or
not the caddies would be
effective, and recognizes
the effort that Martinez
and Sheath gave in setting up other locations for
the registration caddies,
but asked, "How would
the university administration know whether or not
the plan would be effective unless they tested it?
Which they didn't allow to
happen."
Roper also said that
there were other concerns
regarding the proposal,
such as the possibility of
faculty members becoming
upset about the presence of
the caddies on their desks,
and that the caddies may
become a source of clutter in and/or around the
classroom. At an Academic
Senate meeting that Roper
attended in January, he said
that he passed out copies of
his proposal, and found
overwhelming
support
from faculty. "Only one
professor raised a hand to
express disapproval of the
proposal," he said.
Martinez said that since
faculty opinions on the
matter may be different,
she encouraged Roper
to identify individual
professors who would be
willing to participate in
the effort, and who would
both encourage students
to register and be open
to having the registration
material available in their
classrooms.
While the time has run
out for this proposal to
be implemented for these
coming elections, the issue
still remains an important
one to Roper. He plans to
pass the proposal onto the
next person elected as ASI
VP of External Affairs,
hoping that the proposal
will be pushed through for
the November elections.

The Affordability in
Higher Education Act
(HR3311) amends the
Higher Education Act of
1965 in order to establish a new "college affordability
index" for institutions of higher education, and create
new reporting requirements and penalties for institutions that increase tuition and fees by more than twice
the rate of inflation over any 3 year period.
The bill was introduced into the House of Representatives on October 16,2003 by Rep. Howard P. "Buck"
McKeon (R-CA) Chairman, U.S. House Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness and Rep. John A
Boehner (R-OH), Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
McKeon and Boehner's bill would not give the government any role in setting college costs, but beginning in 2011 the federal government would have the
option of removing direct subsidies to institutions that
repeatedly practice large tuition hikes.
HR3311 has been under review in the U.S. House
Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness since
November 11,2003.

The number of new teacher's credential candidates in 2001-02 in the
California State University system
has increased by a quarter to 12,700, which is a 45 percent increase
since 1998-99, as the CSU continued its trend of producing the
majority of new teachers for the state.
The CSU also continues to show that a majority of its graduates are
well educated in their subject matter in the annual evaluation survey
of CSU teacher preparation programs, which surveys California K12 principals.
The Cal State system has become the leader in alternative paths
to certification, through its internship program, which combine
teacher preparation coursework with full-time school district teaching jobs. It has also begun to recruit new and diverse students to
the teaching field through outreach programs to over 27,000 high
school, community college, and university student in the past year
which is a 70 percent increase from the previous year.
More details can be found in the Teacher Education 2003: The
Annual report on Teacher Education in the California State University. This Report and others are located at http://www.calstate.edu/
TeacherEd/annual_report/index.shtml.
On Thursday, February 19th, California State
University, Dominguez
Hills will host a student
rally in opposition to fee increases and program cuts in
state universities.
Students from community colleges and the CSU and
University of California systems are expected to participate. Leaders of higher education will speak about the
impact that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's 200405 budget proposal would have on students and also on
future students seeking admittance to state universities.
The concern is that the governor's proposal could limit
funding for CSU programs by 9 percent and raise tuition
for undergraduates by 10 percent as early as the 2004-05
academic year.
The rally is sponsored by Associated Students, Inc„ the
California Faculty Association, and C.O.R.E. For more

�ASI joins CSSA to oppose Gov.
Schwarzenegger's cuts to EOP
By ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride StaffWriter
Associated Students, Inc., voted in
favor of a resolution in support of EOP,
outreach, and academic preparation programs within the CSU system.
"Gov. Schwarzenegger has targeted
EOP to be cut from the CSU system,"
said Erik Roper, ASI vice president
of external affairs, "EOP is not equal
opportunity, it's education opportunity."
ASI will join California State Student
Association (CSSA) to oppose Gov.
"EOP is not
equal opportunity,
it's education
opportunity"
to find out how to get more campus
involvement.
The group proposed to increase advertising around campus, which would
include, passing out programming board
flyers at different locations of campus;
incorporate sound in the Dome television announcements; begin a newsbroadcasting channel; and continue
fighting against campus posting policy.
"There is an overwhelming blur of
posters. Involved students will stop and
take a look, but uninvolved students do
not," said O'Connor.
An additional proposal was to create
a "college hour" for activities to be
scheduled.
"One of the main complaints was
events scheduled during class time,"
said Lee.
A designated time for events will
avoid any conflict with class time.
ASI decided not to vote on a position
for taking a position on fee referendums.

explained that the perception the administration has regarding ASI is that they

�Kanji, crosses, dragons and names are popular designs keeping tattoo shops across

Zzzzzzzzzzzzt.
Dzzzt.
Dzzzt.
If you live life somewhere between
pleasure and pain, this may be one of your
favorite sounds.
Once reserved for sailors and whores
in American folklore, tattoos today have
carved their niche in the main stream as a
means of personal expression, style, and
body art.
According to Tod Bain, a lifetime artist,
and tattoo artist at About Face Tattoo in
Oceanside for over four years, most people
get tattoos right now because they are so
popular. Although this allure for tattoos
might make someone more open to getting
one, students at CSUSM seem to have a
few different reasons for acquiring permanent ink in their flesh.
"I've done martial arts for twenty-two
years," said senior, history, Duane Burns.
"It symbolizes my experiences in the martial arts." Burns has three Chinese symbols
on his right arm, and a dragon on his left.
In contrast, Sarah Sutton, junior, said,
"I woke up one morning and I needed a
tattoo." Sutton opted for . a color tattoo
in the middle of her upper back. As with
many students, her main hurdle for living
with her tattoo was her parents. Sutton said
that the first thing her mom said when she
found out about her tattoo was, "What are
you going to do on your wedding day?"
Senior Lora Rodstein, who got her first
of two tattoos seven years ago, had more
serious problems with her parents. "It's
against Judaism to desecrate your body like
that," said Rodstein. Luckily, her parents
have come to terms with her tattoos, and
she does not regret them.
On the other hand, some students get tattoos specifically for religious reasons, like
Les Condalor, who got a large tattoo of a
cross on his right arm about a year ago.
Some students, however, find less appeal
in the idea of being marked forever. Sophomore Alise Battaglia said, "I don't want
something on me for the rest of my life that
I might regret someday."
Battaglia's comment raises the question
of whether or not people who are more
established in life are getting tattoos, or
regretting them.
Local businesswoman Melinda Eisenhower, assistant vice president for a
property management corporation in San
Diego, got herfirsttattoo when she was 23.
At that time in her life, she said she recalled
thinking, "When they do an autopsy on me,
when I'm an old lady, they'll think I am
wild."
Even though Eisenhower had her first
tattoo "covered up," or altered, she has
gone in for two more tattoos since then, one
of which covers her entire back. The tattoo,
which she had done in the last year, is in
response to the passing of her husband. As
a healing practice, Eisenhower explained,
"It's a very transforming experience."
Although most students with tattoos
seem unconcerned with heir tattoos having
had a negative effect on their lives professionally or socially, they may have a few
kinks to work out in the future.
Eisenhower explained that she has never
had any trouble at work because of her tattoos, but relinquished that they also don't
really show. She is careful that they are
covered when she is meeting new clients.
As far as people she has encountered everyday, however, she has had a few negative
experiences.
Eisenhower said that once a woman in
a department store commented that she
was ignorant and stupid because she had
allowed herself to be tattooed. Eisenhower
also related other common incidents of
people seeing her tattoos and associating
that with her being an "easy" woman.
18-year-old freshman Keith Kramer,
had his last name tattooed on the back of
his arm in the last year because of what he
called a "spur of the moment thing."
For those interested in getting tattoos,
the process can be somewhat painful, and
involves tattoo machines, often called
"guns" by those less savvy to the industry.
The machines plug into a power supply,
and usually use between three and nine
needles depending on the thickness of the
line being drawn, and whether or not the
area is being shaded.
Tattoo artist Tod Bain has the right side
of his chest tattooed, his whole left arm,
called a sleeve, and most of his right arm
which is still a work in progress. Bain said
he obtained some of his tattoos because
they are symbolic of different things in
his life, and "some just 'cause I like 4 em."
Bain is also lucky enough to have a job
that he loves, his favorite part of which is,
"being able to express myself daily."
As far as cost, Bain said a tattoo would
probably run between $50 for something
small, and $4000 for a large piece, such as
back piece. Tattoos can be designed specifically for an individual, or chosen from
artwork called "flash" off of the wall of a
tattoo parlor.
Tattoos are a dynamic outlet for selfexpression that does require a cost/benefit
assessment.
"Make sure you know what you want,"
Bain said. "It's forever."

The Oxford dictionary defines
marriage as a "legal" union
between a man and a woman for
the purpose of "living together."
Dictionary.com has seven entries
relating to marriage, and only
one of them relates to man and
woman.
It's becoming a hotly contested
debate, and on one side there are
religious and spiritual leaders
adamantly opposed to same sex
marriages, quoting the bible and
referring to the destruction of
Sodom and Gomora. In their
eyes, God has decreed homosexuality a sin and any sign of
approval of such behavior is
clearly wrong according to God.
This group believes that gays and
lesbians "choose" this lifestyle,
that they weren't born this way
and could live a "straight" life
if they really wanted to. The
other side of the equation is the
gay community itself, trying to
obtain the same rights that married straight couples enjoy. As
persecuted as the gay community has been, they argue, why
would we choose this lifestyle?
What is the difference between a
man and a woman being married
for twenty years and a man and a
man, or a woman and a woman?
With
recent
debate
in Massachusetts on
this very
issue,
The Pride
hit
the
campus to
see what
the student pulse
is on this
contentious
issue.
"I'm all for it, I believe in the
sanctity of love, not institutions.
If we're as free a country as we
say we are, we shouldn't have
restrictions on how we love,"
said literature major Polly Charenquanchai.
Luis Arreola, junior, history
major, cocked his head to one
side and thought about it for a
moment, then said, "Nah, I don't
have a problem with gay marriage, as long as it makes those
people happy."
"They should be able to do
what they want to, I think equal
rights for everyone," said Ryan
Kennedy, graduate student, literature.
"They want everyone to
think like they do," he continued. "They're (religious groups
opposed to same-sex marriages)
afraid of people who think outside their belief system."
Jessica Fowler, junior business
major, paused and took time to
think before replying to how
she felt about gay marriage. "I
don't have a problem with gay
people, I have gay friends it's
just that...I'm unsure whether
it's right socially, biologically
or spiritually...I'm not sure it's
right for our society."
Paula McCoglan senior, communications, said, "I think the
government should get out of
the business of marriage, we
shouldn't allow the government
to favor one group over another."
McCoglan explained her solution as one where couples, two
consenting adults, present themselves to the government and
register as domestic partners.
The government then bestows
the same benefits heterosexual
couples receive through the
government through marriage
to samesex couples. If
a couple
wants
to get
m arried

they want to "marry."
McCoglan's
solution
of
registering domestic partners
sounds an awful lot like Oxfords
definition of marriage, minus
the exclusive "man and woman"
part.
This issue of debate probably
won't be solved tomorrow, but
more voices in the gay community are being heard. Not this
election, but sometime soon,
this issue will determine a presidency.

Cindy Pinhal is on exchange f rom France and assists the French department.
Pinhal has been on exchange since August, and enjoys the interactive approaches
to teaching she has found here in the states.
French connection with CSUSM
Highlighting some of the differences
with American andFrench universities
By ASHLEY RENZY
Pride Staff Writer
At a French University the
professor just shows up, lectures
and leaves; not leaving any time
for questions, feedback or office
hours.
"There is no syllabus, and no
attendance requirements," said
Cindy Pinhal. "School is completely the student's responsibility."
Cindy Pinhal is an assistant to
French professor Dr. Anover, on
exchange from France. CSUSM
offers study abroad programs to
students, as well as two different
teacher exchange programs.
After completing her master's,
Pinhal arrived to the United States
last August to assist in the teaching of a few French classes for the
spring semester. At the end of the
semester, Pinhal hopes to stay
here in the United States to finish
her Ph.D., or return to France for
a short while in high hopes of
attaining a teaching job at a university back here in the states.
Differentiating between the
French and American school
systems, Pinhal described how
college in France is not necessar-
ily easier, just focused differently.
In France, the competition is with
yourself more than with other
students.
At the end of high school in
France, before graduation, there
is a difficult exam, lasting one
week, to test skills acquired in
every subject. With passing this
exam, the student is automatically
registered in one of his or her top
three choices of universities. Students attending the university pay
$400 a year. The school days are
also much different from those in
America; classes go for an entire
year, rather than by semester. A
typical weekly school schedule
is Mon. through Fri., 8a.m. until
5p.m.
"There is no choice in customizing a class schedule," she said.
"As a result most students cannot
work during school and must live
with their parents."
Pinhal described the school
system in France as "very impersonal." "There is no personal contact with students," she said.
A more interactive education
leads to better grades, and in an
environment like this, if the students do not understand they can
ask questions during, class or can
go to the professor's office hours.
"These outside resources really
help them (students) to understand the subject matter better,"
she said.
"I love the way teaching is done
here," said Pinhal. "The only
thing I do not like is the instability
of the occupation. Here, there is
a lot to worry about with budget
cuts, competition and tenure."
"In France once you are hired
and go through a one-year training," she said. "You are certain
that you have your job for life
(and) that is a big security issue."
For the students currently
enrolled at CSUSM, Cindy Pinhal
personally invites you to come to
France.
"The more students that come
to France the better; it is a very
widespread and popular culture,"
she said. "Do not be discouraged
if you are not fluent in the language, because a lot of English is
spoken there as well."
Finance and Economic society meeting Wed.
By ALLISON SANSBURY
Pride Staff Writer
The Finance and Economic Society (formerly
known as the Finance Club), had its first membership meeting last Wednesday night, supplied with
extra pizza and soda.
An upcoming meeting will be held this Wednesday, Feb. 18, where Fred Gerson, chieffinancialofficer of the San Diego Padres, will be speaking to the
group about his job. More speakers are scheduled
to appear later this semester; both are chief financial advisers, one is from the San Diego Zoo and the
other is from the City of Carlsbad.
The Finance and Economic Society does a variety of things that range from helping students at Cal
State San Marcos control their personal finances,
handling company finances and helping students
find quality jobs after completing college.
The goal of the Finance and Economics Society,
as stated by president Greg Lucas, is "to benefit the
students without burdening them." Lucas said some
societies tend to put pressure on their members, and
the point of this society is to aid, not overwhelm,
students.
This is one of the many new clubs on campus and
would be ideal for students majoring in business,
although all majors are accepted and encouraged to
join the society.
The society's vice president of technology, Kat
Mulkahy, will give an upcoming seminar on managing personal finances.

Krav Maga attunes
self-defense tactics with
natural instincts
By JENNIFER JONES
Pride StaffWriter
If you were one of the
relatively few people to
see Jennifer Lopez kick
the crap out of her abusive husband in the movie
"Enough," you probably
thought to yourself, "yeah
right."
The technique Lopez
displayed is called Krav
Maga, and it is being
taught right here at
CSUSM.
Krav Maga is a practical
method of self-defense. It
combines the physical elements of traditional martial arts, but is designed
to rely more on a person's
instinctive defensive reactions to a street situation.
It has become a popular
form of self-defense
because it is easy to learn
and teaches the student to
use thier natural instincts
in a given situation.
Krav Maga also teaches
techniques to use while
under pressure, such as
low light, or even lying
down, because
such
circumstances are often
present in street confrontations. Krav Maga has
less to do with the tradition of martial arts, such
as bowing and other forms
of the art, which can be for
sport, but rather is more
reality based so that one
will have the skills to turn
natural reactions into life
saving moves. The only
fight there needs to be is
the last fight. One learns
that when in a vulnerable
or dangerous situation, to
use whatever means nec-
essary.
"The motto here is
attack, attack, attack,"
said Krav Maga instructor
Jeff Brown, "right, wrong,
it doesn't matter as long as
you hit 'em."
Jeff Brown is a decorated martial artist interested in bringing Krav
Maga onto the college
because, "Everyone, especially every female, should
know how to defend him
or herself."
For women that may be
kicking an attacker in the
groin. For men it may be
punching them in the nose
or throat. Brown tells his
students to "never give up
your weapon, because if
you give up your weapon,
you're dead." For law
enforcement officers that
might mean a-gun, in this
situation the weapon is
your body.
Brown said that most
attacks are against women;
"There is so much crime
and violence today and
everybody has the right to
defend themselves."
"I'm going home and
practice on my husband."
said Madaline Aragone,
junior, liberal studies.
Garrett Collin, a staff
member, is taking the
class to get more exercise,
"I'm going to try to stay
with it the whole time [six
weeks]."
Each class builds on the
previous but in the first
half there will be a review
of the basic techniques for
newcomers.
Krav Maga is just one
pf nine different classes
offered in the ASI Group
Fitness
and
Leisure
Courses program.
If
self-defense is not your
idea of fun, maybe trying
Ashtanga Yoga or Gypsy
Style Belly Dance would
be a better suit. Also
offered are more traditional fitness classes such
as Circuit Training or Step
Aerobics. These are just a
few of the different classes
available for students at
the Clarke Field House/
University Student Union.
All of these classes are
free to students, so why
not take advantage of
this opportunity to get in
shape and have fun.
"The ASI Leisure
and Fitness classes are a
great way for students,
faculty, and staff to stay
active, meet new people,
and explore new talents
they may not have known
they had," said Laurence
Bolotin, ASI coordinator
of student programs and
services.
The Krav Maga Martial
Arts class meets Tuesday
and Thursday from 6
p.m. to 7 p.m. There is no
registration required for
these classes. You can try
them all if you like, and
find the one that suits you
best. Students interested
in classes are advised to
come ten minutes early
to the class of choice, get
a wristband at the ASI
Adventure Center and
start having fun.
Some people are always looking for a
shortcut; or some sort of advantage that will
give an upper hand without much effort.
Typically, the reason being that there just are
not enough hours in the day to accomplish
everything that needs to be done; prioritization is crucial.
Some people strive to look physically
attractive, however, not all of these people
are willing to put in the extra effort needed
to lose weight or bulk up, because it takes
time, and a lot of effort. Time is something
many people do not have in their busy schedules.
The business world knows that the average person does not have the time to exercise
multiple hours in a day. Herbal companies
create supplements that contain ephedrine
(ephedra for short) designed to aid in weight
loss and body building for athletes. When
the average person looking to trim down
hears about these miracle products that
helps weight loss, he or she runs out and
tries it. What the average person does not
know is that ephedra based supplements are
extremely dangerous.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) there have been a total of 155
deaths linked to ephedra. One of those 155
deaths was Korey Stringer of the National
Football League (NFL). In 2002, Stringer
suffered a heart attack, and died moments
later during a pre-season workout with the
Minnesota Vikings. The cause of the heart
attack was linked to the combination of
excessive heat and ephedra.
In 2003, another one of the 155 deaths
occurred on a playing field. Steve Bechler
was a young, right-handed starting pitcher
in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the
Baltimore Orioles. Bechler was a little over
weight, and was taking an ephedra based
supplement to help lose some extra pounds.
During a spring training workout in Florida,
Bechler collapsed, and suffered a heat stroke
where shortly thereafter he died. Sales of
ephedra products dropped shortly after the
death of Bechler, but the product is still
being bought by many.
If athletes who should be physically superior to the normal person can die from using
ephedra, then the average person can suffer
complications just as easily.
The FDA has banned ephedra from being
sold after early April, which is consequently
causing many people to rush out and buy as
much of the supplement as possible before
the April 12 deadline. This ban on ephedra
will be the first ban of a diet supplement in
government history.
Metabolife was one of the companies
affected by the bad press. The company has
stopped the sale of ephedra supplements, but
Metabolife is sticking by their claim that
ephedra is safe to use.
"Metabolife believes their products are
safe and effective when used as directed,"
said spokeswoman Jan Strode.
With the ban on ephedra, another supplement is soon to be created to take its place.
The FDA has stated that they will keep a
close eye on what ingredients will be replacing ephedra. The NFL and MLB are two
organizations that will also be keeping a
close eye on the new supplements.
The NFL has always been very strict with
their substance abuse policy, which extends
to supplements such as ephedra. The MLB
has never had a substance abuse policy like
the NFL where players are required to take
drug tests, but MLB is changing its ways.
Starting this season, MLB will conduct drug
tests for the first time ever. It will be quite
interesting to see which players come into
this baseball season with a lot less muscle.
Athletes, however, are not the only ones who
feel the need to lose some weight.
Many college students turn to supplements in order to lose weight, especially
with the thought of becoming a victim of the
"freshman 15."
Professor at CSUSM, Ileen Miller, who
also works as a nutritionist for Cal-a-Vie
said, "The average student gains 15 pounds
freshman year." With the concern of weight
gain, some students may choose to take that
shortcut rather than exercise and carefully
watch what they eat.
Even if you are not an athlete, know what
you are putting in your body and ask yourself if taking that massive shortcut is worth
the risk.

Time changes
e verything
Time changes everything, which is
one thing you can count on in life.
Over the years, time seems to go
faster and slower. One day you are
sitting on the beach in Costa Rica,
next you are punching your thoughts
into a keyboard to meet deadlines.
During all of this, it's important to
set aside some time from the daily
hustle to say thank you.
Walking out of class and out to the
parking lot is a good time for that.
The sunset yesterday lined the
horizon with radiance after class.
Students finishing up for the day
flooded the walkways in a hurry to
exit the campus. What was next?
Rushing home to get ready for
work?
Slowing down for five seconds,
looking up to the sky and saying
thank you will give you a refreshed
perspective.
It makes people think about what
they have to be thankful for.
Then step into the car for the ride
home.
Taking the time to slow down will
make the ride easier, smarter and
more enjoyable.
It's like smelling the air after it
rains. These are the things that we
should take the time to notice.
With everything that happens at
this campus, being late for classes,
rushing through traffic, cars and
construction, it's important to just
stop.
See that golden glow of sun, smell
that wet air, say thank you.

Superstores such as Wal-Mart
have become such a part of
our retail landscape that many
cannot imagine what life was
like before them. It takes me 10
minutes to get on the freeway at
my entrance when it used to take
2 minutes. The days of mom and
pop stores are left to the memories of, well, our moms and our
pops. And if they came over to
visit they would definitely complain about the traffic too.
These superstores have everything, a large selection of most
of what we need for our daily
lives, all at affordable prices and
with the great convenience of
everything in one place. Some
of us may remember even a few
years ago, when large stores
such as Kmart and Pic N ' Save
were going strong. The only
advantage to these stores was
price. Typically, they were a
mess and most of the merchandise was junk. If your Mom
bought your school clothes
there, you were not cool and you
knew it. The other kids in your
school knew it too.

carries are becoming less and
less. In addition, today's WalMart is stocking the latest CDs
and home electronics, all at
very competitive prices. Everything is in its place, the piles
of j unk we remember at chain
stores even a few years ago are
nowhere in sight at today's WalMart. These superstores are not
lazy, either. They are working
very hard to fill in the holes
and offer us more and more,
all at great prices and in great
supply, so you can always find
what you're looking f or—price,
convenience, selection and quality, all in one. So we all win,
right? Yes and no. All of this
convenience and affordability
comes at a cost.
You don't have to be that old
to remember the stores in your
community that your local
Wal-Mart replaced.
After
all, people have always needed
socks, toothpaste and the latest
Brad Pitt or Julia Roberts movie.
So where have all the old stores
gone? They have disappeared.
The idea of a local merchant
whose name you knew and who
knew yours is as much a part of
history as the local soda shop.
When we consider quality of
life, when we think about the few
extra dollars lining our pockets
because of cheaper superstore
prices, we should not forget
the enjoyment of shopping, the
comfort of personal service and
sales people and merchants who
knew their products and their
customers. The experience of

smaller, more comfortable setting cannot be matched by the

So while we may be
thankful for those few dollars
a week we save by shopping
at Wal-Mart, we should ask
ourselves what have lost in the

down to passing the people

I do not want to characterize
myself as a harbinger, but that
is my feeling this week. After
sharing my thoughts on the
errors in our newspaper in last
week's column, it seems like I
sparked an exponential growth
of errors in this week's edition.
In fact, I was so troubled by the
increase that I felt compelled to
do some research into how other
ombudsmen handle the subject
of errors.
Gina Lubrano is the Readers
Representative for the San Diego
Union-Tribune. Her column
from January 12, 2004 dealt
specifically with the subject of
errors. In a no nonsense statement, Lubrano opens her column
by stating simply "it would be a
mistake to say errors in newspa-
pers are inevitable." From that,
I thought about how to apply
Lubrano's idea to what I had
written last week.
I would agree with Lubrano
that there should be no "inevitable" errors. In other words, there
should never be a time in which
we, as reporters and editors of
this publication, default to accept
that there will be some errors in
each edition of The Pride. Each

Race matters at CSUSM
By JASON ROBBINS
Pride StaffWiiter
There is little doubt that society is
as equal as it should be. But could
inequality fester within the halls of
our own cozy university? In a place
where a statue of Cesar Chavez
seems to welcome all, inequality is
indeed a reality.
The term "inequality of condition"
refers to differences in people's
living standards or conditions.
The distribution of those enrolled
in college is just one measure
of such standards. At CSUSM,
certain ethnic/racial groups are not
distributed in proportion to their
overall population size.
As of fall 2003, the student
body was 53 percent Caucasian,
18.04 percent Latino, 9.4 percent
Asian and 2.7 percent African
American. The problem here is that
California's population is 59 percent
Caucasian, 32.4 percent Latino,
10.9 percent Asian, and 6.7 percent
African American (U.S Census).
For whatever sociological or
conservative reason you may want to
offer up, the distribution of Latinos
and African Americans within our
student body is not proportionate to
those groups presence in California.
The disproportions equate to
an inequality of condition with
the condition being educational
LETTERS TO TH
I noticed a few things in the
Feb. 3rd issue that I'd like to
discuss. Budget cuts seemed
to be the topic of the day in
the recent issue, and we were
advised by the Chancellor to
support proposition 55, a measure
that would allow bonds to help
"balance" the budget. This is
akin to using a credit card to pay
your late rent. I'm actually quite
surprised that the Chancellor
could support this kind of
financial irresponsibility in a
budget crisis such as this.
Which brings me to my
fact and quote must be checked
to ensure that accuracy is maintained.
As student journalists, we
cannot afford to appear sloppy
or apathetic towards errors and
must proactively address the
topic. Indeed, most of the errors
that I write come from my own
critique of The Pride or from
the editor or reporter who has
worked on the particular story
in question. That fact stresses
our commitment to accuracy
and accountability when we
have erred. After all, as Lubrano
explains, "credibility is at stake."
And credibility is something that
will do the best job. An alarming
number of Republicans felt that
Tom McClintock was the better
candidate, yet they voted for the
Terminator because he had a
better chance to win.
Many Democrats were upset
with the shady financial dealings
of Cruz Bustamante, yet seemed
to have no problem voting for
his lack of integrity. Even Peter
Camejo talked about the ISSUES,
while the 2 biggest candidates
slung mud. In addition, many
of my classmates remind me
how the Terminator is a horrible
attainment.
The relationship between race/
ethnicity and higher education
exhibited at CSUSM is endemic to
the nation itself. Out of 17,408,664
American college students, 71.5
percent are White, 10.6 percent are
Latino, and 7 percent are AfricanAmerican.
Yet the American
populace is 12.5 percent Latino and
12.3 percent African American. The
same type of disproportionate ethnic
representation at CSUSM appears to
exist at colleges across America.
An inequality of condition
of educational attainment is
exceptionally significant because
college degrees yield social
resources: money, prestige, etc. For
minority groups who hold lesser
shares, education is one way to
achieve more social equality. It is
clear that the instrument of change
is most accessible to the most
powerful and wealthy. To attain
positions of organizational authority
(where power often resides), one
must necessarily earn some type
of college degree.
One must
also possess a degree in order to
accumulate substantial wealth (how
power is often purchased).
Moreover for groups who wish
to initiate positive social change,
higher education is an excellent
tool. The problem at CSUSM and
throughout the nation is that the
distribution of African Americans,
Latinos and other minority groups
in college is a condition that needs
to be adjusted. First someone must
properly address the cause(s) of such
inequalities. Maybe not all people
have an equal opportunity to be
welcomed by Cesar Chavez.

of, how many of us actually
write our elected representatives
to let them know how their
constituents feel? We must never
forget that they serve us, not the
other way around.
The pride needs to get the
message out. Get the sheep off
their couches, and get them
to the ballot box. Get them
to the post office, enormous
stacks of correspondence to
their representatives in hand.
I've written to mine, voicing
opposition to more borrowing to
"balance" the budget.
I challenge all of you who
disagree with me to fight for your
views, as well. After all, that's
what representative democracy is
all about.

�Eat your heart out Hallmark; Shakespeare
brings the love
By JONATHON RODLEY
Pride StaffWriter
The fat belly and red wings of Cupid
idled on the wall looking out at 30 or
so students enamored by Shakespeare
Thursday night.
CSU San Marcos students read all
154 of Shakespeare's "Sonnets" in
honor of Valentine's day.
"Not marble, not the gilded
monuments / Of princes, shall
outlive this powerful rhyme" quoted
Shakespeare in the fifty fifth of his
love poems.
The Medieval Roundtable Club
hosted the poetry marathon to provide
an alternative to a typical "hallmark"
event.
"We decided to have something a
little more intellectual," said Bridget
Wiese, president of the club.
Instead of red roses and fluffy love
poems, the club handed out condom
roses and lubricants during the
reading.
Wiese said the poems are f ull of
darkness, pain and sexual affairs.
Many people read the "Sonnets"
thinking Shakespeare wrote them to a
woman. In reality, he wrote them to
fair young man, she said
Throughout the reading children ran
in and out of the room playing games,
while couples huddled and friends
mingled.
It took about two hours to complete
the sonnet cycle.
"I think it went really well, we had a
great turnout," Wiese said.
The Medieval Roundtable Club
plans to host several film viewings
later this semester with Dr. Heather
Hayton's classes.

�CSUSM Professor speaks at San Diego's
Fourteenth Annual Jewish Film Festival
Dr. A lyssa Goldstein Sepinwall
By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ
Pride StaffWriter
A positive atmosphere and a huge turn
out met history professor, Dr. Alyssa
Goldstein Sepinwall on Thursday Feb. 12
at the AMC La Jolla, as she became the
first ever CSUSM scholar to host a showing of a film at the San Diego Jewish Film
festival, now in its fourteenth year.
The film that was shown, titled "Secret
Passage," is on "a great topic," said Sepinwall who has been a professor at CSUSM

Venitian Noble Paulo Zane stares offscreen at Clara while being tipped off
to Isabel's schemes.
"Seeing the 16th century brought back
to life will provide details about the way
people act that you can't get from books,"
Sepinwall said. She said this film could
help students to understand "the human

ents at a young age.
They are forced to convert to Catholicism while living in Spain yet they continue to remain faithful to their Jewish
faith by practicing in private. As such,
they still feel the pressure of living in
the overwhelmingly Catholic European
continent.
The sister's lives become filled with
conflicts as Isabel tries to escape and move
the family to Istanbul.
Clara falls in love with a Venetian noble,
Paolo Zane played by John Turturro. Clara,
not wanting to leave her lover, allows her
emotions to overcome both her faith and
her loyalty to her sister and writes a letter
to the count of Venice outlining Isabel's
plan of escape.
The story ends as Isabel is arrested
while Clara, now repentant for what she
has done, completes the task of moving
her family to Istanbul. Isabel goes to her
death denying the cross of Christ and
vocally declaring her allegiance to Judaism as she is drowned.
In a question and answer session following the film, Sepinwall said that the
film was "historically based" although the
story is unique to the film.
An interesting perspective brought up
in the discussion was that of relations
between Jews and non-Jews in 16th century Europe.
"Sexual relations between Jews and
non-Jews were a big anxiety for the
authorities," Sepinwall said.
That explanation relates why Clara
could have possibly chosen her family
over her love at the end of the film.
Sepinwall who received forty tickets
to the film festival for her students paid
for by the Funes Fund, which provides
moneys so that students can attend visual
and performing arts events, was excited
about student involvement.
"Its great going to the festival with the
community, it's a vibrant and lively experience that is a major event," she said.
Sepinwall especially enjoys films that
have discussion afterwards, "hearing
people ask questions and hearing their
responses gives an experience that seeing
a film in class just doesn't do."
'Hidalgo': an American
legend
ByMARKPERRERA
Pride StaffWriter
In the theater the air is filled with anticipation and suspense, not from waiting for the movie to start but from
walking back and forth trying to find a seat. I'm at an
advanced screening for the film "Hidalgo."
The movie is based on the true story of the life of
Frank T. Hopkins a.k.a. Blue Child and his wild mustang,
Hidalgo.
Viggo Mortensen of "Lord of the Rings" fame plays
Hopkins as a savage, wild and rugged man who is just
as tough as his horse; The bond between Hopkins and
Hidalgo is one that surpasses all human understanding.
They are best friends and they are brothers.
The story begins when Blue Child, who is Caucasian
and Native American, witnesses the massacre of his
people by the cavalry at the Battle of Wounded Knee.
Struggling to find his place in American culture, Blue
Child drinks constantly and he is always drunk when he
performs on the "Wild Bill Hickock" show with Hidalgo.
It is during one such performance that an Iraqi sheik
becomes offended by Hopkins' billing. Wild Bill
announces him as the world's greatest rider on the most
famous horse.
The sheik then challenges Blue Child to prove himself
in the 3,000 mile race across the desert sands of Syria and
the Arabian Desert called the Ocean of Fire. The victor is
to walk away with $100,000.
Throughout the film there are twists and turns that kept

the audience on the edge of their seats.
It is action and suspense all rolled in together as
Hidalgo and Hopkins narrowly escape the dangers of this
race.
The climax rises and falls from scene to scene until
finally, the moment everyone we were waiting for, a horn
sounds as the horses are seen in the distance approaching
the finish line.
Don't leave your seats to get popcorn because you will
miss out on a great ending.

Viggo Mortensen plays Frank T. Hopkins a legendary American cowboy who raced across the Arabian
Desert in a 3,000 mile survival race.
This film is not j ust about horse races or a man's personal search to put the pieces of his life together. Its not
just about the bond between a man and his horse.
It is much more.. .see for yourself.

The recycling program at the
University Village Apartments
depends on students to care about
the environment and lend a hand.
According to the Assistant
Director for Residence Life
Angela Grundy, the UVA is
required by law to meet a standard
50 percent recycling rate. That is,
at least half of the waste from the
University Village Apartments
must be recycled. If this standard
is not met, the UVA could be
fined up to $10,000.
Prior to Jan. 20, 2004 there
were no recycling bins in the
apartments as there are now.
Residents had to lug their
recyclables to the dumpster on
their own, without any bins to
remind them to do so.
This led to some students
dumping their recyclables in with
the rest of their trash. This was
most likely the reason the UVA
did not meet their last standard
requirement and decided to place

With the passing of
Pride StaffWriter
Proposition 55, Cal State
San Marcos would receive
roughly $9 million toward the
renovation of Craven Hall, as well as the furnishing of
the college of business.
If approved on election day in March, Proposition 55
would allocate $2.3 billion to be used to fund major
construction and renovation throughout California's
higher educational system. California is experiencing
rapid growth as a state, forcing administrators to find
ways to accommodate such quick growth. Pressing
enrollment growth over the past decade has made
it vital to fix old and outdated classrooms, enlarge
facilities, and construct new classrooms to meet
existing student needs at CSU campuses—as well as
California Community Colleges and UC campuses.
There is seldom an adequate amount of dollars in
the state budget to fund large expansions of the higher
education system such as this. School construction is a
direct investment in the local economy. Studies show
Proposition 55 will produce hundreds of thousands of
new jobs and add billions in local economic activities
all over California. Funds can only be spent to revamp
or construct schools, not on administration.
Opposition to Propostion 55 states that Calfornia is
already in debt and should not take more on. The bond
requires that schools provide 40 percent of the total
cost so schools without the funds will miss out. Also,
Los Angeles, a city with 12 percent of California's
students, would receive 25 percent of the money.
—»•inHmii
Over the past three years,
California state spending has significantly exceeded tax revenues.
Proposition 57, the "Economic
Recovery Bond Act," to be proposed to voters on the
March 2 ballot, initiates a $15 billion bond in order to
pay off the state's accumulated general fund deficit as of
June 30, 2004. The measure will only pass if voters also
approve Proposition 58, the "California Balanced Budget
Act."
The recovery bond is designed to prevent drastic
cuts from education and health care programs, as well
as potential dramatic tax increases otherwise likely to
cover the current debt. Proponents note that in addition
to heading off budget shortages, the bond will consolidate
much of the state's debt into one lump sum. Those in
opposition to the bond claim that it will cost more than
$2,000 per family, and instead suggest that the legislature
should be called upon to reign in spending they see as out
of control.
_ Ultimately funded by the people of California, "The
repayment of the bond would result in annual General
fund costs equivalent to one-quarter percent of California's sales tax revenues," said the Secretary of State's
Legislative Analyst. It would take between 9 and 14
years to pay back the bond.
Essentially, this proposition gives the state government
a one-shot, large sum of money to be used now, in order
to reduce the immediate budget deficit, as opposed to collecting it gradually over time, via annual taxation.

Gov. Schwarzenegger
called Proposition 58
"the never-again spending
limit." If only it were that
simple. Titled "The California Balanced Budget Act,"
Proposition 58 includes an arsenal of provisions aimed
at achieving a higher level of fiscal responsibility in
Sacramento.
Proposition 58 would amend California's constitution
with changes that would not be subtle. While the
governor is currently only required to propose a
balanced Budget, Proposition 58 would force him or her
to propose and enact a balanced budget.
Another budget-related provision under Proposition
58 compels the legislature and governor to act swiftly
in times offiscalemergency. Under such circumstances
the legislature would have 45 days to complete a bill
concerning the emergency. If the deadline were to
pass without a bill, work on all other bills would be
suspended until the emergency bill was completed and
presented to the governor.
Appealing to those who own piggy-banks,
Proposition 58 would establish the Budget Stabilization
Account. Money transfers would be ordered from the
state's general fund into the new account until a certain
balance is met. Much of the money in this new account
would then be devoted to deficit payments.
Proposition 58 would also prohibit the state from
engaging in long-term borrowing arrangements. The
proposition's opponents see this component as being
rather useless in that it preserves the short-term
borrowing arrangements they feel are troublesome..

En-large-ment ads
leaving consumers limp
Penis. Dick. Weiner. Johnson.
There are thousands of different names
we can call a man's genitalia; and
according to the recent wave of Internet
advertisements, there are thousands of
ways to add on inches.
These days, you can be sure that before
hearing the words "you've got mail,"
various pop-ups for penis enlargement
remedies on the computer screen
appear. That is because there are over
18,000 products on the market catering
to guys that want a bigger and better
package. These products range from
the $20 penis pump to the $300 bottle
of Virility (one of many "all-natural"
male enhancing supplements). To add
to the list, there are also penis weights
for those interested in the stretching
technique and penis muscle exercisers
for those guys who work out. For the
man looking to increase the beast, these
ads seem convenient; however, usage
of any of these products may leave
him unfulfilled and broke.
Dr. Steven Bates of student health
services, said that many of the
products related to the penis enlargement
propaganda have not been medically
accepted nor FDA approved. The products
claiming to be "all-natural" supplements
borrow a mixture of herbs with various
functions (Ginseng for stamina, Yohimbe
for weight-loss, etc).
These companies then stuff the list of
herbs into a capsule and tell the consumer
that his penis will grow about 30 percent
within three to six months. Most of
these supplements, however, will give the
consumer a 90 day guarantee or refund
Photo by Sarah Carlin¡The Pride
Penetrating e-mail accounts nationwide, male member enhancement advertisements may leave consumers a little less than satisfied.
your money. In other words, by the time
he realizes that his penis has not grown
an inch, the guarantee has expired, and the
company keeps the money.
Besides the fact that this market lacks
a promising warranty, an herb can react
in an individual's body very negatively,
especially when mixed with other herbs.
"Herbs can be the cause of hypertension,
fatigue, and G.I. (gastrointestinal)
problems —- like diarrhea (side effects)
can be present when mixed with one's
metabolism," Bates said.
Results vary from person to person. The
only certain way to add on inches to a
penis is through surgery. That would
only be recommended for specific
cases, cases that are not cosmetic, but
reconstructive. But even surgery is risky,
Bates said
So what makes us, as a society, so
fascinated with size? Sex sells. Media
definitely plays an important
roll with movies like "Austin Powers,"
which jokes about a penis pump,
and associates Austin Powers as being
a huge ladies man. We can also give
credit to the adultfilmindustry with all of
the publicity that Ron Jeremy gets for his
gigantic moneymaker.
Sarah Wymer, sophomore, said that
unfortunately, yes, size does matter.
"Our society's obsession with size
probably stems from women who are
always supposed to be small with big
boobs," Wymer said. "Men are depicted as
being big, with a big penis."
Wymer said she does not think products
on the market are credible according to
their advertisements. She said, "I think
they are just gimmicks sold to poor guys
with low self-esteem."
Junior Jason Nichols said, "Bigger is
relative to cold weather," and that bigger
does not necessarily mean better, especially
if the previous guy was bigger.
Nichols said, "If you want bigger
equipment, lose the beer belly."
If you do decide to take the bait on
these enhancement ads or even surgery,
investigate the risk factors and know
your motives. The American Urological
Association and the American Society
for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery have
surgical remedies for amputated penises,
penises damaged by car accidents, animal
bites, birth defects and other serious cases.
They do have policy statements against cos
metic procedures.
For more information on this topic or
topics on sexual responsibility please
visit Student Health Services. Faculty
from Student Health Services will be
in Founders Plaza to promote sexual
responsibility Tuesday, Feb. 10, and
Wednesday, Feb. 11, between 10 a.m. and
1 p.m. They will be selling condom roses
and passing out safe sex pamphlets.
Looking for romance in cyberspace may not be that weird
By CHELSEA GEORGE
Pride Staff Writer
As February 14 approaches, many single
students are probably wondering just
whose going to be their Valentine. Some
are even turning to alternative methods,
such as online dating, to find that special
someone.
To some, the thought of dating someone met online may send shivers down
the spine. Perhaps questions like how
could I go on a date with someone I've
never met? And what if they're lying
about who they really are? might course
through your head. Perhaps pictures of
some scary psycho murderer hunched over
a keyboard goflashingthrough your mind.
Or as freshman Kaylan Bland said, "That's
creepy."
Others mayfindonline dating unnatural.
They may miss that spark when eyes connect for the first time; the initial meeting
leaving your head spinning for days.
"When you meet someone it should just
happen," said Elise Battaglia, sophomore.
And after all, there isn't a fairytale that
reads, "and then prince charming put out a
personal ad."
There are those who might feel that
online dating is for the desperate and the
unattractive. It's the only excuse there can

There is no charge to browse through

I searched for guys within 50 miles of

I ended up with 50 pages of pictures and

yelling at my roommate to come stare

decided to read his profile. It just so happened that we have a ton in common, so I
put him on my favorites list and continued
to search.
While skimming through the pages
there were no scary creepy people to be

With only 20 pages down, I decided to
call off my search with 5 potential guys on

t eam qualified for a spot in this year's state championship competition.
Brust and Chris Parrinello also
helped the team qualify. The
Cream Team took seventeenth
place in the rakings with 1748
points qualifying them for a
shot at the title.
"I hope they can have a
strong showing,," Puha said.
She added that coming from a
strong performance at the last
event in Huntington Beach, the
momentum might just carry
over to the state championships
in March.
She also said that the talent
that these kids have hasn't
been seen at it's full potential
yet. The student body of the
CSUSM campus has something
to be proud of in these two
teams. These guys and gals are
a force to be reckoned with after
posting their bestfinishesof the
year.
The road to having a Surf
Team at CSUSM is a very hard
one. It takes a tremendous
amount of work both by students who are on the surf team
and advisor Puha who devotes
both time and effort. The leadership on the team is outstanding and they are a great group,
Dr. Puha said.
Alumni, ASI, as well as

CSUSM expanded its list of club teams
last November when the Women's Softball
Team formed itself and began pre-season
workouts.
They practiced rigorously for nearly
two months and opened up their inaugural
season with a 15-2 lopsided win over Mt.
San Jacinto College Jan. 12.
A blowout win against intercollegiate
competition is a great achievement for any
club team, and proved to be the ideal way to
open up the season.
The next two outings weren't quite as
glorious as the first; the team dropped
both games of a double-header against
International Hope of Faith. The losing
streak didn't last long though, and was
snapped in the very next game against
Orange Coast College with a close 6-4
triumph.
The Women's Softball team now finds
themselves at .500 with a 2-2 record.
"Not bad considering half of the squad
hadn't played in nearly 5 years," said Head
Coach Fermin Cardoza Sr. Cardoza has
been coaching girl's softball for the last
15 years through Vista Girls Softball and
needed for liability insurance,
entry fees, and other costs have
to come from fund raising by
students.
One idea is to host a "surf
flick" night at the Clarke field
house. By paying a small fee,
students can come and help the
surf team reach their goal of
$700 to cover the state championship fees. People interested
in helping can contact Laurence
Bolotin, director of Student
Programs.
Expect great things in the
future with the ASI/CSUSM
Surf Team, because as the
campus grows so will this
popular program.
Inaugural
season for
sofibaH is off
to an even
start
Travel Ball, and hopes to end the Cougar's
inaugural season with a winning record.
The team is looking forward to the
National Softball club team tournament at
the end of April.
Catcher Alison Sansbury said she is
looking forward to the tournament. "We
are a young Cougar dynasty and this
tournament will pit us against other club
teams and will show just exactly how good
we are," she said.
Cardoza said, "Definitely, they have come
a long way since we first started practicing,
"It's like night and day," he said.
With spring on the horizon, America's favorite pastime is almost upon
us, which means the second season of
Cougar baseball will be getting under
way.
CSUSM offers three intercollegiate
sports (Cross country, Track and Field,
and Golf), but those are not the only
sports available to students.
2003 was the inaugural season for
Cougar baseball, which was a successful season by all standards for a first
year team. There will be six returning
players from last years squad, including one sophomore, one junior, and
four seniors.
Head Coach JJ Koon said, "We
are very excited about the upcoming
season. We are building off a .429
winning percentage, with a record of
§ix wins and eight losses."
Last season the Cougars participated in very high scoring games. The
Cougars had the second best scoring
offense, and allowed the third fewest
runs out of six teams in the Metal Bat
Division.
In the first game, of a 14 game
season, they blew out the San Diego
Black Sox with a 17-2 victory. The
Cougars continued to put up big scores
on their opponents all throughout the
year; the team averaged 10 runs per
game in the final six games, while
finishing strong, winning four out of
those six contests. The Cougars scored
seven runs or more on seven different
occasions throughout the year. The
teamfinishedthe season tied for third
place in their division, and this year
the returning players expect only to
improve upon last year's success.
The Cougars play games Sundays on
Varsity Fields at various North County
High School locations. The team is
part of the North County section of
the Men's Adult Baseball League
(MABL). The North County section
contains several independent baseball
teams from other universities like San
Diego State, and other independent
teams in the greater San Diego area.
The Cougars are looking for athletic
men tofillout the roster, which is currently voided by the eight seniors who
were on the team last season. Try-outs
will be held on February 21, at 1:30pm,
on the campus of Mira Costa Community College in Oceanside. There will
also be a team meeting that anyone is
welcome to attend. The team meeting
is tentatively scheduled for the second
week of February in the Founders
Plaza.

the upcoming team meeting, and/or

In 2001, the popular
men's magazine, Maxim,
surveyed 1000 women
and asked them what they
want in a man. The top
answers given were: kindness, warmth, attentiveness, commitment, sense
of humor, and shared
values. Out of all the various answers in the survey
there was not one woman
who said they want a huge
penis.
Maxim magazine is not
a scientific medical journal; however, they are correct in informing men that
the size of a man's package
is of no consideration to
women.

According to an
interview with Steven
N. Grange, MD on

said, "Men in general did
not have a distorted view
of what's a normal penis
size until a study published
in Sept. 1996 Journal of
Urology concluded that
the average flaccid penile
length was 3.5 inches, and
average erect length was 5
inches."
It is as if the marketing
and advertising industry
has just been waiting for
this information to create
a complex in the male
psyche just like it has
been doing to women for
decades.
If you are a women, you
know you are bombarded
everywhere you look with
images of the so-called
"perfect shape."
Fashion, cosmetic, and
diet industries make billions of dollars each year
off the insecurities they
have created in women.
Now it seems they have
the perfect recipe to do the
same thing to men. Tell
men that they don't measure up if they can't stretch
out to a hefty 10 inches on
a ruler; get a sexy women
to say how pleasurable a
big penis is, and then offer
a must-have remedy.
Whether you are a man
or woman, you can decide
for yourself whether you
think it is right, or even
about time, that men are
now being targeted by
this type of marketing that
feeds off the insecurities it

L ETTERS T O T HE E DITOR
The opening of Kellogg
Library this semester has created
a sense of excitement among
CSUSM faculty and students
alike. In fact, I have been so
excited about the opening of
the new library that whenever I
am in the building I experience
frequent urination. Thefirsttime
this sense of urgency hit me,
I was thrilled to check out the
new bathroom facilities in the
library. To my dismay, I found
the experience to be less than
mediocre.
I have visited three bathrooms
in the new library, one on the
firstfloor,two on the second.
These bathrooms all have doors
that do not properly latch—-and
when I have to go I don't have
time to fumble with door locks.
Consequently, I have been
forced to relieve myself in
front of classmates. To make
matters worse, often times these
bathrooms lack seat covers and
toilet paper, too. So not only am
I the girl who pees with the door
open, I'm the girl who doesn't
use seat covers or toilet paper.
I usually make afinalsanitary
attempt before I leave the library
restrooms, but as I pump the
dispenser for soap I don't even
get a bubble, and when I go to
dry my hands, the paper towel
dispensers are jammed.
The other day, on the way to
the bathroom I was really down
in the dumps. I felt like things
just couldn't get worse. And
then I found a friend. Inside the
first floor bathroom in the new
library I met Karen, a quiet girl,
head in hands, sobbing on the
ground next to the sink. Scooping
away days of trash and paper
towels, I leaned down next to
her and asked what was wrong.
Karen told me she was having a
feminine emergency and ran to
both bathrooms on the second
floor of the library and, in a third
final attempt, tried thefirstfloor
bathroom for a vending machine
to buy a product. Karen found
nothing of the sort. You can find
Karen in this same spot, because
she vowed to me she wouldn't
leave the bathroom until someone
recognizes the importance of
such machines and installs one.
On a more serious note: I don't
understand why these brand
new bathrooms, in a state of the
art library, have dysfunctional
door latches and paper towel
dispensers. Out of the three
women's restrooms I have visited,
not one has a feminine product
vending machine, either. I find
a more serious problem lies in
the fact that these un-stocked
restrooms are not cleaned on a
daily or even bi-daily schedule,
forcing us to use stained toilets
while we stare at dirty pieces of
trash on thefloorthat we first
noticed days ago. The library is
a new, beautiful facility—and
students should be just as
overjoyed to use the restrooms
as they are to sip a Frappuccino
from Starbuck's or receive a free
Kellogg spill-proof mug.

Employers love marketable skills.
To Student Advocates here at
CSUSM:
Our governor has recently
proposed budget cuts which
will directly target the Student
Support Services and Educational
Opportunity Program (SSS and
EOP) in the Cal State system.
These programs provide much
needed support for low-income,
first generation students through
a wide variety of services
while focusing on academic
success, student perseverance
and retention rates. EOP gives
support to students who need
all the assistance they can get.
These programs are the key to
promoting educational equality
and access to higher education,
essential issues the CSU system
adamantly claims to protect.
As a team teacher for the WMST
101 class for many of the first
year EOP students on this
campus, I work directly with
these underrepresented students.
Asfirstgeneration college
students, those involved in EOP
often face obstacles that often
include economic hardship,
cultural and language barriers,
and lack of support both in the
home and at the university.
Cutting the EOP program would
be detrimental not only to
those students who rely on the
program to receive the education
which they deserve, but also
for the overall atmosphere of
the CSUSM community as a
whole, which prides itself on its
diversity.
As a student advocate
dedicated to the preservation of
educational quality and access,
I am outraged. Outraged at'our
governor's lack of concern for
students who desperately need
support services. Outraged
that his budget cuts hit to the
heart of the higher education .
system. Outraged that he seeks
to disenfranchise those whom
have worked so hard to get where
they are. Outraged that there are
not enough of our voices being
heard
I support the CSSA resolution
which protests these actions. I
encourage all of us to remain
steadfast in our dedication
to petitioning to stop the
elimination of the CSU Outreach
and EOP programs. Please
flood the governor's office
with letters in protest. Call
Sacramento and tell him how
we feel. We must continue
thefightfor student rights and
never give in- or give up.

Fraternities and sororities from San
Diego State University that were scheduled to perform a step show in honor
of Black History Month failed to arrive
Friday, Feb. 6 at the Dome Plaza. A troop
of steppers from El Camino high school,
who had attended the show as guests,
their gratitude by cheering riotously and
giving the girls a standing ovation.
"Rhythmic stomping to demonstrate
unity, talent, and organizational pride,"
said Dilcie D. Perez, associate director of
multicultural programs and community
outreach. That is precisely what the step
show was all about.
The stomping and clapping which
made up the dance created an infectious rhythm which accompanied by the
dancer's frequent shouts and cheers, such
as "deep in Alabama" and "unity" had a
very musical feel.
Observers became participants and
everyone displayed a high level of enthusiasm and support with their laughter,
applause and cheers.
At the conclusion of the event, Perez
reminded students that change starts on
a small scale. It begins with the student
voice.
The unique exhibition of stomping tied
together with the crowd's involvement
achieved an important goal for Black
History month: that of unity.

Twentieth Century Fox's upcoming
movie "The Girl Next Door," directed by
Luke Greenfield, had the theater echoing
with laughter at a recent press screening.
The movie debuts March 12 as one of
the few romantic comedies that I wouldn't
classify as a chick flick. Guys can expect to
see plenty of eye candy which you would
expect from a movie about a high school
kid dating a porn star.
A senior at Westport High School,
Matthew, played by Emile Hirsch, dreams
of becoming a politician, and the most
exciting thing in his life is his acceptance
to Georgetown University. That is until he
falls for the new girl next door, Danielle,
played by Elisha Cuthbert.
She is gorgeous, she is fun and she brings
out his adventurous side. She also happens
to be a former porn star.
Mathew has plans for a whirlwind of
a week which includes senior prom, a
scholarship competition and the arrival
of an exchange student. Unfortunately,
all these events are put on hold when
Danielle's former director comes to take
her back to the industry.
Their days are filled with random
misadventures as Matjhew realizes he's so
in love that he would do anything to keep
Danielle and get her out of the business,
even steal.
Although the characters in this film are
your typical teen movie clichés, the popular
crowd, the nerds and the in-betweens the
plot was surprisingly unfamiliar.
If you want a feel good, goof-off movie
to go hit up with all your friends I would
definitely recommend that you see this
film.

adjusted from general parking to

According to Rick Moore,
director o f communication, there

departure o f approximately 147
student teachers on assignments
off-campus.
The new spaces will make

Robert Williams, business

Parking tickets at CSUSM usually run $25, and can reach up to
$100 for parking in a reserved
spot. Revenue from the tickets
that are issued does not go back
into the parking system, but
rather to San Diego County for
various alternate modes o f transportation such as vanpools and
carpools.
The repeal rate for parking
tickets is around 80 percent,
meaning that only 20 percent
o f the contested tickets actually
P ARKING,frompage 1
result in a fine. There is a 21-day
grace period during which students have the chance to contest
the ticket. After appealing, the
contestation will go in front o f an
appeal board, which is made up
o f three people who are not affiliated with the parking system.
It normally takes six to eight
weeks to receive a reply, after
which time the ticket will either
be dismissed or upheld. I f the
ticket is upheld then you have an
option for a second level hearing.
In other words, tickets can be
appealed twice.
I f students drop classes or dis-
enroll, the parking institution will
consider refunding your parking
pass on a pro-rated scale. Many
students are unaware o f this and
simply throw their passes away
not knowing that they might be
eligible for a refund.
Information on parking services can be found on their website at www.csusm.edu/parking.
O n the site there is information
concerning future plans o f action
including expansion and parking
pass increases. I t is also a good
forum in which to appeal parking
tickets.
donated by Geico, providing the
college with two $5,000 scholarships each year to be continually
funded.
Regarding how cuts will affect
faculty, Guseman said that, " No
tenured or track faculty will be
released. Because we're offering
fewer sections, we may use fewer
adjuncts," including those faculty
who have been teaching less than
two years, typically teaching one
or two classes. "We have some
excellent adjunct faculty, and our
desire is to keep those," he said.
Despite budget reductions,
the college's $27,640,000 business building, to be completed
by January 2006, will not be
threatened.
Funding for the
building comes from a different
budget than the colleges operating expenses. The building "has
always been protected under the
Governor's economic stimulus
plan," Guseman said.
BUSINESS, from page 1
ing fewer opportunities to attend
conferences and seminars. This
will impact "currency": the ability o f instructors to remain on the
cutting edge o f their field.
"Faculty will have to delay
some things they'd like to do for
a year," Guseman said.
Guseman
characterized
expected budget cuts as a " bump
in the road," saying: "We want to
minimize any long-term damage.
We have to look at this as a shortterm phenomenon. We don't
want to make some decisions that
will impact our ability to continue to grow for the future."
Rather than focusing purely
on cutting costs, the college will
generate additional revenues.
The college has already had
some success in such efforts,
Guseman said. " The business
community really does realize
the importance o f having quality
education."
One such fundraising measure is to increase the fees for
companies hosting students in
the college's "senior experience"
program - a program allowing students to collaborate on
projects with businesses in the
community. Additional revenues
accrued from businesses in this
manner would help defer costs
incurred by the program.
Evidencing the fruits

the week before spring break at

b oard members were chosen,
including a new president and

Voting students also passed
two fee increases, both proposed
by Students Health Services.
The first will increase the SHS
fee from $35 to $50 p er s emester; the second will raise a more
obscure fee o f $3 t o $25 to maintain SHS facilities and save for a
future permanent facility. In all,
CSUSM students will b e p aying
$37 more per semester as a result
o f the election.
According to an election tally
sheet, about 5 00 students voted
in the four-day election. With
over 7,000 students at Cal State

The reality of
elections: if you
didn't vote, don't
complain
B yiDMPFlNGSfEN
Pride StaffWriter
Before students left campus
for spring break, their fees were
raised by $37.
T hese
were
not
forced
increases, such as resulted from
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's budget cuts. These were
optional, a nd were open to b e
v oted o n for four days by any
student at C SUSM.
W hether the fee increases were
needed is not the point. Rather,
the shocking thing is that 93 percent o f C SUSM s tudents apparently did not care that they might
b e r equired to pay an extra $37
p er s emester from now on.
Almost five hundred students
voted on the two fee increases
proposed b y S tudent H ealth
Services. O f those, 289 voted
yes o n t he first increase and 261
o n t he second (ostensibly 261 o f
t he same students that supported
the first).
3
T hat means that about three
hundred students decided that
all seven thousand o f us will pay
$ 37 m ore every semester until
we graduate - and not only us,
but also new students who will
have to abide b y the results o f last
month's vote.
I have a hard time believing
that all o f the students who didn't
vote will not care or notice when
the increases take effect next
semester. In fact, I 'll b et that
more than a few will b e standing out in front o f the cashier's
office, shaking their heads and
complaining about how high the
fees are.
O ut o f all o f t he reasons to
vote, direct monetary incentives
should r ank a mong the top two
or three. For students, I would
expect it to be number one. My
guess is that at the very least, seventy o r eighty percent o f CSUSM
s tudents care when their fees go
up. So why wasn't there a seventy or eighty percent turnout for
the election?
The next time you have the
chance to vote o n a fee increase,
you will have the same two
options you h ad t his time: to
vote, or to let a minority o f the
student body decide how much
money you should pay for extracurricular services.

Workshop leader Laura Weide adjusts a harness on a s tudent
v olunteer last week a t t he sex t oy workshop.
A pleasurable event
Sex toy workshop instructed,
delighted large audience
By CHAD SPINKS
Pride StaffWriter
Even though spring break had
started for most students Thursday evening, March 25, there
was a line o f over 150 students
standing outside o f the Arts 240
lecture hall. The students were
waiting to participate in the final
segment o f the Women's History
Month series - a sex toy workshop.
Thirteen events were sponsored by the women's studies
department and organized by
student Josh Harris throughout the month o f March, and
included such events as a vaudeville performance, hula dancing
and a slam poetry reading by
Bridgette Gray.
"We had a hard time judging
how many people would turn
out," said Harris. Harris said that
the only other event with such a
large turnout was " The Vagina
Monologues," where people were
actually turned away. He said
this event was more fortunate
since there was enough room for
everyone who came to have a seat
in the audience.
The two hour sex toy workshop
was led by Laura Weide, a self
proclaimed "missionary o f pleasure," and aimed at educating
students about their bodies and
understanding sexual pleasure.
The lecture encouraged safe sex
and enlightened the audience
about pleasures o f the flesh.
As the crowd packed into
the lecture hall, a few curious
individuals ventured to the table
at the front o f the room where
a number o f sex toys were on
display.
As the eager crowd took their
seats Harris gave a brief introduction by paying tribute to
Marcy Calderon, a human sexuality activist.
Weide, with blond braided
pig tails, black rimmed vintage glasses, dressed in a black
western shirt adorned with
embroidered red rose patterns
and black leather pants, took the
stage. She started the evening
by encouraging volunteers from
the audience to participate in a
game that involved sex anatomy
terminology. Volunteers walked
to the front o f the room and were
challenged to guess t he anatomy
term displayed on large pieces o f
poster board behind their backs.
Clues were shouted out by the
audience for the volunteers to
guess from, and as Weide had
predicted, it was pandemonium.
The room erupted into cheers
and light-hearted laughter as
the crowd shouted descriptions
for words like "perineum" and
"frenulum."
After the short exercise, Weide
went into a discussion about the
biological anatomy o f male and
female genitalia. Weide provided
information about anatomy and
dispelled myths by answering
questions from the audience.
Discussion ranged from Kegel
exercises, to orgasms, to safe sex,
to masturbation, and a variety o f
other sexual topics.
After the discussion, Weide
turned to the sex toy table. She
explained the design, application, and safe use o f the various
toys and passed them through the
audience. The lecture hall buzzed
with the sound o f vibrators and a
few brave audience members
even volunteered to model for the
"strap on" products.
After answering questions and
the toys were put away, Weide
encouraged everyone to have a
safe and fun spring break.
" I was concerned that in a
workshop like this that everyone
would be quiet, but I was surprised at the level o f comfort,"
Harris said.
Weide, a sociology graduate, has been an activist since
1995, and said she enjoys leading sex toy workshops and the
opportunity to educate people,
while organizing against groups
encouraging the oppression o f
sexuality.
Weide said she has not faced
much opposition to her workshops. " I think people selfselect," she said. "People -who
don't want to hear about it don't
s howup."

clean the tables where students
eat, inside and outside o f the

They clean the pay
phones, receivers and mouth
pieces alike, not forgetting the
trashcans and recycling bins the
campus community also uses.
They help in keeping the Cal
State campus clean.
George Carlson, the first
facilities director at CSUSM
initiated and supported the
Transition Program in 1994 - a
program involving emotionally
or physically disabled students
who learn skills to become more
productive in personal and social
situations.
Currently, Chuck
Walden,
facilities
director,
supports the program.
The students seen working in
teams around campus and eating
lunch next to you in the Dome are
part o f the Transition Program.
The program is involved with
Vista Unified School District
teachers Steve Molina and Dora
Stabinski. The program also
works in conjunction with the
CSUSM facilities department,
and Lead Custodian Carl
Hanson. Hanson helps over see
the program and works closely
with the ten students.

teachers, Molina, Stabinski and Independent Living. This course
They all meet around is held during the school semester
and helps them learn functional
living skills.
The students are chosen for the
program, which is comparable
to an internship, based on their
productive level. The students
are paid a stipend, based on
how they follow directions and
their level o f productivity, as
well as the initiative they show.
The program also helps them
mainstream into the real world
and interact socially with some
o f the students and staff on
campus. Some students end up
with the ability to get jobs in the
fast food industry and two o f the
students will soon be working for

This program is a " win w in

A SI elections
were a s ham
D ear ASI and S tudent Body,
As a candidate who ran in last
year's ASI Student elections,
I must say that this year's A SI
election was a complete joke.
Every position ran with only one
candidate who was unopposed.
I can see several reasons for
this mockery o f t he democratic
process. First, those in charge
o f publicizing a nd e ncouraging
the student body to r un for office
obviously did not do their job.
S ome p articular A SI officers
who stand out in my mind as
ones who have failed the student
body in this election are Erin
Dalman and Erik Roper. These
two were mentioned in a Pride
article a few weeks back as the
individuals responsible for getting the student body informed
and involved in student elections. I t is the j ob o f the Vice
President o f E xternal Affairs to
" inform the students on student
relevant matters," i f ASI elections are not " student relevant,"
p ardon me. Erin Dalman is our
Vice President o f C ommunication and one o f h er duties is to
"publish a m onthly newsletter
to inform the student body o f
p ertinent ASI issues." Well,
I guess the ASI elections this
year were not a " pertinent"
e nough issue to warrant any
communication whatsoever to
the student body! T he elections
this year were a disgrace. I feel
the President o f t he University,
Karen Haynes, must look into it
immediately. A SI's o wn goals
were not attained this year as
far as their own elections are
concerned. According to their
goals outlined in their mission
statement they want " to c reate
a n e nvironment where students
can acquire leadership skills
a nd p articipate in self-governance." My fellow students, this
is not self-governance when ASI
fails to r un a respectable election. Another goal o f ASI is to
" foster a sense o f c ommunity
and pride among all students." I
m ust say that I a m n ot proud o f
m y schools election process this
year and I do not see how anyone
can feel " proud" o f t heir school
when an election o f this magnitude is r un w ith every candidate
running unopposed and with
A SI failing to properly inform
the student body (that is us). I
feel no sense o f c ommunity
when A SI alienates the student
b ody i n this way. Again, I ask
with a sense o f urgency that
P resident K aren Haynes looks

Students protest cuts
BY TOM PFINGSTEN
Pride Staff Writer
Hundreds of students f rom San
Diego County marched through
downtown last Monday as p art of
a statewide walk-out in protest of
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed budget cuts.
Official
police
estimates
counted 750 students in the
crowd, which marched f rom
San Diego City College through
the Gaslamp district to the state
building on the 1300 block of
Front Street.
B efore t he march, protestors on
the lawn in f ront of City College
chanted and waved signs as organizers detailed the anticipated
e ffects of the governor's cuts over
a public address system.
A similar gathering took place
a fter the march in f ront of the
state building on Front Street,
w here six student government
representatives, including one
f rom CSUSM, went inside to
speak with state officials.
In addition to Cal State San
Marcos and San Diego State,
students f rom UC San Diego
and several j unior colleges also
attended the rally, chanting
call-and-response slogans such
as, " What do we want? Stop
the cuts! W hen do we want it?

Yesterday, less than a class f ull
of students represented CSUSM
at the Statewide Student WalkOut Against the Budget Cuts
located in downtown, San Diego.
Other campuses participating in
the walkout were UCSD, SDSU,
Miramar, Mesa, Southwestern,
and San Diego City College.
Out of roughly 7,000 students
at CSUSM, about 150 applicants signed-up t o o ffer their
support, but only 20 students
actually showed up "get on the
bus", according to Associated
Students, Inc. Vice President of
External A ffairs, Eric Roper.
" I saw an ad in The Pride, but
there is not much you can do in
the end of the semester," said
Robin Willcott, h uman development senior. " If I didn't have to
go to class, I would have definitely supported."
The protest lasted f rom 9 a.m.
until 4 in the a fternoon. Time

Several ethnic dances were included in the activities at last

Last Thursday, April 22, the
second annual International Fair
was held in University Plaza.
The f air was sponsored by the
O ffice of Global A ffairs, University Global A ffairs Committee,
Associated Students Inc, (ASI)
and several other student organizations.
With an ample amount of f ree
food, d rinks and p erformances
f rom around the world, students
were able to explore the diversity
and variety of other cultures in a
f un and inviting atmosphere.
Some of the countries represented at this y ear's f air were
Japan, Vietnam, Germany, Israel,

"Although more people should
have participated in the protest,
without those people who went,
nothing would change," Nelson
said.
Dr. Liliana Rossmann, professor of communications, acknowledged the walkout and stressed
the importance of the budget cuts
especially when concerning the
Educational Opportunity Program (EOP).
"If EOP gets cut, there will be
less first generation college graduates," Rossmann said. "These
students are a key component of
our student body, unfortunately
only a handful of students went
on the bus."
"I encourage and support
student's rights, exercising their
power to protect the cost of
education and promote positive
and safe activism within their
campus community," EOP coordinator, Parisa Soltani said
"I couldn't go to the protest
because I had to work and go to
class," ASI College of Business
Representative elect, Kelli Klopf
said.
ASI President and CEO elect,
Manal Yamout, explained her
opinion as to why more students
did not attend.
"The timing in regards to
the academic calendar is off.
Students are having to choose
between studying for finals and
protesting," Yamout said.

shut.
Drawing even more attention
to the protest was the police
escort, made up of about a dozen
motorcycle cops and a supervising officer who walked in front
of the procession.
Sergeant
Art Doherty of the San Diego
Police Department said that he
was pleased with the protestors'
peaceful nature.
"So far they've been very wellbehaved," said Doherty. "I'm
glad we can do this stuff. This
is America, this isn't Iraq."
According to event organizers,
anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000
faculty could be laid off from the
CSU alone as a result of reduced
higher education funding. It was
also estimated that cuts could
force the CSU to reduce Enrollment by up to 50,000 students
next year.
Other anticipated effects resulting from sweeping cuts to higher
education include tuition and fee
increases, larger class sizes and
the elimination of assistance programs such as the EOP.
CSUSM Literature and Writing professor Lance Newman
summed up the situation after the
march ended in front of the state
building: "The effect of these
budget cuts is to not only raise
student tuition, but to lower faculty working conditions, and that
effects the quality of education."
He continued, "What happens
with increased class sizes is that
students, more' and more, are

�Love will tear us apart
In the game of love, not every relationship beats the odds; breaking up is hard to d
BY KEVIN BRABEC
Pride Staff Writer
Relationships are as haiu to
figure out as a statistics mid term
that you haven't studied for. Relationships bring us pleasure, as
well as pain, and when a relationship goes south, the emotional
roller coaster ride that ensues is
almost too much to take.
There are many different paths
a relationship can follow. You
meet someone, you start dating,
you break up and it's done. Or,
you meet, start dating, fall in
love, get married, have a couple
of kids and magically drive off
into the sunset in the soccer
mom mobile. In talking to some
students on campus about relationships, there are a lot of tragic
stories out there.
John was in a destructive relationship for approximately two
years, at least that was the way
that he described the relationship. John and his girlfriend were
involved in a one-upping contest
that involved each of them cheating on each other with former
loves and the random encounters
with people that they met along
the bumpy path of their relationship.
"When she walked in the door
at the senior prom, I thought she
was going to faint," John said.
"I told her that I was going to
just chill with friends, after she
informed me that she was going
to go with her ex-boyfriend. The
look on her face was priceless to
see me there with a date having
a great time, or pretending to
anyway," he said.
The second year of the relationship was coming to an end
when John was informed that he
had been accepted to a university not close to the town where
they lived. "It was raining and
I can remember getting out of
the truck and just sitting there
together smoking when I told
her," he said.
The best thing that he ever did
was to "get outta Dodge," leaving
her and the relationship behind.
The promise of a new beginning
was enough for John to realize
that what he had to do was start
his life over in a new place without any of the emotional strain
that he was dragging around.
John accomplished just that and
met someone else a couple of
years later. They plan to get married in 2005.
Lisa's relationship lasted six
and a half years and an engagement was on the horizon. Lisa
and boyfriend were high school
sweethearts and met when she
was only 15-years-old.
A fter turning 21, Lisa introspectively thought about the
direction the relationship was
heading; what she wanted from
the relationship and the reality
of the relationship were different
things. There were issues involving drugs and alcohol in the relationship that her partner was not
willing to work through, so Lisa
bettered herself and broke off the
relationship. She has since met
someone new and is happier with
that relationship.
Chris's relationship lasted
about a year before it finally
ended. Chris was involved with
someone younger and it was clear
that they never were in the same
place on important issues involving the relationship.
"That whole princess attitude
eventually was a turn off. I gave,
and she took and never gave any-
thing back," Chris said.
The long distance relationship
that occurred after she graduated
high school and went to college
added to the impending doom
that the relationship was poised
to suffer. In addition, the relationship was so closed off from
the outside world, it began to put
a strain on the friendships that
Chris had prior to this relationship. "She was only concerned
about herself, and treated everyone else, besides me, like shit,"
Chris said.
After putting up with the
selfishness for some time,
Chris finally broke it off. To
get through the break up, Chris
buried himself in his schoolwork
and his job to fill the void that the
absence of the relationship had
left. Chris is happy now and is
involved in another relationship
with someone closer to his age.
They share a lot of the same ideas
about life and seem to be headed
in the same direction.
Jennifer and her fiance were
living together with one of his
friends when she began to think
about her future and the man she
was about to marry. Jennifer's
fiancé had no job, no car and no
inspiration to do anything but sit
around the house. Jennifer relates
that he would often think about
doing something while listening
to music blaring so loud that the
foundation of the house, as well
as the relationship, were starting
to crumble. "Getting out of the
relationship was always on my
mind," she said.
One night after a long day at
school and work, Jennifer was
trying to sleep and he wouldn't
leave her alone. A fter he accused
her of cheating on him, Jennifer
had decided she had had enough.
She proceeded to take off the ring
and said, "Here's your goddamn
ring back, why don't you go buy
yourself a car with it." Jennifer
moved in with a friend and is
beginning to live her life the way
she wants.
There were some things that
students would agree were good
ideas in dealing with break ups.
One student put it the best when
she said, "Talk to friends, work
out, don't drink too much and
don't just hook up with anyone to

Now that my handsome picture accompanies my column,
I am getting a lot of feedback
around campus regarding topics
I should cover. One topic that
is constantly being brought to
my attention is the f rustration
regarding the collegiate athletics
here at CSUSM.
One
common
f rustration
among students is that CSUSM
does not have many collegiate
sports, and of t h
e collegiate
sports that are o ffered are not
among the major sports. Not to
take away f rom our outstanding track, cross c ountry and golf
teams, since they are doing a
fine j ob, but those sports are not
exactly the 'Britney Spears' of
the sports world.
Most of u s can remember those
times during high school when
we went to the football, basketball and baseball games to support the school. We also remember how much f un that was j ust
to hang out with f riends while
catching a game. Some CSUSM
students feel like they are missing out on that athletic competition that high school gave us.
" I t hink the f act that we don't
have many sports at our school
really takes away f rom the college experience," said f reshman
Chantal Pasag.
Freshman Jade Zwinger said,
" I wish we had f ootball. I 've b een
going u p to Sah Luis Obispo to
watch all of their football games.
I have also been to a few SDSU
games. Isn't that s ad?"
T he point that Zwinger brings
up is quite ' sad'; if we want to see
a college football game then we
have to make our way to another
college campus.
The lack of support f or the
few sports that we do have is of
concern as well. Cougar athletes
have expressed their f rustration
with the f act that there is hardly
any support for their teams.
Cross country and track athlete
A imee Bradley asked, "How do
you t hink it feels seeing hardly
anyone f rom CSUSM at our
events?"
Several weeks ago I had that
same feeling when I covered
t he state surfing championships
at San O nofre beach. There was
not a single student f rom CSUSM
that attended the event other than
t he ones competing.
I know that the majority of
students do not choose to come
to CSUSM because of the sports
that are o ffered. I also know
CSUSM is not exactly a social
campus that can b e compared t o
the likes of UCSB or Colorado
University. H opefully one day
our school will o ffer more sports
for the students, because sports
can do so much f or a college
campus. S uccessful p rograms
can rack in t he big bucks, dinero,
cash, bling-bling or whatever
else you call money. Sports c an
also b ring notoriety and a wider
appeal to the general public,
which can b e extremely beneficial f or a university.
Everyone ranging f rom cougar
athletes to the casual f an h as
shared their opinion with m e
regarding Cougar athletics. Surprisingly, I do not have all the
solutions to your f rustrations.
The only suggestion I have is
for you to support the teams that
we do have, even if you don't see
them as Britney Spears.

discussed in "Jock Talk With Josh," please email Josh Sandoval

�Those who protested deserve honor
Yesterday 20 students took
a bus down to the Governor's
office in San Diego and protested
the 2004-2005 proposed budget
cuts. A fterward they went
to Balboa Park and listened
to a reggae band to reward
themselves. They deserve an
award f or their organized e ffort
at f ree speech.
They protested cuts that
according to H.D. Palmer,
a spokesperson for the state
finance department, are due to
California's "worst fiscal crisis
ever."
California doesn't have
enough money so Gov.
Schwarzenegger and h is
associates did not raise taxes and
is forcing t he California higher
education systems to cut even
more f rom their already lean
p rogramming.
One of the results is raised
tuition and fees.
Universities and colleges
throughout the entire 50 states
are experiencing the same thing.
But students in California
pay less f or school than the vast
majority of other universities in
the country..
Students in California pay
21 cents to the dollar to r un the
CSU system, Palmer said.
Recently student f ees f or t he
CSU j umped 30 percent since
2003 and another 10 percent is
expected for 2004-2005.
The "Student Charges &
Financial Aid 2003-2004"survey,
conducted b ylhe National
Association of State Universities
and Land Grant Colleges
(NASULGC), reported that
national resident undergrad
tuition and f ees increased by
13.9 percent f rom the 20022003 academic year. Graduate
student fees increased by 11.5
percent.
It is the "largest single-year
increase in more than a decade"
the report stated.
A nd American students a ren't
alone in their tuition increases,
it's happening worldwide.
But one disappointing e ffect
f rom the cuts, f or California
anyway, i s the termination of
Educational O pportunity and
Outreach Programs.
These are necessary tools to
recruit and aid students f rom
underprivileged backgrounds.
These students whose parents
didn't go to college, who don't
make enough money, and
don't know how to send their
intelligent children to college,
need the opportunity to step
u p because above all, they are
people who deserve a chance.
We need these students in the
system f or themselves and f or
the state.
Another r eport by the
N ASULGC states that f or
every dollar invested in higher
education, there is a five dollar
r eturn to t he economy.
But t hat's not going to happen
if colleges throughout the state
shut down their p rograms and
limit education.
A representative f or
Chancellor Reed, Clara
Potes-Fellows, said, "it is a
very strenuous and delicate
negotiation process." The
Governor, the legislators and the
Chancellor all want t o go in their
own direction. She said we can
expect less classes due the cuts,
so that tells how the negotiations
are going.
B ut Palmer would not
comment on t he f uture of h igher
education in the state. He said
it depends on state revenues
and on what revisions have
b een m ade f or t he M ay budget
proposal.
So while t he C alifornia state

the Governor, CSU b oard of

C alifornia students decided t o

San Diego. T hen they all went
to listen t o a reggae b and. Well

Eric Roper, w ho helped p lan

A ll t he state employees c urrently

hectic environment to finish it,
that who knows if t hey'll give
more than a couple seconds
notice to t he news of student
protests.
Potes-Fellows said, if the
students make themselves heard
then legislators and the governor
will realize that someone is
s uffering when they apply
budget cutbacks.
A nd t hat's what it takes
— pro-active people t aking a

Compliments to those w ho c ared

Letters to the editor
Discount Books
and Aztec shops
are still at odds
The Pride:
I am an employee of Discount
Campus Books, a college
textbook store located across
the street from Cal State
San Marcos. Since the store
opened in 2003, w e have been
attempting to get copies of book
requisitions from the university,
to no avail.
The university's position is
that Aztec Shops, because of its
legal structure, is not subject to
the California Public Records
Act, which opens the business
of its public institutions to
citizens. This, despite the f act
that it allows the o ff-campus
store at San Diego State,
where it also operates the oncampus bookstore, access to its
requisitions. This, despite the
fact that state universities all over
California routinely hand over
requisitions to their off-campus
competitors. This, despite the
fact that Cal State's bookstore
and university allow other
members of the public - namely,
publisher's representatives - to
view the material it denies us.
I have a few problems with
this treatment. First, Aztec
Shops is an agent of the
university and should be subject
to the same legal strictures. If
they outsourced their personnel
management to a foundation,
would they be exempt from labor
laws?
Second, and more important,
should a public institution
be in the business of stifling
competition so that it can charge
higher prices f or its books? Who
benefits.. .the students who p ay
higher prices f or their books?
The community, who loses a taxpaying business?
Thirdly, why should w e b e
singled out f or p oor treatment?
Because w e're new? Because
Aztec Shops and C SUSM think
they can drag their f eet until w e
disappear?
I wanted the student
community and public to b e
aware that perhaps the Cal State
San Marcos administration and
its agents may not have the best
interests of students and public in
mind. From m y perspective, at
least, there appears to b e another
agenda at work.
Sincerely,
John Kilby
Manager, Discount Campus

I t hink it is a strong testament

One section that did,
however, prompt questions
was the Letter To T he Editor
section on the opinion page
and the exchange between t he
participants who submitted
letters. Some readers expressed
concern that t he letters went
f rom voicing c oncerns over
t he ASI elections t o personal
battle between Erik Roper
and Austin Myers. Other
readers thought that t his t ype
of exchange was out of place
in The Pride.
In the name of ART we are
being tricked into accepting
works that teach new inventive
ways to abuse, torture and
mutilate the female body.
A picture frame contained
three photographs. One of a
middle aged woman naked and
using a hand held electric beater
to tantalize her breast.
The other two photographs
were of young girls also using
tools in inappropriate ways.
This is insanely irresponsible.

A look at three artistic organizations at CSUSM
B y K YLE OTTO
Pride Staff Writer
The vivacious spirit of A ztec
dance, the passionate p oetry of
t he exquisite Spanish tongue,
and t he unquenchable fervor of
t he young author's imagination
are but a f ew colors in the collage
of artistic student organizations
h ere at CSUSM.
Ballet Folkorico Mixtlan
P erforming lively dances f rom
t he various Mexican states of
Jalisco, C hihuahua, and Veracruz, as well as of the Prehispanic A ztec tradition, the student
organization, Ballet Folklórico
M ixtlán, hesitates at nothing t o
b ring t he culture of the Mexican
people to t he stage.
Vice President of Mixtlán,
Rosa Balcazar, remembered
visions of her youth, as a little
girl in Mexicali, saying, " The
people love to dance, they love
p arties, they love life, and it's
expressed in the music and in
t he dance. It reflects back on the
people, the culture, on the beliefs,
and the lifestyles."
Founded in 1999, Mixtlán, its
name meaning "People of the
Skies," employs its talent for a
variety of events, surviving its
bustling September p erformance
schedule d uring the month of
Mexican Independence, as well
as f or the May celebrations of
Cinco de Mayo, d uring which the
club hosts d ance p erformances,
sharing the history of their a rt
with curious crowds.
The organization unabashedly flaunted a brilliant flurry of
vibrant red, yellow, orange and
white t wirling d resses at the Student Leadership Awards Night
h osted by ÁSI last Wednesday
evening, and again at the boisterous international f air on Thursday.
By attending workshops at
San Diego State University, and
three-day conferences hosted
by Ballet Folklórico companies,
such as Panzantes Unidos, in the
San Diego area, Mixtlán strives
to achieve its goal, as articulated
by Balcazar, to "learn about
Mexico, through its music and
folkloric dance performance, and
to create social awareness that
educates people about Mexico's
history, a rt and culture."
Garabatos
Likewise b ringing the art of
the Latino heritage to CSUSM,
the student magazine, Garabatos,
invites students f rom the Spanish department and beyond, to
let their voices soar with poetry,
short stories, essays, and academic work, all published in
Spanish at each semester's end.
A s President Maria Acuna
explained, the organization's
name, Garabatos, means " The
Scribbles." She said, "We
thought it was a good title for
the magazine, because i t's what
we do. It is the first writing, t he
first thing that any person could
have a dream to b e a writer, to
be a poet. The first thing that
we t hink is good comes f rom our
heart, f rom our minds."
Beginning in 1999, the magazine, an official student organization in 2004, has provided a
unique avenue for experimenting
authors within the writing classes
of the Spanish department to
contribute those o ffspring of
their hearts and minds.
"First they write in the classes,
but some students have the passion to write - and who knows,
maybe that student who never
thought about it, maybe one day
will b e a good writer. T hat's one
of the visions that I have - giving
everybody the opportunity to
t ry to do something with their
minds and their spirits - to put it
in words, and see what happens,"
said Acuna.
Like
Mixtlan,
Garabatos
extends its a rms t o embrace the
campus through events such as
the annual Dia de los Muertos
festival, f or which it has, f or the
past two years, hosted a creative
writing table f or "anybody who
wants to come over and w rite
Calavaritas - p oems, not serious p oems - very f unny, that you
can make u p about your boss or
f riend - some people w rite about
their professors - it's f unny," said
Acuna.
Also like their spirited dancing compatriots, the students of
Garabatos were featured at the
international f air on Wednesday,
boldly reciting verses of their
writings before a mesmerized
audience of fair-goers.
Desiring involvement f rom t he
community, Acuna sees Garabatos as something comparable
to The Pride, established on the
university, but not confined to
campus. "Everybody can come
and participate - even if you
don't speak Spanish, even if
you're not f rom Cal State San
Marcos. We don't want to box
ourselves in - we want to b e open
to new ideas," she said.
Expressing her wish for the
f uture of Garabatos, Acuna
spoke of workshops the club
attends with a similar Spanish
student magazine at San Diego
State University, saying, "To
have more quality on the manuscripts, its ideal to have some
professional writers to teach us."
Publishing Garabatos' newest
issue in May, Acuna, a graduate
student of the Spanish master's
program,
shared her commitment
to the magazine despite her g raduation this May, saying, "Next
semester I plan to give more
time to Garabatos, because this is
something that is my passion."
Artistic Rights:
A Writing Guild
A s the muses smile upon the
enraptured words of Garabatos,
so do they grace with courage
the very essence of the writers o f
Artistic Rights: A Writing Guild,
another creative literary f orum
here on campus.
Co-chaired by the organization's e-zine publication editors
Zachary Pugh, Sherre Myers,
and J T Vernon of the literature
and writing studies department,
Artistic Rights is "A writing
guild dedicated to creativity,
originality, and works of writing,
visual arts, multimedia, music,
and what not," said Pugh, a graduate student in the d epartment's
master's program.
The organization seeks talented contributions f rom its 26
members as well as f rom others
in the department, albeit with
l ofty publication standards.
" We're pretty critical. We like
s tuff that has edge to it, we like
s tuff that looks like it's had critical readership, that it's not a first
d r a f t - a polished work, s tuff that
maybe is k ind on the roadblock
to f urther publication at another
time," said Myers, also a master's
student in the department.
Publishing a 16-page hard
copy to ^various states outside
California in 2002, P ugh j oined
creative forces with Myers and
Vernon f rom a class they shared,
to initiate t heir guild.
"We wanted t o have workshops
on a r egular basis; w e wanted t o
have people that were serious
about w riting that we could interact with in a c ommunity f ormat.
We want t o b e able t o actually have something that, when
people read it, they say, 'oh, wow,
these people on t his publication
actually took some t ime t o w rite,
they really a re serious about what
t hey're d oing,'" said Myers.
"We've k ind of w anted t o t ap
the creativity on c ampus here
a little more," said P ugh. T he
heralding call has b een heeded,
indeed. Nearly 50 submissions
have b een received b y the editors, to b e pared down to merely
10 to b e published electronically.
To p erfect their skills to these
demanding standards, guild
members regularly meet to
workshop pieces they are c rafting, presenting their creations to
peers for constructive criticism.
Coalescing diligent dedication and unbridled passion, these
aspiring writers are lent the ears
of fellow dreamers, dripping
f rom their tongues the words of
their most beloved works, in the
thrilling yet challenging atmosphere of dynamic, live reading.
"People actually came and read
their work at an open f orum, and
then we sat down and discussed
it," said Vernon.
The first issue of A rtistic
R ights' publication " will c ome
out, f ull force, b efore t he semester is over," said P ugh.
Be on the lookout for the Pride Literary Supplement
on newstands next Tuesday, May 4th.

�What's hot and what's just not
By KEVIN B RABEC
Pride Staff Writer
There is a lot of diversity w hen
it comes t o style expression
exhibited by students on campus.
Sometimes the c ampus looks like
a fashion show with t he students
acting as the r unway models.
Since first impressions are
important and the style you have
says a lot about you. We asked
some students what they t hink.
What's Not?
What's Hot?
What's Not?
"Colors are in and vintage s tuff
like 4 0's style dresses with stiletto heals are w hat's h ot."
"All those guys that wear too
many wristbands, they might as
well b e wearing a long sleeve
shirt."
" Don't copy what everyone else
is w earing" and "don't stick to
one label m ix and match labels,"
Michael
Washburn,
senior.
What's Hot?
"Converse, j eans, a
nd nothing too flashy" and something "ideal for the w eather"
What's Not?
"One piece b athing suits, no
matter what t he situation is," and
"Trucker h ats, I a m over it."
Laceita A rmstead, senior.
What's Hot?
"Pleated skirts and belts that look
like scarves."
What's Not?
"Shirts with sayings on t hem like
'No. 1 baseball player' or 'Welcome to Jamaica' and "capris or
pants; if you c an't tell the difference don't wear 'em."
Kristi Taylor, senior.
What's Hot?
"Take trends and put a twist on
i t" and "whatever your look is
own it."
Raymond
Orias,
sophomore.
What's Hot?
"Volcom, Lost, Ezekiel, and Billabong.. .Circa and Globe are selling w ell...Spy and Von Zipper
right now, but I t hink Electric is
really getting bigger."
What's Not?
"Oakley - don't even have to
explain this one."
Joshua Houston, business major.
Houston o ffers this advice, "Wear

Research does not always mean
spending hours in a laboratory,
Worden said. It also includes
scholarly and creative activities.
As a result, there is a wide range
of existing research projects
conducted here at CSUSM.
Biology professors Thomas
Wahlund and Betsy Read, for
example, are currently heading
a project that studies how certain
single-celled m arine algae make
coccoliths, which are concretelike structures made f rom
calcium carbonate. If they can
figure out how the algae makes
these structures, that information
could b e used to improve medical
devices such as heart monitors
and scaffolding supports for bone
transplants.
Wahlund compared finding
the right gene(s) to " kind of like
(finding) a needle in a haystack,
but we've got lots of hay."
Another research project, led
by Nancy Caine, a psychology
professor that studies animal
behavior, takes things outdoors.
Since 1992, Caine has been
involved with the Center for
Reproduction of Endangered
Species (CRES). In an area
located behind the Wild A nimal
Park, Caine studies G eoffroy's
marmosets, which are Brazilian
primates.
On the cultural side, classes
taught by anthropology professor
Bonnie Bade and computer arts
professor Deborah Small work
with the San Luis Rey Band of
Luiseno Indians. " The goal of
our project is to show the vitality
of the Luiseno culture today,"
Small said.
O ften, research projects are
made possible through grants.
There are two t ypes of grants:
"We're

internal and external. Internal
grants are f unds contributed
by the Provost and the Cal
State system, and they are
given directly to the faculty for
research.
External grants can come f rom
other outside organizations and
government agencies, such as
the National Institute of Health,
which f unds Wahlund and Read's
genetics project.
" Our faculty are very active
in pursuing external grants,"
Worden said. She estimates that
each year, CSUSM faculty and
s taff d raft about $20 million in
grant proposals, and receive
about $5 million in new money.
Other faculty members, such
as Nancy Caine, do not need
grant money to conduct their
research projects.

on campus," Caine said. The
amount of research a f aculty
member conducts varies among
instructors and departments.
" It's something that f aculty
and department chairs work out
every semester," Worden said.
Sometimes this means f aculty
must conduct research during
the summer, holidays, and
weekends.
" [The project] engages a great
deal of my time and energy,"
Deborah Small said, noting that it
was also extremely rewarding to
work and f orm relationships with
the members of the Band. She
also noted that at times, she and
her students would t urn o ff their
cameras to stop and cultivate
plants with the people they were
filming.
For some faculty, research is
not separate f rom teaching, but
:
closely linked. " The primary
benefit [of research] is that
it m akes our f aculty better
teachers," Worden said. "It
makes them experts in their
field, and o ur students are the
beneficiaries."
I n addition to f aculty members
gaining expertise, many students
benefit because they are directly
involved with these projects.
"Since [research] all involves
students," Wahlund said, "it's

Caine called working with
CRES as an opportunity many
students do not get, and said
it is "something many young

College of Arts and Sciences anticipates budget cuts
T HE P RIDE
Tuesday, AprilJO, 2004
BY KYLE OTTO
Pride Staff Writer
Serving approximately 69
percent of the total CSUSM
student enrollment, the college
of arts and sciences at CSUSM
is bracing against an anticipated
$500,000 budget reduction in
addition to cumulative fiscal year
2003-04 cuts of approximately
$1.5 million.
All told, cuts will result in
350 to 400 fewer freshmen and
transfer students to be accepted
in 2004-05. The majority of
enrollment reductions will affect
incoming freshman classes.
Besides enrollment reductions,
the college will need to offer
fewer courses and eliminate
lecturers for 2004-05, said
college Interim Dean Vicki
Golich last Wednesday.
Concerning course offerings,
Associate Dean for Budget and
Operations Ranjeeta Ghiara said,
"We've been very deliberate
about trying to anticipate where
the student need is the greatest,
and trying to ensure that
resources are flowing to those
areas. We are always trying to
see where the greatest number of
students can be served best."
Out o f600 sections, the college
anticipates 40 fewer offerings in
the coming year, said Golich.
Ghiara detailed the effect of
OPIATES ,from page 1

emphasized their use of heroin
as a sedative and a cough
suppressant.
Many movies have been made
to show what happens when
people develop an addiction to
opiates, the most common being
heroin. For example, in the movie
"Trainspotting" by Irving Welsh
and John Hodge, there is a scene
that shows what it would feel like
to have to "kick the habit." Even
the phrase "kicking the habit"
comes f rom the exaggerated
twitching caused by the drug
exiting the body's system.
A man named Mark Dillon
created a web site aiming to repel
children from drugs.
Brand names for opiates are
slightly different, according to
Dillon, because of the people
who use the term; scientists
and scholars refer to opiates as
Opium, Codeine, Morphine,
Heroin and Methadone.
Not only does he provide
accurate
information
about
opiates, but also he provides
extensive information about
legal and illegal drugs at
www.sayno.com.
Opius exotic, the sight is
pleasing, and the effects are
euphorically fatal if they are
abused or immensely relieving if
the instructions are followed.
Kellogg Library evacuated
BY ROGER NARANJO
Pride Staff Writer
The whistling sound of smoke
alarms echoed throughout the
Kellogg
Library
Thursday
evening, causing the evacuation
of all three floors.
Students on the library's first
floor didn't know what to make
of the ear piercing sound and
flashing strobe lights.
Isidro
Zamora, a CSUSM student,
said, "I thought it was just
another fire drill." Around him
were several other students who
didn't acknowledge the alarm as
threatening until the intercom
instructed them to evacuate the
premises.
Some
students
casually
organized their items, while
other fled for the doors leaving
back packs and books. Within
minutes of the fire alarm, two
officers made their entrance

said Ghiara.
Ghiara explained the benefit
of the self-support summer
session policy, which provides
for zero state funding support
and essentially privatizes costs,
saying, "This allows us to take

While Trujillo was teaching

will change jobs 8 to 10 times
in their lifetime; therefore, they
must also prepare for changes.
Next they must do their
homework by exploring all
prospective employers. Sources
that are available to them are
websites, libraries and other
search engines. The CATSS
website is www.csusm.edu/
CATSS.
Statistics show that an
employer spends 4 to7 seconds
when viewing a resume for the
first time. The resume is the first
chance to highlight your assets
and abilities, so it must be brief
and concise.
The career and transfer center
encourages all students to bring
in their resume to critique which
is done in 24 hours. Once your
resume is completed and critique
it can be posted on a website.
The career and transfer center
also helps prepare students for
interviewing by conducting
mock interviews.
Once all this preparation is
completed, students need to talk
with each other and explore the
hidden job market where j obs are
available only by word of mouth.
Five to six hundred other people
had similar encounters at the 90
booths set up for companies and
organizations like the U.S. Army
and GEICO Direct.
While
some
students
experienced success as they
walked through the Job and
Resource Fair 2004 that the
Career and Transfer Student
Services Center (CATSS) hosted,
others felt a little less fortunate.
Joel Schwartz, an undecided
freshman, carrying the f ree pens
and pencils recruiters had given
him, said he was looking for part
time seasonal summer work, and
that the fair wasn't really set
up for people his age. Another
student said there was too much
part time work presented and not
enough career opportunities.
It was evident that the job
seeker's confidence and outlook
toward the job fair had an
influence on success.
Rosa Arguelles, a junior in
the college of business, said she

If a company doesn't have

To offset the effects of budget

Here are several steps of
preparing to enter the j ob market.
Self-assessment is important.
It's imperative for students to
know what they want out of life.
What are their strengths and
weaknesses? What skills and
abilities do they have to offer the

what is their ability to articulate
those abilities to sell themselves
to the employer?

"It was a great chance to meet

While the j ob fair is not to be

does give students an eye into the

non-student f rom San Diego has
j ust that. She said she's been to
15 j ob fairs in the past month and
found the fair a "very promising

A s the wind calmed and the fair
came to a close, Brooks walked
away with resumes, notes, and

The Environment needs your help!
In 2001, the E PA reported that 3.5 million pounds of
chemical waste was generated by tobacco manufacturing.
1 in 8 trees worldwide are cut down and used for tobacco
growing or curing.
A total of 300 cigarettes are produced from one tree.
16 applications of pesticides are recommended in the
three months before the tobacco seed is planted
500,000 acres, of forest are lost to tobacco farming each
year.
20 million people could be fed worldwide if the land used
to grow tobacco grew food instead.

an average of $4 per day, less

Starbucks.
Coffee is a
worldwide
product, second only to oil as a
commodity, requiring the labor
of millions of people in nearly 80
countries. The producers, many
small independent farmers,
however, can't sell their coffee
directly to the marketplace.
Given the lack of co-ops, unions,
or other organized groups, they
are forced to sell their beans to
middlemen at prices drastically
below the market price or value
of their harvest.
These organizations, by virtue
oftheir size andpurchasingpower,
then influence the worldwide
price for wholesale beans.
Compounding the problem, many
of the small farmers must go to
the middlemen for pre-harvest
loans, often at high interest rates,
furthering the debt cycle between
the farmer and the middlemen.
The upshot of this apparent
injustice is the "Fair Trade"
coffee movement.
Inspired
by groups such as TradeFair,
Oxfam
Canada,
Oxfam
America and other non-profit
groups committed to seeking
solutions for hunger and poverty
worldwide, it promotes the direct
purchase of coffee beans from
certified Fair Trade producers.
Additionally,
it
encourages
the formation of democratic
cooperatives or associations
controlled by the farmers.
These associations must also
commit to implementing crop
management and environmental
protection plans to ensure the
safety of the environment. Indeed
premiums are offered to those
willing to work towards organic
production.

diamond. Middlemen did this
and took their cut.
The same can be said for many
commodities that pass through
middlemen on the way to the
consumer. Nevertheless, the
disparity between how much a
producer is able to command
for his product, versus the retail
amount eventually charged for
the product, has never been
greater, or more unjust, than that
facing the small independent
coffee farmer.
According to Oxfam Canada,
of the 25 million coffee
producers, approximately 15
million are small farmers. And

COFFEE
from page 5
In an effort to intercept the
farmers before they cut u nfair
deals with the middlemen,
Fair Trade o ffers the farmer a
guaranteed price for his crop.
In 2000, the price paid by the
middlemen to the farmer was
only .38 cents per pound. Fair
Trade guarantees $1.26 per
pound.
Not all Free Trade claims can
be taken at face value. Recently,
a coffee-roasting company in
Massachusetts, Dean's Beans
Organic
Coffee
Company,
took aim at a popular brand,
Newman's Own Organics, for
being less than t ruthful in its
claim to be a Fair Trade coffee
company. Newman's Own had
recently started its own Fair Trade
Line of coffee, claiming that its
coffee was of Fair Trade origin.
Dean's Beans, which purchased
all 250,000 pounds of its coffee
beans f rom Third World farmers
at prevailing Fair Trade prices,
claims that Newman's Own
merely includes an insignificant
amount of Fair Trade beans in its
mix, so as to use Fair Trade solely
as a marketing ploy.
While it will likely take a
long time to change the buying
patterns of the largest retail
coffee companies in the United
States, some progress is being
made. Universities, such as Tufts,
and Brown are already using Fair
Trade coffee. Starbucks, one of
the largest coffee retailers in the
world, has agreed to implement
a one-year trial with the product
to see if its customers like it.
Locally, The Educated Bean sells
Fair Trade coffee right here on

OPINION
Tuesday, April 20, 2004
THE PRIDE
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Active students
create an active
campus
I 'm responding to the guy who
thinks ASI elections are a sham.
Personally I was aware that you
were able to run for ASI. It was
clearly posted on message boards
around campus.
I don't think you could go
through a day of school and
not pass an announcement that
there were ASI elections. ASI
even gave us chances to run as
a write in. I do not think this is
socialism, this is democracy.
Those who don't participate
in the process will not get their
voice heard. I am disappointed
that there was such a low turn
out of candidates - we lack
university life.
Personally I think this student
was j ust disgruntled because,
like me we were too lazy to
go in to the ASI office, and fill
out an application. I have a
message for all students if you're
interested: RUN, it's not hard.
As for the person who wrote
the article about a proposed cost
of $4 per semester in child care,
I think you should step back and
imagine if you were a college
student with a baby.
If you have a baby you don't
exactly have all the money in the
world. To have a day care that
is close, reliable and cheap will
alleviate tension for the mother
or father. They will then be
more productive and will learn
faster. This is true for all jobs.
If corporations or employers
offered complementary child
care, they would be more
productive because the parent
w on't worry about the kid.
Think of it as an investment.
I 'd like to close by saying
fussing and crying won't do
something, action will, running
for office will.
Please participate in the
process active students create to
make an active campus - it will
be fun and interesting. It will be
the "college experience!"
Felipe Zanartu
undeclared, sophomore
Posting on
boards is not
active enough
Dear Mr.Zanartu:
I'm glad to hear that you were
one of the VERY FEW students
who were privileged to hear
about the ASI elections this year.
I am also aware that messages
were posted on message boards
around the campus. However,
as you should know, student
response is typically low from
anything posted on the message
boards. I know this because of
my own experiences with the
boards.
You are right; I probably
couldn't have gone a day without
passing one of the posted
messages on the boards. Just
because students are "passing
b y" these boards, does not imply
that they are reading them.
This is simply not an efficient
way to reach out to the student
population for an event of this
magnitude. Yes, it is quite
amazing that there are so many
opportunities at our university
that go unfulfilled. What a
shame.
Also, you claim that in order
to complain you must participate.
Where is this written in any
rules? I must have missed that.
Criticism is often a way to
participate in a democracy.
Censorship of criticism is
totalitarianism.
Also, for your information
I DID run for office last year.
I believe that fact, more than
anything, gives me the right to
be critical of the failures of our
current ASI board members.
In exercising my
Constitutional right to freely
express myself, you have
found fault. I find that ironic
considering the club you are a
member of and what it advocates
- PAN.
In closing, you state that
"crying and fussing" won't
do anything, action will. My
response to this as far as the
ASI election is concerned: any
productive ACTIONS taken by
ASI in the first place would have
eliminated any criticism on my
part.
Respectfully,
Austin Myers
Senior, Social Sciences Major
It's not ASI's
fault regarding
election turnout
Dr Mr. Myers:
Thank you for your input. Please
understand I am not trying to
suppress your freedom of speech,
I love free speech.
Some times criticism sounds
like suppression - it certainly
feels like that when I argue over
issues like war and the patriot
act and I am called unpatriotic.
We are better than that, and if
you feel I suppressed your free
speech I am sorry, please forgive
me.
Regarding action, I believe
like you criticism is good. Even
though every time I criticize the
right I am attacked. I understand
their attack is like going on
defense.
Please understand it sucks to
have a student government that
wins unopposed, but it happens
some times even in the local
elections.
However this is not something
you can entirely blame on ASI.
As you know, I stated I f eel this
campus has a serious lack of
campus life. A lot of the time
we have people who don't care
for either side* It sucks, but
Students debate how ASI handled this
year's election
you know there are people who
care about office, and at least in
my opinion, they would look at
the message boards in order t a
change campus policy.
Once again, thank you for your
response. I love debate and I
don't want to live in a totalitarian
regime. In fáct Nick B. (CR's)
and I are organizing a debate
(fair and balanced) to get out the
vote and inform people on our
side of the issues.
I hope we have your blessings
with that event. Thank you once
again for your response.
Respectfiilly,
Felipe Robinson Zañartu
Internal VP, Historian, PANews
Help would
be better than
criticism
accountability would've
resonated with you since y ou're
a republican and that's one of
republicanisms core principles
- but I guess I was wrong.
You suggest that your antics
have somehow "enraged" me
- nothing could be further from
the truth.
On the one hand, your letters
make me laugh.
On the other hand, your letters
make me sad because they are
indicative of the poison that
has seeped into the American
democratic process. What I
mean is that, too often not only
in our politics but in our lives,
when people have a problem
with something, they somehow
feel their civic duty is upheld
by doing nothing more than
nay-saying, when what is really
needed is that they engage
their political leaders with not
only their nay-saying, but their
suggestions for how their world
could be improved for the benefit
of all in the future.
If anything, I think anyone
looking at our two letters next
to each other would see that it is
you, not I, who is "enraged."
Maybe if you hadn't bottled
up all your ideas for how the
elections could've been better
promoted during the process, you
wouldn't currently be harboring
all that psychologically
unhealthy anger.
You might want to do
something about that.
"Respectfully"
Your #1 Fan,
Erik Roper
Austin,
I didn't attack you. I merely
pointed out a glaring irony in
your exercise of free speech. I
never said you weren't entitled
to your opinion either. Also, you
are incorrect in asserting that it
is my job to inform the students
about elections.
It is a task for the entire board
of directors, with the effort
typically being spearheaded by
the ASI Elections Committee.
But, you would've known that if
you had ever bothered to engage
ASI with your concerns about
the degree of elections publicity
at any time during the process.
Additionally, with regard to the
first sentence of your most recent
"respectfully" rendered message
to me, I never asserted that it was
your j ob to publicize the election.
I was merely pointing out that
your passion for this issue seems
highly incongruent with your

about that.
As far as my need to

Are you playing a game of
"Blame the Victim"?
I am quite pleased with the
responses I have received from
you and others regarding this
issue and I believe that I have
made a contribution by bringing
awareness to the topic at hand.
Mr. Roper, do you not also bring
awareness to social wrongs via
protest?
As I recall you did protest the
College Republicans SUV show
last year and no one criticized
your act of protest. However,
when I protest in order to bring
awareness, it is wrong. This is
"highly incongruent."
As far as there being enough
advertising for the election, I was
not even aware one was going
on until an article was printed in
The Pride about the candidates
all running unopposed. Perhaps,
advertising was the same as last
year: minimal. But I suppose that
is what we have come to expect
of our ASI leaders: minimal
effort for towards truly "student
relevant" issues.
ASI should have been aware
of the need to step it up a notch
when they noticed that only a
few candidates were applying.
With all this said, I am glad
that my effort to publicize my
criticisms has brought awareness
to the issue. That was my sole
purpose and I thank you for
allowing me to accomplish that.
Respectfully,
Austin Myers
Any last words?
Personally, I find it ironic that
while Myers spent considerable
time over the last two weeks lambasting ASI for how we, in his
view, poorly publicized the election, he spent zero time on suggesting ways we could improve
the process for next year. Once
again, thanks for nothing Austin!

I was enraged that the parking

Since the whole incident of
receiving the citation I have

Cell phone mania has officially
spread like a plague through the
United States.
Every American has a cell
phone and uses it everywhere,
including public bathroom stalls
and while driving and writing
at the same time. People can't
afford to miss a call these days.
But nowhere is talking,
whether on a cell phone or with
a friend, more disrespectful than
in the library. When I say, "in
the library", that includes the
computer lab.
The library is a sanctuary
from the hustle and bustle of
everyday life. People go to the
library to have some peace and
quiet while enjoying a book or
educating themselves on a topic
of their choice.
But Kellogg Library seems
to be oblivious to that. People
have absolutely no respect for the
fact that rule number one in any
library in the world is QUIET!

At „first
glance, the
headline
" Vandalism forces
Lounge
closure"
4 oes not
appea r
to
be
problematic.
Indeed,
the
accompanying photograph of a
couch sliced open exposing the
fluffy goodness of its cushioning would tend to support the
headline. However, i s this
case, thus far, an example of
actual vandalism?
The California Penal Code
defines vandalism and its
penalty in section 594. This
definition is as follows: "Every
person who maliciously commits any of the following acts
with respect to any real or
personal property not his or
her own, in cases other than
those specified by state law,
is guilty of vandalism: (1)
Defaces with graffiti or other
inscribed material, (2) Damages, (3) Destroys."
For vandalism t o occur, an
individual must "maliciously"
deface, damage or destroy
property not his or her own.
This element has not been
proven, a s of yet, in the case of
the lounge couch.
As I write this column, no
person has been charged or
even implicated with vandalism for the gash in the lounge
couch. In fact, it has not yet
been determined if there was
malicious intent involved in
this incident or if this hap-
should be quiet enough for the
tired and burnt out student to
catch a quick catnap. A place
where the sound of pages turning and computers clicking fills
the hallways. A place where all
cultures meet for the purpose of
higher education. A place where
knowledge rules and ignorance
drools. The point at hand here
is being quiet in the library. The
computer lab should be reserved
for quiet computer time. People
need quiet to focus on the task at
hand which I 'm sure is the same
for all students. Graduate and get
out as soon as possible. So quiet
down people!

pened accidentally.
A s the lead for this article,
staff writer Kyle Otto writes
that this is "an incident of
suspected vandalism." That
statement is subsequently
supported by the presentation
of the contrasting interpretations of the incident by ASI
VP of External A ffairs, Erik
Roper, and Executive VP, John
Gehris. Clearly, it is presumptive to identify this episode as
a definite case of vandalism.
This example is a reminder
of how specific words can
alter the reality of a situation.
A s journalists, we constantly
have t o reexamine the words
that we choose to describe
events, crimes or whatever we
are reporting on. If we do not
exercise a degree of caution in
our word choice, we can affect
the perception of the subject
we are reporting o n in a
h armful or fallacious manner.
Those types of mistakes often
prove costly as libel lawsuits
are likely to follow.
Corrections for VOL. XI
N O, 25
;
T he headline for Kyle Otto's
article should reflect "property
damage," not "vandalism."
The article, "Cesar Estrada
Chavez remembered," does
not identify that the event was
sponsored, in large part, by the
California Governor's Office
on Service and Volunteerism
Grant that was awarded in
2002.
Eric Mercado was misidentified as ombudsman. Mercado
is a staff writer.

Chargers butting heads with city
BY ROGER NARANJO
Pride Staff Writer
The City of San Diego and
the Chargers are in a stalemate,
which could take several years of
litigation to resolve. Mixed reactions in the community have both
sides struggling to gain favor
among fans.
The Chargers claim they have
not been competitive because
the current stadium venue isn't
bringing in the required revenue
when compared t o other NFL
franchises. The city of San Diego
feels the Chargers are obligated
to their contractual use agreement of 1995, which states they
must play their home games here
in San Diego until 2020 and give
the City 10 percent of the gross
stadium income. In return the
city spent more than $78 million
on stadium improvements and a
new Chargers practice facility.
Who's right and who's wrong?
On March 4, 2003, the Chargers
delivered a renegotiation notice
to the city of San Diego claiming a "triggering event" had
occurred. This means that the
Chargers are able to shop a
different venue if their financial
situation falls below a certain
threshold in regard to salary
caps, NFL broadcasting revenue
and stadium gate receipts.
Both the Chargers and the city
disagree on the meaning of the
phrase "triggering event." As a
result parties are at odds whether
a "triggering event" exists, and if
so, the subject matter and scope
of the required negotiation to
avoid litigation. The city of
San Diego would like to reach
an agreement outside of court
which would benefit both parties,
Kir c ampus,
Our voice,

however, neither side is willing to
come to that half point yet.
The city, however, demands
that the Chargers open their
financial books to reconcile the
disparity, but the Chargers don't
quite see it that way. The city of
San Diego claims there is insufficient information t o determine
if an "impact" exists, since the
Chargers aren't opening up their
financial books.
Go Chargers! With a losing
record of 4-12 last season, there is
mixed reaction in the community
whether the San Diego Chargers
should get a new stadium or not.
Andrew Middleton, a student
here at CSUSM said, "I think
there's a better way the city can
spend their money, dealing with
the homeless situation is a good
example."
According to the NFL, the city
of San Diego has seen its last
Super Bowl unless a new stadium
is built.
Jesse Wood, a student here at
CSUSM, believes the Chargers
should get a new stadium built,
"Yeah, because I think the
Chargers generate a lot of money
for San Diego."
Currently, the city of San Diego
and the San Diego Chargers, are
in closed negotiation, which
would end the ticket guarantee
and place a ballot proposal for
2008.
Last Thursday represented
an inaugural holiday. No, there
weren't any presents exchanged
or any scurring about looking

not even know it was a holiday.
Last Thursday was the 5Th

Would you like a free semester of tuition? How about
free books or a parking permit? Well, now's your
chance! The California State Student Association
(CSS A), your statewide student government, is currently
holding a contest titled the "CSSA Challenge." If you
go to www.csustudents.org and answer five simple
questions you'll have your chance. And, if you don't
win the contest don't worry because your Associated
Students is looking out for you. This past weekend we
(Manal Yamout and Shannon Barnett, President and
VP external affairs elect) attended the monthly CSSA
conference hosted by San Francisco State. While at
the conference we discussed several issues that could
have drastic impacts on the quality of your education
and the amount of money in your pocket. These issues
ranged from a CSSA sponsored bill aimed at reducing
textbook costs to the statewide student walkout planned
for April 26th. It's wrong for the state government to
balance the budget on the backs of students. That is
why we need you to join us in walking out, getting on
the bus, and protesting any further increase in our fees.
On Monday, April 26th at 9:00am come down to Craven
circle by the flag poles to get on the bus and join us
in telling the Governor not to raise our fees. Sign up
to get on the bus in the ASI office, Commons 207, or

�Bowling for a buck may bring it back (cdreview)
By TOM PFINGSTEN
Pride Staff Writer
On the list of activities popular
with college students, where
does bowling rank? Obviously
nowhere close to sleeping, but
somewhere above homework.
Most likely invented by men
to check out the women they've
been dragging along ever since,
bowling has fallen out of vogue
within the last decade. But
lane locations such as the Vista
Entertainment
Center
hope
to reel in at least a part of the
college crowd with promotions
offering discounted rates on
shoes, games and food.
At the Vista Entertainment
Center, "Dollar Tuesdays"
are designed to draw students
f rom local colleges by renting
shoes for a dollar, selling games
for a dollar apiece and, at the
snack bar, cooking up dollar
food specials. A valid student
I.D. is required to take advantage of the special rates,
which run from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. and again from 9
p.m. to midnight every
Tuesday.
With the proliferation of bright,
new bowling centers
charging four or five
dollars per game, older
lanes have found
that offering good
deals is a good
way to revive
business. And
a dollar per
sidering that
f ull price is
$3.75 at the
Vista Entertainment
Center.
Dollar Tuesdays draw a
unique crowd, to say the
least. Well less than half of
t h e bowlers last
Tuesd ay
w ere
from
Cal State
San Marcos
or other local
college campuses.
The rest of the
patrons reflected the
diversity of Vista, with
skill levels ranging f rom bumper
bowlers to would be pros, complete with the post-strike strut
(think rooster with a beer belly).
Décor in the Vista Entertainment Center heralds back to the
glory days of bowling, when
games were only a dollar to begin
with. Yellow and orange letters
accent the brown signs and walls
in this seventies, western-themed
bowling alley complete with a
men's bathroom labeled "Studs."
Along the back of the lanes,
box seats sit eerily empty, a
strange sight for college students
used to scavenging for an empty
desk. The lanes themselves show
signs of good maintenance, and
the rest of the equipment is in
good condition.
The
Vista
Entertainment
Center also has a recently renovated laser tag room, a sports bar
and a banquet hall, although none
of these are included during
Dollar Tuesdays.
To help determine where bowling stands in the list of popular
student activities, the usual

questions apply: Is it convenient?
Is it cheap? Besides being both
of these, Dollar Tuesdays provide
a side-trip into a sub-culture
seldom explored by college
students (think mullets, tattoos
and slippery shoes).

Student band
Angel Carry Me
lives among us
By ALLISON SANSBURY
Pride Staff Writer
They could be sitting next
to you in class. You have your
suspicions but you can't be sure.
Black t-shirt. Tight jeans. Chuck
Taylors. It is true. There are
rock-stars on campus.
Seth Gretlein and Andrew
Middleton, two talented students
from CSUSM have started a
brand new band and they call
themselves Angel Carry Me.
Their sound is harder than the
common interpretation of punk
music but not quite death metal.
Their vocals sound like a lower
toned Davey Havok of AFI.
They generate powerful drums
and bass sounds that cause the
ground to rumble, feet to shake
and bodies to move.
Gretlein, a 22 year old junior
majoring in Communications has
more energy than the Energizer
Bunny. Even after studying for
school and working on campus,
Seth can still beat the drums
faster and better than certain
musicians who strive to be the
best.
Music will always be a part of
Gretlein's life. He used to work
at Warehouse music, until it was
shut down due to the bittersweet
technological
development
known so profoundly as: the
Internet.
"The Warehouse was awesome," Gretlein says.
His job consisted primarily
of helping customers find and
purchase music but there weren't
always customers in the store.
With an open and sometimes
empty music store equipped with
a top of the line sound system and
a five disk CD changer Gretlein
spent his time consuming mass
amounts of music.

Stuck in limbo between pop
and soft punk, Sugarcult tries to
please both sides of the genre.
Their new album entitled, "Palm
Trees and Power Lines," is punk
pop with no edge. The sound is
typical MTV material which is
reminiscent of the "American
Pie" soundtrack.
Drum lines build to climactic
crescendos one can anticipate
with little enthusiasm. The guitar
r iffs are standard, redundant
power chords which bands like
Blink-182 and Green Day have
already done and surpassed.
The singer harmonizes well
with the guitar melodies and
back up vocals; however, he is
overpowered by the use of lyrical
clichés. One song recites "She's
the blade and you're j ust paper."
Though this band is musically
tight, they seem to be driven by
record label executives instead
of their own style. They have a
good chance in the music industry if they just stick musically to
their raw gut instincts.
Truly the pop punk explosion
has exploded and Sugarcult
missed the chance to cash in here
in the US. In Japan, however,
there seems to be a Sugarcult
buzz. Domo arigato Mr. Roboto.

Vandalism forces Lounge closure Dorm
BY K YLE OTTO
Pride Staff Writer
A fter an incident of suspected
vandalism involving a damaged
couch last Monday, ASI closed
the student lounge Tuesday
morning, reopening it Friday
on an ASI board decision to
establish a formal Student
Lounge Committee.
ASI Vice President of External
A ffairs Erik Roper said of the
damage, "It looks like a k nife
cut.
It looks like someone
intentionally cut it."
ASI addressed the issue in its
Friday board meeting agenda,
in which Executive V P John
G ehris disagreed with Roper,
saying, "It was more than likely
caused by an accident. It was not
intentionally gashed."
Beau Faasamala, member
of the Lounge K rew (LK), an
u nofficial c ommunity of over
50 students who f requent the
lounge, said in t his regard, "We
would never destroy f urniture
intentionally.
The lounge is

f orm of help. The three licensed
psychologists, along with t hree
interns, working at SHS have
provided an open ear to several
different cases, f rom stress management and sexual f rustration to
eating disorders and substance
abuse.
Problems don't always need
to have f ace value, but can pertain to events f rom one's past.
Psychologist Fritz Kreisler says,
"Many students use our services
to t alk about past concerns, such
as childhood abuse or molestation, and how these might b e
a ffecting them now.... You name
it, and w e'll work with it."
Although there isn't anywhere
closer for students to go, SHS
will o ften bring special events
and presentations to the campus.
Support groups are also available.
While the recent f ee increase
couldn't b ring SHS onto the
campus immediately, it has
helped the counseling department.
"It is likely that the fee increase
will support an increase psychiatry services, which are definitely
needed," said Kreisler. " In addition, the health facilities fee will

cut f unds f rom the P rogramming
Board, which coordinates student
activities, or cut f unding to the
ELC. The third option is adding
a $10 student fee to balance their
budget.
The board of directors h as
chosen the third option in order
to let the students decide if the
ELC will remain open.
Starting immediately, ASI
will b e distributing surveys to

get the surveys completed by as
many students as possible.
"We really have to work in

Emberly Barking, student and
parent of t wo children at the
ELC.
Folk explained to the parents
that if the fee referendum goes t o
the students in the f all and fails,
then the ELC will close.
" I don't t hink it's a wise
decision, regardless of what the
survey says. I don't t hink we
should go to referendum at all,"
said E rin Dalman, ASI vice

E rik Roper, ASI vice president

" Contrary to E rin Dalman, we

Roper said likewise, "This
damage was only the straw that
broke the camel's back. We've
had issues with having our
meetings disrupted by the ruckus
and commotion that regularly
tends to go on in the lounge."
LK member Royce Finlayson
said, "They're j ust trying to
use that as an excuse to get rid
of elements of the society that
they don't want hanging around
anymore. They've never liked
us."
Echoing this view, Faasamala
said, "Whatever happens in

scapegoats."
Roper responded to such
sentiment in the board meeting,
saying, "I hope that the people
that frequent the lounge don't
think that this is a punishment
geared toward any specific group
of individuals."
Poggi said concordantly, "My
experience with them is that
we've worked together to find
solutions.
I would certainly
disagree that they're being
discriminated against."
In an amicable concession
among Lounge Krew members
and ASI VP of finance Crystal
Folk, a formal Student Lounge
Committee was initiated at
Friday's board meeting, to be
chaired by LK member Michael
Kosich ("Dr. K").
Dr. K addressed the board
with a motion to activate the
committee, saying, "I would like
to offer my help in any way as a
member of the Lounge Krew on
campus."
ASI President Honey Folk
declared the board's decision,
saying, "This board has a
consensus to reopen the lounge
and form the committee and
begin meeting."

�VARIETY
Students balancing parenting
and higher education
BY MICHELLE V ELARDE
Pride Staff Writer
They look like typical college
students sitting outside of Starbucks d rinking c offee and cramming for a midterm. They spend
hours in the library, hunched
over a computer, researching for
reports. They complain about the
b rutal commute they face every
morning on the freeways of San
Diego County.
These students, however, have
a d ifferent situation—they are
parents as well as students.
Here at CSUSM, the studentparent population is a diverse
group. It is impossible to make
generalizations about studentparents, for everybody has a different story to tell.
D oing it all: the world of a
single mother
Claudia Pawlowski, biology
major, looks like she j ust graduated high school, with her welltoned figure and her brown hair
swept into a casual bun. Nevertheless, she is almost 30, and
on Monday at 5 p.m., her day is
nowhere close to being over.
Every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday, Claudia wakes up
early to take her nine-year-old
daughter to school. A fterwards,
she drives f rom El Cajon to San
Marcos to make her 9 a.m. class.
"Everything is on the go," she
said. "My life is overwhelming."
When her school day ends
in the evening, Claudia then
travels to hospitals throughout
San Diego and works the graveyard s hift. She spends her night
observing people with sleeping
disorders, while she herself only
sleeps on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day.
Claudia's mother helps her
raise her daughter, but Claudia
said that most of the work falls on
her own shoulders. She said that
being a single parent means that
she needs to b e her daughter's
"mom, dad, brother and sister."
Her responsibility as a parent
o ften means that school is
extremely difficult. "Getting
an A is almost impossible," she
said. "We both have homework
together." She recalled a time
when her daughter had a science
project due the next day, and she
herself had three assignments to
finish.
Even though continuing her
education has been tough, Claudia wants to finish so that she

CSUSM, with a four-year-old

" My attitude has changed since
I was a f reshman," he said. " I'm
more focused on my education
now t han I probably was back

"Being a father, and having
responsibilities, and having a
daughter and having to work

things in perspective," he said.
"Being a parent makes you a

I t hink last week's issue of T he
Pride is a sufficient example of
the solidification of a semester's
worth of work. There is a f eeling
of maturation as we come into

with a good balance of content

moving in the right direction:
what do you feel?
I was anticipating some f eedback regarding Chad Spink's
article about the sex toy workshop, "A pleasurable event," but
I did not receive a word on this
article. In the past, readers have
expressed concern over articles
that may be a questionable representation of our campus (i.e.
the penis pump and the sex doll
articles), yet criticism connected
with Spink's article has b een
nonexistent.
Coming f rom the perspective of someone who actually
attended the event, I would say
that this workshop was educational and beneficial. I am
confident that the f ew h undred
other people in attendance would
agree with me. I can u nderstand
if there were some a ffronted b y
such a workshop; however, the
pragmatic reality of the p ermeation of inherent sexuality in
humans w arrants t he necessity of
education on the matter. T hus, I

"Holy
Generic
Hardcore
Batman!"
Grace Gale's new album entitled, "The Worst Stab Wound
Ever," proves there are too many
generic hardcore bands trying to
make it big.
Listeners are subjected to fiveminute metal/hardcore songs that
follow formulaic song structures,
and offer nothing new for listeners. This album is made up of
heavy breakdowns, emotionless
choruses, and nonexistent melodies.
The third track entitled
"MRSA in Minor," includes a
guitar solo that is the most blatant Iron Maiden rip-off to be
recorded, ever.
The vocals are lackluster and
fail to convey the deep lyrical
content that sparks emotion in
the heart of every hardcore fan.
Single tear.
Listeners will find relief in
the fact that the drums are semispectacular. Lots of double-kick
drum and fast fills, breathe some
life into the album.
The inability to obtain any
information about the band
f rom liner notes, or even a website, makes the album even less
appealing. The boys in Grace
Gale should pay a bit more attention to detail, and spend some
time on the production of their
next album if they want to "make
i t" in the world of hardcore.
Although it failed to catch the
attention of this critic, it may be
of interest to fans of Norma Jean,
Poison The Well, Iron Maiden
and Converge.
