In a move that surprised some,
University Police Chief Tom Schultheis retired on December 30
ending his successful yet recently
controversial reign as the top cop
on campus. Assistant Chief Aaron
Woodard was named interim chief
until a replacement for Schultheis
is hired in the spring.
Schultheis had been with the now
15 officer department since 1998
and has overseen its operations
during a time of substantial growth
for the university.
Schultheis was unavailable for
comment at press time.
Despite his accomplishments as

last semester on October 20. While
those allegations have yet to be
substantiated, the department
responded with a series of forums
at the end of last semester that outlined the practices of the officers.
Interim Chief Woodard plans to
continue reaching out to the campus
community with a series of initiatives designed to keep the policing
process in the forefront
"People don't know about our

Among the programs Woodard hopes
will accomplish a better understanding of
the role of the police officer on a college
campus is Student Community Oriented
Policing Effort (SCOPE). The SCOPE
program will give insight to the students
and the community into policing so as to
dispel the "us vs. them" perception often
associated with law enforcement. Other
community based programs include
bicycle licensing and Rape Aggression
Defense (RAD) courses held periodically throughout the semester.
CSUSM Interim Police Chief Aaron Woodard
Beginning today January 18 and running
through March 31, the Kellogg Library will be
showcasing an installation entitled, "Commodore
Perry and the Westernization of Japan."
The exhibit features photographs and cartoons
documenting foreign settlers in Yokohama, Japan
during the 1860s.
Mounted on beige partitions, works from famous
photographer Felix Beato and cartoonist/journalist Charles Wirgman illustrate the wide disparity

between old traditions and newly adopted western
practices.
On February 10 at 5 p.m. the library will host an
opening reception for the installation.
"Commodore Perry and the Westernization of
Japan" is part of the "Context" library series.
The goal of "Context" is to, "fuel exciting
research possibilities and take students beyond
the classroom, immersing them iii academic literature, scientific studies and cultural critiques—
the Context of the world around them," according
to the Kellogg Library website.

made it nonetheless.
After the initial paperwork, I
was shown to the chair. My anxiety was at an all time high.
The dental assistant came to

she kept asking me if I was o.k. I
wasn't, but what can you say with
those weird paper things in your
mouth and a five pound lead bib
across your chest.
A half an hour later, the doctor
came in. To my chagrin, my new
dentist is a very handsome young
man, Perfect, just what I need,
a nice young gentleman poking
around my well-rested mouth.
But he was very kind and forgiving for my decision to take a
break from dental care.
He poked around my mouth,
testing my gums for disease and
apologized when his instrument
made them bleed. The only thing
I could look at was the ceiling
while he picked at my sensitive
gums. After the poking and picking was over, the dentist wiped
the spit off my face ever so gently
with a soft cotton swab and moved
my chair to its upright position.
Face to face with my charming new dentist, he informed
me that my gums where in very
bad shape, but can be fixed. A
deep periodontal (gum) cleaning
was necessary before he began
working on the numerous cavities that needed to be filled and
the root canal that needed to be^
well, canaled. Finally he would
replace all of my current silver
amalgam fillings with new clear
cementfillingthat will last longer
and look much better. He looked
me in the eye after all of this and
asked, "Are you O K? Did I go
too fast?" Oh sweet doctor did
you ever. I stumbled trying to find
the right words to describe how I
felt at that very moment. I knew I
had neglected my teeth, I knew it
was not normal to feel pain when
eating or drinking.. But my fear
of dentistry outweighed my rationality.
I took a deep breathr and said,
"I'm fine." I looked away from
his adorable brown eyes to keep
some of my dignity intact. He
informed me that my mouth can
be mended, I might lose a tooth,
but it was only a tooth. I nodded
in agreement feeling my face
flush as he looked at the shame in
my face.
We set up two more appointments to clean my gums; we said
our good-byes and parted ways. I
tried to walk out the office with
my head held high, I was embarrassed and relieved. I have a long
way to go until my resolution
is complete, and hopefully, my
newfound respect for the dental
industry will prevent me from
needing another leave of absence
from that dreaded chair.

"In Good
Company"
BY JASON ENCABO
Pride Staff Writer
If you're looking to catch a good
film, you're going to need to find a
way to fight off "Electra," ditch gym
class with "Coach Carter," and dodge
a "House of Flying Daggers ," you'll
be "In Good Company."
From the co-director of "About
a Boy," Paul Weitz, comes a comedic drama that reveals a story of two
men greatly different in age together
adjusting to changes in their lives. In
thefilm,Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid)
and his much younger newly appointed
boss, Carter Duryea (Topher Grace),
find a common ground of understanding each other's lives through interesting experiences in and out of the
workplace. As Duryea admires the
idealistic family ties of Foreman, he
finds affection in Foreman's daughter
Alex (Scarlett Johansson).
This film can be equally appreciated for its comedic, as well as its
dramatic aspects, leaving you with
plenty, moments to laugh and cry.
Topher Grace does a wonderful job
of playing a young hot-shot finding
his place in both work and his life.
Grace's charisma is complemented by
the subtly and veteran acting expertise of Dennis Quaid. And let's not
forget the greatly talented and ciassy
Scarlett Johansson, who plays key
role in presenting the heartfelt side of
the film's story.
"In Good Company" entertainingly
displays the story of 'finding your
place in life' that I think we all can
in one way or another relate to. Watch
this film, you won't be disappointed.

A window iii the north stairwell
of Academic Hall between the first
and second floors was smashed out
on January 20 sometime around 10
a.m. according to CSUSM police.
Some of the glass fell on an
unidentified female student sitting
below the window. When officers
arrived on the scene shortly thereafter she was taken to Student Health
Services where glass was removed
from her hair and clothing.
Investigating University Police
Officer Hernandez described the
victim as being "very lucky" that she
escaped serious injury or death as
the average size of the larger shards
of glass was "six to twelve inches in
length". The victim was apparently

First doctorate offered at
CSUSM
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Cai State San Marcos now offers a doctorate degree in education.
The Ed.D. in Education Leadership is
offered through the College of Education. The degree is awarded in partnership with the Teacher Education program
at the University of California, San Diego
and San Diego State University.
The program focuses on advanced
training in research, professional practice, instructional practice and management within educational institutions.
"The program is designed to be completed in three years, including the writing and defense of the dissertation. Each
student designs a research study and
during the initial two years of the program
as part of the required coursework. We
have designed the program to maximize
the time the students have to study and
engage in class work, as well as complete
the dissertation. We believe the momentum of the program will strengthen the
students' ability to complete the disser-

tation in a timely fashion," said Jennifer
Jeffries, coordinator of the joint doctoral
program for CSUSM.
There are 18 students in the first cohort
of the program.
"With the inception of this program,
Cal State San Marcos joins in the statewide effort to provide a deep pool of
leaders who are intent on expanding educational opportunities and success for
the K-12 students in our region. This
program will enable the candidates to
translate the best theory into practice.
It reflects our on-going commitment to
the surrounding educational communities," stated University President Karen
Haynes.
Cal State San Marcos is looking forward to joining other CSU and UC campuses in offering the Ed.D. in Educational Leadership.
"This offering adds a new and compelling element to our academic mission.
Our relationship with the K-12 community will be enhanced by providing this
program. I look forward to seeing the
contributions these doctoral students
make to the body of literature about leadership, as well as to the practice of leadership in public schools," stated Cal State
San Marcos Provost, Bob Sheath.
The Black Student Union (BSU) along
with Associated Students Inc. (ASI), the
African-American Faculty/Staff Association (AAFSA), the Arts and Lecture
Series, the Office of the Dean of Students,
the Office of Student and Residential Life
(SRL) and the Ethnic Studies program are
kicking off Black History Month early with
an event tomorrow, January 26, entitled
"Introduction to Black History Month," in
Arts 111 from 6-8 p .m..
In total there are eight events planned
by the BSU and its cosponsors to celebrate Black History Month in 2005. The
number of events this year is up from the
five events held on campus last February.
The President of the BSU Onyinyeh
"Ruby" Udeh attributed the growth to an
"increase in membership (in the BSU)...
not because of the increase in the enrollment of African American Students at
CSUSM but due to the interest and motivation of peers to celebrate with each other."
Udeh expressed her goal of getting
African-American students," to come
together and share our thoughts and opinion on campus life," saying that she felt, "it
would really make a great impact on our
fellow achievers (students)."
"The main thing I would want the students to do during these Black History Month events is to come out and enjoy
themselves. I would like them to come out
and celebrate the African Heritage nothing more, nothing less," said Udeh.
Although the Black Student Union is
the sponsor of this years activities, Udeh
expressed gratitude towards and gave
credit to the cosponsors of the event
saying, "ASI, the AAFSA, the Multicultural department, our advisor Gezai,
the Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard,
SRL .... all have really given the BSU so
much support and encouragement during
all the planning of these events. They have
really contributed a whole lot to make sure
everything runs smoothly. Without these
other organizations I don't know how the
BSU could have done it."
According to the U.S. Department of
State website, Black History Month has

been celebrated since February
1976. Prior to 1976 Negro History Week was celebrated in the
first week of February beginning in 1926. The Association
for the Study of Afro-American Life and History (ASALH)
determines the yearly theme for
Black History Month. This
year's theme is the 100 year
anniversary of the beginning of
the Niagara Movement.
According to the Journal
of Negro History, the Niagara Movement was founded
by civil rights activist W.E.B
DuBois in 1905 in Niagara
Falls, Canada with the goals
of winning voting rights for
WANTED
African Americans, ending
school segregation, and electing officials opposed to racism
and prejudice. The movement
failed to win widespread support from blacks although many
of its ideas were later adopted
by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP) when it was
founded in 1909. In 1910 the
Niagara Movement officially
disbanded.

Fieldhouse: More than a

Different ways to utilize our campus gymnasium
BY PATRICK LONG
Pride Staff Writer
The Cal State San Marcos Field House/
University Student Union offers a wide
variety of amenities to assist students on
campus. The Field House is f unded by
student fees every semester and has yet to
be used to its f ull potential and has many
activities to offer students at no additional
cost.

building. The weight room is filled with
modern equipment from free weights to
cardio equipment. The workout areas offer
not only an up-to-date weight room but
also a room for aerobics, volleyball, basketball and other activities sponsored by
the Associated Student Union.
Classes are offered to students on many
topics such as nutrition or stress management. "We offer an array of fitness and
wellness programs for students, faculty
and staff," said Devan Romero, the Field
House Fitness Coordinator. Romero added
that she would be interested to hear from
students and staff on their desire for any
particular health or wellness topic for a
class. These well developed classes are
designed to aid students in their college
life and beyond.
The Field House is hosting a Wellness
Fair exposition on the 9th of March, from
11a.m. to 2p.m. The fair will have vendors,
health resources, food and massage tables.
Throughout March, they are holding wellness seminars that focus on specified subjects with guest speakers.
Also worthwhile is the availability
of spaces set aside for students to hold
meetings or gatherings. According to the
campus website, the Field House offers
plenty of space for students to accommodate group meetings and banquets.
The meeting rooms can be utilized by
any group or organization, with students
having priority booking. With the availability of catering, the Field House is a
great place to hold meeting for clubs and
organizations.

How to doal with the
price of textbooks
BY ZACH SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
"The price of textbooks," say it out loud
and count how many students reflexively
spit. There really is too much empathy
within this issue to enjoy the bubbles of my
soap box, but the dirt has already worked
itself in between my teeth.
"They publish a new edition even when
they don't have much (if any) new information.. .they include some workbook or
cd supplement that you never use but that
greatly affects price and re-sale." These
sentiments don't fester out from only
myself, or you, or even the cute butt at the
front of the buy-back line; they come from
the proprietor of our local off-campus
bookstore.
What, then, does it tell you when someone who earns their bread selling textbooks
lambastes the practices of the very industry that supplies their wares? It means that
you are to blame. No, not the publishers,
not the professors, not those pesky renaissance guys; you. It was you who went to
the campus bookstore instead of E-bay, or
Amazon, or the off-campus bookstore, just
because it was closer is faster is 'easier'.
Actually, there's a very good chance
that you had to park down in the dirt, in
which case the walk to the other bookstore is probably closer by both geography
and topography. So you, try saying this
out loud: "I'm the reason textbooks are
so expensive." Put on your sunglasses or
other protective eyewear first. And even
if you did spit it on the man by completely
circumventing the campus bookstore, I bet
you didn't send a nasty package to the publisher of your latest overweight text, which
you know would be much sexier if they'd
trim it down to only the chapters you'll
read, and even cheaper to photocopy if
purged of everything you won't remember
after the class.
I bet you also didn't ask your professor
to do more than sigh and shake their heads
at how expensive and under-funded the
worms in the landscaping are. These educators are cool and on your side, and that
doesn't make these books any cheaper.
Make sure they tell you where to get these
books at cheaper used prices. Make sure
they say it's okay to not have your book
till a few weeks into the class and in the
meantime borrow it from someone else
or lean against a dark corner in the book-
store. Don't photocopy it, that would be
as unethical as price gouging, and that
might get you in trouble if anyone from
the publisher was monitoring the photocopy machines.
Most of all, talk to your class to make the
class make the professor promise not to use
any new editions for the next four years.
This isn't a currently overwhelming opponent like oil or Wal-Mart or women who
want to use contraception, this is just how
many keeper books you could buy with the
price of one you're hoping to return. This
is a PC upgrade that will be offered free in
another month, this is medicine that hopes
to addict you.
If you bought a book at campus/full
Study Abroad, it's more than just traveling
BY BRIAN REICHERT
Pride Staff Writer
Why not challenge yourself
by studying abroad in a different
country? Enrolling in the California State Study Abroad Program
is as easy as ever. Joining the program consists of filling out a few
applications and getting personal
recommendations. After that,
you can choose to study in such
countries as Sweden, China, Australia, Mexico, or even France.
Each year, there are more student
foreign exchanges opening up in
all parts of the world. Studying
Abroad with California State has
many other advantages as well.
Not only does your home campus
offer more support than any other
system, but it's very affordable as
well. A potential student only
has to pay Cal State tuition and
all financial aid that they are currently receiving can be applied to
all expenses. Also, this is the only
program that lasts two straight
semesters, so students really have
a chance to get acquainted with a
different culture.
Jan Stockey has the title of
the Cal State San Marcos Study
Abroad Coordinator, here on
campus. She is in charge of networking, compiling and sharing
important international information, and overall recruitment
for future programs. In a recent
interview she stated "Most of
the students tell me it's the best
decision they've ever made."
After an informative conversation with the coordinator who
greets everyone with a warm
smile, she concluded saying that
"students always come back and
they have wonderful stories of

price then return it, now. If you think
you can look your professor in the eye ask
them if they benefit in any way from the
sale of a text, ask them if they'd be willing
to aid a boycott. Buy that text used or not
at all and think back to those days when
the whole class got together and took that
walk, somewhere between a field trip and
a bathroom break, to get their textbooks
from the library.
Buy it used or not at all, or become a
ranting English major who has that luxury
every semester. And even if someone else
is paying for them, especially if someone
else is paying for them, the least you can
do is extend a little courtesy to this ethereal someone's very tangible checkbook.
the places they've seen, the great
friendships they've made, and
how much they've learned about
themselves. Believe it or not,
these are not marketing lines;
this is the actual feedback that
students give me every year.
I have also had the chance to
study abroad through Cal State
San Marcos. I can definitely
say that the whole experience
changed my life entirely. I had
the opportunity to study in Santiago de Chile. This sprawling
capital is located right next to
the Andes Mountains and I had
the chance to both live and learn
in a culture which is definitely
modern but with many great customs and traditions. I encourage everyone to study abroad at
least once in your college career.
You will come back with different perceptions, ideas, stories and
many international friends. A fter
all, it's easier than you think and
you never know about something
until you experience it for yourselves.

point the bubble burst. I
don't want this to happen
to us. It's becoming scary
that people are losing their
confidence in the dollar.
President Bush constantly
says he "doesn't want to
push problems to future
presidents or the future
generations," but what we
don't realize is that many
times, he is creating more
problems than solutions.
Last week we saw a set of
extravagant victory parties
for the elected President.
I'm not saying that this
president doesn't deserve
an inauguration, but 50
million is a lot of money.
According to Timothy
Dwyer, Washington
Post Staff Writer, "The
inauguration is expected
st
to be one of the most
expensive in history."
They report that the cost
to us tax payers for the 3
days of events will top 50
million. I think this a bit
outrageous especially since
we are in "war time." The
last inauguration (2001)
cost 40 million which is
25% more expensive that
the inauguration in 1997.
So during the next few
years I want all of you
to be skeptical of what
Bush is trying to do for
the country. Especially
the fiscal conservatives
on this campus, ask your
self, is every thing this
president done worth it?
Has he eliminated terrorist
activity or spawned a new
breeding for extremist
Muslims wanting to join
Al-Queda? Is taking a go it
alone policy going to help
us in the so-called "War on
Terror"? In every solution
there are always positives
and negatives, but this
administration seems to
really dismiss the negatives
very quickly. Keep asking
all politicians their plans,
left and right. Ask them:
Is this a solution, or does
it just create a lot more
problems? I personally
feel many actions by
this government will not
be beneficial to us now,
tomorrow, and in the
future. But it takes more
than just the opposition
party tofixthe problem.
We the people mustriseup
and demand accountability
or threaten these elected
officials with their jobs in
2006.

"Assault on Precinct 13" is
a clash between a cop thriller,
a morality tale and occasional
humor. These genres work
well together and the film gives
them their moments. But it also
employs an old and reusable storyline which I affectionately call
"The Rio Bravo Syndrome."
You'll know why in a minute.
Precinct 13 is an old police station ready to be torn down. A
stormy New Years Eve leaves two
cops and a secretary on graveyard shift. When a prison bus
transfer is delayed by a highway
accident, they hold up at the precinct until further notice. But one
of the prisoners is a notorious cop
killer awaiting trial. Suddenly, a
small army tries to invade the
station supposedly to free the cop
killer. The cops and the prisoners
team up to defend the station and
deal with traitors among them.
See, almost identical to the plot
of "Rio Bravo."
The two cops are Jake Roenick

(Ethan Hawke), a former undercover cop where his command left
two of two partners dead (he now
drinks and takes pills to easy his
pain) and Jasper O'Shea (Brian
Dennehy), a veteran on the verge
of retirement. The secretary, Iris
Ferry (Drea de Matteo), has a
turn on for "bad ass" guys. The
cop killer is Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburne), who always has
a quick cool about everything.
The other prisoners are Beck
(John Leguizamo), a babbling
drug addict, Smiley (JaRule), a
street counterfeiter and Anna
(Aisha Hinds), a criminal proclaiming her innocence. Marcus
Duvall (Gabriel Byrne) is the
intelligent and ruthless leader of
"The Facts Behind the
Helsinki Roccamatios"
the small army.
French director Jean-François
Richet, in his American film
debut, knows how to use his characters. No one takes more screen
time than they need to. Byrne can
play any bad guy to its best, its all
in his eyes. Fishburne can carry
any film with just his presence.
Hawke is no John Wayne, but
playing the idealistic honorable
cop once again (Training Day),
isn't cliché or boring, just assured
that he can do it and do it well.
After seeing thisfilmand other
recent cop films, such as "Narc,"
"Training Day" and "Dark Blue,"
the persona has changed; Hollywood has acknowledged the
realism of being a cop. They are
out of shape, have families that
worry, struggle to pay the bills,
cope with alcohol and risk their
lives. For that, I am grateful.

Several ways fulfill your
the CSUSM area
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
Whether new to CSUSM or a returning student, one common theme
unites both: the search for good food. While some students simply stick to
the school cafeteria, many other options also abound and there is actually
a wide range of great eateries in close proximity to campus.
The first and closest restaurant
you need to know about is Mr. Taco.
Just a quickfiveto ten minute walk
across the street, Mr. Taco is a must
not only for its reasonable prices but
also the fact that you do not have to
lose a great parking space to go eat
there.
Most anything that falls in the
A little further down the
road on Twin Oaks Valley
Road and just past the
entrance for the Highway 78
is the Old Spaghetti Factory.
Although prices are a step or
two above those at Mr. Taco
(most meals will run around
$10-$20), the Old Spaghetti
Factory offers a good sit

category of Mexican food can be
found at Mr. Taco, along with lots
of fellow classmates. Plenty of
available seating both indoor and
outside makes Mr. Taco a nice place
to have a casual meal with friends,
plus fast service is helpful for those
who need take-out for their tight
class schedule.
down atmosphere for fans
of Italian food. The private
booths that are prevalent at
the Old Spaghetti Factory are
excellent for small groups
of friends, or even a little
campus romance. Whether
a simple meal is what you
crave, or appetizers, salad,
and desert as well, the Spa-

ghetti Factory is a good
choice for each. The Old Spaghetti Factory can especially
boast its wide range of pastas.
As waiter and Cai State San
Marcos senior Tom Watson
notes, "everybody loves our
spumoni and you can't buy it
in stores!"
If you don't mind a little drive, a
whole host of notable restaurants
can be found one exit west on the 78,
off San Marcos Boulevard. The San
Marcos Brewery and Grill, which is
about a five-minute drive down "restaurant row" on San Marcos Boulevard, is a great micro-brewery to
visit.
Although the number of dishes
available may not be as extensive as
the Spaghetti Factory, the Brewery
does offer a range of styles of food,
including everything from hamburg-
ers to pasta to salad and even seafood.
Prices are comparable to the Spaghetti Factory, but the San Marcos
Brewery does offer one thing other
places near campus don't-their own
beer. One brew of note is the Oatmeal
Stout, which is a terrific dark beer
and must for connoisseur on campus.
Still, if something a little stronger is
desired after a tough day of classes
there are two small pubs across the
street, Penny Lane and Churchill's,
which are also worth a visit.
Also on "restaurant row," and a
good choice for lunch, is Submarina.
A step above most common subsandwich chains, Submarina has a
large variety of subs in three different sizes up to a foot long, with prices
usually in the $5-$10 range.
"The quality of our food is top
notch," notes Kenda Evans who
shares ownership with her husband.
Independently owned from the Submarina franchise, the Evans' Submarina takes pride in its fresh food,
high grade meats, and large portions.
Daily specials and soups also compliment Submarina's array of subs.
And country-like wooden furniture and knickknacks make it a nice
atmosphere inside, as does the quick
and friendly service.
Mr. Taco, Old Spaghetti Factory, San Marcos Brewery and Submarina are
just a few of the notable restaurants available to students on campus, but they
are all definitely worth a visit.

BYCHEZARE MILO

Students, faculty and staff trying to
access University Hall from the main stairway have had t a decide whether avoiding
a fence is better than avoiding a puddle
since the beginning of this semester.
As part of a new plan to alleviate flooding in front of University Hall and in
lower level classrooms when it rains,
Facility Services hired Good and Roberts
contracting to regrade and install a better
drainage system. The construction has
resulted in a large trench and fenced off
area in front of the building.
According to Assistant Director of
Facility Services Steve Waiters, the project began over the semester break and was
scheduled to have been completed before
classes resumed.
Waiters said that when it became apparPhoto by Jason Encabo / The Pride

The Asian Pacific Student Society (APSS) held a donation drive which collected $96.86 to help victims of the recent devastating Indian Ocean tsunami.
The APSS was collecting money in front of the library all last week between 10
a.m. and 2 pm. All donations received are to be given to the International Relief
Team. Vice President of the APSS, Aamara Ysrael said that the amount donated
was a result of not being, "able to publicize, due to the last minute planning of

Thinking about those who have sacrificed their lives in the war in Iraq was
the goal of a memorial entitled "Arlington
West" held in the large lawn adjacent to
the Kellogg Library and Forum Plaza.
The CSUSM College Democrats along
with the Progressive Activist Network
(PAN) and off-campus organization Veterans for Peace staged the memorial on
Tuesday January 25.
According to the Vice President of the
College Democrats, Sarah Leonard, what
originally started out as the efforts of
about four people grew as students from
the Women's Studies Student Association
(WSSA) and the Lesbian Gay Bisexual
Transgender alliance (LBGT) pitched in
to help set up the event. Approximately
a dozen people ended up helping conduct
the memorial.

by the time classes started the fenced
off area was re-arranged to allow access
to the lower level classrooms as well as
the first floor elevator.
Student opinions about the trench
and fenced off area varied. Some didn't
seem to mind the inconvenience, while
others complained about the site.
"It's not really getting in my way,"
said student Clinton McCook.
"It makes me exercise, but it's better
than puddles," said student Coral
Bruni.
Expressing her displeasure, student
Kay Nguyen said the construction area,
"Sucks, it's right in the middle of everything."
Citing heavy rains in December and

When asked to describe who

Barney, American Mensa Public
Relations Manager, said there is
no stereotypical Mensan.
"Mensans are as diverse a

We have members ranging in age
from four-years-old to one hundred; every religion, race, and
profession," said Barney. "Our
members are cab drivers, doctors, CEO's, and stay-at-home
moms."
There are 52,000 American
Mensa members, and 100,000
worldwide Mensans.
Joining Mensa has gotten
somewhat more difficult in recent
years. Up until the mid-1990s, a

Benefits of Mensa membership
include a monthly magazine,
opportunities to meet and mingle

tournaments, and the ability to
add the ultimate icebreaker to

�THE PRIDE
By JASON NICHOLS
P Ä Ombudsman
"Enjoyed the Letter to the
editor, but don't they have to
sign them?"
r
Sally Jo Divis tagged me with
this Q concerning last week's
issue» The best part was the
title of her email, "The Phantom
Writer."
We could use it for a movie.
A mysterious student sends
in a Letter to the Editor challenging the powers-that-be.
As the campus becomes all
engrossed with the identity of
this 'masked' person, we see
the writer in the shadows clacking away on a typewriter. (18
and under: the ancestor to MS
Word.) We could film them
as a series, maybe stopping at
"Phantom Writer IIII: Mystery
of the Large Clock of Academic
H all" (hint, hint)
Well it'd be nice, but I gotta
kill my hypothetical by ending
the mystery. Our "Phantom
Writer" goes by the name Felipe
Zanartu.
The editing team
goofed and kinda sorta missed
the fact that Mr. Zanartu's name
had been c ut I usually take
their words under suspicion, but
I think we can chalk this one
up to an honest boo-boo. The
policy in bold on page two of
this puppy is still in force. The
Editors apologize to Mr, Zanartu for any pain or suffering
that may have occurred as a
result of this incident
I would suggest a doctor to
take care of the matter, perhaps
one from CSUSM's MJD. program, but that was just a misleading photo illustration in the
News section last week. Elizabeth Baldwin with the slick
skills and aid of Jason Encabo
had a pic of a binder with M.D.
on it next to an apple. I've been
informed that we readers were
to make the connection of Med
Doc and apple to translate into
an Ed.D. in Education Leadership, the actual doctorate
offered here. Obviously, Elizabeth and Jason arefrt part of that
program.
(Whisper Mode On: 'Yo
Elizabeth, J. The Docs that put
a stick on your tongue aren't the
only ones around. Those people
in front of class that we call Professors. . .1 hear they're Docs too.
Just thought you should know.)
Above that pic of ambiguous meaning was the question "Looking to become a
doctor?" And above that Q was
a pic of a busted window with
yellow streamers across it: caution caution caution. Another
connection we should make?
Hmmmm.
What I realty dug was that
Mr. Milo wrote in his article of
"Broken glass" that there were
"no suspects for the crime,"
then quotes Officer Hernandez
saying the broken glass likely
resulted from "horseplay" and
not "vandalism."
(Whisper mode on again: 'Yo
Chez. Horseplay ain't a crime.
Just thought you should know.)
Somewhere on campus a
person is sweatin' bullets thinking there's a dragnet out for 4em.
A.P.B.: The suspect is a college
student, between the ages of 18
and 25. Please contact the F.B.I.
if you've seen this person. The
suspect likely frequents the various eateries described in Mr.
Schramm's article "When the
Johhny Carson
BY ALFRED CHU
For The Pride
Ed McMahon's "Hereeee's
Johnny!" is
a
signature
phrase
for
none
other
than the undisputed King of
Late Night talk
show, Johnny Carson, who passed
away on Sunday, January 23, 2005.
He died peacefully surrounded by
his family and friends. He had battled emphysema for many years.
On October 1, 1962, Carson was
introduced as the new host for the
"The Tonight Show" on the NBC
network. For the next three decades,
his monologues and jokes turned
him into an American icon as well
as one of the highest paid entertainers. Carson was nominated for an
Emmy award seven times (1980,
1981, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991)
winning in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979
and 1992. Also in 1992, Carson was
given the Lifetime Achievement
Award in Comedy and the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest honor to a
civilian. Not only being one of the
highest paid entertainers during his
time, at one point he generated 17
percent of NBC's profit.
Not only was McMahon's catchphrase a trademark for the show,
over the years, Carson developed
skits that added to the routine and
which fans expected to see. For
example, if the audience didn'tfinda
particular joke funny, Carson would
either have a microphone lowered to
him and he would say "Attention KMart shoppers" or start tap dancing
while the band played "Tea for Two."
And of course, he ended every night
with a golf swing with an imaginary
club.
Through his own hardships, such
as three bitter divorces and his son
killed in a road accident, he has still
managed to keep others laughing.
Many well known comedians got
their start from his show. Comedians
such as Jay Leno, Ellen DeGeneres,
David Letterman, Steve Martin,
among others all credit Carson for
his generosity and expertise.
Robin Williams and Bette Midler
were his final guests. Midler sang
"One More For My Baby" which
caused Carson to shed a tear.
Although Letterman was the leading contender for the successor
of Carson, the network went with
Leno.
On January 24, "The Tonight
Show" aired a tribute episode to
Carson. Leno, along with McMahon, Bob Newhart, Don Rickles
and Drew Carey expressed feelings
towards their mentor.
Dome won't do."
A nice article by the way Matthew, obviously aided by Encabo's flair for page layout that
was more than compensation for
the misleading Doc illustration
he'd done with Elizabeth. Matthew Schramm neglected my
personal favorite chow-down
spot, but I'll not advertise in this
column. (Sandcrab goodi)
And it'd be nice if Mr. Schramm had covered less obvious locals than those the student
body was already frequenting.
When you think about it, it'd be
like the Union Tribune revealing to us that we have a Convention Center, Stadium, and Race
Track. But we gotta break these
new writers in somehow, so bear
with the regurgitated themes for
now. We'll get better.
Of course, that also refers to
Zach Simon's subtle opinion
that books cost too damn much
(a revelation), Patrick Long
informing us that there exists a
gym in the Field House (another
revelation), and Brian Reichert's
emphatic opinion that studying abroad is good for the soul
(and those revelations just keep
coming).
Brian "had the opportunity to
study in Santiago de Chile" and
apparently liked it well enough
despite Felipe Zanartu's (the
Phantom Writer) observation
that "the USD in Chile has lost
22 percent of its value." And
like the 'caution caution caution' above "Looking to become
a doctor?" we had Brian's travel
ad atop Felipe's dire currency
conversion rate. I'm tossin' my
hands up, I'm so confused...
I'm looking like the picture of
Ethan Hawke in At Chu's review
of "Assault on Precinct 13." Not
the looking like a hotty factor,
but we're sharing the same
expression that communicates a
sense of confusion. The one you
make when
barking spiders arrive
in a crowded
room
and
you just gotta
whiff.

now the A&E editor, and hopefully we won't have any unflattering pics popping up in the

A Regal dupe
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
Tuesday morning I woke up
early, eagerly anticipating the
announcement of this year's
Oscar nominees. Most of the
picks were quite predictable
and fortunately I had spent
the last couple of months
trying to catch a film here or
there so I could be ready to
root for my favorites on Oscar
night. I realized though, that
many of the top contenders
have never even played in
this area, so I signed on to
Sign On San Diego to try and
track them down. Much to my
dismay, I found out that if I
wanted to see "Being Julia,"
Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride
I would have to trek down to
Horton Plaza, and if I wanted
to watch "Finding Neverland," I would have to drive to
Poway or Temecula. "A Very
Long Engagement" is in Hillcrest and "Ray" is playing in
the Gaslamp.
I have to question why all
three of the theatres in the general proximity of San Marcos
mostly play the same movies.
I remember that when the
Signature Theatre was built
in Escondido they promised
that they would reserve one
of the theatres to play "art"
films. Since the Regal whale
swallowed up the Signature,
it has merely become a clone
of the San Marcos Theatre.
Surely the Krikorian Metroplex in Vista could break out
of the mold and show something different, but no, they
offer the same homogenized
fare as the Regal.
It is frustrating that moviegoers in North County have
to brave the 1-15 in order to
see a film that might be out
of the ordinary. The theatres
around town need to wake
up and realize that they need
to offer a wider variety and
acknowledge that people in
San Marcos deserve to see
these films on the big screen
and not be forced to wait until
they come out on DVD.

THE PRIDE
Into uncertainty
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
At the tender age of 18, some people
reading this would come to question my
ability to read the culture of my generation
and also the "experience" that I have in it.
But it is not so much the extent of "experience" I have, as to how much I realize
things in a new light after these 18 years
on this planet. It seems to me that everyone
is trying to reach a goal - however these
people, me included, don't seem to have
the slightest idea of what that goal is.
Some of my friends are so set in their
ways about what they want to do after college and their talk of all the millions they
will be making makes me question what I
really want. I have no clue of what I would
like to do in the future and I don't know
how I'm going to get there, it is just one of
the many wonders in life that I like to call
growing up. But these days my generation
has procured a certain inamiable sense of
life. Everyone just expects to procure this
vast quantity of wealth and a consump-

tion of knowledge in what seems to be an
instant. But I wonder is it just me that is so
confused about my life that I can't seem
to pull myself into one direction? Or could
it be that the countless masses in college
right now are thinking the same thing, and
are just to obscure and frightened to reveal
to themselves, that their assiduous effort
has gotten them absolutely nowhere.
These people are all around us and I say
welcome.. .welcome to what I have just
learned to be the first steps out of your
childhood realm where everything just fell
into place. Now I see that it is not me that
plans things, it is the actions of everyone
that plan the pitfalls and the peaks in life
that can make the most dull person, such
as myself,filledwith vital exuberance.

fact that it may be tedious and tiring but
someday, just maybe we will find that
childhood again and cherish what is left of
it for the rest of our lives.

The other nominees in this category
were no surprise, except for Clint Eastwood being nominated as Best Actor for
"Million Dollar Baby," taking the slot that
many assumed Paul Giamatti of "Sideways" would get. Don Cheadle's nomination for "Hotel Rwanda," along with
his co-star Sophie Okonedo's nomination
for Best Supporting Actress, will give the
hard-to-sell film about the 1994 genocide
in Rwanda a much-needed boost in audience. However, a win for Jamie Foxx in
the Best Actor category is the closest thing
this year's race has to a lock.
The Best Actress category will once
again come down to Swank vs. Bening.
In 2000, newcomer Hilary Swank beat
veteran Annette Bening with her performance as a cross-dressing youth in "Boy's
Don't Cry." This year the two, both fresh
off Golden Globe wins, will face off yet
again, but Bening's performance as an
actress looking to revamp her career in
"Being Julia" could hit closer to home for
Academy voters.
There are no clear frontrunners in either
of the Supporting categories. For Best Supporting Actor, the Academy could decide
to honor "Sideways" by giving Thomas
Haden Church the statue, or "Closer"
newcomer Clive Owen, the Golden Globe
winner in this category. Best Supporting Actress is a category in which the
Academy typically bestows the statue on
a young ingénue, so "Closer's" Natalie
Portman's chances are good. However,
the Academy could decide to shake things
up this year, so don't count out Virginia
Madsen for "Sideways" or Laura Linney
for "Kinsey."
The 77th Annual Academy Awards will
air on Sunday, February 27, on ABC.

�The "Hotel" you must check into
BY HEATHER HOFFMAN
Pride Staff Writer
Sometimes movies make you laugh,
sometimes they make you cry, but very
rarely do they open your eyes and force
you to look at the world differently. Hotel
Rwanda is a movie that will change your
life.
It takes place in Kigali the capital city of
Rwanda in Africa, and tells the true story
of a battle between the Hutu and the Tutsi
that killed one million people in 100 days.
These two groups had a long history of
conflict which came to a climax in 1994,
when Hutu extremists attempted genocide
of the Tutsi people.
This movie tells the story of Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle) the house manager of an upscale hotel in Kigali who is
also Hutu, and what he did to save peoples
lives. It is an excellent record of a history
that is unknown to most.
Paul's wife Tatiana (Sophie Okonedo)
and their three children are the most
important thing in his life, and they're
Tutsi, therefore they are a target of the
Hutu's hatred. Paul would do anything to
protect his family from harm, making this
a wonderful story about love and family
as well.
When the President is assassinated, the
Hutu blame the Tutsi and they begin attack-
Photos courtesy of United Artists (MGM)
ing the Tutsi and anyone who associates
with them. As Tutsi are taken from their
homes and murdered, Paul's Tutsi family
and friends run to his house for protection,
he is the only Hutu they trust.
Paul's friends and family are taken by
the Hutu and are not murdered because
Paul offers to pay the Hutu a large amount
of money, which he has to get from the
Hotel Mille Collines where he works and
has access to a lot of money.
The hotel was safe and was protected
by the UN because it had many prominent guests staying there. When the hotel
manager leaves, Paul is given control of the
entire hotel, so he hides his Tutsi friends
away where they will be safe for a while.
When the foreign hotel guests are given a
military escort out of Rwanda, Paul is left
with an unprotected hotel.
Paul uses connections he's made through
his job to keep the hotel and his family
safe. One of these connections is Colonel
Oliver (Nick Nolte) of the UN who is very
useful to Paul and does what he can to keep
the hotel secure with limited resources.
However it is a constant struggle for Paul
to remain in control of the hotel and keep
his guests safe as more and more refugees
show up.
As people everywhere are being murdered, Paul steps up and does something
incredible that most people would not have
the courage to do. He is a hero and because^
of him 1268 lives were saved.
This movie is amazing. It reminds you
that even in the ugliest situations beautiful
things can come out of people. It is heart!
warming to know that one person can take
a stand and make a difference.
The struggle between the Hutu and
Tutsi was largely ignored by the rest of the
world. Anyone with a heart will watch
this film and ask themselves WHY? Why
wasn't anything done to help the situation?
Why was the attempted genocide of an
entire culture ignored by the world?
5th Element: a pearl in the bed of oyster phlegm
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Back in the latter half of the
90s—a decade that tried to claim
immortality by refusing to take
a single title-under the roman-
Photo courtesy of Tristar Home Video
tic dawn of new innovations in
film effects, there occurred a
brief, yet expectedly passionate
affair between America's futurist
action blockbuster and France's
surrealist romance, captured by
MTV and Vogue's self conscious
voyeur isms.
"The Fifth Element" has just
been re-released with two hours
of extras for the geeks' library/
shrine/wall, and a more expensive digitally enhanced version
for those who need new lotion
for the self-pleasure of a bigger
screen (guess which one I'm
holding.) Remembering that I'd
liked this pearl pill in the bed of
oyster phlegm, I wish now that
I'd been there in the theater and
there on the DVD team.
The film itself was still enjoyable enough that I actually
watched the whole thing when
I'd planned to do a recap before
diving into the extras. Not as
many professional actors with
amateur lines, but there are some
close calls, some action with too
much slapstick, some romance
with too much action, but it stands
out as a reminder that afilmenvironment should be total, that a
future world must be remade as
well as expanded, and that an B+
prop still caries more emotion
than an A- digital image.
Switching off widescreen
would have shorthanded this
film, but omitting the option is
a bit underhanded, as was the
potentially more valuable 'fact
track' (think low budget popup video) which provided trivia
everyfiveseconds, then every 15,
then every minute, then every 15
minutes. It would seem someone
either didn't understand ration-
ing, or got lazy, as interesting
facts became more often replaced
by banal observations and yeahsayings.
The extras disc cleverly divides
its main features into the 'visual
element' the 'star(actor) element,' etc., each with a makingof featurette narrated by the
typical photojournalism dropout
equipped with oyer-enthusiasm
and bad jokes. We learn that
the spiritual heroine is in reality a bit shallow, the gruff hero
a bit deeper, and that lip-syncing
opera is even harder as a reluctant alien.
Film tests might just seem a
way to pad the package, and probably were, but the grittier aspects
of filmmaking could as easily
spoil the magic for some people
as enhance a sense of craftsmanship. What used to help gener-
ate interest for the moviegoer can
also counteract buyer's remorse
in the DVD addict.
Buy the movie, great for a
crowd of mixed tastes: violence
but little gore, randiness but little
vulgarity (there's two brief shots
of the heroine's breasts but they
got to keep the PG-13 rating,
which seems only fair considering her supermodel's figure.)
Rent the special edition to make
sure you find the info really gives
you a lasting illusion of being
closer to the professionals.

Parking fees to increase

Every m orning students hunt in the parking lots at Cal. State San Marcos, like sharks
circling their prey, looking f or that great
spot. A s a last resort, students can recoil
b ack t o the d irt p arking lot on the outskirts
of t he campus and hike in. W hat students
may not realize is that the d irt parking is
not going to last because it does not belong

also facing two parking f ee increases in the
next four to five years.

Discount Campus Books gets thé list
Off-campus bookstore agrees to pay for book information
BY MICHAEL D OLAN
Pride Staff Writer
In an agreement dated
December 1, 2004, the Cal
State San Marcos Foundation
and Discount Campus Books
resolved the almost year and
a half conflict over the requisitions f or textbooks assigned
by University professors. The
agreement allows Discount
Campus B ooks access to almost
all of the b ooks used this spring
semester, but at a cost of $1.50
per requisition. With 675 requisitions for the spring semester
alone, that is a cost of $975 for
Discount Campus Books. That
amount is an acceptable cost
for the store that is hoping to
t urn a measurable profit for the
first time.
"We're happy as heck to p ossibly b e making money this
semester," said John Kilby,
manager of the store. With the
requisitions, Kilby said they
have already seen a 30 p ercent
increase in sales this semester
alone. In addition, with an
agreement with the Foundation, Discount Campus Books
can eliminate the lawyer's fees
they have b een paying to keep
the fight going, Kilby said.
The-agreement, which covers
the spring and summer 2005
semesters, will b e renegotiated f or the fall 2005 semester.
Kilby is optimistic about the
f uture negotiations.
" I don't know (how the negotiations will go), I assume they
will go okay," said Kilby.
Prior to this agreement, Discount Campus Books had to
order b ooks for the current
semesters based on previous
semester's orders. This o ften
led to wrong orders of outdated
editions or books discontinued
for particular classes. Some
professors provided book information, but accurate i nformation was not directly provided.
"It is a w in f or the students,"
said Kilby. "Going forward,

Investigation clears police of
wrongdoing, makes suggestions
BY CHEZARE MILO ;
Pride Staff Writer
The formal investigation into CSUSM student and former track star Jason Williams'
complaint about the treatment he received
during his October 20, 2004 arrest following a traffic stop has coribluded that, "the
officers involved in this case acted within
the policies and procedures established for
the CSUSM police department."
Private investigator Lynn Button, a retired
CSU police chief, and CSUSM Literature
and Writing Department Chair Professor
Susie Lan Cassel conducted the investigation into Williams' complaint.
The four page investigation summary,
dated February 1, devoted more than three
of its pages to making recommendations for
change within the CSUSM police department.
The report suggests the creation of a task
force to conduct "an in depth study regarding arrest demographics in terms of race."
In the report, the investigators remark at
the Hispanic arrest rate of 41percent during
the last three years as "deserv(ing) further
review." The report states: "It is troubling
to see that the Hispanic arrest rate is nearly
that of the white arrest rate and nearly
double the percentage of Hispanic students
on campus."
Other recommendations in the report
include the commencing of an internal
review by University police of the department's arrest statistics in regards to race and
to present those findings to the vice president
and president of the university, the establishment of a community oversight committee to review arrests "to ward against race
inequity" was also recommended as well
as changing the complaint procedures to
be "both student-friendly and statistically
useful." The documenting of traffic stops
and arrests "to ward against racial profil-
BOOKSTORE, f rom page 1
ing," the adoption of a community policing
model, the training of CSUSM police officers in "cultural sensitivity" and the changing of University police reports to contain
"more descriptive facts" rounded out the
report's recommendations.
Interim Chief of University Police Aaron
Woodard said^he felt that the investigation
was, "complete and thorough," and that he
"felt good about" the officers' in the complaint being cleared of wrongdoing. "Anyone
investigating (the case) would have come to
the same conclusions," said Woodard.
When asked about the recommendations in the investigation report, Woodard
said that many of the recommendations are
already being implemented.
"We (University police) have to and are
doing more to get the people to get to know
who we are," said Woodard. He declined
f urther comment o n specific recommendations within the report citing the current review of the report within the campus
policing task force.
Jason Williams expressed his disappointment that the officers were cleared
and remarked that the findings were, "how
i thought everything would work out," and
that he was "trying not to let things like this
get me down."
Williams said that he was concerned that
the clearing of the officers involved in his
traffic stop sent the wrong message to the
campus and community at large.
"It is like saying that this was OK. What
do you think the justice system will do to
me? What do you think is happening to
those not in colleges?" said Williams.
Expressing his belief that university police
should be more of a p eacekeeping force
than a strict enforcement agency Williams
said, "no one should be getting arrested on
college campuses unless there is a big emergency."

I hope to get 90-95 percent of the books
assigned." This semester, the off campus
alternative got about 85 percent of the books,
Kilby said.
In addition to book sales, Discount Campus
Books is offering tax service for students for
the first time this semester.
"We will keep selling books at a discount,
but we will expand to include other services,"
Kilby said.
The representatives from the Foundation
who negotiated the agreement with Discount
Campus Books were out of the office on
Monday and unavailable for comment.

THE PRIDE
Haynes speaks
to community
J ^ VV k J
PARKING, from page 1
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
President Karen S. Haynes presented her first
report to the community, "Building Vital Communities," in the Clark Field House, February 3.
According to the President's website, approximately 130 members of the community paid $15
to hear President Haynes' speech with a breakfastJxiffet on the side.
The Pride did not attend the event, but did
receive a copy of President Haynes' speech from
the Office of Communications.
Haynes' speech read CSUSM's current slogan,
"We're Building a Place for You," has become
outdated and fails to highlight all of the expansion the campus has undergone in the past 15
years.
According to Haynes' speech, "We have now
built a place for you. We are ready to move from
our past success to significance, building vital
communities through education and partnerships."
The speech outlined three essential building
blocks to expand our "vibrant and Vital commun i t y " - academic excellence, cultural and intellectual vibrancy, and the final block is civic leadership.
Haynes' speech stressed academic excellence
is the top priority. The university will continue
to develop new academic majors and expand on
existing programs to meet the needs of the community.
"As these new majors and concentrations are
rolled out, they will include the strengths of our
existing programs and what has built our academic reputation to date: writing and second
language requirements, use of technology, problem solving and teamwork approaches to learning, and community service," as read in Haynes'
speech.
call for similar parking fee
increases for faculty.
The plan* went into effect
under the direction of
former CSUSM President
Alexander Gonzalez (July
1998 - June 2003), before he
moved on, as a ten year plan
to help accommodate the
expected increase in enrollment. Since Cal. State San
Marcos is considered a
commuter school, most of
the students drive to school
and the demand for parking space will increase with
enrollment.
Unlike San Diego State,
where they have 36,000
students and 12,000 parking spaces, students here
at CSUSM always have a
place to park, even if it is in
the dirt lot and Parking Services wants to keep it that
way.
Robert Williams, the
Coordinator of Business
Operations & Technology,
Parking Services, explained
how in order to pay for new
spaces on campus, Parking
Services has to come up
with its own money.
"We are self supporting. .. (and) many people do
not realize how expensive it
is," said Williams.
Money designated to
schools from the state of
California cannot be used
for parking services and the
expense of building just a
flat surface is increasing in
California.
"Many people do not realize how expensive it is," said
Williams talking about how
the cost of construction and
labor in California has gone
up. He said that a flat surface to fit 1200 spaces will
run about 354 million dollars.
Williams also said that the
plan to build a parking structure in 2010 will probably
run about 18 million dollars.
Williams also talked about
the difficulty to get approval
for such construction.
"It's like buying a house,"
said Williams, "Parking services has to apply for loans,
we have money in the bank,
and we have to get preapproved for any of these
construction projects to get
underway."
When asked why students
must bare the brunt of the
fee increase alone he said

Cougar Bazaar
brings businesses
to campus
BY A DIA BESS
Pride Staff Writer
Many different organizations
and vendors fill the tables and
tents that are sprinkled around
our campus known as the Cougar
Bazaar.
Their visits to our campus may
seem sporadic, however there is
a scheduled time set aside once a
month for them to set up shop.
Getting vendors on our
campus is a fairly easy process.
The majority of vendors and
organizations solicit the school
and ask to set up booths.
Marc D eGuzman, vice president of finance of Associated
Students, Inc., is the head of the
Cougar Bazaar. H e stated that
the first step for a vendor is t o
fill out a n application, and if the
vendor is seen as relevant to stu-

dents, they then pay a f ee of $55
per day or $255 p er week. The
fee for each vendor is the same,
and includes tables supplied by
ASI. Vendors do have to pay f or
their own parking and fight for it
like the rest of us.
All of the proceeds f rom the
vendor fees are another source
of revenue for ASI, which uses
these f unds for student activi-

who then said that he did buy

" I don't m ind them being

student Talisha St. John. "A lot

St. John.
In the past, students have not
had a say in which vendors they
would like to see on campus,
but D eGuzman stated that this
was something they would
add to their suggestion cards
in the f uture. Perhaps students
wouldn't feel so indifferent if
some of the vendors were picked
by them. ASI usually posts the

Plaza. The next stream of vendors are scheduled to b e here in
March.
T he area around Commons
and the Founders Plaza smelled
of smoke f rom the brief fire that
followed the explosion. The San
Marcos Fire Department was
called out to inspect the light and
t he interior of Commons 206 to
ensure there was no danger of
a residual fire. The inspection
revealed no f urther danger.
Members of the Alpha Chi

occurred.
"It literally j ust popped o ff,"
said sophomore Jacelyn Foley.
" Then a fire started behind it."
' It smelled real b ad," said
Christina Salter, sophomore. The
sorority was meeting to discuss

CSUSM to host Ishmael Reed
Tuesday, February 8,2005
T HE PRIDE
Renowned poet to speak on campus February 15
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
As part of Black History
Month, students will have the rare
opportunity to experience the wit
and humor of Ishmael Reed, one
of America's most original and
controversial African-American
authors.
Ishmael Reed's body of work
r uns the gamut. From novels,
poetry and songwriting to television production, publishing, playwriting and magazine editing. He
has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, and was twice a finalist for the National Book Award.
He was awarded a MacArthur
Fellowship in
University
since the late
1960s.
One
of
Reed's most
recent essays, "Another Day at
the Front," is a deftly crafted
social criticism of the homefront
war. America's long tradition of
racism is explored in this work,
which evokes deep emotional

Brotherhood Association
responses f rom its readers. One
of the purposes of his work has
been to provoke people to think
differently about their culture
and their place in society.
Reed
-is
a master of
collage and
improvisation,
with
the
ability
to entertain
his audience
with humorous exaggeration and sharp wit. He is often
misunderstood because satire
and irony cannot be appreciated
if the audience does not have the
appropriate background to comprehend his ideas. Much of his
satire is aimed at the status quo
and sometimes his readers are
offended by his idea of "Neohoodooism," a name Reed coined
to describe his philosophy of
accepting many truths.
Reading one of Reed's novels
like "Mumbo Jumbo" or "Yellow
Back Radio Broke Down" is a
challenge, but it helps one gain a
sense of his perspective of black
culture in*America. Reed's lecture, "Honoring Black History
Month," promises to be as entertaining and thought provoking
as his books, poetry and essays.
It will be presented February 15
at 7:00 p.m. in Arts 240. Seating
will be limited, so early arrival is
recommended.

There is a growing resentment
in this country against homosexuals. It's bad enough that the
president and so many other politicians are invoking their religion
on us, but now the debate against
homosexuals is to make sure
they are'denied the rights of any
type of heterosexual union. I ask
people all the time "Why do you
care if they get married? Does
it impact you personally? Would
it affect your pocket book?" The
answer to most is no with a condition. They say allowing this
will tear apart the moral fabric
of America. America, a country
in which 1 in 3 women are raped,
were people of color are unreasonably searched and arrested,
and where we send our children
off to war on false premises. All
of these immoral acts occurred
on this very campus last semester. I hope they are not talking
about that America.
I was told by one man "I don't
want to have to explain to my
children why gays are allowed
to marry " That could be a valid
point, but consider this: 50 years
ago about at least half of the
U.S. citizens, most which were
Anglos, were saying "I don't want
to have to explain to my children
why interracial dating or marriage is acceptable?' The separation of church and state has been
so blurred in this country. If the
church refuses to marry these
people in "Holy Matrimony,"
than the state should. Why does
the church have so much power
on a legal binding contract such
as marriage? As far as I know
though I could be wrong many
gays do not intend to be part of
this patriarchal Judeo-Christian
institution. By not belonging to it
however, they are denied family
rights such as, family visitation,
inheritance, and much much
more. If I can ask anything of my
fellow comrades, it is not to support the church in its role in the
government. We kick them out
for a good reason; do not let them
dictate what is moral.
Remember church and state
are separate.

The price to park
on pavement
bychezaremilo
Pride Staff Writer
As if the $158 price students have to shell
out for the privilege to park on campus lots
isn't enough, there is a $100 fine if you
happen to park in the wrong lot.
Last week while looking for a parking
spot, I realized that there were some open
spots in lot K, adjacent to campus police
and the University Village apartments.
Without noticing the sign saying "UVA
parking only," I parked in one of the many
open spots in the lot.
When I returned to my vehicle I found
the $100 parking ticket and realized my
mistake. Fine, my fault for not being
observant and wanting to park on pavement, but is $100 an appropriate fine?
As Patrick B. Long writes this week
in his article about parking on campus,
Parking Services is self-supporting, so I
assumed the $100 fine was a way for Parking Services to support itself. A fter talking
with Patti Hale at Parking Adjudication, I
learned that Parking Adjudication receives
all fine monies a fter $5 goes to the state.
Hale also informed me that under state
law, Parking Services and Parking Adjudication are separate and fine monies can't
b e used for parking improvements. Funds
collected f rom parking tickets can be used
to finance Parking Adjudication and alternative transportation funding.

Basically my $100 fine will go towards
services I will never use.
I j ust don't understand the rationale
behind making students bear the cost of
parking improvements and/or alternatives
while receiving no relief.
The price of parking remains the same
as the availability of parking spaces goes
down. Something is wrong.
Last semester I could almost always find
available parking on the pavement during
peak hours, but now with a total enrollment increase o f295 students, I have a hard
tinie finding parking outside of the dirt
lot. Being that this is largely a commuter
campus, it was unfair and irresponsible to
not increase available, easily accessible
paved student parking to accommodate
the additional parking volume.
I feel ripped off for having to pay $158
for a parking spot that either requires I
park on dirt and walk for 20 minutes to get
to class or show up to campus when the
sun comes up. We, the students, pay the
same amount of money and get less - it's
just not right.
If CSUSM accepts more students, there
need to be adequate increases in services to
assure the same availability and quality of
the service, and already cash-strapped Students shouldn't bear the cost of improvements they will never use.

l i l l l S i Eastwood's "Baby" proves buzz-worthy
BY Y VONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
The Oscar b uzz is in f ull
swing and movie f ans are waiting to find out if the Academy
will choose to honor a l ife story
about real people or a compelling story about real life.
Clint Eastwood's "Million
Dollar B aby" is yet another
boxing movie, but it is much
more than that. It is a film
that challenges the viewer by
a ffirming life as well as pointing out how f ragile it can be.
Hillary Swank plays Maggie,
a trailer-trash waitress who
dreams of t raining to become
a champion boxer. She j oins a
worn-out old g ym owned by
Frankie, played by Clint Eastwood. H e h as n o interest in
training a "girly," but even-
Break beats

ask yourself. But
when the acoustic guitar kicks
in, it seems to
fill a whole other genre.
Teaming u p with Ben Gibbard
(Death Cab for Cutie), Jimmy Tamborello (Dentl) wound up incorporating a whole new scene for the kids
lost among this emo/punk era. Fanciful lyrics and beats upon beats lead
u p to The Postal Service's first album
release "Give Up." Deep lyrics and
references to subjects like d rug abuse
- and being trapped within ourselves
compliment the free-flowing, u pbeat tempo of songs like "Such Great
H eights"
The Postal Service's recent success is due to the f act that their lyrics
resonate with t oday's youth, and fill
a void f or t oday's adolescent. With
songs ranging in vocal precision and
intricate b ass chimes, t he song "Clark
G able" gives young audiences a great
feeling of welcome and support in this
society of structure.
A s f ans wait for their next release,
it is certain that despite wherever they
tread musically, The Postal Service
will achieve an unprecedented success among youth of all generations.

tually agrees to t ake her on.
Morgan Freeman plays Eddie,
a f ormer fighter who lives in
the g ym and works as t he custodian, and n arrates the story.
The screenplay was w ritten by
Paul Haggis, who adapted the
story f rom "Rope B urns: Stories From the Corner."
The overall look of the film
is very dark with many night
scenes and characters filmed
in t he shadows. Eastwood's
camera and lighting techniques
create a very distinctive mood
that makes t he dialogue even
more dramatic. Much of the
story takes place in a gritty,
dilapidated old g ym that looks
like it belongs in a third-world
and he has nailed the perfect
formula of casting, cinematography and performance. It
will not b e a surprise to anyone
when he picks u p the award for
best director and Swank captures best actress. "Million
Dollar B aby" is probably the
best film o f2004, but it remains
to b e seen if it will actually b e
honored with that title.
country rather t han in Los
Angeles.
T he first two-thirds of the
film moves rather slowly, but it
allows the audience to develop
a genuine a ffection f or the
characters and prepare them f or
a dramatic plot twist. Swank's
character evolves physically as
she t rains and her superb athleticism is matched only by her
considerable acting skills.
Eastwood is, f or the most
p art, convincing in his role
as trainer. The choice for
him to b e reading Yeats and
learning Gaelic seems a bit of
stretch, but for a 75-year-old
guy, he still rocks. This is the

Making TV your reality
Are you ready to be a star?
BY JOELLE M. F RANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
Do you want to date a soap
star? Is your dog in need of a
makeover? Does your lifestyle
rival Paris and Nicole's?
If you answered "yes" to any
of these questions, you could
be the next wannabe celebrity
in prime time.
You no longer need a resume,
acting classes, or even a temporary job working as a waiter
in a chic Holly wood diner to
make it in show biz. As long
as you have a computer with
internet access and an insatiable itch for fame, you are on
your way to stardom.
But how many more reality
TV shows can they actually
come up with? It is clear that
the airwaves are oversaturated
with dating debacles, make-

Gorskys.com offers a variety
of new and fresh ideas for reality TV shows that you're sure
to get a kick out of. Some of
these include: "Survive or you
die!" - - Get a bunch of psychopaths onto a small deserted
island, give them each a piece
of dental floss, a teddy bear,
and a piece of paper. Last one
left alive gets declared legally
sane. "Cani-brother" - - Put
10 people on a desert island
and each week they decide
who gets to be eaten. The one
who survives wins. "DutchOven" - - Place 10 contestants
iii a very small room and feed
them eggs arid beans so they
fart alot. They can pull out at
anytime when it gets to be too
much for them. The last one
left in the room is the winner.
As our nation's airways
continue to be overwhelmed
with a wide variety of lessthan-excellent programming,
\yhat is a college student to
do? Sit at home like a couch
potato and watch other people
eat bugs, get transformed by
queer-eyes, and run around
naked on islands, or should we
strike while the iron is hot and
get in on the action?

And so did I, the first 60 percent of it;
snuck in like this man already had the job
and I was already in his class and already

What he dropped, what I caught, what we
might have shared had you been one of the
hot chicks present (I could count them on
one hand.. .not including the thumb) but you
weren't; it was mostly faculty, and middle

weren't faculty, listening as he jerked his

his assassination in the back row.
Though variety was apparently present
on the whole, in my 40 percent the work

His capacity to teach CSUSM students

A walk along the beach is always a romantic

At almost 2,000 feet, this is the longest pier on
the west coast, so if her Manolo's are putting on
the squeeze, there's a shuttle that will take you
the length of the pier for a mere 50 cents.
If you've got a little extra cash, there are plenty
of restaurants in the vicinity, but packing your

Formed where fresh water and salt water meet and
stirred up by wave and tidal action, coastal wetlands
are a unique and dwindling resource for California
wildlife, and the estuary at Batiquitos Lagoon is no
exception.
Batiquitos Lagoon provides habitat for 185 bird species, 65 fish species, and numerous native plants, so
pack some sandwiches and a camera, tell your sweetheart to wear hiking boots, and see if you don't end up
with a Kodak moment or two.
To reach Batiquitos Lagoon, take Hwy. 78 west to

Batiquitos Drive. Turn right on Gabbiano Lane to reach

Students face difficulties
getting advising services
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
Jason Edwin Williams was at
the height of his school and athletic career when he was arrested
by CSUSM police on October
20, 2004 following a traffic stop that
occurred on
campus.
The
22year-old
junior communication
major had earned a 3.0 grade
point average the previous
semester and was running the
400meter hurdles for CSUSM on
a scholarship, boasting times that
placed him within the top 25 of
all Division I and Division II colleges for that event.
Following the October 20
In an effort to aid frustrated students,
the CSUSM History Department, under
the direction of Dr. Patricia Seleski, has
recently contacted Advising Services in
hopes of regaining some control over major
advising. The decision came after numerous
complaints to the History Department and
instructors from students over the inability
of Advising Services to meet their needs.
Although history professors have attempted
to deal with the individual advising needs of
its students in the past, a more concentrated
effort is now underway to deal with the issue.
Student problems with advising have been
especially rife with history majors, probably
because of the major's special requirements
such as themes and portfolios.
The most common complaints that history professors have received from students is the lack of advising availability. For
example, history major Claudia Hernandez

arrest, Williams was charged
with failure to stop, possession of an open container of
alcohol and felony possession of a deadly weapon (steak
knife). The charges have since
been reduced to an infraction
of having an open container of
alcohol in his vehicle and misdemeanor possession of a knife on
a college campus, which in total
carry a possible sentence of up
to a year in jail and a substantial
fine.
Williams said that the traffic
stop was unwarranted as well
as the subsequent search of his
vehicle. He also said was he
was treated inappropriately by
officers. Williams filed a formal
complaint against the officers
involved in the stop, CSUSM
Police Officers Bronson, Pike,
Sainz and Panza. An independent investigation conducted
following the complaint concluded on February 1 that, "the
officers involved in this case
acted within the policies and
procedures established for the
CSUSM police department,"
and made numerous recommendations for change within the
department.
"I did nothing wrong," said
Williams when asked if he felt
he was unfairly targeted by
police.
Williams said that despite the
embarrassment of going public
with his arrest it was, "the risk I
had to take to let people know."
Williams said that he was
unfairly targeted by police due
to his race. He said he felt compelled*^ tell his story because
he wanted others to "know how
things are in the world."
Williams talked about the
details of his arrest and subsequent impact it had on his everyday life.
THE pride
"While I was in jail I g0t
jumped for pissing in the wrong
urinal," said Williams. He talked
about how he was attacked in jail
several times and was put in the
same cells with murderers.
A fter his time in police custody, Williams said he had problems sleeping and studying, and
as a result his grades suffered.
He said he was asked to quit the
track team following what he
described as 'racial separation'
amongst team members. Williams said he quit the team to
avoid further conflict.
"Basically, if this whole thing
had never happened, I would be
winning titles right now," said
Williams.
He said his legal worries are
constantly on his mind due to the
fact he cannot afford a private
attorney. Williams also worries how he will pay for tuition
and other expenses next semester now that he no longer has his
track scholarship.
Despite the legal and financial
setbacks as a result of his arrest
and pending trial, Williams still
aspires to be an educator. He
also is currently in a local rap
group Elm Street.
"I am trying not to let things
like this get me down," said Williams.
When asked what he wanted
the readers to know Williams
said, "In this society people are
so quick to judge others on the
way they look, talk, and dress,
never seeking to find the truth
inside. We are in college. This
is where we learn about new cultures, new people and new ways
of thinking. For once let's begin
judging individuals for who they
are and what they stand for,
because no matter what religion
or belief you have you eventually will be judged for how you
treated others."

THE PRIDE
ADVISING, from page 1
attempted, beginning in October 2004,
to make an advisement appointment
via the Advising Services Web Scheduler. For six weeks, Hernandez was
unable to reserve a space due to the
huge flood of requests that barraged
Web Scheduler every Monday morning when it opened. When emailing
Advising Services directly did nothing to resolve the problem, Hernandez
turned to one of her history professors
for advisement. A number of frustrated
history majors have similarly fallen
back on their teachers for advisement
assistance.
Many of the advising problems that
have been frustrating students lately
have their root in thefinancialcutbacks
that recently affected CSUSM. Aside
from having funding for both advisors
and staff slashed, Advising Services
also underwent a number of structural
changes that included gaining advisement aspects that had previously been
regulated to professors. At the same
time there has been a continual influx
of students to the campus, all of who
need advisement, only adding to the
woes of Advising Services. In other
words, Advising Services has become
smaller while taking on more responsibilities.
Despite the immediate problems,
both the history and advising departments stress that they look forward
to working together to better serve
student needs. The department was
"really decimated" by the loss of
funds, but has been "trying to be
really creative to meet the challenges"
said advising director Andres Favela.
Looking towards the future, Favela's
department is attempting to imple-
ment a recovery plan to help counter
the hits it took from the financial cutbacks including experimenting with
group advising sessions and walk-in
appointments which the department
implemented temporarily last fall.
Advising Services is aware of the disputes students are having and see the
recent decision by the History Department as a good development which
will hopefully relieve some of the
problems for students. In the meantime
Favela advises students to be proactive
when it comes to seeking advisement,
a sentiment echo by the history department.
Yet despite its efforts, many students
still feel ignored by Advising Services.
History major, Theresa Francis has
been proactive in her attempts to work
with Advising Services yet has continually run up against a brick wall.
In September 2004, Francis submitted
her form for grad check only to get it
back with the incorrect history themes
listed. Despite numerous attempts to
contact Advising Services and remedy
thè problem, Francis has been unable
to correct the situation, and has had
difficulties in getting Advising Services to respond.
The relief of problems with grad
checks is one of the major issues the
History Department will be tackling
immediately. "Advisement is almost
as important as instruction," notes
history professor Dr. Jill Watts, who
echoes Advising Services complaint
that financial cutbacks and structural
issues have hampered advisement.
Students need the "whole educational package" said Watts, a thought
that many teachers and students hope
will be met with future cooperation
between the two departments.

Franchises are
coming our way
|I M l
CSUSM Foundation working to bring
outside eateries to campus
BYADIA BESS
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM is in the process of
increasing the variety of brand
name eateries on campus to supplement the food service currently offered in the Dome.
Many students on campus are
reluctant to eat at the generic eateries in the Dome for a variety of
reasons.
"Sometimes I get sick off of the
food on campus, and it's not the
best quality we could have," said
student Jackie Espinoza.
"There's not a lot to choose
from," said student Marco
Garcia.
Yet many students are unaware
that Cal State San Marcos could
not bring permanent franchises
on our campus due to the low student population.
"Most franchises require a student head count of at least 10,000
to even consider setting up on a
college campus, and Cal State San
Marcos is only around 7,500,"
said Pam Edmonson, director of
Commercial Services for the Cal
State San Marcos Foundation.
"We didn't meet the criteria of
outside operators."
It seemed like there would
never come a time when outside restaurant franchises would
come to fruition at Cal State San
Marcos. That was until Starbucks arrived on campus.
The Starbucks in Kellogg
Library was the first stepping
stone for other vendors.
"Bringing Starbucks on our
campus was not easy," said
Edmonson, "a lot of negotiation
and persuasion went back and
forth between Starbucks Company and the Foundation."
The Starbucks across the street
at the Campus Marketplace shopping center had to give their okay
for the Starbucks on campus
before it could be completed. The
final agreement put the CSUSM
Foundation in control of Starbucks making it a licensed store
that pays a portion of proceeds
back to Starbucks. Edmonson
feels this is the best way to bring
outside franchises onto campus
because the control would be
in the hands of the University
and not the company. She said
that giving the university control over franchises on campus is
more beneficial to students who
need part time jobs because they

can apply for employment at the
franchises directly through the
CSUSM Foundation.
Now that other businesses are
looking at Cal State San Marcos
as a place to make money,
Edmonson has begun speaking
with Subway and Smoothie King
in the Campus Marketplace.
Both franchises are in the process
of working an agreement with the
CSUSM Foundation to test how
their products would fair on our
campus.

quickly with any franchises recognizing that there are changing
trends with foods.
"Just look at the fast food
chains that are incorporating low
carbohydrate menus. And on our
campus, the sale of bottled water
has gone up over the sale of bottled soda in Cougar's Corner and
Cougar's Den," said Edmonson.
Changes may not happen right
away, but Edmonson and the
CSUSM Foundation are working
on them. According to Edmonson, there will be a small space
reserved in the new business
building for food service but no
decision as to what kind of food
service has been made. Allowing brand name vendors to set up
carts around the Arts building
is also currently under consideration.
The CSUSM foundation is
inviting student input and is setting up an online food service
survey for the fall of 2005.

Thinking about getting an iPod?
The pros & cons of shelling out big bucks for music at your fingertips
BY JULIE OXFORD
Pride Staff Writer
The Apple iPod is filling the ears and
pockets of consumers everywhere. It is
rare to walk around this campus without
seeing the signature white earbuds donned
by students who just can't live without
their music. When asked about her iPod
CSUSM student Lindsay Waiters said, "I
am a total proponent. I have nothing but
good things to say about it." So what is it
and why is it so coveted?
The Apple iPod has gone through seven
different designs (including the iPod mini,
the iPod shuffle, and the iPod photo.) The
current design, the fourth generation iPod,
has two models. One has 20GB, holds up
to 5,000 songs and retails at $299; the other
has 40GB, holds up to 10,000 songs and
retails at $399. There
__.«.—
is an educational discount available which
decreases the prices to
$269 and $369.
One of the favorite options on the iPod
is the shuffle feature,
which allows you to
shuffle through entire
albums or individual
songs. By opting to
shuffle through individual songs you can
have the equivalent of T ^"""™"^™""
your own radio station, without having to
hear that annoying song 18 times a day,
and without commercials.
The 20GB model could play continuously for 13 days without repeating one
song.
Another favorite feature is the On-theGo playlist. This feature allows you to pick
favorite songs, as many as you'd like, and
put them on a playlist. This can be done on
the iPod itself, without using a computer.
You can make multiple playlists and each
one is saved individually. It's like making
a mixed tape or cd, in less than two minutes.
You can also use the iPod as a backup
hard drive, as an organizer (it includes
contacts, calendars and to-do lists), as a
voice recorder (by purchasing the Griffin
iTalk voice recorder), or as portable storage for your digital photos (by purchasing
either the Belkin digital camera link or
media reader.)
A fully charged iPod battery can last
up to 12 hours. Other options for power
include a car adapter, an a/c adapter, and
the Belkin AA battery pack, for those
times when there are no plugs.
The iPod can be played through your
car or home stereo using a tape adapter or
the Griffin iTrip. The iTrip transmits your
music through a station on your FM dial.
It has gotten mixed reviews though, with
complaints of music cutting in and out, a
beeping noise when there is no signal, and
occasional distortion or interference.
When you first get your iPod the initial
transferring of music will take some time.
First, your music has to
be put on your computer.
When you do this you
have to input the information for each album
(artist, song, and album
titles) through your
itunes folder. This could
take several days, weeks,
or even months. Then
once all of your music
is on your computer you
plug in your iPod and all
the files transfer over.
Xhis can take anywhere
from 30 minutes to two hours, depending
on how many songs are being transferred.
The reason why everyone wants it: the
iPod allows you to have all of your music
with you at all times. The days of picking
out cd's to put in your car changer or your
cd case are gone. Lindsay Watters said, "I
can go anywhere with it, traveling is so
much easier now."
So what happens if it breaks?
Unfortunately iPods have been known
to simply stop working. Sometimes the
unit may get stuck on one song, or the unit
will turn off and not turn back on.
There are directions and a tutorial on
troubleshooting for your iPod at apple,
com/support/ipod/. Often the unit simply
needs to be reset. But sometimes there is

The entire process is very quick. It only Most of us, however, don't want a refurbished product. We paid $300+ for a new,
and functioning, iPod and that is what we
want. But according to the representatives
from customer relations there is no way to
guarantee that you will receive a new iPod
in place of a defective one.
I own a third generation iPod. One day
it started making funny noises. Then it
would turn off suddenly. Then it stopped
working all together. I filled out the repair
form online and promptly received my
replacement.
Less than a month later my replacement made a couple of funny noises. Then
it turned off and froze. It would not turn
back on or respond in any way. I was not
happy. I called AppleCare Support to find
out how they could help me.
I talked to four different people and
asked them all the same question, 'how
do I get a new iPod or a refund'. I got the
same answer from all of them, there is no
way to guarantee that your broken iPod
will be replaced with a new iPod, and you
cannot get a refund. This made no sense to
me because when I received the replacement it included a letter in which Apple
claimed to be, ".. .committed to (my) total
satisfaction." I was definitely not satisfied. I wanted a new iPod or I wanted my
money back. But there was no talking to

with the findings, yet added "It's
great, but that's not the way it is

As to why California still fails

"Funding, lack of commitment

the part of politicians." Though
hard pressed to form a speculation on the reason behind these
shortcomings, he imagined there
would be more work for foreign language teachers should
they catch up. And if the minimum foreign language proficiency was dropped as a graduation requirement? "Attendance
probably wouldn't be as high in
those lower classes, but then we
could add more at the upper divisions."

Proof of this is
in how the retirement age slowly continues to get older and older.
It's because the government can't afford to pay

putting in quite a bit of
money into this system,

if nothing was to be done and we left the
system as it is, it will cost future generations $10.4 trillion. Then, by 2042,

Despite my best efforts, I did not make

night January 24 show on the premiere
weekend of punk rock legend Duane
Peters' new project The Gunfight. Speeding through the Sunday evening congestion
on the Orange County stretch of Interstate
5 and opening it up to a constant 90 to 100
mph once the traffic broke in Los Angeles
could not overcome a miscommunication
about the scheduled time of the show (9:15,
not 11:00 p.m.). The Troubadour show was
the second show of weekend; fortunately, I
had caught the debut show of the band two
nights earlier at the Galaxy Concert Theatre in Santa Ana.

Guilty Pleasures: The TV shows we can't miss
T he O.C.
BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Every Thursday night at eight
o'clock I turn the phone off, get
into my jammies, and get comfortable on the couch to watch "The
O.C."
There, I said it. I will admit that
I am a fan of "The O.C." I love
this high school drama show that
makes light of sex and substance
abuse.
This season unfolded more

and rebellious behavior. Many
new characters have emerged, such
as Caleb's bastard daughter Lindsay; Alex the rebel with purple
streaks in her hair; Summer's new
beau Zach (who is oddly similar to
Seth...except Zach is way cuter)
and Sandy's old flame has come to
the O.C.
Even with all of the makings of
a hit series, I often ask myself how
I got hooked on such an asinine
show. The plot is formulaic (except
Marissa turning lesbian.. .didn't
see that one coming), the acting
is horrendous (Marissa's awkward
scenes with hottie newcomer Alex)
and the costumes (if you could call
them that) are totally sexist. I can
scarcely recall Marissa or Summer
wearing anything that covered up
their fantastic cleavage.
Yet, week after week I am drawn
to "The O.C." Maybe it's the bad
acting, or maybe it's the suspense
that keeps me coming back for
more. Whatever the reason, I actually feel my I.Q. dropping a notch
or two after each episode, and at
this rate, I'll never get into Mensa.
Who cares, "The O.C." is way
cooler.

My guilty pleasure is South Park; I drop whatever I'm doing and make time to watch each new
episode.
Full of racist epithets, foul language, and
poor taste, South Park is the ultimate parody of
American life; every episode is so wrong that I
have to laugh out loud.
My guilt stems from the fact that unquestioning individuals, and/or children, will see Kenny's recurring bloody dismemberment and Mr.

Slave's sexual antics in the classroom as appropriate behavior rather than outrageous. The only
way I can justify supporting the show through
my ritual viewing is that the antics of Cartman,
Stan, Kyle, and Kenny are not only entertaining, but bring important social issues to light.
Parody is unique in its ability to make people
see the absurdities that are occurring around us
all the time, and perhaps consider other views
before automatically holding on to learned societal norms.
Mr. Hanky the Christmas poo serves an
important societal role
.yeah right!
Dare I admit my addictive
obsession with E's reality TV
show "Love is in the Heir?"
Sad but true, each week I
eagerly tune in to find out about
the exciting and amusing life of
Ann Claire; a London princess
turned country singer/songwriter
in Los Angeles.
Her painstakingly terrible
musical performances, dramatic
exchanges with her unqualified
personal assistant, and her dating
disasters keep me coming back
for more.
Despite the fact that she is the
only person in her family without
an English accent, that she claims
to fear getting cut off from her
parents even though she has her
own TV show, and the atrociously
poor acting that is exhibited by
both her personal assistant and
her personal trainer/boyfriend,
I somehow manage to convince
myself week after week that the
show is real.
After watching this program
religiously for an entire season I
find myself listless, wondering if
and when it will once again reappear on television. Thus far there
has been no mention of any plans
for further episodes on the E!
Network or on their website.
For now I will sit on my couch,
remote in hand, distraught look
on my sad, sad face and long
for the day that "Love is in the
Heir" returns to my TV screen.
Overly dramatic you say? Watch
the show once and you will be
hooked—I'm currently researching treatment programs to rid me
of this misery.

Originally confined to Sunday's late night, it is now
proof positive that the Cartoon Network is not, was never,,

mouth agape in lobotomy-awe for a good five minutes
before one of two reactions: an unnerved notion that TV
is finally spitting in your face, or laughter that leaves you
even wetter.
Some of the shows are/were better than others, but give
them all a wade, a stroke, a dive.
"Adult Swim's" DVD collections might be available
for rent, but buy them, in public, and share in my ecstatic
shame.
Strange Love
BY ADIA BESS
Pride Staff Writer
If you've never seen "Strange Love" then you're missing one
of the oddest shows of all times.
A spin-off of last season's "Surreal Life," VH1 decided to
take up where that show left off, focusing on the love and
drama of rapper Flavor Flav and actress Brigitte Nielsen. Just
looking at the two of them is enough to qualify as strange, but
it's their quirky personalities that make this show a winner.
But there's a twist: Brigitte is engaged to be married to a
man who couldn't be a more opposite to Flavor, so he's on a
mission to win her back.
Brigitte walks around in her black netted lingerie bodysuit
half the time, and Flavor (or "Fluffy-Fluffy" as Brigitte calls
him) looks like a little kid with a Viking helmet on his head.
Am I embarrassed to say I watch this show? Hell no! It's got
all the right elements; love, scandal, beautiful scenery (Italy),
and characters with great personalities. Watching an Amazon
woman and a little man from completely different cultures
taking the romance back to high school level is beyond entertaining. In fact, it's the best escape I've found from my real
world. Reality TV just doesn't get any better than this!

atheletics fee
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
In March, Cal State San Marcos students will be asked to vote on a new mandatory $40 fee to fund intercollegiate athletics.
According to Steven Nichols, director
of athletics, the fee would enable intercollegiate athletics to expand our current
sports programs and add new programs in
the near future. Right now intercollegiate
athletics offers men's and women's golf,
cross-country and track and field. The
new fee will allow the program to include
men's and women's baseball, softball,
soccer and women's volleyball.
Currently, the athletics department is
funded through the Instructionally Related
Activities fee (IRA) and the CSU General
Fund. Athletics receives approximately
$200,000 from the CSU General Fund and
Photo courtesy of CSUSM Athletics Department
anywhere from $12,000 - $32,000 from
the IRA fee.
The amount received by the IRA fee
is determined by the number of students
enrolled each semester and the number of
campus organizations applying for funds.
If the referendum passes, the athletics
department will be looking at an increase
of $296,000 per semester.
"If the fee does not pass, we can't sus-
Surveys: $6,000. DUI Checkpoints:
$8,000. Alcohol EDU: $20,000. A goal
of reducing the number of alcoholrelated incidents among college students: Not quite priceless, but $48,000.
Starting the first of February,
CSUSM was on of the ten state campuses sharing a $750,000 CSU Alcohol
and Safety (CSU ATS) grant, which
was administered by the Office of
Traffic and Safety (OTS), part of the
Business, Transportation and Housing Agency. The program was funded
by $74.2 million in traffic safety funds
that were awarded to 277 California
state departments last year. CSUSM
received $48,000 of this money.
In order to receive a portion of this
grant, each campus had to apply and
come up with a proposal unique to their
campus. Out of the 23 CSU campuses
(the nation's largest university system),
18 applied for the mini-grants.
The other nine participating CSU
campuses are Bakersfield, Chico,
Dominguez Hills, Fullerton, Pomona,
San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Sonoma
and Stanislaus. The CSU ATS program
is being directed by Perry Angle, who
is working with Dave Doucette, the
OTS regional coordinator.
"We screened the applications in
November and we were looking for
tain the sports that we have. I'm not even
thinking that way. But yes, something will
have to give. We would've had to cut a
sport if President Haynes had not stepped
in and allotted more money to supplement
the only $12,000 we received from the
IRA," said Nichols.
Nichols believes expanding the athletic

a specific program that would
affect the community and meet
a specific student need," Angle
said. "Each proposal needed to
be innovative and student-oriented and could make an impact
in the short time it has."
He is referring to how the program ends in December of 2006.
The program officially stared in
January when there was a training session at CSU Fresno, where
headquarters is located for the
program.
"The actual grant has already
started," Angle said. "But paperwork still needs to be filled out.
Hopefully, you'll see some action
in spring, which is really a target
time. The activities we'll be doing
will relate to many of the activities students do in the springtime
when the weather gets better, like
spring break and parties."
According to Angle, this all
started in 2001 when the chancellor of the CSU schools, Charles
Reed, was affected by an alcohol-related death of a Chico State
student.
"He felt he needed to do more
for the safety of his students,"
said Angle.
This led to a grant called the
Sober Drive Initiative that lasted
two years and ended just this
January. CSUSM applied for this
grant and did not get it.
Fast-forward to today and
CSUSM will begin administering the first phase of its program
shortly. This will be a series of
three short surveys over a period
of two years. Motivation for students to take these surveys will
be a random drawing of 20 $100
gift certificates to the book store
on campus. This survey will ask
Photo i llustration by P hoenix Lindgren / The Pride
such questions as "Where do you
most often consume alcohol offcampus?" and "Have you ever
driven after drinking alcohol?"
This grant has led to several
students wondering why CSUSM
needed to apply for the grant.
"I don't think we have (and
alcohol problem) compared to
what other schools have," a freshman who lives on campus said.
"People shouldn't be driving
drunk," Nate Falzon, a commuter
said. "It doesn't matter where
they go. What's the point of them
targeting a school?"
According to Jonathan Poullard, dean of students, associate
vice president of student affairs
and chairman of the Substance
Abuse Advisory Committee here,
part of the reason that CSUSM
applied for the grant was because
roughly only seven percent of
students live on campus and the
majority of students commute.
The canfipus just does not know
the habits of its students.

felt that we could be more proac-

ness building would be opening
in January 2006, the College
of Health and Human Services
would begin in July of 2006,
and a new Sociology building
would open in 2010.
"I am glad to hear that the
nursing program is finally
coming," said Matthew Garvin,
a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon who also hopes to get into
the nursing program. "I volunteer at a hospital and I know
how much the county needs
nursing services."
Karen Haynes, University
President, remarked that it was
almost the one year anniversary of her first day on the job.
Haynes emphasized the three
important building blocks for
the university. The first and
most important one is "academic excellence," so that the
school will send out well-prepared graduates. The second
building block is "intellectual
and cultural activities," not only
for the campus, but also for the
people in the community. The
third block is "civic leadership,"
which is important because it
makes the school more visible
and helps it to grow. Haynes
commended the students for
the 73,000 hours of community
service that have been recorded
and performed by 15,000 students.
As the raindrops started to
fall and umbrellas began popping open, Haynes said, "The
motto, 'We're building a place
for you' is dated. I think Cal
State San Marcos is the place."
Jackie Trischman, Chair of
the Academic Senate, was the
next to speak. Her fact-filled
report related that this semester CSUSM faculty taught over
600 courses and there were over
1150 class sections offered.
She also announced that two
new minors, Global Studies
and German were going to be
offered, and 151 new course
proposals were being reviewed.
Trischman said that the goal
for the school is to, "Help you
decide not only what you want
to be, but who you want to be
when you graduate."
"It is good news about the
new classes they will be offering" said Biochemistry major
Euphemia Uhegbu. "It was also
good that they talked about
solving the problems with the
increased traffic because of the
student growth."
As the final speaker, ASI
President
Manal
Yamout
thanked the audience for staying even though it was starting
to rain. Yamout emphasized
how she has seen the level of
student involvement increase
over the last few years as the
campus has grown and encouraged students to run for office in
the upcoming ASI election. ASI
has had a very busy year registering over 800 students to vote,
lobbying at the state capitol for
student rights and arranging
many campus events such as
the upcoming Academic Freedom Forum which will be held
March 22.
"After the formal speeches, the
panel accepted questions from
the audience regarding how the
university is going to handle the
traffic issues, improve the academic advising department and
deal with budget constraints.
President Haynes was asked
about the controversial bill SB5,
which she denounced as an illthought out bill that clearly
does not understand what universities are about and misrepresents what faculties are hired
to do. As the rain began to fall
in earnest, it was announced
that all of the questions would
be posted and answered on the
ASI website which can be found
at: www.csusm.edu/asi.

programs to include spectator
sports will help instill a sense
of campus unity. "I love the
sports we have now, but they are
not spectator sports. It's really
hard to watch a cross-country
meet, so we want to bring sports
* that have spectator appeal," said
Nichols.
CSUSM has approximately 80
students participating in intercollegiate sports. "By the time
all the new sports have kicked
in, it would double or triple our
current size," said Nichols.
Nichols added, "If wq have
more recognizable sports teams,
it will make the degree more
valuable because people have
heard where you've graduated
from."
"Personally, I'll gain nothing
as a student," said Linda Deblens, literature and writing grad
student.
"Since I did my undergrad
at a school that had a rich athletic tradition, I support the referendum as I know the positive
aspects it can bring to student
life," said Ian Gould, ASI post
baccalaureate representative.
"Our office only offers neutral information so students can
make an informed decision,"
said Francine Martinez, vice
president of student affairs. "I
think students need to get this
information so they can make
their voices heard on whether or
not this is an important initiative
for them," said Martinez.
Information about the athletics fee referendum is available
through student affairs. The
athletics department plans to
campaign for the new fee in the
next coming weeks with classroom presentations and student
forums. Students will vote on the
fee March 21-24. The complete
athletics fee referendum can be
found at www.csusm.edu/student affairs/athleticvote.
The Pride denied ballot access
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
Next month, Cal State San
Marcos students will be asked
to vote on a new mandatory $40
fee to fund campus Athletics;
they will not be asked to vote on
a new mandatory $2.50 fee to
fund the student newspaper.
The Pride submitted a fee proposal last fall that would have
generated approximately $ 18,000
per semester to cover production costs of the weekly studentrun, student-written newspaper,
eliminating budget gaps caused
by inlying on the Instructionally
Related Activities (IRA) fee,
which nearly ended production
of The Pride in 2003.
"As it stands right now, The
Pride is not going to shut down;
we can survive on what we get
from IRA," said Elizabeth Baldwin, Pride Co-Editor-in-Chief.
"What I mean by survive is
black and white, eight pages, all
semester."
When asked what the fee
would have meant to The Pride,
Baldwin was matter-of-fact.
"The immediate impact that
the fund would have made on the
newspaper would have been an
immediate jump to a consistent
twelve pages a week with color-every single week—minimum,"
said Baldwin.
Mike Dolan, Pride Co-Editorin-Chief, also saw the Pride proposal in terms of other groups on
campus vying for IRA funds.
"To get The Pride away from
the IRA funding would have
opened up funding for more
activities on campus, and provided more autonomy for The
Pride," said Dolan.
Both Dolan and Baldwin
believe the switch to color would

have had an increasingly positive effect.
"Having color in a newspaper
always increases readership. We
had projected doubling our circulation immediately to 5,000
copies—eventually distributing
off-campus; right now we don't
even have a stand at the Field
House," said Baldwin.
The addition of color and
increased circulation would have
meant an increase in advertising
rates, which would have allowed
The Pride to buy things like
office furniture and computers,
and send more students to journalism conferences. Baldwin
was emphatic that the fee was
strictly limited to covering production costs.
"We were asking students to
pay for the cost of the printed
paper they pick up," said Baldwin.
In a memorandum dated January 14, 2005, Pride editors were
informed of President Haynes
decision not to solicit input from
students on The Pride fee p ro-.
posal.
"I was very shocked," said
Baldwin.
"I was shocked
because I felt like we put
together a very thorough proposal. I was shocked because we
were only asking for $2.50, and
the fact that we were modeling
v a program that's already been
in place at Sac(ramento) State,
where they've (their newspaper
program has)flourished."
"That's the system," added
Dolan. "We did our best—
we went through the system.
The President thinks Athletics
has more of an impact on the
campus."
When asked how she felt about
the Athletics proposal going forward, Baldwin was stoic.
"I personally feel athletics is a
good thing for a campus, but I'm
just so shocked. I really don't
think this is like the newspaper versus the athletics department. What we were asking for
is so much less—why couldn't we
be on the ballot together?" said
Baldwin.
It has since been confirmed
that Haynes' decision not to

went against the recommendation of the Student Fee Advisory
Council (SFAC), which has a student majority membership and is
chaired by Francine Martinez.
"The counsel did recommend (to President Haynes)
that the student newspaper fee
be included on the ballot; we
think it's important that students
weigh in (on the issues)," said
Martinez.
When asked how frequently
the University President has
exercised his or her power not
to accept the SFAC's recommendation, Martinez responded that
former President Gonzalez did
so twice during his six years at
CSUSM, "on two different recommendations—a (mandatory
fee) referenda recommendation
and on a user fee adjustment."
Haynes' decision not to allow
students to vote on the student
newspaper fee would be her first
exercise of that power; Haynes
had been president of CSUSM
for less than one year at the time
of her decision.
Haynes was unavailable for
either an in-person or a telephone
interview, but did answer several
questions via email. When asked
why she didn't include The Pride
proposal on the referendum,
Haynes expressed concern over
the current climate for increasing student fees.
Haynes stated that, "the Chancellor's Office (where the final
decision is made regarding the
establishment of new student
fees) has requested that campus
Presidents exercise close scnitiny
in establishing new mandatory
fees " The Pride has requested
confirmation of this directive
from Chancellor Reed's office,
but it was not received prior to
press time.
Both Haynes and Martinez
believe that passage of the Athletics fee could benefit The Pride
by frèeing up IRA funds from
Athletics. In addition, Haynes
stated that, "The IRA fee will be
assessed this spring to determine
if increasing this fee could support the newspaper at a higher
level."
The IRA fee has not been
increased since its establishment
in 1991.
Haynes denied that The Pride's
coverage of Michael Moore last
semester influenced her decision.
When asked if the fee would
have meant an increase in salaries for editors of The Pride—
which currently range from nothing for Copy Editor to $2,500 for
Co-Editor-in-Chief per semester, Baldwin said, "No-the fee
proposal was only to cover the
actual costs of printing."
The Athletics Department
has other ideas about spending
their potential referendum windfall. According to the Athletics
Fee Referendum Voter Information web page prepared by the
Student Fee Advisory Council (http://www.csusm.edu/student_affairs/athletic_vote.htm),
the proposed mandatory $40
Athletics fee will generate nearly
$300,000 per semester, most of
which will pay the salaries of
additional coaching staff. Athletics hopes to increase staff salaries from $40,000 per semester
to nearly $200,000 per semester
as it adds five new sports to the
four it currently offers.

�GEL course
requirement
Teaching freshman to be
well-rounded citizens
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
Most students are confused, others are
angry, but despite the feelings involved
with the course, it is the end result that has
an impact on the students of Cal State San
Marcos. The General Education Lifelong
Learning or GEL is a class that is aimed
at making freshman learn studying tools,
and also become well-rounded responsible
citizens.
First off, GEL was first introduced into
the campus curriculum in 1995, when
the first freshmen were enrolled at the
campus. The course was intended to get
students involved with the campus; and it
was designed to help with academic discipline; help students to choose a major, and
finally to assist students in the retention of
knowledge gained from their courses.
In spite of the objectives of the class,
which seem like a great way to start off
freshman year, the students of CSUSM
aren't too thrilled about GEL. Students
around campus feel that getting into college itself means that we can successfully
manage time and study, some of the basic
teachings of the class. But is there more
to this class than meets the eye? After an
interview with Joanne Pedersen, Ph.D.
the Associate Director for First-Year Programs, she said, "The purpose of GEL is
to enhance student success." This seems
like a pretty large goal at hand and one that
is quite intangible at the freshman level.

G E L s tudents s it attentively d uring lecture.
Mark Thomas, a student at CSUSM
said, "I just don't understand why we
have to pay for a class
that the majority of
students don't need to
take." Despite having to
take a class such as GEL
to complete a government required course, it
should be a class that is
worth taking, but most
students do not feel that
way while taking the
class.
"Studies done by multiple universities," Pedersen said, "show
that 30-40% of students drop out between
their freshman and sophomore year." Pedersen later went on to say that with proH^HM
grams like GEL, studies show that students
are less likely to drop
out and receive a better
GPA throughout their
college life. With this
knowledge in hand it
seems that GEL is a spot
on perfect example of a
freshman general education course. But students still aren't happy
with the initial impact of
the course. Before dreading going to class,
think of how this class will benefit your

the campus
future. Due to the simple topics at hand,
or the things that all freshman "think they
automatically know" coming into this new
school, it seems that students aren't taking
this course seriously. Yet in the long run
this course will help students no matter
how they feel in the present time. Down
the road it could help students like Mark
to acquire a job with skills he learned in
the class.
So before the class is judged by its surface, kind of like a book is judged by its
cover, sit down and listen to the professors
and hear what they have to say. Maybe
new students will retain some of that
knowledge. After all that was the goal of
the course in the first place.

Ishmael Reed to CSUSM as part of the Arts
& Lectures series. Dr. Sam Hamod, a creative writing professor and a good friend
of Reed's, unabashedly introduced him as,
"one of the world's greatest writers."
Poetry is at its best when it is read aloud,
and Reed captivated the audience with his
rich, booming voice. He shared poems
from a new album that he is producing
called, "Bad Mouth," which is being distributed by Blue Note Records. The appreciative crowd burst into laughter at many
of his one-line poems such as; "Van Gogh
killed himself because he felt that sooner
or later his paintings would be displayed
in Las Vegas," or "I'd rather have my short
term memory back than an El Dorado
Cadillac." His longer pieces titled; "In a
War Such Things Happen," and "Wanting
to be a Right Wing Family Values Type of
Man," were heartily applauded as the audience absorbed the underlying meanings of
his satirical messages. Student Bellamy
Walker said that, "It was really amazing
to hear such an intellectual speak on our
level and about our issues for black Americans."
After reading his poetry, Reed held a
question and answer session. When asked
how he finds his ideas, Reed stated that
he gets them from many different places
because he gets asked to do so many dif-

ferent things. This variety is good because
writing in different forms helps to unblock
your mind. In addition to his books he has
written numerous essays, opinion pieces,
and five plays. His next project will be to
write a book about Muhammad Ali and
his spiritual beliefs.
Sonia Gutierrez, a former CSUSM grad
student said, "I am a great admirer of African American literature and that is where
I find my own voice " Gutierrez, who now
teaches at Palomar College, had cancelled
her evening class to come and hear Reed
speak.
After the lecture Reed stayed and graciously signed autographs for the many
admirers of his craft. His visit was definitely one of the highlights of the activities celebrating Black History Month at
CSUSM.
�Transition team at CSUSM Rodolfo Acuña to
VUSD students interact with campus life
BY THOMAS F. GORMAN III
Pride Staff Writer
Areli, J.R., Justin, Bruce,
Vianey, Rusby, Armando, Marcella, and William are the students who help keep our campus
clean. These students are part of
a transition program run through
Vista Unified School District in
conjunction with the Facility Services Department of CSUSM.
The transitional program itself
has been in operation on campus
for ten years with the main
focus being a way for the students involved to gain life skills,
practice personal autonomy, and
learn work habits such as following directions and seeing a task
through to the end.
Students involved in the transition program work Monday
through Thursday from 7:15 a.m.
until 1:15 p.m. Depending upon
where the students live, their day
begins anywhere from 5:30 a.m.
and 6:00 a.m.
Once on campus, the students,
accompanied by their teachers
Steve Molina and Dora Stabinski,
meet in the dome and receive their
duties for the day. The student's
main duty is to clean campus but
Photo by Loriann Samano / The Pride
Molina said "the students do
what ever is asked of them and
there is always variation."
Like most eighteen to
twenty-two year olds, the student's favorite part of the day
is break time. This gives the
students a chance to eat lunch
in the Dome and gain additional social skills through
interaction with the student
population here on campus.
The students involved with
the transitional program are
excited with the opportunity
of being able to interact with
other students and observe
day to day campus life.
All students involved in
the transitional program were
enthusiastic with the only
complaint being witnessing
other students litter and disrespecting our beautiful second
home.
"This is an excellent opportunity for them to develop life
skills and we also get to benefit from them," said Chuck
Walden, director of facility
services. "I think they are a
great group of young people."
The transitional program is
both innovative and outstanding for all parties involved.
So next time you see these
students keeping our campus
clean give them a smile, hug,
or a high-five and express to
them our gratitude f or a job
well done.

Priority President Evan Trown meets with The Pride
BY ZACHERY SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
The fickle Gods of Time and Information always seem to make themselves
scarce when students consider joining a
campus club. Still, those searching defiantly for a group to exercise their beliefs,
rather than merely their tastes, might take
a moment for any of the three Christian
organizations here at CSUSM.
To help provide some guidance, The
Pride has conducted interviews with two
club leaders and hopes to include the
third as well. This week we'll be sharing our conversation with Evan, president
of 'Priority Christian Challenge', following up next week with Paul from 'Christ
on Campus'. The questions were intended
to give students, and perhaps the leaders
themselves, a better idea of the beliefs that
govern these clubs.
Evan Trown's first hello into the tape
recorder is nervous, new to the format, but
a pleasant humor suppresses any shyness.
Let's get some background on the
club, how long has it been active here at
CSUSM?
Priority started about 5 years ago, and
I've been here for two.
How long have you been the president?
Actually I just started in December. So
I was the vice president last semester, and
then got promoted.
Was this a democratic process? How
did that go in terms of the ranking?
Pretty much is...if you feel like you're
called upon to be i n a position of leadership then you, like, apply for it and then
pretty much if you want to be it...theeen
you are. (laughs) Our president graduated
in December, and I decided that I would
like to be president, and that I felt like God on campus and we actually go to one of the

Well At least for us here on this campus
Now, what would you say are some of

I know there's two other Christian clubs uh (chuckles a breath) the unsaved people
that um oppose the things that our clubs
does and just the difficulties and the whole
process of having to go through the secular
campus, uh, rules and regulations before
we can have any sort of events.
Thank you...Um, Gettin down to the
final questions here. Does your club
have a unified concept of heaven?
I think so, most of us, uh, were, well a
lot of us were raised in church settings,
so most of us have some preconceived
notions of everything, that basically what
we learn in our club, from past church
experiences and what not, so really think
do have kinda...a common belief in what
heaven is, and that kind of a thing.
Do people who die having rejected
Christ go to Hell?
I believe so, yes. We um as a club and as
an individual believe that um people who
have not asked Christ to.. .have a personal
relationship with them are going to Hell.
And that.. .1 mean that says so right in the
bible, so.
Okay um, the final question, I know
you mentioned earlier there were two
other Christian...oriented clubs on
campus. Why do you think there are
three separate organizations?
You know a lot of people ask us that
question and we even ask ourselves that
question sometimes. Mostly, it's because
we're each funded by a dif church. So,
our club is funded by a Baptist organization, and Christ on campus, the other club
is sponsored by the Episcopalian church,
and Intervarsity has its own backing from,
I don't know, they're like a huge organization, So, pretty much because we all have
these different funds it actually allows us
to have um various times that we can meet
that can meet the needs of all the students
on campus,

For now, my Chuck D eyes are
on last week's Opinion page.
What the hell was that?!
The Social Insecurity "debate'

after readin' what fell under the

to rob my eyes and triple check

I was shocked to discover it

And Amira's column last

that our Editors-in-chief who've

Everyone else: "Dude, it's a

Here endeth the lesson.
Now, onto praises.

fine job of getting it straight
from the source. And let me
just say* whether you take WilHams' side or not, you have to
give the dude credit for having
the mahooshkas to put himself
on the public opinion slab.
There's a lot of talking heads
on this campus that abuse this
paper to give their nickel opinions five-dollar words. (Count
me amongst 'em.) But Williams
ain't one of us. Until Chez's
article last week, Williams had
avoided attempts for an interview. To grant one in the face
of an investigation that found

down all theories that suspected
Williams was doing this just to

My ethereal hat goes off to Chez
and most of all to Mr. Williams.

'History is narrative,' I've been
pursuing a major in that 'narratiye.' (I'm a History/Lit major if
you're missing the point)
An experience akin to custody

Either way, I've been just as
much a victim of the advising
woes of History freaks as the
rest of me classmates. Matt balanced those woes with the reasons for them. Something that
tends to be lacking in our news
stories. I felt no manipulations
or bias, though I know Schramm
is a classmate and so faces the

to get a balanced perspective on

I have to wonder why implement NCLB into high schools?
Isn't there already enough pressure to get into college without
the undue stress of annual standardized tests? Bush's purpose
is to narrow the achievement
gap between richer districts and
poorer districts. I agree with
what Bushy has to say about
quality education, narrowing the
achievement gap and providing
equal education to children of
all backgrounds...I just disagree
with the way he goes about doing
it. There is no incentive for high
school students to do well on
yearly standardized testing, in
fact the worse they do, the more
money their school will get with
Titfe I funding. It is still their
SAT scores that are going to get
them into college.
Well, I will benefit from Bush's
Pell Grant increase (it pays to
not be employed and to be a full
time student), but I just don't see
how elementary and secondary
schools are going to benefit.

Pride Staff Writer
If you have been at Cal State San
Marcos for a few years, you will undoubtedly remember the CORE survey o f2002.
The CORE survey examined the drinking
habits of CSUSM students. Not surprising,
we learned that there was not a significant
problem with excessive alcohol consumption at our school. (Who could forget the
mouse pads and posters blasting us with
statistics designed to make us think otherwise before having that third or fourth
drink when out on the town?)
Why is it that CSUSM has now received
a $48,000 portion of a state grant designed
for alcohol and traffic safety? It seems to
me that if there is not a significant problem with drinking on campus, and the student population in general cannot be categorized as "problem drinkers," then what
exactly will the University implement with
this money?
According to the January 31 press release
announcing this award, the money will go
to further surveys and research aimed "to
identify the highest risk alcohol-licensed
establishments patronized by San Marcos
students." These 'problem' bars in the.
community will then be subject to "comprehensive risk assessment inventories"
Photos by Michael Dolan / The Pride
that will give the University information
to dissuade students from going to those
places. In addition, the bars that are identified as problematic will find themselves
in a Big Brother dragnet as the University teams with local law enforcement "to
increase visibility of DUI checkpoints in
and around areas frequented by students."
Am I the only one who is creeped out with
a chill of fascism?
First off, the University must back off.
If students are of legal drinking age and
are respected as individuals, then the
choices they make are their own. If they
want to go to a bar and drink, the University should not interfere. If they want to
test the waters and run the DUI gauntlet,
then let law enforcement do their job without the information of where and when
students will be drinking being hande4 to
tirads-' I t '
them by the University. This is the worst
kind of liberal left 'we know what is best
for you' combined with fastidious right
'you will fall in line and do what we say is
right' I have seen proposed on our campus.
I drink in San Marcos often at places I
can safely assume will soon be 'problem'
bars. I drive home from these bars. I am
a responsible adult of 28 years and know
when not to drive home after drinking. I
do not, however, look forward to ditching
checkpoints on my way home so that I can
avoid an arbitrary and static BAC standard
which if I exceed will land me in jail. This
is soon the reality, though. I hope the University reconsiders its priorities. Failing
that, I hope the people stand up and call
for responsible accountability of their tax
dollars from where this grant money originates.

ASI hosts Casino Night
in the Field House
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
What happens in the Field House, stays in the
Field House.
All that was missing was the noisy clamor of
the slot machines when the ASI sponsored Casino
Night last Thursday. Participants were handed
$500 in play money as they came in the door,
which they traded in for chips to play poker, roulette or blackjack. Dealers in white shirts and bow
ties from Casino Magic ran the tables.
Erik Groset, the Director of Social Programming for ASI was in charge of the event, attended
by around 200 people.
"I couldn't have done it without the help of the
ASI Program Board," said Groset. The group is
planning another evening within the next few
months that would feature poker games.
Mike Louzek, waiting for a spot to open up on

one of the popular poker tables, said he was, "winning massive amounts of money and having lots
of fun."
As they finished playing, players traded their
chips for raffle tickets that they could put in boxes
to win prizes. Drawings were held at the end of
the evening and lucky winners went home with
prizes like: a trip for two to Laughlin, the Halo 2
game for X-Box, a George Foreman grill, a cordless mouse, an I-Pod Shuffle, and many more.
Travis Roger, who attends Palomar, but lives in
the UVA was checking out the prize table with
his roommate Jorgen Havre who is from Bergen,
Norway.
"I am having f un enjoying the American lifestyle," said Havre. He laughingly added that he
is, "looking for an American sweetheart to bring
back to Europe."
Casino Night was a lot of f un because you didn't
have to drive to Vegas forfive1hours, if you lost
your shirt they gave you a free one, and heck, you
weren't losing real money anyway.
Keanu is wooden as "Constantine"
N either M ilton, n or H eaven, n or H ell c an
save D C C omics a daptation
BY PATRICK B. LONG
Pride Staff Writer
Demons. Brimstone. CGI. John
Constantine (Keanu Reeves) is a
self-appointed agent of demon
exorcism in this DC comic book
adaptation of "Hellblazer."
"Constantine" is a carry-over
of John Milton's epic, "Paradise Lost," about a war between
Heaven and Hell. In the story,
humans are supposed to be left
alone to their own devices and
without direct intrusion from
either Heaven or Hell. Each side
tries to collect as many souls as
it can, and the one with the most
souls wins. Milton, a pro-Protestant, would not be too keen on the
idea that the Catholics of Constantine are the heroes.
Constantine was born with a
gift that he doesn't understand.
He eventually attempts suicide
but doesn't succeed and returns
to Earth after a spell in Hell.
Catholic doctrine states that suicide is a one-way ticket to Hell,
so Constantine develops his skill
of sending demons home in order
to secure a ticket into Heaven. He
is recruited by Angela (Rachel
Weisz), to solve the unanswered
question of why her sister committed suicide. Along the way,
they battle demons with weapons

of angelic origin.
The highlights of the movie are
the special effects and action. If
the plot is overdone, or even confusing, the action should keep
you entertained. It received an
"R" rating and maybe saved the
movie for me. A "PG-13" would
have been too boring with the
bad acting and old plot. It has
some gory scenes that may even
rival that of "The Exorcist," but is
counteracted but a lot of dry, dark
humor by the character Constantine. The story is far from original, and has been better explained.
In fact I could count the number
of movies it borrowed from, like
"The Prophecy", "Blade" and
even "Dogma."
As usual, Reeves pulls a subpar performance, I still don't
understand why someone with
the personality of a wooden doll
seems to keep getting work. I
do give him credit for trying a
character with a morose sense
of humor, but he delivers it with
force. Even Weisz seems to be
brought down by Reeves and
acts below her norm. There was
a surprising performance by rock
star Gavin Rossdale of Bush. He
brings an eerie performance to
the demon Balthazar.
If the movie's purpose was to
produce an original story with a
great plot or even good acting, it
failed. If its purpose was to make
an action film based on a comic
book, with decent special effects,
then it did a good job.

BYADIA BESS
Pride Staff Writer
Several health-related
events scheduled in the
following weeks
The Dome is not a name on
campus that most people become
excited about. We've all heard the
conversations bashing the food
quality, the prices and the look, but
the conversations might just come
to an end.
The Dome is getting ready for an
extreme makeover, Cal State San
Marcos style.
. Christopher Wood, head chef for
the Dome, is expecting some money
(the amount is not yet known) from
the Cal State San Marcos Foundation to begin what many students
say are much needed renovations.
"I have a very positive outlook
for food service in the Dome in the
near future," said Wood. "It will
certainly be something to look forward to."
Ginny Robertson, a senior at Cal
State San Marcos, said, "I think the
Dome is ugly. It's been the same
color for the past ten years, so they
should change it."
Another student, junior Nelenie
Aronce had some unenthusiastic
thoughts as well.
"The food is expensive, and it's a
last resort when you're really, really
hungry," said Aronce.
When talking to Woods, he stated

Physical Education for
elementary school teachers
On Thursday March, 3 from 10-11 am in Founders Plaza Dr. Laura
deGhetaldi's PE 203 class was learning an activity called "Panel chutes
and parachutes." The multi-colored banners and chutes attracted the
attention of many passers-by.
According to deGhetaldi, budget cuts in public education have
caused a lack of formal physical education in elementary schools.
As part of her class, Dr. deGhetaldi is instructing student teachers
fun and innovative ways to incorporate physical education back into
the elementary school system.
"It's critical for us to continue teaching physical education at the
elementary school level," said deGhetaldi.
Students in the class seemed to enjoy learning the activities.
"It's a f un class, a lot better than normal PE," said Carrie Wade, a
student in the class.
Students will vote for their
new ASI representatives
March 21-24.
Candidates
have now started their campaigning process to vie for
your vote. To be an informed
voter, students can read statements from the candidates in
this issue of The Pride. On
pages 2-3, candidates have
submitted statements to students along with the position
they are running for.

Hello everyone, I am running for ASI College of
Business Rep. I would appreciate your vote for the
following reasons. The Annual 04-05 ASI Projected
budget was nearly 1.1 million dollars. Many students
don't know what ASI stands for. If a student can identify ASI he/she is unlikely able to explain the organizations purpose. Most of the budget is spent on
150-200 students. 40.6% of the U million is spent on
Administration, 17.7% is spent on the board of directors, and 15.3% goes to the ELC (Early Learning

I believe our purpose as executive members of ASI is to serve
the students. One of the main things that I would
do as V.R of Finance, is listen to the things that
you as students would like to see at CSUSM. A
few things that are important to me is keeping the
cost of tuition and parking down, increasing class
availability, and increasing advising availability.
So vote for me, Ashley Dunn as V.R of Finance.

a coordinator of this month's
events.
According to Romero, getting students and faculty to
work together and promote a
better campus environment for
learning and relaxing is a big
part of Wellness Month.
During Wellness Month,
coordinators like Devon will be
promoting the six dimensions
of wellness.
The six dimensions of wellness are physical wellness,
intellectual wellness, emotional wellness, spiritual wellness, social wellness and occupational wellness. Each of the
six dimensions of wellness will
be represented through different events pertaining to a particular dimension.
Organizers are planning
many different events that students can come and take place
in, such as yoga, self-defense
classes, and a seminar entitled
Chicken Soup for the Cougar
Soul.
Each Monday during Wellness Month will be known as
Blue Monday, and different
events such as yoga, progressive
relaxation, and guided imagery
will accompany the morning's
events. Each blue Monday will
try and undertake one of the six
dimensions of personal wellbeing.

the short term goals during the
summer of 2005.
P hoto by A dia B ess / The Pride
Wood has lots of ideas that he
is ready to begin working on.
"I love working in a University
environment, but I wish I could
just go, go, go! There is a radical
sense of urgency," said Wood.
Short term plans include mirrors to make the Dome look
bigger, painting with neon or
bright colors, and an upgrade to
the look and names of the five
eateries currently in the Dome.
In addition the food will also
have a new taste. The salad bar
will offer more choices, we will
be introduced to new pizza flavors such as b-b-q chicken and
four cheese, the sub station will
adopt a new superhero theme, the
quick serve grill will incorporate a blue plate special and the
House of Tsang (half Asian and
half Italian) will transform into a
bigger Mexican food concept.
Long term goals include picking up square footage to make the
Dome bigger, and possibly bringing branded units into the new
area.
This wouldn't be the first extensive renovation in the Dome's
history.
In September of 2002, the
Cal State San Marcos Foundation spent more than $575,000 to
design and outfit a new kitchen
which included professional
ovens, stoves, steamers, fryers,
a stainless steel food prep area,
pass-through refrigerators, and
separate areas for dishwashing,
food storage, and offices.
Wood said he is very excited
about implementing new menus
that keep pace with the changing
tastes of students.
"Years ago it was ok to serve
grilled cheese and tomato soup;
now campuses have to offer as
many choices as possible," he
said.
Wood said that even with
changes in the menu he wants
to, "maintain foods that will be
affordable to the masses."

Tips and suggestions for a f un and care-free vacation
Poet Bridget Gray coming
to campus for Women's
History Month
BY PATRICK B.LONG
Pride Staff Writer
Between parties and sun-bathing, students do not want to spend their Spring
Break vacation worrying about minor
details. So, the smart student will plan
ahead. Spring Break vacation can be
enhanced with the right tools of knowledge.
Before planning a getaway, knowing
where to go is a key point and several web
sites list the most popular destinations for
f un in the sun. The Travel Channel web site
has its own list, including Cancun, Mexico
as the second most popular destination.
Since international destinations come with
some much needed precautions, students
should arm themselves with knowledge of
health concerns within a certain region.
Fear not, help is as easy as the Center
for Disease Control (CDC). The CDC's
traveler's health site contains information
regarding health risks in regions throughout the world. Our own CSUSM web site
has travel tips located on the University
Global Affairs site at http://www.csusm.
edu/UGA/Travelresources.htm. This site
has links for traveler's health, currency
converters and airport guides. There is
also great information on problem areas
that students should avoid traveling to.
For international travel, students have
many concerns to consider and should be
aware of organizations like International
Students Travel Confederation (ISTC).
ISTC will help students to get organized
for travel and offers student discounts
around the world with the aide of an international student I.D. card. The group also
provides company information for travel
agents that deal discount fares for full time
students. They can keep students informed
and safe while traveling and list approved
travel agencies that students can use in
conjunction with ISTC.
STA Travel is one of Itch's approved
travel agencies and they have offices on
the SDSU campus and one in the Pacific
Beach area. Mike Medina of the SDSU
office explained that students should be
prepared when traveling, especially to a

issues, but someone needs to talk about
them.
Poet and performance artist Bridget
Gray will be making her third appearance at CSUSM in honor of Women's
History Month. Sponsored by Student
Residential Life, Gray will perform in
Arts 240 at 7 p.m. on Monday, March
14.
Regarded as one of the most refreshing spoken word artists, Gray is not
afraid to tackle the issues in life that
others tend to avoid. Her signature
piece, "Shades of Gray," was released
in 2001, and her second CD, "Self
Love," will be issued this year.
Gray has won many poetry slam
competitions and has recently been the
host of a nationally syndicated radio
show called "Electric Moyo."
Her dynamic stage presence and
the relevance of her words will ~
surely make an entertaining evening for those who
attend the performance.

"Do a little research," said Medina,
because students must know the laws of
the country they plan to visit. STA Travel
offers package deals to students traveling
and is already booking for summer vacation.
Local all inclusive travel companies,
such as Summer Winter Action Tours
(S.W.A.T.), offer full packages and group
tours. For one price, they include transportation, accommodations and free S.W.A.T
events. They have trips to Mexico that
include Rosarito and San Felipe. The tour
is for members only and gives a safe way
to travel in a large group. The company
has EMT's on site and corresponds with
the local law enforcement to ensure cooperation.

�Athletics director responds to Pride staff writer
Stephen Nichols offers a r ebuttal to Phoenix Lindgren s article
To the Editors of The Pride:
An article by Staff Writer
Phoenix Lindgren in last week's
issue of The Pride noted that
while students will be voting this
March on a proposed student fee
to expand our intercollegiate athletics program, they will not be
voting on a fee to support The
Pride.
A central focus of the article
is a search for some rationale for
this decision. Several are considered - perhaps President Haynes
values athletics more than the
newspaper? Or is it a bit of
revenge for The Pride's coverage
of the Michael Moore situation?
Was the fee proposal not good
enough? Don't people see how
much improved the paper would
be with twelve pages and color?
Who could object to only $2.50,
none of it going to salaries?
As the author of the athletics fee proposal, I would like to
share my experienced in the long
process of developing the proposal - because what I learned as
I went through the process sheds
a lot of light on why my fee is on
the ballot, while the newspaper
fee is not. And not to give away
the punch line, but...it has nothing to do with any of the above.
When I took the position as
Athletics Director, my first task
was (is!) to address the funding problems we face. Despite
a record of excellence that might
surprise you if you haven't been
following our golf, cross-country
and track teams ~ eight Far West
Regional Championships, 15 finishes the Top Twenty in year-end
national rankings, 44 NAIA AllAmericans, a national champion
in the women's marathon - our
department was on the verge of
being shut down due to lack of
funding.
I quickly learned why. I contacted every other AD in the CSU
system and discovered that we
are the only campus in the entire
CSU that has no student fee funding for intercollegiate athletics!
At every other CSU campus - in
fact, as one AD told me, at virtually every other public university
in the country - students pay a
set fee to f und the athletics program. State money supplements
that fee revenue, but no athletics
program exists on general fund
money alone, as we had been
trying to do.
So the problem was clear;
the solution, though, was not so
simple. Several of the Athletics Directors I spoke with over
the summer shared something
else with me: the CSU Chancellor's Office had imposed a "soft
moratorium" on campus-based
fees. What's a soft moratorium,
you ask? I had to ask, too - and
so began a series of conversations with some pretty important
people in the CSU hierarchy: Patrick Lenz, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Budget Development,
and Chris Canfield, the CSU's
Lead Budget Analyst.
QTT ONZOMV
Here's what I learned from
them: the Chancellor is concerned that, in this era of budget
cuts to the campuses, individual
CSU schools might be too quick
to turn to campus-based student
fees to make up the difference.
Hence the moratorium: no offsetting the declines in funding by
imposing new campus fees; no
asking students to foot the bill for
things that were once funded by
other sources, because you worry
that those other funding sources
might be dry up.
This is where the " soft" part of
the fee moratorium comes into
play. The CSU recognizes that
not all proposals for new fees
will fall into the category just
described, and thus an absolute
ban on any and all fees is too
extreme. So the Chancellor's
Office will consider allowing a
new student fee under certain
circumstances - but the proposer
has to make the case for it.
That is exactly what I did with
the athletics fee proposal. I made
the case that we are the only CSU
in the system that does not have
an athletics fee - that this is a
standard fee, found at all CSUs
(and all public universities); we
just don't have it here because we
are a relatively new campus, and
our athletics program is newer
still. The folks at the Chancellor's Office accepted that reasoning and indicated they would
allow our fee to go forward.
The Pride finds itself in a very
yvirji
different situation. As I understand it, it is very rare in the CSU
for a student paper to be supported by its own student fee. It
may be, in fact, that only Sacramento State has such an arrangement. This puts The Pride at a
real disadvantage: not only is
such a fee not commonly found
throughout the CSU, the fact is
that almost nobody else does it
that way.
That being the case, I can tell
you, based on my own conversations with the people who make
these decision in the Chancellor's office, that there is virtually no way the Chancellor would
have approved The Pride fee. A
novel, new fee that exists at very
few other campuses is simply
not something the CSU administration will support now. President Haynes, well aware of all
this, made the tough decision:
since there is no chance it will
be approved by the CSU, there is
no sense spending campus time,
money and energy campaigning
for it and voting on it.
So the fact that the newspaper
fee is not on the ballot has nothing
to do with anyone placing greater
value on The Pride than on athletics; it's not "athletics versus
The Pride" in any sense. Both
are good for this campus, and
just as campus life will benefit
from more vibrant athletics offerings, especially spectator sports,
so too woujd it have been great
for the newspaper to be longer
talking
and in color. It has nothing to do
with Michael Moore; if you think
President Haynes is so petty and
vindictive as to operate that way,
you don't know her very well. It
has nothing to do with the quality of the proposal (members of
the Student Fee Advisory Committee have told me it was very
good), and no, $2.50 is not too
much to ask. But none of that is
the point; rather, the point is that
the newspaper fee, even had students passed it overwhelmingly,
would have fallen victim to the
Chancellor's soft moratorium.
I'll conclude with a wish and a
hope. I wish someone had alerted
those who worked on The Pride
fee proposal of this reality long
ago, before they spent considerable time and energy on their fee
proposal; it is a long, arduous process, and I'm sorry to see anyone
go through it for naught.
And the hope? The athletics department is not even going
to apply for any funds from the
Instructionally Related Activity
fund this year (if the athletics fee
passes, we won't need it; if it fails,
the IRA funds won't save us). I
sincerely hope The Pride gets a
nice share of what we might have
gotten; twelve color pages would
be nice.
Sincerely,
Steve Nichols

This may seem like an extension
of what is now looking to be a regular feature of The Pride, but "The
Spongebob Squarepants Movie" is
definitely a guilty pleasure.
If you have kids or a younger
sibling, you might be able to get
away with renting or buying this
movie without getting too much
slack from the cashier. The rest
of you may just have to wear dark
sunglasses and a scarf for fear of
recognition.
But the movie is just so funny
you can't help but giggle. Like
when Patrick asks the princess if
she wants to see his underwear. Or
when Spongebob gets killed off.
Wait. Did I just say that? Yes,
Spongebob does get killed off in
the movie. It might make all those
horrible Spongebob haters out
there smile.

cial appearance in the movie and
once again saves the day, but a
little more comically than during
his Baywatch days. And I must say
he has the strongest pecks I have
ever seen.
The premise of the story involves
the Krusty Krab burger competitor, who is jealous of the burger
joint's success. He steals King
Neptune's crown and frames the
restaurant owner. Spongebob tries
to recover the crown so that he can
save his boss and prove that he is a
loyal employee.
The result is a comical adventure
that amuses both young and old.
The DVD is packed with a few
great features too. For animation
buffs, there are two featurettes
exploring the making of the movie,
including one that focuses on the
creator of Spongebob, Stephen
Hillenburg, and the writers of the
movie.
For Spongebob fans, there is an
extra short clip called "Case of the
Spongebob." You won't be seeing
that on the Nickelodeon channel
anytime soon.
Then, for video game buffs,
there a small preview of the video
game that also branched out from
the TV show and movie.
It's just a lot of fun and laughs,
but if you're too embarrassed to
be spending somewhere around
$20 to own this movie, at least go
out and rent it so you too can join
in the fun.

What is a six-foot tall man doing dressed
up like a woman leaping across the stage?
Why pretending to be Martha Graham of
course!
The independent film, "Ghostlight,"
starring Richard Move is the story of legendary dancer and choreographer, Martha
Graham, told through the eyes of a fictitious filmmaker.
Move plays the part of Martha, which in
itself is ironic because he is over six feet
tall and she barely measuredfivefeet. As he
towers over the other dancers, he delivers
his words of advice to them in a controlled,
alto voice, teaching them the moves as well
as infusing Martha's philosophies.
Time in the movie is non-linear; it
bounces backward and forward with fake
historical film clips to help the viewer gain
perspective into her life. Martha's famous
"I thought it was
inspiring,"-student
Katie Summers
friends, like the designer Halston, Liza
Minelli, Helen Keller, and Deborah Harry
(who appears in thefilm)also add an interesting dynamic to the movie.
It is difficult to put a specific label on this
movie. It seems like a biopic, but is delivered in a campy manner that has the audience trying to work out if they should take
it seriously or not. In the end though, it felt
like it was a heartfelt tribute to an icon of
modern dance.
The preview of "Ghostlight" was sponsored by the La Jolla Music Society and
shown last Monday in Arts 240. The star
of the movie, Richard Move, introduced
the film and was available afterwards to
answer questions. He said that thefilmwas
started around 1998 and took four or five
years tofinish.He also stars in a live show
about Graham called, "Martha
that has
played in New York and has toured around
the world. He laughingly said, "Martha is
finally being represented by a body that is
able to live up to her stature."
"I thought it was inspiring," said CSUSM
student Katie Summers. "I was really
amazed."
Another student, Isabel Gonzalez said,
"It teaches you about the arts and how the
creative process comes about."
There is a tradition that dictates that a
stage should never be completely dark after
a show, and that is why a single lightbulb
is left on all night. Richard Move's impersonation of Martha Graham has embraced
the legend and he has become her own personal "ghostlight," keeping her memory
alive in the hearts of her fans.

Jonny Zero
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
Until a few weeks ago, there was
no reason at all to stay home on a
Friday night watching television.
Now there's Franky G in Jonny
Zero.
Jonny Calvo (Franky G) was just
released from prison after doing four
years for beating a guy to death. He
really wants to turn his life around
(no drugs, no guns, no 'hos), but his
world (which is, naturally, full of
drugs, guns, and 4hos) makes it hard
for Jonny to be a stand-up kinda
guy. Jonny has a low-paying, legit
job in a boxing gym, a high-paying
job with the same boss/crime lord
that helped him get into trouble in
the first place (only this time Jonny
is being forced to find some dirt on
the guy for the cops), and he moon-

lights as a do-good, private investigator, helping folks in the 'hood
with assorted problems, generally
caused by drugs, guns, and ' hos.
There's lots of opportunity for
moral dilemmas and chase scenes
involving his cherry muscle car~
a red and white Chevy SS—but all
that really matters is that Jonny has
plenty of opportunity to remove his
shirt—the guiltiest pleasure on network television this season.
Opening with its now trademark poppy bass beat, the
1990s sitcom "Seinfeld" has brought me joy through all
their kooky and crazy adventures.
Jerry struck gold with this ground-breaking sitcom that
followed the lives of four friends in New York just living
out their lives; it was dry, cynical humor that was an antidote to the 1980s; it was the comedy—the witty and sarcastic eccentricities of each episode—that "Seinfeld" fans fell
in love with.
No matter how many times I've seen the same episode,
you'll still see a smile on my face after every Kramer
entrance or Elaine's "GET OUT" shove.
Be it the physical comedy of Michael Richards (Cosmo
Kramer), or the neurotic ramblings of Jason Alexander
(George Costanza), "Seinfeld" has kept me ecstatic since
my first episode. It is the simple human interactions that
make this show my guilty pleasure.
And with the release of the first three seasons on DVD
you'll be sure to find me.. .well, actually you won't find me
because I'll be bundled up in my room watching "Seinfeld"
reruns.
Tour de France
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
It all started quite innocently six years ago.
Flipping through the
channels, I landed on the
Outdoor Life channel that
was covering the Tour
de France. Boring.. .but
wait.. .these guys are pretty
buff in their neon spandex!
I started watching and
next thing I knew I was
hooked.
For the next 21 days, I
was compelled to w atchtwo to three hours of coverage a day—while learning useful French words
like "maillot jaune" and
"peloton." I was fascinated
by the picturesque French
countryside rolling by and
the obligatory shot of the
local cathedral.
But it's not about the
scenery, it's about the
drama! Why is Lance chasing down the Italian hot
shot? Is perpetual bridesmaid Jan fat again? Is Tyler
on drugs? Will Robin do
his comedy routine? Will
the cameraman give us a
good shot of a streaker?
I know I'm not alone in
my secret obsession, there
are many more out there.
You know those people
you see wearing Lance's
yellow rubber bracelets?
They'll tell you it's about
cancer awareness, but
don't let them kid you: they
x^ spend hours watching the
XTDF, too.
\ And we are all counting
down the days until July 2.

When a wealthy Southern Republican swaps lives with a
liberal middle class lesbian, they don't exactly blend in to
their new lives and the result is a fascinating reality show.
I knew I was hooked from the beginning.
Every week "Wife Swap" takes two extremely opposite
people forces them to trade families for two weeks.
For the first week they agree to live by the already established household rules and in the second week they are
allowed to change the rules, forcing their new family to live
by their rules.
When the rules change the drama begins. Children
resent being punished by someone other than their parents,
clean houses become messy, messy houses clean up, boring
people have fun, and it's great.
At the end of the two weeks all the spouses are reunited
and they sit down to talk. This gives people the chance to
tell someone to their face what they think of their family,
which often ends in a shouting match, or tears-many lessons go unlearned.
There is no cash prize on this show, only the opportunity
to learn from the experience. Unfortunately most of the
people are too unwilling to change or accept the world from
a different perspective.

experiences of those effected
by the current conflict
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
Phi Alpha Theta and the History Club offered
perspectives about the war from troops who
served in Iraq, on Wednesday, March 9 with an
event entitled "Boots on the Ground."
Featuring soldiers who have served in the current conflict in Iraq as guest speakers, the forum
was held in Academic Hall 102. This was the
second of a series of talks on the Iraq issue that
have been recently presented at CSUSM.
After a brief introduction from Chris Mitchell, President of the History Club, the floor was
turned over to Staff Sergeant Chris Kiefer, who
was thefirstspeaker to present his story.
Backed by power point presentations showing pictures and footage from Iraq, perspectives
given at the forum came from ground forces, air
and supply support forces, and even the view of
those left behind at home. The range of views
included those of different military service
branches and gender, with the panel evenly split
with two male and two female speakers.
The majority of the forum offered personal
stories of war and what life was like for soldiers
in various theatresfightingover in Iraq. In specific details, the event managed to bring the conflict in Iraq down to a very human level detached
from political views and heated debate as the
speakers stood one by one and told their stories.
Aside from the human aspects of the war and
the intricacies of military life and sense of duty
that the speakers talked about, the forum also
revealed a basic uniform sentiment among those
in military service.

The second annual Wellness Day
Fair & Expo was held Wednesday,
March 9, at the Clarke Field House.
Sponsored by the University Student
Union Advisory Board, students, faculty, and staff that attended the fair
munched on free sandwiches and
drinks provided as they perused the
assorted booths.
There were all kinds of freebies handed out; gun locks from the

ored condoms from the Lesbian Gay

The free items were a great draw
and got people to learn about some of
the wellness-related services that the
organizations present at the fair provide.

Steve Scott ran on a treadmill. Scott
said that he was looking forward to a

this move is
not realistic given the

g uidelines
for admittance into this league
of prominent college level athletics.
The San Diego Union-Tribune recently profiled Cal State
San Marcos President, Karen
S. Haynesfirstyear. The article
from March 13, 2005 stated,
"When respondents (students)
clamored for more campus life,
she appointed the university's
first athletic director and asked
him to create more sports
teams."
This cooperation between
the Administration and the
Athletic Department outlines
their desire for sports teams at
Cal State San Marcos.
The decision to go forward
with sports teams brings many
questions to the minds of students. The ultimate decision
is left up to the student voters
of Cal State San Marcos who
will decide if the Athletics Fee
Referendum is something they
want to support.
CSUSM does not qualify for
membership the National Collegiate Athletics Association
(NCAA) and participates in the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
The NCAA has three Divisions with San Diego State
at the top. NAIA is one level

Cal State San Marcos participates in NAIA Region II

TROOPS, from page 1
The dominant message
expressed among panelists was
one of armed services accomplishment in Iraq.
"From my experience they
want us there and are very grateful," said Sgt. Kiefer speaking about his dealings with the
majority of the Iraqi populace.
Perhaps the most unique and
rarely heard perspective given
at the forum was that of Morgan
Copeland McCorkle whose
husband is currently serving in
Iraq. The life of an army wife,
McCorkle noted, was to not
only support the troops but also
to support their families and
spouses at home, both physically and emotionally. So far
McCorkle's husband has been
away on military duty for over
two years of their seven year
relationship.
there to promote their trails
system and organized hikes.
Non-profit groups such as the
American Cancer Society, Lupus
Foundation, Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention, American Liver
Foundation, Risk Management,
and Student Health Services were
also on hand educating students
about the services that they offer.
Other activities included a
stress relief room with punching
bags, a relaxation room and a tent
building contest sponsored by
Associated Students Inc. (ASI).
Throughout the event raffle
prizes donated by the various
participants were handed out to
the lucky winners.
Devon Romero, Fitness Coordinator and an organizer of the
event said she felt the Wellness
Fair and Expo went "fabulous."
"It was nice to see a lot of students come down, intermingle
and learn from vendors," said
After the forum ended the
floor was briefly turned over to
the audience to ask questions.
Although there was an obvious difference in political viewpoints present in the room,

questions were respectful, with
perhaps the most heated question being if any of the panelists
had seen the film "Fahrenheit
911."
Romero.
According to Romero approximately 600 students, faculty
and staff attended the four hour
event.
Romero said that, "more
people came out and there were
more donations and vendors,"
this year. Romero largely attributed the increase in involvement
to the fact that this year wellness
activities are during the entire
month of March, while last year
there was only the Wellness Fair
and Expo event.
After the Wellness Fair and
Expo there was a massage room
set up from 2:15 to 5 p.m. in the
Field House where free massages
were given. The Academy of
Professional Careers: School of
Massages donated 4 massage
chairs and 6 massage therapists
for the event.
"Wellness isn't just about physical health; it's about emotional,
spiritual, intellectual, occupa-
"I was pleasantly surprised
how well-mannered the audience was," said Mitchell, who
moderated the question session.
A round of applause followed the end of the forum as a
number of students lined up to
shake hands with the speakers.
McCorkle said she felt the
forum was well attended given
the fact that it was slated during
the same time as the sex toy
workshop in Clarke Fieldhouse.
"I'm very proud of it (the
event and attendance)," said
McCorkle, who is also the
President of Phi Alpha Theta.
McCorkle said she was thankful for those military personnel
who joined her in the forum,
noting that she was "glad that
we can continue to put on these
events and students and faculty
are interested."

the NAIA competitions.
The NCAA has strict guidelines for qualifying for Division
L
"An average of 15,000 fans
(that) show up to every game," is
one of the guidelines for NCAA
Division I said Kent Barrett,
Associate Director for Public
and Media Relations NCAA.
The lowest level of the NCAA
is Division III which offers no
scholarships. The long term
benefits ofjoining NCAA would
include scholarships and money
earned if Cal State San Marcos
does well in sports competitions.
Stephen Nichols, athletic
director, claims on the athletic department's web site that
sports team will "bring greater
recognition to, and awareness
of, our university. This will, in
turn, make your degree more
valuable."
There are two dominant student views towards the proposed measure. One view holds
that, the school should focus on
the academic future of Cal State
San Marcos and leave sports to
San Diego State.
The other view is the school
could use sports teams to
improve student life on campus.
Next week students will vote
on the proposed fee that will set
aside money specifically for the
Athletic Department. This decision will decide the fate of intercollegiate sports at Cal State
San Marcos.
According to a letter to The
Pride, Nichols will not petition
for money from the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA)
next semester regardless if the
proposed fee is passed or not.
This means intercollegiate
sports will end its funding from
Cal State San Marcos if students
vote against the fee increase, and
the 80 students that participate
in the non-spectator sports may
have to deal with the reality of
the end of intercollegiate sports
at Cal State San Marcos.
The Athletic Department
¡mum
now receives funding from the
IRA that ranges from $12,000
to $31,450 per semester. The
IRA is funded by students every
semester with a $5 fee and
divided up to different organizations on campus. Cal State
San Marcos does not allow any
organization on campus to take
more than one third of the entire
amount.
At other CSU schools, like
San Diego State, the Athletic
Department gets almost the
entire sum of money. With their
$28 IRA fee versus the Cal State
San Marcos $5 fee, San Diego
State has more money to divide
up with fewer organizations
requesting it.
The CSUSM Athletic Department also receives money from
the CSU General Fund in the
amount of $200,000 a semester. This money will continue to
be paid on top of the $296,000
expected if the fee proposal
passes.

campus police officers, administrators, and student volunteers
will partake in thefirstpart of a
two part DUI prevention program
by distributing literature to those

Women's Studies host sex toy workshop in hopes of helping students to become more comfortable with their sexuality
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Cyber bullets, cock rings and anal beads
were just a few items on display at the
annual Sex Toys Workshop, sponsored by
the Women's Studies organization at the
Clark Field House Wednesday, March 9.
Jamah Dacus, director of For Your Pleasure, Inc, presented a wide range of erotic
lotions, potions and battery operated toys
to over 160 students.
Dacus said the keys to sexual satisfaction are sexual acceptance, effective communication and practicing safer sex.
Dacus stressed, "Safer sex is not just
about using condoms, but taking responsibility for our bodies and our partners'—
this means getting tested for STD's and
HIV/AIDS every year."
A climax of giggles erupted when
Dacus challenged the audience to "reclaim
our asses from our buttphobic culture."
Adding, "Anal sex - it's no longer a nasty
or gay male activity."
Dacus introduced the audience to the
"prostrate massage" (the prostrate being
located two inches inside the male anal
cavity - toward the belly button, also
doubles as a g-spot). Apparently, when
massaged during foreplay can produce the
equivalent of a woman's multiple orgasm.
Dacus stressed thefiverules for anal sex
(whether performed on a man or woman)
are, "Lube, Lube, Lube, Lube and more
Lubrication!" Adding later that waterbased lubrication should always be used in
conjunction with condoms.
After a brief demonstration, the audience was able to test, smell and taste each

of the products.
Katie Sammons, senior communications
major, smiling ten minutes after volunteering to test the Nipple Nibbler Cream,
giggled, "This is so much fun. It's such
a comfortable and open environment and
I'm still tingling."

Heather Hitson, women's studies major
and chief coordinator of the event, said, "I
think - 1 hope students leave feeling more
comfortable with their bodies and willing
to try more things sexually."
Students attended the event for a variety
of reasons.
Phillip Weaver, junior business/finance
major, said that he is only on campus two
days a week and thought this would be a
good opportunity to get involved in more
student activities and learn a few new
things as well.
Karina Prado, senior liberal studies/

I'm taking a human reproduction class and
I also missed it last year. I've learned that
you can have pleasure with both - a partner and without a partner."

�Super-savings from
gravy to detergent
Helpful tips to cut your grocery bill in half
BY CHRIS KING
Pride Staff Writer
Penny-pinching is a necessity
for many students, especially
those who are stuck with weekly
grocery bills. If you're interested
in saving some serious gravy,
the best advice would be to pick
up a Sunday paper and discover
what's nestled at the center.
Major supermarket chains such
as Vons and Albertson's double
the value of almost all manufacture coupons. Combine those
with Catalina coupons - coupons
you receive after purchasing certain items - and you'll pay little
to nothing for otherwise pricey
items such as toilet paper or laundry detergent.
The combination of coupons
and weekly grocery ads are the
dynamic duo for saving, however, it takes time and organization. Match coupons with weekly
store advertised items; especially
those that are buy one get one
free.
Occasionally really hot buys
will be out of stock and when
this happens it's time to capitalize. Request a rain check with
the item's purchase limit - if any
- and continue looking for coupons that match that item in the
weeks to come.
Be aware of brands with many
similar items such as Tide. If
Tide is promoting a new detergent with a coupon, be sure to
buy the exact detergent on the
coupon. Unless the coupon reads
'selected varieties', don't assume
the coupon will cover the Tide
you typically buy. You might get

lucky, but the for the most part it
won't work.
If you just don't have the time
to sift through the paper every
week the savings are still attainable for a reasonable fee.
There are a number websites
that provide services for as little
as $5.00 a month. Be wise when
choosing a website. Make sure
the site provides a list of free item
coupons as well as linking them
with ads.

Lastly, it is imperative that
you verify the savings on your
receipt. From time to time coupons won't double, checkers fail
to scan them, or the item comes
up at the wrong price.
Give coupon shopping some
deep thought. It can have some
lasting effects on your shopping
habits and allow you to actualize
the savings plan you've be yearning for so long.

As to having color, I thought it
was unsubtly ironic, except that
it came about because our outstanding business manager, Brian
Reichert, sold a color ad. Nice
coincidence, though.
As to Steve's "rebuttal," all I
can say is 'what were you thinking, dude?' You got your fee
request on the ballot. Would it
have killed you to simply write
in support of The Pride and
leave it at that? How nice that,
as a faculty member (or are you
staff?), you were able to do an
end-run around the student fee
process and start a dialog with
all those bigwigs in the Chancellor's office. Do you sleep better

literally hours of searching online for what each of our student
fees pays for, I never did uncover
the mystery of the ARF.) Several new or increased fees have
already passed during my six
semesters here, and we all know
that the "non-mandatory" parking permit fee and instructional
fees have sky-rocketed. That
said, I won't be voting in favor of
athletics. On the other hand, I've
pretty much read every issue of
The Pride for the last six semesters, so I definitely would have
voted in favor of a fee to help the
paper reach self-sufficiency—that
fee would have been an investment in developing a product, so
to speak, which would have paid
off later with good ad revenues,
while developing student writing skills and attracting more talented students to our staff.
Lucky for Steve and Karen, it
seems the only students that vote
on the referenda are those who
have an interest in seeing them
pass; I predict an easy victory for
the athletics fee.
As for The Pride, maybe we'll
get some entrepreneurial business majors to darken our doorstep and help us become the selfsufficient entity we ought to be.
God knows athletics won't ever

how we come up with our stories. We will also like to extend an invitation.
Our paper's primary focus is the CSUSM community, the studentsfirstfollowed by faculty, staff and then the surrounding community. We could
go out and seek storiesfromall around including neighboring cities, the county, the state, the country and the world; however, the problem when
we reach out too far for those stories is trying to tie those stories back in with our campus. That is why we primarily will not go out and cover
stories where the links to our campus are not obvious: there are news sources that cover those stories quite effectively. It is not a limitation of the
abilities of the staff; rather, it is effective utilization of the little space we have to provide coverage of our university.
That brings us to the invitation. Many believe they can do better than the current staff of The Pride. Prove it. Come work for The Pride, be an
editor, a staff writer, a contributor, and be part of the solution. If anything, at least send in your story ideas to pride@csusm.edu if you know of an
event coming up that is newsworthy.
After all, it is easy to call out the problems in something. It is difficult to do something about it.

Who needs college?
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
Why did you go to college? What
are you going to do afterwards? Those
are questions most people don't ask
themselves too often in the middle of
a busy college semester, and depending upon the major the answers probably vary.
Being a history major, the question
always seems to arise of what I am
going to do after college. The problem
is that history is one of those subjects
that people love to disregard as much
ado about nothing. It happened to me
just the other day, I was talking to a
non-collegiate peer, and they asked
what I was majoring in at college.
When I said "history" the inevitable
"oh, what are you going to do with a
degree in that" came back at me. As
the conversation continued they asked
me if I was going to continue on after
my BA, which I said I was, and they
queried in what subject. "History"
again, with its partner spilling from
the mouth of the other as "oh, are you
going to be a teacher." This is about
the third time this year alone that I've
had a conversation along these lines
with someone outside of the college
atmosphere, and it never fails that the
person I'm having the conversation
with makes assumptions about my
future career or chosen major. And
eventually I'll simply be reminded
of how hard it is to get a job in my
chosen field.
It's the assumption that history is
one of those road to nowhere subjects
(at home with the arts, literature, and
similar subjects) that's bothersome.
The fact is I already know that it's
difficult to get a job, even after a college education, and especially with
roughly 70 percent of employers in
the United States currently either
decreasing or at least not increasing
their hiring activities for the beginning of2005. But I'd like to think that
maybe it's just as difficult to find a
good job with any major, not just mine
- although that's one of the assumptions I get all the time. The fact is that
my history major could be used to get
a job in historical research, as a curator, writing, a government job, a job in
film, or even business and the list can
go on with teaching just being one of
many options.
Of course, just because there is a
range of jobs I could do in my major
doesn't mean I'm any better off in the
arena of finding one. People assume
that a job will be more readily available to someone with a business
major, for example, and maybe that's
true to some degree, but job opportunities, and a greater ability to reap the
financial benefits later on, are not all I
went to college for. I went to college in
large part because I wanted to become
a more well rounded person, I wanted
to learn, and I wanted to associate
with similar individuals of like mind.
This is the factor people tend to forget
when I tell them about my major or
how that might lead to a job later on.
Maybe it's just me, but college would
be important even if I never succeeded
in making a cent from it.

�Johnny Carino's serves up
airline-quality fare
BY JOELLE FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
Mama Mia! What a nightmare!
Last Saturday my boyfriend and I had
the misfortune of dining at Johnny Carino's, the new Italian restaurant on San
Marcos Boulevard. Upon exiting the car,
we smelled the enticing aromas of garlic,
basil, and scrumptious Italian cooking.
The hostess informed us that it would
be a fifteen minute wait, which was no
surprise since the place was packed with

families and couples waiting inside and
out. After a quick ten minutes we were
seated at a quaint little booth and promptly
delivered drinks and a loaf of bread in a
white paper bag. The guilt of the no-carbcraze steered me clear of the bread but my
boyfriend reported that it was tasty, and he
dipped it into an olive-oil and garlic sauce
concocted by the waitress at the table.

After waiting twenty minutes, our
growling tummies were ready for a good
meal—not what ended up on our plates!
The salad was drenched in a salty, overpowering dressing (supposed to be on the
side), and the flavors sharply contrasted
with the sweet pecans atop thefish.The
salmon was dry,fishy-tasting,and downright unappealing, but my meal didn't even
compare to my boyfriend's.
His steak tasted like it had been swimming in a vat of butter for at least two
weeks. The vegetables and potatoes
looked old and tired. In general, his meal
was comparable to something that would
be served to your Aunt Millie in her convalescent home.
Overall, we give Johnny Carino's a less
than excellent report, unless of course cafeteria and airplane food are your thing,
in which case you'll love this misguided
chain, posing as a quality Italian eatery...

Keg stand+ " Robots" g ood t echno-escapism
Shakespeare
= great theater
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
When Caesar and Antony do keg stands at
their party, you know this isn't your mother's
Shakespeare.
Before you let the name "Shakespeare" keep
you from reading further, be assured that the
difficulty of his language need not keep you or
the unwashed masses from enjoying this show.
(And if you're already a Shakespeare fan, please
feel free to jump ahead to the next paragraph.) It
may surprise you to learn that you already know
99 percent of the words used in the play (though
there are always a few that require footnotes.)
The thing with Shakespeare is how his words
are put together: musically if you're a learned
fan, archaically if you're not. That in mind, go
to the show with the idea that it's in a "foreign"
language, and look to the actors, the staging, the
props, the music, and, every so often, the actual
words, to follow the story. On to the review:
The Poor Players—arguably San Diego's best
Shakespearean acting company—have done it
again with their lively and relevant production
of "Antony & Cleopatra"-a play about sex, love
and war that opens with a stage full of writhing
bodies and ends with a stage full of dead ones.
Director Nick Kennedy has used Jim Morrison as his inspiration for Antony (Richard
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
Robots, they aren't just for
nerds anymore.
With the release df the
new 20 Century Fox movie
"Robots" there is finally
proof that an animated movie
can actually make an adult
laugh. This techno-filled
extravaganza moves you to
the point of pure adulation as
you root for the underdog in
this extremely colorful CGI
world.
Rodney Copperbottom
(Ewan McGregor) is dreaming pretty big for a smalltown robot, and once he
makes his way into the big
city to find Big Weld (Mel
Brooks), all hell breaks
loose. When in town he runs

Baird), alluding to similarities between Shakespeare's bacchanalian Antony and the Lizard
King through costume and music choices.
Baird embodies Antony's pomposity and lust,
which are tempered by the fact that he is pussywhipped by the charismatic, and equally, if not
exceedingly, lusty Cleopatra (Amy Meyer).
These larger-than-life characters also make
"Antony & Cleopatra" Shakespeare's funniest
tragedy, providing plenty of opportunities to
laugh before the bloodshed.
Cleopatra is the central figure in the tragic
love triangle with Antony and Caesar (Nick
Kennedy). Meyer was brilliant as the somewhat labile Queen of Egypt, with extra kudos
to the costume department for their embellishment of her highness. Kennedy's usually evenhanded delivery played perfectly in his role as
the great Octavius Caesar-the embodiment of
Roman discipline, and a character so opposed
to Antony and his Egyptian licentiousness that
their faces could serve as models for a pair of
comedy/drama masks.
While every player in this company is worth
seeing, two particularly excellent performances
were given by Mac Macke as Enobarbus and
Edwin Eigner as Lepidus.
"Antony & Cleopatra" runs through April 10
at the Academy of Performing Arts on Alvarado
Canyon Road in San Diego. Visit www.poorplayers.com or call (619) 255-1401 for more
information.
across the eccentric Fender
(Robin Williams) and they
are pushed into a world where
robots are being destroyed
left and right - and it's up to
Rodney to save the day.
Throughout the movie
Fender's comments, and
actions, will leave you with a
little smirk on your face - the
kind of smirk robot humor
brings to the table. While
there are a number of other
in-your-face-funny robots in
the movie, it's Fender (Robin
Williams mind you) whose
improv makes the movie
come alive, while Rodney's
quest keeps you in the story.
The little parts within the
movie - like clever wordplay,
and the contrast of subtle and
startling on screen action
- account for a lot of the
Images courtesy of 20th Century Fox
movie's laughs. The movie
sprints from the opening
scene and never stops; characters are always in motion
and interacting in a way that
is entertaining for everyone.
Don't be fooled by the PG
rating: "Robots" has some
great suggestive humor that
might fly over the heads
The Rock "Be Cool" the
others be lukewarm
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
Sequels are usually not as good as the
original. This isn't engraved in stone
but just a guideline. Don't expect too
much is basically it. "Be Cool" is the
sequel to 1995's "Get Shorty," where
Chili Palmer (John Travolta), a movie
loving shylock becomes a movie producer. Now, in "Be Cool," Palmer is
upset with the movie industry and turns
to the music industry.
But not expecting much isn't the
same as a movie built on other movies.
"Be Cool" has one obvious reference to
other movies after another. It was as if
the writer, Peter Steinfeld, made a list
of references to other movies and then
built the plot around it. Are the references really more important than the
plot? Here's an example: we all remember the dance contest sequence with
Travolta and Thurman in "Pulp Fiction," where Travolta danced for his job
and Thurman danced simply to win.
So it's logical to incorporate a dance
sequence in "Be Cool" and they do. But
after that, the sequence goes nowhere
and does nothing.
On with the plot: Tommy Athens
(James Woods), a friend of Chili's, gets
murdered by the Russian mob. Chili
finishes his Athens' job of producing a
young and innocent singer named Linda
Moon (Christina Milian). But Moon
already has a manager Raji (Vince
Vaughn) with his bodyguard Elliot Wilhelm (The Rock), who works for Nick
Carr (Harvey Keitel), owner of a record
label. Turns out Athens has a debt with
another music label owner, Sin LaSalle
(Cedric the Entertainer). With Athens'
wife Edie (Uma Thurman), Chili has
to promote and produce Moon's debut
album while watching his back. There
are numerous cameos by Steven Tyler
of Aerosmith, Seth Green, etc.
The Rock has the only performance
worth the screen time. We're used to
seeing him as a tough guy onscreen and
as a wrestler. But here, he's a tough guy
of little ones, but is easily
picked up by anyone thirteen
and older.
Next time school leaves
you feeling worked overtoday, maybe?~head over
to the multi-plex, grab some
popcorn, and let "Robots"

minutes anyway.

trying to be tough but in the end, he's
sensitive and doesn't realize he's gay. I
was disenchanted with yet another reference not to another movie but to his
character in the wrestling world. The
reference was "The People's Eyebrow"
where he lifts up his eyebrow into an
arch.
Sadly, "Be Cool" isn't a film. It's
more of a parody, an illusion, a commercial. Everyone involved should take
their gold chains, their black suits, their
hummers, their guns, their one liners
and reflect the movie they made. It
might have seemed funny and poetic on
paper but onscreen it's totally different.

Donna Frye
San Diego City Council member, former
mayoral candidate and
political activist Donna
Frye has a message for
CSUSM students: "Get
involved. I would say...
not just involving poli-
tics, but just involving life in general."
Frye came to campus on March 16 to
help celebrate Women's History month at
the Clark Field House.
Dressed in a suit and tennis shoes, Frye
set the tone between herself and the audience of students and community members.
She began by sharing a personal story
about the spousal abuse she endured for a
number of years, which she said made her
a stronger woman in the long run. Then
Frye talked about how her 1988 marriage
to professional surfer Skip Frye started her
political involvement writing legislation
about water quality issues.
Frye spoke about being elected to the
city council in June 2001 with no intention
of furthering her political career.
"Becoming an elected official never
appealed to me," said Frye.

According to Director of University Global Affairs Dr. Peter
Zwick, there are currently two
students from Cal "State San
Marcos who have applied to the
Fulbright program. Both students have passed the first of
three rounds in the selection process. Zwick said that these are the
only students from the campus to
ever apply to the program that he
is aware.
Claudino told the students that
attended the informational meeting that the Fulbright program
is an important opportunity for
them.
"It really opens doors, and
the networks are amazing," said
Claudino.
He said his mission for coming
to the campus was to increase
diversity in the Fulbright program and encourage students to
apply who are minorities.
"(I) want (the Fulbright program) to represent all schools

Claudino. "We don't want students f rom j ust Yale or Harvard."
The HE and Zwick are beginning a Development Initiative
which would target campuses
like Cal State San Marcos who
currently are not very involved
with the Fulbright program.
Zwick will receive professional
training about the program,
which will enable h im to disseminate information to more
students on campus.
Claudino also discussed the
background of the Fulbright
program, and tips on how to
apply.
The program was started in
1946 by f ormer Sen. J. William Fulbright of A rkansas
to enhance the relationships
between the U.S. and other
countries a fter W WII. Now, in
a time when the need for global
communication is pertinent, the
Fulbright U.S. Student Program
is way for students to experience other cultures. The program o ffers locations of study
including A frica, Asia and the
Western hemisphere. The Fulbright study abroad program
is also unique in that it is a binational program. Grants are
f unded by the U.S. government
and the host country covering
travel and study for up to 12
months.
Projects vary according to
individual's i nterests and may
include university coursework,
independent library research,
special projects in the sciences, or a combination of these
aspects.

Student reaction to the St. Patrick's Day event was positive as

He said however that while

a lot of f un, but if we don't handle

The candidates proposed ways
of getting students more involved
on campus by t aking interest in
both political and social events.
Some thought communication
between ASI and students was in
need o f a makeover.
" There is a lack of communication between ASÍ and the students at Cal State San Marcos,"
said Heidi Doyle, candidate for
the College .of A rts and Sciences
Representative.
All of the candidates addressed
student concerns regarding the
cost of getting an education.
"We need tuition to b e down.
We need financial aid to b e up.
We need students' rights to b e a
priority for our legislators," said
Cheyenne Barr, V P of external
a ffairs candidate.
"Lobby C orp has been working to make sure that budget cuts
don't a ffect the tuition here at
school, particularly with financial aid," said Jeremy Mills, VP
of external a ffairs candidate.
CSUSM Athletic Director
Steve Nichols also spoke at the
event to answer student questions
and concerns about the proposed
Athletics f ee referendum.
" What we are seeking is forty
dollars per student, per semester. If we get that, we will be
able to build t eams in men's and
women's soccer, women's volleyball, women's Softball, and men's
baseball," said Nichols. "I'm not
saying I'm gonna make college
cheaper for you . ..I'm saying
that this is gonna add value t o the
campus."
When asked if the candidates
addressed the issues that were
important to h im student Omar
Yanez, a j unior criminology major
said: "Not exactly, but I think
that if anything, Sarah (Leonard)
might have had a closer approach
to the issues that concerned me."
" I would like to see more academic representation of the diversity on campus, said Yariez. "On
election day, (students) should
definitely vote, take two to three
minutes of their time—just
vote."

raises
money for
Multiple

DUI, from page 1
BY JOELLE FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
The brothers of Sigma Alpha
Epsilon joined together on
campus to raise money for a
good cause.
On Wednesday, March 17, all
21 members and some Sigma
Alpha Epsilon alumni set up a
table outside the library and sold
pizza for two dollars a slice, to
raise money for the Multiple
Sclerosis (MS) Walk.
The MS walk will take place
Saturday April 9 and Sunday
April 10 at Legoland in Carlsbad.
"Last year we donated about
$850," said Sigma Alpha Epsilon President Jason Mossuto.
"We expect to donate over $1000
this year."
"One of the girls in one of the
sororities has MS and last year
we donated in her name. This
year we will be donating in her
name again," said Mossuto.
Mossuto remarked it didn't
take any convincing to get these
frat boys onto campus for this
cause.
"They know that it's for a
really good cause and it's really
important to our fraternity that
we give back to the community
and do our philanthropy," said
Mossuto, "We stand for 'true
gentlemen.'"
Mossuto encourages other
students to get involved in the
fight against MS.
"You can donate if you go to
the MS website, through team
Sigma Alpha Epsilon if you like,
and you'll know where your
money is going," said Mossuto.
More information about the
MS Walk can be found at: http://

for intoxicated drivers. In total, University
Police recorded two DUI arrests for the
night. No CSUSM students were arrested at
the checkpoint.
The first arrest came around 9 p.m. when
University Police sergeant Marlon Estepa,
patrolling near campus, observed a white
late model Toyota Tacoma swerving on Twin
Oaks Valley Road.
Estepa said that while questioning the
driver he detected the scent of alcohol and
learned that both the driver and passenger
were under age. Estepa said he discovered
two open beer containers during his visual
sweep of the vehicle. University Police sergeants Dan Koehler and Jessie Flores arrived
to back up Estepa.
Koehler issued the 20-year-old passenger
of the vehicle a citation for minor in possession of alcohol. If convicted, he may face a
fine and his driver license could be revoked
for one year. The driver waited on the curb
just in front of his vehicle with his hands in
his pockets rocking back and forth.
As Flores observed, Estepa furthered the
investigation by asking the driver to stand so
he could conduct a sobriety test. After completing the test, the driver agreed to blow

business behind closed doors to
avoid controversy is cowardly
and wrong.
Talking about how she boycotted closed council sessions Frye
said, "I do not shy away from
controversy."
Discussing her efforts to
change the way government
business is conducted, she said
that she didn't expect so much
support from voters during her
2004 mayoral campaign.
"I was almost in tears I was
so amazed," said Frye about the
overwhelming amount of people
who signed a petition qualifying
her to run as a write-in candidate.
Frye said Mayor Dick Murphy
and Ron Roberts, the opposing
candidates during the campaign,
didn't even contest her participation in the mayoral debates.
"They looked like bookends
(during the debate) as I stood
in the middle. There were Mr.
Status and Mr. Quo," said Frye
describing the visual of the may-
into a breathalyzer. The breathalyzer indicated the driver had a blood alcohol content
(BAC) of 0.14 percent which is almost twice
the legal limit of 0.08 percent. The driver was
handcuffed, placed in the back of a squad car
where he later urinated on himself, and his
truck was towed and impounded.
"We make these stops off of the campus
because it can still effect our still our students," said Koehler. "If we overlook it, it
grows into a much bigger problem."
Koehler says it's important that people
under age know the serious risks and consequences associated with drinking and
drunk driving. The minor arrested for DUI,
for example, will likely receive fines up to
$5,000 and not be eligible to drive until the
age of 22. There is also a possibility of jail
time.
The second DUI arrest was made at approximately 10:30 p.m. by University Police officer Courtney Bronson at the sobriety checkpoint. Bronson said she noticed that a male
in his 20s driving a red Pontiac Grand Prix
smelled of alcohol during his checkpoint
inspection. Bronson alerted other officers
and they surrounded the vehicle with a special device known as the "Sniffer" flashlight,
which can pick up the scent of alcohol. After
oral debate.
Frye said she lost the election
due to the voters forgetting to fill
in the corresponding bubble after
writing her name on the ballot
(Mayor Dick Murphy won). She
ended her talk with the current
actions being taken in response
to the outcome.
Lawsuits have been filed on
behalf of Frye to count the votes
thrown out, but in speaking she
was adamant in letting the public
know that she isn't personally
involved.
"Donna Frye hasfiledzero lawsuits (to turn the vote around),"
said Frye.
Frye opened up the floor by
answering a question about her
the flashlight indicated the presence of alcohol, Bronson ordered the driver out of the
vehicle and a volunteer officer took the driver's place and parked the car.
Bronson said that not only was the smell
of alcohol present, but the driver's eyes were
extremely red, however, the driver's answers
to all of Bronson's questions were clear.
Bronson opted to proceed with her investigation by conducting a sobriety test. She concluded the test by using a breathalyzer which
indicated the driver had a BAC of 0.18 percent, over twice the legal limit. The driver
was handcuffed and his car was placed on the
back of a truck to later be impounded.
"This guy (DUI driver) was just an average
good guy like me and now he will suffer like
a criminal for a bad choice," said Koehler
remarking on how a DUI and the penalties
that result can be prevented by drivers being
responsible.
All law enforcement agencies involved in
the night's checkpoint are part of the North
County Law Enforcement Traffic Safety
Council. The DUI prevention efforts were
a result of funding from the state distributed
to each agency specifically for enforcing and
preventing drunk driving.

"I feel at home," said Frye
Cal State San Marcos student
Karlene Wiegand was excited
about Frye's arrival on campus.
"She is a woman who doesn't
conform to others," said Wiegand adding that she relates to
Frye because of her work with
water quality issues. "Being
a surfer myself, that was very
important to me."
Palomar College
student
Rachel Gilstrop shared similar
thoughts.
"Frye is a strong female

What
if
I'm
ence is going to have to pay
attention because there are a lot
of underlying meanings," Davis
said about his film.
Davis, who is an A rts and
Technology major, was at one
point a p ro-surfer before he
began p ursuing his film career.
Davis met Matt Forsyth and Neal
Lett in CSUSM's a rt department
and the trio forged Brokenline
Productions. They wanted t o
create an independent film company that supports local artists
and promotes industry change.
Davis said filmmaking "should
be about the a rt and the project."
Each member of the company
brought something unique and
vital to the table. They m ade
their own studio in which they
paid for themselves. Davis w rote
and directed the 35-minute short
film. Forsyth created their logos,
website and designed the sets
for the film. Lett directed the
cinematography and worked his
magic with the camera.
From start to finish, the project
took about a year to come to f ruition. Davis wrote the screenplay
in three months. The entire film
was shot in f our days, and the
final editing took five months to
complete. All t hree are current
students with 18 or more units
who put in over 300 hours to put
this film together.

�Surfin' waves and
makin' grades
BY HEATHER ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
sisted of two long boarders, two
body boarders and two women
surfers. Depending on the performance of each of the male
surfers at tryouts, they were put
on either the A team or the B
team.
CSUSM's surf team has been
around for several seasons now.
The team is supported by some
of the surfer's family members
and also many private sponsors. Tryouts for the 2005-2006
season will be held sometime in
September. The team is always
looking for new recruits, as
each year a few key surfers are
lost after graduation.
"This whole thing is pretty
much for f un and I encourage
anyone with the least bit of competitive drive to come out, tryout
and support us," Cannon.
For more information regarding the team, tryouts, and the
upcoming Nationals competition contact Jeremy Cannon at
canno010@csusm.edu.
It's March, and CSUSM's
surf team is getting ready to
make some waves this year at
Nationals. A fter taking fourth
place at Nationals last June, the
men's A-team is hoping to go
back and maintain their top five
status.
According to surf team captain Jeremy Cannon, this season
didn't go as smoothly as they
would have hoped with many
competitions being delayed and
even a few being cancelled altogether. Jeremy explained that
they had a lot of talent on their
teams this year, but lacked the
competition experience.
For the 2004-2005 season,
CSUSM had a large enough
turnout at tryouts to put together
three teams. The teams were
broken down into two men's
surfing teams and one special
team. The special team con-

THE PRIDE
Spring Break is a time to responsibly blow off some steam
BY J ENNIFER I ANNI
Pride Staff Writer
For many college students,
spring break is the only time of
year that it's acceptable to cut
loose and have f un every night
of the week. A fter spending the
semester worrying about papers
and exams, spring break is the
t ime to take a breather and
go out with your f riends.
Of course, you always say
y ou'll spend some time
studying and getting a head
start on last-minute school
projects, but let's f ace it,
during spring break, most
people j ust want to have
f un. So grab your f riends,
I.D. and designated driver,
and get ready to p arty—you
deserve it!
Whether you plan to spend
t he day lounging in the sand ™
or the night dancing on the
tables at a club, the most important thing to remember when
going out with f riends is to pick
a designated driver beforehand.
Play rock-paper-scissors, flip a
coin, draw straws, or p ull a name
f rom a h at It doesn't m atter how
you pick one, j ust pick one.
Ify ou are the designated driver,
it doesn't mean you can't have a
good time. Take the responsibility seriously. You don't have t o b e
d runk to have a good time. You
can always amuse yourself by
watching your d runken f riends
make fools out of themselves,
while you, the Saintly Sober One,
take pictures with your digital
camera. The best p art is that you
and back, you can get into a celebratory mood before you've even
left the house! But don't overdo
it. There's nothing sexy about
throwing u p in the bathroom of
your favorite bar while your best
f riend holds your hair back and
your designated driver takes pictures.
The best p art about going out
to bars or nightclubs, par™ ticularly if you're female, is
getting, f ree drinks. Sorry,
boys, but girls always get
f ree drinks, especially if they
know the bartender. So, next
time you're at your favorite
pub, chat u p the guy behind
the counter. If he knows you,

�Don't hit the beach, hit the books
Avoid procrastination a nd reward in moderation
BY JOELLE FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
Photo illustration by Christine Baldwin / The Pride
Pride Features Editor Christine Baldwin (above) maintains her studious
fortitude while her husband Rob (left) falls victim to the drink.
With spring break quickly
approaching, many students
vow to stay at home and study
while their friends booze it up
in Cancun and Day tona Beach.
While hitting the books may
seem like a dreadful way to
spend your vacation, returning to school prepared and
ahead of the game sure does
have its perks.
So, this spring break, consider drowning yourself in
your studies instead of drowning yourself in a Mai Tai on
the beautiful, enticing beaches
of paradise.
Replace that
muscular, suntanned cabana
boy with that exhaustingly
wordy Dickens' novel that has
been smashed, unopened, at
the bottom of your backpack
all semester. Don't hit the
beach—hit the books!
When your friends come
back from vacation, sure
they'll have a suntan, some
wild stories, and a few more
notches in their belts, but
they'll also have a ton of work
to catch up on. With only five
more weeks of school remaining, they will be stressed,
sleep deprived, and worn out.
Won't it be nice to smile, take
a deep breath, and feel in control of your academic destiny?
Resist the temptation to party
right now and remember that
"good things come to those
who wait." Summer is just
around the corner, and the day
you ace that last final, you'll
be "livin' la vida loca."
It is important to reward
yourself for a j ob well done,
so don't forget to give yourself treats along the way. For
every hour you spend typing
that 10 page paper on the
mating rituals of West A frican bees, reward yourself
with 15 minutes of laying out
in the sunshine. If you have
fast metabolism, eat one piece
of your favorite candy every
time you read five pages of
that book you've been ignoring all semester. If you don't
have the metabolism of an 11year-old boy, don't try this one
at home.
Remember that you are not
alone. There are plenty of
other students just like you
who plan to use their spring
break as a time to both catch
up and get ahead. Find out
if any of these self-loathing
individuals would like to form
study groups with you. Invite
them over for a movie night so
that you guys can watch the six
hour movie version of "Bleak
House." Your teacher didn't
really expect you to read that
novel anyway.
If you feel the need to get
out of your house, take your
lap top over to your nearest
coffee shop and study there.
Suck down one of those overpriced, frothy, creamy concoctions and enjoy the buzz.
For those of you that don't
live at home, make a trip to
your parents' house and study
there. They'll be glad to know
that their money isn't being
wasted on your education
and reward you with yummy
home cooked meals and a pat
on the back for all of your hard
work.
In the wise words of Aristotle, "It is possible to fail in
many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one
way." You may feel like you
are giving up well-earned
party time by studying over
the break, but when you look
back on the semester, you will
be proud of the results of your
hard work and dedication.
That said—what are you waiting for? Get to work!

OPINION
THE PRIDE
Hey! Quit violating MySpace
Pride staffer relates a tale of horror and deceit with the popular Internet friend network
BY HEATHER ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
I am taking this opportunity to share my
experience to warn all of you that although
you hear many success stories due to meeting people online, there are also many stories of situations going dreadfully wrong.
Take my word for it when I say this cliché
line: "it can happen to you."
As I browsed over the faces of many
others like myself that had been sucked
into this myspace craze I came across one
face that seemed to catch my eye. I clicked
on the picture and this lead me to his page
where I was able to read small blurbs about
his life, interests, and whatever else he felt
inclined to tell others via the Internet.
Wow! A cute surfer boy from San Diego
that shared many common interests! I
went ahead and sent him a message, not
knowing in the slightest what I had just
gotten myself into. I have never been the
type to even consider meeting anyone from
online, but the more I kept up conversation with this mysterious surfer boy, Jake*
('"indicates names have been changed),
slowly my thoughts began to change.
Our emails through our myspace
accounts lead to talking over the wonderful world of AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). As much as I hated to admit it
at first, there was a definite "spark" so to
speak between Jake and myself. The more
we talked, the more we realized that we
truly did enjoy each others company. Our
late night chats went on for days and eventually weeks, which only increased my
interest in meeting this guy that now knew
so much about me.
Some of my friends were concerned by
the fact that I had not even spoken to Jake
over the phone, this didn't seem all that
odd to me. I mean, the whole idea
of meeting people online was
new to me anyway! When Jake
told me that he wasn't a phone
person, I j ust went along with it
and we planned a weekend where
we would meet up in person.
Shortly a fter our plan to meet
was set, strange things started
to occur. It began with phone
calls to my work f rom a girl
that kept asking my co-workers when I was working next,
but she would never leave a
message or a name. I found
this odd seeing as though I
had never given out my work
number.
Then only a few days later
I began receiving calls to my
apartment phone. I was getting messages on my answering machine from a girl that
would
call and
repeat my name over and over. I was me that Sara and Jake had dated for years
slightly concerned about this, and knew (as I already knew) but the kicker was that
that these calls were not coming f rom they had never met! The two of them had
anyone I knew. I told Jake about the calls "online dated" for years, and had never

and came across another
guy that caught her interest.
This time it was Jake. Due
to the fact that Sara
was now friends
with Nikki, the
idea that
this new
guy
might be j ust another figment of Nikki's
imagination never even crossed Sara's
mind. Sara confided in Nikki about
her and Jake's online relationship. She
explained to me that as time went on, she
became more and more skeptical of Nikki,
and even confronted her a few times about
the possibility of her being Jake.
Nikki always denied this and Jake
always had a way of drawing Sara back to
him. Therefore, the relationship continued
.up until about four months ago when Jake
once again failed to meet up with Sara.
Sara then had an overwhelming gut feeling that Jake truly was Nikki, and that she
had done this to her again. She stopped
all conversations with Nikki and Jake for
her own sanity and decided she should see
a therapist.
Only recently, when Sara happened
to fall back in touch with Jake through
myspace did she begin to have second
thoughts about ridding him from her life.
When she saw that Jake had now been talking with a new girl through myspace, this
feeing myself, the idea that maybe Jake was
a real person was almost too much for her
to handle. Sara had assumed from conversations with Jake that he and I had met up.
It was then her goal to get a hold of me and
find out if it was true.
Being the self proclaimed "professional
detective" that she was, she tracked down
my phone number and told me she knew
my address as well. She said that was what
years of trying to find out if Jake existed
had done to her. She knew all the tricks.
A bit frightened by the whole situation,
I gave her as much information about Jake
and me as possible. I informed her of how
we had not even talked on the phone and
had planned on meeting up, but hadn't yet.
She thanked me for helping her get to the
bottom of things, and told me that she knew
for a fact at this point that indeed this was
Nikki posing as Jake once again. Apparently Nikki got her kicks out of living a
life through these boys of her imagination and preying on girls like us. Sick and
twisted, I know.
I immediately went to Jake and told him
that I would no longer be in contact with
him. I tried to cut the ties as calmly as
possible, but things did not go as planned,
Jake became incredibly upset that I trusted
his "crazy ex-girlfriend" over him. I told
him that if he wanted to clear things up
then all he needed to do was call me and
prove to me I was wrong. He refused to
call, therefore, f urther proving everything
was true in my mind.
I then blocked him online and a fter
doing so, my phone began to blow up with
text message a fter text message f rom his
AIM name. The text messages became
increasingly obscene, and wouldn't stop. I
realized I was going to have to change my
cell number in order to get rid of Jake once
and for all and this is exactly what I did.
A fter changing my cell number I also
went ahead and changed my apartment
number and made it unlisted as a f urther
precaution. The more I thought about the
situation, and the fact that I had been in
contact with a girl the entire time, the more
I almost felt like I had been brainwashed,
and somewhat violated.
Thinking back over some of the conversations we had, it made me sick....I need
not say more. Ironically, when I went on
myspace the following day Jake's page
was mysteriously gone. I guess I learned
the hard way that you certainly must be
more cautious than you think with people

CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATION
CORRECTIONS
Vol. XIII No.8
In the article "CSUSM farfromNCAA," by Patrick B. Long and edited by Elizabeth Baldwin, the IRA funds for the Athletic Department was incorrect. The annual IRA funds for
Athletics are $12,000 - $31,000. Also, the article suggests that the NAIA is a community college league, which it is not.
In the article, "The Pride responds to recent criticism," by Phoenix Lindgren, states, "President Haynes brought Steve Nichols to campus for the sole purpose of creating more
sports teams at CSUSM." This is incorrect; Steve Nichols has been at CSUSM since 1995.
CLARIFICATION
The opinions expressed by Phoenix Lindgren in the above mentioned article were proffered as rhetorical argumentation utilizing the trope of hyperbole; her opinions were not
meant to be interpreted literally.

Joan Allen plays Terry Wolfmeyer, a
neurotic, alcoholic, single mother to four
beautiful and independent daughters.
Terry is single because her husband disappears mysteriously one day> so of course
she assumes he left her and their family for
his secretary. She doesn't bother trying
to look for him or contact him, or if she
does, the movie never shows us. Everyone behaves as if this is perfectly normal
and they adjust pretty well to their new
life without dad. Even when he fails to
show up at important family events, like
the eldest daughter's graduation and wedding, the girls seem fine.
Terry quickly hooks up with her equally
alcoholic neighbor, Denny (Kevin Costner, in yet another baseball-themed role),
a washed-up, former baseball player
turned radio DJ, and together they help
each other heal from the tough breaks life
has given them.
Thç movie is semi-narrated by Popeye
(Evan Rachel Wood), the youngest daughter, through a film that she is making on
her computer. The audience is never told
why she's making the film or, for that
matter, why she's nicknamed Popeye.
These are just a few of many unanswered
questions in the movie.
The problem with "The Upside of
Anger" is that it doesn't know what kind
of a movie it wants to be and it tries too
hard to be both comedy and drama. The
acting is decent, particularly Joan Allen's
icy portrayal of the stunned matriarch, but
the only thing that resonates after you've
left thé theater are all the questions that
are left unanswered.

THE PRIDE
Propaganda
Zach and Elizabeth review rags for him and her
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
When asked to evaluate four of the top "men's magazines" I thought for a moment-maybe half--that they might be related to sports or getting rich. Instant
relief, then, when they all turned out to be about masturbation. Truly, what better companions for the guy who
can't afford the monetary
or emotional cost of the
nearest beach-flesh-fest?
We begin at the ' top'
with "Maxim" and, as usual,
a cover model most have
already seen on TV enough
to construct a fantasy f rom.
This type of skin-mag is perfect for people who don't want
to be caught with ' porn' yet
can't bring themselves to say
"the articles." The ads range
f rom cars to the stuffyou grimace
at in those weird European things
lounging in the 'barbershop.' As
for genuine variety, though,
this isn't for anyone
who still refuses
to believe that
good sex requires
an attention span.
The girls are all photographed with the
same lights arid the
articles are mostly lists.
Conclusion: Pick up, flip
through, flick off, next.
The next step in our
descent brings us to what
"Maxim" could never be,
even with real nudity. Of
course, I use the term ' real'
the way I use women: not
at all, hardly. Playboy
has received a lot of criticism lately for favoring
excesses of photo and
cosmetic manipulation.
Personally,* if she's
going to look like a j
cartoon she may as J
well be a cartoon,
but at least Playboy
still helps artists
replace rather than
chase their models.
Even without the i
imagination for j
icons,
there's
enough variation to pick a
favorite, thus
a more lasting
distraction.
As a bonus,
the respectable article
quality might even give you some kind
of fetish for communication.
Now "Penthouse" is supposed to be a dirtier type of
"Playboy," so this may be a good time for our modernminded female readers to switch f rom 'laugh at the
boys' to 'spit on the boys' mode. But alas, you'll all
be sigh and dry when you realize it's nearly identical, save for a certain barely subtle
emphasis on, well, vagina. Ironically enough, I'd swear that Penthouse actually has
fewer nude photos, if more nude advertisements, and j ust as many breaks for self-promotion.
I enjoyed "The People vs. Larry Flynt," I have only faint memories of skimming "Hustler," but it's all coming back now. This, my fellow Americans, is smutty stuff, essentially porno still shots. Whatever your opinion of that, you'll find hilariously depraved
cartoons and strikingly unreserved political critiques. To feminists who hate smut:
rejoice, for "Hustler" hates Bush too. That joke would be highbrow in these pages, but
f ar fewer ads and more genuine creativity seems like a more 'sophisticated' buy to me.
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Want to lower your self-esteem in 5.6 seconds? Just pick up one of these glossy
magazines at your local supermarket check-out counter.
First up is Cosmopolitan, (referred to as The Bible by Reese Witherspoon in "Legally
Blond") which actually should be illegal reading material. The April 2005
issue tackles such serious subjects
as "Sex Treats for Him" and "What
His Start-the-Day Ritual Reveals
about Him." Wow. I never knew that
my value as a woman in a relationship rests upon the knowledge that
men like to have their balls messaged
during, not after, fellatio.
Next on the list to improve your
worth to society is Glamour. The feature article about how to tell if you're
"Girl Hot" or "Guy Hot," which juxtaposes Nicole Kidman (girl hot) to
Angelina Jolie (guy hot) as the two
different types of women in the world.
Unfortunately I am
neither. Hmmm,
could I be an
alien? However,
Glamour is good
pick for the woman
that wants to save
some cash. Practically every other
page is an advertiseH ment with a coupon
H to cut out. Glamour
jm also features top name
H
designer
fashions
W (the clothes nobody
m can afford) along with
where to purchase the
knock-off.
The fashion magazine,
f Elle, is a bit better than
the previously mentioned
self-esteem
blockers.
There are no lame advice
columns that make you
feel like a moron. If beauitffcVRA tifid models are what you
v aBnR
want to look at, this is the
rag for you. Elle is an endless series of advertisements
with beautiful people.
Whoa, what's that?
'Small breasts are in this
season." Never mind,
Elle sucks too.
Hallelujah! God bless
Bitch. Bitch—the magazine defines itself as
the feminist response
to pop culture—is a
shining light at the
end of the magazine rack.
The
magazine focuses
on women's issues
that are interesting
and educational. No models, no
fashion statements, no make-up tips—just
articles
about women, for women. The winter 2005 issue answers
the neverasked-but-always-wondered question to the popular reality show,
"Survivor;" what do the women do when they have their period? Answer: tampons
are provided.
The article, "The Lack of Cultural Language about Women in Prison," reveals the
misrepresentation of women by the mass media.
Unlike the advertisements in Elle, Cosmopolitan and Glamour, Bitch magazine features advertisements about stuff I do care about: alternative menstrual products. Sea
Sponge tampons? Good for the environment and good for me.
I highly recommend Bitch as your reading choice. Unfortunately, it is only published quarterly, but well worth the wait.

Larkin said that the other parts of the
bill are personally disturbing, are a threat
to his livelihood as a college professor, and
would open up professors to frivolous lawsuits.
He said that the bill was designed to
make the public falsely believe, "that there
is a rampant problem of ideological indoctrination on American campuses and to
suggest that the problem isn't addressed
by existing legislation."

not take unfair advantage of a student's

Larkin said he felt there were problems

Professors team up for
Oaxacan medicine and
culture exhibit
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
California State University San Marcos
professors Bonnie Bade and Deborah
Small have combined their expertise in
order to create an exhibition focusing on
the medicinal concepts and practices of
indigenous Oaxacan communities living
in both California and Mexico.
The "Medicina Mixteca" collaboration will open on Sunday, April 10 at the
California Center for the Arts, Escondido.
From 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. guests will be
able to explore the exhibit, as well as enjoy
traditional music, dance and food from
local Oaxacans.
The band, "Xiuxla," and dance groups,
"Rubios" and "Danza de la Pluma" will
perform. Hands-on activities will be
provided by the Escondido Children's
Museum, and traditional Oaxacan food
will be served.

"Oaxacalifornians" is the term used
to describe the hundreds of thousands of
native people who have left their homes
in Mexico and migrated to California in
order to make a living. With the help of the
Coalition of Indigenous Oaxacan Communities and other groups, Bade and Small
were able to photograph and document the
connections between the communities in
California and Oaxaca.
"This has been a unique collaboration
between a visual artist and an anthropologist that has brought together art and

Morrow responded to criticisms of the bill by saying, "I can
amend the bill at any time," and
told the crowd to, "rest easy....
that (contested) language is going
to be gone."
Morrow said that criticisms of
SB 5 that maintain the bill will
require hateful or fringe ideological perspectives to be offered for
contrast were unfounded.
"No where in this bill do you
see that there is a requirement
to give equal time to any fringe,
whacko, off-the-wall fairy that
comes in," said Morrow
Morrow said that implementation of the bill would happen at
the university level and that the

faculty of the particular university.

Affairs Cheyenne Barr said she
was concerned that SB 5 would
force teachers to "teach the bad
things about racism and the good
things about racism.. .they would
be teaching biology and evolution
and direct to creationism."
Barr said that if SB 5 goes in to
effect the class it would be, "tearing apart the classroom."
Executive Director of the College Republicans Nick Bonomi
said that there weren't multiple
sides to every subject, and that
the bill wouldn't require the
type of pluralism critics claim.
Bonomi suggested ASI should
get involved and develop a procedure for students with grade/

"ASI could investigate to help

VARIETY
Tuesday, April 5, 2005
BY JULIE OXFORD
Pride Staff Writer
Photo by Joelle M. Frankel / The Pride
BY JOELLE M. FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
While my fellow students lie
asleep in their beds, before the
sun has risen, I meet up with
eight big, meaty guys and yell
at the top of my lungs, "Stroke!"
"Harder!" "Drive it in!" and
"That's right, long and strong!"
Don't be fooled by my naughty
language—it's my job—I'm a
coxswain.
For the past two years I have
been mastering the art of being a
coxswain (cox for short). I steer
the boat, correct rowing technique, provide motivation and
encouragement, and let my boat
know where we are with reference to other boats and the finish
line during races.
Since we don't have a rowing
program at Cal State San Marcos,
I cox for the San Diego Rowing
Club at Mission Bay. The program is very competitive; six
of the rowers in my boat were
Olympic Athletes, and we travel
all over the world racing against
other programs.
Most people associate rowing
with having very strong arms but
the majority of a rower's strength
comes from their legs. The seats
slide on a track with wheels, and
rowers use their powerful legs
and core strength to move the
boat.
Rowing is truly an orgasmic
sport.. .pun intended.
Nothing compares to being neck and
neck on the race course, amidst
the elements, staring down the
coxswain in the next lane over,
and motivating your rowers to fly
past the competition and win the
gold medal. After all, only first
place counts in rowing—there's
only one medal to be earned per
race—and boy does it feel good
to get it!
Saturday and Sunday, April 2-3
was the San Diego Crew Classic
at Mission Bay. Crew Classic is a
huge regatta (race) with competitors from all over the west coast.
The race course is 2000 meters
and the seven lane course is
marked by buoys of different
colors. Strong winds, usually
coming in from port side, make
this race both challenging and
exciting for coxswains, rowers,
and spectators alike. The course
can be particularly hairy at the
starting line, where coxswains
need to back their racing shells
into stake boats with very strong
cross winds making for a difficult
start.
This past weekend, I coxed
three different racing shells
down the course. All of our races
were very competitive but my
most exciting race took place on
Sunday at 9:20 a.m. This grand
finale provided some stiff competition. We were up against stacked
boats of Olympic athletes.
We were fighting for second
place all the way to the 1500
meter mark, when Marin made a
big moved for the finish and we
fell slightly behind. In the end,
we took third place, but we were
happy with our performance and
I steered a good course.
I would have gotten really wet
if we'd won first place! Come on
now; get your minds out of the
gutter. That's because, as tradition dictates, coxswains of first
place boats get thrown into the
water by their crew.
Seeing coxswains get thrown
into the water and watching races
is only a small part of the enjoyment that a regatta provides.
Going to regattas can also be a
great way to meet men. When
else can you watch burly athletes
walk around in spandex? And
girls, isn't it nice to be familiar
with your prize before you get it
home?
Any students interested in
checking out rowing or coxing
¡should visit the San Diego
Rowing Club Website at www.
sdrc-row.org. This sport has
changed my life and made me a
more dedicated person, student
and athlete. After all, everybody
loves a good cox!
The end of the semester is so
near you can taste it. But you are
still here, wading amongst the
numerous deadlines which keep
you awake at night. If you're
looking for a way to relieve some
stress, and maybe get your mind
to stop and focus for a minute, I
have one thing to say to you: go
climb a rock.
Five minutes away from this
campus, at 992 Rancheros Dr., is
a place called Solid Rock Gym.
It is an indoor rock climbing
gym, one of three in San Diego.
It is the place to go if you want
to quiet your mind and reengage
your body.
When you are balanced on
two footholds and holding on
with all your strength to two
handholds, trying not to fall off
the side of a wall, it is hard to
think about that paper that is
due next week that you haven't
started writing yet. And when
you begin to feel the burn in
muscles you didn't even know
you had you almost forget that
you have to go to class in two
hours. And most importantly,
when you finally master the
incline on the traverse you've
been climbing for weeks you
realize that there is nothing you
can't do and that research paper
no longer seems so daunting.
There are two types of rock
climbing: ascent climbing
(which includes top-roping and
lead climbing) and bouldering.
Ascent climbing is climbing
vertically and requires a harness, anchors and a belayer (a
partner to take up slack on the
rope as you climb upward).
Bouldering is climbing close
to the ground; either on short
vertical routes or longer horizontal traverses. The appeal of
bouldering is that all you need is
climbing shoes and a chalk bag.
There are no harnesses, ropes or
anchors involved.
Every Wednesday, with a
valid college id, you can climb
for $10 if you have your own

equipment and for $12 if you
need to rent it. Thefirsttime you
go the staff offers a free introductory lesson. Don't be embarrassed to ask lots of questions.
The employees are very knowledgeable and very nice.
I recommend that the first
time you go you rent only shoes
and a chalk bag and get the free
lesson on bouldering. Start with
the bouldering, it is the essence
of climbing—just you and
the rock. It is the best way to
improve your balance, strength
and flexibility.
Plan on buying your own shoes
soon after you start because you
are going to want to start climbing a lot and you'll want shoes
that fit well. Good shoes can
cost anywhere from $50-$150
dollars and they are well worth
the money.
The gym is a great place to
learn and a great place to train
in the off season. But soon you
will want to go outside and
climb real rocks. Lucky for you
it's climbing season and Joshua
Tree is only two hours away.
There are also plenty of great
climbing spots in and around
San Diego County. Ask the
employees at Solid Rock about
where to climb or go pick up a
book at REI, Adventure 16 or
Nomad Ventures.
But whether you become an
avid climber or a once in a while
adventurer I promise it will help
to relieve some stress and give
you a new perspective of just
what you are capable of.

Over 400 women raped and
murdered, 1,000 missing, and the
numbers continue to rise in the
northern Mexican province of
Chihuahua. The atrocities were
vividly outlined in a packed room
at the Clarke Fieldhouse, on the
evening of Tuesday, March 22.
Entitled "The Disappeared,"
the event, part of Women's History Month at CSUSM, was a
chilling realization to those who
had yet to hear about the events
in Mexico and a forum for those
actively working to change the
situation.
Following a brief introduction
by CSUSM sophomore Nancy
Martinez-Molano, the audience
heard the first-hand account of
Patricia Cervantes, whose daughter, Neyra Cervantes, has become
a victim. After leaving for work
one day, 20-year-old Neyra Cervantes never returned home and
after investigation by local police
in Chihuahua City, she was found
raped and murdered. The cousin
of Neyra Cervantes, David Argueta, was quickly arrested and
tortured into confessing to the
crime.
Patricia Cervantes is now traveling California in hopes of gaining support and putting political
pressure on the Mexican government to release her nephew for a
crime she says he didn't commit.
Translated into English as she
spoke, Patricia Cervantes noted
that by speaking out the Mexican
government "is beginning to do
its job."
Many families in Mexico share
similar stories. Mexican authorities have been slow to admit to
the situation. Activists and families who speak out oftenfindtheir
lives in danger. Much of the blame
for the murders has been laid at
the feet of the police in northern
Mexico who if not involved in the
murders themselves have been at
least uncooperative infindingthe
real killers.
Drug runners have also been
fingered out, and reportedly celebrate successful border runs by
kidnapping raping, and then brutally beating and executing young
women, leaving their bodies in
the desert. Serial killers from
the United States have also been
linked to the crimes, apparently
noting the ease with which they
can murder in Mexico.
The situation has grown
steadily worse since 1993, when
prompted by new trade agreements under NAFTA, thousands
of migrant workers began immigrating north towards the Mexican border, creating an environ-
ment of poor migrant women
that have become easy targets for
assailants.
Much of the controversy has
been centered on Ciudad Juarez
in Chihuahua, where many of the
murders have occurred. Situated
directly across from the Texas
town of El Paseo, only the muddy
waters of the Rio Grande separate the murders from U.S. soil.
The over two-hour long event
was closed by Sandra Bello,
a young photographer from
Tijuana who added a strong
visual to the presentation. Bello,
who is attempting to bring attention to the situation, has launched
a campaign using t-shirts. Sporting a black cross and fist, the
shirt design was inspired by a
similar cross-painted on a northern Mexican lamppost in protest
and remembrance. We're turning
"t-shirts intoflags,"said Bello as
she showed pictures of a diverse
group of people wearing the
shirts. Like Patricia Cervantes,
Bello has been traveling both in
the U.S. and Mexico on a mission
to bring awareness and change.
The feeling in the room went
beyond sadness to one of action
and urgency.- It was "just overpowering," said CSUSM student
Margaret O'Connell, "the ¡story
Patricia [Cervantes] told made
me want to get involved"

�OPINION
T HE PRIDE
By JASÓNf NKHQLS
Pride Ombudsman
This one's
not funny.
This
is
an apology.
This is my
penance»
An apology to Athletics Director Steve Nichols.
(Nice guy, in great shape,)
An apology to you, the Readers. : ;;
, V ^ . : • ' ^ •'
I'm sorry.
I failed to do my job I compromised my principles, my
integrity, and my loyalty to you.
You've seen the recent hubbub concerning the Athletics
fee. Athletics Director Steve Nichols (Dr. Nichols) joined me in
challenging the article Phoenix
wrote about the "Pride denied
ballot access." Phoenix felt the
need td defend her article, and
wrote an editorial in response.
Patrick B. Long wrote "CSUSM
farfromNCAA" Both appeared
in the Corrections and Clarification of the last paper. (Just
before you went off to party
hearty M arty^i-.
' The editorial made comments
about Athletics Director Nich-
ols that have been defended by
this paper as ^proffered as rhetorical argumentation utilizing
the trope of hyperbole." The
'news5 article "CSUSM far from
NCAA" had some corrections
on its 'facts/
And that was the extent of
wrongdoing admitted by this
paper.
What a crock of S@#%!
This paper was turned into a
means of settling scores.
The Athletics fee made it
on the ballot, but the Pride fee
didn't.
So, our Editors-in-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan
wanted to be heard and tasked
Phoenix with writing a 'news'
article where the two Editors-inchief were interviewed, and by
answering the questions posed,
were able to take issue with the
'"Pride denied ballot access" and
the article ended by taking stabs
at the Athletics fee.
Things didn't end there.
After Athletics Director Nichols sent in his Letter to the Editor
taking issue with the article, and
I joined him in the attack, we got
a one-two punch of Phoenix's
editorial in response and Patrick's "news' article in the next
publication of the Pride,
- T hetnto.
I was asked to write the article Patrick wrote. The weekend
before that issue of the Pride
was published, I contacted the
Pride office to inform them my
Ombudsman column was on its
way,
I spoke with Elizabeth Baldwin and in that discussion I
suggested a means to rebut the
comments made by Athletics
Director Nichols.
I suggested that we make an
apology for the errors pointed
out by Dr. Nichols* Letter to
the Editor, but we should list
the numbers. I was convinced
that if the Readers knew the
numbers involved, we wouldn't
approve the fee.
Fd like to say that Ijust wanted
the Readers to be informed, but
that'd be a lie.
I didn't approve of the fee, I
still don't. But, I should never
have gotten involved beyond my

to use the Pride as a means to
settle an agenda. I was wrong.
For that, I am very sorry.
When Tuesday came round
that week, I grabbed my copy
of the Pride. On the front was
Patrick's "CSUSM far from
NCAA" I knew that Patrick
took the job I declined, I knew
that article came from my discussion with Elizabeth. I don't
fault Patrick.
He's always
struck me as a decent guy. I
don't believe he knew the whole
story.
As for our Editors-in-chief
and Phoenix:
Wednesday night I got an
email from Dr, Nichols.
He wrote some nice things
about me, but 111 get to his
point, "In her article, Phoenix made some very damaging
allegations of a personal nature
against me." Then, he used the
word ^libelous."
Dr. Nichols hoped to set up
a meeting with the Editors
and myself. The meeting took
place between Editors-in-chief
Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael
Dolan, and Pride Advisor Jenifer Woodring. I met with Dr.
Nichols later that week.
I had hoped and still do, that
Michael Dolan, and especially
Elizabeth Baldwin would do
what I'm doing now.
To admit fault To apologize.
To tell the whole story to you,
the Readers.
That's really all Dr. Nichols
wanted
I especially hoped Elizabeth
would come forward. She's
been the Editor-in-chief in
charge for all three of the articles attacking the Athletics fee
and Dr. Nichols. But, that word
'libelous" has been the means to
justify doing the bare minimum
for fear of legal action, in the
guise of Corrections
Clarification. A clarification that was
anything but clear.
Pride is not the name I'd give
this paper at this point
And now, I'll do what others
are unwilling. I submit myself
to your judgment.
If you, the Readers tell me to
"step down," I will.

�Dear Pride,
I was pleased to see so
many students at the
academic freedom forum.
This was a forum that was
heated, civil, and at times
out of hand, but continued
to show how polarized our
country and campus is.
Even though I am a
liberal, even though I'm a
feminist, and even though
I 'm a hardeòre believer in
progressive issues, I am
comfortable saying that
you conservatives have
a point when it comes to
"academic bias." There is
a load of professors at this
and many universities that
are left of the spectrum.
They have their own
views as it relates to their
disciplines. My fellow
professors in my major
have very strong points
of views on women's
rights and to some it may
appear to be "bias." What
we argue is that some
disciplines can not be
taught any other way.
SB5 wants to create an
environment for learning
that is "fair and balanced."
I don't have a problem with
that, as long as "fairness
and balanced" is not like
Fox news. In fact, the
more views a class has, the
better the debate it creates.
This forces students
to think critically and
become greater learners.
I personally am horrible
articulating a view I do
not hold; thus, when there
is an alternative voice, it
creates a constructive level
of dissent to help students
really think about the
concepts we learn within
our disciplines.
We like to throw around
the meaning word bias as
means of defining a class
that is one sided. But bias
means "to influence in a
particular, typically in an
unfair direction." I believe
that most, if not all teachers
are not "bias" but they
teach subject in a one sided
way.
The problem I have
with SB5 is that it only
affects liberal majors. It
is a direct attack on one
of the last institutions that
hasn't been indoctrinated
by conservatives. I am
no more biased than my
friend Nick Bonomi.
As Cheyenne Barr so
eloquently put it "we
just see things though a
different lenses." But
for the conservatives to
charge that there is no
academic bias, as they
define it, in the economics
department or the college
of business is outrageous.
I believe economics is
taught in a very one sided
way. To make women's
studies or sociology
"fair and balanced" on
the terms Mr. Morrow
would like, is equivalent
to economics teachers
teaching communism
along with capitalism. We
must show "all views." It
was stated in the debate
that economics has no
biases, "its just math." I
personally would advocate
changing the class
name from Econ 201 to
Capitalism 101 to reflect its
real teachings.
I also heard complaints
from students that say if
they spoke out in class they
would be marked down
and failed. The first thing
I would say is that there
already is a system for that.
By the end of the debate
I got the feeling that you
conservatives had a bigger
problem than disagreement.
In the debate you all used
tactics of intimidation and
disrespect towards the
speakers who do not agree
with you all. I have seen
that also used by some
conservative students who
"speak out in class." Who
are you to say the teacher
is being an "indoctrinator"?
As far as I'm concerned,
if you are disagreeing in
a respectful manner and
encouraging debate on
the basis of an issue that
is one thing. However,
if you make derogatory
comments, use tactics of
intimidation, march off
and slam the door, throw
fits in class as a means of
arguments and even make
treats toward teachers...
Well let me just say that's
"immature" and it won't
get you far in life. So,
if you all want to pass
legislation that goes after
majors who are liberal, you
must apply the same to
conservative majors. Then
you can go on and fairly
preach your doctrine of
"fair and balance."

THE PRIDE
King Lear" bigger, longer and uncut
Just the way sissies and snobs prefer # # # © $
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Shakespeare is for snobs and sissies and people
who read books.
Alas, there's no escaping the modern conundrum-as modern now as it was a hundred and a thousand
years ago-that elevated speech often makes for an
alienated listener.
For better or worse, by any theater, "King Lear"
is not the play to change the mass's consensus that
the greatest plays of the English language would be
a lot better if performed English.
Known across many other languages as one of
the most enduring of the Bard's (what the aforementioned people will call him) works, it is also
acknowledged as one of the most difficult, to perform as well as preserve. Through much of the
nineteenth and some of the twentieth century the
play was altered to include less bawdiness and a happier ending. Presented in its original entirety by the
San Diego Repertory at Horton Plaza's Lyceum,
the most offensive and depressing aspects
can hardly be blamed on the author,
who was (we somehow need
scholars to confirm) 'quite
a character.'
From the onset the stage
is just under par for recreated nature... on a Disneyland ride. The use
of half a dozen large
sliding
doors—built
to resemble imposing castle gates—adds
a nice feudal tone, but
the external praises end
there. Attempting to
mix ancient and modern aesthetics, the costumes
range from convoluted to goofy, and the soundtrack
(excepting a scene guided along by a walk-on's live
flute) is slobbered out by a second rate elevator synthesizer. Casting is a tricky one to critique—as 'the
best with what you've got' is your more often than
not—but the first rate performers are just enough so
to show the second-raters for what they are.
Not that a grand TV-to-theater crossover can be
hoped for, ever, but if you enjoyed Quark on "Star
Trek: Deep Space Nine," Armin Shimerman plays
the oft- coveted role of 'fool,' and proves himself
a gifted actor, rather than another beset by drama
class nostalgia. Sam Woodhouse is very good, for
the part, and for a Shakespearean actor, particularly
if you wish to have your reservations kept. He'll be
as much a Lear as any Shakespeare-lover could ask
for in San Diego, but a big hammy Santa Claus to
factory farmed sitcom stock.
Even if you can't handle drama that doesn't come
from a toughish cop or a whorislf talk show host, try
reading "King Lear," then go and listen more closely
than you watch; let the imposingly better language become a symphony rather than a rain
of puzzle pieces; let eloquence be absorbed
rather than clutched at. If nothing else,
watch "Titus" with Anthony Hopkins to
see modernized Shakespeare done
right and well enough to earn
the Bard at least a second
1 chance.
"King Lear" plays
through April 17, with a
handy and necessary student discount. More
information is available
at sandiegorep.com.

BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Sin City is sleazy and cheesy and worth
every penny.
Try as mediocre actors and bad writers may, big-budget action will never have
the impact of hyper-style violence. Sure,
there's the classic prevalence of incredulously bad shots and durable bodies, but
the grit-gristle intimacy of glory-gore
makes this a film to be held for dear life
rather than imitated to death. Sure, like
too many comics, its lines are jerked by
melodrama—the fermented testosterone
bane of every muscle flick. Yet such complaints quickly become moot as macho fifties noir inner (and often outer) monologue
becomes as much an element of style as
bleeding fluorescent whiteout.
It's all about honoring the original art,
baby, and this is a real juicy piece of honor.
"Official Director" Robert Rodriguez
was kicked out of the guild for working
so closely with the creator, Frank Miller,
(then actually giving him credit for it), but
the end result is better than anything since
"Kill Bill." Small wonder Quentin Tarantino didn't turn down a spot as a "Guest
Director;" the more Hollywood realizes
the talent of comic creators the closer he'll
be to another job at a video store.
Not that a great look doesn't usually
enable mediocre performances, and not
that Frank Miller's cameo doesn't prove
most screen actors overrated, but a few
did give more than could have been had
by those with cheaper agents, or more love
for the series. It might be too disturbing
to see sweet little Gilmore girl Lorelai as
a prostitute, or too disappointing that she
does nothing dirtier than talk of what she's
seen. A nineteen-year-old Maxim stock
coming onto a sixty-ish Bruce Willis
would be silly, if its story context were not
already exaggerated to perfection. Basin
City's scantily, no, scandalously, no, fantnastily clad working women take care of
their own, hold up under mild torture, and
twist something metal into both outdated
and newfangled gender concepts. The
bare breast shots can be counted on one
hand, but are so lovingly sculpted into the
encompassing imagery that the other hand
can stay in your popcorn.
And if you think that analysis was
vulgar, if you can't even stand the thought
of blood in any shade: see it anyway. The
point of a violent movie is that it's a violent MOVIE, an artificial reality, a catharsis, an aesthetic exercise, not a means of
"Desperate Housewives"
spice up late night TV
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Image courtesy of ABC
Gone are the days of June Cleaver: the
housewife has been reinvented.
The new housewife is beautiful, sexy,
smart and desperate.
ABC's hit show "Desperate Housewives" is making everyone change the
way they think about housewives and
forcing people to rethink the meaning of
desperate.
The show tells the stories of the residents of Wisteria Lane. It uses drama,
mystery, and comedy to show the lives of
suburban housewives.
It is narrated from beyond by Mary
Alice (Brenda Strong) who committed
desensitization. To clarify: see this movie, City gives you two hours entirely of what
if you're 18, as this one earns its R rather we're used to seeing for only one total, and
than extorting its PG-13. Just the same, it gleeful shock can be hard on a tightening
might be best not to eat before hand.. .Sin bladder.
suicide in the premier episode. Mary
Alice's death is a mystery that still hasn't
been solved, but her narration provides a
unique perspective into the lives of her
friends and neighbors.
All the characters on the show are desperate for different reasons and that's what
makes them so relatable.
Susan (Teri Hatcher), Lynette (Felicity
Huffman), Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) and
Bree (Marcia Cross) are the friends Mary
Alice left behind. Each week they find
themselves in extreme situations and rely
on each other for help.
Edie (Nicolette Sheridan) is the neighbor that the other wom£n tolerate, but isn't
exactly part of their group. She likes to
stir up trouble and has no problem using
her sexuality to get what she wants. She is
the woman all women despise.
All of the women have men troubles.
Lynette's husband works too much. Gabrielle's husband is on house arrest. Bree's
husband is unfaithful. Edie has sex, not
relationships. Susan's boyfriend Mike
killed a man.
When the women aren't trying to fix
their men's problems and solve their own,
they're trying to figure out who murdered
Mrs. Huber and the mystery surrounding
Mary Alice's suicide.
A common theme runs throughout the
show and that's happiness. All of the
women are unhappy with some aspect of
their lives and trying to figure out what
went wrong. The characters all want happiness but so far haven't figured out how
to get it.
The cast of this show is beautiful. The
women are sexy and the men are hot. The
acting is excellent and the sets are appealing.
"Desperate Housewives" has been on a
mid-season break but is back now with six
new episodes in a row.
Desperate Housewives airs Sundays at
9:00 p.m. on channel 10.

Bowling Pin
BY FELIPE ZANARTU
For The Pride
Being exposed to the perspectives of a diverse
range of cultures is one of the stated goals of
CSUSM, and the International Fair offered students some of the things promised in our mission
statement.
Dancing, food, language, and poetry attracted
students to the largest event of the year put on by
the International Club and its sponsors the University Global Affairs Committee and Associated
Students Inc.
The 3rd annual International Fair was held on
Thursday April 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front
of University Hall. The fair had numerous tables
representing countries around the world. Everything from Brazilian martial arts to tango dancing
to international cuisine occupied the nearly 300
people who attended the event.
Following a fashion show featuring garments
from orient, the group Abada-Capoiera preformed
w on t he c om-
Guy trophy
petition with a
recycling rate of 43.65 percent.
^Recycling rate is determined by
calculating the percentage of
recycled materials in relation to
trash by weight. "California State_
University San Marcos consistently posted a 40+ percent recycling rate to dominate in the new
Recycling Rate contest," reads
the Recyclemania website.
Second place in the recycling
rate category is held by Tufts
University which trailed the Cougars by 2.26 percent.
According to Recyclemania
our closest competition, "Tufts
University closed the gap with
Cal State San Marcos to less
than three percentage points, but
never wound up getting closer
than that."
For winning the contest
CSUSM will receive the "Bowling Pin Guy" trophy and a halfpage advertisement in all of the
other competing schools' newspapers announcing our achievement.
The materials CSUSM recycled during the contest in addition to the other participating
schools totaled to over 10.4 million pounds. According to Recyclemania this amount of recyclables is equivalent to, "Removing
3,484 passenger cars from the
road for one year, 132 acres of
forest preserved from deforestation and the annual emissions
from the power consumption of
2,066 households"
"We are excited and so proud
of the campus for their effort,"
said Green Team Member Mui

dance in action before being
invited to try it on the dance
floor.
Jewish dance from Israel was
then presented. The dance was
easy to learn and most of the
crowd was able to participate.
The dancing filled peoples faces
with smiles and laughter.
Students from the Latino
Club and MEChA danced to
Mexican folk music or salsa and
meringue.
"This event housed spectacular
dances which give a chance for
us to observe different cultures,
their customs, and spirit," said
Italian student Roxana Righetti,
"this gives students here at Cal
State San Marcos, a chance to
see our diverse cultures around
campus."
There was a wide variety of
international cuisine available at
the event. Food included nachos
and agua fresca from Mexico,
to Japanese tea and traditional
salads from the east. The most

popular food at the fair was
from the German club. Students
lined up around the fair for the
traditional bratwurst sausages
which the club served.
"The International Fair gives
us great exposure and helps
generate interest to not only our
club but the global community,"
said German Club President
TigheJaffe.
Along
with
dance and
food, there were global poetry
performances on stage. Poems

offered blessings of hope,

and expressed messages about

Most students thought the fair
was both fun and educational.
Some students cited the university
mission statement that talks about
diversity.
Student Cinthia Tirado said that
she liked the fact that this campus
displayed different cultures on
our campus.
"When the campus talks about
diversity in the mission statement
this definably helps us appreciate
it," said Tirado.
A student at the model United
Nation's (UN) booth offered her
perspective of the event.
"We like to contribute to the
international vibe on campus and
open students up to new ideas
about the United Nations," said
political science major Jennifer
Runge at the UN booth.
One student gave her opinion
as to why multicultural events on
campus such as the International
Fair are important.
"It helps us to understand different cultures from different
countries. I think it's important to know more about what's
out there. Especially in the U.S.
where many people don't know
much about other countries," said
student Jana Somolova.
The organizers of the event
were more than pleased by the
participation in this years fair.
"It went really, really good!
We hope to provide and
encourage students around the
campus to learn, share, and
celebrate different cultures,"
said International Club President
Emily Ng.
The International Club meets
Tuesdays 1:00-2:30 in The

�Guarantee registration, take
your CCR today
BY JOELLE M. FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
With the stress of finals and
fall 2005 registration quickly
approaching, stress levels can
reach an all time high for many
students at CSUSM. In the midst
of this end of the semester chaos,
don't forget about the Computer Competency Requirement
(CCR).
The CCR is a mandatory test
for all baccalaureate students at
CSUSM regardless of their major
that must be completed within
two semesters of attending the
university.
According to the Instructional and Information Technology Services website, "After the
end of the second semester, registering for any further classes
at Cal State San Marcos will be
restricted until the CCR is fulfilled." So, if you've been here
two semesters and you haven't
taken the test yet...get to it.
What is the purpose of the
CCR? Mary Atkins, CCR coordinator said, "The CCR was mandated by the faculty senate in an
attempt to bring everybody who
is a student here up to the same
level of computer skills, so that
when they walked into the classroom, the faculty would know
that this set of students had these
particular skills."
The CCR covers five main
areas: computer concepts and
terminology, soft-ware ethics
and virus protection and prevention, Internet browsers and email,
basic word processing, and basic
spreadsheet concepts.
Students are required to take
and pass all five sections with a
grade of " C" or better in order to
fulfill the requirement. Students
who don't pass a certain section
of the test only need to retake

�VARIETY
THE PRIDE
Off the beaten path
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
"So what are you going to do
now?" This is the question that
every graduate dreads as family
and friends offer their congratulations. The most obvious answer,
of course, is to get a job and start
paying back those student loans,
but there are other options.
"Delaying the Real, World:
A Twentysomething's Guide to
Seeking Adventure," is a book
written by Colleen Kinder that
encourages new graduates to take
a year off and go out and accomplish something other than going
to work. Her mission is to get
young people to realize that there
is a small window of opportunity
for them to follow their passions
before they get tied down with a
career or a family.
Sometimes this generation of
"Twixters" is criticized for not
wanting to grow up and take on
responsibility, but traveling to
another country and getting a
job can be a life-changing experience. In fact, there is even a
fellowship offer for $2,500 from
www.delayingtherealworld.com
for someone who proposes a
unique and worthwhile adventure.
The fellowship might be a
longshot, but it is worthwhile
to pursue the idea of adventure.
There are many organizations
that are able to make arrangements for you to work in another
country (see box). They arrange
for the job, obtain the work permits, provide insurance, book a
place to stay and provide practical advice. Many of these jobs are
to teach English, and all you need
is your Bachelor's degree and a
TEFL Certificate, which takes
about a month to earn.
There are many advantages to
teaching or working in a foreign
country. You will get to experience a country by totally immersing yourself in the language and
the culture. You will have time to
really see something* other than
the usual tourist traps, and will
gain confidence in yourself by
facing unique situations.
Upon your return to the USA,
you will be able to list an awesome experience on your resume
and show your potential employer
that you have the capability to
handle any challenges that may
come your way.
You do not have to go through
an agency to line up one of these
jobs, but your parents might feel
a little more comfortable about
, your adventure. Many potential
adventurers make all the arrangements on their own and get information from people who have
posted on message boards.

said that 60 percent of ocean pollution stems from urban runoff,
and only 6 percent of America's coastline is" monitored by
the Environmental Protection
Agency for water quality.
Sekich said everyone in the
community contributes to urban
runoff so it's up to each individual to contribute to the clean
up effort, whether it be through
education, beach clean ups, or
awareness.
"For me, Earth Day is every

brings awareness to cigarette
filter pollution, and monitors
water conditions with their Blue
Water Task Force. They also

Are we supposed to recycle?"
Lopez asked after the video. Of
course, Sekich answered, and for

Free pizza and hot wings lured
students to a Surfrider celebration
for Earth Day yesterday put on by
the ASI Programming Board.
"For April, Earth Day was
the only important holiday I felt
needed to be addressed," said
Tera Ulbert, Director of Educational Programming for ASI; she
organized the event.
Stefanie Sekich, Chapter Coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation, showed a video called
"Keepers of Coast," which illustrated pollution concerns for San
Diego and the world.
The video showed surfers
dropping into gorgeous waves
and clean water, contrasted by
images of Imperial Beach in
San Diego County where plastic
debris and other byproducts of
urban runoff cover the sand at a
disgusting rate.
The video stated some important facts about the ocean environment: 50 percent of the U.S.
population lives within an hour
to the coast; these cities are built
in areas of the water cycle where
fallen rain collects oil, settled air
pollution, pesticides, fertilizers,
and other pollutants like cigarette
butts.

�Give your professors
their glows and grows
BY JOELLE M. FRANKEL &
JENNIFER IANNI
Pride Staff Writers
Students are also given a chance to write
a general comment about the professor
and the course itself. For some students,
consulting RateMyProfessors.com is a
vital step in the process of registering for
classes. Kellie Klopf, a third year business major, said that she used the website
before registering for her classes. "It's
been really good," she said. "Actually, I
picked all of my teachers for this semester,
and I'm pretty satisfied with my choices."
"I think it's really good to have a peer
assessment from people who've had the
instructors previously," said Cindy Roper,
a senior liberal studies major. "I especially think it's a good idea if students use
it responsibly." Although Roper has never
posted a review on a professor before, she
plans to this semester. "I have a teacher
that I don't feel is very qualified this year
and I think that if others can benefit from
that knowledge, I would like to tell them
about it," she said. Students from all over
the nation have been inspired, just like
Roper to tell of both their joys and their
grievances. "From students, the response
is almost universally positive; from professors, it is more mixed," said Swapceinski.
So do the professors at CSUSM actually
look at their own postings? "Oh, I'm sure
they do. If I was on a website like that I'd
wanna see what people thought about me,"
said Ashley Dunn, a freshman biochemistry major. "I don't think they do, and I
don't think they should. I think it's for students only," said Klopf.
One professor admitted to looking at
her own posting and to those of her col-
Hardworking, ambitious, eager-to-learn
student seeks Trigonometry teacher who
is knowledgeable, grades fairly, explains
coursework clearly—andby the way, being
hot is a must. Ever wish it was this easy
to select the perfect professor? RateMyProfessors.com may be the answer you've
been looking for.
With over 530,000 professors rated by
former students (393 from CSUSM), students are able to get the insider scoop on
their professors for free. Information is
easily accessible with regards to which
professors are student favorites, which are
easy graders and which ones you might
actually learn something from. These
features make RateMyProfessors.com a
handy tool when selecting future courses.
John Swapceinski, the president and
founder of the website, explained his
inspiration for RateMyProfessors.com. "I
was attending San Jose State University in
Î999 and had the misfortune to take a class
with a particularly dastardly professor.
She was an unfair grader and downright
nasty to her students, so I decided to start
RateMyProfessors.com to warn the world
about her and other professors like her."
Seven years, and many other disgruntled
students later, Swapceinski's dream, has
most definitely been realized.
The website rates professor performance
in five categories: average easiness, helpfulness, clarity, hotness, and total quality.

leagues. "I think it's always interesting
to find out what students think about how
we're doing and it's really important to
us... I'm always interested in getting more
specific information about what the class
is like for them," said Martha StoddardHolmes, a professor in the literature and
writing department.
Not everyone agrees that RateMyProfessors.com is a reliable tool. "It's not the sort
of thing that I place a lot of confidence in,
or that I would trust, or that I would allow
to influence any professional decisions or
activities with my colleagues and faculty,"
said Michael McDuffie, Associate Dean of
the College of Arts and Sciences. "I want
to make it very clear that I have a very low
opinion of this website."
When asked if professors should be
concerned about a website such as this,
McDuffie said, "To the extent that the
website presents opinions and information about their professional activity, Their
reputation as scholars, as teachers and as
people, then, yes, I think they have reasons
to be concerned about the website, just as
they might be concerned about any potentially slanderous or libelous publication
that would involve them. There's basically
no due process attached to the website."
Students don't just use this as a way to
criticize their professors. Teachers might
be pleased to find out that "over 65% of
the ratings are positive," according to the
website.
The people behind RateMyProfessors.
com maintain that the views expressed
on the website are purely the thoughts
and experiences of student contributors.
They acknowledge on their website that
although the ratings are not statistically
valid, "They [the ratings] are a listing of
opinions and should be judged as such.
However we often receive emails stating
that the ratings are uncannily accurate,
especially for schools with over 1000 ratings."
Bottom line: RateMyProfessors.com's
only obligation is to the students. "Where
else can you find out what others think of
an instructor? When you have the option
of choosing a teacher, wouldn't you really
like some information? It also gives you,
the user, a place to voice your opinion. It
gives you a place to make a difference in
your education," the website stated.
In the past, there have been attempts
to sue or shut down the website; however, it is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. "I get contacted
by professors every day, and I get threatened with legal action by them on pretty
much a weekly basis," Swapceinski said.
If teachers don't like what they read, RateMyProfessors.com advises them to change
their perspective. "Think of this site as an
opportunity to hear what your students
normally keep secret from you."
One of the more lighthearted aspects of
the website is the hotness of the professor,
which is indicated by a chili pepper next to
the professor's name. While not taken as a
serious consideration when choosing a professor, most students find it to be an amusing aspect of the site. "I think that's kind
of over-the-top.. .it's fun," said Roper.
Professor Stoddard-Holmes saw the
humor in the hotness ranking and stated,
"I'm always intrigued by the chili peppers.
It's f un to see who got them. To try and
figure out what they're there for. In some
cases, it seems pretty obvious, but in other
situations it seems like it's not necessarily about youth and beauty, but it's about
power and charisma."
While controversial to some, RateMyProfessors.com is popular with students.
This website provides an open forum for
students to voice their opinions to other
students and to the faculty. With registration for Fall 2005 quickly approaching,
RateMyProfessors.com might be the tool
that you've been searching for. Have a hot
semester!

For The Pride
First off; I need to give some
props to the paper for its front
page, the breaking news from
last week: CSUSM RANKED
AMONG THE BEST IN RECYCLING.
Hot Damn.
I mean, best in recycling; I'm
still trying to catch my breath
from this hard-hitting bulletin. Maybe, it's just me, but is
recycling that big of a deal that
we need to proclaim it to the
world?
I know when I picked up the
paper and read the headlines I
almost fainted. And I also loved
the fact that things CSUSM students would actually care about,
like the article of getting a job
a ffii graduation, gets a second
seat to the breaking recycling
news. I mean come on, is recy-
cling bigger than what we are all
here for, to better our education
and eventually get a job?
We are out here busting our
Asses trying to get good grades,
get a good education, and get a
degree, If recycling is-so damn
important that we need to back
page actual news that some students could learn from and use
to better their job acquiring
chances, then our priorities are
seriously down the drain.
Between the recycling and
the repetitive news about eating
disorders, I neariy put the paper
down and just walked away.
However I trudged on and kept
reading, and then I came to the
second page of the variety page,
and found Concert Etiquette.
I would expect to see Opera
Etiquette or Church Etiquette,
but aren't concerts the things
you go to where everyone is
f
just wfld and doesn't s eemto
give a rat's ass about what they
are doing for a brief couple of
hours?
Somebody needs to get back
to me on that one. Especially
if wearing deodorant and not
getting killed in the mosh pit
{which can easily be avoided if
you stand back) are on your priority list, I suggest just not going
to concerts, it will save you a lot
of "pouting time*' and money.
The paper is just filled with
advertisements, even though
Brian is doing an awesome job
selling the ads, it seems that the
paper quality still needs to grow,
because it doesn't matter how
many ads we sell or how many
coupons the reader can cut out
to get free tans, the articles still
need to improve. Including my
On the note of my own two
articles on Motorcycling and
Cultural Absorption (which the
title was misprinted, way to go
guys) I'll let you guys make
your own judgments.
And for the Zach's article,
which had a bitter, bitter tone,
I think that it's great that he is
voicing his opinion on "jocks"
and "dykes," but I think I could
have found a few choice words
to leave out.
And for the Arts and Entertainment section, I'll give props
to both Chris and Matt for getting the word out that "Meet the
Barkers" and the new 50 Cent
album both equal up to shit.
I mean come on, everyone
knows that 50 Cent has just
totally gotten too hyped up in
himself and we all saw this
coming after his first album
could stay in your CD play for
no more than ten minutes.
If TV and radio got any worse
I would imagine there would
be many more cults and mass
suicide groups for me to join.
I'm still counting down the
days until someone finally goes
berserk because they've seen
one too many celebrity reality
shows and goes on a shooting
rampage.
There were good things about
the paper, like the layout and
Jason really deserves credit for
it. The back page was awesome,
as a matter of fact the whole
arts and entertainment part had
ridiculously good layout
And a quick congrats to Derek
Heid, who did the Ombudsman
last week, for stepping up to the
plate, balls out and writing a
good critique.
Despite all the bitching about
sports and the constant battles,
the paper is improving and
I don't want to sound like a
broken record, constantly bitching about the paper. So with that
note, I'm going to go sit back,
relax, and bid you farewell.
Want to tell me to go to hell?

Environmental Awareness Event as printed in the "4-1-1 even brings students information about the environment" article.
What is bugging youP
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
Most of the time I am a
fairly contented person cruising through life and running
my errands as expeditiously
as possible. Sometimes
though, I get to thinking a
little too much about the way
stores set up their "friendly"
policies.
Now I love to get my fix
of Starbucks at one of the
stores conveniently located
at approximately half-mile
increments from my job to
school, but one thing drives
me nuts. Why do they even
bother to ask your name and
misspell it on a cup when
they insist on shouting out
"non-fat-grande-latte-sugarfree-vanilla-extra-hot-extrafoam" when you are the only
one standing at the pickup counter? Wouldn't it be
really simple to just say your
name?
Blockbuster is even worse.
After they have checked out
your DVD's and you have
paid, they yell out your
selections loud enough
for everyone else to hear.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I just
chose those titles a few
moments before and I'm
pretty sure I haven't forgotten what I just picked out.
Is it some sort of insidious
plot to point out what a loser
you are on a Friday night by
yourself in a video store?
I guess I must be a grump,
because I think overfriendly
service in a store is annoying. For example, when I
walk into Millers Outpost,
they yell across the storefront, "Hi, how are you
doing today". Well, I might
be doing just fine, but I sure
don't feel like yelling back to
them. And, what if I am not
doing okay, am I supposed
to yell that back to them? I
would much rather be able to
find someone easily when I
need help, but somehow they
seem to mysteriously disappear.
On a different note, I don't
know if you have noticed,
but someone has kidnapped
all of the people who do
radio and TV voiceovers and
replaced them with one man
and one woman. You know
the voices. You hear them on
the Carl's Jr. commercial and
on car commercials. They
speak in a monotonous nasal
voice, trying to sound as disinterested and banal as possible.
The first time you hear
their voices it is different
and it catches your attention, but now advertisers use
their voices in about every
other commercial. In fact
the guy voice even took over
an entire radio station. Star
100.7 used to have a variety
of DJ's, but now this one guy
drones on about being "Jack"
and how they don't care if we
don't like what they play.
Well, I am glad "I don't
know Jack," because he
really bugs me. What is bugging you?

Phil Collin's
"Against All
Odds." With so
much going on in
everyone's lives, that passing glimpse of love gets smaller ^
and smaller, and as we interpret
the looks of fellow people around campus, and the
world, it seems that judgment is determined by their persona, or "style." Looking a certain way is hot, or in. But j
if we only get a glimpse of true love, is that love incorpoPhoto illustration by
rated into our thoughts? When we love is it due to the fact
Jason Ëncabo / The Pride
that we are told to or because we need to?
Is love a necessity?
In short, yes.
This love we experience is passing by and if we don't grab hold, the rapids of life
will send us on tragic lonely ride. Sam Beam of Iron and Wine said, "Love to say this
to your face, I'll Love you only" in his CD "Our Endless Numbered Days." Describing
the opportunity that we throw away everyday. That contact we make with someone and
never truly express ourselves is an invitation left unopened.
But why is it that with passing love and the occurrence of boyfriends and girlfriends
into our lives, it fills such a deep and passionate void? Is it that once our other half is
found we suddenly awaken from a primordial slumber and feel true feelings for the first
time Is college the last chance to find someone that feels the same way? How many
times has love struck you and you felt as if nothing could possibly go wrong? Were all
these times just a dream until we find our better halves?
Love leaves us in many predicaments; it can promote unrecognizable joy and turn
around and hit us with unrelenting pain. There are so many questions out there unanswered and it seems that life and love coincide in a strange unending quest for happiness. Ending with our demise some search for comfort in the love from others, while
others give up the fight and eventually find love in a bottle.
Whatever type of love you wish to find, the way to reach true attainment takes a
coerce sense of judgment that forces us to put forth the things we love and live life without them.
Taking on a challenge that cannot be burdened on any one person. It seems that love
is something merely attained in some other dimension and that when we are so lucky to
find love here it slips from our grasp in a universal second. Our lives are a blink in the
eye of the universe, and that love is deemed nonexistent.
Is this primitive state of consciousness forming around us making us realize what
we are doing wrong? For all I know the person that I could have found love within has
already walked in and out of my life, and for a few moments of jittery eye contact we
knew what was happening subconsciously. But when I try and look for new love I just
see empty faces, is it because I am broken hearted?
No, I am overwhelmed at the enjoyment I get everyday out of life. It just seems like
everyone is everyone else. And the new faces walking around me are just a blur of
make-up and shaded highlights. I long tofindsomeone that can stand out in a crowd and
when I glance over and make that jittery eye contact, I feel a spark inside that ignites a
flame.
Thinking back on the loves past there were sparks, but nothing equivalent to even a
small Bunsen burner. Does this love exist in our lives and with the billions of people on
this earth, is it relative to even look or will love eventually find us?
There are no definite answers and the fact that love is an abstract feeling is even more
complex due to the intangible possibilities. Whatever love is it seems that it has a place
in all our hearts, and the person we have always known existed for us will appear in
time. Or, as many of us that have already found that Special One (grimace), it seems that
others still have to look, and hope that someone out there can compel us to make something more of ourselves, to finally achieve that happiness that is long overdue.
Questions, comments, or maybe even a romantic evening on the town, here is where
to send them mason025@csusm.edu.
Please recycle this paper
is typically
understood
to be created-from,
whereas
Hate prefers to be
observed-by.
Nonetheless,
when considering
their shared primal and
political origins, the intellectual mutations rise up like reflex quicker
than instinct, words taking numbers like drugs
and weapons, making lists that would be holy icons
through symmetry. No gilding necessary, no glaze of
blood, nor baptism of fire; we know already the folly
in attempting to devalue that which so persists in its
_ _ _ _ _ usefulness.
And 7 is never
deadly, only lucky at first and dead at last.
1.) Ire
Diverse and adverse through the diversions and advertisements, the general course
of modern life finds a lot to 'hate' in the name of distaste. This lowest form relates
mostly to annoyances, things that, alone, require more effort to complain about than
remedy. The loss of dignity in waiting through a pop tart's sale of a diet pop really
only equates to the blood lost from a mosquito bite. It is best not to scratch the
memory, but we do. Just the same; it is best to swat back when we can, and we'd
better.
2.) Spite
Easily confused for more serious incarnations of Hate, this second tier is too impartial, and yet again too draining to be dangerous to anyone but the spiteful. This
resentment of anyone happy and condescension over anyone unhappy can, indeed,
lead to more serious problems. A little art, or kindness for its own sake will usually
dilute, if not expel the affliction.
3.) Offense
Attack insists destruction in anything above the parasite, and offense, whether it is
taken for the sake of one's religion or one's child, should only be taken for the sake
of extinction rather than merely loss of territory (or lack of gain). It is the difficulty
in making this distinction that keeps Offense such a dangerous Hate to wear on any
occasion. Allow no shame in preserving the existence of me and mine, and take all
responsibility for the destruction of another's, knowing the justification that succeeds
the act is rarely any kind of justice.
4.) Vengeance
If focused on the genuine source of the offense, and known as a means toward
regaining peace rather than sharing misery, Vengeance is no less natural or spiritual,
powerful or beautiful than any other human experience. Transforming the burden of
Hate into pacifism requires an excess of restraint, a lack of courage, and a reckless
affair with foresight.
5.) Prejudice
The capacity to categorize and qualify is essential to the survival of any species,
particularly those as curious as our own, however, overused explanations must never
be used as a justifications. Prejudicial hatred serves nothing but immature oversimplification and lazy self aggrandizement. Our negative associations and identity
crises are our own problems. Identifying a Hate for a type of manufactured personality can hone the critical faculties, but hating a type of person only lends your life to
debasing causes.
6.) Genocide
This overused term and under reconciled phenomenon can be defined as a complete
surrender toward the impossible cause of directly annihilating any single aspect of a
species. A common example would be a domesticated fowl's reflex to peck at blood,
thus becoming bloody, thus being pecked at, and so on. Destroying all that resemble
the source of one's Offense results only in the widening, thus dissolving of the very
categorizing faculties once valued. Genocide is valuable to nature only in that it regulates the populations of species that, if allowed to assimilate their variations entirely,
would expand to the point of eradicating all other life. Ants are small and occasionally warlike, while humans are large and will fight over anything.
7.) Psychosis
The answer must rise, if long after the chickens are roosting on either side of their
eggs, whether our species first developed from solitary into social or vice versa. Even
if we must conquer time before we know the past, it will be worth it for the light shed
onto the factors that incite or incident a psychotic, a human whose deepest existence
demands the suffering and destruction of human life. Difficult as it is to approach
from intellectual distance, even from aesthetic exploration, the spiritual and emotional
approachesfightonly the symptoms, providing barriers rather than vaccinations: The
key may lie in empathy, the diplomat between Love's sympathy and Hatred's selfishness, for the lock is surely placed between the Psychotic as a human and yourself as
a Psychotic.

Houses don't kill people,
people kill people.
That's where George Lutz is
mistaken.
Ryan Reynolds plays George
in the latest remake of The Amityville Horror, where his family
is cursed by living at 412 Ocean
Avenue in Long Island.
The movie is based on a true
story and the house was once a
mission belonging to the reverend Jeremiah Ketcham, who used
to torture and kill Native Americans on his property. Ketcham
supposedly slit his own throat so
that his soul would never leave
the property.
The movie begins by showing
the horror that happened in 1974,
when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered
his entire family in the house,
claiming that the voices told him
to do it.
Flash-forward and the movie
focuses on the next family,
the Lutzes, who move into the
house.
The graphical effects are
frighteningly good and may
sometimes even cause you to
jump in your seat. One example
is when George and his wife,
Kathy (Melissa George), are in
the middle of sex when he all of a
sudden sees a dead girl standing
behind her.
Unfortunately, the director
resorted to a few cheap tricks,
like moving magnets on the
refrigerator to spell out phrases,
blood seeping out of nooks and
crannies, and a provocative pot-
smoking babysitter.
But the scene where the babysitter goes into shock is amazing,
and George's dry humor brings
laughter to the times when the
director's overuse of emotional
bullshit would have otherwise
been unbearable.
This remake leaves out a few
details from the 1979 film starring James Brolin and Margot
Kidder that would have made the
plot even more interesting. For
example, George is supposed to
have an uncanny resemblance to
Ronald DeFeo Jr., and the priest
is supposed to go blind after visiting the house.
My suggestion would be to see
the 2005-version first, because
it is definitely more suspenseful. Then see the 1979 version to
learn more about the story.

A lot UNLIKE most romantic comedies is more like it, and this is definitely for the better.

love story. You will want to see Oliver
(Ashton Kutcher) and Emily (Amanda
Peet) wind up together in the end without the urge to throw popcorn at the
screen.
The first couple of minutes were
slow, but the pace picked up during
Oliver and Emily's first official meeting in style: the mile high club. Goofy
Oliver falls for Emily immediately as
she humors his boyish innocence. They
meet up the next day, and spend the
afternoon together exchanging quirky
comments and spontaneous moments
that each would remember. Oliver finds
himself getting attached to a seemingly
uninterested Emily and tries to save
face, making a deal with Emily that
he will have a job, house and car all
wrapped up with a beautiful wife in six
years. They depart as the story unfolds
with more spontaneous outings on New
Year's, and a road trip that lands them
naked in a National Park.
Yet, getting to know each other better
as friends sparks a romance that neither
is willing to admit—until it may be too
late.
The acting is not by any means Oscarwinning, but it doesn't seem difficult for
Kutcher to play the goofy guy you can't
help but love, and Peet is entertaining
with her sarcastic remarks throughout. The chemistry between the two is
extremely fascinating to watch. This is
espiecially because many scenes looked
as though they were un-scripted, which
added to the cohesiveness between the
two characters.
Although this film contains some
unnecessary ingredients most romantic comedies contain, it stands out from
the rest giving a few real laughs, and
good feelings rather than a gag reflex.

Moore money for 'hell-raiser' students
BY CHEZARE MILO
Pride Staff Writer
Michael Moore is coming back
to CSUSM; that is at least his
money is coming.
The filmmaker and political
activist announced on Tuesday
details of the 'hell-raiser' schol-
arship he promised CSUSM students in his October 12, 2004
speech at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. According to a press
release from Moore, the "Michael
Moore Freedom of Speech Scholarship at Cal State San Marcos"
will award $2500 scholarships to,
"the two individual students who
have done the most to fight for
issues of student rights by standing up to the administration of
Cal State San Marcos."
"I hope this scholarship will
encourage students to show courage and stand up for what they
believe in," said Moore, "When
students (take on the administra-
tion) for the right reasons, they
should be rewarded."
To be eligible for one of the
scholarships a student must be
enrolled in a minimum of at least
six units each semester during the
2004-2005 academic year or for
the fall 2005 semester and have a
minimum grade point average of
2.5. The application process consists of filling out an application
form including three personal
references at: http://www.michaelmoore.com/takeaction/sanmarcos_form.php and submitting a two page letter to Michael

Undergrads and others came
out to give blood to the San Diego
Blood Bank on April 19 and 20.
The big white bloodmobile was
parked in front of the Dome from
11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days.
The pressure to donate blood
was intimidating for some, but
others thought of it as a way to
give back.
The blood donation process
takes about 45 minutes to an
hour. The majority of the time
is spent answering questions to
determine donor eligibility. If
you have a blood communicable
disease like HIV/AIDS the blood
bank does not want your blood.
Once you are done with all the
paperwork, you are given a preliminary test to see if you have
enough iron in your blood. Once
you pass the test you are ready to
donate. It is common to be nervous prior to giving blood.
"The only fear I have is the
needle," saidfirsttime donor Arianna Merrill.
This is a fear that I also shared.
What one discovers however is
that after the first poke of the
needle the fear subsides. After

Students from county community colleges
and universities gathered to march on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's downtown San
Diego office last week. The April 20 student
walkout in San Diego was just one of several
scheduled on this day throughout the state.
The primary goal was to protest the eight percent undergraduate tuition increase planned
for the 2005/2006 school year.

"We are mourning the (death of
the) California dream for affordable higher education," said Jason
Spencer, CSSA chair of legislative affairs. Spencer said that students are getting more and paying
less because of the budget cuts
students are having to rely more
heavily on financial aid and side
jobs to complete their education.
"We can't balance our state
budget on the backs of students,"
said Bustamante. "Raising tuition
fees is shortsighted and lacks
vision. We need an educated
workforce for our economy."
Applause erupted from the
crowd when Bustamante thanked
the students for their participation.
"Thank you for coming. Thank
you for bringing the faces of students, not statistics, before the
Legislature. The next generation
of students will benefit because
of your advocacy," said Bustamante.
Hancock urged students to get
involved on their campuses and
do everything they can to express
their voice. "Student fees have
risen faster than inflation. We
have to turn this around. We
(legislators) are fighting on the
inside, but we also need you to
fight on the outside."
After the protest, students disbursed to lobby legislators, do
some shopping, or hang out on the
capitol lawn before attending the

A plus for future teachers
BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM teacher candidates
rock.
That was the consensus resonating throughout the Teacher
Career Fair—the exemplary
qualifications of CSUSM teacher
candidates.
"Our teacher candidates are
highly qualified and sought after",
said Sandy Punch, the director of
the career fair. There were 41
school districts from all over the
state in attendance as well as a
few from Colorado, Arizona, and
Nevada.
CSUSM has hosted this event
for 13 years for alumni and newly
credentialed teacher candidates.
The purpose is to give our candidates a chance to network and
meet with representatives from
various districts as well as hand
delivering their resumes.
The fair is a great opportunity
for our future teachers tofindout
about local school districts as
well as those in other parts of the
country.
Ana Stover, who is the director of Human Resources for the
Chula Vista Unified School District, spoke with candidates about
the new schools opening up in
the area and they are currently
accepting applications for every
position. "We are especially
looking for multiple subject
credentialed candidates with a
BCLAD, Special Education, and
Speech certificate," said Stover.
Many of the representatives
expressed their need for certified
BCLAD (Bilingual Certificate of
Advanced Study in Biliteracy:
Spanish) applicants. In many districts there are always positions
available for math and science
teachers in the middle school
level as well as Special Education
teachers in every grade level.
Poway, Temecula, San Marcos
and Murrieta school districts had
the longest lines of candidates
vying for a chance to speak with
the representatives and hand in
their resumes.
Chris Meglio, who will graduate with his single subject credential in math, was waiting in
line to speak with a Murrieta representative. "I'm trying to find
the best fit for my needs," said
Meglio when asked what type of
district he is looking to work for.
Regardless of the amount of
teacher candidates graduating
each year in California (about
400-500 for CSUSM alone), our
teacher education program has a
reputation for training high-quality teachers.
Cheryl Cauldren, who will be
graduating this semester with
her multiple subject credential,
said she was, "wowed by the
instructors and the least effective
(instructor) was really great."
Chris Meglio said he is proud
to be a CSUSM grad and has
already received job offers for the
upcoming school year.
John Mendoza from Palm
Springs Unified School District
has been attending the fair for the
past eight years and comments on
the high caliber of teacher candidates from CSUSM. "We've
hired two right out of the fair,"
said Mendoza. When asked about
what advice he would give to prospective teachers, Mendoza said,
"Don't limit yourself, locals may
need to look outside of San Diego
County. Palm Springs is a growing district and we are always
hiring qualified teachers."

to include a biographical description, why you
attend CSUSM, why you
should receive the scholarship and, "What you have
done to take a stand and
make your school community a better place." Students meeting the requirements are encouraged to
nominate themselves; in
addition students and faculty can nominate students
they feel deserve the scholarships.
All applications for the
scholarships must be completed by May 11, and the
winners will be announced
in early June.
"At a time when the
media and politicians have
shown a lack of courage,
we should look to America's universities and America's young people to show
us how patriotic dissent is,"
said Moore.
Students and faculty had
various responses when
asked who deserved the
two $2500 scholarships.
"I don't know of one this
year. I actually have been
thinking about it," said
Dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences Vicki Golich.
Golich said she is unsure
if the scholarships will be
good for CSUSM in the
long run. "It's important

Student Eric Kiefer had
someone in mind to receive
the scholarship. "I would
say Claude Sayf because
he was a hell-raiser, but
he's graduating this semester and Jason Williams
because he's put up with a
lot of hell," said Kiefer.
Student Daniel Lowe was
at a loss. "I have no idea. I
haven't really been paying
attention to it," said Lowe.
Student Melissa Rodriguez had another student
in mind. "Jason Williams.
The whole issue regarding
his arrest was really controversial and it was clear
that the university didn't
want to talk about it. He
suffered because he had to
deal with it and he was able
to organize people around
campus in a way nobody
else has," said Rodriguez.
"I don't know," said student Claude Sayf, "I can tell
you who doesn't deserve it,
the College Republicans."
Student Financial Services was unavailable for
comment on the scholarships by press time.

lege (SDCC) to participate in the
walkout. Cal State San Marcos
student Tasha Iglesias organized
the San Diego portion of the protest: another contingent of Cal
State San Marcos students went
north to Sacramento to participate in the walkout activities at
the state capitol.
Iglesias did not express disappoint with the seemingly small
number of Cal State San Marcos
students on the San Diego bus.
"It's not about how many
people you have, it's about how
many people you can educate,"
said Iglesias.
The bus dropped off the Cal
State San Marcos representatives just south of SDCC near the
grassy area on the corner of Park
Boulevard and B Street where
the marchers and protestors congregated. Approximately 500
students gathered there, holding
signs and shouting at the traffic
on Park Boulevard. Reporters
and photographers from every
major broadcast and print media
source in the area were also on
hand, adding to the hectic atmosphere.
"Fight, fight, fight! Education
is a right!" among others, were
the chants used by the crowd both
at SDCC and on the march.
Anna Matysiak, a sophomore
business major, took the bus
down to SDCC for both the protest and as part of a class project.
"We wanted to see how the
media portrayed the event," said
Matysiak. The project, part of a

to the efforts of the police. Shay
then ordered the police line to
stand-down. The protestors were
escorted west on B then south
on Front Street. From there, the
march continued east on Broadway much to the shock of noontime downtown patrons.
Many of the chants fell on deaf
ears, however, as the protestors
changed their chants from focusing on education to challenging
the Bush administration and the
war in Iraq. A chant of "Keep
the soldiers out of schools" was
answered by an old man watching the march.
"Then who's going to fight
the war?" said the old man as
he stood outside a wig shop on
the corner of Ninth Avenue and
Broadway.
Although no CSUSM students
participated in the impromptu
detour, Iglesias was discouraged
that the group's negative interaction with the police would
reflect poorly on the walkout and
the message of the day, which
was protecting the diminishing
budget of the public higher education system.
"It divides the group," said
Iglesias, "If we are supposed to
be united, and then we divide,
what message does that send?"

THE PRIDE
Dress to impress
BY PATRICK B.LONG
Pride Staff Writer
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Now that you have your college degree under
your belt, it's time to build a wardrobe to go with
it. Here's some practical advice to building your
'office' wardrobe.
What to purchase:
Invest in a few bottoms and tops that you can
mix and match. The colors you choose should be
solids: black pants, brown skirt, blue pants, etc.
Now with your solids on the bottom, you can get a
little funkier with the tops. Go for tops that match
all of your bottoms.
The key word when shopping is "modesty."
Black pants are essential but be sure they are
appropriate. No low-riders or Capri length. If you
have to get a bikini wax to wear the pants - they
are too low. Also, v-neck tops are great—but not
if you're cleavage is showing. I don't recommend
sleeveless tops. A good compromise is a twinset.
Skirt lengths are important. Sit down when you
try on a skirt. When sitting, if it rides up to your
panty line it's too short.
A couple pairs of nylons (pantyhose) should be
purchased as well. Bare legs are very common
in California—but not if you land a job in a more
formal environment like the East Coast.
A jacketisamustas well. Try for basic black—
it will go with everything. Another good purchase—but not an alternative to a jacket—is a
cardigan. A cardigan is a wonderful piece that
can be worn instead of a jacket in the hot summer
months.
Buy a good pair of closed-toed shoes. Stick to
basic heels or flats. Stay away from the trendy
strappy platform shoes—they won't go with your
new clothes and your feet will be killing you after
nine hours. Don't penny-pinch when it comes to
shoes. Remember that a great pair of shoes will
Last you a long time.
Where to purchase:
Skip the department stores and go straight to
the specialty shops in the mall. You need help
picking out your clothes and that means a salesperson. Smaller shops like Ann Taylor, Casual
Corner and Talbot's offer the best combination of
selection and customer service. This is because
these shops, as well as the salespeople, specialize
in the clothes you are looking for.
Specialty shops are best for shoes, too. You can
buy Clarks, Easy-Spirit and NineWest shoes at
department stores, but you will get a much better
selection at their smaller brand stores located in
the mall.
Only buy a few items at a time. Every company
is going to have their do's and don'ts of what is
appropriate to wear and what isn't. For example,
a cutting-edge dotcom company might encourage
casual dress. A clothes designer might encour-

casualcorner.com
age a modern dress. An investment bank might
encourage formal suit attire. There is no need to
buy a brand new wardrobe. Once you've settled
into your new job you will get a sense of what
everyone else around you is wearing and then purchase new pieces for your wardrobe based on the
preferences of the company.
How do I pay for all this? Here's how I did it:
Myfirstoffice job that required formal dress was
at Anthony Robbins Co. in La Jolla. I had spent
a considerable amount of money on a few items
that I rotated on a weekly basis. After a couple of
months I was very bored with my wardrobe and
had no funds to do anything about it. One of my
co-workers, Betty, was always wearing the most
trendy office attire and since we were at the same
pay scale I decided to ask her how she could buy
new clothes so often, Betty told me she works
part-time at Casual Corner. She only works a few
hours a week and the little extra income combined
with the hefty employee discount allowed her to
add two to three new outfits to her wardrobe per
month.
Following Betty's lead, I immediately got a job
at Petite Sophisticate. I worked about 10 hours per
week and received a 40 percent discount. After
working only one month I had a brand new wardrobe.

Robbins Company in La Jolla, CA; World Prokennex Inc in Carlsbad, CA; Gartmore Investment
Bank in London, UK; and El Dorado Saving and

resume and career advice to
j ump-start your j ob search?
Call (619) 887-4499 today!
For graduating students and
those looking for careers in
the exciting world of corporate
America, there is a lot to prepare
for.
After the resume, the first
in-person impression an applicant gives to their prospective
employer is key to nailing the
interview: you have to get it right
the first time. The jeans and tshirts of college life will not cut
it any more.
Marketing yourself is not
always as easy as it seems.
Appearance is essential and
demands attention to detail.
Matching socks, ties and shirts
with your suit or jacket and pants
will be harder than you think.
Thefirstrequirement is to have
at least two suits in your collection. One grey and one blue—
dark blue, not powder blue. Some
places will also recommend black
suits, but they make you look like
an IRS agent. You can buy suits
off the rack, but in order to look
professional and not like a teenager working a sales job in the
mall, having your suits fitted is
the best way to go. Look for wool
suits to maintain a classic look
and stay away from hip colors.
The suit is not the time to be
thrifty. Department stores or specialty suit stores, like The Men's
Wearhouse, are great for a proper
fit and good quality.
"Your first interview suit
depends in large part on the type
ofjob f oj which you're interviewing, but charcoal gray and navy
blue are always appropriate,"
states the Men's Wearhouse website. The website has great guide-
lines on building a wardrobe and
dressing for success. The website
even shows you how to tie a tie.
Until you are making good
money, never spend too much
money on ties since the patterns
go out of style every six months.
Buy ties at places like Kohl's or
on the sale rack at department
stores.
In addition to suits, pants, like
khakis, and jackets are a good
choice to have. You can mix and
match the outfits.
Shirts are an important part
of the outfit for men. Until you
become confident wearing suits,
solid colored shirts are the best
way to go. Key colors would be
white, blue and grey to match the
suits. Try not to clash patterns on
your tie and shirt. Shirts are easy
to find at places like Ross Dress
for Less or Marshalls. Be sure
to get measured for your shirts
before you buy them. Proper
shirt fit depends on your neck
and arm length measurements,
and the cut of the shirt, so look
for professional help in the beginning until you know your proper
size and cut.
Shoes and socks are easy for
men to find as well. Discount
retailers like Ross Dress for Less
and Marshalls are also great for
shoes.
Outfit aside, personal appearance i s important for a job i nt^g
view; Men should have a clean';
haircut and neatly trirtuned or
no facial hair. Jewelry should be
kept to a minimum, oneringand a
dress watch—no big diver-styles.

on campus as well as at Palon^ar
College (where he received his
AA degree in Radio and Television).
Hinkle has accredited part
of his achievement to his
mentor Maribel Garcia, a
women's studies professor
on campus.
"I see him as a disability rights advocate," said
Garcia. Garcia went on
talking about the powerful
impact Hinkle's accomplishments have had on
others, and even shows his
movie as a part of her class
curriculum.
"He's changing lots of
lives," said Garcia.
Students have an opportunity to view Hinkle's
movie on campus, September 30,2005 in Arts 240, to
see the messages that have
already touched the lives of
many. When asking Hinkle
what advice he would give to students he said,; "Life is like an
open book, and you're the one
who fills in the pages. No matter
what your experiences, good or
bad, by turning the page you can
move on."

OPINION
THE PRIDE
Progressive views are not on the
agenda of Benedict XVI
BY FELIPE ZANARTU
For The Pride
The selection of the new Pope
Joseph Ratzinger (a.k.a. Benedict
XVI) of Germany is a huge victory for conservatives and those
of the Opus Dei.
For years many American
Catholics have been waiting for
the pope to die hoping we would
find a new Pope with more liberal views. This pope however is
not going to be leaning to the left
or moving the church forward
on liberal issues. He has been
quoted as saying that homosexuality is intrinsically e vil So the
chances of reform in the church
doctrine over the next decade
concerning sexuality are doubtful. Along with sexuality comes
the issue of women in the priest
hood. With the record that Benedict has, it looks like he plans to
keep the Catholic Church a patriarchal institution.
In talking with religious people
on campus, I was told that Bible
passages are often interpreted to
say that males are the rulers of the
church. In this country we have
sectors of Catholicism and other
religions that believe men are the
head of the church. Most sectors
of Islam would be a prime exampie of a religion that doesn't seem
to practice tolerance. Others
believe that progress must start
from the church.
Former

This letter is to help inform

couple of weeks ASI has been
promoting events to protest these
fee increases without informing
the campus community of other

is one other conflict that has been
raised: Benedict XVI's past. This
would be the Nazi question. Was
he a Nazi? Looking at his age it
is entirely possible. After some
research I found that membership was compulsory in the Hitler
Youth.
Many sources say that the
Hitler Youth was possible to
resist, and many did according to
those sources.
"(Benedict XVI) found refuge
in the Catholic Church" wrote
author Beth Rowen.
I would not conclude that our
pope is a Nazi, but at a young age
he probably went along with the
movement out of ignorance like
many German's did in Hitler's
nationalistic state.
On television this week, Bill
Maher made up a clever new rule,
"No picking a German pope the
day before Hitler's Birthday. You
have just given every conspiracy
theorist in the world a hard-on."
Only time will tell whether this
pope will create change or if it
will be more of the same. As an
agnostic, I really could care less
who the pope is. But given the
huge fundamentalist/evangelical
movement in current U.S. politics
and culture, and the blurring of
the implied separation of church
and State, the pope becomes a
figure that no one in the world
can ignore.
ing of other faiths. So right now
we are raising the issues, such as
women in the priesthood."
Catholic staffworker Ann
Gnuse concurred with a progressive church, "I don't think the
church should remain a patriarchal institution. If women want
to be part of the priesthood, more
power to them."
Many religious people are
questioning whether Benedict
XVI can do a better job than Pope
John Paul II
"I think that John Paul II really
raised the bar," said Catholic student Arcay Santos, "so he's going
to be a hard act to follow."
Many Christians and Catholics
hope and expect him to be a good
pope. The church however seems
to be at a crossroads.
"They need to figure out where
they stand," said Ruth Bran, a
volunteer collegiate minister,
"they must address the issues of
AIDS in Africa, zero population
in china, and the overall worldwide culture."
With the issue of culture there

Ms. Brett, that by announcing
your movie titles, w e're making
sure you get the correct movie.
There ARE people out there who
grab the wrong movie or get the
incorrect movie behind a cover
box. We don't care if you're a
"loser on a Friday night" because
we're WORKING on a Friday
night! Businesses that double
check things for you and greet
you are just doing what is asked
of them. There's a little thing
called Secret Shoppers that us
customer service specialists
have to worry about. By not
completing tasks like greeting
you or repeating your order, we
risk our reputation as a good
customer oriented business. Also,
the whole Starbucks deal, how
are they to know you're the only
one at the counter when they're
behind the counter blending your
nonfat latte? They're doing the
same as Blockbuster; double
checking for all the customers.
Maybe the person who took the
order heard something different
and they make SURE it's correct
for you! It's obvious you don't
work in the customer service
industry so before you think
about complaining about people
like me doing my j ob correctly,
think of what we have to go
through dealing with grumpy
customers like you. If great
customer service is what really
bugs you, then start shopping at
Wal-Mart from now on. You'll fit
right in!

2005-2006 Proposed Budget.
First, pursuant to the Higher
Education Compact that was
agreed upon by the California
State University Trustees and
Governor Schwarzenegger, the
proposed budget for the 20052006 academic year includes
a 3 percent general funding
increase (yes you read correctly,
an increase). This means that
the CSU system as a whole will
see a funding increase of $71.7
million for basic budget support.
Second, pursuant to the same
Higher Education Compact the
proposed budget also includes
additional funding of $50.8
million to be spent towards
enrollment growth. This means
that the CSU system will
be allocated more money to
accommodate a 2.5 percent
increase in enrollment. This will
affect CSU San Marcos students
because it will accommodate a
slight increase in enrollment for
the Fall 2005 and Spring 2006
terms.
Third, while student fees were
increased 8% for the 2005-2006
school year, students can find
solace knowing that a substantial
portion of this fee increase will
be dedicated to financial aid
for needy students. So while
• the advertisement in the April
13 th edition of the Pride (paid
for by ASI) dons the caption,
"Need help paying for school?
Too Bad," the fact is, contrary to
this misleading advertisement,
more money will be dedicated to
providing financial aid.
So with all of this said, I would
certainly hope in the future
that Associated Students Inc.
does a better j ob informing its
constituency(you the students) of
both sides of the story.

to finish. Admittedly Crichton's characters are a little
thin, but this is a plot-driven

"Angels & Demons"
BY ANDREA MORALES
Pride Staff Writer
Robert Langdon, a worldrenowned Harvard symbologist and expert
on
ancient
societies, is
awakened in
the middle of
the night by a
phone call emanating from a Swiss research facility, summoning him for an immediate departure to Geneva. And
so begins the story of "Angels and
Demons," another best seller by Dan
Brown, author of the "The Da Vinci
Code."
Langdon is asked to analyze a
mysterious symbol that has been
seared into the chest of a murdered
physicist. Once Langdon arrives,
he discovers evidence of the inconceivable: the symbol belongs to an
ancient secret brotherhood known
as the Illuminati, the most powerful
known underground organization.
Langdon is asked to help solve the
murder. The Illuminati brotherhood
is feared to have resurfaced to carry
out a legendary vendetta against
their most hated enemy — the Catholic Church.
Langdon agrees to help, and soon
discovers that the murder victim has
a daughter, Vittoria Vetra. Langdon jets off to Rome to meet up
with Vetra. Vetra, a beautiful and
mysterious Italian scientist, meets
Langdon in Vatican City where
their worst fears are confirmed. On
the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden
an unstoppable time bomb at the
heart of Vatican City. Both Langdon and Vetra embark on a frenzied
hunt through sealed crypts, burial
chambers, closed cathedrals, and
the most secret vault. Langdon and
Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail
of ancient symbols that winds all
through Rome. The trail will take
them to the ancient meeting place of
the Illuminati brotherhood.
"Angels and Demons" mixes art
history with mythology. Brown
expertly guides the reader through
compelling twists and turns using
theories of signs and symbols coupled with medieval history. If you
are looking for a book that will
entertain you with every page, Dan
Brown's "Angels and Demons" is an
excellent choice.

THÈ PRIDE
T hree Stooges caught in drug orgy with
cast of Dragon Ball:" Kung Fu Hustle"
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
For The Pride
Such an overload of guilty
pleasure and juvenile genius is
going to send you running one
way or the other, and it should.
And I should be able to avoid a
copout. But my evaluation is still
stuck on whether to use thumbs
or digits.
I watched from the edge of my
seat. I let my mouth hang open. I
laughed out loud. But I'm fairly
certain it was one of the
s tupidest movies
I've seen in my life.
Now to be fair, I had all those
same reactions to the first "Spiderman" and the second "Star
Wars" prequel, and they were
trying to be deep. "Kung Fu
Hustle," however, entangles the
line between laughing at and
laughing with while giving you
the feeling its creator might well
be doing the same.
Stephen Chow wrote, directed,
and starred in this... this movie,
and as its tragic, complex, and
eventually god-like hero, it's hard
to tell which is his strongest field.
Every aspect seems a tribute to
himself, despite the fact that the
will to make such a thing might
be his most original asset. If
there was one less iota of effort
put into this film—if it were not
so completely itself—I'd be able
to work on a much more scathing review.
Still, there's no denying the inconsistency
between the Axe Gang's
initial (stylishly) stolen
style and their eventual descent into
bland buffoonish
thugs. The use of
Images courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics
CGI—clearly the point that will
divide genre fans—provides
more laughs than gasps, and is
used so heavily in thefightscenes
that breaks from it make brilliant
martial artists look like amateurs
in a second rate music video. As
a fan of both ridiculous slapstick
and gory violence, I can say that
reminder of what a totalitarian
government can do to art. When
you don't know what you think,
and you don't know what they
want, I guess it's good to know
we're getting what we deserve.

there's a place for both of them,
yet kitschy childhood romance
and butt gags just don't mix with
shooting women in the back and
cutting (CGI) alley cats in half.
I've never been so ready
to throw cultural context and
respect to the wind by encouraging everyone to see it as a

T H E P RIDE
kHon
BY THOMAS F. GORMAN III
Pride Staff Writer
Located on California's Historic
Pacific Coast Highway, Hon Sushi
presents an opportunity for CSUSM
diners looking to indulge in an aesthetically pleasing culinary delight.
Dinner at the sushi bar begins with
a refreshing bowl of baby cucumbers
topped with a light dressing made of
vinegar, sugar and salt, and is accompanied by a bowl of lightly salted
sugar peas.
After a few beers and couple shots
of hot Sake, the entrées served by
Hon Sushi's head c hefs understudy,
Jun Jung, were eatables delectable
enough to turn the mostfinickyeater
to glutton.
The first entrées served consisted
of regular cuts of salmon and albacore sushi. The salmon is elegantly
garnished with a mini palm tree made
of carrot and topped with cucumber fronds. Albacore is served with
lemon wedges and wrapped with
ginger leaf giving the dish a delightful appeal. The cuts of fish are fresh
and full of flavor, but are not overwhelmingly fishy for those scared of
raw cuts offish. The two-piece regular sushi cuts run between $3 and $6
dollars, which is reasonable considering the flavor and artistry the dishes
provided.
Remaining entrées sampled consisted of a colorful assortment of
rolls beginning with the cucumber
paradise roll. The cucumber paradise roll is a delicious roll with mild
flavor consisting of an inside made
of tuna, yellow tail, salmon, crab
meat and asparagus. The roll is held
together by a thin layer of cucumber
wrapping. The cucumber paradise
roll is paradise for the taste buds, but
is difficult to fit in your mouth due
to the size of the roll. The cucumber
paradise roll is a six-piece roll that
can serve as a meal on its own and
costs $6.95.
The next roll sampled is a specialty roll known as the volcano
roll. This was my first time

sampling a volcano roll and I was
pleased. The volcano roll has a crab
meat, cucumber, and avocado inside,
topped with baked scallops. The
baked scallops are then garnished
with black fish eggs and shavings
of green onion. The baked scallops melted and the black fish eggs
popped every time they hit my mouth
providing an exciting bating experience. Presentation of the volcano roll
was nothing short of spectacular as
the roll is served in a decorative boat
made of carrot and cucumber. The
volcano roll is an eight-piece roll
costing $11.95 and is worth every
penny. The volcano roll is a definite
must for the first time visitor.
Then the Hon roll #2 was sampled.
The Hon roll #2 consists of an inside
containing tuna, salmon, shrimp tempura, crab meat, onion, green onion,
and masago. The roll is then held
together by an outside layer made of
soybean paper. The presentation of
the Hon #2 roll is not the most colorful, but is a clean looking roll with
flavor to back it up. The combination
of shrimp tempura and crab meat
is a gratifying combination for any
palate. The Hon roll #2 is
an eight-

piece roll and is moderately priced at
$8.95.
The meal ended with a bang as
an animated-looking caterpillar roll
consisting of an eel and cucumber
inside was served. The outside of
the caterpillar roll is decorated with
artful pieces of avocado, octopus
eyes, and carrot antennas. The caterpillar roll is must have for those with
children, or for those who wish to
feel like a child again. The flavor is
amazing as the tastes of the avocado
and the sweetfleshof the fresh water

Task force outlines areas for improvement in campus policing practices
W hat upcoming
graduates need to know
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
University Police vehicles are a regular sight in front of the campus.
BY CHEZARE MILO
Pride Staff Writer
The Task Force on Campus Policing released their "Final Report, First
Combined D raft" on Friday, April 28
to Interim Chief of Police Aaron Woodard and Vice President of Finance and
Administrative Services Neal R. Hoss
for review. The report contains 31 specific and often multi-provisional recommendations for change within police
department as well as other related areas
in the campus community. According to the Task Force's report, Woodard
and Hoss are to, "develop a calendar to
address each of the recommendations,"
Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride
and create, "a report concerning any
recommendations that will not be acted
upon."
Using the "concept of community
oriented policing" as a model for recommendations to the CSUSM Police,
the report concludes that while community oriented policing, "is a philosophy
that the University Police of Cal State
San Marcos has adopted in its mission,
vision, and values statement," there are,
"many ways in which the University
Police could strengthen how it carries
out community oriented policing in its
general practices, its staffing, its communication strategies and educational
functions."
Recommendations of the report
include implementing diversity and
profiling training for officers, increasing foot patrols of the campus, establishing regular patrol areas for specific
officers, using informal sanctions when
at all possible, increasing community
outreach programs, creating an ongoing
review board for policing practices and
exploring the use of cameras in police
vehicles.
The task force formed in January 2005
with the goal of, * "preparing a report

Commencement 2005 will be Saturday
May 14 with one ceremony at 9:00 a.m.
and another at 3:00 p.m. at the Del Mar Fair
Grandstands. There will be around 800
people graduating at each ceremony, and
around 10,000-12,000 guests are expected
to attend. The graduation committee has
been busy figuring out all of the logistics
for the day and has formulated some helpful advice to get you through the day as
smoothly as possible.
The first thing to know, before you plan
any sort of celebration, is that the ceremony
will last around 2-2 hours, and you will
not be allowed to leave early. Plan your
lunch or dinner reservations accordingly,
and allow for all the picture taking, hugging
grandmas and traffic.
Graduates must check in one hour before
the ceremony to begin lining up. You have
to say goodbye to your family and friends at
the Plaza de Mexico and check in at the Paddock entrance with your cap and gown.
At the entrance you will receive your name
card and cords if you are graduating with
honors. (There will be a list posted in the
hallway by Registration and Records with
the names of students eligible for honors.)

Campus study aids suicide prevention
BY CHRIS KING
Pride Staff Writer
Preliminary findings from a study of
CSUSM freshman students who reside
on campus revealed that, "About one in
five students indicated that either they or
someone they knew seriously considered
suicide or attempted suicide in the last six
months."
The freshman and their parents were
part of a survey conducted by Community
Health Improvement Partners' (CHIP)
designed to ultimately improve current
suicide prevention programs.
According to a CHIP press release, sui-
cide has become a growing concern to the
community because it is the second leading cause of death among younger college students and the suicide rate among
this group has been rising in San Diego
County.
A magnet prepared with information
on how to detect signs and symptoms of
depression and telephone numbers for suicide prevention hotlines was the centerpiece of the study. The magnets were given
to both students and parents. The groups
were surveyed once at the beginning of
the fall 2004 semester and again in spring
2004. The study was meant to determine
the reaction of
students and parents when someone close
to them showed signs or appeared to be at
risk of suicide.
According to the study, over half the students kept the magnet in visible location
(such as a refrigerator); almost 40 per cent
did so "all or most of the time" and over
80 per cent of parents who received the
magnet also kept the magnet visible.
In addition the study showed that students were somewhat more likely, after
having received the magnet, to recognize
the signs and symptoms of depression in
a friend and encourage the friend to call

widely shared with the Cal State San Marcos
campus and would look at best practices in
campus policing in the United States." In
addition the task force "was to document current use of best national practices at Cal State
San Marcos, and where appropriate and in
compliance with state law and system policy,
recommend improvements in the existing
policing model." The task force was formed
due to campus community concerns regarding policing practices in the wake of the arrest
of student Jason Williams.
The 11 member panel consists of Chair
Terry Allison, Associate Vice President of
Human Relations & Campus Enterprises
Linda Leiter, Director of Student and Residential Life Bridget Blanshan, Academic
Senate Executive Committee member and
Professor of Sociology Valerie Callanan, Faculty subject expert and Professor of Sociology Edwardo Portillos, staff member Charles

Aaron Woodard.
"Overall I think that funding (for the recommendations) is going to be an issue," said
Leonard, "I hope that they (Woodard and
Hoss) look at this as top priority."
She said she felt that the creatjon of an
ongoing review board for policing practices
on campus was the single most important recommendation contained in the report.

the things that makes sure recommendations
are implemented," said Leonard

"CHIP'S Suicide Prevention

Changes in policing practices are unlikely to mean less regular patrol interactions with University
Police such as the questioning of Mike Rostami in front of the Dome on May 2. Rostami later
said he was asked to leave campus and threatened with arrest. Touting a handful of forms, he
said he was on campus to get information about the requirements for the Visual and Performing
Arts (VPA) program. Rostami said that the police told him he, "looked suspicious" and that
someone reported him digging through the trash (which is illegal in San Marcos). He produced
a Volkswagen throttle body that he said he found sitting on top of a recycling bin, arid guessed
that this was the reason for someone reporting him to police. Rostami promptly left campus.

help prevent suicides.
"The causes of depression are
complex," said Sise. "Depression
is often the result of a combination of inherited, personal-psychological, and environmental
factors. And at times depression
occurs for no apparent reason.
But whatever the cause, depression is nearly always treatable."
In college, stress arising from
the environment can play a part
in the development of a depressive episode. Common sources
of stress in the life of college
students,
especially
freshman, include: greater academic
demands, being on one's own in
and air horns at home. Wasn't
that a high school thing? If you
show up and have been "celebrating" early, you will be asked to
leave.
After the ceremony the graduates will be excused row by row
in a formal recessional, and will
have the opportunity to accept
congratulations from the faculty
who will line up in the Paddock
area.
The best piece of advice, from a
former graduate, is to prearrange
where you are going to meet your
family and friends after the ceremony. Do not choose the Paddock area because it will be very
crowded.
If you need help choosing a
spot, look on the Commencement
2005 link on the CSUSM home
page, where you will find a nice
aerial photo, maps to Del Mar and
lots of other helpful information.

�Evaluating your professors
CLASSIFIEDS
CSUSM takes student feedback seriously
BY JENNIFER IANNI
Pride Staff Writer
A fter spending hours reading,
taking notes, researching, writing
papers and mentally evaluating
every aspect of a course/students
are finally given the opportunity,
through the Student Evaluation
of Course Instruction forms, to
let teachers and administrators
know exactly what they think.
The forms allow students
to anonymously evaluate the
instructor and the course on different scales, ranging from how
enthusiastic the instructor was to
how prepared they were in class.
It's an opportunity for students
to have their voices heard and to
offer advicp and critique to help
teachers in f uture courses. The
evaluation form consists of a
series of questions compiled by
the Faculty A ffairs Committee.
There are different types of evaluation forms for different types
of instructors, but all the forms
were designed in order to get
the most appropriate feedback
f rom students regarding course
instructors.
One of the most important
things about the Student Evaluation of Course Instruction
forms is the way in which they
are distributed. The procedure
is designed to give students f ull
anonymity so that they are completely candid in their evaluations.
The course instructor is asked to
leave the room and two student
volunteers read the instructions
and distribute the evaluations to
the class.
"The process that's outlined
on the front of that envelope is
really important for the students
to follow," said Associate Dean
of the College of Education Dr.
Peggy Kelly. "Some students, in
their zeal, they may really love a
professor, hand it to the professor, which invalidates it. It has to
come from the students to Institutional Research, not pass through
a faculty member's hands."
This process guarantees that
there is no opportunity for a
professor to see or change the
evaluations before they reach
Institutional Research. Students
are usually given 15 minutes at
the end of class to complete the
forms and place them in a manila
envelope. A fter the forms are
completed, they are taken to
Institutional Research and copies
are then sent to the appropriate

"Faculty are not allowed to
see any of the evaluation forms

before grades are posted," said
Kelly. "That's for the student's
protection in the event that some
students feel like there might
be retribution because of a poor
evaluation. This is to avoid any
of that sort of conflict."
If a student writes something
accusatory on the evaluation
form, certain steps are taken by
the administration.
"When you're talking about
student evaluations, a comment
by one student is not significant
enough," said Kelly. There needs
to be more data because it's not
uncommon for a student to feel
that they're getting a bad grade
in class, therefore, they try to get
back at the teacher "
In this case, more data would
include specific dates, times and
reactions to inappropriate classroom behavior, as well as more
than one student making the
claim.
"There is a cause for concern
when it's more than one student and it's very specific about
what the issues are," said Kelly.
"The more specific a student can
be about what the incidence or
behavior was, the more administrators have to work with. When
that's corroborated by others in
the classroom, we have a conver-

sation about it."
In the end, it's important to
know that the evaluation forms
do make a difference. They can
play a vital part in an instructor's
academic career. If an instructor is going through the retention,
tenure and promotion process,
student evaluations are used to
measure whether they have
addressed certain problem areas
in their teaching and improved
upon them. Getting student feedback can only improve the quality of courses and instructors at
CSUSM.
"We want to know the students
opinion on how the courses were
from their perspectives. The
faculty members have their perspectives and have put their best
efforts into the course, but were
they successful?" said Kelly. "If
it weren't for the students, why
would we be here?"
One student remarked about
the student evaluation process.
"When I fill out the forms, I
do try to fill them out honestly,"
said Randie Chance, a sophomore psychology major. "I think
good teachers care what students
think about their classes and their
teaching styles."

�Summer travel for the
financially challenged
BY HEATHER H OFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
It's been a rough semester.
If you're looking to get away
f rom it all and travel, but money
is tight, don't worry there are
plenty of ways to travel cheaply.
Here are a few ideas:
First, if you're a student, there
are places that specialize in cheap
student travel, such as www.statravel.com. You may have seen
this travel company on "The Real
World," this is a cool company
because they specialize in getting
students great deals. Their website is very user friendly - you
can plan your whole trip there and
even come up with better ideas
than you started with. They have
information on places to stay, as
well as transportation once you
get there.
Some of the current roundtrip deals featured include Los
Angeles t o Costa Rica for $208,
Los Angeles to London f or $328,
and San Diego to New York for
$268.
Take advantage of student
travel deals while you can, you
have the rest of your life t o work.
Second, if you're searching for
cheap airfares, t ry the airlines'
websites. O ften they have better
deals then elsewhere. Right now
on Hawaiian Airlines website
(www.hawaiianairlines.com) you
can fly Los Angeles to Hawaii
for $358 round-trip if you travel
before June 9, 2005. Airlines
frequently o ffer better deals than
other travel websites because
they want you to book your flight
directly.
Southwest Airlines (www.
southwestairlnes.com)
o ffers
summer rates as low as $49 oneway. Southwest comes out with
Internet specials every Tuesday
that will keep you flying cheap.
Jet Blue (www.jetblue.com) is
another airline that frequently
o ffers low fares.
Currently
they're o ffering $39 one-way
tickets f rom Long Beach to Las
Vegas. With the high cost of gas
it might actually save you money
to drive to Long Beach and then
fly to Vegas. Jet Blue doesn't fly
everywhere, but it is definitely
worth checking out.
Third, b e flexible. If you are
flexible on your travel dates you
can find good deals, you j ust have
to look for them. If you can travel
during the week, do it. You're
going to save on a irfare and hotel
rooms during the week.
Fourth, take a drive. If flying
isn't your thing, take a road trip.
Road trips are awesome and can
be where you make some of the
best memories with your f riends.
The price of gas is high right now,
but if you can get your buddies t o
chip in, a road t rip is a great idea
for a cheap summer trip. Find
something you like - baseball
for example - and go watch your
team play in another city. You
will have more f un exploring a
new city i f you're doing something you enjoy.
F ifth, get lost. We are lucky
enough to live in an amazing
city that is close to the beach,
the mountains, and the desert.
Have a vacation close to home.
You don't have t o travel f ar to
have an amazing trip. If you're
looking to get away, book a hotel

"You put the name of the

one you prefer," said Cook.
W hen a student posts the information about the book they want
to sell, it is temporarily held in
a database. Then the student
receives an email with Cook and
Maxey's contact information.
"You can either send payment

we can meet you somewhere...
One of the things w e're hoping
for is that as [the website] develops, you can pay online and (your

�Think you can do better? So did I
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
One year ago I was much like
you, reading the last issue of The
Pride and thinking, ' I could do
better.'
So I added that hideous 5 p.m.
to 10 p.m. Tuesday section to my
class schedule, and showed up
all fresh-faced and eager in the
fall, certain that I would b e The
Pride's tipping point - the one
person they needed to take the
paper from flawed to fabulous.
Thank God the writers and editors from Spring ' 04 had already
put together most of the material
for the "Welcome B ack" issue,
because as soon as Co-editorsin-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and
Mike Dolan began trying to make
story assignments I was lost in a
sea of inverted pyramids, compelling ledes, and the t errifying
realization that if I interviewed
someone for a news or features
story I would have to actually
quote them. Accurately.
I learned quickly that the place
for someone with no news writing
experience is Opinions — where
the asshole analogy lives on quite
comfortably - and thus I began
to make my mark (and reputation
- be that as it may) on The Pride.
I also volunteered to act as Copy
Editor and spent my Monday
afternoons trying desperately to
ferret out those insidious typos,
punctuation, and grammatical
errors that plague every writer
of English, and seem particularly
unique to those MLA aficionados (reborn as Pride journalists)
who find themselves having to
apply the 'and now for some-
thing completely d ifferent' A P
style - where dashes are to have
a space placed fore and a ft, and

improve The Pride.
This spring I took the leap f rom

stuff that happens on and around
our campus and less to the blockbuster entertainment that hardly

Black and Tan, it's
not lust a drink
BY PATRICK B. LONG
Pride Staff Writer
A troubling comment f rom
March has had me thinking
about the mistaken idea behind
the drink "Black and Tan." It is
has troubled me for some time
and taking the time, j ust weeks
before my trip to Ireland for the
summer, to set the story straight.
During one of my sessions of
eavesdropping j ust before St. Patrick's Day, I heard a young student commenting on his recent
sampling of a beer concoction
called "Black and Tan."
For some, taking the delicious
stout Guinness and mixing it
with any lighter beer is considered "Black and Tan." This is not
the case.
Why would I be concerned
with this drink? Well, it has a
dark history that many bartenders and patrons may not know
about.
"Black and Tan" beer alludes
to a faction of under trained and
violent English police occupying Ireland. Their u niforms were
thrown together and consisted
of dark tunics and tan pants,
giving the nickname "Black and
Tans." There violent occupation attempted to stop the Irish
Republican Army (I.R.A.) and
the freedom of Ireland.
Their
bloody
occupation
included killing a dozen spectators at a football match during the
Bloody Sunday in 1920.
The drink is originated in
Ireland, of course, and must be
combined with Bass Ale. The
misconception is that it is mixed
with Harp, another beer by Guinness. Simply, Guinness is Irish
and Bass is English, when mixed
Guinness is on top.
Two forms of thought are concerned with the mixing of these
beers. One theory states that
since the Irish beer is on top and
suppressing the English, it is a
good thing.
Second, the beer should not be
mixed with any beer f rom England and it should be enjoyed
unadulterated. For me, this is the
best route to go.

want, not what you want.)
The Pride generally consists
of about twenty staff writers maybe half of those consistently
submit stories on a weekly basis.
The editorial staff has learned
that the easiest... no, most efficient... no, likeliest way of getting writers to submit by deadline is to get them to write what
they're interested in writing.
Being part of The Pride staff is
a kind of weird quasi-job-that'sreally-a-class, where you have
the A students who work really
hard (the ones you'd promote to
the good staff writer positions
if this were a real job) and the D
students who slack off all semester and then stuff your email box
last minute with stories for points
to try and pass the class (the ones
who'd be fired for missed deadlines if this were a real job.)
As much as I have come to love
my writers who have struggled to
take their writing to the next level
over the course of the semester (you know who you are), the
camaraderie with the other editors has been the highlight of
the job; nothing brings people
together like having to show up on
campus for meetings at all hours
of the night and weekends, with
the common vision of making
The Pride something better than
it was the week before.
Which brings me back to the
original reason for writing this
piece: there is not a single one of
you or us who will ever be The
Pride's tipping point. The Pride
is a team effort. The only way
it will get better is when enough
of you lay down your critic's pen
and pick up a staff writer's or editor's pen.
This has been an extraordinary
year for The Pride: Liz and Mike
have developed a dedicated staff,
most of who will not be here next
semester. If The Pride was a
traditional publication, it would
have the benefit of staffers who
spend years developing it into
an award-winner. But The Pride
has to rely on students showing
up every semester who are willing to put in the hours necessary
each week (lots and lots of hours)
to put something worth reading in those newsstands around
campus.
So
no
more

�Jason Williams rocks Anaheim's House of Blues:
run-ins with the police fuel his lyrics
BY CHRIS KING
Pride Staff Writer
Honestly, CSUSM's own Jason
Williams has c rafted an album
with such realism and introspection that it - without question
- could rival any decent mainstream MUSIC - and not j ust
hip-hop.
Williams was known only by
his child-given moniker, Elm
Street, on Sunday May 1 when
he was center-stage at Anaheim's
House of Blues, With the poetic
interpolation of former CSUSM
student Anthony Blackshir, a /k/
a Ant Black, Elm passionately
swept the crowd with sledgehammer-like delivery through arguably the best tracks on his album
titled "Tha Hurdlez." It was evident that fiis riveting truths acted
as a beacon for the connecting
audience. Hands were above
heads in motion, and people
roared with every rhyme. Elm's
live performance was an explosive treat.
"We shut em' down," said Williams. "People were telling me
that they haven't seen someone
move the crowd like that in a long
time."
Hands down, the CD is great,
but, as it is supposed to be, it
can't touch the raw quality of a
live performance. Once the MC
made his way offstage, he was
flooded with compliments, hugs,
and handshakes f rom a variety of
fens.
The album chronicles times
good and bad, experiences with
women, a dab of sex-life, and
most importantly, the primary
message: stand up and do something about the daily hardships
and struggles of African-Americans and-minorities in modern
America.
From start to finish, Elm puts
you on an emotional roller coaster
evoking smiles, deep thought,
angst, and plenty of anger. Make
no assumptions. Elm is neither
tetchy about oppression of the
past or simply pointing his finger
at White America here, but
rather, presents inequities that he
has felt as an African-American
man headed^ in a positive direction. On one exceptional track
"This Is Me," Elm spits raspy fire
in a verse to make people aware
of his harassment f rom crooked
police while attending a community college in Riverside. Out he
raps: "Po Po (police) run up on me
point their gats, screaming freeze
while I 'm facing their straps, one
false move a nTll viciously react,
I hate cops but not cause of the

on, asked to see my ID, I act like

wrong move he opened the door
start swinging like M ike..."
"Being a Black man in America is a struggle everyday" said
Williams, "I want to be the next
Malcolm X and I want to set a
p'ositive example for black people,
especially young kids who are up
and coming."
Surprisingly, the
album's
Y O U W A N T ONE H OME.
soundscape is pretty nice considering a limited budget and the
fact the he worked five jobs and
attended school full-time while
putting this piece together. Elm's
changing lyrical tone throughout
the album brilliantly meshes with
his clever metaphors and humor.
His beats are h is very own west
coast sound better known as
"Thunder Funk." The tracks
range from smooth with "Circles" to head-banging rugged
with "Westcoast Slide."
"I call it thunder f unk because
it's just thunderous.. .its j ust Riverside's very own sound," said
Williams
It is clear why he kept the unchosen name that he hated as a
boy, Elm Street. Williams got
this name because of his Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Freddy
Krueger-like behavior when in
school. Last semester, a r un i n
with police cost him graduation
and a track scholarship f rom
which he depended on financially. Elm Street is fitting for all
the dark times Williams has had
throughout his life.
Get the album. It's pure talent
and it is real as it comes.
Williams sells copies of
his album and can be contacted at: 909-816-3448 or

Filled with exuberant guitar riffs, and a subtle
and tasteful piano—that is the most concise way
to describe Copeland's new CD "In Motion."
Copeland, hailing f rom Florida and other
parts of the East Coast, Copeland's lead singer
Aaron Marsh has been enveloped in the Florida music scene for quite some time. As well as
being the lead singer, Marsh also plays over half
of the bands instruments, including the guitar,
piano, mellotron, and organ.
The new CD is filled with quiet and subtle
tones that are all too real when coupled with
Marsh's soft serenading voice. With tracks such
as "Sleep" which is very heavy in piano to tracks
like "No One Really Wins" a nonstop rock song,
it seems that listeners can get a wide variety of
songs, from one extremely talented group. Even
when you finish the ten song LP, you'll be waiting for more, but sadly to say there is none, at
least not for now.
The diversity in the CD will simply amaze
you as you skip from track to track, each time
finding a new and ever evolving array of songs.
After signing with the independent label The
Militia Group, Copeland has been touring nonstop all around the U.S. The band's CD is good,
but if you get a chance to see them live, jump at
it, it will be one of the best shows you've gone
to in awhile.

Heather Hoffman interviews Billy Bob Thornton
THE PRIDE
i
"Bad News Bears"
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Billy Bob Thornton promises
this summer's release of "Bad
News Bears" will be an edgy
comedy with something for
everyone.
In a phone interview, Thornton
said the movie - a remake of the
1976 classic starring Walter Matthau - is "funny as hell. We hope
that we are just going to entertain
people with it."
Thornton, seen recently in
"Bad Santa," and "Friday Night
Lights," reprises Matthau's role
as Coach Buttermaker, a former
minor league baseball player and
heavy drinker, who takes money
to coach the Bears, a team of
untalented little leaguers.
The movie follows the team
through the season as they struggle to win. Although they may
not be the most talented little
league team, the Bears have heart
and that proves to be enough to
get them to the championship
game that will be played against
their rivals the Yankees.
'"Bad News Bears' is pretty
much the same movie in terms of
tone as the original movie with
Walter Matthau," Thornton said.
"It is a comedy that is a family
comedy but still kind of pushes it
to the edge in terms of the humor
Image courtesy of Paramount Pictures
and the language and things like
that."
"It is not like a movie that is
going to change the world or
anything," said Thornton, "but
a movie that might make people
kind of think about themselves
and their kids a bit more and realize that not every kid can be the
best at something, but if you try
hard maybe you will be better
than you thought you were."
When asked how he felt about
playing Matthau's character,
Thornton said, "It always makes
you a little nervous when you
are reprising someone's role. He
(Matthau) was one of my favorites. I always loved Walter Matthau and I actually knew him,"
said Thornton.
"I just wish he had been around
to see what we did here because
I think we tried to update it and
modernize it a little bit but we
tried to keep the integrity of the
original movie," said Thornton.
"I think he (Matthau) would have
been pretty proud."
This isn't the first time Thornton has played a coach. He also
played Coach Gary Gaines in
2004's "Friday Night Lights."
"I don't mind playing a coach,"

said Thornton. "I always wanted
to be a teacher so this gives me an
opportunity to do that."
Thornton was attracted to Buttermaker because, "I like characters who seem to be sort of
on the edge of life and kind of
learn something along the way
to improve their lives somehow,"
he said. "He (Buttermaker) was
kind of a loser who hooks up with
some other losers and together
they kind of feel a little bit more
like winners."
Playing a coach gave Thornton
a chance to work with kids.
"I always have f un with kids,"
he said. "They (the kids) were
perfectly cast and really good
kids."
"They were pretty wild and
they needed to be for the movie,"
said Thornton. "They also were
not great baseball players - which
we also needed - but they were
all good enough to where as the
movie went along they got better
at it, which is the way it happens
in the movie."
"Bad News Bears" is directed
by Richard (Rick) Linklater who
also directed "School of Rock."
"Rick was really determined
to keep the original vibe of his
movie and I think he did a great
job," said Thornton.
"Rick
tried to keep it a little down
low because the original movie
in a lot of ways, kind of had an
independent film feel to it," said
Thornton.
This film was written by Glen
Ficarra and John Requa who
wrote "Bad Santa," which also
starred Thornton.
This film also stars Greg Kinnear ("Stuck on You") and Marcia
Gay Harden ("Mystic River") and
many other new young stars.
"Bad News Bears" is scheduled for release on July 22. For

Alfred Chu interviews Tom Cruise
BY ALFRED CHU
For The Pride
And so it b egins...the summer blockbuster movies. With a bigger audience in
the summer come bigger movies. In an
effort to promote one of those movies, Tom
Cruise granted a conference call interview
with several college newspapers f rom
around the country to discuss the highly
anticipated remake "War of the Worlds."
Cruise is working with the master and
possible pioneer of special effects, director Steven Spielberg once again to tell the
story based on the H.G. Well's novel.
"War of the Worlds" is about Ray Ferrier
(Cruise), a working class family man who
shelters himself f rom his family. When the
unexpected and unthinkable attack and
invasion by aliens happens, he must save
his family and fight for survival. Also starring is Dakota Fanning and Tim Robbins.
"Fanning is great," said Cruise. "She is
a very talented actress. Just personally, a
sweetheart and funny. We laughed a lot." 7
"Ray is a guy who is the total opposite of
who I am. He doesn't t ake responsibility
for his children. He is not taking responsibility for his family or the f uture. But I
understand Ray because I have lived in
those kinds of blue collar areas growing
up. I went to many different schools," said
Cruise.
It was the sudden delay of Spielberg's
and Cruise's other f uture projects that
caused this film to be greenlighted. Similar to their past films, "War of the Worlds"
contains all the genres of film and there-

fore welcomes all types of audiences.
"I most definitely enjoy communicating
to audiences," said Cruise. " I make movies
for audiences. I definitely want them to see
it. But I do believe that films have different audiences. A picture such as "Collateral" is not going to have the same kind of
broad audience as a picture of "War of the
Worlds" or "Mission Impossible" or "Magnolia." But I do believe it is important to
try to get that film out to that audience that
is going to appreciate it and wants to see a
movie like that," said Cruise.
With two of Hollywood's talented artists teaming up yet again (the last project
Spielberg and Cruise worked on together
was "Minority Report"), an estimated
budget of $128 million, plus the score of
John Williams and the screenplay of David
Koepp (Jurassic Park), a critical and financial success is sure to follow.
"War of the Worlds" invades theaters
on June 29. To check out the trailer, go to:

who have read HGG, as will the large

onto the screen. The plot is fairly t rue
to the novel, and slight departures don't
annoy or distract.
The brain-ticking
laughs caused by direct quotations of
the text will have HGG f ans gasping for

as directed by Monty Python.'
A nd if you've enjoyed none of that y ou'll
still deserve a lobotomy for missing this,
one of the most r efreshing things I 've seen
in some time. Of course, with the novel
released more than 20 years ago, it was a
long t ime coming. Hollywood's decadelong (give or take) creative drought likely
had more to do with HGG being m ade now
than any noble patience in the vein of ' let's
not do it till we can do it right.'
The author o f the original book was a
key figure in production, which is good,
most o ften essential, ESPECIALLY when
the book is considered a staple of nerd culture. I 'm not sure how many copies this
s eries'(that's right, series, a big pungent
$ word) has sold thus f ar or whether the
number will justifiably double before the
y ear's out, but I do know that I 've been recommended it for a decade, and t hat's a fter
seeing it on T-shirts.
A nd if a book on a t-shirt w asn't enough
of an anomaly, we now have a great film of
that book"that values props over CGI.
T hat's right, with hardly t he slightest
taint of nostalgia, H GG shows that first
rate r ubber molds beat second rate silicon
chips any day, not that any of the e ffects
are second rate.
Another r efreshing aspect is that it is
truly, though likely not by design, one for
pupae and fossil alike. Randyness is minimal, but noisy larvae will j ust make you
miss what isn't already muted by lingering
laughter. I enjoy probably more than my
f air share of glorified violence and hyper
sexuality, but if there ever was a chance to
reach out to someone who enjoys nothing
else, the shared misanthropic core might
j ust b e the ticket. Sure there's some mushy
corn toward the end, and the sleazy nonhero has b een overdone, but geeks and grotesque alien monsters need love too, right?
Providing any k ind of synopsis would r uin
a film so defined by its surprises, but I
will tell you not to get too caught upr in t he
s tunning e ffects as the wit and insights hit

recycling
Campus earns a top spot in
nationwide contest
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM is considered one of the best universities in the nation when it comes to recycling.
For the past 10 weeks, CSUSM has competed with universities from all across the
country, including Harvard, Yale, and UC
Davis in Recyclemania. This is the first time
CSUSM has entered the competition and has
a very good chance of winning the recycling
rate category this year.
The official results will be announced
April 15; at the last count CSUSM was winning and about 3.30 percent ahead of second
place.

On Monday, April 11, the Progressive

Advertised by green balloons (forest, not

The CSUSM University Police Department
offers classes in Rape Aggression Defense
(RAD) for women. RAD instructs women to
understand the risk of sexual assault and how
to defend themselves against aggressors in the
event they are attacked.
"The goal of RAD is to teach risk awareness,
risk reduction, risk avoidance and risk recognition," said Office Carla Kuamoo, coordinator of the bi-annual class offered at CSUSM in
April and October.
The 12 hour course is broken up into multiple of days throughout the week and is open
to women at Cal State San Marcos and women
in the community.
"The course offers women great understanding and gives them empowerment," said
Kuamoo when asked why women should take
this course.
"Ninety percent of avoiding an attack is
to be aware of your surroundings," she said.
Kuamoo said that women who take this course
will be able to take care of themselves and will

KuamOo said, "Women are used to being
nice and sometimes nice isn't good."
The April 4-8 session there were five
women in the class. On Friday April 8, the
women had a chance to practice all the skills
they had learned.
All of the women participating wanted to
remain anonymous but encouraged other
women to participate in the RAD program.
"I feel so confidant now. I feel safe walking through a parking lot and if anything does
happen I can take action," said one student
participant, "women in general have been
victimized - once you do the program you
will feel so much more powerful."
Another student participant said, "I recommend this for all women. I feel more powerful and in control. Anyone who goes through
this program will learn so many techniques
and it doesn't matter how tall or big you are
- you will be able to defend yourself. I'm
only 5 foot 2 inches and now I can take down
someone who is 6 feet (tall) "
"I'm not a victim that someone can take
advantage of," said another student participant.
All of the women interviewed said that the
program not only taught defense skills but
created new friendships.

RAD is an internationally recognized organization for women's self defense. According
to their website, "RAD is the only self defense
program ever endorsed by the International
Association of Campus Law Enforcement
Administrators (IACLEA)."
Locally, RAD classes are held twice a
year at the Clarke Field House and costs $20
a person. The benefit of membership means
women can return anytime anywhere RAD
classes are held to either refresh their skills or
to add their experience to the class.
"RAD is the only existing program with a
f ree lifetime return and practice policy, honored throughout both the.US and Canada"
according to the RAD website.
CSUSM Police Sergeant Dan Koehler has
been teaching defensive training for police
officers for 15 years, but this RAD session is
his first time participating in a female only
class.
"It's f un to watch people come in that don't
know each other or they don't think they can
do this and then by the end of the class they're
socking pretty hard," said Koehler.
Kuamoo said that the Cal State San Marcos
chapter of RAD is currently looking for sponsors to help lower the cost of the student fee
so that more college women can attend.
Koehler said that this kind of training is
essential for women. He said that the program really needs additional funding because
the campus police station paid for the equipment used by the RAD program, but cannot
afford to replace or purchase anymore. Koehler said the cost of one bodysuit is $1,200.

classes is available at the university police

MEChA remembers
Cesar Chavez
Student organization holds vigil for workers right leader
E
BY FELIPE ZANARTU
For The Pride
In memory of Cesar Chavez,
a large diverse group of about
40 students, friends and family
gathered at Chavez Plaza on
Thursday, April 7 for a vigil
to remember Cesar Chavez.
The Movimiento Estudiantil
Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA)
sponsored and organized the
event held from 4:30 to 6 p.m.
and featured guest speaker
Adrian Alvarez, a long time
activist and labor organizer.
Adrian Alvarez spoke of
Cesar Chavez as a person. He
spoke of his dignity.
"He was dignity! That was
his charisma and that was his
power," said Alvarez.
Chavez is best known as
the former leader and founder
of the United Farm Workers Union. According to the
United Farm Workers website,
Chavez worked to improve
the living and working conditions of farm workers from the
1960's through the early 1990's
by getting migrant workers to
organize and demand change.
His tactics to induce social
change included hunger strikes
and non-violent protests like
those of Gandhi and Martin
Luther King Jr.
"Soldiers didn't give women
the right to vote, the civil rights
movement, affirmative action,
migrant rights, or the 40 hour
work week. It was the work of
radicals like Chavez, Dolores
Huerta, Malcolm X and Martin

Adrian Alvarez (center) talks bout the life & achievements of
Cesar Chavez
Luther King Jr.," said Alvarez
in speaking about the type of
work Chavez did for Chicanos.
"This campus does not
have a sense of community.
This reminds us of the continuing struggle we are in,"
said MEChA President Irene
Gomez.
In Alvarez's speech he spoke
of community as, "not a place,
but as an attitude, a value, and
a way of behaving."
"To build community we
plan to start here a Chavez
plaza with social gatherings.
We'll have music, poetry, and
even guest speakers. If we
can't get a culture center we
must start one ourselves," said
Gomez after Alvarez finished
speaking. MEChA has been
pushing to have a Chicano
studies program and a culture
center here on campus.
The vigil included personal
testaments of admiration
towards Chavez. Many held
lit candles in his honor while
others read quotes from Cesar
Chavez out loud. The event
was concluded by traditional
work songs and chants of inspiration. The songs and chants
included, "Viva los chicanos",
"Viva el pueblo", "Viva Cesar
Chavez", and "VIVA!"
Chavez is held in high regard
by many students here at
CSUSM. Every year MEChA
organizes a vigil in his honor.
"Cesar Chavez is an inspiration to all people of the United
States, n o only because of his
nonviolent protest, but because
of the determination he has
toward his people," said student Agustin Zavala.
California honors his birthday on Cesar Chavez Day.
Cesar Chavez day is celebrated
on March 31or the Monday or
Friday nearest that date.

Cesar Chavez can be found at:

"We're very consistent (over the
10 weeks) while other schools have
had very high spikes in their numbers," said Carl Hanson of Facility
Services.
According to Hanson, the lowest
percentage from the 10 weeks
during the contest is dropped so
anything can happen when the totals
are calculated. He feels CSUSM has
a pretty good chance of winning.
"It doesn't seem likely we'll drop
below second," said Hanson.
The recycling rate category is one
of two categories that schools can
win through Recyclemania. The
recycling rate is a measure of the
percent of recyclables vs. the percent of trash. The other category
per capita (or per person) is more
focused towards universities with
dorms and high populations of students living on campus.
CSUSM chose to enter in the
recycling rate category because
there isn't a large population of students living on campus or a large
food area that would produce many
recyclables.
"The university should be really
proud if we win because it reflects
everyone," Hanson said, "it will
mean that we're the best in the
nation."
The Recyclemania website states
that the main goal of the competition is to increase student awareness of campus recycling and help
each participating university make
achievements in recycling and
waste reduction.
CSUSM has a strong recycling
program due to the efforts of Facility Services, the Green Team and
the campus population.
The Green team works, "to raise
the awareness of recycling on
campus," said Hanson.
He said that he believes that when
most people leave CSUSM they are
recycling more than they were when
they arrived. He also remarked that
the staff was particularly mindful
to recycle.
"The staff is good about recycling, it's become part of their culture," said Hanson.
* When students choose to recycle
they are doing more than helping
their school win a competition, they
are helping the environment.
"I recycle more on campus than
I do anywhere else," said communication major Katie Powers, "it's
so convenient because they place
recycle bins everywhere."
"Since CSUSM is such a new
school and not really reputable in
anything, programs like Recyclemania are good because they give us
a chance to be nationally recognized," said Powers.
"I think it's (Recyclemania) great
for the community of San Marcos,"
said business major and Bluff clothing owner Joe Collins, "This shows
the students have the ability to
make change and to make the world
a better place."
"Reduce, reuse, recycle and close
the loop," Collins said.
"I didn't even know Recyclemania was going on," said liberal studies major Lauren McPhearson, "I
think it's cool that we have a chance
to be the best in the nation, even if
it's in recycling."
One of the things students can
do to improve recycling on campus
is to recycle the plastic Starbucks
cups. The plastic Starbucks cups
are very often found in the trash
and the cups are recyclable as are
the cardboard sleeves that go on the
cups.

SHS is available for an initial

a counselor or psychiatrist. Students are urged to take advantageof the counseling services available at CSUSM Counseling and

located in the same office as
SHS.
"Depression and anxiety goes
along with advanced eating disorders," said Blattner.
Currently there are no programs specific to eating disorders. Any new programs will be
advertised on SHS website.
"If anyone feels like they want

The bestfeeling of
your life.., or death
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
It's probably the most exhilarating thing you will ever do. You

pumping. She screams louder
than anything you've ever heard.
At least that's what happens when
I get on Kiley, my Yamaha YZFR6.
Spring is in the air and all the
motorcycles are coming out of
their restless winter dens and
sprinting around town. There is
a certain aspect of respect when
you jump on something that can
either give you the best feeling
of your life, or death. There is no
better way to release all that pent
up aggression from endless days
at school than taking a nice sunset

people out there. I guess it goes
hand and hand when there is only
about a handful of motorcyclists
in a sea of cars.
If you are thinking about partaking in the joyous occasion of
motorcycling, there are a few
ground rules that you need to get
down before you jump on one of
these things. First is just get the
training, make sure you have the
proper licensing to ride.
Second, if you are a beginner
know your limits and capabilities. There are all types of bikes
ranging from small 250cc road
bikes to the lOOOcc race bikes.
All the bikes are designed for specific purposes and if you want to
learn the right way, get a smaller
engine bike. Plus if you play your
cards right you'll be able to run
circles around the guys that had
to start on the biggest and baddest thing on the market. Don't
forget that there is always time
for upgrades!
Finally, wear the right gear.
There are so many times that
people lay their bikes down and
get all torn up just because they

�Earnings potential
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
For The Pride
Already sour for returning
from a working spring break,
the last thing we need to see is
another fee increase. Now, I can
understand paying for other people's children, I didn't support it,
but I can understand it.
A 'pave the dirt lot' fee. A
'chair repair' fee. A 'hire more
teachers' fee.
Sure, sounds reasonable.
'Pay for students to do here
what they can do in their local
park or gym.'
I'm still trying to breathe
evenly.
Maybe it isn't about turning another academic institution into a place where people
who want to advance the potential of humanity are mixed with
kids who dream of getting MILLIONS of dollars to throw a ball
around. Maybe we just need to
bring in some bleachers to ease
our budget woes, hey, San Diego
built a stadium and all their
problems are drifting away.
Breathe; it's just like building
a gym or a track...
Except we have those already.
Now, don't go assuming that
I don't enjoy watching physical
competition, it's great exercise
and lucrative to boot, I mean, so
much money, imagine if it went
to facilitate education rather
than fantasies of small fortunes
earned for shit-eating smiles
next to shit-tasting stocks, imagine. ..
Physical competition is great,
but only if the goal is injury or
death.
Sports are nothing but sad supplements for the good old days
when if you wanted to prove
you were the bigger man you
did it with a piece of metal, not
rubber. Before you go calling
anyone who doesn't watch ESPN
a whiney weakling, look up the
differences in earning potential
between someone in the NFL
and someone in the USMC.
Sure, I'm bitter. Jocks get
more pussy than me...but so do
dykes. And I guarantee neither
of those terms offers as much
offense as the very idea of you
paying more tuition so that a
sissy like me can clack wood
sticks and balls around a neatly
trimmed lawn. All you people
who voted for the fee increase,
I demand you offer two of your
own for afightto the death every
semester.
Give me my damn money's
worth for my priceless education.

Cultural absorbtion on campus
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
Differentiating between areas is like
drinking a non-alcoholic beer; it just
gets you no where fast. Whilst spending some time at the University of Colorado, Boulder I realized that it is not
just the fact that people are indeed different, but there surroundings incorporate the differences that relinquish the
pains of everyday life.
While roaming the campus and
trying to take in as much as one can
in a short period of time, the fascinations of the many were dwindled down
to mere scrapings, overwhelmed by the
everyday politics that engulf the everyday journey of the mind engrossed in a
battle with the body.
Despite the task at hand, where
everyone tries to fit in and be recognized in their own special ways among
a civilization of ever progressing technology; it seems that the different areas
of the world are so intrigued with all
are iPods and laptops that we can't take
a simple break and recollect about the
differences in cultures.
I understand that every person living
their life can simply stroll through and
be at odds when the end comes, but
while strolling there comes a point
when we ask ourselves whether or not
life can coexist with other life. Why do
we judge in miles and kilometers when
the real difference is nothing more than
a change in structure and order that
eventually combines with one another
and relates a more cataclysmic process
of eventuality?
There are some things that are just
left up to science and can no longer
be explained by simple logic and an
understanding of the human relationship with nature and our ever-progressing complexities. But there are things
left that we can work on.
We can try and combine our knowledge of science and understanding
and relay that knowledge to a sort of
togetherness that our modern day
times of shunning and cell phone
jammed streets has created. Be it just a
simple hello or a meaningful conversation with different people from different areas of the world it seems that life
and its coexisting relationships would
better themselves once experienced in
a different point of view.
I'm not saying that all cultures
jshpuld coexist peacefully and to drop
your thoughts and join a national religion or thought process, but to simply
broaden those horizons and take the
alternate path.
Recently I listened to some country
music, which in broadening horizons
is a relatively small feat to accomplish,
but I actually liked some of it. It was
just my negligence to acquire such
hatred in country when I had never
taken part in the actual listening and
understanding of the music. If everyone just opened up and looked at things
from a different perspective there
would be much less fear in other cultures and much more consideration for
things we take for granted everyday.
Don't just walk around with your
mocha latte and fret over the ever
increasing rainforest deprivation, do
something about it.
So the next time you hear of a trip
or an opportunity, jump at it, even if it
turns out that you hated it, at least now
you'll iiave proof and a strong argument for the reasons you have.

�The SB5 debate on campus
was quite the eye opening experience. I was completely prepared
to hear ludicrous arguments from
both Senator Morrow and Luann
Wright claiming that students
are being indoctrinated by their
professors. I was even prepared
to hear some sort of explanation
as to why students were blatantly
called "immature" in the text of
the bill. Although, the Senator's
gracious willingness to remove
the word immature hardly will
deduct from the conservative
nature of the bill or the insinuation that students are mindless
sheep who simply regurgitate
information. I for one have definitely honed in on my critical
thinking skills since embarking
on my college experience. However, what I did not expect from
the two speakers whom I had
considered wrong, but entitled to
a certain amount of respect was
two extremely prejudiced references. Among the Senator's list
of groups that might be opposed
to the bill was "fairies" while
Luann used the phrase "colored
people" several times. Call me
naive for thinking that at the very
least they would refrain from
publicly spewing such blasphemy

audience of students. Perhaps we
should propose a bill that prevents
politicians from "indoctrinating." I certainly don't want to be

these two speakers, a few of the
audience members got out of

and duct taped demonstration of

to harass and belittle fellow students and one person went so
far as to flip off a professor in

shouted words of sexual harassment. If students truly feel they

that their viewpoints are being

THE PRIDE
Worship:
a reality check
BY ALFRED CHU
For The Pride
"American Idol" embraces the
American Dream: being rich,
famous and living the good life. It
may be arrogant thinking because
everyone in the world longs for
that ideal. But where's the reality
behind this reality show?
"American Idol" is simply a
genius marketing strategy. Their
tagline, "The Search for a Superstar," gives the impression that
anyone can make it big, while
thousands of wishful thinkers
line up to audition. But when
does reality kick in? When judges
Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and
especially Simon Cowell give
their criticism. Hearts are broken
or spirits are lifted.
Simon is the show; he carries the show; he's the twist. His
brutal honestly is worth waiting
through the commercials that air
everyfiveminutes. Paula says the
same thing over and over. Randy's slang is nothing new.
As for the contestants, it's
stressful, tiring and you couldn't
cut the nervousness with a chainsaw. The true winner of the show
is the female who became the
first person to. voluntarily quit.
She made it to Hollywood but
missed her son so much, she said,
"It's different now, I'm a mother."
That was very commendable.
After each round, more hopefuls are sent home. In the end,
a winner is chosen, a contract is
signed and albums are ready to be
sold. Sounds easy doesn't it? Let's
hope the winner doesn't take the
road less traveled yet again (e.g.
"From Justin to Kelly").
The best part of the show is the
auditions. The worst of the worst
beg for a second chance and
when denied, they cry or occasionally throw water at Simon.
My question is: do they actually think they can sing? They
claim their friends and relatives
encourage and praise their singing but don't they know it's called
"being nice?" You don't need the
resumes of the judges to tell the
great singers from the people that

�Subliminal screaming
satiates "Slipknot" supporters
BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI
Pride Staff Writer
Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six.
Six. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two.
One. Simon says: "Jump in the
fucking air!"
Okay, so it wasn't Simon, it
was lead vocalist, Corey Taylor,
of Slipknot.
The band played Friday night at
Cox Arena at SDSU and though
the show did not sell out, you
wouldn't be able to tell from the
looks of things.
The arena was filled with
the most loyal maggots of
the metal group and when
Taylor told the audience
to sit on the floor just
so that everyone could
jump up together, nearly
every person obliged.
The nine member
group (Taylor, percussionist Chris Fehn and
Shawn "Clown" Crahan,
drummer Joey Jordison,
DJ Sid Wilson, bassist Paul
Grey, guitarists James Root and
Mick Thompson, and sampler/
programmer Craig Jones) put on
an energetic show, mainly featuring songs from their latest album,
"The Subliminal Verses."
Popular songs such as "Duality" had practically the entire
audience screaming (well, technically singing) "I
push my fingers
into my eyes!" But the audience
still had a taste for such old favorites as "Spit It Out."
Slipknot put on an elaborate show, with various lighting
effects, smoke, and video presentations going on two screens
on each
^
side of the
stage. But
t he
most spectacular presentation
had to do with their percussion
instrumentals.
This is where Fehn could be
spotted banging on a suspended
drum set with a baseball bat.
Okay, so it wasn't really a drum
set. Try empty kegs strapped
together. These antics are not
to be confused with the talents
of Jordison, who had a minutes
long drum solo smack dab in the
middle of the set.
Jordison confidently showed
off his skills on a full drum
set that was placed on a
rotating stage. As he
played, the platform
directly
underneath
him turned and even
raised in the air. As if
•
that wasn't enough, when

its maximum height, it

Jordison was playing completely sideways. That's
when the platform started

Fans suffer " The Massacre"
BY CHRIS KING
Pride Staff Writer
Fifty's followers must be
lamenting the fact that this album
should have been sold on late
night infomercials.
Its name couldn't have been
chosen more perfectly: it's clearly
a massacre.
With all the hoopla and trash
talking, 50 has still flopped. He
is now rich and he hasn't died,
yet he refuses to abandon all the
violence, which festers throughout damn near his entire album,
including the cover. All the high
profile producers on this mess
failed to carry 50's horrendously
dull and immature lyrics that as
previously mentioned, promote
violence and diss other rappers
with much better albums.
On the track "How To Rob"
he attempts to lyrically bludgeon
unmatched contenders Nas and
Fat Joe. Big mistake! Fat Joe's

retort wasn't much better, but his
lack of effort still surpasses 50's
weak diss. It wouldn't be surprising if Nas remains humble and
doesn't even bother to initiate
retaliation. Battling over wax is
fine, but 50 should make certain
that he backs it up with something other than a collection of
mindless and cacophonous crap.
Fear factor can put "The Massacre" to use: whoever listens
longest wins 25 grand. Twenty
tracks are just exhausting. To
make matters better, the special edition—an even bigger
rip off—features an extended
version of "Hate It or Love It,"
which is a track originally from
the album of former G-unit

This album exudes no artistic

language and loyalty of the mob, he passes a

Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) in "American History X " claims the number three
spot. Having his father killed by a minority,
he turns to hatred and racism. You'd think
with his intelligence, he'd be smart enough
not to. But having his own people turn on
him in prison in the worst possible way, it
broke him. The most dramatic events in his
life changes the course of his thinking, as it
does for us. Given the ending, you wonder if
he'll stay the course or change his thinking
yet again.
My number two spot is occupied by two
characters but the same actor. It is Kevin
Spacey for Roger "Verbal" Kint in "The
Usual Suspects" and John Doe in "Seven."
Both characters are equally manipulative
with a master plan so flawless that their egos
aren't required to beat all odds. It's ironic to
note that Verbal addresses "someone" as the
devil and Doe addresses "someone" as God.
The best of the best, the number one spot
and the greatest villain of all time is none
other than Hannibal Lector (Anthony Hopkins). Knowing he has a life sentence, why
does he continue to help the police find
another serial killer? He is so two-faced that
sometimes we don't know which side we are
seeing. He is a sophisticated gentleman who
loves art and the symphony, but on the other
hand, he eats people. And he only eats rude
people, isn't that a contradiction? His mind
has so many depths that a lifetime wouldn't
be long enough to comprehend it.
Those are my top five. Obviously
for reasons of length, I could only
explain five. Also female villains
belong in a separate rank. Please
email me at chu013@csusm.edu if
you have any favorites for follow
3p.

"Fever
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Love and baseball are two of
the most perfect things every created.
When you combine the two
you get a romantic comedy that's
perfect for the summer.
Ben (Jimmy Fallon) is involved
in two relationships: one with his
girlfriend Lindsey (Drew Barrymore), and the other with his
favorite baseball team the Boston
Red Socks.
"Fever Pitch" is a movie about
what happens when the two most
important parts of Ben's life collide.
Lindsey has dated all the wrong
men. When she meets Ben she
thinks her luck is changing. She
thinks he's perfect.
Then baseball season starts.
Lindsey knew Ben was baseball fan, but she has no idea Ben
is a Red Socks fanatic. A fan
watches baseball; a fanatic lives
it. To a Red Socks fanatic, Socks
baseball is a passion, not just a
sport.
As the Red Socks inch closer
to a world championship (this is
a huge deal because they haven't
done it in 86 years, thanks to the
curse), Ben finds it very hard to
balance time with his team and
time with his girlfriend.
When Ben and Lindsey's relationship starts to struggle they
turn to their friends for help.
Both Lindsey and Ben have a
great group of friends.
Lindsey's friends are trying to
figure out what Ben's problem
is, because they honestly don't
believe any man could be so perfect.
Ben's friends contribute to his
baseball obsession. They are just
as crazy as he is so they encourage him to put baseball first and
he fails
his Lindsey second.
The friends are really a high- to deliver.

be that funny in the movies? He and all. (What made him think
has such potential, but in movies that was a good idea?)
The only real flaw with the
movie is the ending, it's a little
rushed and predictable. Luckily the rest of the film is
strong enough you can
forgive them for having a weak
ending.
Red Socks fans will always
remember 2004 because after 86
years of broken hearts they finally
got a World Championship. This
movie is a cute way to document
that and maybe let non-baseball
fans in on this special history.
This is a cute romantic
comedy; a chick flick
that will
appeal to men.
Since love and baseball often
spark passion between people,
this is a winning combination for
alove story.
