CFA u p i n a rms
Faculty Association holds informational picket for a fair contract from CSU chancellor
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
On Monday, in the library
plaza, CSUSM professors
took part in informational
picketing as they made their
first public step against
CSU Chancellor Charles
Reed and his administration. Armed with signs that
read, "Stop the Ripoffs!"
"Roll Back Student Fee
Hikes!" "Teaching: an art,
not just a job." "Fair Contract!" professors of all doctrines held a common goal:
to have their voice heard and
their actions acknowledged
by the CSU administration,
the legislator and Governor
Arnold
Schwarzenegger,
for the sake of education on
every level.
As the president of the
San Marcos chapter for the
California Faculty Association, Dr. Janet Powell was
among the 50 professors.
According to Dr. Powell,
professors in the CSU
system are 18% behind in
salary compared to professors out of state. In trying
to keep up with California's
cost of living without any
recent significant raises
in salary proposals, most
professors across the CSU
system have decided that
they are no longer able to
comply and instead, they
are aiming to go on strike.
"For the past 19 months,
the CFA has been out of
contract negotiations with
the Chancellors Office," Dr.
Powell said. "They refused
to come back to the bargaining table."
According to the CFA,
in July 2005, the salary
increase of CSU executives
was 19.4%. The CSU faculty
raise was 3.5%.
Since 2002, the CSU
administration
and the
board of trustees have raised
student fees by 76%. The
administration has plans
to increase the fees by 10%
through 2010.
Additionally, there are
1,000 administrators in
the CSU who earn over
$100,000 each year. Most
professors earn less money
in a year than what adminSee CFA, page 3

Zeta Beta
Tau
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Among the new additions to
Cal State San Marcos this spring
is the men's fraternity, Zeta Beta
Tau. Yesterday, ZBT representatives visited CSUSM in hopes
of encouraging young men to
become the founding fathers
of the CSUSM chapter as they
immerse themselves in leadership roles and have some f un
along the way.
ZBT is the oldest and largest Jewish fraternity and it is
significantly the only fraternity:
CSUSM has invited to become a
part of the school since the initial
invitations a decade ago. The fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon and
sororities Alpha Chi Omega and
Alpha Xi Delta were the first to
arrive at CSUSM.
For over 50 years, ZBT has
been a non-sectarian fraternity. Director of Chapter Affairs
Laurence Bolotin says, "ZBT is
proud of its history but it is not a
religious organization."

In what used to be the old CSUSM library, all those in Cougar Central have now set up shop. In
one convenient place renovated for the sake of students, one can find the Enrollment Services
Information Center, Student Financial Services and Registration and Records. Just outside of
Cougar Central (Craven Hall 3900) is the newly renovated Tukwut Courtyard. Tukwut, pronounced
"TOOK-woot" is the Luiseno word for cougar. The only way for students to enter Cougar Central
is to go through Tukwut Courtyard. Service hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through
Friday. Extended hours, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, will take place through the
add/drop period which ends February 2.

really, it's THAT powerful. But
with yielding such power comes
great responsibility, the responsibility to act. As impeccable as
the Pride may be ;) we can't possibly cover every issue that needs

cover your event, or if we favor
the campus coffee cart over Starbucks, or if Jock Talk With Josh

t hink your name in the hands of
thousands of fellow students,
that's better access than even
your Myspace bulletin board, and
without the threat of a v irus or

Letter from the Editor in Chief
then I became the Business
Manager, and now I will be
assuming the roll of Managing Editor of the paper. Now
enough about me and onward to
The Pride.
I've really enjoyed my past
experiences with The Pride and
expect nothing less f rom this
coming year. The Pride has certainly struggled throughout its
existence here at CSUSM, but
I believe that given our limited
resources (at one point we had
j ust six editors and five contributing writers!), The Pride has
been successful in its e fforts
to produce a paper that is continually progressing in its quality. Here at The Pride we strive
to provide the people of this
campus with the essential, as
well as relevant information
regarding this school, while
at the same time serving as a
voice of the students. Not to
forget our e fforts to entertain,
whether it's through our "Saved
By The Bell" crossword puzzle
or our horoscopes f rom Ms.
Moondream. All in all we hope
to put out a u seful student newspaper, with the ' student' aspect
emphasized.
Thi$ brings me, to my; plea f ^r
the students here at CSUSM to
join in our efforts here at The
Pride. I would like this paper to
continue to do what it does well,
but also improve on the areas
where it is lacking. For example,
I believe the paper has done a
great j ob expanding its coverage of our sports program over
this past semester, but now I
would like for us to cover more
activities within the arts department. Changes like this will
occur throughout the paper, and
I believe we can all benefit from
your input. As we hope to put
out a paper that's informative,
interesting and entertaining to
our readers, your thoughts and
opinions are really important.
By knowing what you, the readers, are looking for in our paper,
we can better provide. So how
about it? Lend us your thoughts
at pride@csusm.edu. Alright
well good luck this semester and
I hope to hear from you.
Jason Encabo
For the rest of you, we have a
lot to look forward to this semester. Much has changed over the
break. The campus has r eorganized itself utilizing the 3rd floor
of Craven Hall for student services. Even the Pride relocated
(CRA3500) and our new pad
is really sweet, please feel f ree
to come by to hang out and see
what's going on.
As for the Pride, Jason Encabo
(our newly appointed Managing
Editor) and myself are hoping to
implement video stories through
The Pride Online, we are even
planning to showcase student
work/films (again if interested:
pride@csusm.edu). The Sports
section really took off last semester, in large part due to Kyle
Trembley's incredible coverage,
and we can look forward to Baseball, Softball, Golf and Track and
Field coverage this semester. We
have integrated comics and crossword puzzles into each issue,
which hopefully you have found
to be enjoyable. Also, Amanda
Andreen has stepped up to become
The Pride's new Feature's Editor,
expect some great features stories
about student life in the coming
issues. All together the staff at
The Pride started off fresh last
semester and they have all really
started to find their voice. I, for
one, can't wait to see where they
take the paper this semester.
As for you, thank you for reading and continue to write to us.
This is truly your paper and if we
aren't serving you the way you
would like, let Us know how we
can.
For now, I leave you to enjoy the
rest of this issue. Summer break
is almost here, the Chargers are
about to d raft some more players
and I have some hops and barley
to consume for Beer of the Week.
Your Editor,

Campus Police p repare to unveil a c omprehensive r estraining

BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
A s campus police strive to
accomplish their mission in
preserving and protecting the
working and academic environment, they have created a new
program titled University Police
Restraining Order and Response
or UPROAR.
The additional service is
intended for students, s taff and
f aculty at CSUSM. In t he past,
members of t he CSUSM community have filed r estraining
orders against t heir ex-husbands,
e x-girlfriends
and
ex-boyfriends. I n c ertain cases, those
who were told to r emain outside of any f orm of communication or physical contact r efused
to do so, t hreatening students,
s taff or faculty. In c ertain cases,
the t hreats have led t o t hreats of
physical assaults.
W hen followed properly, a
r estraining order should not
p ermit t he m ale or f emale t o
c ommunicate w ith t hose w hom
they d esire t o t hrough cell
p hone, email or any i n-person
c ontact. T he order should
i mmediately h alt any f orms of
verbal t hreats, h arassment or
s talking.
With UPROAR, campus police
are extending their hand for
anyone who has filed a restraining order or anyone who is looking t o file one, to share the order
with the campus police where
they will review it in discussion
then keep the restraining order
on file in the utmost confidentiality.
I n the event that those who
do not abide by the court order
arrive on campus, the campus
police could apply the knowledge
of the physical description f rom
the file when needed.
Additionally, for all those who
are looking to file a restraining
order against someone, campus
police would be able to assist
them in filing the order, and
point them toward the proper
resources.
Officer John Balos said, "As a
means to b e proactive and help
the community remain safe, we
would like to work effectively
in f orming relationships with
the community to help eliminate
possible crimes f rom occurring."

Powell said, "Classes are being
cancelled, professors are leaving,
students aren't graduating." She
added, "The CSU is dying. It's
hard to tell because our university is growing."
Many look to the CSU
system as one of the best
_
leading examples of quality education available to
students at an affordable
price. For years, it has
been. But recently, without
an adequate salary given
to the CSU faculty to live
within California's standards, the future is grim
according to Dr. Powell.
As a last resort in their
endeavors, faculty at all
23 campuses are taking
action.
Another motto of the
CFA is, "Faculty working
conditions are student learning
conditions." Recently, they've
adopted a new one. "I don't want
to strike, but I ^ ill."
As they circled Library Plaza,
the professors chanted, "What do
we want? Contracts! When do

radical move to make in 1990 as
it still is today. The decision to
make the fraternity a non-pledging one was done in order to

1990, ZBT has received high
praise and attention from vari-

ing how much money the CSU
system has, how much money
is being distributed, along with
other related statistics. Once the
fact finding process is finished,
it becomes legal for professors to
go on strike.
i
The faculty plans to
take part in two day rolling strikes that will take
place throughout the
state of California. Once
they go on strike, the
faculty predicts that the
Chancellor's office will
impose a contract.
There is a possibility
that a professor on strike
would have to cancel one
of their classes when on
strike. If desired, there is
also a possibility that the
———
class could convene at a
location off campus.
Dr. Powell made it clear that for
every faculty member participating in the strike, as much as they
are determined to send a message
to the Chancellor's Office, they
are equally sympathetic towards
their students in not letting the
strikes interfere with their students' regular coursework and
studies. Dr. Powell said, "We
don't want to hurt our students.
Our desire is to minimize the
impact on [them]."
Of all the f ull time tenure track
professors who belong to the
local chapter of CFA, 70% support the strike.
At the end of February, the
CFA will vote whether or not
they will go on strike, although it
is most likely that they will. The
strike would take place in the
front of the school, on Twin Oaks
Boulevard, at the end of March
or April. "Nobody wants this to
happen, Dr. Powell said, but we
don't have any choice. We're in a
bad place. This spring will be a
tough semester."

Field House. To reserve a lunch,

F AFSA 101: Financial aid for beginners
BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD
Pride Staff Writer
Many students start out their
first semester of college not
knowing that they could qualify
for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, also known
as the FASFA. Some students
go semesters or even years not
knowing what t o do and struggling to figure it all out. Well, no
more will students see the FASFA
as a challenging process.
FASFA becomes available
during December of each year.
This is when students can begin
their process of filing for financial aid. The Cal State University system priority filing date
is March 2nd of each year. This
means the CSU system encourages all applicants to have sub-
mitted their financial aid information before or close to that
time; though that isn't necessarily the deadline, as CSUSM will
still accept applications for the
FASFA after the deadline. However, filing late makes the process of getting financial aid more
drawn out. According to the
CSUSM website (www.csusm.
edu), "If you meet the March 2nd
priority filing date, you improve
the chances of receiving aid from
all the programs for which you
are eligible."
Once a student applies for
financial aid, CSUSM's Financial
Aid & Scholarship Office will
collaborate with the student and
keep them updated on any papers
or information they may need to
complete the process. For example, "required documents may

to say the least. As college students, the need to be connected

It's not too late to sign up for
FASFA, especially for the 20072008 school year, as there is
over a month left for the initial

though classes are starting this

for numerous opportunities for

�J ock talk with Josh: Winter Break recap
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
Well, that was
the final winter
break of my college career, and I
couldn't have had
a better time. I did
a lot of partying, a
little bit of writing
and working, a lot
of lying around,
and a ton of thinking about my future. The biggest occurrence, however, was when I chopped off
my beautiful locks of ham
A lot of things happened over break that
I was dying to comment on. I felt like the
world was taunting me with all of the happenings over the past 5 weeks. Of course,
there are other outlets that my name
appears in, but no place gives me more
freedom than this newspaper, which I am
going to dearly miss in five months when
I graduate.
What made me happiest to see over
break was Tony Gwynn being elected into
the Hall of Fame. I grew up watching him
play baseball, and have been lucky enough
to meet him while on assignment. It's great
seeing good guys get some recognition
every once in a while. Along that same
subject, I was very glad to see that "The
Hulk", Mark McGwire, did not get in.
What I was least shocked to see over
break was the Chargers collapse in the
playoffs. I predicted this exact occurrence
in my article last semester about LaDainian Tomlinson.
Speaking of that article, I was most
shocked over break to see that someone in
the media essentially stole my column idea
a month after I wrote it. I take it as a compliment that people outside of this campus
read this paper.
I was most disgusted to be a United
States American when I constantly saw
the Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump
"feud" in the headlines. I think I may be
the only person left in this country who
doesn't want to see a hippo and a hyena
fight.
I was most proud to be a United States
American when I saw that our President's approval rating is at an all new low,
because people in this country are finally
seeing that things are pretty messed up
around here.
I was most proud of a fellow entertainer when Damon Wayans challenged
the authority of the "Laugh Factory" in
Hollywood. A fter the Michael Richards
incident, the "Factory" banned the use of
Juniors • Seniors •
G r ad u a te S t u d e n t s
A spiring to obtain doctorate
the word that "Kramer" was lambasted
for using. Some clubs, like the "Tempe
Improv" have eve gone as far as to ban all
cuss words. Wayans incurred a fine from
the club and a several month ban. As much
as I don't like derogatory names, I despise
censorship that much more. Hopefully that
last sentence made the final cut.
In December, I was most sad when I
heard the news that James Brown died.
I was most scared just a few days later to
see his face on a billboard saying that he is
scheduled to perform "live" in San Diego
in late January.
I felt most victorious when I heard the
news that University Hour is going to be
decreased to only two days a week starting
in fall 2007. Although I won't be here to
see the spoils of my laborious opposition
to the ridiculous concept of "nap time"
for college students, I still feel a sense of
accomplishment.
I was most relieved when grades came
out for last semester and I earned three A's,
two B's and one C in my 19-unit semester
from hell.
This semester should be a lot more
enjoyable since I am only taking 16 units
and graduating in May.
As usual, you can send me an e-mail to
sando026@csusm.edu. As I have previously mentioned once or twice, this is my
last semester of college and my last semester with the paper, so lets make sure it is
just as controversial as all the other ones.

Review:
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Nominated for five Golden
Globes, including Best Picture
- Comedy or Musical, Best Supporting Actor (Eddie Murphy),
Best Supporting Actress (Jennifer
Hudson), Best Actress - Comedy
or Musical (Beyonce Knowles),
and Best Original Song, three
Screen Actors Guild awards, and
garnering numerous additional
accolades, "Dreamgirls" is sweeping through the 2006 awards
season with style.
Set in the early 1960s, "Dreamgirls" opens with a dream shared
by three young singers who
call themselves the Dreamettes
- Effie (Jennifer Hudson), Deena
(Beyonce Knowles) and Lorrell
(Anika Noni Rose) - and a host
of other aspiring musical artists competing for grand prize at

Originally a Tony-award winning Broadway musical, "Dreamgirls" was adapted to the big

"In America, it's bling bling.
But out here it's bling bang." Danny Archer
Amidst the height of civil
war and rebel uprising, "Blood
Diamond" takes place in Sierra
Leone, Africa during the late
1990s. "Blood Diamond" leads
audiences through a chaotic and
powerful story of two African
men both searching for their
own interpretation of liberation. Danny Archer (Leonardo
DiCaprio), a diamond smuggler
searching for a way out of Africa,
and Solomon Vandy (Dihmon
Hounsou), a fisherman who loses
everything as the country's lust
for diamonds swells, both captivate and overwhelm the screen
alike, and both look to the value
of the diamond to save them.
Playing the romantic object of
Danny Archer, Jennifer Connelly
portrays the know-it-all American journalist, Maddy Bowen,
searching for the underground
and undiscovered story of conflict diamonds. Though her portrayal is somewhat contrived,
she aptly depicts a believable and
compassionate journalist, and her
presence is necessary to complete
DiCaprio's portrayal of a rugged,
African, and believable man's
man. Without her, DiCaprio's
performance wouldn't have been
as sharp, and without DiCaprio,
my experience of the film and its
message would have been absolutely flat.
The meat of the plot begins
when Solomon Vandy's family is
torn from him as "RUF" rebels
(whom are mostly child soldiers)
raid his village. In line to be disfigured by a machete, Vandy is
spared by the commander of RUF
and sent to work in the diamond

mines. Enslaved to a muddy
river sifting through sediments
for diamonds, he stumbles upon
a giant pink diamond. Realizing
that hiding and burying the rock
is the only he will be able to live
and secure his family's survival,
he hides the rock just as the diamond mine camp is bombed.
Captured by the opposing military, he finds himself in prison,
where Danny Archer is as well,
after having been caught smuggling diamonds across the Sierra
Leone border into Namibia. It is
in the prison then that Vandy's
secret is revealed as the commander too arrives at the prison,
and knows that Vandy had found
a pink stone. Overhearing this,
Archer ensures Vandy's release
and o ffers his help to find Vandy's family in hopes of being
led to the pink diamond. As war
erupts and destroys the city, the
two are forced to band together
if they are to survive.
The issues director Edward
Zwick and screenplay writer
Charles Leavitt address and
impose upon viewers are about
the harsh realities of conflict diamonds and how much
people in A frica s uffer f rom the
retrieval of diamonds for export.
Equally as important, the movie
o ffers insight into the unfathomable life of a child soldier, and
the life they create under the
worst of conditions. The torrents of brutal killing, display of
unimaginable survival tactics,
and the actuality of the diamond
business as well as the civil war
in A frica were almost too much
to take for the 2 hours and 23
minutes that contains the experience of "Blood Diamond." With
no inhibitions about showing it
like it is along with an unbelievable and flawless performance
by DiCaprio—who definitely
makes it clear that he's grown
up since his "Titanic" days—
"Blood Diamond" is a must see.

But this year, there's new

the CSU system. In their effort
to educate the students and the
community, CSUSM professors
held signs and chanted in favor
of a fair Contract. Two days later,
the CSU Board of Trustees gave
a 4% pay raise to all CSU presidents and several top administrators, the result of what had
been in the workings since July.
In spite of Monday's informational picketing and November's
rally when 1,000 professors and
500 students chanted in front of
the Chancellor's office in Long
Beach, the executives received a
pay raise from the CSU Board of
Trustees which would put some
of them up to earning $377,000
annually. In all their efforts for
gaining a fair contract and a halt
in student tuition raises, this
recent pay raise adds another
wrinkle to the complexity of
what has become a salient issue
of misplaced priorities.
Janet Powell, CFA President
of the San Marcos chapter, said,
"The CFA was not surprised by

students that is forcing us to consider striking. We are concerned
about the future of the CSU, our
salary negotiation [is] one symptom of a much larger issue."
Dr. Powell added,. "We are
not against raises for anyone; all
employees of the CSU are underpaid. We are just discouraged
that the Board of Trustees have
chosen to favor top administrators by giving significant raises
to them while at the same time
walking away from the faculty
bargaining table."
CFA Secretary, Professor
Lance Newman took part in Monday's informational picketing as
well. Professor Newman said,
"I'm angry about the misplaced
priorities of the administration,
but I am hopeful that determined
activism, like the possible twoday strikes, will show the depth
of faculty unity and seriousness and will help convince the
administration to think again."
On February 6, the CFA will
hold an informational meeting
for all faculty in order to make
the decision to strike as they
take all the variables of the strike
into consideration. The CFA has
made it clear that the last thing
they want to do is to disrupt students' studies and academic performance although it is possible
that classes could be cancelled on
the two day rolling strikes.
Dr. Powell said, "At this point,
the CFA believes that the Chancellor's Office and the Board of
J
Tfúste&'s* are Very4 rriuéh out óf
touch with the needs of those
who are at the heart of the CSU,
the students, staff, and faculty.
They did not get the message at
our protest in November and they
seem to not be getting it by our
picketing now. Striking seems to
us to be the only option."
Professor Newman and Dr.
Powell agreed that students can
do their university a favor and
let their voice be heard by writing letters and speaking out
against the mismanagement of
faculty, students and staff. Professor Newman said, "What we
need most right now is a unified
message from all parts of the
university community—students,
faculty, and staff—that says, 'It's
time to rebuild our school. The
CSU is the future of California,
but for too many years, we've
seen rising fees, stagnating salaries, and shrinking budgets.'"
Dr. Powell believes that students should be involved when
it comes to issues that affect
them and those around them
such as siblings and children.
"Letter writing to the Chancellor's Office, the CSU Board of
Trustee's, legislators, and the
Governor are efforts all students
should participate in on a regular
basis. I hope that students will do
whatever they think is best for
themselves and future students
and encourage them to research
these issues and come to their
own conclusions."
Dr. Powell adddd, "The CSU
has long been considered the
'people's university'. The promise of an accessible education is
disappearing as more students
will not be able to attend college
due to high tuition and the university will i ot W able to recruit
or retain quality professors, staff,
and administrators."

lor's Doctoral Incentive is for
$10,000. Those who earn the PreDoctoral scholarship earn a free
summer internship at the institution of their choice.
According to Lisa Bandong,
the Campus Program Coordinator, "The California Pre-Doctoral
Scholarship and Chancellor's
Doctoral Incentive Program are
two scholarship programs from
the Office of the Chancellor of
the California State University.
Both programs require CSU faculty sponsorship, and that is why
our campus administers them
through the Faculty Center. The
funds from both of these programs come from the California
State Lottery."
Bandong is the go-to person
when students begin the process
of recieving a scholarship. She
will meet with the students oneon-one to discuss their "goals, the
application and selection process,
and most importantly, the faculty
sponsorship." The two scholarships have different requirements
but both need a faulty sponsor.
It's a good thing to have a relationship with the sponsor for the
faculty who know the student
can better support students and
help students with t heij goals.
Bandong's advice is for "students
working consciously on building
relationships with their profes-
sors in all of their courses. Students should learn as much as
they can about their professors'
experiences and talk with their
professors about their goals and
plans."
"The Pre-Doc is designed to
increase the diversity of the pool
of potential university faculty by
supporting the doctoral aspirations of individuals who are CSU
juniors, seniors or graduate students that are economically and
educationally disadvantaged" said
Bandong. "The Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program seeks to
provide loans to doctoral students
who are interested in applying and
competing for CSU instructional
faculty positions after completion
of the doctoral degree." The Chancellor's Doctoral has a forgivable
loan for students who return to
teach at a CSU campus, and once
they begin teaching, 20% of the
loan is forgiven with every year of
service. Though the scholarship
does not guarantee employment
to any of the CSU's, it definitely
helps decrease money owed if students decide to work in the CSU
system.

Bartleby.com is a literature
haven that combines a hybrid
selection of classic and modern
literature ready for reference.
The website offers—for free—a
huge resource of everything from
English usage guides to quick
reference of famous quotations,
encyclopedias, dictionaries, a
thesaurus, poetry, fiction, and
non-fiction literature.
For students this means easy
access to a lot of information.
Some of the information offered
is otherwise expensive and/or
hard to find. Bartleby comes in
handy for little things like figuring out: "who was it that said that
one famous quote, anyway?" As
Gertrude Stein says, "Writing
and reading is to me synonymous
with existing," and this is just
one example of the thousands of
famous quotes that can be easily
found on Bartleby.
With the 2,500 word writing requirement per course at
CSUSM, sooner than later most
CSUSM students can and should
utilize these references. With
Bartleby students can quickly
have access to key pointers in
the correct usage for the sometimes confusing words like
"affect" and "effect," or "accept"
and "except." Additionally, the
expansive encyclopedias can be
extremely helpful.
The website also contains full
texts of anthologies and volumes
of classic literature, including
Charles Dickens, Aesops Fables,
Herman Melville, Nathaniel
Hawthorne and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and offers access to the
poetry of Emily Dickinson, T.S.
Eliot, Robert Frost, John Keats,
William Shakespeare, and Oscar
Wilde, to name a few. The verse,
fiction and non-fiction collections
offered by the website are unique
indeed.
If one happens to be "falling,
upon the thorns of life," in the
name of Shelley, searching for
Poe or Dickinson, or just need
some guidance with "Beowulf,"
Bartleby has the easy button
readily available for students and
professors alike.
In 1993, Bartelby.com offered
their viewers the -first publication of its kind, an electronic version of Walt Whitman's, "Leaves
of Grass." The New York based
website boasts 370,000 web
pages, 10,000 poems, and an
elaborate collection of quotations
at over 86,000, which is the largest collection available to date.
Also offered are the latest versions of the "Columbia Encyclo-
pedia" and "The American Heritage Dictionary."
According to the website,
Steven H. van Leeuwen, the President, Chairman and Founder of
Bartleby started it as a research
experiment concerning electronic publishing, but the experiment quickly developed into the
vast accessible resource that it is
today.
When a viewer feels that he or
she is ready to purchase a favorite selection for one's private
collection, Bartleby also offers
books for sale in connection
with Amazon.com. Bartleby and
Amazon forge the common goal
to accelerate the wide availability of literature. William Shakespeare himself might have done
research at this website, had the
resource been available to him.
So, make no delay to check out
this priceless resource.

�Freedom of the Internet
BY DAVID GATLEY
Pride Staff Writer
The freedom of internet access and use
is at risk. In the near future you will not
be able to access most of the websites you
visit daily, unless these websites pay a premium to Internet Service providers, such
as AT&T, Time-Warner and Comcast.
Your high speed internet will not apply to
any site you go to, but only those chosen
by your Cable Company or Internet Service Provider (ISP). This is not a warning,
this is already happening, and the Internet
needs our help.
If you are not yet familiar with the term
"Net-Neutrality" this is nothing new;
bloggers, active citizens, websites, and
activists have been trying to bring attention to the topic for years. According
to www.savetheinternet.com "When
we log onto the Internet, we take lots of
things for granted. We assume that we'll be
able to access whatever website we want,
whenever we want to go there. We assume
that we can use any feature we like; watching videos online, listening to podcasts,
searching for information, emailing, and
instant messaging, anytime we choose.
We also assume that we can attach devices
like wireless routers, game controllers, or
extra hard drives to make our online experience better.
What makes all these assumptions possible is ,TNetwork Neutrality," the guiding
principle that ensures the Internet remains
free and unrestricted. Net Neutrality prevents the companies that control the wires
bringing you the Internet from discriminating against content based on its ownership or source. But that could all change.
The biggest cable and telephone com-
panies would like to charge money for
smooth access to Web sites, speed to
run applications, and permission to plug
in external devices. These network conglomerates believe they should be able to
charge website operators, application providers, and device manufacturers for the
right to use the network. Those who don't
make ä deal and pay up will experience
discrimination: Their sites won't load as
quickly, their applications and devices
won't work as well. Without legal protection, consumers could find that a network
operator has blocked the website of a competitor, or slowed it down so much that it's
unusable.
It now falls to the Senate to save the

Jock Talk With Josh: The Super Bowl
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Sports Writer
I hate the Super Bowl.
That may be something of a shock to,
hear from a sports writer, especially one
who loves football. But hear me out on
this one.
The game is built up for two weeks.
It is talked about in the media for those
14 days as, the greatest game that will
ever be played, and more times than not
I have admitted to seeing better high
school games.
^ The long break in between the conference championship gsmes also gives
the media plenty of opportunity to beat
the same stories to death. I can't tell you
how many times I have heard that Lovie
Smith and Tony Dungy are the first black
coaches to make it to the Super Bowl.
Also, how Dungy gave Smith his first
job in the NFL and how they are best
friends. I wish I could tell ESPN that I
only need to hear these things once.
I also know that Peyton Manning
has yet to win the big game and that
Adam Vinatieri has been the difference in three Super Bowl titles. Also,
don't mention the fact that Mike Ditka
coached the 1985 Bears, which won the
Super Bowl. Oh, arid I do know that Rex
Grossman has been sketchy this season.
If I hear one iftore thing about Marvin
Harrison and Manning being in sync for
more touchdowns than any other duo in
NFL history I may actually puke. I also
know that Harrison is unlike all the other
receivers in the league in that fact that he
talks with his game and not his mouth,
so save that as well.
What may annoy me more than all the
story lines being thrown at me is that
everyone thinks they are an expert on
who is going to win. Everyone from the
casual fan to the "experts" on Sportscenter have a take on who is going to win.
The following are different reasons I
have heard for why each team is going to
win. The Colts' offense is too good. The
Bears' defense is too good. The Colts'
defense isn't reliable. The Bears' offense
is too inconsistent.
All of that is just the build up to the
game. The actual game pisses me off
more than the build up. The game takes
like half a day to play because there are
so many media timeouts for the multimillion dollar advertisements to be
played on television. By the time the
game gets to halftime we have to see an
hour concert from some singer who is so
washed up their skin is wrinkled. I really
don't want to see the symbol, Prince,
perform in the middle of a football game.
If I really wanted to see Prince perform I
would turn the way back machine to the
1980s.
Not to mention the announcers. CBS
isn't as bad as FOX, but they are still
~ pretty hacky. If I hear another announcer
duo trying to be a couple of stand-up
comedians I might reach the point of putting the television on mute and recording
my own commentary to the games.
With all that said, I am still going to
watch the game because of the Super
Bowl pools and great food at the parties.
If you have a comment send an email to pride@csusm.edu or me at
sando026@csusm.edu.

�Super Bowl XLI
* Thoughts and predictions about the game
W hy t he Chicago Bears will win
BY MIKE MILLBURN
Pride Staff Writer
First, I feel compelled to mention
the oh-so-small detail that I absolutely
loathe the Bears. As a rabid fan of Brett
Favre and the Green Bay Packers, I find
the fact that they are in the Super Bowl
detestable. That being said, however,
I believe that they will in fact handle
the Colts and win their first Lombardi
Trophy since the mid-1980s.
The biggest factor for the Bears is the
brain of quarterback Rex Grossman.
While I don't doubt his arm, it is his
decision making that will be the largest area of concern. He has been a proverbial Jekyll and Hyde this season; one
week he'll play like Johnny Unitas, the
next week he'll look like former Charger
vagabond Ryan Leaf. Whether or not he
keeps his head in the game will go a long
way towards determining a Bears win.
The Bears' backs will have a big game
against a suspicious Colts run defense.
While the Colts' defense has played
well during the playoffs, they still give
up 173 rushing yards per game. Expect
the platoon of Thomas Jones and Cedric
Benson to have a monster day.
The receivers are not great, but they
get the job done. Mushin Muhammad
and Bernard Berrian are the main targets, but don't discount backups Rashied
Davis and Mark Bradley. They are more
than capable of catching the deep ball
and burning the Colts' defensive secondary. While the Bears are definitely a
run-first team, the pass game is capable
of taking over a game.
The Bears' offensive line is one of the
best in the business, led by center Olin
Kreutz and right guard Roberto Garza.
The Colts' defensive line has been
beaten up all season by teams with dom-
W hy t he Indianapolis Colts will win
inant O-lines, and it will happen again
as the pocket should keep Rex Grossman
upright for most of the game.
Now to the bread and butter of the
Bears: their vaunted defense. The team's
front seven is only equaled in ferocity by
the San Diego Chargers. While they will
be without all-world defensive tackle
Tommie Harris, this line is still dangerous, as they have combined for 31 sacks.
Don't get me wrong, the Colts' offensive line is a good one (as Peyton Manning has been sacked only 14 times this
season), but they have not faced a line
this good all season. Manning will have
nightmares about these guys in the offseason.
The three linebackers could start for
any team in the league, and are the heart
and soul of the defense. The unquestioned leader is middle linebacker Brian
Urlacher, who may be the best linebacker
of the last 15 years, though Ray Lewis
may argue that statement. A six-time Pro
Bowler, Urlacher is joined by fellow Pro
Bowler Lance Briggs, who led the team
with 113 solo tackles. The strong-side
backer, Hunter Hillenmeyer, is a future
star in the league.
The secondary has speed everywhere,
starting with corners Charles Tillman
and Nathan Vasher. But the most dangerous member of the secondary is rookie
Devin Hester. Imagine a younger and
faster Dante Hall and you'll get Hester,
who can return the ball for a touchdown
every time he touches it. Safety Danieal
Manning is another rookie who is getting better at just the right time.
While the offense does just enough to
get by, the defense and special teams are
far too good to ignore; they will overwhelm the Colts and win the big game
27-17 with Thomas Jones claiming the
MVP.
BY PAUL BAIMBRIDGE
Pride Staff Writer
For the first time in 36-years, the Baltimore...oops, Indianapolis Colts are back
in the Super Bowl. It has been a while
since their last visit back in Super Bowl
V when they were the Baltiihore Colts.
If you only watched the regular season
you'd think I'm crazy for saying this, but
their defense is a big reason why they are
going to win the Super Bowl. Their No.
32 ranked run defense during the regular
season was one of the worst in NFL history, giving up 173-yards per game and
even gave up 375-yards to the Jacksonville
Jaguars on December 10. That defense
isn't the same defense that is now in the
Super Bowl. Of the three playoff games,
their defense has given up 32-yards to
Larry Johnson, 53 to Jamal Lewis and 93
to the plethora of runners New England
trots out. The Colts defense is stingy and
they just stopped three of the top eight
offenses the AFC has to offer.
Now from the Colts' defense to the
opponent's defense. New England's
defense is known throughout the NFL as
being very confusing, showing different
looks in order to confuse the quarterback
and making it difficult to read the coverage. New England's defense was ranked
No. 6 during the season, right behind Chicago, which was ranked No. 5. The Patriots gave up a total of 14.8 ppg, second
only to the Ravens, a team the Colts literally kicked to death 15-6, which gave
up 12.6 ppg. Chicago's defense shouldn't
be too hard, since the Colts figured a way
around New England and Baltimore.
How about Rex? Rex Grossman has
been in the league since 2003 but has
been riddled with injuries until this year.

He is an up and coming QB in this league,
but his talent is still raw. The Super Bowl
is just too big for an inexperienced and
inconsistent QB like Grossman to come
in and beat a guy like Peyton Manning
when it matters most.
Manning finally beat the Patriots;
every single time the media dubs it the
Colts' year the Patriots have been there
to give them the boot. It happened in the
AFC Championship game in 2003 and in
the Divisional round in 2004. If Manning
wanted to get to, and win, the Super Bowl
he was going to have to go through the
Patriots. Manning has beaten the Patriots,
is now in the big game and is ready for
this moment.
There is a resiliency about the Colts
this year that I have never seen in previa
ous years. Every time the Colts lose in the
playoffs they always lose without putting
up a fight. We've seen them win big in
the playoffs, but wow do they lose horribly; 20-3 to the Patriots in 2004, 24-14
to the Patriots in 2003 and 41-0 to the Jets
in 2002. The Colts seem like they actually want it and you can see it in the way
they play. When it was 21-6 at the half
against the Patriots in the AFC championship the Colts were never out of it.
Manning hurt his finger on his throwing
hand during the gam£ and almost came
out of the game. What did Manning and
the Colts do? The defense held, Manning
stayed in the game and led them on the
eventual winning drive. With emotional
leaders like Manning on offense and Bob
Sanders on defense, the Colts are primed
to win 34-24 with Manning going 20-of34 for 379 yards and 3 TD, while claiming the MVP.

�Cougar b aseball ready to pounce
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
The CSUSM baseball program is off and
running. With a group of mainly freshman, sprinkled with some veteran experience, Coach Dennis Pugh leads the Cougars into their first year of play. lt won't
be instant success with this bunch but the
near future is bright.
Coach Pugh is a San Diego area coaching legend and his track record speaks
for itself. As coach at Mission Bay high
school, his teams won 18 league titles and
8 CIF championships.
When asked about the acquisition of

There is a fundraiser in April, called
"The Field of Dreams" to generate support
for a new multi-use stadium at CSUSM.
For more information on baseball and
other sports check the athletics website on
the CSUSM homepage. To come out and
support the team, head over to San Marcos
High School located at 1615 W. San

The next home game is Friday February 2
at 2p.m.

Coach Pugh said, "Come on out. We're

program and we appreciate that."
that.
"We're basically two-deep at
every position," explains Milo.
"The friendly competition for
playing time is helping push the
players."
The squad's excellent pitching
staff will be throwing to catchers Tasha Stokes and Lindsey
Preovolos. While both are very
talented in their own right, Coach
Milo expects them to split time
throughout the season, due to the
physical demands of playing the
position. They're also solid at the
plate - Stokes has "tremendous"
power, according to Milo, and the
potential to be an All-American.
In fact, both players will likely
be in the lineup at the same time,
with the one that's not catching
playing first base. Sophomore
Aly Brown will be in the rotation
there as well.
At second base, Milo believes
she has a good mix of players
who are all solid defensively.
Freshman Malarie Barnard will
definitely see a lot of action
there, and Erica Coelho figures
to play second when she's not
pitching.
Filling the key position of
shortstop will be Holly Russell
and Samantha Valenzuela. Russell, a Mission Hills High grad,
is one of the team's most experienced players. She's expected
to bat in the middle of the lineup
due to her excellent hitting potential and power.
Freshman Amanda Sanchez
is expected to play third. She
has very good reaction time - a
crucial trait to playing the hot
corner. Melissa Lerno, whose
.353 batting average at Palomar
was overshadowed by her pitching, will also see time at third
when she's not on the mound.
Coach Milo expects the outfield
to be the strength of the team's
defense. "As whole, they're very
quick and cover a lot of ground,"
she says. "All our outfielders
could play any position in the
outfield."
Leading the group is centerfielder Danielle Tucker. Lake
Elsinore High's 2006 Female
Athlete of the Year, Tucker's
commitment this fall to giving
110% effort at all times earned
her co-captain status on the
Cougar softball team. Her blazing speed serves her well both in
the field and at the plate, where
the slap-hitter is expected to bat
leadoff for the team.
Joining Tucker as a co-captain
is leftfielder Leilani Madrigal.
As the only junior on the team's
freshman-heavy roster, Madrigal
provides leadership and experience to the group. She also provides a great bat - a .535 average
at Los Angeles Valley College.
She'll likely hit second and share
time in the outfield with Clairemont High grad Lauren Turner.
Finally, right field is expected
to be anchored by Elizabeth
Bush and Joy Leon. Leon was
Fallbrook High's Most Valuable.
Offensive Player last year, and is
moving to the outfield from first
base. Bush, also a freshman, will
see time in centerfield as well as
right.
Though the Cougars' inaugural
team brings plenty of talent to the
table, making the playoffs will
be a challenge. CSUSM competes in the very difficult Region
II of the NAIA, and will face all
the powerhouse schools from the
Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC).
According to Coach Milo, the
biggest key to succeeding will be
for players to step into leadership
roles and carry the team through
its tightly-packed 50-game schedule. The team will also need
support from the Cougar community, and all fans are encouraged to head out to Mission Hills
High to catch some great softball
action. The squad will lead off
its season on Saturday, February 10th in a home double-header
against Vanguard University
starting at noon. Admission is
always free, so come out and support your CSUSM softball team
throughout its first season!

family. I will add a word of caution for people with very young
or very sensitive children: there
are a couple of scenes that could
get pretty intense, especially for
children who are afraid of mummies, dinosaurs, or skeletons.
These scenes and some crude
humor are what earn the movie
its PG rating.
In "Night at the Museum," Ben
Stiller stars as Larry, a divorced
father who has a new get-rich^
quick scheme every month. Worried about disappointing his son
yet again, Larry takes a job as the
new night guard at the Museum
of Natural History in New York.
Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney,
and Bill Cobbs play the guards
who trick Larry into taking over
their jobs. Larry quickly learns
that, thanks to a magic Egyptian
tablet, all of the museum's exhibits come alive between sunset and
sunrise. Larry's job is to keep the
exhibits from escaping without
destroying the museum or getting himself killed in the process.
This is no small task since the
museum's exhibitions read like
a list of History's Most Wanted,
from Neanderthals to Mongols.
Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan
give him particular trouble as
a cowboy and a Roman general who answer the question,
"What would happen if Roman
expansion ever came up against
Manifest Destiny?" Robin Williams rounds out the stars as the
wise, if a bit nutty, Teddy Roosevelt, who alternately cajoles and
coerces Larry into responsibility
and heroism.
With such an amazing cast,
it's hard to imagine how "Night
at the Museum" could have
gone wrong. Ben Stiller gives
a good performance, and Dick
Van Dyke will always be one
of my favorite actors. It's well
worth sticking around through
the credits to see their outtakes.
However, Mickey Rooney steals
the show as an octogenarian
with a short man's complex who
likes to pick fights with epithets

like "lunch box," "applesauce,"
and "butterscotch." In addition to the major stars, "Night
at the Museum" has a talented
supporting cast. Ricky Gervais,
from the British "The Office,"
is brilliant as the museum
director. Carla Gugino plays a
sweet, strong, and intelligent
love interest for Larry, and Brad
Garrett voices a comically belligerent Easter Island head.
The exceptional acting and
exciting story all but hide the
film's few "What the heck?" and
"Hey wait a minute!" moments.
One particularly confusing scene
shows a shadowy figure sneaking into a dark room and doesn't
seem to have made any sense
to anyone I talked to. I was also
left with some serious doubts
about the credentials of the curators at this fictional museum.
Since when does a natural history museum have exhibits about
Columbus, Mongols, Aztecs, and
the Civil War? Since when does
an ostrich belong in an exhibit on
African mammals? Also, why do
the ancient Romans speak English, while Columbus speaks Italian and Genghis Khan speaks
gibberish? Ultimately, however, I
think these are all fun questions
to debate with friends which add
to the movie's humor rather than
take away from its appeal.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE
E d i t o r In Chief a d d r e s s e s C S U S M A d m i n i s t r a t i o n
Dear CSUSM Administration,
The safety of the CSUSM community is at risk. Something must be
done, immediately, to ensure the preservation of everyone's safety while on
campus.
For the second time in as many
semesters a pedestrian has been hit
by a vehicle on campus. With the
addition of Parking Lot F traffic has
increased dramatically; so too have
the chances fa accidents on campus.
Something must be done now, before
we have afetalaccident, to ensure that
no pedestrian cii campus is at risk.
Campus Police cannot be held
solely responsible for the protection
of pedestrians on campus, nor can
motorists. Thefact of the matter is,
we have dangerous intersections and
a severe lade of planning to protect
pedestrians.
While it is reported (coincidentally in this same issue of The Pride)
that Planning, Design and Construction have plans to address traffic on
campus, nothingwill be implemented
for several years. Even then, protection against pedestrian accidents will
be minimal.
The feet of the matter is, without
the death of a pedestrian, there is no
sufficient pressure driving this issue.

Girl hit by car suffers minor injuries
BY KELLY CORRIGAN

On Thursday, Feb. 1 at 3:36
p.m., a 13-year-old girl riding her
bike on campus was struck by a
car. The driver was attempting
to make a left on Palm Canyon
drive toward Craven drive.
When the driver was waved
down by another driver to turn,

the driver let their foot off the
brake and collided with the girl
on the bike who was halfway
through the crosswalk. A t once,
students on foot ran to assist the
girl who ultimately sustained
minor bruising and swelling.
University Police caught the
scene on video from a camera
pod. Perched on top of Craven
Hall, Markstein Hall and Kel-
logg Library, these camera pods
can zoom in and out, and can
reach as far as to the Ralph's
shopping center across thè street
from campus.. Sergeant Jesse
Flores of University Police was
also present at the scene and
made the report. Flores said,
"We would like the community
to be cognizant of people walking and driving and to the Com-
munity Service Officers who
direct the traffic."
On Mondays through Thursdays, University CSOs work the
four-way stop every 15 minutes.
On Friday's, they work the intersection every 45 minutes and
they are constantly patrolling
traffic.
With the addition of parking lot

of Campus View drive and Palm

struck by a van as she attempted
to walk through a crosswalk.

of the future stoplight was in session at the time of the accident.

As early as December, the

and North County residents. It
is called the Sprinter and it is a

Driving while using a handheld cell phone will become punishable by fines on July 1, 2008,
according to the bill signed into
law by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The first offense costs
drivers $20, and the following
offenses will cost $50.
Sociology major Nicole Yescas
shares the same frustration that
most drivers have felt at one time
or another, "I have to say 90 percent of the time that I observe
problems on the road it is due
to someone talking on their cell
phone. From people sitting at
green lights, to running stop
signs, to only going 40mph in
the fast lane or pulling out of
CSUSM parking lot F, the cell
phone unfortunately seems to
inhibit people's ability to drive
attentively."

Making the transition from Campus to University
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Many students come to school
everyday, thinking of CSUSM
as a campus, but Russell Decker,
director of planning, design and
construction, is looking to turn
CSUSM into more than just a
place, but a university. CSUSM
is in the midst of Phase II of construction, planning and design,
which will take place over the
next ten years. Most students
have seen at least one completion of a project from beginning to end. Stairs that once led
nowhere lead to Markstein Hall,
and most recently the culmination of Cougar Central made a
pivotal change our campus. But

Another project underway is
the McMahan House. Funded
by a $2.3 million donation from
Richard and JoAn McMahan,
the McMahan House will serve
both the university and the community. It will be built beside
the track. The knoll beside the
track will remain, but it will have
a garden. "We've just had the
schematic design approved by
the Chancellor's Office," Decker
said. The McMahan House will
mainly be a place where people
can gather, dine and hold events.
In all construction activities, the
state will only provide the money
for instructional space. Parking,
housing and recreational activities remain outside of this realm.
A baseball and softball diamond
are presently just an idea, one
that cannot become viable until
there is funding behind it. There
is also a plan to build a diving
arid swimming complex behind
the Clarke field house. Until then,
Phase II of construction, which
includes various other projects
over the next ten years, will keep
Planning, Design and Construction busy. Decker and Ramirez
both agreed that their plans for
the next ten years are ambitious.
Decker said, "We run like crazy
at the end, but there's a real sense
of completion and accomplishment and closure."

"Once the rail line is reconstructed and the loop completed,"
Kelleher explains, "our contractors need to integrate all the new
signal systems at grade crossings, our closed-circuit television
system along the line, (and) our
communication systems at our
dispatch facility in Escondido.
Our vehicles are being tested
along the line in Escondido and
San Marcos."
Once completed, the Sprinter will
help to make North County a better
place. In the near future, being stuck
on Highway 78 traveling to or from
school may be a thing of the past.
The station at Cal State San Marcos
will be located over by the campus
police station on La Moree, providing easy access to the campus and
a way to escape escalating campus
paiking fees.
The Sprinter project information line can be reached at 760599-8332.
Torabi summarize their research,
"That using hands-free cell phone
use while driving did not differentiate from using handheld cell
phones in accidents or near-accidents implies that reduced physical distraction does not necessarily enhance driving safety."
The article also demonstrates
that while male college students
hold the title for greater likelihood to drink , and drive, female
college students hold the title for
"frequent cell phone users" while
driving. We'll have to see for
ourselves how the new cell phone
law will impact California roads.

�Website of the Week:
www.finaid.org
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
Mark Kantrowitz established FinAid.
org in 1994 as a public service site,
and since then FinAid.org has been
regarded as one of the best sites for students to receive financial aid information from. FinAid is mutually beneficial
to high school and college students and
their parents. Furthermore, the website
has also received several honors by the
National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators among others.
FinAid gives students and parents
their own step-by-step guide for financing college. First, the website gives
students a College Cost Projector that
calculates the estimated cost of tuition.
Then it gives students an opportunity
to find out how much the financial aid
institution expects the student to receive
from parents. It also allows students to
calculate how much financial aid will
be needed with the help of the Financial
Aid Estimation Calculator.
Once a student determines the total
amount of financial needed aside from
parental contribution, FinAid encourages students to look at several types of
loans. The website lists several options
on how to receive a student loan, which
is a low interest loan only available for
students. Another type of loan available is a private loan. It is often based
on one's credit score, as a private lender
gives them and is separate from the government.
Another option suggested is scholarships, which do not have to be repaid,
as they are rewarded for a person's
academic excellence. With hundreds
of thousands of scholarships available
each year, FinAid provides information
that will help students find the particular scholarshipfieldhe or she is searching for, such as academics, athletics or
artistic talents.
FinAid aims to find a scholarship
that fits each individual student. It also
informs students of certain scholarships
that one should not go after. FinAid also
gives information on financial aid for
specific types of groups such as: religion, race, heritage, orientation, and so
forth. For example, there is also a unique
scholarship list such as Scholarships for
Left-Handed Students and Little People
of America Scholarship for those 4'10"
and under. Besides these unique scholarships, FinAid also provides a list of
scholarships for the average students
who maintain a 2.0 GPA and are in need
offinancialaid.
FinAid also encourages students to
complete a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid, which could give a student
the opportunity to receive both federal
and state aid for school, which are separate from each other.
The federal government gives federal
aid. A student can qualify for federal aid
through the FAFSA, and the student's
financial need is allocated according to
the information filled out on FAFSA.
Additionally, the FAFSA is forwarded
to the state departments, which then can
distribute state aid to those who qualify. In addition, other scholarships and
loans are only available to students who
havefileda FAFSA.
If visitors have trouble understanding
some of the terminology on the website,
FinAid has a glossary to help with those
words, such as fellowships, which is aid
given to graduate students to help pay
for their education. Another important
term for those who have loans would be
maturity date, which is the end date of a
loan that must be repaid in full.
If the glossary doesn't help answer
questions, FinAid has over 100 financial
aid administrators in the United States
that are available to answer questions.
Administrators can answer questions
that aren't addressed on the website,
and they can also help clarify things
that aren't making sense.
One of the things the website does
very well is help prepare students on
applying for scholarships. It guides
students into finding a scholarship that
fits his or her needs and then helps get
the student organized for a particular
scholarship by informing the student
of upcoming deadlines and eligibility
criteria. FinAid also offers students a
guide to writing essays, as they may be
required for certain scholarships.

Dr. Jill Watts receives award
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer

Dr. Jill Watts-is the recipient of the 2007
President's Award for Scholarship and Creative Activity; the ceremony took place on
Jan. 18. Dr. Watts, a History professor and
the coordinator for the Film Studies minor
at CSUSM, is currently celebrating the rerelease of her latest book, "Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood,"
originally published in October 2005, to
be out in paperback on Tuesday, Feb. 6. In
addition to these accomplishments, Watts
is also the coordinator for the Department
of History's first master's degree program,
which will be starting up in the fall of
2007.
Watts, born and raised in San Diego,
holds a bachelors degree from the University of California, San Diego, and obtained
her master's and doctoral degrees from the
University of California, Los Angeles. She
joined the faculty at CSUSM in January of
1992. Watts has also published two other
books in addition to her latest since her stay
at CSUSM.
When asked about how she likes CSUSM,
Watts commented that it is a great university;
"I can't think of a better place to be," Watts
said in an interview over the telephone.
"Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White
Hollywood," is coming out in paperback in
the beginning of February, which Watts said
pleases her, "since February is Black history month, and also the month that people
are thinking about the Academy Awards,"
Watts said. McDaniel was thefirstAfricanAmerican to win an Academy Award in
1939 for her role as Mammy in "Gone with
the Wind." The curiosity of her students was what
most motivated her to pursue not only her
researcH on McDaniel, but all of her books
including past books on Mae West and
Father Divine, and future books which she
is currently researching—one on film censorship up to World War I, and another on
the strong cinematic women of the 1930s,
said Watts
The President's Award is a prestigious
award in which a professor is nominated
by faculty and then chosen by the president
of CSUSM, Karen Haynes. "It is an honor
to receive it," Watts said, "especially considering all of the excellent faculty here."
Watts also said that she loves working with
so many excellent people including the student body, who are "very inspiring.*'
The Film Studies minor, which Watts
coordinates, is an interdisciplinary program that is shared between departments.
Watts considers it rewarding to work in a
program that brings together students from
so many disciplines. Thus far students at
CSUSM have been and continue to be very
interested in the Film Studies minor, however there are currently no plans to expand
the program.
The new History Master's program,
another of which Watts coordinates, is generating interest nationwide as it is one of the
first programs to incorporate mass media
with history. The idea behind the degree
is that one can gain experience with using
new technological advances that are currently revolutionizing the field of history,
while obtaining a traditional Master's education in history. The department is accepting applications for the Fall 2007 semester.
Watts is pleased that many people have
already applied to the program, which is
pioneering the way history is taught, studied and preserved. "Incorporating technology with history makes it a more marketable degree to obtain," Watts says.
Watts celebrates her 15th year at CSUSM
this semester.

Tiger roars through San Diego
JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
Tiger Woods reached into his bag of
tricks for another win. Woods snatched
another victory Sunday Jan. 28 at the Buick
Invitational held at Torrey Pines along the
beautiful coast of San Diego. It was his
third straight win at the Buick and his fifth
' bvCTall at1S^'t)!eg(fs finlsf public course
set to host the '08 US Open. More importantly, it was Woods' seventh victory in a
row in PGA t our events, a streak topped
only by golfing legend Byron Nelson in
1945. That's right: it is the longest streak
in 62-years. In today's game the pressures
are much more intense. The advent of the
information age has sports writers tracking Tiger's every move. Also, the field of
golfers in each tournament has increased
tremendously in that time. Golf is an international sport, and Tiger has to beat players
from New Zealand, Japan, Fiji, and every
other country's top ranked performers.
The win was tournament victory No. 55
(fifth all-time), and his eighth in San Diego
County. He has won at La Costa three times.
On Thursday, Tiger found himself five
shots back after a course record tying 61 by
tour rookie Brandt Snedeker. The twentysix year old, who said it was like playing
the Tiger Woods video game, was stalked
and eventually caught by the world's No.
1 ranked player. Each event Tiger enters
seems to have some early fireworks by a
fresh face or seasoned veteran. On Sunday,
Woods lurked a few shots back ready to
pounce. It doesn't seem to matter the situation, Tiger can overcome just about any lay
from any angle. Even landing in the bunker
16 times in thefinaltwo days netted only
bne bogeyf%afis due to focus and a bril- '
liant short game. Going up against Tiger
Woods on Sunday is like running from a
tornado; better duck and cover, because it
will go right over you. While the youngsters fell back and the veterans played
well, Tiger was busy shooting the lowest
score of thefinalround to walk away with
$936,000. When the pressure mounts, he
seems to get better. While other golfers
are happy to get a top ten finish, Woods
considers that a loss. Anything other than
first is a bad weekend. Golf is not supposed to be played with that mentality.
A tour player should plug along through
the season, finishing in the money, finding some consistency, and getting a win
here and there. The attitude of Tiger
Woods is that of a different breed. He
goes into every tournament trying to win.
It is his incredible mental ability that separates him from the other golfers in his
era and elevates Tiger Woods as one of
the best players to ever swing the clubs. In
April, Woods will attempt to get his fifth
green jacket at the Masters Tournament in
Augusta, Georgia. That's enough to start a
basketball team. Only Jack Nicklaus with
six has more. Nicklaus, with eighteen, is
the only man with more major championships than Woods who has twelve. At
31-years-old, Woods is two thirds of the
way to Jack Nicklaus. If he can win all
four majors this year and the masters next
April, Tiger Woods will be gunning to tie
a legend here in San Diego at a place he
is pretty comfortable - Torrey Pines. It is
not a likely scenario, but with Tiger Woods
nothing is' impossible.

life and Debt' -Global call ta actian
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
I don't know about any one
else, but it seems like everything, „ every global activist
organization, every global call
to action, and every celebrity,
has their eyes set on Africa
right now. Whether it's Darfur,
Uganda, the exploitation of
child soldiers, or the horrendous AIDS epidemic that continues to decimate the whole
of the African continent, there
doesn't seem to be too much
talk or any media eyes on anything besides Africa and the
war in Iraq, which doesn't get
enough coverage at that.
Keeping all of that in mind,
however, there is a place,
a small place that is being
destroyed and uprooted by the
American dollar, which no one
seems to know about. That
place is Jamaica. Jamaica? You
might be asking yourself. Yes.
Jamaica. Many of us think of
Jamaica as home to Bob Marley,
the origin of Reggae music, and
as a tropical dream vacation
destination, and that's about it.
There is much more to Jamaica,
however, than meets the eye,
or should I say, than meets the
mainstream media.
Here is where "Life and Debt,"
a film by Stephanie Black comes
into play. Utilizing the text from
Jamaica Kincaid's "A Small
Place," a story about economic
strife, life and tourism in Antigua (another Caribbean island
and Kincaid's place of origin) as
an overlay and contextual frame
for her purpose, Black opens the about the bang for their buck and naive on this matter; or perhaps

Jock Talk With Josh:
Barry Bonds

Bonds is
yet to resign with
the San Francisco Giants for
the upcoming season. Major
League Baseball is partly to
blame since they denied an
agreement between the two
parties. The reason for concern is because the contract
had a stipulation that said the
Giants could terminate the
contract if Bonds was indicted
on steroids charges.
What many people don't
know is that there were other
stipulations in that contract
that could have terminated
the deal at any point in the
season.
Clause IB stated: If the
defendant.. .1
mean.. .Mr.
Bonds shows any side effects
from steroids, the contract
shall be terminated. Things
that fall under this category
include the changing of skin
color from black to green,
exploding of purple pants, and
changing the name on the back
of his jersey to "The Incredible Hulk."
Clause 10J stated: If syringes
are found in possession of Mr.
Bonds then they better be for
the use of heroine and not for
the use of horse steroids.
Clause 16E stated: If Mr.
Bonds' is found grazing in the
outfield looking f or horse feed
then the contract shall be terminated.
Clause 24L stated: If Mr.
Bonds violently punches a
teammate in the face then it
better be because the teammate sat in Mr. Bonds' personal La-Z-Boy in the clubhouse. If the punch because
of "roid rage" then the contract
shall be terminated.
Clause 9W stated: In order
to prevent injury, Mr. Bonds is
not allowed to do certain things
for himself. The following services will be provided for him.
Mr. Bonds will be provided a
designated runner after base
hits in order to prevent knee
problems. Mr. Bonds will be
provided a designated driver
after home games so that he
doesn't have to think about
driving. Mr. Bonds will be
provided a designated "pharmacist" so that he can claim
ignorance if something tainted
should happen to appear in his
urine.
Clause 51Z stated: Mr. Bonds
will be subject to a weigh-in
every week. The weigh-in pertains just to his head. If the
weight of his head is in the
neighborhood of 50-pounds it
will be assumed that he is on
steroids and the contract shall
be terminated.
Clause 17C stated: If Mr.
Bonds hits less than 22
homeruns in the 2007 season
his "pharmacist" will be
relieved of his duties and Mr.
Bonds will have to pay back
half of his 2007 salary.
Clause 22G stated: During
the season, Mr. Bonds is
required to make 10 public
appearances, which - don't
include ones in front of a
judge.
Clause 34K stated: During
the season, Mr. Bonds is
required to perform three
public service announcements
in the fight against drug abuse.
Among the drugs Bonds feels
most strongly against are
Nyquil and Tylenol. The contract shall be terminated if he
fails to complete the P.S.A.'s.
THE
GRANDFATHER
CLAUSE: If Mr. Bonds breaks
Hank Aaron's all-time homerun record in 2007 all the prior
clauses will be null and void.
This contract was drawn up
by the Law o ffices of "Jock
Talk with Josh." Mr. Sandoval is available for hire at

the IMF, there are giant restrictions that are in place over Jamaica's economy, imports, exports,
and production (including labor).
It just doesn't seem right.
Politics aside, the f ilm d efinitely struck a chord within
me, and I strongly urge my
peers who haven't seen it, to
take an interest in it and speak
out on behalf of Jamaica. Overall, the f ilm r eaffirmed some
things I already knew—how
indifferent people can be as
well as insensitive our society
is to the needs of other countries, how fortunate we are
to live in America regardless
of our political leaders, how
little about the world I really
do know and understand, and
how there is so much more out
there than we ever see or hear
about because of the fact that
we do live in America. It also
taught me that nothing is as
it seems, and that as students
of this university, and students of any university for that
matter, have the opportunity
to do something because of the
academic and open environment we have at our disposal.
The words of one student can
incite the actions of thousands
of students. Therefore I dare
all of you to speak out. Give
Jamaica a voice; end their life
in debt.

Letter
to the
Editor:
Net
Neutrality
This email is in response to the
"The Freedom of the Internet"
article (Jan 31st). I am very proud
that such a serious issue such as
Net Neutrality has finally gotten
exposure in our school's paper. It
blows my mind that people, rather
telecom corporations, who had
nothing to do with the creation,
development, and distribution of
the internet feel they can take the
reigns of control over the content of OUR world wide web. Not
talking about this of brushing it
off will only aid the billion dollar
fat cats in their maniacal plot
to go Farenheit 451 on our only
remaining open media outlet. The
article was well researched and
presented very admirably. Probably the most important article
to grace the pages of The Pride
since I have started coming here.
Thanks Pride,
Christopher Thar

Midori, the premier bright green melon
liqueur, was first launched in the
United States in 1978 at Studio
54. Created by Suntory, Midori
was the glue to the hit drink
called "The Universe," which
is comprised of Midori, vodka,
pineapple juice, lime juice
and pistachio flavored liqueur.
Within five years of its release,
Midori instantly became a favorite of the masses, being sold in over
20 countries, with sales steadily
increasing at 200,000 cases sold
per year.
So, the next time you're at the bar,
or getting your groove on at a club
and want to enjoy a palette-tantalizing experience, a Midori Sour is for
you.

Artist Erick Otto visits CSUSM
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
On Friday, Feb. 9 the unveiling of Erik Otto's paintings and
installation, "Rooted Dreams,"
took place inside of Kellogg
Library.
Members of the community,
- Library staff and students joined
Otto as he walked through his
installation, describing his art
work and his motivation.
In Otto's installation, bird
houses painted red and blue
hang from branches above leaves
strewn on the library floor. A
colorful banner of cloth extends
from the installation on the third
floor to reach the fourth floor of
the library.
According to Otto, the bird
houses in his art work symbolize
the human form of a home. "A
place you go where you feel safe- to escape the busyness of the
world and to cultivate dreams,"
Otto said.
With many recurring images
in his work, one piece that stands
out from the rest is a character
Otto calls, "Rock guy." The rock
character reappears in Otto's
paintings along with the bird

Plan B. or the Morning
After Pill, is now available to
students over the counter at
the Student Health and Counseling Services, amongst various other services. In nine
states, including California,
the FDA has changed restrictions to allow individuals that
are 18 and older to obtain
the product over the counter,
while individuals under 17
can obtain the product with a
prescription.
CSUSM student, Laura
Contreras shares her perspective. "I think the right to
choose is a good idea, but it
should not be available over
the counter. I'm worried that
younger women, who might
not be informed, may use the
morning after pill as a form of
contraception without understanding their other options."
At the CSUSM Health
Center, the cost for the pill is
$25.00. Male or female students can purchase the product, with or without counseling, up to two times per
month. After the second time
in a month, an appointment
is required. The main reason
for requiring an appointment
is because the product is not
intended for frequent use, nor
does it substitute birth control. Users should know that
the product is advertised as
up to 89% effective for reducing pregnancy risk, and does
not protect from STD's. Nursing Major Naomi Strong said,
"I personally believe that the
plan B pill is a good backup
method to birth control. However, I don't think that the
pill should be used as a routine. Women should take the
necessary precautions and
be responsible when having
intercourse but people do
make mistakes which also

chance to apply and study for an
academic year in Australia, New
Zealand and South Africa.
The application date for Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa is May 1. A decision on
whether the student is qualified to go will be made in late
August. A complete application
must contain an IP Application,
two faculty recommendations
and official university transcripts
from all colleges and universities
attended. According to the CSU
International Programs website,
"Admission of a student is based
on academic, linguistic, and personal qualifications, and on the
appropriateness of the students'
proposed plan of study to their
degree objective." There is no
application fee, and those looking
to apply are best advised to meet
with an IP Campus Coordinator.
An academic year of studying
abroad is beneficial to students
because not only does it take
time to culturally assimilate to
your new surroundings, but the
extensive amount of time also
crosses the line of being a visitor
into becoming a true resident in
the community in which you are
studying. Stockey understands
the importance of spending an
academic year abroad and said,
"Year long programs provide an
even greater opportunity for a
richer cultural experience."
IP enrollment fees are kept at
an affordable rate because student costs are partially supported
by the State of California. The
cost of studying abroad is dependent on what country you wish to
study and their economic situation. Students pay for their own
housing, transportation, meals
and any extra costs. Scholarships
and financial aid are available.
However, what the CSU International Programs website considers to be most important is the
expérience you attain by studying
abroad and considers studying
abroad "A long-term investment
in yourself and in your future."
Students do receive credit
for all coursework that is completed while abroad. All completed coursework is considered
CSU resident credit. Academic
Reports are prepared by the
Office of International Programs,
who converts host university
information into CSU campus
terms. Students must meet with
a counselor prior to their departure in order to understand how
the work the student completed
abroad applies within their scope
of requirements.
Should students have any further inquiries on studying abroad
they can visit the CSUSM website of global affairs at http://

One of the many benefits of
being a member of the CSU
system is that it provides students
with the opportunity to study in
19 different countries. Studying
abroad allows students to engross
themselves in an atmosphere
that is not only academically
stimulating, but also makes for
a life-long experience. CSUSM
International Programs advisor,
Jan Stockey said, "Studying in
another country brings a dimension to your education that you
cannot imagine." As students
separate themselves from what
is familiar, students challenge
themselves to exist in a foreign
place. In meeting new people and
encountering new experiences,
students acquire a new understanding of not only themselves,
but the world around them. As of

With these things in mind, our status
and the remaining steps toward completion of the signalization of the intersection at Palm Canyon and Craven, as well
as traffic control at the crosswalk from Lot
C to the Dome, are as follows:
• The engineer has completed the
design of the intersection of Palm
Canyon and Craven. The University
requested this design shortly after fall
semester's accident.
• The President's Executive Council
allocated an initial $75,000 to
Facilities Development and
Management to begin work on this
projeqt.
• The cost estimates for the project,
which includes design, installation,
inspection, and
• contingency, is $300,000. The
University will need to fund the
additional $225,000.
• The University is required to follow
a bidding process which takes
approximately two
• months. The University can now
begin advertising for bidders and
anticipates that it will
• take at least 10 weeks to procure the
equipment.
• Last fall, I indicated that we anticipated
completion in spring 2007. The process
took a little longer than projected and
we now expect to complete the project
during summer 2007.
Other plans that we are developing or
considering: • Sponsor an education campaign

on second with a game tying
RBI double.
The game remained tied
1-1 as both teams missed
opportunities with runners
on base. After Lerno got a
clutch two out strikeout on a
close pitch with runners on
first and second, Vanguard
Coach Beth Renkoski was
kicking up dirt near the visiting dugout. The umpire was
inconsistent but Lento said,
"He got better as the game
went on." The teams played
into extra innings where
each side gets to start their
half inning with a runner on
second base. Vanguard was
able to get a run in the eighth
despite the brilliant play by
Lerno and her catcher Preovolos on a squeeze attempt.
The Cougars failed to get
a run in the bottom of the
eighth and lost the game 21.
It was a hard fought game
and led Coach Milo to say
the team is "getting used to
each other." She was also
happy with the performance
of Lerno in the loss saying,
"she just got stronger and
stronger out there."
As for the extra inning
"International Rule" where
the inning starts with a
runner on second base,
Coach Milo said, "to me it
doesn't show the better team,
but we both do get it. Sometimes it falls your way and
sometimes it doesn't." Freshman Erica Coelho seemed to
like it saying you're guaranteed "no ties." It is reminiscent of college football when
each team gets the ball at the
25 yard line in overtime.
The Cougar softball program has already beaten then

Making the grade: No grade inflation at CSUSM
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
Paula Montagna, a graduate
student here at Cal State University San Marcos in Literature and
Writing, transferred here with a
4.0 GPA. During her undergraduate studies, she received one A-.
Her GPA is now a 3.9 without any
method of making it higher. "By
using a grading criteria in which
students may earn an A-, but
offering no option to earn an A+,"
said Montagna, "CSUSM uses a
grading system which punishes
students for their imperfections,
rather than reward students for
their achievements."
Is an "A+" an ever-elusive
grade at this school? How did
our current grading system get
implemented? What is the philosophy behind it? Founding faculty
member Larry W. Cohen, professor emeritus of biology, has some
of the answers.
About why grades top out at A,
he said, "We (the Founding Faculty) wrestled with the question
ourselves at the time but decided
to stay with the long-established
standard of 'A' as the top possible grade rather than opening
the possibility of escalating to
A+, A++, etc. and undermining
the integrity of the A." The plus/
minus system of grading is meant
to indicate the subtleties of students' performance.
Cohen also sheds light on the
possibility of attaining an A+.
"Over the years at CSUSM, I did
issue A+ grades on occasion. The
grade went to one or two people
whose performance was way out
ahead of even the other 'A' students. I would estimate, after
looking over my grade books,
that it was with a frequency of
about 1-2 per hundred." The
grade of A+ shows up on the transcript, but is not calculated into
the grade point average as more
than just a regular A.
Grade inflation was one of the
concerns of the Founding Faculty when instituting the grading
policy. Cohen said, "Too many
faculty are concerned with being
popular and for them A+ may
become the typical A grade, fulfilling the fears of the Founding
Faculty when they considered the
question."
Grade inflation, according to
national statistics, has been a problem among postsecondary institutions since at least the 1980s. It
is defined as the increase of the
number of high grades over time,
and is often associated with lax academic standards. With more and
more students achieving higher
grades, it is easy to conclude that
standards have been slipping; with
students reporting that they contribute less effort than those who had
preceded them, it is conclusive to
attribute the higher grades phenom-
enon on the institution and not on
students simply becoming smarter.
Many measures have been taken
by other universities to combat
grade inflation. Some universities
limit the number of A' grades a
professor may give. Jennifer Diffley, an alumnus of Brigham Young
University reported, "It was impossible to get anything higher than a
D at BYU. The professors made
it their personal mission to ensure
that no one ever received A's on
assignments. It was to avoid a little
thing called 'grade inflation.'"
While CSUSM does not employ
such harsh tactics, grade inflation is still a concern according to
Cohen who helped to implement
our current grading systeip.
CSUSM celebrates Black History Month

"I still have a dream. It is
a dream deeply rooted in the
American dream. I have a dream
that one day this nation will rise
up and live out the true meaning of its creed: - 'We hold these
truths to be self-evident, that all
men are created equal.'" - Martin
Luther King Jr.
February marks the annual
celebration of "Black History
Month," for Americans nationwide. What began on February
12, 1926 as the first celebration
created by Dr. Carter Godwin
Woodson, a Harvard Scholar,
has now become the nationally observed "Black History
Month." Traditionally celebrated
in the second week of February,
Dr. Woodson chose to celebrate
African American history in
February as a tribute to Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, both of whom Woodson felt
had a significant impact on African American history, and both
of whom celebrated birthdays in
the month of February. Honoring

�The history of University 'Voice
Voleotioes Day
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Ah, Valentine's Day. The day set aside
for lovers to share their feelings for one
another. The day dreaded by single people
around the world. The day chocolate and
flower vendors make a fortune, and the
day that cupid makes his presence known,
shooting heart-tipped arrows off into
oblivion hoping to inflict hopeless romantics and lovebirds with la amour.
Many might be wondering how the
uber-commercialized holiday came about,
while others could care less as long as the
chocolates and candy-studded greetings
continue to abound. For those, however,
who are curious, Valentine's Day as we
know it is said to be a combination of an
event and a historical person. The event is
said to have begun in the pagan times of
ancient Rome, with the annual celebration
of a fertility festival called the "Feast of
Lupercalia," which traditionally occurred
in mid-February. The festival was known
for pairing the mating of young men and
women each year through a sweepstake
arrangement. More often than not, it is
said that the arranged couple would fall in
love and eventually marry.
Also linked to the Valentine's Day festival, are the infamous legends of Saint Valentine of Rome. Saint Valentine lived in
Rome under the sovereignty of Emperor
Claudius II. To retain a valiant army,
Emperor Claudius incessantly enlisted
soldiers, but to his misfortune was able
keep soldiers, because the majority of
men did not want to join his army because
of their commitment to their wives and
families. Upon realizing this, Claudius
forbade all engagements and marriages in
Rome. Thus, Valentine, an idealistic and
romantic priest began to organize secret
marriages for young couples. As soon as
Claudius unveiled Valentine's treachery,
he imprisoned Valentine, and later executed him on Feb. 14, circa 270 A.D. Subsequently, Valentine became the patron
saint for lovers during the Middle Ages
in France and England. Then in 498 A.D.,
Pope Gelasius chose to end the celebration of the pagan festival, "Feast of Lercalia," and thus declared February 14 St.
Valentine's Day.
Exchanging "valentines" and love notes
is one of the central elements of Valentine's Day. It is rumored that this practice
began with Saint Valentine himself, who
while in prison fell in love with a young
girl, thought to have been the jailor's
daughter. Prior to his execution, it is supposed that he wrote her a love letter, which
he signed: "From your Valentine."
It is also said that Valentine's Day falls
on Febr 14 each year because during the
Middle Ages in England and France that
date marked the commencement of bird
mating season.
Furthermore, the oldest accounted
for Valentine is said to have been written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans,
while he was imprisoned in the Tower of
London.
Nonetheless, though the rumors and
allegation surrounding Saint Valentine
seem to flow in abundance, they all have
one thing in common; they portray Saint
Valentine as a heroic and romantic man,
suggesting that Valentine's Day should be
a day for love and romance.

As a child, Pennypacker's
favorite books were "Treasure
Island," "Black Beauty," and "The
Yearling." Her decision to write a
children's book, however, didn't
come until sjie was raising her

for the character of Clementine
was her two children. It is understandable, then, how attached
she becomes to her characters: "I
carry my characters around." Her
son especially lent specific character traits to Clementine - his
impulsive, distracted temperament, characteristic of Attention
Deficit Disorder,-combined with
his artistic, empathetic nature,
also characteristic of ADD.
Pennypacker said that she wanted
to show the positive aspects of
ADD without belittling the difficulties. As a result, all of the
adults in "Clementine" are very
supportive of the third-grader. "I
wish the world had [told my son],
'What a wonderful artist you

When speaking of the writing process, Pennypacker refered to "flow." "There-is a feeling of Tightness when you tap in

Theater Review
*®The Four cf Us"
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
Itamar Moses had the audience
laughing out loud at his latest
play "The Four of Us," currently
running at the Old Globe Theater. Located in Balboa Park near
downtown San Diego, the Old
Globe is one of the town's first
professional theaters, hosting 50
minute versions of Shakespeare
back in 1935. The Cassius Carter
Centre Stage was renovated out
of the original restaurant, the Falstaff Tavern in 1965. This 225
seat arena is incredibly intimate.
The stage is in the center, and the
actors perform to every angle,
giving everyone the feeling of
nearness to the action. With the
360 degree seating, only four
rows occupy each side, so every
seat is a good one.
In "The Four of Us," actors
Gideon Banner (Benjamin) and
Sean Dugan (David) experience
friendship while entering the life
o £a writer. The play opens by
dropping the audience into the
middle of a conversation at lunch
regarding Benjamin signing his
first book deal. David, who has
chosen to go into playwriting,
has yet to have any recognition
of his talent. The sarcastic wit of
actoiiSean Dugan and tfte clever
dialogue written by Itamar Moses
reveal the envy and resentment
going on in the mind of David.
The play goes through confusing shifts in time, clueing the
audience in with the clothing of
the cast and their conversation.
However, the relationship of the
rieedy David and the affable Benjamin is hilarious. They've been
friends since a summer camp
after high school and have seen
each other grow into separate
careers in writing. Along the way
they share the awkwardness of
dating and money-making.
The acting in this play was
very well done. Sean Dugan, who
has appeared in HBO's dynamic
cellblock series OZ and episodes
of the Law & Order series, did a
brilliant job as David. His sniveling jealousy is believable, while
Gideon Banner, with strictly theatre experience, plays the success-won't-change-me role with
a real air of pride. Yet, with only
two actors, the back and forth
gets a bit tiresome at spots.
There seems to be an inward
reflection by playwright Itamar
Moses. He pokes fun at the literary field and its ability to create
celebrities andpoison friendships.
Moses is considered the next big
thing in the theater crowd, having
much critical acclaim in New
York City and nationally. At 29
years old, Moses' future seems
very bright. : K ^HJ , :
Bring your thinking cap to this
very clever comedy surrounded
by some cheap laughs at an abundant use of the "F" word. With
cigarette-smoking on stage and a
male bonding marijuana puffing
session, "The Four of Us" is most
definitely intended for a mature
audience.

�Movie Review
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
"The Messengers" is the stateside directing debut of Danny
and Oxide Pang. Isn't "Oxide" an
original name? It is pretty much
the most original thing about this
film, as the Pang brothers borrow
elements of three or four other
horror movies and mix it up into
90 minutes of tired horror cliché.
Instead of exploring the possibility that children can see things
that grownups cannot (as the
trailers for this movie implied),
the film goes off into a very different direction that fails to make
any sense.
What kills me the most is how
much potential this movie had
and how much was wasted in
falling back on the already-doneto-death horror tricks. You'll see
psychotic crows reminiscent of
Hitchcock's "The Birds," contorted
crawling-on-the-walls
ghosts which gives you "The
Grudge" deja vu, and a giant
haunted house similar to — I
don't know — every horror movie
«
T V Messengers fails to deliver
ever made.
The ' story follows the Solomon family who move to North
Dakota from Chicago in hopes of
making a fortune on cultivating
sunflower seeds. The dad, Roy
(Dylan McDermott), and mom,
Denise (Penelope Ann Miller),
are the oblivious parental duo.
Roy is a hard-working farmer
with an undeniable determination and a body way too hot for
a dad. Denise is a typical 1950sstyle housewife whose fortes
include bed making and making
a killer glass of lemonade. Jess
(Kristen Stewart) is their teenage
daughter who is deeply affected
by something horrible that happened in Chicago. Ben (played by
twins Evan and Theodore Turner)
is the toddler who, conveniently,
cannot talk but sees much.
Right before planting time,
Roy meets up with a mysterious
drifter (John Corbett) whom he
hires on the spot after learning
his first name. Meanwhile, the
house is playing tricks on Jess
and Ben who are the only ones
harassed by ghosts.
The actors, most notably Stewart, whose past credits include
"The Panic Room" and "Cold
Creek Manor," do an amazing job
with what they are given. Stewart
is wonderful in this role, giving
her character the balance of
maturity and innocence. McDermott, of "The Practice," gives a
sincere and believable performance as a dad who is trying to
hold his family together. Miller
never misses a beat as a protective and over concerned mother.
The Turner brothers play a wonderfully creepy part, which is a
credit to them and the directors.
Corbett plays his role so suavely
that you almost doubt he is a
threat to the Solomon family.
The music and sound design
were both done nicely. Though
the music was a very obvious cue
to what is going to happen next,
the score was well-written and
well utilized. The sound design,
in particular, was eerie and scary
without going overboard into
cliché-land. Possibly the only
time I was even a little frightened
during this film was due to the
excellently crafted sound.
The direction and cinematography both were not too unoriginal
but seemed to take you too much
out of the experience instead of
bringing you in.
Overall, the plot is the thing
that gets in the way of this movie
the most. Apart from the fact that
moviegoers had to suffer through
tired, recycled horror tactics, the
movie simply did not make any
sense at the end. Small plot holes
are easy to ignore, but when they
are as big as the sunflower field
on screen, they go from ignorable to extremely annoying in
less time than it says to say "The
Messengers." And, after seeing
this entire movie and taking
pretty good notes, I still have no
idea why it is even called that. If
you enjoy pointing out plot holes
and mocking movie discrepancies, this film was made for you.
Otherwise, "The Messengers" is
completely skippable.

Icy and drizzling weeks in

Drink of the Week
Ck/OooLfote,
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
The scrumptious secret of the
bean of the cacao tree is arguably the greatest discovery in
world history. Those who may
scoff at this assertion will,
wild-eyed, change their opinion
when their mouths are stuffed
with the ambrosial marvel that
is chocolate.
As the story goes, the Aztecs
discovered the aphrodisiac
potential of chocolate. Hundreds of years later, the association between chocolate and love
lives on. The link is not only
found in history and lore but
in the chemistry of the human
brain. The high we experience
when happy or in love involves
the discharge of chemicals
phenylethylamine and serotonin by the brain into the nervous system. Chocolate contains these same mood enhancing agents.
It is, then, no surprise why
ardent suitors and the happily
married alike buy up armfuls of
See's and Godiva chocolates for
Valentine's Day. We delight in
experimenting on our loved ones
MfcirtLiisL'
and ourselves, entertaining ourselves with a grown-up version
of playing doctor.
If the mad chemist in you is
dying to get out this Valentine's
Day, why not introduce him
or her to your inner bartender.
Meet the Chocolate Martini - a
cocktail glass full of the most
indulgent love potion imaginable. Smooth and creamy, this
libidinous libation is best when
enjoyed with your sweetie.
To make a pair of delicous
Choco 'tinis you need:
1 1/2 shots chocolate liqueur
(I used Godiva.)
v 1 1/2 shots creme de
cacao
1/2 shot vodka (I recommend Absolut Vanilia.)
2 1/2 shots half-and-half
Chocolate syrup to garnish
Chocolate shavings to garnish
Swirl chocolate syrup in two
chilled cocktail glasses.
Mix all ingredients
except for syrup and
shavings in a shaker
with ice, shake, and
strain into glasses.
Garnish with chocolate shavings. Enjoy!

hot wet blankets were also placed over
their heads, and plastic bags were used
for asphyxiation. According to their
accounts, they were forced to make
statements after extensive abuse, and
also forced to wave their rights to an
attorney.
Hank Jones, 70, and Ray Boudreaux,
64, two former Black Panthers, were
scheduled to speak as part of the CSUSM
event, but were arrested on January
23, 2007 for this same case from over
thirty years ago. The morning of February 14, one of the scheduled speakers,
Boudreaux appeared in court at 9AM
for charges of murder and conspiracy,
along with former Black Panthers Richard Brown, Henry Watson Jones, and
Richard O'Neal. Ages 55-71, they Were
brought in to Judge Donna Little's courtroom handcuffed and shackled at the
ankles.
Dr. Jodie Lawston from the sociology
department opened Wednesday's event
with a brief synopsis of the situation, and
expressed how she considered canceling
the event under the circumstances. She.
went on to say, "I feel that the people who
experience such oppression, directly,
should be able to speak about it." She
explained that the night before Ray Boudreaux had called to make a statement.
Dr. Lawston states, "Ray called the Freedom Archives last night, and he wanted
to tell everybody who came to this event
that he was very sorry he could not be
here today. He said, please tell everyone
I wanted to be there but can not."
After the film, Dr. Lawston and Dr.
Elise opened the room to discussion.
Dr. Elise clarified one student's question by saying, "You're question is why
would they pursue them so adamantly
even though they were innocent?" In
response to the question Dr. Elise stated,
"If you read about Cointelpro and its
relationship to the Black Panther Party,
you will see that they were out to destroy
the Black Panther Party under any ruse."
Dr. Lawston chimed in, "Two of the men
who were arrested in 1971 were listed in
Cointelpro as having to be neutralized.
Neutralized was the exact language they
used."
Dr. Elise describes the persistent
harassment of Black Panthers as a "mockery of liberty and justice," that fuels protests against police brutality. She shared
about the film, "I was particularly struck
by the film's point that the continuing
pursuit of law-abiding Black Panther
Party members is furthered by the Patriot
Act that is invoked to justify their recent
incarcerations based on the inclusion of
statements extracted decades ago during
torture by the police "
According to BlackPanther.org, in
October 1966, the late Huey P. Newton
and Bobby Seale founded the organization, originally called The Black Panther
Party for Self Defense. The organization focused on the fight for basic human
rights, as the video mentioned. The Party
set up several community programs such
as the Free Breakfast Program. Soon, the
Black Panther Party became the target of
the FBI's Cointelpro, Counterintelligence
Program that focused on "neutralizing"
civil rights activists. August 29 1971,
Sgt. John V. Young was shot inside the
Ingelside Police Station. According to,
Freedomarchives.org, in 1973, thirteen
men were arrested for supposedly having
a role in Young's murder. The video,
''Legacy of Torture: The War Against the
Black Liberation Movement," portrays
the accounts of these men, in their own
words, of how they were tortured during
interrogation. In 1975, a court threw out
the evidence obtained from these torturous interrogations. In 2003, the Department of Defense Te-opened the case with
funding from the Department of Homeland Security. For more information

�Sex workshop brings crowd to Clarke Field House
BY TIFFANIE HOANG
Pride Staff Writer
On Tuesday, Feb. 13, Health
Educator Cathy Nguyen and Passion Party Representative Jackie
Weber Cruz held an informative
event on sex at the Clarke Field
House as students ate creamfilled pastries.
According to the pink "Sex
and Cream" flyer advertising
the event to be "An informative workshop on safer sex and
includes demonstration of sensual products that includes alternative sexual items." The event at
the Clarke Field House translated
into: useful services that our
SHCS Student Health and Counseling Services center provides,
along with a basket full of lube
and condoms. SHCS also introduced everything from vibrators to nipple cream. In addition to playing with sex toys and
having a stranger administrate
lube to the entire room, a generous amount of mini-pastries were
readily available.
SHCS's Health Educator,
Nguyen, thoroughly and efficiently educated the room on the
differences between bacterial
and viral STI's (sexually .transmitted infections). Nguyen also

first hand-job." The hand job was
basically a hand massage given
by a soft purple rubber glove with
"rows and rows of flexible jelly
nubs." The seminar also included
edible massage creams, lubes
and powders, along with various
vibrators and a peculiar "lifelike
masturbation sleeve" by the name
of Gigi which Cruz said, as she
addressed the women in the audience, will "swallow for you if you
don't want to." Though certain
people admitted that they left the
seminar smelling like catsup and
mulch because of the pheromones
that Cruz said, "have different
smells on everybody," most students left with a different take on
how to spend Valentine's Day.
For additional information on
HIV and STI testing, students can
visit the SHCS website at http://
www.csusm.edu/shcs/NEWSHCS/services Jitml. For a look at

mentioned the services available at the SHCS center and provided a rendition of the "Twelve
Days of Christmas" sang as "The
Twelve STI's of Christmas;"
complete with stick figure animation of various diseases. Bacterial STI's such as Chlamydia are
often receptive to treatment with
antibiotics whereas viral STI'S
such as herpes are the fun ones
that stay with you. Nguyen also
brought to attention the importance of being tested and said,'
"Every first Wednesday of the
month, the health center provides
free HIV testing, and you can
get results within 20 minutes."
The testing is also anonymous
and operates on a walk-in basis.
Health Education was brought to
an end with STI jeopardy and a
free hand out offlavoredlube and
condoms.
The sex toys, lubes and creams
were administrated and displayed
by Jackie Weber Cruz, who

Students
& Faculty
Stand Together to
The CSU faculty fights for student
Interests every day. That's why the administration wants to break our union. They want
us to shut up about the 76% Jump in student
fees since 2002 (and about their plan to hike
them another 10% per year from now till
2011). They want us to keep quiet while they
increase class sizes and slash outreach
budgets. But public universities should be
affordable and accessible for all. We won't
stand by while they wreck the CSU!
W hy won't we sign the administration's contract?
We've gone five years with almost no raises, but their
salary offer won't even keep up with inflation. And it
won't change the fact that the CSU pays almost 20%
Jess than similar schools around the country. A great
education takes great teachers, but skimpy salaries are
driving good people out.
iiiiriiitlJillili
Faculty have not decided to strike yet, but will be voting
soon on whether to hold job actions. These may include
two-day walkouts designed to send a strong message
to the administration without keeping students from
graduating on time.
if we don't take action, faculty won't be able to afford to teach here and students
will be priced out of school. Our working conditions are your learning conditions. And we all deserve the very best! It's time to stand together to save our
school. We hope we can count on your support.

�New chewable contraceptive offers flavor to fans of the pill
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
The first oral contraceptive pill
was approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration in
1960. Today, more than 11 million
American women are currently
taking an oral contraceptive, and
research shows that 80 percent of
all U.S. women born since 1945
have used the pill. There is currently another option out there for
women who use oral contraceptives. Femcon Fe, the chewable
version of Ovcon 35, was released
in September o f2006 by international pharmaceutical company
Warner Chilcott of Rockaway,
NJ. The new chewable version
is spearmint flavored to not only
reduce the risk of pregnancy,
but ensure fresh breath as well.
When taken correctly, oral contraceptives have a failure rate of
less than one percent per year.
However, studies show that 47
percent of women miss one or
more pills per month and missing
pills can increase the risk of pregnancy. The idea is that women
who have a problem swallowing
pills, no matter how small, now
have a choice. Warner Chillcot
is also marketing Femcon Fe as
appealing to the mint and gum
chewing population of females.
Someone who may forget to take
their birth control pill at a consistent time daily may be more
likely tp chew on one. The packet
comes in a twenty-eight day regimen. There are twenty-one round
white tablets followed by seven
green (inactive) tablets to complete a four week cycle. It can be
swallowed or chewed. If chewed
then swallowed, it is important to drink a full eight-ounce
glass of water to wash it down.
CSUSM Senior Elizabeth Sheets
discussed the matter, "I think it
is improbable that a chewable
pill will make you less likely
to forget." She did not see the
advantage to the spearmint flavor
as an attraction saying, "It's still
the pill, you know?"
Another selling point of theflavor is an appeal to the younger
generation of women that are
looking for a desirable form of
oral contraceptive. Young women
who may lead a sporadic lifestyle
with no regular routine can take
Femcon Fe on the go. The intention of marketing to teenagers
led CSUSM Senior Desiree Silva
to remark, "Are they trying to
encourage young girls to be sexually active?" She raises a good
point, but contraceptives are not
strictly for sexually active women.
They can regulate the menstrual
cycle and decrease bleeding.
Oral contraceptives may provide
benefits other than prevention of
unintended pregnancy including protection against ovarian
cancer, benign breast disease,
pelvic inflammatory disease, and
iron-deficiency anemia. The 75
milligrams of iron contained in
the green "dummy" pills, taken
during week four of the twentyeight day cycle, helps to fight
iron-deficiency anemia. The
risks are similar to that of other
oral contraceptives. Blood clots,
heart attack, and stroke are all
possible side effects. The wholesale price is $44.
Femcon Fe is not currently
available at the Student Health
and

HPV and Gardasil, you could be "one less"
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
For many women, cervical
cancer is important and valid
concern. Until recently though,
there was no safeguard or precaution available to women to
protect themselves from the
uncertainty of cervical cancer;
and one known cause for cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus, also referred to as
HPV. HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can be carried
and transferred through sexual
contact by both men and women.

Karen Blattner, the Nurse Practitioner for the CSUSM Student

in her column linked from the
SHCS website.
Gardasil is currently available
at SHCS for female students,
as the vaccine has not yet been
approved for men. Yet although
the vaccine is available to students
at SHCS, it is still an expensive
vaccine. Dr. Karen Nicholson, the
Medical Director for SHCS said:
"[the vaccine] does cost money,
the charge at the health center is
$120 per shot and it is a three shot
series given over six months. This
is costly and can be a problem. If
students have health insurance,
we encourage them to verify with
their insurance company whether
or not the vaccine is covered. If
it is covered, we recommend that
students use their insurance to
obtain the vaccine. For students
without health insurance, or who
have insurance that doesn't cover
the vaccine, Merck, the m anufacturer of Gardasil, has a pre-
scription-assistance program that
would allow students to get the
vaccine for free. Students must
meet the criteria established by
Merck in order to get the vaccine for free. For questions about
this process, please contact our
Health Records Technician, Shelley Ross, and she will be able to
assist you."
If students have further questions about Gardasil, Dr. Nicholson encourages them to visit or
make an appointment at SHCS.
"We have lots of printed material
about Gardasil, as well information on our website. Students are
also given this information during
visits with our Health Educator or
with the Medical providers."
SHCS is open Monday-Friday
from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.
located at 120 Craven Road
(directly across Twin Oaks Valley
road from campus).

�Cinderella bill turns drinking
The "Green Team" makes a
on 21st birthday into fairy tale clean sweep for Recyclemania
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
The fermentation of sugar creates
alcohol. This ancient process has withstood history and remains in many societies throughout the world. Breweries
and wineries utilize fermented sugar
to produce beer and wine. The current
drinking age for such beverages in the
U.S. remains 21. However, dissimilar times and days for drinking differ
amongst the states. Georgia restricts
the sale of liquor on Sundays while Las
Vegas allows for consumption of alcoholic beverages night or day any day of
the week.
Consumption of alcoholic beverages
has lead to many traditions, especially
on 21st birthdays. Venturing out to a bar
at the stroke of midnight on a 21st birthday remains popular amongst society.
"I went to the bar at 11:55 p.m. to kick
off the day," said Junior DeLacy Brown
a Liberal Studies major, who recently
turned 21 in early February.
"I went into the clubs the second the
clock stroked midnight," said Junior
Michael McBride.
When asked if the tradition of drinking at midnight on 21st birthdays
remains popular, Brown said "[it's] very
much alive," as McBride said, "I think it
is strong and alive." They also stated that
there were no mishaps during their night
of drinking at their fresh age of 21.
"Realizing that I was 21 and legally
able to drink, buy alcohol, [and] go
to bars whenever I wanted if I heeded
to made me feel like an adult," said
McBride.
However, the U.S. Senate is taking
aim at this tradition. The U.S. Senate
has passed House Bill 36, specifically
for Texas, which has become known
as the 'Cinderella Bill.' Under the proposed bill, people turning 21 would not
be able to consume alcoholic beverages
until 7 a.m. on their birthday. Similar
bills are currently either in effect or still
being proposed in other states. The bill
originates from Texas. State Rep. Rob
Eissler pioneered the bill after one of
his constituencies' son died the day of
"his 21st birthday due to a night of binge
drinking.
Under the 'Cinderella Bill' bars serving 21-year-olds before 7 a.m. will be
guilty of committing a Class A misdemeanor, will receive a $4,000 fine and
those whom served the alcohol could
serve possible jail time. Furthermore,
the bar could have its license for serving alcohol revoked or suspended.
The rationale for the bill lies in the
current situation created by legal hours
of drinking. In California 2 a.m. signifies the deadline for all consumption
and purchases of alcohol for the previous business day. If a person were to
begin drinking at 12:00 a.m. (as many
21-year-olds often do) in honor of tradition, and participate in what's known
as the "power-hour" (between midnight and 1 a.m.), they would only have
two hours to consume alcohol. The bill
hopes to discourage mass consumption
of alcohol between the wee hours in the
morning and in return prevent future
deaths.
Brown said, "I think [the Cinderella
Bill] is absolutely ridiculous! Almost
everyone I know celebrated their 21st
birthday at the bar at midnight. I understand that some may think newly capable drinkers won't be responsible drinking too much while celebrating, but just
a few more hours later isn't going to
benefit anyone."
CSUSM currently mandates an alcohol awareness program for all entering
freshmen, and the Student Health and
Counseling Services Center offers a
variety of alcohol education programs,
services, and peer advising.
SHCS is open Monday-Friday from
8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. located at 120
Craven Road (directly across Twin
Oaks Valley road from campus).

BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos is currently striving
to retain our title as "Grandmaster Recycling
Champions" in the RecycleMania competition, a national contest motivating schools
to cut down on waste. CSUSM has won the
competition for the past two years. The good
news is that CSUSM is currently first place
in the competition. The not so good news is
that we still have seven more weeks to go,
and any of the other 200+ participating college campuses nationwide still have a shot at
claiming the number one spot.
Recycling is relatively easy to do at
CSUSM. In fact, sometimes it is more difficult to find a trash can with all of the multitudes of recycling bins at our disposal. The
people responsible for CSUSM's wonderful recycling program call themselves the
Green Team which includes Facilities Services personnel Mui Sullivan, Steve Waiters, Carl Hansen and Ed Johnson. They are
in charge of deciding where to put trash and
recycling bins throughout the campus.
However, according to Green Team
member Ed Johnson, the members of the
Blue Crew are the guys doing the real work.
Blue Crew members can be seen collecting recycling items and trash wearing blue
shirts and driving white golf cart-type vehicles. Blue Crew members include James
Dimortino, Rafael Lopez, Nicolas Magana,
Gilbert Muffoz, Mike Tili and Green Team
representative Carl Hansen. These guys are
serious about recycling, and a large part of
why we are currently winning RecycleMa-
nia 2007 is because of their dedication. Nothing makes them sadder than to see recyclable
items in the trash, and although they do what
they can to make sure that everything that is
recyclable gets recycled, they do not have the
time to correct every trash can infraction.
"Give them support and a pat on the back,"
said Johnson.
A good way to show support for the Blue
Crew and RecycleMania is to recycle; and
around CSUSM, it is certainly not difficult
to do so. Recycling bins are everywhere,
and almost everything can be recycled.
Only items like yogurt cups, microwavable trays, Styrofoam, plastic grocery bags,
pizza boxes, non-jar and non-bottled glass,
high-gloss paper, napkins, tissue and spiral
notebooks cannot be recycled. Even batteries and printer cartridges can be recycled
on campus. Although our campus has bins
labeled "mixed paper" "bottles" and "cans,"
these are merely suggestions and any recyclable material can be placed in any recycle
bins. Johnson also says that faculty can help
with RecycleMania by doing their spring
cleaning before the contest ends on April 7.
The Facilities Services on campus have a
goal to reach zero waste, meaning that nothing is wasted. Their vision is to create a better
world starting with Cal State San Marcos.
According to statistics on the official
RecycleMania web site, CSUSM i s not only
first place in the grand champion category,
but also in the corrugated cardboard category. In the Per Capita Classic, CSUSM is
currently in fifth place. For more information about RecycleMania 2007 visit www.

�Chargers
c oaching exodus
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
A turbulent off season that
began as soon as the final gun
went off at Qualcomm stadium
Sunday January 14th, culminated
with the dismissal of Head Coach
Marty Schottenheimer. Soon
after the Chargers lost to twotime superbowl MVP Tom Brady
and the Patriots 24-21, the bizarre
happenings began. LaDanian
Tomlinson, who is Mr. Humble in
this age of the attention hoarding
star, took offense to the Patriots'
mimicry of Shawne Merriman's
sack dance on the Bolts logo at
mid-field. Tomlinson openly criticized Patriots Coach Bill Bellicheck for the way his team conducted themselves. A team with
three superbowl rings in this millennium should have a bit more
class, but L.T.'s comments were
uncharacteristic of the reigning
league MVP.
The Chargers had a choice to
make following a record setting
regular season that came crashing down in the playoffs in front
of the record home crowd of
68,810. Could the owners of the
franchise, the Spanos family,
actually fire a coach who had led
this team to win 14 games? The
Bolts two regular season losses
were by three points each, as was
the playoff loss. Coaches matter
most in close games. It's the decisions made in crunch time, when
the game is on the line that defines
a head coach. There is also that
little thing about the post season.
This game is about Superbowl
titles, of which the Chargers have
none.
Marty Schottenheimer is a
winner. He has 200 career regular season victories as a head
coach, sixth all-time. Every stop
has been a successful one. Teams
are better with Marty as head
coach than they were before he
arrived, that isn't in doubt. His
track record speaks for itself. The
problem is the post season. This
year was supposed to be different. With an eye-popping 5 up
and 12 down record in the playoffs, Marty was due to eventually
win one. Even with the best team
in the league on paper, Schottenheimer found a way to lose
when the stakes are highest. His
first playoff loss came during the
second Reagan Administration.
His last win, with Joe Montana
as his quarterback, was when
Bill Clinton was serving his first
term in the White House. He's
lost six straight since 1993. He's
been one-and-done nine times.
They've been tough and close;
eight have been by five points or
less, two have gone to overtime.
The players liked Schottenheimer. Chargers' General Manager A.J. Smith did not. Their
relationship was tenuous and
almost non-existent, even to the
point the two men had an intermediary when communicating.
After the gut-wrenching home
playoff loss to the Patriots many
fans were calling for the coach to
be fired. Schottenheimer had one
year left on his contract and the
offer to extend an extra year was
at a substandard rate. A.J. Smith
did not want Schottenheimer to
stay, that was obvious, but for
continuity's sake offered him one
year at less money than he was
currently making. Marty scoffed
at the offer and was in turn put in
the "lame-duck" category, when
a coach is in his final year. With
questions about their future, the
coaches under Schottenheimer
began a mass migration towards
job security. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, whose squad
led the league in points and produced an MVP in Tomlinson,
left to become the head coach
in Miami. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, architect of
a defense that led the league in
quarterback sacks, took the head
coaching job in Dallas. Linebacker's coach Greg Manusky is the
new defensive coordinator in S.F.
and tight end's coach Rob Chudzinski will be the offensive coordinator in Cleveland. The whirl
of the coaching carousel led to
even more dissension between
lame-duck Schottenheimer and
GM Smith. Marty wanted his
brother to interview for one of the
coaching vacancies, while Smith
couldn't stand having one Shottenheimer around.
So a month after the Chargers kicked their fans in the gut
one more time, Marty Schottenheimer was canned. The core
of this team is laden with great
young talent that's under contract
till 2009 or beyond. Even so, there
is a window of opportunity for a
team, and this town is eagerly
awaiting the chance to celebrate
a superbowl win. Let's hope GM
A. J. Smith and the Spanos family,
máke the right decisions in getting this team hungry to advance
deep into the playoffs following
the 2007 season.

�Letter to the Editor:
sensa tional journalism
[To The Pride]
I respect that you have taken the duties
of an Editor upon yourself and no doubt
it comes with much stress, however I am
a little worried about the tone of voice in
many of the articles.
Using the headlines "Something must be
done" and "Girl hit by car suffers minor
injuries," seems to be making a big deal out
of little news and reminds me of MSNBC or
FOX news. Sensational journalism is something that a university newspaper should
be trying to stamp out, rather than have
its own editor-in-chief promote it himself.
The press is a powerful tool, often called
the 4th branch of government because of
the power it wields, the use of headlines
that are informative and not inflationary is
paramount to a respectable print.
With a genuine concern for where my
university's newspaper is going,

Ballast Point Brewing Company is based in San Diego. In
1992, Ballast Point started Home
Brew Mart. In 1996 they decided
to build their own brewery in
the back of their store, and they
started brewing the September of
1996. They not only brew awardwinning beer but they will help
you get started brewing your
own.
Ballast Point currently distributes five award-winning beers,
Yellowtail Pale Ale, Calico
Amber Ale, Big Eye I.P.A., Black
Marlin Porter and Wahoo Wheat.
The one that I chose to enjoy was
the Ballast Point Yellowtail Pale
Ale.
. I was f irst introduced to
Yellowtail Pale Ale in Solana
Beach at the Fish House just
east of the 101 Highway. I was
ordering some of the world best
fish tacos and trying to decide
on a beer to wash them down
with. They have a fairly good
selection of beer there, so I was
having a hard time narrowing it down. I am a sucker for
local brews, so when they told
me that Ballast Point brews
and bottles their beer locally
in San Diego, I was sold. As
I sat down with my f ish tacos
and my own pitcher of Yellowtail, suddenly out of nowhere a
few friends showed up to help
me finish the beer. How they
knew where I was I still don't
know, but, as always, it was a
good time. Everyone enjoyed
the beer and most of my food.
Knowing that the beer didn't
travel more than 25 miles to
make it to my glass, made it
even more refreshing.
They Yellow Tail Pale Ale, is
know as a Kolsch type of beer.
Kolsch originated in Cologne,
Germany. The Yellow Tail
is brewed using wheat and is
pale in color. It is fermented
at warm temperatures with ale
yeast. Yellow Tale tastes like
a pilsner beer, but it has a hint
of fruitiness because of the
Tettnanger hops and ale yeast
that are used, although it is
less bitter than most German
beers. Ballast Point claims
that Yellow Tale is fermented
with yeast that they stole from
breweries in Cologne
Germany. Unlike most
ale, Yellow .Tail f inishes very smooth with
a very mild aftertaste.
In Cologne Germany,
Kolsch Beer is brewed by
21 breweries, which makes
Cologne the city with
the most breweries in the
world. Unfortunately for us,
however, none of those breweries export to the.U.S. So, we
only have a handful of breweries
that brew Kolsch beer and Ballast
Point is one of those. The Yellow
Tale Pale ale is their Kolsch
Beer.
Ballast Point beers are available at Beverages and More,
also you will find there are a few
local bars and restaurants that

Brewing Company
have it on tap. You can also visit
the brewery at 5401 Linda Vista
Road suite 406 San Diego, CA.
They will gladly give you a tour
of their facilities. For more information, please visit: www.BallastPoint.com

In an era where people can
choose the types of media that they
are exposed to, more and more
souls choose to live in a boxed up
frame of mind. They choose what
Internet sites to get their news;
they TiVo the types of television
programs they like, and they only
listen to the music they choose on
their MP3 players. People can now
choose to go throughout life without ever being exposed to a new
point of view. This is why a college education is so important: it
opens up the boxed-in minds of its
students. Cal State San Marcos not
only aims to open students' minds
through diversity-conscious educational programs, but through the
arts events on campus.
On Thursday, February 15, the
Tanosaki-Richards duo performed
for an audience in Arts 111. The
type of music the Tanosaki-Richards duo perform is a perfect
example of music the typical college student would not normally be
exposed to. Tanosaki-Richards's
piano and clarinet npiusic infuses
modern Japanese style music with
experimental sounds that many
people have never before heard.
The duo consists of pianist
Kazuko Tanosaki and clarinetist E. Michael Richards. The duo,
who are married to each other,
have been playing together since
1982. They met while pursuing
degrees at the University of San
Diego. Richards received his Ph.D.
from the University of San Diego
after getting his bachelor degree
at the New England Conservatory
and his masters at Yale School of
Music. Tanosaki has a bachelor
degree from the Kunitachi College of Music in Japan, a masters
from University of San Diego and
a DMA in piano performance and
literature from the Eastman School
of Music. As a duo, they have performed in various prestigious
venues ranging from the Piacenza
Conservatory in Milan, Italy to the
dux>
Lincoln Center in New York City.
The type of piano and clarinet
music they play is unlike anything
heard on a regular radio station. It
is not classical music, and it was
surprising to hear something so
different from instruments that
are so ordinary. They played five
different songs on Thursday, and
before performing, they explained
a little about each song.
The first song they played was
"Jakkyo (Quiet Sounds)" composed by Japanese artist Masao
Honma.- This song was particularly interesting because Richards played two different tones at
the same time with his clarinet.
u
Out Of a Blaze of Light" was
the next song performed. Written
by Japanese composer Hiroyuki
Itoh, the song featured clarinet
quarter tones $nd a multilayered timing technique used by
the pianist. The next two songs
were solo pieces. "Elegy" by
Italian composer Carlo Alessandro Landini was a clarinet piece
that was much more melodic than
the other selections. "Piano Distance" by Toru Takemitsu was
an open form song that Tanosaki
played with precision and emotion. Their final song "Mirror" by
Shirotomo Aizawa was a shorter
piece that had an interesting
haiku sequence within.
The concert was the first of the
Funes Fund Concert Series, which
features performers who provide
new and exciting artistic experiences for Cal State San Marcos
students. This concert series was
established in memory of founding faculty member Don Funes of
the visual performing arts department. Upcoming concerts include
Ho-Asogli, an ensemble featuring
traditional West African drumming and dance on Wednesday,
March 7 at noon, and an Irish session band on Monday, March 12, at
7:30 p.m. Both events will be held
in Arts 111. These concerts are a
wonderful opportunity to break
out and explore the musical stylings of different cultures.

�Book Review
BRIDGE T O
TERABITHIA
BY SARAH PULTZ
Pride Staff Writer
coerced students into reading
one of these literary versions of
the ABC After School Special,
there is a kid who got bored,
gave up, and rented the jnovie.
"Bridge to Terabithia" is certainly one of those children's
books that adults will always
fawn over for its inspiring story
and great literary significance.
However, it is also a book that
children can enjoy simply for its
own sake, and that is a very rare
combination. Katherine Paterson avoids any heavy-handed
moralizing and contrived plot
devices and instead has written
a book that maintains the perfect balance between entertainment and enlightenment, which
is probably why it won a Newberry MedaL
The main character of the
book is Jess, a fifth-grade boy

The preteen book-with-alesson genre has been popular for many years. For every

Movie Review
who is "the only boy smashed
between four sisters" in a poor
family. At school he is the
strange kid who likes to draw.
At home, his mother favors his
sisters, and his father thinks he
is a sissy. One day a girl named
Leslie moves into the farmhouse next door. The family is
different from anything Jess's
conservative small town has
ever seen. Leslie doesn't have
a TV, and she doesn't wear
dresses. She races the boys at
recess time—and wins. Jess
and Leslie become best friends,
and together they navigate their
way through the hazards of
being different. They invent
their own imaginary land, Terabithia, where they are king and
queen. Then one day a catastrophe strikes, and Jess has to deal
with the loss of the only person
in his life that made him happy.
Katherine Paterson's realistic storytelling in this book is
truly inspired. The setting and
characters are based on a rural
community near Washington,
D.C., and the reader gets the
feeling that he or she really
could go visit this small town.
Very few of the characters are
simply flat plot devices, there
to foil the hero and heroine or
move the plot along. Even the
most seemingly insignificant
characters actually have very
complex reasons for the way
they behave. Likewise,, not all
of the problems and challenges
that Paterson creates get neatly
wrapped up and resolved by the
enci of the book. The most powerful part of the book is Paterson's description of the grief and
loss that Jess experiences. She
was inspired to write this book
when her own son's best friend
was killed in a tragic accident,
and her story has an authenticity that could only come from
someone who experienced the
senseless loss of a child first
hand.
It's easy to see why "Bridge
to Terabithia" is such a favorite
of teachers. There are is a lot of
material that could be used for
instruction in the classroom. It
is fairly easy to pick out material that could be used for discussions about characterization,
setting, symbolism and foreshadowing. But even though
they may be learning while they
read, kids will love this book
anyway. It had me completely
absorbed right from the beginning, and by the end I was sobbing like a baby.

Bridge to Terabithia
BY SARAH PULTZ
Pride Staff Writer
"Bridge to Terabithia" is
a favorite of many children
and adults, so i t's no surprise that Hollywood eventually decided to t urn the book
into a movie. However, it is
surprising that the filmmakers missed the opportunity to
turn what is arguably one of
the greatest children's books
of all time into anything more
than a mediocre vehicle for
CGI e ffects. The filmmakers
chose to leave out many of the
most moving and meaningful moments of the book, j ust
to make room for some stunning visuals and intense plot
twists.
While these additions are certainly very pretty
and exciting, they are nothing
more than that—all f luff and
no substance or significance.

in the book, but this wouldn't
really be a problem if it hadn't
squeezed out some of the better
elements of the book.
The movie falls short in its
depiction of Jess's terrible

Jess's grief with heartbreaking
realism, the itiovie glosses over
these moments. What could

as though David Paterson
couldn't bear to relive them

Virginia Madsen's portrayal of

self worthy of becoming a NASA understandably concerned with the
future welfare of her children rings
true. The audience can see her character develop from a background
character to one that demands the
attention and recognition of Thornton's Charles Farmer. She is the
heart and the anchor of the family, a
position that in life oftentimes lacks
the appreciation it deserves.
Thornton's performance seems
effortless as the brilliant, hardworking aerospace engineer whose
efforts are mocked and reduced to
insane inventions by his detractors.
Though there are imaginative aspects of "The Astronaut
Farmer" that put to the test even
the most amenable audience
member's ability to suspend disbelief for 104 minutes, it is the
relationships between the characters and not the plot that makes
this film stimulate that mysterious
mechanism inside each of us that
stirs our thoughts and stimulates
our capacities to dream.
her dream," Madsen explained.
"She's been married for 27 years,
and [her husband and her] rocket
was a diner. Her husband was a
chef, and he always wanted to
own his own restaurant . .. They
all worked in the restaurant, and
he made his dream come true. It
became their collective dream.
They were the Farmers, and
that's where I got my inspiration
and that's why the story made
sense to me."
Madsen said she can identify with the idea of holding on
to a dream no matter what anybody says. "My rocket was Hollywood," Madsen revealed.
"I wanted to be a professional
actress, and I was a fireman's
daughter. So, that was about as
crazy as building a rocket, but I
believed in myself and so did my
parents."
Of making her own dream
come true, Madsen articulated,
"You get discouraged a lot, but if
you have faith and if you continue
to believe in yourself, it doesn't
matter how long it takes - you'll
get there. It's about longevity. It's
about perseverance."
After years of feeling underestimated by the film industry, Madsen's perseverance finally paid off.
"[The film 'Sideways'] changed
everything," she said. "I think the
most important thing it did for me,
not just being able to choose projects like this, the kind of people I
work with now, but it gave me a lot
of confidence. That was the most
important thing. Going through
an awards season with a movie
like that, I gained a lot of confidence during that experience."
Madsen also attributed some of
her new-found confidence to her
age. "[45] is the best age. There
is more confidence that comes
in your 40s of course. It's such a
great age for women. 'Desperate
Housewives' are having it too.
Now it's cool. Now it's chic to
be a woman in your 40s, because
you're now considered like you
know things. (Coy smile.) So,
we're sexy now."

Pride Staff Writer
A large glowing orb loomed,
emanating pulsating hues of
blue, orange, and red; vintage
aircrafts hovered above; portraits of legends such as Neil
Armstrong, Amelia Earhart,
Charles Lindbergh, and Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. occupied The
Hall of Fame, and the Apollo
9 Command Module Capsule
stood proudly near the entrance
to San Diego Air & Space
Museum. There really couldn't
have been a more suitable setting for the San Diego stop
on the publicity tour for "The
Astronaut Farmer."
"'The Astronaut Farmer'
started out as an independent
[film]," said the film-making
duo the Polish Brothers. "We
made it independently under
Warner Brothers Independent.
That is ideally the best way to
make a studio picture."
The Polish Brothers are
famous for such indie flicks
as "Twin Falls Idaho," "Jackpot," which won the 2001 Independent Spirit Awards, and
"Northfolk," an official selection of the 2003 Sundance Film
Festival.
The brothers, identical twins
from El Centro, California, said
they think about stories in a
similar way. "There hasn't been
anything where I'm like, 'Wow,
that's -incredibly bad. That's
awful * said Michael Polish of
his brother's contributions to
the collaborative process.
"Whoever comes up with the
idea takes the f irst d raft. Or,
w e'll do an outline together,
and then w e'll go do a d raft and
pass it back and forth. Lately,
he's been writing a screenplay
by himself. I've been writing
by myself," Michael explains.
"You still need a clear driver
on d rafts," he continues.
" Let's say, for instance, Mark
does a whole d raft. I 'll read
it and say, 'Maybe these two
characters are sounding the
same. You need to make them
more distinctive or get ride of
them. In a way, I become an
editor for his screenplay, and
he becomes an editor for my
screenplay."
The Polish brothers made
"The Astronaut Farmer" into
even more of a family affair
than usual by casting their
ypung daughters in the roles
of young Stanley and Sunshine
Farmer, Michael's 7-year-old
Jasper, and Mark's 4-year-old
Logan, respectively. Once they
knew they were going to use
their daughters for the roles, the
brothers went back and made
adjustments to the characters of
Stanley and Sunshine. Michael
and Mark knew their strengths
and played to them. They were
nervous about putting their kids
into the roles, however, and
Mark said he doesn't plan on
doing it again.
On working with Virginia
Madsen, who plays Audrey
"Audie" Farmer, wife of rocketbuilding Charles Farmer, the
brothers said she was "great.
Great instincts. A lot of f un.
Good mother. Both of them
together, [Madsen and Thorntori], they were very f un to
watch." Of her character, they
elaborated, "She's the glue in
that family."
A fter they are done prompting "The Astronaut Farmer,"
the brothers' will move on
to science fiction with their
screenplay, "I.D."

Pride Staff Writer
"The movie isn't really about a
rocket. The movie is about working really hard to make your
dreams come true and never
giving up on your dream against
all odds," said Virginia Madsen
on February 15 at the San Diego
Air & Space Museum in Balboa
Park, which was one stop on the
publicity tour for the film "The
Astronaut Farmer."
Madsen, whose filmography
includes roles in movies such
as "Dune," "The Rainmaker,"
"Sideways," and "A Prairie
Home Companion," not to mention numerous television appearances, said she based the character of Audrey "Audie" Farmer,
loving and supportive wife
of Charles Farmer (Billy Bob
Thornton), who builds a rocket
in his barn and intends to launch

to vote
on Strike
against
the CSU in
March
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Beginning on Monday,
March 5 through Thursday,
March 8, the CSUSM California Faculty Association will
vote whether or not they will
officially go on strike against
the CSU Chancellor's Office
and the Board of Trustees in
an effort for a fair contract.
Dr. Janet Powell, President of
the local chapter of the CFA,
said, "We feel very confident
this vote will pass statewide."
All
faculty
members
who belong to the CFA can
vote two separate ways. On
March 5, the faculty will be
able to vote in front of Kellogg Library. The CFA will
also accept voting through
email but can not guarantee
anonymity. Once the voting
is finished, CSUSM should
know by Monday, March 19
if and when the CFA will go
on strike.
If the CFA chooses to strike,
they will do so simultaneously
with at least three Cal State
Universities. The order and
days of which the CFA schedules the strikes is unknown.
Faculty members could go on
strike "on any given Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday" said Dr. Powell. If after
the CFA takes part in strikes
across the California, and the
Chancellor's office still withholds a fair contract for faculty, the CFA could chose to
continue the strike. Dr. Powell
added, "The pressure is on
the Chancellor and Board of
Trustees without hurting the
students. We don't want to
leave students out there. If we
could do something else, we
would."
During last Friday's ASI
meeting, ASI made a resolution on the CFA and CSU
collective bargaining. Vice
President of External Affairs,
Jeremy Mills, said, "Basically,
we are taking the stance that
students have no place in the
collective bargaining process.
There's no way for us to truly
know what's going on in the
collective bargaining process
because they do have closed
session meetings and the only
information we get is when

Historical Tukwut courtyard
dedication to be held this week
On Thursday, March 1,
during university hour, Cal
State San Marcos will be dedicating the Courtyard outside
of Cougar Central on the third
floor of Craven Hall as the
Tukwut Courtyard. Tukwut
(pronounced
"TOOK-woot")
is the Luiseno word for inountaifi lion. According to an article written by adjunct faculty
member Brendon Cesmat, this
word was given to Cal State S an
Marcos by a Luiseno elder and
adopted by the first graduating
class of CSUSM as an unofficial mascot. In 1998, when the
official mascot was chosen,

CSUSM's S ocial a nd B ehavioral

BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
In 1994, Dr. Richard Serpe put
his efforts toward creating the
Social and Behavioral Research
Institute of CSUSM. Since then,
SBRI has completed studies integral to the health and well being
of the public on both national and
local levels. On June 30, due to the
strategic plan of the university and
to the lack of finances, CSUSM's
institute will close.
Director of Research, Allen
Risley, joined Dr. Serpe in 1994
to build the SBRI into what it has
become today. Risley said, "The
marketplace is very competitive to
get research projects and the costs
of research projects." Risley added,
"I will miss work. These projects
make a difference in the community." The institute has completed
thousands of studies on social
behavior. Some of those studies
include health care for diabetics,
victimization, compulsive shopping, childhood obesity and the
public opinion in Carlsbad.

said, "The spirit of Tukwut
has haunted the campus ever
since the former administration
denied Tukwut its opportunity
at the ballot box."
Associated Student President
Roy Lee agreed, "Tukwut was
a sensitive subject because we
(students, faculty, administration and s taff) were not sure if
the Luiseno people were okay
with us utilizing the word a fter
Cougar replaced it as our official mascot."
Tribal Liaison Bonnie Biggs
said that steps have been taken
in the right direction to reclaim
this g ift given nearly 17 years
ago, and t hat ASI and the s tudents on campus have been
giving it the respect and recognition it r ightfully deserves.
Lee said, "ASI, as the official
student voice, has made a statement to reclaim Tukwut as a
g ift and acknowledge its significant meaning and history. We
embrace Tukwut and hope that
all students, faculty, adminisr
tration, s taff and the community take ownership of it and
develop the meaning of Tukwut
for themselves as a person at
CSUSM."

CSUSM is hosting their first
annual Alumni Gala to celebrate fifteen years of Alumni
excellence. The event takes
place in Fallbrook on March
17, 2007 at Grand Tradition
from 6p.m. until 11p.m. Director of alumni relations Heather
Manley, the Alumni Association, arid alumni volunteers
sent invitations through emails,
and mailed invitations to members of the Alumni Association.
They also mailed postcards to
about 17,000 alumni, members
of the community, and CSUSM
employees. The evening's festivities are open to students as
well. As of February 23, 1Ï7
guests have purchased tickets.
The event size is limited to 150
guests. Tickets are $50 when
purchased in advance and $75
at the door;
According to Manley, the
Alumni Association Board
of Directors chose this year
as the first year for the event,
because this is an appropriate
time to begin a new tradition
for honoring CSUSM alumni.
She states, "This event marks a
new tradition of excellence for
our campus. We are at the point
in our history, now, where it is
important."
The cocktail attire festivities will include a champagne
reception and a prime rib
dinner. Guests will dance the
night away in celebration of
the achievements amongst our
growing CSUSM community.
A committee from the Alumni
Association Board of Directors
chose two distinguished alumni
to honor for the evening based
on nominations from alumni,
students, faculty, s taff, and
administrators; The criteria for
achieving the award are commitment to scholarship, leadership,
and service, outstanding role
model for students and alumni,
and achievement in one's profession or career or outstanding
community service.
The c hosen, recipients of
the Achievement Award are
alumni Salvador Garcia and
Jack Burke.
According to
media relations, Garcia earned
his m aster's • and bachelor's
degrees in business administration, and* is currently "The
interim vice chairman for the
Juaneno Band of Mission Indians." He also works with tribal
communities, and Viejas Tribal
Government to develop better
education and programs for
the b enefit of younger tribal
members that are pursuing college at CSUSM. Among his
many achievements, Garcia is
also noted as a member of the
P resident's circle, as well as a
member of the Native American Advisory Council. Award
recipient, Jack Burke earned
his bachelor degree in political
science and formerly served on
the A lumni Association Board
of Directors as director of legislative a ffairs. Burke also
served as a recent member of
the Washington D.C o ffice of
Congressman Duncan Hunter.
Alumni Director of Relations,
H. Manley shares the prestigious
experience of organizing, along
with her colleagues, the very
first Alumni Gala. She states,
"Working on the fine details of
t his event, [has] been a great
experience, relatively smooth,
and we are looking forward to
March 17."

Kat Schulz is the president
of the Pre-Health Society and
says that they still need volunteers to donate blood. Beginning on March 7, students can
sign up every 20 minutes. Students can also contact Schulz at
schul024@csusm.edu. In order
för students to sign up, tHfey freed
to include their name, phone
number and email address. Students can also sign up at www.

CSUSM's Pre-Health Society's
Drive.
Schulz said, "In order to
donate .blood, you must be at
least 17 years old, weigh 110
pounds and be in good health.
Also, if you have gotten a tattoo
in the past 12 months, you
can temporarily not donate."
Schtite a dded, r "Every two
seconds, someone in America needs blood. In Southern
California, donating blood
is so important because
only
three
percent
of
Southern California's population donates. The amount of
blood actually donated is one
pint. The adult body contains
10 to 12 pints. So by donating
you will be someone's hero- you
may give a newborn, a child, a
mother or a father, a brother, or
a sister another chance at life.
In fact, you may help save up to
three lives With jùst one donation."
For any f urther questions,
the Pre-Health Society will be
available at their sign up table
this week, Monday through
Thursday, during University
Hour.

that the Luisefio people are

powerful message to local

and their language and recognizes them as the indigenous people on whose land
the university sits."
The Courtyard Dedication Ceremony will include
a blessing by a Luisefio
elder, a message f rom ASI
president Roy Lee, and live
Luisefio music sung in the
native language. Biggs says,
"Some say these songs have
been around for 10,000
years." The day's eyents

and to pay respect to those who

Biggs said that she hopes to

get a mountain lion statue, but
that will depend on f unding and

something that will happen in

Lee says, "Tukwut Courtyard is a step to acknowledge
and honor the Luiseno, but also
honor this educational institution, home of the Tukwutum,
home of the cougars, Cal State
University San Marcos. It is the
first permanent recognition of
Tukwut on this campus."

Sometimes, the SBRI will publish a report
for their clients. Other times, SBRTs clients
will create and publish a report based off
of the information they'll receive from the
SBRI.
Risley said, "Helping to improve the quality of life for someone is the work we do."
Risley will also miss what he described as,
"The puzzles of doing research." Learning
how and when to probe for answers from
survey participants is considered the main
challenge for new employees. But the puzzle
of research remains in how to sort through
and combine the information from the study
to create a thorough and coherent report for
SBRI's clients.
Research Assistant William Andersen and
Director of Operations Lori Brown Large
agree, along with Lab Supervisor Jennifer
Holmes agree that the closing of the SBRI
will immediately create a void. "I think it's
sad. Our work is to improve life for individuals and [SBRI's closing is] going to create a
gap between the university and community,"
said Holmes.
Currently, 65 employees work at the SBRI.
28 of the employees are CSUSM students. 10
of the employees make up a combination of
Palomar students and high school students.
In the past, the SBRI has employed up to 20
high school students at one time, making
SBRI the only work place for high school
students to work on the CSUSM campus.
The rest of the employees at SBRI said
they had the opportunity to watch the high
school students grow. Large said, "One year,
we got to see nine out of ten high school
students go off to four year universities."
Risley believed most of the high school stu-

Communication major said, "President
Haynes has been an excellent leader and
mentor to the students of San Marcos State
University. Her idea of a hard work ethic
for ultimate success on multiple levels has
brought new light to my own ambitions, forcing me to look at distant dreams and turning them into short term realities. If I could
say only one thing about Dr. Karen Haynes
it would be her love of education reflected on
the students of this campus that makes San
Marcos State such a powerhouse for academi-
cally elite knowledge."
CSUSM alum, Patrick B. Long, said, ' In
an overall score of the president's review I
would give her an overall positive review. In
the matter of decision making and effective
planning, President Haynes has done a fairly
good job. Also, her involvement in community relations has been adequate to achieve
a passing review. In my mind, however, she
has to work on her involvement with students,
faculty, and staff on campus."

employees are slightly more affected from
the closure of SBRI than the students. "[The

Some of our researchers will stay here but
the rest of us will have to find new jobs and

�Website of the Week
BY TIFFANIE HOANG
Pride Staff Writer
The new search engine, ChaCha, created by Scott Jones and Brad Bostic, aims
to provide the public with a uniquely
enhanced search tool, unlike any other
search engine before. In using what the
website is calling "the World's most powerful technology tool- the human brain,"
ChaCha's intent is to provide an improved
search experience by integrating what
their best computer-generated search
results are with the results that are handpicked by human guides. The searchengine continuously "learns" through the
aid of human intelligence and is therefore
constantly improving. If the basic search
is not satisfying particular requirements,
the website connects the user with a "live
human guide who will find the information for you through an instant messagingstyle search session"— all entirely free.
The website is named so, primarily because
the word "cha" means "search" in Chinese
and secondly because the Cha-Cha is a
popular Cuban-based dance with a particularly fast pace. ChaCha is a Beta-based
website, meaning that it is at a stage where
the software is technically complete with
advanced features and should be strong
enough to complete most ordinary uses.
Beta which is short for "Beta-test," also
stands for "p," the second letter ofthe Greek
alphabet coming after Alpha. Alpha tests
are usually not feature complete and are
commonly more unstable than Beta tests.
The website is beneficial to students in two
aspects. First, it allows for a personalized
search, where students are able to communicate one-on-one with an experienced guide.
Such accessibility paves an easier path to
acquiring the useful information needed
without having to sort through irrelevant
M PVI
P NI
Road to graduation
search results. The personalized searching also helps with detailed research in
which students must find scholarly sources
concerning specifically itemized subjects
which might otherwise be difficult to find.
Secondly, students that are experienced
enough to become a "ChaCha Guide," must
join the ChaCha Underground (an already
existing community for current ChaCha
guides) and be invited by a ChaCha guide
who is at the Master Level. According to
the website, ChaCha guides earn between
"$5-10 per search hour based on performance. With a computer and a broadband
Internet connection, Guides can work
whenever and wherever they choose."
This type of job is especially convenient
for students because of the flexible work
hours and being able to work from home.
Students who already have an existing
website and wish to draw in more traffic
can use ChaCha's Adagent service that
costs $25 to start up. The website states
that ChaCha Adagent is "a true cost per
click advertising medium that allows you to
optimize your reach by optimizing search.
This is a performance-based advertising
program that allows you to bid on your category so your ad is matched with your site
to achieve the highest click-through rates,"
as explained in ChaCha's informational
section. Students can choose which categories they want and the ChaCha Adagent makes sure that it is seen by the
people whom students wish to target.
ChaCha also has a blog to promote the
difference of their search engine. The
blog allows users to obtain information
about ChaCha that is not widely known,
updated news on the website, success
stories and comments by the creators of
ChaCha. If students wish to learn more
about the website or talk to a guide, go to
www.chacha.com.

What had I got myself into
this time? It was becoming clear
that someone in the jam-packed
car was not too sure of the exact
location of the base camp outside
of M'Hamid. We had been tossed
about in the car amidst the blackest Saharan night for the best part
of 20 minutes now and the Arabic
French verbal assaults were
becoming ever-more intense. Sla-
at approximately 11 p.m., I found
myself deposited safely at the
Berber style base camp.
As far as adventure goes, the
Sahara never fails to deliver. I
had chosen to visit this mysterious part of the world not only to
experience its beauty, but also to
discover its vastly different cultures, and to do this, I decided
to take some excursions with a
locally run tour company. This
particular trip started in Ooarzazarte - a small town $i£u$ted
gained a new depth of frustration
as our Tuareg guide, Najib, tried
to communicate his instructions
to Abdul the driver. Straightforward enough you may reason, but
as Najib was both deaf and mute,
things were a little .more complicated; indeed the - f i l l e d dia~,

i nniyopinion, the real Sahar a experience requires a leap
out of your comfort zone and this
means adapting to an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar
customs; and if you have never
seen such a different land and
lifestyle, then I would encourage
such a trip even more. Although
it may seem cliché, camel riding
is a good place to start the experience, along with camping
in Berber style tents. There is
nothing like traversing the red
sands on a camel t o really feel
immersed in a different mindset,
and it is very easy to organize.
There are numerous companies,
both local and international, that
have superb deals for a complete
Saharan adventure, and most
of them will offer the same trip
that I experienced. All you need
to take with you is an open mind
- what you will bring back is a
new understanding of another
culture, yourself and immense
satisfaction.
�Spring is here and the
Records fall at CSUSM
Padres prepare for success women's golf tourney
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
Get your peanuts, crackerjacks here!
It's the smell of the .grass, the crack of
the bat; baseball is on the way. Pitchers
and catchers reported to camp February
15 to open spring training 2007. Before
the Valentine's Day flowers have wilted,
baseball teams are gathéring in Arizona
and Florida to get loose for a grueling
162 game schedule. Spring training is a
time of hope for f ans of every team. Payroll aside, every organization starts out
even. And there is always a chance to
catch lightning in a bottle like the 2003
Florida Marlins, or last years Detroit
Tigers. There are questions and a bit of
drama going into the 2007 season
The Chicago Cubs, perennial chokers,
invested an extra $30 million in their
roster in an attempt to break a 98 year
championship drought. Last year they
lost 96 games and finished in last place
in the weakest division in baseball, the
NL Central. The Cardinals, eventual
World Series winners, won a paltry 83
games. That's five games less than any
other first place club. This off season
the Cubs front office concentrated on
some key pieces that could allow them
to win quickly. Alphonso Soriano was
signed to play centerfield for a measly
$136 million over eight years. It will be
a n experiment for the recently departed
2B. Last year there were mixed results
defensively as Soriano played leftfield
in Washington. The Cubs also added
fiery manager Lou Pinella. f amous,for
his attitude, track record, and pension
for f ace-offs with the umpire. Message
to National League umpires: bring your
sneeze guard unless you want Pinella's
spittle all over you. Will the Cubs break
the "Curse of the Billy G oat"?
The New York Yankees provide the
drama. As usual, the soap opera of the
Yankees organization started early this
year. The big money Yanks, who haven't
won a title since '00, were uncharacteristically quiet with acquisitions this off
season. Other than the losses of 43 yearold Randy Johnson and 38 year-old Gary
Sheffield, the Yankees didn't do much
other than get younger. Then starting
pitcher Mike Mussina questioned o ften
injured pitcher Carl Pavano's heart. The
best post season closer in baseball his-
tory Mariano Rivera, i s disgruntled with
his contract situation. Long time Yankee
hero Bernie Williams, denied a minor
league contract offer from t he,team.
Two-time MVP (and playoff goat the
last few years ) Alex Rodriguez and his
one time best buddy Derek Jeter aren't
going t o dinner and having sleepovers
any more. Why A-Rod felt like disclosing this to the public is a little odd but
it gives the Yankees continuity in one
area, turmoil.
Will Barry Bonds break Hank Aaron's home r un record? He is 22 behind
and barring injury it looks like a lock on
paper. Bonds hasn't hit less than 25 HR
in a f ull season since 1989. The swirling allegations of steroid use and looming p erjury charges have painted Bonds
as a villain; taking the home r un record
f rom one of the most respected players
in the history of the game. It is so ugly
that MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has
contemplated skipping the game when
Bonds breaks of one of the most hallowed records in all of sports.
The Padres have a new manager in
SDSU product, Bud Black. The 12 year
r un for the Padres Manager Bruce Bochy
is over, ending his association with the
organization since 1983. San Diego
brought Marcus Giles in to play with big
brother Brian on their hometown team.
The Giles are from El Cajon. The Padres
also added a young slugging third baseman by trading promising rookie Josh
Barfield. Kyle Kouzmanoff has the sweet
right handed power stroke that General
Manager Kevin Towers has % been looking for at 3B. Greg Maddux brings his
333 wins and immeasurable wisdom to
an already solid staff. Jake Peavy will t ry
to bounce back from a sub-par year that
saw his ERA j ump by more than a f ull
r un and 6'10" pitcher Chris Young will
try to build off his solid first year in San
Diego. The Yale grad, led all of baseball
in opponents batting average against last
year. David Wells is back in a Padre uniform, back in his hometown. Wells hails
f rom Point Loma, has 230 career victories, and is good for at least one bar fight
per season. When the Padres let Dave
Roberts and his 49 stolen bases migrate
north to SF they opened a glaring hole
in the leadoff spot. Will the Padres win
the NL West for the third straight year?
We shall see.

With poor conditions at the Lake San
Marcos Country Club, the women's golf
team had a battle on their hands. Senior
Jennell French set a new school record
by recording her third victory in individual scoring.
French and the rest of the women's
golf team had their struggles through the
course. With poor conditions on the golf
course, scores were higher than usual.
French finished with a +6 and managed
to stay ahead of the field of 67.
As a team, the Lady Cougars shot a
+48, finishing 5 shots behind the winning school, Embry-Riddle. Sophomore
Danielle Pierce, senior Christina Austin,
junior Cary Ludwig and junior Adriana
Bormann helped lead the team to 6th
place by finishing in the top-40.
The men's golf team took a one-stroke
lead in the first round and held off Point
Loma Nazarene to win the Cal State San
Marcos Invitational by one stroke. Junior
Matt Determan helped lead the fight by
tying UCLA's Lucas Lee for second place
in individual scoring. Determan shot five
under par in the final two rounds to finish
with a +4 at San Luis Rey Downs.
Following Determan was Junior Scott
Conway who shot a +8 and tied Concordia's Tomas Gutierrez for Th place. Competing in his first tournament this season,
Junior Markus Wendel made a 10th place
debut finishing with a +12.
Freshman Kevin Riley made a big impact
shooting a 74 in the final round to finish
tied for 15h place with fellow teammate,
Junior Brandon Scolman who finished the
tournament with back-to-back 75s.
The! men's team won their first tournament*!^ the season and will look to continue their strong play. The women's team
looks to recoup from the wet conditions
and take aim towards nationals. Both teams
now are preparing for the Point Loma Nazarene Tournament on March 4-6 at Steele
Canyon Country Club.

OPINION
'
Jock talk
with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Sports Writer
Since this is my last semester of college
it's easy to guess I'm sick of taking tests.
That's why I can sympathize with college football players who have to take the
Wonderlic test at the NFL scouting combine. The test isn't terribly hard if you're
an average college student. There lies the
problem, however, since football players
tend to spend more time in the weight
room than in the library.
The Wonderlic test consists of 50 questions in basic math and problem solving
that need to be answered in 12 minutes. A
score of 20 is considered to be an average
score and a score of 10 indicates literacy.
Frankly, I don't see how the Wonderlic
test is appropriate for measuring how
smart of an investment a player will be for
an NFL team. Just look at Vince Young,
who reportedly scored a six, and made the
pro bowl in his rookie season. That is why
I have devised my own test, which I call
the Sandovalic.
An etfkmple of a question on the Wonderlic test is: "Paper sells for 21 cents per
pad. What will four pads cost?"
I can understand how it might be difficult for an offensive tackle to figure out
the answer is 84 cents. That is why the
Sandovalic test tailors questions towards
situations that may occur for an NFL
player. In the Sandovalic test, however, a
player doesn't know that a correct answer
is a bad thing.
The Sandovalic version of that last question is: "One gram of weed sells for 20
dollars/What is 5 grams worth?" Answer:
An awesome high.
Wonderlic question: "A train travels 20
feet in 1/5 second. At the same speed, how
many feet will it travel in three seconds?"
The answer: 300 feet.
Sandovalic question: "Your limo takes
you from San Diego to Las Vegas in five
hours. Your private jet does it in 1/5 the
time. How long does it take your j et?" The
answer: Who cares? Life is pretty good
either way.
Wonderlic question: "A boy is 17 years
old and his sister is twice as old. When the
boy is 23 years old, what will be the age of
his sister?" The answer: 40.
Sandovalic question: "If you're 23 years
old when you get your third strike, how
old will you be when your sentence is
over?" Answer: Doesn't matter, I won't
get caught.
Wonderlic question: "What is the ninth
month of the year?" I don't think I should
have to tell anyone this answer but just
incase, it's September.
Sandovalic question: "If you make $8
million dollars per year, how much will
you be paid per month?" Answer: Enough
for a new car each month.
Wonderlic question: "Tom greeted Beth.
Beth greeted Dawn. Tom did not greet
Dawn. Assume the first two sentences are
true. Is the final one true, false or not certain?" Answer: Not certain.
Sandovalic question: "The linebacker
tried to beat up the cop, The cop shot the
linebacker. The linebacker was at fault.
Assume the first two sentences are true.
Is the final one true, false or not certain?"
The answer: Only Steve Foley and Aaron
Mansker.. .1 mean, only the linebacker and
cop will know and the j ury will decide.
If a player answers the Sandovalic
questions correctly it gives NFL teams a
better indication that a player is not a good
investment more so than the Wonderlic
questions.

> the exhibit. Leibovitz's decision to
combine the varying dynamics of
her life into pne book wa$ based
on her notion that her professional
life and personal life are not two
separate lives, but one life, innately
intertwined with all the characters
and events that make it up.. Organized by the Brooklyn Museum,
the exhibition reflects Liebovitz's
photographic life as a whole.
The first photograph, you'll
encounter is that of Wadi Rum,
Jordan - one of Annie Leibovitz's
most notable landscape photographs. Then there is the photograph of the poised Demi Moore,
pregnant with Scout Larue Willis.
This image, revolutionary in 1991,
boldly revealed what many wanted
to cover up.
Leibovitz's photographs are as
much about the human form as they
are about human loss, love, pain
and success. The energy of her subjects reach beyond the photographs
themselves. Leibovitz captures the
assertive expression of General
Schwarzkopf as she similarly did
Currently on display at the San

bition, "Annie Leibovitz: A Phothe Joint Cheifs of Staff. Powell's

Leibovitz captures the nervous
with Susan Sontag, and her parenergy of playwright Tony Kushents' lives in Long Island are all

Photographer's Life: 1990 - 2005,"
with Mick Jagger's heavy gaze or
coincides with the exhibition.
Joan Didion's intrusive glare.
Excerpts from the book are placed
In Leibovitz's photograph of
next to several of the images in
Michael Moore at the Del Mar
Fairgrounds in 2004, Moore stands
with three of his staff members,
Bernardo Loyola, Kirsten Johnson and Gabriel Monts. Wearing
t-shirts and jeans, they're surrounded by technical equipment
stacked on the floor. Johnson and
Loyola are armed with cameras.
Monts supports a lighting fixture
with his arms. Moore stands with
both hands in his jacket pockets,
with that spark in his eye, insisting
he has something to say and that he

The family photographs, though
smaller in scale compared to the
others, portray Leibovitz's own

his baby daughter a bottle beside
the pool as his father looks on. In
another photograph, Leibovitz captures a candid morning scene in
her parents' kitchen as her mother,
wearing a bathing suit, as she is in
most photos, prepares breakfast as
Leibovitz's father reads the morning paper.
I thought that these family photographs in the exhibit deserve
more space; at least for us to move
around in and become lost in our
own days spent with family in arbitrary conversation around the table,
beside the pool, or huddled around
a new baby.
Chi a wall adjacent to the young
actress Scarlet Johansson and
the talented Jaime Foxx, is Susan
Sontag, at peace in her coffin. The
photographs are arranged chronologically from 1990 through 2005
subtly noting the overlap of Leibovitz's own life markers and work
Fat Tire
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
New Belgium brews the whimsical Fat Tire
in Fort Collins, Colorado. Husband Jeff Lebesch and wife Kim Lebesch founded the company and chose to operate the company under
a creative employee-owner business model in
1991. The company functions in an open-book
manner and all employees have .complete
access to accounting information.
New Belgium practices many environmentally friendly concepts, with a continual
focus on reducing, reusing and recycling
the byproducts of brewing, and is committed to giving back to local communities.
For each barrel of brew sold, they donate
one dollar. Since 1991, they have donated
over two million dollars t o non-profit char- .
ities.
The success of New Belgium has led to
a great line of awesome brews including
Fat Tire. Fat Tire, an amber ale, was crer
ated after Lebesch toured Belgium on bicycle. He chose to name the brew Fat Tire in
memory of his trek. Lebesch visited breweries all over Belgium. When he arrived
home, Lebesch began working on Fat Tire
with the recipes he had created while on a
bicycle trip in Belgium.
The simplicity of the blue and red packaging of the ale contrasts with its comical name.
The beer has an alcohol by volume of 5.2 per-
cent. The bottles are shaped like a common
glass beer bottle; however, the company has
\ designed a glass necklace style neck for the
bottle, distinguishing it from those that are
I mass produced.
I
The ale gives a strong aroma of biscuits
I and has a bold sent that leaves the nosj i t rils wanting more answers that can only
K be solved by tasting. A quick gulp sends
*
a surge of flavor t o the t aste buds. The
taste buds search for more answers as
they hold an election and vote for Fat
Tire. Malts and hops comprise the ale.
A fter the complete disappearance of
the contents inside the bottle, the
mouth is glazed over with remnants of the ale.
The company's website suggests
the ale be consumed with salmon,
dry-aged cheeses, roasted chilies,
omelets at midnight, sweet potato
French fries, and other grilled and
garlic items.
Not caring for fish or having
time to grill, I consumed the* ale
with a thick, cheesy slice of pizza.
The combo was perfect. So, next
time you hop on your bike, throw
on your Cougar hat, go to the nearest grocery store, and don't forget
to pick up a six pack of Fat Tire.

assignments.
What' is perhaps most interesting about the exhibit is that Leibovitz is successful in observing and
pulling something from beneath
the surface of so many people - yet
in the most intimate photographs
of Susan Sontag, whether she is
suffering in a hospital bed, or sitting in a couch staring intently into
the camera, we are still left without a solid grasp of who she was
underneath her serious, dissatisfied stare.
The success in this exhibit lies
within the presence of Leibovtz's
subjects whom she has made
immediate to us. When her subject
does not fully lend themselves to
her, at least she provides us wiih
a hint as to what they are thinking
and feeling. What we do not know
about the subjects in the photographs, we do not need to know,
because slightly, yet sufficiently,
we understand.
Drink of the Week
L<§tx)ÖD Drop
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Ah, the lemon - oh, infinitely u seful f ruit. Paired
with poppy seeds, cranberries, or simply sugar, the
precocious lemon lends its
zing to everything f rom
soups to pies, savory
entrees to sweet
treats. Lemon
drop cookies
are a particular
favorite of mine,
a doughy version of
the candy of the same
name.
Hard, round, o ften
lemon-shaped, and covered
with confectioner's sugar,
lemon drop candies are a
classic candy favorite. The
flavor is t art and bright;
making one's mouth water
and lips pucker.
This distinctive sensation
lends itself beautifully to
the Lemon Drop cocktail. Comprised of 1
1/2 ounce vodka (I
use Absolut Citron),
1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4
lemon, the Lemon Drop is a
delightfully refreshing little
gem. Slice the 1/4 lemon into
two wedges and toss them in a
cocktail shaker half-filled with
ice. Pour in the vodka, add the
sugar, shake and strain into a
cocktail glass rimmed with
sugar, and pucker up!

Historic Tukwut
courtyard dedication
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, March 2, without a cloud in the sky, occasional
cool breezes, and the sun shining
warmly and brightly, the courtyard
near Cougar Central was officially
dedicated as Tukwut Courtyard.
The beautiful day marked not only
a new beginning, but also a continuation of Luiseno Tribal relations that
began with the University's first
class in 1990.
Bonnie Biggs, professor emeritus and tribal liaison to Cal State
San Marcos, said, 'Today represents the closing of the circle." She
said that the University decided to
honor the Luiseno people by seeking out a Native word to serve as an
unofficial mascot After Tukwut,
the Luiseno word for mountain
lion, (pronounced "took-woot")
was given to Cal State San Marcos,
it was only used intermittently and
inconsistently. "Today," Biggs continued, "the student leaders of2006
and 2007 also choose to honor the
indigenous people of this land as
evidenced by their successful advocacy to rename this courtyard."
The
dedication
ceremony
included a dedication prayer from
Pauma Band Chairman Chris
Devers, who also sang a traditional
Luiseno song with his son, Chris
Devers Jr. and nephew Gene Dixon.

Monday March 5, 2007,
the CSUSM Writing Center
begins offering assistance
through online tutoring. The
new program is available to
all CSUSM students, and
works similar to the in person
appointments offered. Like all
WC services, the online tutoring is free as well. The center
is located in Kellogg 1103, and
is open from Monday through
Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
I n response to the question,
what inspired this program,
the director of the writing
center since 2005, Erin Goldin
responded, "Many university
writing centers already offer
online tutoring. This campus
is mostly known as a commuter campus, so many students can't make their way to
the writing center for tutoring.
This way, busy students can
still get help."
Now easier than ever, asking
for advice about any class
paper is achievable in four
simple steps through online
tutoring. Access the Writing Center website, answer
a few simple questions about
the assignment like when is
it due, what class is it for, and
the instructions for the assignment. Next, attach your document, and wait for a response.
Writing consultants suggest
putting "as much information
as possible in response to the
questions when submitting
online for optimum feedback."
Most responses will take three
to four business days depending on how busy the consultants are.
Goldin still recommends
making an appointment to
come in whenever possible
because it can be "more productive to come in arid spend
thirty minutes. The more
interaction there is, the more
information and feedback the
student receives." Students
can make appointments online of walk-in anytime to
check for available time slots.
The center also offers workshops on a variety of different
topics every Tuesday during
university hour in University
Hall? room 440.

and ward off evil spirits. Wayne
Nelson and two others from the La
Jolla Reservation also sang a traditional Luiseno song to commemorate the occasion.
About ten Indian speakers spoke
during the ceremony which around
100 students, faculty, administration and Luiseno people, including
students from a nearby tribal charter school, attended. Each speaker
was thankful for the acknowledg-
ment and recognition extended to
them by the renaming of the courtyard.
Chris Devers said, "This is traditional Luiseno territory, and with
the name ofthe Tukwut, I commend
the student body for continuing to
acknowledge that"
Patty Duro, Rincon Band
Member, said, "Ifs a pleasure to be
here and to have our people and our
language recognized here."
Hunwut Turner, Rincon Band
Member and Director of the Rincon
Education Center, spoke specifically to the younger Indian students
and current students of CSUSM
saying, "When they do think about
this courtyard, the Tukwut courtyard, they [should] say it loud and
strong and proud, and that's what
we should all be— proud to be
Luiseno."
University President Karen S.
Haynes also spoke and greeted the
audience by saying hello and welSee TUKWUT, page 3

From WORKERS, page 1
. One group of students carpooled
to a grassy hill on the corner of
Manchester and Rancho Santa
Fe in Encinitas. The other group
of students arrived at the Home
Depot on the corner of Luecadia and El Camino Real. At both
sites, migrant workers are known
to stand on the sidewalk and wait
for strangers to hire them for
work.
Before the students left to meet
the workers, A nne Skidmore of
Intervarsity said, " They'll tell
you about people who will hire
them for work and t hey'll paint
their house all day long and then
t hey'll say, they don't pay us
and will drop u s o ff." Skidmore
encouraged the students to be
open with the workers. " They're
not u sedtd being treated well by
the community. These guys have
amazing stories. Most of them
are open to share and t alk." .
When the students l eft Commons, ASI's Director of Community Service Sherry Brideau
loaded her white Honda with
plastic bags f ull of peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches, bananas,
apple juice, orange j uice, nature
valley bars and water. Brideau
arrived at the Home Depot site
with about 20 students to meet
Intervarsity's Ramiro Marchena
and the workers. But once the
students parked and gathered, a
security guard approached them.
The security guard told Brideau
that she would have to park her car
across the street, in the Encinitas
Ranch Town Center because her
car contained the food for the
workers.
Once Brideau parked across
the street, students met her t o
carry the plastic bags f ull of food
and the gallons of orange juice.
In the time it took for students t o
walk across the street, a Sheriff
arrived at the Home Depot. The
Sheriff had arrested one of the
workers. If any of the men are to
step beyond the unmarked line
that separates the sidewalk f rom
the parking lot, they could be
immediately arrested. Marchena
suggested that the students tell
the Sheriff what they were h ere
t o do. Once the Sheriff knew, students walked u p to the migrant
workers, let them know that they
were students f rom CSUSM and
asked if they wanted anything to
eat or d rink. One student said to
a worker whom he had j ust given
a sandwich to, "Poco Espanol."
The man replied, "Poco English."
At this, each young man shrugged
and smiled.
The Spanish speakers of the
group were able t o hold longer
conversations with the men,
which o ften resulted in both parties bursting into friendly laughter. Freshman Katelyn Aceves
said, "I thought it was really
rewarding to come catch them
o ff guard and they let u s in and
told u s about their stories." Freshman Jenna Spada said, "I liked it
because I can speak a little Spanish and I could understand a little
of what they were saying. They
were really f un and easy t o talk
to." One of the men told Spada
that when a local bank across
the street had been robbed, the
police immediately questioned
the men. Spada said that the man
she was speaking to said, "They
might have thought it looked like
me but I would have never done
something like that."
Students also gave flyers to
the workers that Intervarsity provided with information on a tutoring center in San Marcos where
their children could be tutored.
The flyer also included information of a church in Solana Beach
that holds Spanish masses.
Most of the workers the students interacted with were f rom
Oaxaca. Junior Leo Carillo said,
"They were saying that i t's
tough to get a j ob— sometimes
you get work, sometimes you
don't. They come here for food;
they're very impoverished. They
cross the border in harsh conditions. They make a living and
leave their families behind. So
many people blame migrants for
coming here j ust for the benefits.
But how can they [get] benefits
like health care, if citizens can't
even get i t?" Carillo added, " In
reality they are people who want
t o help."
I n j ust 40 minutes, a fter most
students had enough time t o talk
with the men, the border patrol
showed u p for the man who had
been arrested. Some of the men,
however, sprinted into the street
in spite of the opposing t raffic t o
avoid the border patrol. Sophomore Herminia Ramirez said,
"One particular thing that stood
out t o me is that as the men saw
the other guy being arrested and
they were telling me that it made
them angry because the action of
one guy reflects on the others."
Ramirez added, "I asked them if
they were treated well, and they
said for the most p art it is very
p eaceful except when the minute
men are there. The minute men
t ry t o pull them over a certain
line so that they will get arrested.
They also told me that there was
one time where three gangsters
came and stole their valuables,
and the security guard did nothing."
The event itself inspired ASI
and Intervarsity t o recruit more
students t o serve these men more
o ften. Marchena said, "There's a
Catholic organization t hatreaches
out t o migrant workers and the
homeless. We need t o see how
we can fit in with t hem— how we
can do this more consistently, at
least once a month. You kinda get

to know the people and b e of service t o them. A nd then it impacts
us." Briedeau said, "Community
service in general is very important because it enhances you as a
person, and your college experience. You are putting yourself
aside and serving others, which
we tend to forget in today's society."
R amirez a dded, " I loved participating in t his event b ecause

Pride Staff Writer
The Invisible Children website is the
ongoing product of a film whose purpose is to educate and expose individuals
everywhere to the hideous cycle of violence occurring in Africa. When three
young Americans (Jason Russell, Bobby
Bailey, and Lauren Poole) equipped with
a camera, sought out for excitement in
Africa— the only excitement they found
were the sounds of children being captured during the night, and forced into
the life of a child soldier. According to
Jason, Bobby and Lauren, this nightmare was not their initial idea of a filmmaking adventure, but the three friends
found themselves "stranded in Northern
Uganda" and dedicated their time in there
to "exposing this tragic and amazingly
untold story."
Whilst the majority of 8 year-olds in
the United States are gluing macaroni to
a piece of construction paper and sprinkling glitter across the page, children as
young as 8 in Uganda are systematically
being kidnapped from their homes by a
rebel group called the "Lord's Resistance
Army"(LRA). A gun or rifle replaces
what should be a book or a pen, and
according to the website, the children are
"then desensitized to the horror of brutal
violence and killing, as they themselves
are turned into vicious fighters." A few
number of children are able to escape,
however, the majority of the children
[m/lÚblt
remain in LRA for the remainder of their
lives, only experiencing life through fighting in guerilla warfare. The film "Invisible Children: Rough Cut," follows what
the community has named "night commuters" as children "commute" during
the night, from their villages to different towns in fear of being kidnapped.
The film concentrates on 4 boys: Jacob,
Thomas, Tony, and Boni, according the
website, "through their eyes, we relive
the terror of abduction, courage of survival, the heartbreak of losing a brother,
and the innate joy— found only in a
child." Because of their time in Uganda,
the filmmakers decided to share this film
and "inspire others, as it did them"; thus
began the movement that is called Invisible Children.
Due to the LRA, 250,000 boys and
girls receive no education in Northern
Uganda; only 30% of the schools are still
functioning, but are overcrowded. Invisible Children offers a program called
"The Education Program," where "Visible Child Scholarship provides fullride scholarships and full-time Ugandan
mentors for war-affected children." In
the ICEP (Invisible Children Education
Program), each child is provided with a
mentor who aids the child not solely for
academic reasons, but to provide "careeroriented guidance, encourage success,
and foster leadership success." There are
currently 436 ICEP scholarship beneficiaries and 15 mentors. The "Schools for
Schools" is a program that is much more
like a competition, for schools across the
United States to raise money to help build
schools in Northern Uganda. Schools are
urged to come up with different fund-raising ideas and compete with other schools
for the grand prize - a trip to Uganda to
help build a school with the money that
was raised.
According to the website, "the entire
area of Northern Uganda has been ravaged by this 20-year-long war. Roughly
95% of the people in Northern Ugandan
districts forced to evacuate their homes
are now living in camps, earning no
monetary income, and living in absolute
poverty." Invisible Children also started
the "Bracelet Campaign," which allows
Famous scientist Carl Sagan once said,
"We live in a society exquisitely dependent
on science and technology, in which hardly
anyone knows anything about science and
technology." Cal State San Marcos requires
students to know at least a little about technology. It is called the computer competency requirement, and all baccalaureate
students, irrespective of major, must fulfill
this requirement before their third semester here at San Marcos or their records will
be placed on hold, and they will be unable
to register.
The computer competency requirement,
or CCR, can now be fulfilled in a couple
of ways: either by taking a class that satisfies the requirement, or by taking the test.
However, beginning in Fall 2008, classes
will no longer be an acceptable means of
satisfying the requirement. Mary Atkins,
CCR coordinator, said, "This was a policy
change approved by the Faculty Senate on
the recommendation of the General Education Committee's Computer Competency
Requirement subcommittee."
The CCR website goes into more detail
about the test, which classes satisfy the
requirement, and provides study material
and the exam schedule. It can be found
here: www.csusm.edu/iits/ccr.
The CCR test is divided into four different sections: computer ethics, the Internet, basic word processing proficiency, and
basic spreadsheet concepts proficiency.
The computer ethics section tests individuals' understanding of software copyright,
Northern Ugandans living in camps a
way to earn money. The bracelets are
hand-made from reed and recycled wire,
and sold in the United States; the money
that is raised from the campaign goes
back into the Invisible Children Education Program. These programs function
in a self-supporting manner and support themselves because of the numerous movements that have been set up to
support each other and raise awareness
to help the people of Northern Uganda in
their struggle to survive.

copyright infringement and protection,
software piracy, and computer viruses. The
Internet section tests students on using the
Internet to obtain information. The word
processing proficiency section discovers
if students can use basic features within
Microsoft Word. The spreadsheet section
tests students on using basic features in
Microsoft Excel.
Students may take the CCR test as many
times as it takes to pass it. Atkins said,
"There is no penalty for taking the exam
multiple times." The exam itself can take
anywhere from 2-3 hours. Students may
take the exam on Mondays and Wednesdays 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. in University Hall
room 273, and on Fridays and Saturdays
from 10:00 or 10:30 a.m. until 2:00 or 2:30
p.m. (respectively) in Academic Hall room
202. Students need to bring a picture ID, a
print/copy card with approximately $2 on
it and something to write with. Print/copy
cards are available to purchase in Kellogg
Library.
There is no time limit on the test, and
there is no need for students to complete
all four sections at the same time. Students must score 75% or better to pass the
test. The sections are graded separately,
that way if a student fails one section, he
or she needs only to retake that section,
instead of the entire test. No appointment
is needed. Scores are posted on SMART
Web within each student's profile.

NHL Trade Results, it's anyone's game
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
After the National Hockey
League's trade deadline expired
on February 27, a lot questions
have been answered. With a
record tying 25 trades at the
deadline involving 44 players and
26 draft picks being exchanged
between 27 of the 30 NHL teams.
The trade deadline also makes the
playoff picture become clearer.
With six teams in the Eastern
Conference pretty much guaranteed in the playoffs come April,
four of them were active at the
deadline. The Eastern Conference leader, Buffalo Sabres
traded backup goalie Martin
Biron to the Philadelphia Flyers,
putting the weight on 2nd year
goalie Ryan Miller to carry the
remaining load and team through
the playoffs. The Sabres also
acquired Danius Zubrus from the
Washington Capitals in a move
that gives the team depth to a
long list of injured forwards.
The Southeast Division leader,
Tampa Bay Lightning made several silent moves acquiring Shane
O'Brien, Jason Ward and Karl
Stewart. These additions give
Tampa Bay depth in their defense
and much needed toughness.
The Pittsburgh Penguins added
veteran Gary Roberts from Florida, which will give this young
team a talented veteran forward
who will be able impact the
team's top two lines. The Penguins also acquired tough guy
Georges Laroque from the Phoenix Coyotes. Laroque adds lots of
toughness to the team that needs
to protect their young sensations
in Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin
and Jordan Stall.
The Atlanta Thrashers made a
bold move acquiring veteran forward Keith Tkachuk in hopes to
rejuvenate a struggling offense.
Tkachuk will give the Thrashers
another talented player who will
join a team that already has a list
of great players.
With only two spots remaining out of the eight-playoff spots
in the Eastern Conference, these
four teams made adjustments in
hopes of giving their team the
advantage over the other.
The New York Islanders
brought a shock to the hockey
world as they received Edmonton
Oilers fan favorite, Ryan Smyth.
Smyth gave the Oiler fans a
tearful goodbye, which brought
flashbacks to 1988 in Edmonton, when the Oilers traded the
Great One, Wayne Gretzky, to
LA. This move gives the Islanders the upper hand over the other
three teams.
The defending Stanley Cup
Champions, Carolina Hurricanes
added Anson Carter in hopes
of Carter regaining the 33-goal
touch that he had the previous
season in Vancouver.
The Toronto Maple Leafs
added center Yanic Perreault
to the team who will provide a
gritty, strong face-off man. The
last team in the race would be
the Montreal Canadians who
appeared to pull themselves out
of the race as they traded veteran defensemen Josh Gorges
for a d raft pick and a prospective player who cojild help the
team later down the road when
he makes the pros.
In the Western Conference,
the Nashville Predators acquired
Flyers captain Peter Forsberg.
Forsberg was looked at as the
biggest name on the market at the
deadline, and it cost the Predators two young talented prospects and a first and third round
pick. Forsberg finishes the miss-
ing pieces needed in the Nashville lineup, as they were looking for a talented forward who
could make an impact on their
team, and Forsberg should do
that as long as he stays healthy.
Not far behind the Predators in
the standings is the Detroit Red
Wings who acquired Todd Bertuzzi from the Florida Panthers.
Bertuzzi is currently hurt but
should be joining the Red Wings
prior to the playoffs. Bertuzzi
could give the Red Wings that
extra edge in a playoff series
with his scoring and playmaking
ability.
The San Jose Sharks added
veteran forward Bill Guerin
from the St. Louis Blues. Guerin
gives the Sharks another scorer
who should fit right in with last
years MVP Joe Thornton.
The Blues gained three prospects, two first round picks,
and one second and third round
pick by trading both Tkachuk
and Guerin. And if both these
players return to St. Louis at the
end of the season, St. Louis will
be looking at this deadline as a
great way to rebuilding a team
that once made it to the Stanley
Cup Playoffs 25 times in a row.
The Dallas Stars were able
to add long time Kings captain
Mattis Norstrom. Norstrom give
the Stars a talented veteran blue
liner who has great leadership.
Also added prior to the deadline was forward Ladislav Nagy.
Nagy could be a great pick for
the Stars if Nagy can regain the
scoring capability he had in past
seasons.
The biggest shock of them all
was how the Pacific Division
leader, Anaheim Ducks failed to
acquire a steady defense and a
big named forward for the Cory
Perry and Ryan Getzlaf line.
The Ducks failure to acquire
a big name player allows the
other Western Conference teams
to strengthen themselves and
better prepare themselves for
when they face the Ducks in the
playoffs.
For the teams that knew they
were going to the playoffs, they
choose to buy while those who
were already out decided to sell
their players for their futures.
There can only be one Stanley
Cup Champion, which means 29
losers who will be rebuilding for
next year. One thing is for sure;
it is anyone's game.

Dublin's Temple Bar
the often rainy Irish day. Starting
out from Temple Bar, the heavily
trafficked Ha'Penny Bridge takes
you across the river Liffey to the
bustling shopping areas streets of
the north, and O'Connell Street,
Dublin's main thoroughfare.
O'Connell St. is a busy street
lined with department stores,
magnificent statues and, if you
are feeling too lazy to walk, you
can grab a local bus or sightseeing tour. However, my suggestion
is that you walk, walk, and walk!
Dublin is a very compact city and
you can reach many attractions
by foot.
One place that is worth a visit,
on, is Trinity College. The illuminated manuscript "Book of
Kells" is housed here, and is truly
breathtaking, as is the extensive
library. Ireland is famous for
its contributions to literature:
indeed both the Dublin writers
and James Joyce Museums are superb. How- i
ever, as a big Oscar 1

The house itself is part

I have some ethical questions
for you.
Here is the situation first.
Vladimir Radmanovic of the
Los Angeles Lakers is making
5.2 million dollars this season.
He loves to snowboard, which
can be a dangerous sport. So
the Lakers put it into his contract that he isn't allowed to
snowboard while under contract with the team.
Turns out, the Lakers were
right
about
Radmanovic
because he separated his shoulder while snowboarding during
the all-star break. He initially
lied about it, because he knew
he would face punishment if
the team found out. Shortly
after living the lie he made like
George Washington and told the
Lakers what happened. They
quickly answered back with a
500,000 dollar fine because he
violated his contract and will
miss two months.
My question, is it right for
the Lakers to say he can't do a
certain thing that he's passionate about? I mean, in what other
industry do you see it written
into a contract that you aren't
allowed to do certain types of
extra curricular activities? Radmanovic could've just as easily
separated his shoulder taking
the trash to the bottom of the
driveway.
I know the team is just trying
to cover its butt from having
to pay an injured player who
(August 22 - September
c
a
œ
isn't contributing to a team, but
what's 500,000 thousand to a
multi-million dollar franchise. It
may seem a lot to you and me,
but Lakers owner Jerry Buss
cleans his hands with 100 dollar
bills.
It gets to the point where athletes are no longer looked at as
regular human beings because
they make millions of dollars.
I for one know that when I'm
a millionaire one day I'm still
probably going to be the same
goofball that I am now and will
partake in the same activities
that I do now.
What if someone told you
that you couldn't do one of your
favorite activities anymore? I
can just imagine someone telling
me one day that I shouldn't play
basketball anymore because I
may sprain a wrist and wouldn't
be able to type.
The way that I look at it is that
you make your own decisions
and you should live with them.
You may think Radmanovic is
stupid for snowboarding when
he was specifically told not to,
but I think he's bad and not bad
as in bad, but bad as in good. He
is living his life, doing the things
that he wants to do.
Here's another question for
you? Would you have lied like
Radmanovic originally did or
would you have come clean right
away like he eventually did?
I don't know what I would do.
It's-hard to say unless you're in
the actual situation, but I have
a feeling I probably would have
done what he did.
I know most people think the
exact opposite of what I've said
so far, but I commend Radmanovic. His soul can't be completely bought just because he
can shoot a basketball. Apparently, he's one of those rare athletes who is still human.

my all-time favorite, the MC

of a California roll baked with a
special sauce and cream cheese
on top. Nothing else dissolves
so b eautifully upon the first bite
as the MC roll. Next up was the
Monkey Stick roll. The Monkey

"Evil Blue Thing," my friend
said as I resumed my seat next
to her at the bar. "Yeah,
but what's it called," I
responded, pointing to the
brilliant blue libation in her
hand. She j ust giggled, and
I realized that The Evil Blue
Thing was already working
its malevolent magic. The
beverage seemed to glow
with impish potential.
Sinfully sweet, but not
saccharinely so, the Evil
Blue Thing goes down
smooth, feels warm and
creamy on the tongue, and
leaves a pleasant aftertaste
in one's mouth. Like many
mixed drinks, the pure enjoyment of drinking distracts
from the fact that one is consuming generous amounts
of alcohol, so the Evil Blue
Thing can easily live up to
its name if the drinker is
innocent and allows him or
herself to get tricked by the
Thing's wicked charms. That
said, the Evil Blue Thing can
be a pleasurable companion if
one is savvy and enjoys sweet
(shocking blue) cocktails.
To make your very own Evil
Blue Thing, combine 1 1/2
ounce creme de cacao, 1 ounce
Blue Curacao liqueur, and 1/2
ounce white rum in a highball glass filled with ice. Stir,
serve, and enjoy!

Not far from our campus is
one of San Diego's gems, a Karl
Strauss Brewery Restaurant.
Karl Strauss Brewing Company
has grown to become the largest distributing microbrewery
company based in Southern California. The company's first Karl
Strauss Brewery Restaurant, in
Downtown San Diego, opened to
the public on February 2,1989. In
1999, the company installed new
brewery equipment, which more
than tripled the brewing capacity at their downtown location. In
addition, the company opened a
new brewery restaurant in Carlsbad. Karl Strauss brews eight
types of beer year-round. The
Amber Lager was their featured
beer while my friends and I were
at the brewery.
A few weeks ago a good friend
of mine was turning 23, and my #
friends and I were contemplating
where to celebrate such an occasion. We sat around throwing out
ideas. Then, I looked down at the
beer in my hand and read "Karl
Strauss." I knew at that moment
where we would be feasting that
evening.
Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurants are a perfect combination
for a f un night out. Not only were
we served delicious food, but we
also had a variety of delicious
beers that were brewed in the restaurant. By the end of the evening
my memory was not functioning
at f ull capacity, but there was one
beer that stuck in my memory; it
was the Amber Lager.
This beer is copper
in color with a
slight sweetness
that
Cascade
hops provide. It
is a lager, so it is
fermented at cold
temperatures,
which
provides
for a very smooth
finish. The amber
lager complements
almost any food.
We enjoyed an
array of their appetizers, which were
all delicious with the
Amber Lager.
The Amber Lager
is Master Brewer Karl
Strauss's favorite beer
and is available yearround on draught, sixpack or case. You can
find it almost everywhere locally in San
Diego. Most restaurants and bars will have
it on tap. Also, most
grocery stores and Beverages and More carry
it. But I recommend head-
ing up to the brewery. If you are
with your friends or on a date, it
is good spot to have a good time
and enjoy great beer. For more

Julian McMahon, during a recent college
conference call in which "The Pride" participated, explained his reasons for taking
on the role of Jim Hanson in the upcoming
film "Premonition." "I was really interested in this movie initially because "of
Sandra Bullock, and then I was interested
in the movie because I read the script, and
then I was interested in it because I had
seen the director's first film, and I just
thought it was wonderful."
Jim Hanson is the loving husband of
Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock). Together
they have two darling daughters and live in
a beautiful home. One day Linda receives
news that Jim has died in a car crash. Yet,
when she wakes up the next morning,
Jim is alive and well. She dismisses what
seemed like the previous day's events as a
.nightmare. The next day, however, Linda
awakens to find herself a widow. Somehow the natural progression of things has
gone awry, and Linda is experiencing the
days of one fateful week out of order.
Commenting on the fragmented nature
of the story, McMahon explained the filming process, "For me, because I come in
and out of it consistently, I had to kind of
monitor - say the movie goes over a week,
I play Thursday before the movie's even
got to it, and then later on, I'd come to the
Tuesday after that. It was a little tricky, but
the thing was it did span over a week so
you could kind of contain it a little bit. It
definitely posed its own challenges."
McMahon clarified that his role in "Premonition" is indeed a departure f rom the
roles he normally plays. "This is a very
normal guy. He's a very Middle American family, Middle American values
- j u s t a guy who loves his girlfriend, got
married, had kids, had a family." McMahon, known for more larger-than-life
roles - demon Cole Turner in the supernatural TV series "Charmed," Victor Von

Dr. Christian Troy in the FX series "Nip/

Movie Review:

Pride Staff Writer
Picture "Gladiator" meets "The Matrix"
set in the dreamlike cinematography of
"Sin City." A fresh attempt to stretch the
barriers of visual cinema, "300" is a fist
flying, sword wielding, historical adventure.
Miller, who wrote the novel that became the
film, is best known for 2005's "Sin City."
"300" is based on the story of the Spartans
of Greece, a fierce group of elite warriors,
standing up to the self proclaimed GodKing Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) of Persia
in 480 B.C. Zach Snyder, of "Dawn of the

The acting in this movie is well done.
Gerard Butler does a stellar job as the courageous King Leonidas. He dominates the
screen with a booming voice and wicked

Historic Tukwut
courtyard dedication
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, March 2, without a cloud in the sky, occasional
cool breezes, and the sun shining
warmly and brightly, the courtyard
near Cougar Central was officially
dedicated as Tukwut Courtyard.
The beautiful day marked not only
a new beginning, but also a continuation of Luiseno Tribal relations that
began with the University's first
class in 1990.
Bonnie Biggs, professor emeritus and tribal liaison to Cal State
San Marcos, said, 'Today represents the closing of the circle." She
said that the University decided to
honor the Luiseno people by seeking out a Native word to serve as an
unofficial mascot After Tukwut,
the Luiseno word for mountain
lion, (pronounced "took-woot")
was given to Cal State San Marcos,
it was only used intermittently and
inconsistently. "Today," Biggs continued, "the student leaders of2006
and 2007 also choose to honor the
indigenous people of this land as
evidenced by their successful advocacy to rename this courtyard."
The
dedication
ceremony
included a dedication prayer from
Pauma Band Chairman Chris
Devers, who also sang a traditional
Luiseno song with his son, Chris
Devers Jr. and nephew Gene Dixon.

Monday March 5, 2007,
the CSUSM Writing Center
begins offering assistance
through online tutoring. The
new program is available to
all CSUSM students, and
works similar to the in person
appointments offered. Like all
WC services, the online tutoring is free as well. The center
is located in Kellogg 1103, and
is open from Monday through
Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
I n response to the question,
what inspired this program,
the director of the writing
center since 2005, Erin Goldin
responded, "Many university
writing centers already offer
online tutoring. This campus
is mostly known as a commuter campus, so many students can't make their way to
the writing center for tutoring.
This way, busy students can
still get help."
Now easier than ever, asking
for advice about any class
paper is achievable in four
simple steps through online
tutoring. Access the Writing Center website, answer
a few simple questions about
the assignment like when is
it due, what class is it for, and
the instructions for the assignment. Next, attach your document, and wait for a response.
Writing consultants suggest
putting "as much information
as possible in response to the
questions when submitting
online for optimum feedback."
Most responses will take three
to four business days depending on how busy the consultants are.
Goldin still recommends
making an appointment to
come in whenever possible
because it can be "more productive to come in arid spend
thirty minutes. The more
interaction there is, the more
information and feedback the
student receives." Students
can make appointments online of walk-in anytime to
check for available time slots.
The center also offers workshops on a variety of different
topics every Tuesday during
university hour in University

Chris Devers lights sage during the Tukwut Courtyard dedication ceremony. Burning s age is a Luiseno
tradition to protect the area and ward off evil spirits.
Dixon also burned sage, a Luiseno
tradition intended to protect the area
and ward off evil spirits. Wayne
Nelson and two others from the La
Jolla Reservation also sang a traditional Luiseno song to commemorate the occasion.
About ten Indian speakers spoke
during the ceremony which around
100 students, faculty, administration and Luiseno people, including
students from a nearby tribal charter school, attended. Each speaker
was thankful for the acknowledg-
ment and recognition extended to
them by the renaming of the courtyard.
Chris Devers said, "This is traditional Luiseno territory, and with
the name ofthe Tukwut, I commend
the student body for continuing to
acknowledge that"
Patty Duro, Rincon Band
Member, said, "Ifs a pleasure to be
here and to have our people and our
language recognized here."
Hunwut Turner, Rincon Band
Member and Director of the Rincon
Education Center, spoke specifically to the younger Indian students
and current students of CSUSM
saying, "When they do think about
this courtyard, the Tukwut courtyard, they [should] say it loud and
strong and proud, and that's what
we should all be— proud to be
Luiseno."

. One group of students carpooled
to a grassy hill on the corner of
Manchester and Rancho Santa
Fe in Encinitas. The other group
of students arrived at the Home
Depot on the corner of Luecadia and El Camino Real. At both
sites, migrant workers are known
to stand on the sidewalk and wait
for strangers to hire them for
work.
Before the students left to meet
the workers, A nne Skidmore of
Intervarsity said, " They'll tell
you about people who will hire
them for work and t hey'll paint
their house all day long and then
t hey'll say, they don't pay us
and will drop u s o ff." Skidmore
encouraged the students to be
open with the workers. " They're

the community. These guys have
amazing stories. Most of them
are open to share and t alk." .
When the students l eft Commons, ASI's Director of Community Service Sherry Brideau
loaded her white Honda with
plastic bags f ull of peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches, bananas,
apple juice, orange j uice, nature
valley bars and water. Brideau
arrived at the Home Depot site
with about 20 students to meet
Intervarsity's Ramiro Marchena
and the workers. But once the
students parked and gathered, a
security guard approached them.
The security guard told Brideau
that she would have to park her car
across the street, in the Encinitas
Ranch Town Center because her
car contained the food for the
workers.
Once Brideau parked across
the street, students met her t o
carry the plastic bags f ull of food
and the gallons of orange juice.
In the time it took for students t o
walk across the street, a Sheriff
arrived at the Home Depot. The
Sheriff had arrested one of the
workers. If any of the men are to
step beyond the unmarked line
that separates the sidewalk f rom
the parking lot, they could be
immediately arrested. Marchena
suggested that the students tell
the Sheriff what they were h ere
t o do. Once the Sheriff knew, students walked u p to the migrant
workers, let them know that they
were students f rom CSUSM and
asked if they wanted anything to
eat or d rink. One student said to
a worker whom he had j ust given
a sandwich to, "Poco Espanol."
The man replied, "Poco English."
At this, each young man shrugged
and smiled.
The Spanish speakers of the
group were able t o hold longer
conversations with the men,
which o ften resulted in both parties bursting into friendly laughter. Freshman Katelyn Aceves
said, "I thought it was really

told u s about their stories." Freshman Jenna Spada said, "I liked it
because I can speak a little Spanish and I could understand a little
of what they were saying. They
were really f un and easy t o talk
to." One of the men told Spada
that when a local bank across
the street had been robbed, the
police immediately questioned
the men. Spada said that the man
she was speaking to said, "They
might have thought it looked like
me but I would have never done
something like that."
Students also gave flyers to
the workers that Intervarsity provided with information on a tutoring center in San Marcos where
their children could be tutored.
The flyer also included information of a church in Solana Beach
that holds Spanish masses.
Most of the workers the students interacted with were f rom
Oaxaca. Junior Leo Carillo said,
"They were saying that i t's
tough to get a j ob— sometimes
you get work, sometimes you
don't. They come here for food;
they're very impoverished. They
cross the border in harsh conditions. They make a living and
leave their families behind. So
many people blame migrants for
coming here j ust for the benefits.
But how can they [get] benefits
like health care, if citizens can't
even get i t?" Carillo added, " In
reality they are people who want
t o help."
I n j ust 40 minutes, a fter most
students had enough time t o talk
with the men, the border patrol
showed u p for the man who had
been arrested. Some of the men,
however, sprinted into the street
in spite of the opposing t raffic t o
avoid the border patrol. Sophomore Herminia Ramirez said,
"One particular thing that stood
out t o me is that as the men saw
the other guy being arrested and
they were telling me that it made
them angry because the action of
one guy reflects on the others."
Ramirez added, "I asked them if
they were treated well, and they
said for the most p art it is very
p eaceful except when the minute
men are there. The minute men
t ry t o pull them over a certain
line so that they will get arrested.
They also told me that there was
one time where three gangsters
came and stole their valuables,
and the security guard did nothing."
The event itself inspired ASI
and Intervarsity t o recruit more
students t o serve these men more
o ften. Marchena said, "There's a
Catholic organization t hatreaches
out t o migrant workers and the
homeless. We need t o see how
we can fit in with t hem— how we
can do this more consistently, at
least once a month. You kinda get

we tend to forget in today's society."

BY TIFFANIE HOANG
Pride Staff Writer
The Invisible Children website is the
ongoing product of a film whose purpose is to educate and expose individuals
everywhere to the hideous cycle of violence occurring in Africa. When three
young Americans (Jason Russell, Bobby
Bailey, and Lauren Poole) equipped with
a camera, sought out for excitement in
Africa— the only excitement they found
were the sounds of children being captured during the night, and forced into
the life of a child soldier. According to
Jason, Bobby and Lauren, this nightmare was not their initial idea of a filmmaking adventure, but the three friends
found themselves "stranded in Northern
Uganda" and dedicated their time in there
to "exposing this tragic and amazingly
untold story."
Whilst the majority of 8 year-olds in
the United States are gluing macaroni to
a piece of construction paper and sprinkling glitter across the page, children as
young as 8 in Uganda are systematically
being kidnapped from their homes by a
rebel group called the "Lord's Resistance
Army"(LRA). A gun or rifle replaces
what should be a book or a pen, and
according to the website, the children are
"then desensitized to the horror of brutal
violence and killing, as they themselves
are turned into vicious fighters." A few
number of children are able to escape,
however, the majority of the children
[m/lÚblt
remain in LRA for the remainder of their
lives, only experiencing life through fighting in guerilla warfare. The film "Invisible Children: Rough Cut," follows what
the community has named "night commuters" as children "commute" during
the night, from their villages to different towns in fear of being kidnapped.
The film concentrates on 4 boys: Jacob,
Thomas, Tony, and Boni, according the
website, "through their eyes, we relive
the terror of abduction, courage of survival, the heartbreak of losing a brother,
and the innate joy— found only in a
child." Because of their time in Uganda,
the filmmakers decided to share this film
and "inspire others, as it did them"; thus
began the movement that is called Invisible Children.
Due to the LRA, 250,000 boys and
girls receive no education in Northern
Uganda; only 30% of the schools are still
functioning, but are overcrowded. Invisible Children offers a program called
"The Education Program," where "Visible Child Scholarship provides fullride scholarships and full-time Ugandan
mentors for war-affected children." In
the ICEP (Invisible Children Education
Program), each child is provided with a
mentor who aids the child not solely for
academic reasons, but to provide "careeroriented guidance, encourage success,
and foster leadership success." There are
currently 436 ICEP scholarship beneficiaries and 15 mentors. The "Schools for
Schools" is a program that is much more
like a competition, for schools across the
United States to raise money to help build
schools in Northern Uganda. Schools are
urged to come up with different fund-raising ideas and compete with other schools
for the grand prize - a trip to Uganda to
help build a school with the money that
was raised.
According to the website, "the entire
area of Northern Uganda has been ravaged by this 20-year-long war. Roughly
95% of the people in Northern Ugandan
districts forced to evacuate their homes
are now living in camps, earning no
monetary income, and living in absolute
poverty." Invisible Children also started
the "Bracelet Campaign," which allows
Famous scientist Carl Sagan once said,
"We live in a society exquisitely dependent
on science and technology, in which hardly
anyone knows anything about science and
technology." Cal State San Marcos requires
students to know at least a little about technology. It is called the computer competency requirement, and all baccalaureate
students, irrespective of major, must fulfill
this requirement before their third semester here at San Marcos or their records will
be placed on hold, and they will be unable
to register.
The computer competency requirement,
or CCR, can now be fulfilled in a couple
of ways: either by taking a class that satisfies the requirement, or by taking the test.
However, beginning in Fall 2008, classes
will no longer be an acceptable means of
satisfying the requirement. Mary Atkins,
CCR coordinator, said, "This was a policy
change approved by the Faculty Senate on
the recommendation of the General Education Committee's Computer Competency
Requirement subcommittee."
The CCR website goes into more detail
about the test, which classes satisfy the
requirement, and provides study material
and the exam schedule. It can be found
here: www.csusm.edu/iits/ccr.
The CCR test is divided into four different sections: computer ethics, the Internet, basic word processing proficiency, and
basic spreadsheet concepts proficiency.
The computer ethics section tests individuals' understanding of software copyright,
Northern Ugandans living in camps a
way to earn money. The bracelets are
hand-made from reed and recycled wire,
and sold in the United States; the money
that is raised from the campaign goes
back into the Invisible Children Education Program. These programs function
in a self-supporting manner and support themselves because of the numerous movements that have been set up to
support each other and raise awareness
to help the people of Northern Uganda in
their struggle to survive.

copyright infringement and protection,
software piracy, and computer viruses. The
Internet section tests students on using the
Internet to obtain information. The word
processing proficiency section discovers
if students can use basic features within
Microsoft Word. The spreadsheet section
tests students on using basic features in
Microsoft Excel.
Students may take the CCR test as many
times as it takes to pass it. Atkins said,
"There is no penalty for taking the exam
multiple times." The exam itself can take
anywhere from 2-3 hours. Students may
take the exam on Mondays and Wednesdays 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. in University Hall
room 273, and on Fridays and Saturdays
from 10:00 or 10:30 a.m. until 2:00 or 2:30
p.m. (respectively) in Academic Hall room
202. Students need to bring a picture ID, a
print/copy card with approximately $2 on
it and something to write with. Print/copy
cards are available to purchase in Kellogg
Library.
There is no time limit on the test, and
there is no need for students to complete
all four sections at the same time. Students must score 75% or better to pass the
test. The sections are graded separately,
that way if a student fails one section, he
or she needs only to retake that section,
instead of the entire test. No appointment
is needed. Scores are posted on SMART
Web within each student's profile.

NHL Trade Results, it's anyone's game
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
After the National Hockey
League's trade deadline expired
on February 27, a lot questions
have been answered. With a
record tying 25 trades at the
deadline involving 44 players and
26 draft picks being exchanged
between 27 of the 30 NHL teams.
The trade deadline also makes the
playoff picture become clearer.
With six teams in the Eastern
Conference pretty much guaranteed in the playoffs come April,
four of them were active at the
deadline. The Eastern Conference leader, Buffalo Sabres
traded backup goalie Martin
Biron to the Philadelphia Flyers,
putting the weight on 2nd year
goalie Ryan Miller to carry the
remaining load and team through
the playoffs. The Sabres also
acquired Danius Zubrus from the
Washington Capitals in a move
that gives the team depth to a
long list of injured forwards.
The Southeast Division leader,
Tampa Bay Lightning made several silent moves acquiring Shane
O'Brien, Jason Ward and Karl
Stewart. These additions give
Tampa Bay depth in their defense
and much needed toughness.
The Pittsburgh Penguins added
veteran Gary Roberts from Florida, which will give this young
team a talented veteran forward
who will be able impact the
team's top two lines. The Penguins also acquired tough guy
Georges Laroque from the Phoenix Coyotes. Laroque adds lots of
toughness to the team that needs
to protect their young sensations
in Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin
and Jordan Stall.
The Atlanta Thrashers made a
bold move acquiring veteran forward Keith Tkachuk in hopes to
rejuvenate a struggling offense.
Tkachuk will give the Thrashers
another talented player who will
join a team that already has a list
of great players.
With only two spots remaining out of the eight-playoff spots
in the Eastern Conference, these
four teams made adjustments in
hopes of giving their team the
advantage over the other.
The New York Islanders
brought a shock to the hockey
world as they received Edmonton
Oilers fan favorite, Ryan Smyth.
Smyth gave the Oiler fans a
tearful goodbye, which brought
flashbacks to 1988 in Edmonton, when the Oilers traded the
Great One, Wayne Gretzky, to
LA. This move gives the Islanders the upper hand over the other
three teams.
The defending Stanley Cup
Champions, Carolina Hurricanes
added Anson Carter in hopes
of Carter regaining the 33-goal
touch that he had the previous
season in Vancouver.
The Toronto Maple Leafs
added center Yanic Perreault
to the team who will provide a
gritty, strong face-off man. The
last team in the race would be
the Montreal Canadians who
appeared to pull themselves out
of the race as they traded veteran defensemen Josh Gorges
for a d raft pick and a prospective player who cojild help the
team later down the road when
he makes the pros.
In the Western Conference,
the Nashville Predators acquired
Flyers captain Peter Forsberg.
Forsberg was looked at as the
biggest name on the market at the
deadline, and it cost the Predators two young talented prospects and a first and third round
pick. Forsberg finishes the miss-
ing pieces needed in the Nashville lineup, as they were looking for a talented forward who
could make an impact on their
team, and Forsberg should do
that as long as he stays healthy.
Not far behind the Predators in
the standings is the Detroit Red
Wings who acquired Todd Bertuzzi from the Florida Panthers.
Bertuzzi is currently hurt but
should be joining the Red Wings
prior to the playoffs. Bertuzzi
could give the Red Wings that
extra edge in a playoff series
with his scoring and playmaking
ability.
The San Jose Sharks added
veteran forward Bill Guerin
from the St. Louis Blues. Guerin
gives the Sharks another scorer
who should fit right in with last
years MVP Joe Thornton.
The Blues gained three prospects, two first round picks,
and one second and third round
pick by trading both Tkachuk
and Guerin. And if both these
players return to St. Louis at the
end of the season, St. Louis will
be looking at this deadline as a
great way to rebuilding a team
that once made it to the Stanley
Cup Playoffs 25 times in a row.
The Dallas Stars were able
to add long time Kings captain
Mattis Norstrom. Norstrom give
the Stars a talented veteran blue
liner who has great leadership.
Also added prior to the deadline was forward Ladislav Nagy.
Nagy could be a great pick for
the Stars if Nagy can regain the
scoring capability he had in past
seasons.
The biggest shock of them all
was how the Pacific Division
leader, Anaheim Ducks failed to
acquire a steady defense and a
big named forward for the Cory
Perry and Ryan Getzlaf line.
The Ducks failure to acquire
a big name player allows the
other Western Conference teams
to strengthen themselves and
better prepare themselves for
when they face the Ducks in the
playoffs.
For the teams that knew they
were going to the playoffs, they
choose to buy while those who
were already out decided to sell
their players for their futures.
There can only be one Stanley
Cup Champion, which means 29
losers who will be rebuilding for
next year. One thing is for sure;
it is anyone's game.

Dublin's Temple Bar
the often rainy Irish day. Starting
out from Temple Bar, the heavily
trafficked Ha'Penny Bridge takes
you across the river Liffey to the
bustling shopping areas streets of
the north, and O'Connell Street,
Dublin's main thoroughfare.
O'Connell St. is a busy street
lined with department stores,
magnificent statues and, if you
are feeling too lazy to walk, you
can grab a local bus or sightseeing tour. However, my suggestion
is that you walk, walk, and walk!
Dublin is a very compact city and
you can reach many attractions
by foot.
One place that is worth a visit,
on, is Trinity College. The illuminated manuscript "Book of
Kells" is housed here, and is truly
breathtaking, as is the extensive
library. Ireland is famous for
its contributions to literature:

I have some ethical questions
for you.
Here is the situation first.
Vladimir Radmanovic of the
Los Angeles Lakers is making
5.2 million dollars this season.
He loves to snowboard, which
can be a dangerous sport. So
the Lakers put it into his contract that he isn't allowed to
snowboard while under contract with the team.
Turns out, the Lakers were
right
about
Radmanovic
because he separated his shoulder while snowboarding during
the all-star break. He initially
lied about it, because he knew
he would face punishment if
the team found out. Shortly
after living the lie he made like
George Washington and told the
Lakers what happened. They
quickly answered back with a
500,000 dollar fine because he
violated his contract and will
miss two months.
My question, is it right for
the Lakers to say he can't do a
certain thing that he's passionate about? I mean, in what other
industry do you see it written
into a contract that you aren't
allowed to do certain types of
extra curricular activities? Radmanovic could've just as easily
separated his shoulder taking
the trash to the bottom of the
driveway.
I know the team is just trying
to cover its butt from having
to pay an injured player who
(August 22 - September
c
a
œ
isn't contributing to a team, but
what's 500,000 thousand to a
multi-million dollar franchise. It
may seem a lot to you and me,
but Lakers owner Jerry Buss
cleans his hands with 100 dollar
bills.
It gets to the point where athletes are no longer looked at as
regular human beings because
they make millions of dollars.
I for one know that when I'm
a millionaire one day I'm still
probably going to be the same
goofball that I am now and will
partake in the same activities
that I do now.
What if someone told you
that you couldn't do one of your
favorite activities anymore? I
can just imagine someone telling
me one day that I shouldn't play
basketball anymore because I
may sprain a wrist and wouldn't
be able to type.
The way that I look at it is that
you make your own decisions
and you should live with them.
You may think Radmanovic is
stupid for snowboarding when
he was specifically told not to,
but I think he's bad and not bad
as in bad, but bad as in good. He
is living his life, doing the things
that he wants to do.
Here's another question for
you? Would you have lied like
Radmanovic originally did or
would you have come clean right
away like he eventually did?
I don't know what I would do.
It's-hard to say unless you're in
the actual situation, but I have
a feeling I probably would have
done what he did.
I know most people think the
exact opposite of what I've said
so far, but I commend Radmanovic. His soul can't be completely bought just because he
can shoot a basketball. Apparently, he's one of those rare athletes who is still human.

to nibble on while making my
decision on which rolls to order,
our p arty all started o ff with a
bowl of Miso soup and a house

those who have never t ried such
a house salad, it is perfectly
exquisite, with a large bowl of
romaine lettuce, chopped red
cabbage, and sliced carrots
topped with a delectably light
ginger sauce, and f reshly shredded ginger.
Though there are dozens of
custom made rolls available
only at Matsuo's, there are a
select few of my favorite rolls
that j ust melt in your mouth.
The first roll I started with is
my all-time favorite, the MC
roll. The MC roll is comprised
of a California roll baked with a
special sauce and cream cheese
on top. Nothing else dissolves
so b eautifully upon the first bite
as the MC roll. Next up was the
Monkey Stick roll. The Monkey
Stick is made up of spicy t una,
crab, cucumber, avocado, carrots, cooked tempura style with
a spicy sauce drizzled over
it, and* garnished atop a small
salad. The spiciness paired

Beer of the Week
Karl Strauss Amber Lager
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
"Evil Blue Thing," my friend
said as I resumed my seat next
to her at the bar. "Yeah,
but what's it called," I
responded, pointing to the
brilliant blue libation in her
hand. She j ust giggled, and
I realized that The Evil Blue
Thing was already working
its malevolent magic. The
beverage seemed to glow
with impish potential.
Sinfully sweet, but not
saccharinely so, the Evil
Blue Thing goes down
smooth, feels warm and
creamy on the tongue, and
leaves a pleasant aftertaste
in one's mouth. Like many
mixed drinks, the pure enjoyment of drinking distracts
from the fact that one is consuming generous amounts
of alcohol, so the Evil Blue
Thing can easily live up to
its name if the drinker is
innocent and allows him or
herself to get tricked by the
Thing's wicked charms. That
said, the Evil Blue Thing can
be a pleasurable companion if
one is savvy and enjoys sweet
(shocking blue) cocktails.
To make your very own Evil
Blue Thing, combine 1 1/2
ounce creme de cacao, 1 ounce
Blue Curacao liqueur, and 1/2
ounce white rum in a highball glass filled with ice. Stir,
serve, and enjoy!

Not far from our campus is
one of San Diego's gems, a Karl
Strauss Brewery Restaurant.
Karl Strauss Brewing Company
has grown to become the largest distributing microbrewery
company based in Southern California. The company's first Karl
Strauss Brewery Restaurant, in
Downtown San Diego, opened to
the public on February 2,1989. In
1999, the company installed new
brewery equipment, which more
than tripled the brewing capacity at their downtown location. In
addition, the company opened a
new brewery restaurant in Carlsbad. Karl Strauss brews eight
types of beer year-round. The
Amber Lager was their featured
beer while my friends and I were
at the brewery.
A few weeks ago a good friend
of mine was turning 23, and my #
friends and I were contemplating
where to celebrate such an occasion. We sat around throwing out
ideas. Then, I looked down at the
beer in my hand and read "Karl
Strauss." I knew at that moment
where we would be feasting that
evening.
Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurants are a perfect combination
for a f un night out. Not only were
we served delicious food, but we
also had a variety of delicious
beers that were brewed in the restaurant. By the end of the evening
my memory was not functioning
at f ull capacity, but there was one
beer that stuck in my memory; it
was the Amber Lager.
This beer is copper
in color with a
slight sweetness
that
Cascade
hops provide. It
is a lager, so it is
fermented at cold
temperatures,
which
provides
for a very smooth
finish. The amber
lager complements
almost any food.
We enjoyed an
array of their appetizers, which were
all delicious with the
Amber Lager.
The Amber Lager
is Master Brewer Karl
Strauss's favorite beer
and is available yearround on draught, sixpack or case. You can
find it almost everywhere locally in San
Diego. Most restaurants and bars will have
it on tap. Also, most
grocery stores and Beverages and More carry
it. But I recommend head-
ing up to the brewery. If you are
with your friends or on a date, it

THE PRIDE
'"~JULIAN M C M A H O N
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Julian McMahon, during a recent college
conference call in which "The Pride" participated, explained his reasons for taking
on the role of Jim Hanson in the upcoming
film "Premonition." "I was really interested in this movie initially because "of
Sandra Bullock, and then I was interested
in the movie because I read the script, and
then I was interested in it because I had
seen the director's first film, and I just
thought it was wonderful."
Jim Hanson is the loving husband of
Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock). Together
they have two darling daughters and live in
a beautiful home. One day Linda receives
news that Jim has died in a car crash. Yet,
when she wakes up the next morning,
Jim is alive and well. She dismisses what
seemed like the previous day's events as a
.nightmare. The next day, however, Linda
awakens to find herself a widow. Somehow the natural progression of things has
gone awry, and Linda is experiencing the
days of one fateful week out of order.
Commenting on the fragmented nature
of the story, McMahon explained the filming process, "For me, because I come in
and out of it consistently, I had to kind of
monitor - say the movie goes over a week,
I play Thursday before the movie's even
got to it, and then later on, I'd come to the
Tuesday after that. It was a little tricky, but
the thing was it did span over a week so
you could kind of contain it a little bit. It
definitely posed its own challenges."
McMahon clarified that his role in "Premonition" is indeed a departure f rom the
roles he normally plays. "This is a very
normal guy. He's a very Middle American family, Middle American values
- j u s t a guy who loves his girlfriend, got
married, had kids, had a family." McMahon, known for more larger-than-life
roles - demon Cole Turner in the supernatural TV series "Charmed," Victor Von
Doom in "Fantastic Four" (2005), and
Dr. Christian Troy in the FX series "Nip/
Tuck" - revealed, ."I'm always attracted

Movie Review:
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
Picture "Gladiator" meets "The Matrix"
set in the dreamlike cinematography of
"Sin City." A fresh attempt to stretch the
barriers of visual cinema, "300" is a fist
flying, sword wielding, historical adventure.
Miller, who wrote the novel that became the
film, is best known for 2005's "Sin City."
"300" is based on the story of the Spartans
of Greece, a fierce group of elite warriors,
standing up to the self proclaimed GodKing Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) of Persia
in 480 B.C. Zach Snyder, of "Dawn of the
Dead" (2004) fame, directs "300" with a

The acting in this movie is well done.
Gerard Butler does a stellar job as the courageous King Leonidas. He dominates the
screen with a booming voice and wicked
fighting style. His wife, Queen Gorgo

CSU approves 10 percent hike in student fees
Undergraduate tuition to increase $252 next semester
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
On March 14, the CSU Board
of Trustees voted to increase
student fees by 10% for the
2007-08 academic year. As a
result, undergraduate students
will pay $252 more. Student fees
increased by 14% in the 2004-05
academic year. In the 2005-06
academic year, fees increased by
8%. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger provided an additional
$54.4 million for the 20062007 academic year in order to
eliminate the 8% increase that
was originally proposed by the
Chancellor Reed and the Board
of Trustees.
For years, the CSU system
of higher education has been
looked to an example of quality
education at an affordable price.
With 23 campuses, the CSU is
made up of 417,000 students
and 46,000 faculty and staff
members. It began in 1961 and
annually, 84,000 students obtain
degrees from the CSU.
In 2004, Chancellor Reed
cut the budget by $11 million. In order to eliminate the
fee increase,* Chancellor Reed
would have to eliminate salary

or have gone on to work outside of the CSU. From October 2005 to January 2007, CSU
Presidents, combined, received
a total salary raise of $919,270.
All CSU Presidents receive compensation that includes housing,
car and salary fees. From July
2005 to July 2006, CSU Presidents, combined, received a 21%
compensation increase, totaling
$1,312,982.
Chair of the CSU Board of
Trustees Roberta Achtenberg,
said, "Student fees are part of
the overall revenue mix that is
needed to sustain our outstanding university system. The CSU
receives its revenues basically
from state General Funds and
fee revenues.
Currently, employee compensation for all employees accounts
for 74 percent of the expenditure
budget. The trustees are committed to bringing all salaries up
to market rate in order to remain
competitive. We cannot move
forward on this effort without
either a larger portion of the state
General Fund or an increase in
student fees."
Dennis Armstrong of the CSU
stated, "The Governor's budget
assumes $174.5 million from
the state General Fund and $123
million in fee revenue, based on
a 10 percent increase in student
fees and fee revenue associated
with a 2.5 percent enrollment
growth." Armstrong added, "To
eliminate the fee increase, the
legislature and Governor would
need to provide an additional
$65.2 million of state general
fund revenue. If any portion
of the fees are 'bought out,' the
CSU Board of Trustees would
rescind that portion of the fee
increase," said Armstrong.
history program also requires
two sets of official transcripts,
three letters of recommendation, a 750-word statement, and
a formal writing example.
The history program marks
a significant step in CSUSM's
history. With the arrival of this
new program CSUSM becomes
even more distinguished and
unique for current and future
Cougars. The program will be
the first master's degree combining history and media in the
country. The program will also
be the only program outside of
the east cost offering these specific studies. "Students pursuing CSUSM's Master of Arts in
History will not only master a
specific historical field but also
acquire skills in new media and
technology. Our degree allows
students to tailor their coursework to their individual historical interests and technological needs. Students will have
the option of completing their
degree with either a traditional
master's thesis or an extensive
project involving technology and
history. Additionally, the program will provide opportunities
for internships and experience
teaching history in the college
classroom" states the CSUSM
History Department's webpage.

students on the CSU's past and the
CFA's reasons for going on strike.
It was noted that since 2002, Chancellor Reed and the Board of Trustees
have raised student fees by 76%. The
administration has plans to increase
the fees by 10% through 2010. It was
also noted that 10% of the CSU budget
comes from fee increases and that
80% of the budget comes from the
state. This information proved that the
increases in student fees do not affect
the salary budget for faculty. Although
some believe that the increases in
student fees add to faculty salaries,
the two are unrelated. Student fees,
students learned at the meeting, will
increase by 91% in the nextfiveyears.
Dr. Linda Pershing of the Women's Studies department discussed
how the department has seen only
one new professor since 2001. Dr.
Pershing mentioned that the Women's Studies department will lose one
more professor this spring as a result
of California's cost of living and
the inadequate pay. "We're losing
people," Dr. Pershing said. "We can't
attract new faculty." Stubbs added,
"It does affect us. If teachers don't
want to work for the CSU, classes
will be cancelled."
Stubbs emphasized that students
are here to learn from professors
who want to be a part of the CSU
as much as students do. "60% of
Cal State professors come from the
CSU," Stubbs said.
Upon learning that the CFA will
go orf strike before the end of the
semester, one student asked Stubbs,
"How do we show support?" Stubbs
replied, "We're not standing behind
them. We're standing beside them.
Sign a commitment card. Pledge to
support the two day rolling strike
and not cross the picket line."
Evelyn Henriquez, a member of
ASI's President's Cabinet, discussed.
ASI's neutral position on the CFA
strike. Henriquez mentioned how
ASI's Board of Directors did not
ask the President's Cabinet for their
stance on the strike. "So they've
basically silenced a vast majority of
students who have power," said Henriquez. Upon hearing this, a student
"We're not standing
behind them. We're
standing beside
them."
-Angela Stubbs
President of CSUSQE
from the crowd asked, "Is there any
way to overturn this vote on ASI?"
Henriquez and Stubbs agreed that
there wasn't any way to overturn the
strike. "On other campuses, ASI is
supportive," Stubbs said. "But some
are taking a neutral stance."
During ASI's March 5 meeting,
Vice President of External Affairs,
Jeremy Mills stated ASI's resolution
on the CFA and the CSU collective
bargaining. Mills said, "Basically, we
are taking the stance that students have
no place in the collective bargaining
process. There's no way for us to truly
know what's going on in the collective bargaining process because they
do have closed session meetings and
the only information we get is when
either side walks out of that meeting
and spins it and so it's very hard for us
to get away from the emotional pleas
and get down to the nitty-gritty of
what the business is all about. And so
basically we're saying that we understand that [faculty] is trying to get a
contract negotiation, we understand
that it's going to start possibly affecting our student constituency groups.
We think that [faculty] should get paid
a fair and equitable rate."
Mills added, "Not necessarily us
on this campus so much, but on other
campuses, [students] have been
extremely pulled in both directions
by their administration and their CFA
because for both sides if they get the
students on their side, they have a
stronger likelihood of getting what
they want. We're basically saying
we're taking a position of that we
don't have a position because there's
no way we could have one because
it's too complex for us to process."
Regarding the time in which students will learn of the strike taking
place, one student asked, "How
much heads up will we have?"
Stubbs replied, "You might have a
week, you might have a day before."
Regarding Chancellor Reed, another
student asked, "How will this affect
him?" Stubbs explained that the
strike on Twin Oaks Valley Road
would generate media attention,
immediately resulting in politicians
enforcing change. Each campus will
sporadically participate in two day
rolling strikes until a negotiation is
reached. The strikes will not occur
in the same two days. One student
asked, "Why not do all the strike in
two days?" An SQUE representative
from CSULA answered, "Then he
knows we've done it already, and it
gives the other campuses the chance
to see who's on strike."

Track Team Looks
Great at Occidental
Distance Classic
March 16, 2007. It was another strong performance for the Cougar track team on Friday,
as the squad qualified six more athletes for
Nationals at the Occidental Distance Classic.
On the men's side, three Cougars earned
their trip to the Nationals Championships.
They're the first CSUSM men to qualify since
the 2005 season.
Leading the way was Juan Mejia. The cross
country star competed in his first 10k run of
the track season, and certainly did not disappoint. He finished 2nd, posting a time of
31:0X08.
Two 5,000-meter runners qualified as well
for the men. Sergio Gonzalez posted a time of
14:58.70, and Mike Crouch ran 15:11.16. They
finished 3rd and 5th, respectively.
Finally, though Tony Guadagnini didn't
qualify for Nationals, he gave a strong performance in the 1,500m,finishing5th with a time
of3:57.83.
Not to be outdone, three women qualified
for Nationals as well on Friday. Morgan Sjogren, Emily Jones, and Whitney Patton all ran
great times and will join the numerous Cougar
women who have already earned their way to
the Championships thus far.
Competing in the 10k, Patton was tremendous. She won the meet easily, and her time of
37:44.20 was over a minute better than the top
qualifying standard.
Meanwhile, Patton and Jones competed in
the steeplechase andfinishedfirstand second,
respectively. Patton ran 11:22.24, and Jones
finished right behind her with an 11:24.64.
Baseball Blasts Central

March 17, 2007. Central Christian
College came to San Marcos all the way
from Kansas, but the Cougars proved
to be unkind hosts, sweeping them in a
double-header Saturday, >
CSUSM came out swinging i n game
one, winning4 17 6 M 7 innings; After
spotting Central Christian a run in the
top of the first, the Cougars exploded
for their best offensive inning of the
season m the bottom of the frame.
Things started slow with a leadoff
groundout a routine ball t o the shortstop, but an error allowed the runner
to reach. CSUSM would capitalize in a
big way, as Scott Shapiro knocked in
the firstrun with a single* Austin Way
followed that up with an RBI base hit of
his own to make the score 2-0,
Then Central Christian starter Greg
Daugherty began to struggle, hitting
Terry Moritz with a pitch to load the
bases. After a pop-out, Ian Chatfield
was hit by a pitch to push across a
run, and Jason Hinton walked to plate
another. The next run came across
when Ricardo Moran was hit by a pitch.
Tristan Gale then delivered a two-RBI
double, knocking Daugherty out of the
game. But the Cougars weren't done, as
Shapiro walked, and Way delivered his
second hit of the inning - this time a
double that scored two more.
When the dust settled, the Cougars
led 10-1.
CSUSM made it 134 i n the 3rd, as
Gale and Way were knocked in by a

pitched a perfect 7th to close out the
game.
Game two wasn't quite as flashy, but
CSUSM picked up the win nonetheless
by a 6-2 score. Yet again the Cougars

BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
This first ever season of the baseball and softball programs at CSUSM
are showing promise of a bright
future. Head coaches Jennifer Milo,
softball, and Dennis Pugh, baseball,
are both encouraged by the growth
of their teams. At inception, success
in terms of wins is not a true indicator of potential. Both squads have
improved on thefieldas this year has
progressed. Cougar baseball had a
terrific showing in the PLNU Spring
Classic earlier this month, and the
softball team has been hanging tough
lately, picking up a couple wins and
enduring some close losses in the past
seven games.
CSUSM softball picked up an early
win against then #10 Concordia, but
Coach Milo knew it would not be so
easy. As of March 16, their record
stood at 3-15. The Cougars have lost
three games by one run in the last
couple of weeks and have been highly
competitive as the season wears on.
Coach Milo stated, "At the midway
point I'd hoped the won/loss record
would be a little better but we're
happy. After a rocky beginning with
a lot of youth on defense, this team is
playing much better right now."
Following a hard fought game on
Saturday March 10, when the Cougars
lost at Division 1 opponent and local
college USD, Coach Milo exclaimed,
"Against a D1 opponent, we were the
better team on the field." The Cougars lost that game 4-3 after leading
3-0 late in the game. Earlier this year,
USD handed CSUSM an 8-0 mercy
rule loss. The goal of this team in its
inaugural season is to show improvement, and it has. Some pleasant surprises for the Cougar softball team
are Freshmen Erica Coehlo and Elizabeth Bush. Coehlo, labeled "Miss
Versatile" by Coach Milo, is hitting
.306 and is third on the team in runs
scored with 7. "Her main duty coming
in was as a pitcher, but she can play
anywhere," said Coach Milo. Elizabeth Bush is batting a robust .353 on a
team that hits .239 collectively. Bush
leads the team with 11 runs scored,
and is tied for second in RBI with 8.
The Cougar baseball team has not
only grown as a unit, the results have
translated into victories in the past
month. After an 0-7 start, the Cougars have gone 7-7. "I feel great, the
team is playing much better, but we
have a lot of catching up to do," said
Coach Pugh. The PLNU Spring Classic, held March 5 through 8, finished
with the Cougars going 3-1. Coach
Pugh stated, "We played better teams
to start the season." And while they
have played well against lesser competition as of late, Pugh is "looking
forward to how we rebound. Over the
next six or seven weeks we have a lot
of tougher games. I'm excited to see
how we play against them the second
time around."
The offense of the Cougars is the
strong point, and the young pitching
staff is getting more comfortable as
the season progresses. SR Scott Shapiro leads the team in RBI with 19
and is batting .329. Tristan Gale is
leading the team with a .347 average as a junior. Palomar CC transfer,
junior Terry Moritz has been solid,
hitting .324 and is tied with Shapiro and Gale for the team lead in
HR with 4. As to the recent success
Coach Pugh responded, "The kids are
getting along. I'm really happy with
their progression." Along with the 77 record the past month the Cougars
have only lost one game by more than
3 runs in that span. This team is in
just about every game, and with a few
key hits or a couple defensive plays
late in games, they could have a much
better record. Coach Pugh encouraged, "Get away from the won/loss
record." As for the future of this program, Coach Pugh is very optimistic
saying that "recruiting is going well,
but it would really help if we had our
own facility."
The two programs are moving in
the right direction. Both head coaches
have local area roots enabling them
to bring in some talented kids. Getting through this first year of growing pains is a learning experience
for coaches and players alike. With
a year under their belt, the youth of
these teams will continue to gel,
while incoming talent will serve to
make them a formidable match-up
against anybody. For more information on the Cougar baseball and softball programs, or any other CSUSM

�T HE BATTLE FOR A FREE INTERNET
Viacom sues Google for copyright laws
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
One billion dollars isn't just
spare change for Google Inc.
On Tuesday, March 13, Viacom,
the mutli-billion dollar media
corporation that houses MTV,
VH1, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Dream Works and Paramount Pictures, filed a $1 billion
lawsuit against Google Inc., and
its trendy video hosting website, YouTube. The purpose of
the billion-dollar suit, one might
ask? Viacom claims YouTube is
in violation of extensive copyright infringement by hosting
Unauthorized and copyrighted
entertainment clips; and not
only that, but also that YouTube
is in violation at least 160,000
times. Additionally, since the
claim was filed, Viacom has
cited upwards of 50,000 more
clips that fall into the same category. Plus, of the initial 160,000
clips, Viacom estimates that the
clips have been viewed at least
1.5 billion times.
The lawsuit, which was
handed over just six weeks after
Viacom requested for YouTube
to take off at least 100,000 of
the unauthorized clips, was filed
in the U.S. District Court in
New York. To date, the swelling
opposition between YouTube
and Viacom is the largest altercation between a key media corporation and the broadly wellliked video site purchased by
Google last November for $1.65
billion.
"Over the past decade, the
emergence of broadband networks, Internet protocol a nd'
inexpensive wireless networks
has revolutionized the way
Americans inform and entertain themselves," began the
complaint issued by Viacom.
"Entrepreneurs have made fortunes providing the networks,
the tools and the creative works
that have fueled this revolution. But these same innovations have also been misused to
fuel an explosion of copyright
infringement by exploiting the
inexpensive duplication and distribution made possible by digital technology." The complaint
continues, "YouTube has harnessed technology to willfully
infringe copyrights on a huge
scale, depriving writers, composers and performers of the
rewards they are owed for effort
and innovation, reducing the
incentives of America's creative
industries, and profiting from
the illegal conduct of others as
well. Using the leverage of the
Internet, YouTube appropriates
the value of creative content on
a massive scale for YouTube's
benefit without payment or
license, YouTube's brazen disregard of the intellectual property
laws fundamentally threatens
not just [Viacom], but the economic underpinnings of one of
the most important sectors of
the United States economy."
In response, Google issued a
statement saying that it's "confident YouTube has respected
the legal rights of copyright
holders." Trying to fall back the
Digital Millennium Copyright
Act (DMCS) of 1998* Google's
lawyers are hoping the DMCA
will protect them. Furthermore,
even though YouTube has been
Consistently plagued with unauthorized material appearing on
the site, YouTube sticks to its
guns in repeating that it does not
control the site's content because
users post the content, and have
control over what they post.
With*the motto of "Broadcast
Yourself," and millions of users,
it is no doubt that the majority
of CSUSM students have visited or even fréquent YouTube
and its ,variety of user-posted
content. So, what does the billion-dollar lawsuit mean for students? It might mean no more
3 minute clips .of "The Daily
Show with Jon Stewart," or clips
of last week's "Colbert Report;"
In fact, it very well could mean
no movie trailers of clips from
DreamWorks Animation favorites like "Shrek," "Sharktale,"
"Madagascar," and "Shrek 2;"
all of which happen to be owned

Students tend to need a pick-me-up. Balancing classes, homework, exam preparation,
and a social schedule is a tall order. What do
you reach for when the feet are dragging and
the eyes are drooping? Instant energy. Coffee
drinks will never be replaced, but the energy
drink craze has boomed in the last five years.
Red Bull got the ball rolling, and its success
has led to the invention of an array of brands
and flavors.
According to the official Red Bull website,
"To feel its effects at best, you should drink
it in times of increased mental and physical
strain, for example, on long sleep-inducl ing motorways, during intensive workjj| ing days, prior to demanding athletic
activities or before tests and exams.
It is recommended to drink one can
of Red Bull Energy Drink about 30
min before the start of a concentration task or the start of a race or game
in sports." Sounds like a pretty good
'choicl W ^xolfe^-fstutKftt.
There are two main on campus
sites to obtain a variety of
energy drinks. Tim and Sandra
Sabatini own and operate the
Campus Coffee Cart, which is
centrally located between the
Commons and Academic Hall.
Resting up against Science Hall,
the Campus Coffee Cart sells
snacks, sandwiches, and a bevy
of drinks. They carry roughly
15 different energy drinks, with
the cola flavored Rockstar, and
the original green label Monster, topping the list. Along
with the most popular, they
carry: Amp, Rockstar in guava
and orange, Monster Chaos,
Sobe, and sugar-free versions of
most. Sabatini said, "We listen
to the students and carry what
they recommend. Like Amp
(a Mountain Dew derivative),
we had requests to carry it and
now we do." Tim and Sandra
expressed that they encourage
student feedback and hope to
provide what the student body is
craving. According to Sabatini,
the Campus Coffee Cart sells "a
lot" of energy drinks from open
at 7 a.m., to close 5:30 p.m. MTh and 12:30 p.m. on Friday.
The second location for an
energy drink fix is Cougar
Corner. Conveniently located
inside The Dome, Cougar
Corner is run by Melanie
Neidens. Neidens said her most
popular energy drinks are original Monster, Red Bull, and newcomer Amp. Cougar Corner

An assortment of energy drinks available on
campus.
Neidens said, "If they ask we try it, [and] if it
doesn't move we don't bring it back." Cougar
Corner carries a wide variety with the fruity
versions selling slower than the originals. On
the recent increase in sales of energy drinks
Neidens said, "You are still getting vitamins,
Taurine, B12, and other natural energy."
Along with the two major outposts on
campus, energy drinks can also be found in
the nooks and crannys of the CSUSM campus.
Most Cofcl-Cola vending machines sell Rockstar, and locations include: Commons above the
bookstore, near the Office of Extended Studies
near the top parking lot, the second floor of Science Hall 2, and outside the first floor of Kellogg adjacent to the flag poles. Additionally,
there are a few Red Bull vending machines on
campus with one tucked in the corner outside
Markstein Hall with one right next to it that sells
Full Throttle Blue Demon, a new up-and-comer
according to Neidens. There is another Red Bull
machine in the hallway of the Dome, and the
Academic Hall side of Palm Court has another
vending machine for Full Throttle Blue Demon.
"I like the Monster Chaos," said senior Rachelle
Acker, "it is fruity and it tastes good." Acker is
a regular at the Campus Coffee Cart.
"I like the Monster Chaos," said junior Adam
Lowe. "It has a sweet citrus flavor kind of like
O J."
Choosing an energy drink to satisfy one's caffeine fix is becoming increasingly harder with
more choices and more locations to choose from.
Though energy drinks are different from coffee
which can cause a feeling of being weighed
down, and even a stomach ache, energy drinks
do carry their own side effects.
As energy drinks continue to sell fast at
CSUSM, it important to keep in mind the effects
energy drinks and the large amounts of caffeine they contain can have on one's health. Not
only can high caffeine consumption cause brief
changes in one's behavior, but it can also cause
hyperactivity, increased blood pressure, irregular heart beats, and unhealthy spikes in blood
sugar. Not to mention that caffeine is a highly
addictive substance. Caffeine is a stimulant for
the nervous system, providing the extra kick
we have all come to rely on, especially during
midterms. But, just like any other stimulant, its
effect does wear off eventually, and putting the
body into overdrive for an extended period of
time will begin to take its toll.
Thus, with the widespread popularity of
energy drinks on campus, and the rapid rate
at which students consume them, it is important to keep in mind that just because they are
called "energy" drinks, it does not mean they
are healthy or good for you.

�Jock Talk Letters to the Editor:
With Josh Traffic control on campus making drivers late to class
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
I had a dream a few nights ago about
what happened when the new Padres
manager met his team. This is how it
went:
Bud Black: "As the new manager, I
would like to discuss our plans heading into the season. First, lets call roll.
Adams, check. Bard, check. Barfield...
Barfield.. Josh Barfield?"
Trevor Hoffman: "IJh Skip, the boss
dealt him to Cleveland for Kouzmanoff."
Black: "Kouzma-who? Whatever,
I guess this is an old roster. Forget roll
call, lets do some introductions. You over
there with the reading glasses, what's
your name?"
Jake Peavy: "Skip, that's Greg Maddux.
He's only won four Cy Young Awards, 16
Gold Gloves, and a World Series championship."
Black: "I know, Jake. I'm just messing with Mad Dawg. We go way back.
I remember back on September 8, 1991
when I was with the Giants we beat
Maddux and the Cubs 4-3 with a four run
7th."
Cla Meredith: "Dang, Skip. How
old are you two? In 1991,1 was in little
league."
Black: "Don't worry about it. On to
other business. We have a gap in left field
that we need to fill. We have a number
of..."
David Wells: "Hey Bud, do I really
have to stick around for this? I mean, I'm
a pitcher, not an outfielder. Not to mention, happy hour starts in 10 minutes."
Black: "Just hang a little longer, David.
We'll get you out of here soon."
Terrmel Sledge: "Skip, I'd like to throw
my hat into the ring for the spot in left."
Black: "Tell me about yourself. Which
team were you with last season?"
Sledge: "I was with this team. I only
got into 38 games, but..."
_ Marcus Giles: "Skip, Brian just gave
me a wet willy."
Black: "Brian, leave your brother
alone."
Brian Giles: "He did it first."
Black: "So like I was saying. We need
a left fielder since Bochy took Roberts
and Klesko with him to the Bay."
Russell Branyan: "I can do it. I've
always wanted the chance to be an everyday player. I think I could hit 40 jacks if
just given the opportunity."
Black: "As good as 40 homers sounds,
it's your 200 strikeouts I'm afraid of."
Adrian Gonzalez: "Coach, I can play
left field and first base if you need me
to."
Black: "Gonzo, I wish I could write
your name twice in the everyday line-up,
because by the looks of last year's stats,
you and Piazza were the only offensive
threats. Speaking of Piazza, he's late to
the meeting."
Hoffman: "Sorry to bring this up, Skip.
But, the Boss let him go to Oakland."
Black: "Well, looks like we need to fill
that position too."
Chris Young: "Skip, I've worked out a
simple mathematical equation that will
result in a World Series championship
if Rob Bowen becomes our everyday
catcher."
Mike Cameron: "Chris, I know you
went to Princeton, but that's just dumb.
Where did you get this idea from?"
Young: "I got it from this guy named
Josh Sandoval. He seems to know what
he's talking about. He can be reached at
Sando026@csusm.edu."
On March 13, 2007 I arrived on
Campus around 8:45 that morning (the
regular time I arrive for a 9 AM class). I
turned on to Campus Way from Barham
Dr. I continued [turning} right onto
Campus View Dr. to head towards parking lot C. After waiting in a huge line
of traffic for almost [ten] minutes just to
turn right onto Craven Dr, the [police]
officer finally let the cars move. Then
while waiting to turn left into parking
lot C, another officer held the cars [there]
for almost [another] [four], to [five] minutes. I noticed that there are normally
one or two parking [attendants] directing
traffic in the morning, but on March 13,
there were actual police officers. These
officers may have been trying to help
move traffic along better, but had actually cause me (I am sure others as well)
to be late for class. While waiting in the
large line of cars, I had noticed there was
no pattern for the directions the officer
was giving, not giving cars in each direction a change to cross the intersection.
There has been less traffic without any
direction in the morning than with these
officers. The parking [attendant] that
usually directs traffic in the morning and
at [University] hour does a much better
job. Please keep the officers away from
traffic [direction;] it is only making more
traffic! -Dan Evans
28 California Legislators address CFA strike; urge CSU
(Mtfantta
legislature
STATE CAPITOL
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA
March 12,2007
Dr. Charles Reed
Chancellor
California State University
401 Golden Shore
Long Beach, CA 90802
Dear Chancellor Reed:
As members of the California State Legislature we believe one of the most critical challenges facing
the California State University this year is the impending faculty strike. We are disappointed at
reports that after over 20 months of bargaining there is still no contract agreement with the
California Faculty Association.
As we know you are aware, CSU faculty salaries are much lower than faculty salaries at
comparable universities, and the average salary for CSU tenure-track faculty is actually lower than
the average salary of tenure-track faculty teaching at community colleges.
While you have argued that CSU campuses are strugglingfinancially,you awarded your
executives salary and benefit increases that average 23% over the last several years. Given your
administration's willingness to entertain salary increases for executives, we urge you to accept the
challenge of negotiating equitable increases for faculty as soon as possible and avoid any further
delays.
A few years ago you signed a Compact funding agreement with the Governor, hailing it as a
significant breakthrough to ensure CSU funding stability - an agreement that was reached without
your ever notifying the legislature of these discussions. Prior to t hat your administration ventured
on a colossal information technology project - again, without the advice and oversight of the
legislature - that was highly criticized in a state audit, for everything from its $660 million costs to
its inoperability and closed bidding process.
While we may not understand your reasons for such decisions, we view these as examples of
misplaced priorities that give little appreciation for the circumstances of faculty and students in
your system.
We, the undersigned members, urge you to settle this contract with your faculty. Your Compact
agreement was signed with the understanding that it would provide sufficient funding for CSU
campus needs, including the salaries of all its employees - n ot just executives. The CSU is a
teaching institution, and you must respect and nurture this mission above all else.
Now is the time to settle your differences with the faculty, before a strike occurs and before we
begin state budget hearings. We find a 20-month delay unacceptable. Given the number of critical
challenges facing the CSU, we encourage you to prioritize your efforts in the next few weeks to
focus on attending to the faculty's reasonable contract terms.
We await your reply.
Sincerely,
mstmmm&tfrxttt

�"Are you going to buy a sheep?" Idriss
inquired with a grin. In any other situation
this would seem to be a very odd question
indeed; however, this question was posed
during the run up to the Muslim holy day
of Eid Al-Adhha which involves a sheep
sacrifice. I was quite pleased that Idriss had
brought sheep into the conversation; after
aM,Twasvery curious about Muslim culture,
and throughout my three day stay Idriss (a
local guide) was more than happy to tell me
all about it. I decided to leave Marrakesh,
Morocco, to travel north to reach Fez, as I
had heard a lot of good things about the city.
The added allure of Fez being that I could
also visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis. In addition to visiting Fez, I wanted
to stop off in Meknes and, time permitting,
I also hoped to spend a day in Casablanca,
which is almost on the way back to Marrakesh; well, not so much 'on the way' as a
few hours train ride to the coast. However,
first things first: I had to get from the train
station to my accommodation, a 400 yr. old
traditional Moroccan Riad.
A wild petite taxi ride later, and I was
dropped off at the Hotel Jamaiis near the
ancient walls of the old town Medina. The
entrance to Medina was too small for motor
vehicles, so I had to make my way to the
Riad through the uneven, high-walled
Medina passageways by foot. Luckily, it
was not hard to find, and when the large,
unassuming exteripr door was opened up—
i was completely blown away by what I saw.
Everything was covered in small colorful
mosaics, and in the center of the rectangular courtyard, a beautiful fountain bubbled
away soothingly. Four high interior walls
surrounded the courtyard. These walls contained all the rooms. Large mosaic-covered
columns supported the roof, while spectacular wooden shutters covered the various stained glass windows of the rooms. To
be honest, staying a Riad is the best way
to get a feel for Moroccan life. In addition,
staying in a Riad also allows one to taste
the most authentic food, which is exactly
what Luiza—the Riad owner—astounded
me with as I settled down to dinner in the
coolness of the courtyard. A huge, fragrant
assortment ofMoroccan style tapas was presented to me, after my hands were washed
in rose water. And, amongst the offerings
was a multicolored array of locally grown
olives—my favorite! I soon realized however, that this was only the first course.
Subsequently, plates and plates of exoticlooking sweet and spicy smelling foods
were brought out to me, along with a brief
explanation of what everything was. Needless to say, I went to bed that night very satisfied, which was a good thing as I had an
action packed day planned the next day.
Fez is basically three cities in one: Fez el
J'did, Fez el Bali— the old town in which
I stayed—and the new town, "Nouvelle
Ville." The sand-colored high fortress still
surrounds the Medina of Fez el Bali and is
one of the largest living medieval cities in
the world. I decided to go on a tour with
Idriss around the souqs (marketplaces) of
the Medina, as I had heard that navigating
through them yourself was next to impossible, and a few minutes later I was able to
see why. The souqs (pronounced 'sooks'),
which turned out to be right around the
corner from the Riad, were incredible;
a veritable maze of high-walled, narrow
alleys lined with various street vendors.
People were everywhere, going about their
daily lives. Pungent scents leapt into the
air as I walked by the assortment of stalls.
After a while, Idriss and I stumbled upon
a courtyard full of donkeys and bleating
sheep. Inevitably, it turned out to be the
place to buy sacrificial sheep along with the
hay to feed them. The courtyard naturally
contained a great deal of banter between the
vendors and buyers and the air was a buzz
with contagious energy. Indeed, it was at
this point that I felt so truly electrified that
I couldn't keep the smile off my face; I was
completely immersed in a world that was
so unbelievably different and this was only
day one of my travels in Fez.
The souqs of Fez were and still are today
a wonderful assault on the senses and is
one ^of the ^biggest draws to the area. Yet,
in my opinion, there is so much else to do
like a trip to the ancient city of Meknes
and the stunning Roman ruins of Volublis. In all, if you are in Morocco, do not be
daunted by the 10 hour train ride to get to
Fez from Marrakesh as it offers a very different experience than that of Marrakesh.
In fact, one thing I noticed was that everyone on the train was very friendly and very
talkative; within minutes the whole car was
chatting together. In fact, it was here on the
train that I had some very informative conversations about Morocco and the Muslim
faith. At one point I sat beside a man who
worked for the King's sister! It doesn't get
more culturally enriching than this, so get
out there, especially those of you who are
timid. Explore your senses of wonderment
and treat yourself to a taste of the unknown.
It will enrich you in ways you never thought
possible.

Sherwood, the indie quartet from
San Luis Obispo, Ca. credits their
name inspiration to the enchanting green forest in the tale of "Robin
Hood." And, although there are no
tights or feather-decorated hats to be
found on the guys of Sherwood, the
morale in "Robin Hood" of good triumphing over evil fares well with the
motto of Sherwood's latest release, "A
Different Light."
Previously signed to SideCho
Records for their last full-length, "Sing
But Keep Going" and "The Summer
EP," releases the switch from SideCho
to MySpace Records has unquestionably been a positive transformation for
the band ofcreative twenty-somethings.
Comprised of Joe Greenetz (drums),
Nate Henry (vocals, bass guitar), Dan
Koch (guitar, vocals), and Mike Leibovich (keys, percussion), Sherwood's
makeup is all about making a difference through the causes they support:
Music Saves Lives, More Important
Than Music, and Save Darfur.
Reflecting an optimistic outlook,
"A Different Light" is uplifting and
easy on the ears, not to mention fun to
sing along to. Reminiscent of earlier
Relient K, with a hint of Motion City
Soundtrack, Sherwood's sound and
style—although catchy and as poppy
as bazooka bubblegum—is comparable to that of Mae and Waking Ashland.
Of the 13 tracks on "A Different
Light," there are quite a few standout
tracks. The title track, "Middle of the
Night," "Song In My Head," "Give
Up," and "Never Ready to Leave"
are all smashing hits on "A Different
Light." Additionally, "For the Longest
Time" is a snappy ditty, with plenty
of "bop-bop-bahs" to croon along to.
"Never Ready to Leave" is drenched
in Motion City Soundtrack harmonies
and could almost be the baby sister to
Motion City Soundtrack's single "LG
Faud." "Alive" begins with a softer
Beach Boys vibe then progresses into
another boppy and entertaining cut.
Rightly so, there isn't one track on "A
Different Light" that leads the listener
astray. There is no way to go wrong
with Sherwood's latest release.
Furthermore, for the Sherwood fans
out there, Sherwood is scheduled to
make a pit stop in San Diego on their
current tour at the House of Blues
downtown along with Mae and Relient
K on April 11. Set to play in the middle
of the lively lineup, the April 11 show
should be a magical and memorable
gig for band members and fans alike.

Featuring 40 images by over 30 photographers, "Woman: A Celebration," currently,
being showcased at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park, San Diego, is a
small yet powerful exhibition.
Images of women from all walks of life,
from various parts of the globe, spanning
seven decades hang side by side, forming
a surprisingly cohesive collection. "These
images enrich our understanding of how
women looked, were treated, or asserted
themselves in various eras, from the late
19th to the early and mid-20th century," said
Carol McCusker, MoPA Curator of Photog- *
raphy. "Collectively, they act as a tribute to
the. ageless art of portraiture and to women
of energy, confidence, endurance, humor and
intelligence everywhere."
In Bert Hardy's "Goodbye" (1942), two
women on a train platform wave. One presses
a handkerchief to her mouth, her perfect suit
contrasting with the fear and sadness in her
eyes. It is May 23,1942 in Great Britain; three
days later, Rommel would begin an offensive
against British troops at Gazala. Though it is
a British train platform in the picture, British
women, the same scene was being played out
in the United States, as American women in
their smart suits were waving goodbye, praying for the safe return of their loved ones.
Today the scene remains the same - different
place, different time, same heartbreak.
The juxtapositions and subtle connections between images make for a powerful
viewing experience. A young Latina gazes
rebelliously within a wreath of roses in Luis
Gonzales Palma's "La Rosa" (1989), a handpainted photogravure. Nearby, "She is a Tree
of Life to Them" (1950) depicts a young
black mother holding her children close, in
her eyes a look of distrust mingled with defiance. On the same wall, a woman dries cloth
in 1970s Vietnam, a lone black figure against
a sea of white cloth. On another wall, Heinrich Kuhn's "The Breeze" (c. 1904) captures
two English women in Victorian dress standing upon a grassy knoll being harassed by a
roguish breeze; one woman's jacket is blown
open, exposing the high-collared pristine
white blouse beneath.
There is a large element of subjectivity
when viewing any exhibition, but it seems
that that element takes on a particularly powerful role in the exhibition. "I am bringing
my own experience to this collection, and
that you the viewer will have your own journey through it. The joy here is not just in the
quality of the art, but also in the wonderment
at the who, what, where, when, and how of
these women," Whoopi Goldberg stated, in
the forward to the exhibition's accompanying book. The viewer can't help but bring
his or her own experiences — memories of
loved women, cultural associations, cherished ideals of feminine beauty - into the
museum. Whether the images correspond to
one's beliefs and memories or whether they
contradict them, "Woman: A Celebration" is
an experience not to be quickly forgotten.
"Woman: A Celebration" will be on view
at the Museum of Photographic Arts through
May 6, and those wanting to take the experience home with them may purchase the book
for $22.95 at MoPA's bookstore.

Restaurant review:
Local deli tastes like home
BY SHAWN MCKECHNIE
Pride Staff Writer
Few students have ever heard of Tina's Deli,
and even those that have can rarely remember where it is. This legendary San Marcos
sandwich shop is located just on the other
side of the freeway at 760 North Twin Oaks
Valley Road. It is a small, family owned deli
that likes to consider its food as "more than;
a meal."
%
\•
The atmosphere is simple 'with plenty of
bench seating ¡around the counters and epctra
seating in backforthose that do not like to eat
on the run. The sandwiches run the gambit
from the classic BLT to the always delicious
Torpedo, a sandwich that cannot be explained
only enjoyed. The clientele is exactly what you
would expect because of its close proximity
to both Palomar and CSUSM. Students make
up most of the business, but it is extremely
common to see administrators, teachers, police
andfirefighterscatching a quick bite to eat on
their lunch breaks.
The service at Tina's is rivaled by few restaurants, and the staff seems to know every
patron's name. How they do this is a mystery,
but it adds, to the small town feel that they
seem to strive for. Not only is the staff outgoing and personable, but there is a strong sense
of community while taking luiiph ai the deli. It
is hard to sit and eat without seeing-someone
that you know from class, a teacher that you
have previously had, or friends that you did not
know you would meet there. This adds to the
friendly community atmosphere that makes
Tina's more than a deli.
The price is reasonable and most sandwiches
are around five dollars, with students getting
an extra 10% off, which is a nice bonus.
There is no such thing as a "combo meal"
or "supersizing," but they do have plenty of
chips and drinks to choose from if you find
yourself wanting a little bit more.
Service and atmosphere are both good
things when considering where to eat, but
what really matters is the quality of the
food. Each sandwich^ made to order but
tastes more like something a mother would
make than a restaurant. These days it is
hard to find good home cooked meals, but
at Tina's a warm cup of soup and a hearty
sandwich is the standard/From the thick
slices of bacon to the insane amount of meat
theyfiton their sandwiches, Tina's Deli doe's
everything above and beyond what students
have come to expect from every other San
Marcos eatery.

Although many students hold opinions on
how campus leadership could be improved, the
reflection of those opinions did not appear in
this year's voter turn out. Only 838 students
voted for CSUSM's 2007-08 student representation. Last year, 578 students voted for ASI
representatives. The process of electing ASI
representatives has not changed in the past
three years. Each year, voting is conducted
online, one week before spring break. This
year, an email was sent to each student on Wed.
March 22, reminding students to vote online.
Six out of twelve candidates ran unopposed.

Under the stormy clouds, the wedding
party for LGBTA marched on, celebrating the first day of spring with a decadent wedding ceremony. Jay Franklin,
president of CSUSM's LGBTA, headed
the theatrical event on Wed. March 21
that included guest speaker Rodger
D'Andreas-Wahl. Franklin explained,
"The equinox, thefirstday of spring, this
is a time of equal day and equal night.
Full equality is all we seek."
The procession included flower girl
Sheena L. Medina, and two couples Josh
Lovelace and Kevin Chatham, along with
Diana Wong and Rhonalyn Santos. The
wedding party was fancifully dressed in
black tuxedos, and elegant white gowns
with contrasting sneakers. The mock
priest residing over the festive nuptials
was Richard Perez. Onlookers cheered as
the two couples approached the priest, and
switched positions to represent a gay and
a lesbian couple in a wedding ceremony.
Perez, the representative priest, offered a
serene prelude, stating, "Hooray, we are

On Tuesday, March 20, two-thirds of San Marcos customers lost power because
a vandal at San Diego Gas and Electricity Co. wrapped an extension cord around
an overhead electrical wire. The power outage lasted almost two hours at CSUSM
and spurred confusion among most students and faculty. Many students left
school for the day, not knowing if or when the power would return. Above, junior

to settle the remaining issues and
avoid using the impacts of any
potential job actions on students. It
is counterproductive to talk about
strike dates and locations while
the process is still continuing."
On Wed. March 25, President
Karen Haynes and ASI President
Roy Lee held a student forum in
the President's Boardroom. Some
students voiced their concern to
Dr. Haynes and Lee regarding the
potential CFA strike.
When Dr. Haynes learned that
94% of the CFA voted to go on
strike, she said she was "not surprised, understanding that the faculty need to continue to advocate
for what they believe is a fair compensation package."
One student told Dr. Haynes
that she could make a difference
by looking at the CFA and CSU
situation in a different way in
order to find a solution to the problem. The student said, "If you look
at it differently, as a student body
president, do you realize that you
can make a name for yourself that
would be national? It's an opportunity to redefine the problem in a
different way." Dr. Haynes replied
by stating that there are significant constraints to the unionized
environment and that the ability to
provide compensation is removed.
"There are eleven unions in the
system," Dr. Haynes said. "[In] all
of them, professional, technical,
and service employees, in all of
them, there are clear constraints.
Administrators in a system like
this are simply outside of the conversation. My excitement is going
to be directed toward making this
campus the best we can and not
trying to change a 420,000 student and 23 campus union environment that is funded by the
legislature." Dr. Haynes also mentioned how the system can change
in order to avoid the current situation. Dr. Hayens said, "It starts
with electing officials who are pro
education."
Patricia Worden, Vice President
of Student Affairs, told concerned
students that she would be emailing all students should CSUSM's
faculty go on strike. CSUSM's
homepage will continue to offer
updated information on the condition of the CFA and CSU.
princess, and we want the Disney
marriage package. But one of my
concerns is that marriage reinforces
some very traditional gender and
sexuality binaries that are not necessarily inclusive of all LGBTA
people."
Franklin also invited the audience to attend another event,
"The Constitution and the Judge."
Franklin handed out copies of
pocket Constitutions and packs of
red, white and blue seed packets,
and said, "The seeds that are provided are so that you can sew the
seeds of democracy in your own
backyards." The event on the following day hosted Superior Court
Judge David RubinfromSan Diego
County. Rubin discussed marriage

cases relating to marriage.

to quickly and easily create bibliMyBib allows users to create
ographies. The website claims to bibliographies in MLA format
which are alphabetized and formatted for printing.
MyBibPro allows users to
create bibliographies in MLA and
APA formats. The online product
also offers easier citation of books
through a database consisting of
18 million entries, an option to
upload saved database citations,
access parenthetical citation and
footnote support, and store multiple lists in a personal account
which can be accessed from any
location as well as a customer support response within 36 hours of
an original inquiry.
MyBib requires users to manually enter each piece of information of data to generate a bibliography in MLA format such as
author and year of publication.
The task can be tedious. However,
the formatting done by the website ensures a perfect bibliography
in MLA format.
MyBibPro requires users to
merely enter the title while the
website generates the remaining
pieces of information needed to
complete a bibliography in MLA
and or APA format.
Another benefit of utilizing
EasyBib is saving time and energy.
The website claims to reduce the
time required for creating bibliographies by as little as half, and
as much as two-thirds. During a
test run on Stephan R. Covey's
"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," a conclusion could
be made on the ease and swiftness
provided by MyBib. The required
information was manually entered
and with the click of a button a
proper bibliography was reproduced in MLA format and ready
for direct printing.
EasyBib seems to be the perfect
solution for a complete and correct bibliography. Managing multiple sources, collecting relevant
and correct information, and producing an accurate bibliography
are a must with all of the required
papers at CSUSM. Although
CSUSM library's homepage offers
adequate and efficient information on creating and citing sources
in MLA, APA, and other formats
all Cougars should be aware of,
EasyBib can also be easily utilized to ensure truthful and proper
bibliographies.

composition is not something that can be

compounding daily choices we make each

words, form follows function.
If students are looking for healthy ways
to make a lifestyle change and get into

campus as well as on the internet that are
free and easy to use. The website www.

user to get into shape in 3 months, with
real workouts and healthy food suggestions. A user can log in and customize a

is nothing like a wander around its ancient, the church of San Luigi dei Francesi: "The
Calling of St Matthew," "The Inspiration of
Saint Matthew" and "The Martyrdom of
Saint Matthew." I also went on the Bernini
trail; his wonderful sculptures are everywhere. In fact, it seems that around every
corner there lurks another masterpiece,
which brings me to another great aspect of
the city: signposts. Little black signposts are
all over the place pointing this way and that:
"Trevi fountain this way ...the Pantheon
this way..." you are absolutely cocooned
in historical art. A visit to the Basilica di
San Pietro in Vaticano (St. Peters Basilica),
along with the Sistine Chapel in Vatican
City is something that everyone should
experience; it is a massive expanse of
unimaginable beauty, and if you pop down
on a Sunday, you will have a backdrop of
beautiful, angelic hymns to accompany the
sumptuous feast for the eyes.
Rome is a grand place to visit any time
of the year. I am more inclined to suggest the cooler months, just because it is
less congested, however, the weather may
not be the best. During a recent December trip there I got rained on rather badly.
And, as luck had it, I was on a long walk
to find the "Bocca Delia Verità," a large,
round sculpture of a face with the famous
"Mouth of Truth." The sculpture's name
seems appropriate because it was widely
believed at the time of its creation that if
a liar was to put their hand in its mouth it
would be bitten off! Apparently I am not
a liar as my hand came out unscathed so
it all turned out well, despite the pouring
rain. Indeed, it was quite a f un evening
after all, as at thé Boca Delia I met up
with a fellow traveler and we had a great
time exchanging travel stories as we
walked through the pouring rain beside
the ancient Circus Maximus. I have many
fond memories of Rome; it really is an
enchanting place and I fully believe that,
regardless of whether you visit to embrace
history and art, or simply relax and sip
cappuccinos, you are bound to fall in love
with the Eternal City.

Jock Talk With Josh
New opportunities this Spring
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff WriterI love my
family, but I
considered disowning them
after what happened to me this
Spring Break.
The Friday
that school let
put I went to Lo$ Angeles for
the weekend. I came back to
San Diego on Sunday. I then left
on Tuesday to Tucson, Arizona
with my grandparertts to visit"
family and go to baseball spring
training.
11:30AM on Tuesday March
27,2007: We stop in Yuma, Arizona to gas up and get something
to eat. My phone rings while I 'm
eating. I don't pick up the phone
because I don't recognize the
number, and it's too loud in the
restaurant to hear. The mystery
number leaves a message. /
Noon: I jump into the driver's
seat of my car, grab my phone
and listen to the message. My
grandparents begin to chatter.
"Hi my name i s -—-- and I am
with the San Diego Padres Marketing department," the message starts.
"Oh shit, please be quiet," I
yell t omy grandparents.
The me§sage goes on. "I would
like to s et up an interviewrwith
you on Wednesday or Thursday.
Please call me back as soon as
you can."^
3
Ì2:Ì5PM: "Hi — , this is
Joshua Sandoval returning your
call. I am actually in Yuma, Arizona on my way to spring training in Tucson, Arizona so I can't
make a Wednesday or Thursday
meeting. Please give me a call
back so we can set u p something, because I would iove to
meet with you."
12:30PM: Back, on the road
to Tucson. There are 40 MPH
winds bursting across the freeway. We have been in the middle
of dust storms for most of the
t rip thus far. The phone rings.
It's the call I've been waiting for
all my life. I need to devote my
full attention towards this call,
so I pull over to the side of the
road and answer,
s "Hello?" "Hi, this is — with the San
Diego Padres. We want you
to come in on Wednesday or
Thursday for an interview."
"I'm- actually on my way to
spring training as we speak. I'm
coming back to San Diego on
Friday?'
"O.K. well how about Monday
at 1PM at the Main offices at 100
Park Boulevard?"
"Monday at 1PM sounds
great," I gratefully agree to.
I love my grandparents and I
love my family in Tucson, but if
the Padres said the interview had
to be on Wednesday or Thursday
then I would have turned the car
right around.
3:16AM on Wednesday March
28, 2007: I can't sleep. Every
time I pass out, I dream about
working for the Padres and suddenly wake up. This is all that
has been on my mind since I got
the call.
10:08AM: I get a text message
from Karin telling me she has a
court side ticket to the Clippers
game for me. She knows I'm out
of town, but decides to rub it in
anyway.
10:09AM: "I love my family...
I love my family," I have to keep
repeating this to myself so that I
don't jump in my car and drive
to Los Angeles. Luckily it's only
the Clippers. If it was a court
side ticket to a Lakers game
I would ditch my family and
would ask Jack Nicholson to be
my new Uncle.
I haven't been out of San
Diego for 24 hours and I've
already delayed My opportunity
of becoming a Padre and sitting
r
f
courtside at a Clippers game.
11:00AM: My Uncle Ray buys
me a new suit.
1:00PM: My uncie, grandpa
and I go to the Diamondbacks
and White Sox game. D-baeks
win 8-0.
6:45PM: I win $100 playing
blackjack at a casino in Tucson.
I'm starting to feel better about
being in Tucson. I no longer have
to convince myself that I really
do love my family. I really have
had some great opportunities in
life thanks in part to my family.
B y the time this article comes
out, my interview will be over.
Who knows if I will be a Padre
by then?r Either way, I can't
believe some of the things I have
been able to accomplish with the
help of CSUSM and my family.
I have worked with the "San
Diego Union-Tribune," "Associated Press," as^a scout for a
sports agent, toured with standup comedians and.now maybe a
job with the San Diego Padres.
I may be getting a little sappy
as the wind stretch of my college
days are nearing* but it's hard to
put into words how grateful I
am to my family at home and at
CSUSM.

THE PRIDE
Coverage of the Goodguys 7th
Annual Del Mar Nationals Car Show
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Rumbles and purrs sounded, the distinct
whine of a supercharger a clarion call in
the crisp spring air tinged with the mingled
aromas of kettle corn, falafel, burgers and
dogs. Sunny with blue skies and a cool
breeze, it was a perfect day for the Goodguys 7th Del Mar Nationals, held at the Del
Mar Fairgrounds. Hours later a fog bank
threatened to encroach upon the festivities,
but nothing would deter the thousands of
car enthusiasts from their yearly pilgrimage.
Hot steel juxtaposed against a backdrop
of Spanish mission architecture, an abundance of autos
stock and
^H^^^^^SL
modified, classics and kit cars - abounded,
their jewel box hues a dazzling sight to
behold. Candy, fire-engine and crimson
reds mingled with rides of teal blue, glittering gold and Dreamsicle orange.
In the O'Brien Hall, the elite hot rods
cooled their tires in the cavernous space,
contestants for the coveted Goodguys
Street Rod d'Elegance award. They glistened under artificial lighting, while
their less privileged yet still breathtak- •
ing brethren dazzled in the sunlight. I
Nearby, the Bing Crosby Hall housed !
the hundreds of vendors selling everything from custom headers to neon signs
boasting retro images from the 1950s.
For the kids, Goodguys offered a free
model make-n-take on Saturday at 1 p.m.
Kids could build their own model cars and
keep them as souvenirs. For the adults, there
I were how-to seminars from respected hot
I rod builders and a meet and greet with
hot-rod builderThom Taylor,

"Cruisin'

bodies that are partially made of wood
- called Good Wood. On display in a Spanish-style courtyard complete with bubbling
fountain, the collection of woodies basked
in the sunlight, decked out with surfboards
and vanity license plates, while a live band
played nearby.
Meanwhile, thousands of car enthusiasts
HBBP^
p erused
H p i ^ ^ ^ the fantastic array of

wares offered by the various vendors
and exclaimed over their favorite vehicles,
while munching happily on traditional
fair fare. The sheer diversity of attendees
proved that one can never be too young or
too old to appreciate the allure of the auto.
Families, small children in tew, couples,
groups of girls, and gaggles of guys all paid
their money to see the show. Whether clad
in casual jeans and t-shirts, raring to go in
rockabilly, all dolled up as r etr| pinup kittens, or sporting cowboy boots | jid cowboy
hats while cruising in a whii§ Cadillac,
show-goers had one thing in common - a
love for cars. The magnetic power of the
hotrod does not discriminate.

California is the world's 12th largest
producer of greenhouse gases. In order to
combat this environmental problem, California has been vying for special state
permission to regulate vehicle emissions
in addition to taking other environmental measures. The battle for tougher standards was won on April 2, 2007, when the
Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency has authority to regulate and establish vehicle emissions stan-
dards. Before this ruling, the EPA maintained that establishing these standards
was the responsibility of the federal transportation regulators.
California, along with 11 other states,
sued the EPA for shirking their responsibility. To California, it seemed that the
EPA was not protecting the environment
enough, especially concerning greenhouse
gases.
Meanwhile, debate continues on how
much greenhouse gases really affect global
warming. Many, including those in power,
insist that global warming is a fad. Some

politicians bring up the fact that scientists
were concerned with global cooling in
the 1970s. According to some politicians,
global warming is just the new global cooling. Scientists today have yet to agree conclusively on how much greenhouse gases
contribute to global warming, though
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) reports with 100% confidence that global warming is occurring
and with 90% confidence that it is because
of human interference.
On Wednesday, April 18, in Kellogg Plaza, the Career Center will
host its annual career fair from 11
a.m. until 3 p.m. The job fair which
is sponsored by CSUSM, North
County Times, Enterprise, UPS,
Capital Group Companies, Geico,
and La Costa Glen Carlsbad, will
have over 100 businesses on hand
for students to apply. Some of these
businesses include California Highway Patrol, Childcare Careers,
Accountants Inc., Pacific Marine
Credit Union, and Seaworld San
Diego.
Pamela Wells, associate director
of the Career Center said that students should have their resumes on
hand to distribute. She advised students to dress nicely, though it does
not have to be in f ull fancy interview
attire. Businesses will be on hand to
attract students to careers and jobs.

Check out whats available to check-out
Electronics for students at Kellogg
BY K IM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
The Kellogg Library has more than j ust
books available to borrow. Using only a
student ID card, students may check out a
plethora of other electronic devices. If it is
needed, the library most likely has it.
The library has Dell Latitude D620
notebooks available for student checkout.
These 14.1 in. screens are easy on the eyes
and include an Intel integrated graphics
media accelerator card. Each notebook has
at least 512MB of DDR2-533 SDRAM and
comes with an Intel Core Duo 1.66GHz
processor. CSUSM replaces all of its computerized technology every three years to
ensure that everything is state-of-the-art.
The laptops are available to check out at
the student helpdesk on the second floor
of Kellogg Library. They may be checked
out for three hours at a time. A yellow sign
in front of the helpdesk area i nforms students that the helpdesk will be enforcing
fines on checked out technology this year.
For a laptop, t he fine is $10 every hour it
i s late.
When asked about if the helpdesk has
been lax in the past on enforcing fines,
helpdesk worker Lauren Webb said,
"We've been forgiving in the past. We've
had problems with people r eturning
[items] late, even if it was like a couple
of hours, or t rying to renew with multiple
fines, and then that would have us not have
as many things [available] t o c heckout"
External hard drives are also available
to borrow. These contraptions hold hundreds of gigabytes of information and are
available to borrow for extended periods
of time—some for entire semesters. Help-
desk employee Kyle Andersen said, "The
external hard drive is quite a bit bigger
t han a t humb drive, but it is also bigger
and stores more information."
Digital cameras, headphones, microphones, audio recording devices, light
kits, sound kits, and even camcorders are
also available t o borrow. Depending on
the t ype of equipment, borrowing times
range f rom a couple of h ours to around
four days. A s long as there is other equipment available t o checkout t o someone
else, there is no limit on the amount of
t imes students may renew.
The higher-end equipment is available
only for visual p erforming a rts and mass
media students with professor permission.
Other technological equipment is available t o faculty only.
Right next t o the student helpdesk,
in the media library, a number of other
resources are at the disposal of students
and faculty: CDs, DVDs, V HS tapes, and
even some old school records. These titles
are not j ust merely educational; some are
j ust pure entertainment: "Edward Scissorhands," "Monty Python and the Holy
Grail," and the original "Star Wars" trilogy are among the hipper movies. CDs
such a s "West Side Story" and "Phantom
of t he O pera" are also available to borrow.
These media materials are available to
check out for one week at a time if they are
not on reserve. If they are on reserve, they
may be checked out for an hour or a day,
depending on individual title restrictions.
All media arid equipment may be
checked out during library hours: MondayThursday 7:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m., Friday
8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday
10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

From EPA, page 1
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger broke with fellow Republican
President George W. Bush to support the
new environmental measures. Schwarzenegger is also hoping to implement a
cap and trade system which will limit the
amount of C 02 industries can emit. This
system hopes to mimic the cap and trade
system currently in use in the European
Union. In the EU, industries are given a
limit on how much C 02 can be emitted. If
a company cuts emissions below the regulated limit, the company earns crédits which
can be sold to other companies that go over
the limit. It seems simple, but the state has
since learned that implementing this system
could be costly and complicated.
"I t hink that California is taking the
right path in helping the- environment,"
CSUSM freshman Janell Smith said. "It is

ment... even if it is more expensive, in the
long r un it will be better for everyone. The
cap and trade system sounds like a good
way to go."
The cap and trade system is currently
being considered nationwide. Debate continues in Washington whether this system
could be useful for reducing greenhouse
gases in America. California, meanwhile,
is still trying to get the ball moving on a
statewide level. Historically, California has
been a pioneer in environmental legislation. In the 1970s, California made moves
toward cutting emissions and air pollution
before the federal government did.
A s it stands, if nothing is done to t ry to
reduce greenhouse gases, global warming
will seriously threaten 20-30 percent of all
plant and animal species if average global
temperatures rise 2.2-4 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the report issued by the
IPCC.

Cal State Film Crew rolls out the red carpet to students
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
The Cal State Film Crew is a
relatively new club on campus.
Formed by Brandon Brown in
October 2006, the club focuses on
developing a network for students
interested in working in the film
industry. In addition to working
on smaller side projects, the Cal
State Film Crew is currently working on an original feature-length
production called "The Devil and
Ambrose Bierce."
"The basis of the club is that
cilstatef ¡Imcr e w.canij

it is a network of students that
are interested in film, not necessarily film majors," said Brown.
"It's a Catch-22 in the industry.
You basically have to work in the
industry to get a job in the industry. We have tried to create a network where you can just join the
club and you could show up and
participate." Brown said that Cal
State Film Crew is an opportunity
for students to become involved
with film on their own timeframe.
It also provides access to the technology available on campus. "You
really have access to create a highquality production value movie on
campus for literally no money,"
says Brown.
"Our main focus here is to
create projects that can be turned
into products," said Jason Raya,
founding member and producer of
"The Devil and Ambrose Bierce."
The film encompasses multiple
disciplines, explained Ryan, and
that Cal State Film Crew gives
students an opportunity to use the
skills they are learning—whether
it be in writing, visual performing
arts or even business—and apply
it to the film industry.
"It is interesting meeting people
that are actually devoted to the
Film Crew and actually want to
assist other students in making
quality productions," said business major and club member
Larry Cristia. Cristia made a fiveminute short film with Cal State
Film Crew for his "Elements of
Cinema" course which was also
entered into a short film contest at
a Las Vegas film festival.
"Cal State Film Crew is focused
on taking everything to the next
level," says member Chad Olson.
Olson also stars in the Film Crew's
"The Devil and Ambrose Bierce"
as Detective Jones.
"The Devil and Ambrose
Bierce" is an original screenplay
written by a student at UCSC, and
formatted by Brown. The movie is
a film noir that explores the nature
of good and evil within the context
of fiction and reality. The film is
directed by Brown, and produced
by Cristia and Raya. The part of
Ambrose Bierce is also played by
Raya. There are still many shoots
before the film is completed and
Cal State Film Crew is looking for
production assistants and extras.
The club will have something
available for Cal State San Marcos
student film festival on May 9—
whether it is the movie in its completion or a teaser trailer.
Tasha Sisson who plays Lady
Scratch in the film said that she
enjoys the opportunity to act in a
movie and how much the director
(Brown) really helps her get in the
frame of mind.
"Cal State Film Crew really

No butts ahe on-campus smoking policy
llowed
Controversy behind t
BY TIFFANIE HOANG
Pride Staff Writer
The smoking policy on campus
was implemented on August
1, 2005. However, it has been
brought to recent attention that
some students—who do s m o k e are allegedly not complying with
the administered rules. Smoking is limited to the designated
outside areas only, and is not
permitted in any of the Cal
State San Marcos buildings or
state-owned vehicles.
The idea behind creating
designated smoking areas
around campus is t o "protect
visitors and all members of the
campus community from exposure to secondhand smoke by
containing it to specific, avoidable areas," reads an excerpt
from the official CSUSM
smoking policy. Individuals
who suffer from asthma or cardiac problems are particularly
at risk when exposed to second
hand smoke. In addition to secondhand smoke being a Class
A carcinogen due to its cancercausing effects, The United
States Environmental Protection Agency claims that "there
is 'no safe level of exposure4 to
secondhand smoke. With designated smoking areas, people
can avoid being exposed to secondhand smoke if they choose
to do so." Oddly enough, some
designated smoking areas seem
to be placed in certain highly
congested areas on campus
(next to Science building 1, and
near the Library), where avoiding secondhand smoke is nearly
impossible. Therefore, the issue
concerning CSUSM students is
shifting away f rom why CSUSM
has designated smoking areas to
instead analyzing the effective
placing of the designated smoking areas meant to prevent secondhand smoke.
California state law requires
that there be "no smoking within
20 feet of all entrances, exits
and operable windows and air
intakes." CSUSM's smoking
policy also stresses that the state
law "does not protect people from
breathing secondhand smoke in
areas like the plazas and on stairways and walkways" and that des-

ignated smoking areas are more
effective because "when smokers
are directed to places where they
can smoke, versus where they
cannot smoke, the policy is more
easily understood and honored."
Karina Martinez, a non-smoker
on campus states that she does
not mind when smokers are in
the designated smoking areas
but becomes annoyed "only
when they're walking around
with it on campus and I have
to walk behind that nasty
thing."
When asked if she knew
and utilized the designated
smoking areas on campus,
Kate Strauss, a smoker said
"yes, I know where the desI ignated smoking areas are.
I No, I don't use them. Why?
Because, I'm too lazy. But, if
someone asked me to move,
I'd happily do so."
CSUSM encourages smokers and non-smokers to cooperate in order to make the
policy effective and understands that "proper signage and
education are key parts of this
process." For more information on the smoking policy and

areas on campus, go to http://

�Secret ingredients in cosmetics: Secretly harmful?
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Do you know what dangers may be lurking in your toiletries?
We all have probably heard the rumor
that antiperspirant use causes breast cancer.
Although the rumor continues to circulate,
an article published in the "Journal of the
National Cancer Institute" (Vol. 94, No. 20:
1578-1580) in October o f2002 that the findings of a recent study did "not support the
hypothesis that antiperspirant use increases
the risk for breast cancer."
Yet, the possibility that what we put on
our skin may affect our health continues to
loom. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics,
a coalition of various U.S.-based environmental and public health groups, released a
report in July 2002 titled "Not Too Pretty:
Phthalates, Beauty Products and the FDA."
The article stated the findings of a May
2002 study of name-brand beauty products tested for the presence of phthalates, "a
large family of industrial chemicals linked
to permanent birth defects in the male
reproductive system." Fifty-two out of the
72 products tested contained the chemical.
Another group of chemicals to be wary
of, warns the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics,
is parabens. These common preservatives including butylparaben, ethylparaben, methylparaben, and propylparaben - are known
to be absorbed through the skin. Researchers in the U.K. discovered parabens in 20
human breast tumors. Though the Campaign
for Safe Cosmetics is careful to clarify that
no single personal care product is likely to
cause cancer, the group insists "we are being
repeatedly exposed to chemicals from many
different sources all the time." This implies

Daily Value (D.V.) not established
that the danger in carcinogenic ingredients
lies ultimately in how many and how much
one is exposed to.
In 2004, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics began asking companies that manu-
facture personal care products to sign the
Compact for Safe Cosmetics. According to
a January 2007 press release, by signing the
Compact for Safe Cosmetics, companies
would agree to the following: "meeting EU
[the European Union prohibited the use of
potentially health-hazardous ingredients in
2003] standards banning chemicals linked
to cancer and birth defects globally; conducting an inventory of all ingredients to
determine whether they use chemicals that
pose health hazards including cancer, hormone disruption, genetic mutation, reproductive toxicity, developmental harm and
neurotoxicity; implementing substitution
plans that replace chemicals of concern
with safer alternatives; and reporting on
their progress in meeting these goals to the
public." Since 2004, over 500 companies
signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics,
but many still refuse. A list of companies
that have signed the compact is available at
http://www.safecosmetics.org.
To inform the public ofpotentially dangerous ingredients in personal care products,
the Environmental Working Group began
a project known as "Skin Deep" (http://
www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep). Not only
does the .project entail disseminating fact
sheets about harmful ingredients, companies that err or reform, and safety gaps, but
it also provides a database of thousands of
products, labeling each with a safety-rating
that takes into account each of the possibly
dangerous ingredients within. "Skin Deep"
will even provide custom shopping lists.
Users simply select their criteria (e.g. the
category of personal care product - Skin
Care (Sun), Skin Care (Nourishing), Nail
Care, Hair Care, etc. - "No animal testing,"
"Compact signer," "No known cancer hazards," etc.) and click "Get Shopping List."
Just because a company labels its product
"organic" or "natural", does not guarantee
the product to be free of potentially harmful ingredients.
�Finding your way through
BY ALISON AFFLECK
Pride Staff Writer
If you arrive in Prague via the
Ruzyne airport and you plan to take
the bus 119 into town, whatever you
do, find the orange bus ticket vending
machine and buy a ticket first. Unfortunately, I did not do this and in my
haze of jetlag and sleep deprivation I
encountered an annoyed bus conductor; and, as I couldn't speak Czech and
he couldn't speak English, the whole
ordeal was pretty frustrating. However,
the language of money is international
and I forked over myfineo f500 Koruna
...a fine start to my trip indeed! The
bus dropped me off at the underground
train station and I proceeded to take
the train, this time looking,out for any
orange boxes in the vicinity. My adventure continued as I wandered around in
search of the Hostel Advantage located
on Sokolska 11. At this juncture I must
advise all future travelers to take the
time to learn a little Czech before you
get to the country, my cramming on
the plane just didn't cut it, although I
did learn during my stay, and I learned
fast!
The first thing I did in Prague was
seek out a feast of goulash. After all, I
had long and excitedly suspected that
the Eastern European food would be
somewhat reminiscent of Scottish food
(and equally as healthy) and I was not
proved wrong. Taking the 10 minute
trek towards the National Museum, the
whole splendor of Wenceslas Square
(Vaclavske Namesti) was revealed in
its Christmas splendor. As a main thoroughfare in Prague, the 600-year-old
Wenceslas Square was the scene of independence protests in 1918, and also the
place where a student named Jan Palach
set himself on fire on January 16, 1969
in protest of the Russian occupation.
Look for the touching memorial to him
on the ground in front of the National
Museum. In addition to its historical
and cultural significance, the Square
is also the starting point for many city
tours, along with the expected touristy
shops, and restaurants. In winter, the
large 'courtyard' becomes a Christmas
market. It has a wonderful atmosphere;
the chilly air is heavy with the invigorating aroma of mulled wine and pastries. People wander around, jubilant
with festive music, and if you are lucky,
it may even snow a little! I found a little
restaurant that served goulash and settled in with a pint of famous Czech pilsner. Listening to the banter around me,
I pulled out my phrase book and read a
little, considering the days ahead whilst
watching people scurry around the
narrow street outside...
There is a lot to see in Prague, and, if
you are interested in architecture, this is
one of the best cities to visit. A couple
of days walking around, with or without a tour guide, will have your head
spinning with the spectacular construction all around you. One such building that is always sought by visitors is
the Astronomical Clock (Starometske
namesti) in the Old Town Square. A
bizarre and thought-provoking clock,
it combines astronomical data with
fixed and mechanical figures. The figures surrounding the clock are depictions of three of the seven cardinal sins
and, on the right side, Death pulls a bell
every hour on the hour while nodding
his head to announce that time is up!
Charles Bridge, lined with magnificent
statues, is another spectacular sight that
is also really f un to see on a cruise on
the river Vltava (Pron: VOOLtava). A
trip to the small town of Kutna Hora to
see the famous Bone church is highly
recommended. Words cannot do this
place justice! The whole interior of the
church is decorated with human bones!
Other places worth -seeing include
Prague Castle, which contains the 'centuries to complete' StVitus Cathedral.
In addition, I highly recommend a trip
to the Opera (I saw "Carmen") and the
museums, such as the Museum of Communism. It is important to remember
this difficult chapter in Czech history
and the communism exhibit is excellent.
It traces the beginnings of communism
and its role in the history of the Czech
people, along with discussing the resignation of the communist party after the
Velvet Revolution of 1989.
The Czech Republic is a fabulous and
ancient place; nowhere in the city can
you avoid the echoes of the past. Prague
commands respect and mesmerizes
with both its amazing beauty and its
tragic history, just keep a look out for
the bus and train ticket machines!
Clockwise from top: Church Portal. A bone chandelier in Kutna Hora. Charles Bridge in the rain. St. Vitrus Cathedral. An old townhouse. The Astronomical Clock.

GEIC0 IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER AND DEDICATED TO CREATING A DIVERSE WORKPLACE.
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
The San Diego Padres opened their
2007 campaign with a 7-0 shutout victory on the road at AT&T Park against
the National League West rival San
Francisco Giants. It must have been
a bit strange for new Giants manager
Bruce Bochy to look in the mirror and
see black and orange instead of his
familiar Padres blue and sand. Bochy
managed the Padres for 12 seasons. The
rival Giants lured the former Padres
skipper, and many other former friars,
up the 5 freeway and out of the hearts
of San Diego fans. Last year's leadoff
man Dave Roberts, lefty slugger Ryan
Klesko, and third base coach Tim Flannery / to name a few) joined Bochy's
migration north.
April 3: It's was game one of, a marathon 162 game schedule and pitted ace
Jake Peavy on the mound against Giants
starter, and recently signed $126 million dollar man, Barry Zito. A product
of San Diego (University High School),
Zito left the Oakland A's and followed
the greenbacks across thé bay to the
Giants. Rookie Padres manager Bud
Black hoped to begin his tenure with a
victory. Black is a very even keeled guy
who was the pitching coach for the LA
Angels of Anaheim when they claimed
the World Series title in 2002 over the
San Francisco Giants in a seven-game
thriller. That series gave Black a chance
to see Barry Bonds up close and personal. Coming into the season, Bonds,
the Darth Vader of baseball outside
of San Francisco, has his most career
homeruns-"against the~Patfres with 85.
That's roughly 12 percent of his 734
total entering this season. He is knocking on the door of the most hallowed
recprd in sports, Hank Aaron's 755
career homeruns. *
Peavy was lights out, becoming the
first Padres starter to win back-to-back
opening day starts since Clay Kirby in
1972-73. Peavy pitched six scoreless
innings, giving up three hits while striking out six. He pounded the. strike zone
with fastballs before handing the ball to
his bullpen. Last year's rookie phenom
Cla Meredith pitched a scoreless seventh inning and new acquisition Heath
Bell did not allow a run in the eighth
or ninth. Zito was touched up for three
runs in hisfiveinnings and lost his third
consecutive opening day start.
The offense was highlighted by a
career-best four-hit performance by
catcher Josh Bard and two doubles from
RF Brian Giles. IB Adrian Gonzalez
knocked in a run, and newly acquired *
LF Jose Cruz Jr. had two RBI. The
Padres showed a glimpse of what can
make this team very successful. Without a ton of pop in the lineup, this club
must get good starting pitching and
hand the ball to an extremely talented
bullpen. The offense, anchored by Gonzalez, has to produce timely hitting up
and down the lineup. The 2007 version
of the Padres do not have an abundance
of speed so good managing and clutch
hitting will be a major factor.
The win was the first ever opening
day shutout for the Padres in team history. The Giants were shut out for the
first time since 1967 and only the third
tiffigiTf80 years.

Swamis IPÀ
BY KENNY KING
Pride Staff Writer
Swamis IPA is a beer for the serious
beer lover. Swamis IPA is a true San
Diego original and can only be enjoyed
at Pizza Port in Solana Beach. If you
have never experienced the fine beer
and pizza at Pizza Port, you are seriously missing out. This is a local brewery restaurant that never disappoints.
At Pizza Port they brew all of their
own beers with some of the finest hops
and barley. Year-round they brew eight
types of beer but also offer additional
selections depending on the season.
They have everything from a California
Honey Ale that is brewed with the finest
honey in California to the Swamis IPA
that will stick with you through dinner.
The other day after an incredible day
of surfing I went home with my arm in a
sling. Thinking that my
day was over, I got a
call from a buddy telling me to meet him at
Pizza Port. Even though
I was injured I knew that
Pizza Port would be just
the solution to a hungry
belly. So I made my way
down to the 101 and found
Pizza Port as busy as ever.
When I went to order the
first pitcher, I was stumped
on which brew to choose. The guy
behind the counter began to laugh and
said, "Man you should get the Swamis
IPA. This is our wipe-out beer." When
I returned to the table with the pitcher
of dark golden Swamis IPA I could see
my friend's mouth salivating.
The Swamis IPA is a true ale. With
so much flavor, you have to drink an
entire glass to really appreciate all of
the tastes. And when you are done, the
bitter ale aftertaste stays with you. This
is not a beer for the weak. This is a beer
that could leave a lump in your throat if
you are a light beer drinker. But if you
truly love beer, I recommend trying it.

Interview
l o r ¿ ill t h e 2 0 -
with
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer

On the road and gearing up for an eventful
year, Secondhand Serenade's main man,
John Vesely, tells all about the exciting
events he celebrated in 2006 as well as those
he looks forward to in the coming months.
With his current album, "Awake," available
now in stores nationwide, the newly signed
Glassnote/LG artist continues to set the bar
high and soar through the music world. In
recent years the once unsigned artist proved
the industry wrong with his refreshing DIY
fashion^ as his independently garnered
success still resonates in the hearts of his fans
and fuels his current tour. As the next chapter
for this emotional songster on Glassnote
Records begins to unfold, Vesely's raw talent
is setting the country ablaze in gorgeously
crafted songs.
S e c o n d h a n d S erenade
With a sound almost reminiscent of
Dashboard Confessional with a smattering of
All American Rejects, it is hard to pinpoint
just exactly what Secondhand Serenade
sounds like, as the cookie-cutter covered
airwaves continue to dictate an artist's sound
and success these days. Readily apparent to
anyone who gives "Awake" a listen, Vesely's
heart, passion, and talent drip endjessly out
of each song, making the album timeless and
intimate. In addition to being recently named
MTV's "Discover and Download Artist," the
new video for Secondhand Serenade's hit
single, "Vulnerable," will premier on Fuse's
"Oven Fresh" this week.
The Pride: So a lot has happenedfor you in
the past year—
Vesely: A whole lot. My album took off in
the last year in a very independent way. Lots
of kids started getting into it, and that led to
a lot of opportunities, including finding my
current record label, [and] getting together
with a great video director. I'm already
getting started on the next album now, and
I'm actually on my way up to Seattle now to
play a show. I'm in the middle of a tour.
The Pride: How's the tour going for you so
far?
Vesely: The tour is actually going really
well. I'm really happy with the turnout at
the shows; there are so many kids coming
to support me every night; it's a really good
feeling to see them and hear them sing along.
And Monty Are I is like the coolest band
ever. I'm so happy to be touring with those
guys, and we are just having tons of fun.
The Pride: You've been extremely popular
on MySpace, being in the number one spot
multiple times. How has MySpace been
an effective toolfor you in your musical
career?
Vesely: MySpace really helps out on all
fronts. It really helped boost my album sales
before I even got signed, as well as it's really
supporting my tour right now. I'm having
several hundred kids come every night,
and it's really honestly my first tour, so the
turnout isn't from previous touring, it's from
MySpace. It's pretty amazing.
The Pride: Has signing with a label changed
your musical vision at all, or has it helped
it?
Vesely: Not at all—getting together with
a label, it's a means to an end. It's only a
vehicle, and the last thing I wanted was it to
effect what I did musically, and I mean,
of course it comes with the idea that you
have to think about more than just making
songs. You have to think about MTV, radio
play, retail, all these different elements
when you're writing, but the thing you have
to think about most of all even, is that all
that stuff doesn't even really matter when it
comes down to it, you know?
The Pride: Is the next album going to be
similar to the style of "Awake"?
Vesely: My songwriting has definitely
evolved and grown since I wrote "Awake."
[This] album is going to be a little different;
it's going to have some full band stuff, some
piano, definitely lots of acoustic, and it's
going to be more interesting. There [are]
more elements of orchestration involved.
The Pride: What can fans and newcomers
lookforward to in 2007?
Vesely: They can definitely look forward to
the new album coming out by the end of the
year. [And] to the video coming out, it's just
about to go up on Fuse, and we have it on
MTV downloads so that will be really coo},
and we have
some touring
p l a n n e d , j g H M ^ so they can
d efinitely ^ ^ K f S m look forward
to

them.

It is wellness month, and CSUSM's

upping the ante by administering a
heavy dose of motivation. There are
people who workout and people who
want to workout, but never seem to
make it to the gym. With this notion
in mind the Clarke Field House has
raised a challenge to the students,

very angry that the tuition has

not the way it did." According to
Dr. Powell, she and other faculty
are willing to support students,
should they decide to hold rallies on campus. "All along we've
said we support the students," Dr.
Powell said, "and we still are."
According to Dr. Powell,
CSUSM's commuter culture may
be partly to blame for the lack
of organization when it comes
to rallies, especially compared
to other state universities. Dr.
Powell added, "Support from us
is there, students are going to
have to show an interest."

dents that are setting the standard in the CSU
system "
In the three and a half years since Dr. Haynes
has been president at CSUSM, the campus
has witnessed the university's expansion with
new facilities and programs including: Markstein Hall, which is now home to the College
of Business Administration, the new nursing
program, both women's and men's soccer programs, baseball and softball, and what is currently underway, the Center for Children and
Families.
Dr. Haynes currently serves on the Board of
Directors of the San Diego North Economic
Development Corporation. She also serves in
leadership roles with the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and the
American Council of Education. Statewide,
Dr. Haynes represents the region in higher
educational issues of extended education and
accountability through the CSU Task Force on
Accountability and the CSU Commission on
Higher Education.
Dr. Haynes said, "I am proud to be recognized with so many other women leaders who
are making a difference. This is an exciting time
for Cal State as we continue to lead initiatives
and partnerships to meet community needs."

as well. Once the Board of
Trustees ratifies the contract, it
will be final.
On April 3, the Chancellor's
Office presented a contract to the
CFA, halting what would be the
first strike ever in the history of the
California State University system.
When Dr. Janet Powell, President
of the San Marcos chapter of the
CFA, learned that the CFA was not
going on strike, she said it was like
a "sigh of relief." When speaking
of the strike, "No one," Dr. Powell
said, wanted to do this."
According to Dr. Powell, when
the CFA's struggle may be over,
another struggle has just begun.
Thousands of students across the
CSU will be taking part in student rallies against the tuition
raise students must pay in the
fall. "CSU students have already
been hit with 76% increases in
student fees since 2002, and this
additional hike would bring that
to 94%. We urge CSU management to fight for the students
by calling on the Legislature to
include those additional funds in
the budget for next year- so that
a fee hike will not be necessary,"
said CFA President John Travis.
Dr. Powell said, "We're still
94% of the CFA voted to go on
strike, the result brought the
Chancellor's Office to the immediate realization that the faculty
were indeed willing to go on
strike for fair pay. The vote, Dr.
Powell believes, acted as a catalyst in the collective bargaining
process. "They waited to the last
minute," Dr. Powell said, "but
that vote was huge."
Dr. Powell also expressed her
thanks toward "the faculty and
students who supported us in one
way or another. No matter what
level of involvement, we appreciated the support."
Now it seems that even though

Other speakers included Felipe Robinson-Zanartu, Vice President of External
Affairs of ASI, and Izzy Mariceli, president of Espiritu de Nuestro Futuro (Spirit

Professor of Sociology, Marisol ClarkIbanez, also spoke. She provided handouts of statistics concerning the education
of undocumented and Latino students.
According to her statistics, 48 percent of
Latinos drop out of high school. Out of the
52 percent that do graduate, only 34-40 percent go on to some kind of college; 66 percent go to community college, and only 5-7
percent of these will transfer to a four-year
university. She urged those listening to take
action by writing their lawmakers and educating themselves on the DREAM act.

riences of those whom they knew were
undocumented students trying to get an
education in California.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
vetoed the bill in September 2006. He
wrote, "I applaud all young people who
work hard, graduate high school and attend
college."
Current law allows undocumented students who have attended a California high
school for three years and those who have
graduated from a California high school to
attend a state college and get a reduced 'in
state tuition rate.' Those students, however,
are not eligible for public financial aid dollars. California has over 100,000 students
here legally who apply annually for financial aid to attend college, and our state has
limited funds available for this important
purpose.
"While I do not believe that undocumented children should be penalized
for the acts of their parents," Governor
Schwarzenegger wrote, "this bill would
penalize students here legally by reducing
thefinancialaid they rely on to allow them
to go to college and pursue their dreams.
For this reason, I am unable to sign this
bill."
Gricelda Alva, a student who spoke at
the rally, said "I was amazed at the turnout
for our event. I also felt the great support
from our faculty, staff and administrators
who took a moment to learn more about the
plight of undocumented students, because
their struggles are something unheard of to
the general student population at CSUSM.
I am grateful for the wonderful work of
Espiritu de Nuestro Futuro and its collaboration with ASI, and great support from
Progressive Activist Network who helped
make this event possible."
The rally provided free subway sandwiches, chips and soda for those who
showed up.
The event gathered 145 student signatures in support for the passing of SB160.

�Website
of the

BY TIFFANIE HOANG
Pride Staff Writer
"Share, reuse, and remix - legally" is
the slogan of the website www.creativecommons.org. The website "provides free
tools that let authors, scientists, artists, and
educators easily mark their creative work
with the freedoms they want it to carry."
Essentially, the entirety of the website's
raw source material online provides students with "scholarship, music, film, photography, literature, courseware, etc" and
not only acts as an additional research tool,
but also actively provides students with
sound clips, songs, pictures, and movies
to use in and outside of school. Because
Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization, everything they do is absolutely
free. The organization was established in
2001 and is guided by an impressive Board
of Directors, and both of the Internet &
Society centers at Harvard University and
Stanford Law School University helped in
getting the project off the ground.
The Creative Commons website is
broken down into five categories (that
they call "commons"): Science Commons,
¡Commons, cclnternational, ccLabs, and
ccMixter. The Science Commons is "built
on the promise of Open Access to scholarly literature and data, Science Commons identifies and eases key barriers to
the movement of information, tools and
data through the scientific research cycle."
The iCommons consists of a much broader
spectrum of topics but dedicates itself to
creating a "united global commons front
by collaborating with open education,
access to knowledge, free software, open
access publishing and free culture communities around the world." For students
who are involved in a band or simply love
music, ccMixter "is a community music
site featuring
remixes
licensed
under Creative Commons,
where you can listen to, sample, mash-up,
or interact with music in whatever way you
want."
The "Education" portion of the website
provides incredible access to schools such
as MIT, Rice University, and the Berklee
College of Music. MIT's "OpenCourseWare" offers "a free and open educational
resource (OER) for educators, students,
and self-learners around the world." Rice
University Offers a program called "Connexions," where anyone can view and/or
contribute to "small knowledge chunks"
that they call "modules" which can be
organized into categories. Berklee College of Music offers free online music
lessons that students can download,
share and trade. These three programs
are amongst many others that Creative
Commons provides as a resource to aid
and enhance student's educational experience.
The website is extremely large and provides such an ample amount of information that the best way students can acquaint
themselves with the site is simply to search
around and customize searches in accordance to their academic needs. For more

�ASI's annual clothing drive Saving your
three weeks on campus
cents with ASI
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
ASI is currently accepting clothes
and shoes for the 2007 CSUSM
clothes drive which focuses on new
and used articles of clothing to be
donated to the Center for Community Solutions (CCS) and the Salvation Army. In an attempt to establish
an annual event, Sherry Brideau the
current Director of Community Service for ASI is asking students to look
into their closets and part with barely
worn items to help people in need.
The clothing drive began April 2 and
runs through Friday, April 20th.
According to their website, http://
www.ccssd.org/about.html, "Each
year, CCS assists more than 12,000
men, women and children affected
by relationship violence and sexual
assault. Our services are divided
among five program areas including:
a Rape Crisis Center that provides
services for survivors of sexual
assault along with a 24-hour bilingual crisis Helpline and hospital
and court accompaniment services
for rape survivors; a clinical department specializing in counseling and
therapy services that address the
emotional aspects of relationship
violence and sexual assault for victims and their families; a legal clinic
assisting individuals with filing
temporary restraining orders and
other family law matters; a Education and Outreach Department that
uses education as a tool for violence
prevention and change for professional audiences, youth groups and
the general public; and a Residential
Services Department that includes a
24-hour emergency shelter and transitional housing program for victims of domestic violence and their
children." Regarding the student
donation to CCS Brideau said, "It is
important because we are donating
to a worthy cause. The women who
are at the CCS shelters are coming
from domestic violence. They usually come with just the clothes on
their backs. When they are in transitional housing they need nicer
clothes for court dates or job interviews."
Last year ASI focused solely on
donating to the Salvation Army and
had about "17 bags," according to
Brideau and currently has around
"four trash cans full of [clothes] and
still have more people donating."
As Director of Community Service,
she is in charge of planning and
organizing community service and
volunteer opportunities for CSUSM
students. This year Brideau has been
involved in setting up a few beach
clean-ups and feeding migrant
workers, to name a few. To get more
involved, email "Sherry Brideau" at
brideOOl @csusm.edu.
Drop off spots for clothing and
shoes are: Commons 203, the Women's Center located at FCB 102, and
the UVA Community Building.

Unveiling VPA Visual and Perfomiing Arts facilities on campus
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
The Arts Building houses some
of the most advanced technological
equipment on campus—when it comes
to music. To most of us, the Arts Building is a mystery. What's there? What is
it for? The answers to those questions
will be revealed.
The first floor is home to seven
music practice rooms which students
can we use on a first-come, first-served
basis to practice instruments of their
choice; they do not even need to be
visual performing arts students to use
these practice rooms, some of which
have pianos in them. The first floor
also houses the Indonesian Gamelan
room. In this room, students can play
authentic gamelan instruments all the
way from Indonesia if they are registered in the class. The instruments
range from the small xylophone type
keyboards to giant gongs. All of them
are beautifully adorned.
The electronic recording studio
is also on the first floor. This studio
records CD-quality music that is
accessible to electronic music students. There are many keyboards and
mixers. The software available is ProTools on the Apple computer operating system.
The first floor also has a giant
dance studio, and a performance-rehearsal area. On
the second floor, there is
a control room which
contains all of the buttons and whistles which
control the performance-rehearsal area.
It is high-tech: filled
with light controls,
microphone controls,
mixers,
speakers,
computers and other
advanced equipment.
The second floor is
also home to the biggest lecture hall on
campus which dou-
bles for a performance hall for Music
students on occasion: Arts room 240.
At full capacity, 250 people can be
seated.
The Arts Building is just five years
old. Before 2002, the Visual and Performing Arts program was housed in
three portables on the edge of campus.
Dr. Bill Bradbury, Professor of Music,
said that it really helps to have a building that can inspire students on campus.
"It made a big difference. We went to
having 45-50 VPA majors tofivetimes
as many majors. It really helped us
have a presence on campus."
The Music program continues to
grow. Bradbury said that there
is a proposal that would
develop an official Music
major and minor. He
is hopeful that those
programs should
be in place by
the fall of
2009.
Coming in Fall 2007 is the university's first choral ensemble. Dr.
Mtafiti Imara, Performing Arts Professor, is looking for students who
would like to be a part of the group.
"We are really excited about this. We
are going to do a university singing
group." Dr. Imara said. Interested
students should contact him. His email is mimara@csusm.edu, and his
office is Arts 308.
There are a lot ofmusical resources
available to students in the Arts
Building. If students are interested,
they should definitely take advantage of these resources.

Cougar Prido Rally
On Monday April 9, ASI hosted the 3rd annual Cougar Pride Rally. Students gathered during
University Hour to participate in games and to show their Cougar Pride. The student who showed
the most pride, either with blue or white paint on their face, CSUSM attire or with enthusiasm, won
a free ipod from ASI. CSUSM cheerleaders were present at the event, along with student leaders
and those students just looking to have fun. In one contest, students had to cover their face in
shaving cream, at which point other students threw cheetos at their face. The student whose face
contained the most cheetos, won. In another competition, ASI leaders laid eggs on the ground,
blindfolded students and told them to try and avoid the eggs. But once the students were blindfolded, the ASI members removed the eggs from the ground and watched with everyone else as
the blindfolded students walked in such a way to avoid the eggs that were no longer there.

Padres start to the 2007 season
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
After ten games, the San
Diego Padres sit at six up and
four down. Not a bad start for
the two-time defending National
League West champs. It is going
to be a tough task to three-peat.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, who
drubbed the Padres 9-1 on a
horrific Friday the 13th in LA,
lead the division at 7-3, and the
Arizona Diamondbacks, in San
Diego for a brief two game set
Wednesday and Thursday, sit at
7-4. The Padres pitching staff
has been solid while the offense
has shown an ability to come
back in the late innings.
To open the season, San Diego
took two of three against the NoCal rival San Francisco Giants.
Former Padres manager, and
current Giants skipper Bruce
Bochy, saw his old team yield a
measly six runs in three games
at AT&T Park in the opening
series of the 2007 campaign.
Ace pitcher Jake Peavy tossed
a gem opening night, and closer
Trevor Hoffman added to his
all-time major league leading
saves total in game two. The
save was Hoffman's 483rd of his
hall-of-fame career. The game
was highlighted by an eighth
inning two-run blast by IB
Adrian Gonzalez that sealed the
victory. Game three saw Clay
Hensley, ailing from a blister on
the middle finger of his pitching
hand, give upfiveearned runs in
4 2/3 innings and the Padres lost
for the first time this season.
The home opener at Petco Park
did not go the fans' way. Free
agent signing Greg Maddux,
who came into this year 10th on
the all-time wins list with 333,
did not fair well in his Padres
debut. Maddux gave up four
earned runs in 5 1/3 innings as
the Friars fell to another division
opponent, the Colorado Rockies
5-4. The Padres took the next
two from the Rockies in dramatic fashion. Saturday April 7,
the home team tied the game in
the seventh on a sacrifice fly by
Gonzalez who won it in the ninth
by doubling home Jose Cruz Jr.
to eek out the 3-2 victory. On
Sunday the 8th, Cruz Jr. homered into the jury box in right
field to tie the game in the eighth
and new 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff
brought home SS Khalil Greene
with a single in the tenth inning.
Kouzmanoff endeared himself
to the home fans after a bit of
a struggle with his new team to
begin the season.
Monday, April 9 the Giants
came to town for manager Bruce
Bochy's homecoming after a successful twelve year run steering
the ship for the Padres. Bochy
led the swinging Friars to the
playoffs four times highlighted
by a World Series appearance
in 1998. Chris Young stuck a
dagger in the Giants, winning
the game 1-0. Young out-dueled
young Giants starter Matt Cain
by pitching seven solid innings
of shutout ball. Cain threw well
allowing only one hit in his
seven innings of work, a double
by Khalil Greene in the seventh
ending Cain's bid for a no-hitter.
Pinch hitter Geoff Blum's sacrificeflygave the bullpen the only
run it needed to seal another late
inning win for the Padres. Clay
Hensley's blister problems continued and the Padres contributed to a loss by committing
some ill-timed errors early in a
6-5 loss April 10. However, the
Padres fought hard after being
down by six runs early. Adrian
Gonzalez socked two homeruns
as the team continued to show
its never-give-up attitude. The
next day Greg Maddux followed
with his first victory in a Padres
uniform, throwing darts in deal-
ing the Giants a 4-0 loss, for the
334th win of his brilliant career.
Going up to face the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine is never an
easy task, and hefty lefty David
Wells was knocked around for
five runs on eight hits in just 2
1/3 innings on Friday the 13th.
Dodger pitcher Derek Lowe
once again befuddled the Padres
lineup as they suffered their
worst loss of the season in a 9-1
loss. The nine runs were the most
surrendered by the Friars this
year and also snapped the bullpen's scoreless streak to begin
the season at 29 1/3 innings. The
Padres set a major league record
by not giving up a run by a bullpen to open the year. The previous mark was 22 set by the Chicago White Sox in 1955. It was
only a couple innings from the
all-time franchise mark of 32
notched in the '78 season with a
bullpen anchored hall-of-famer
Rollie Fingers.
Mighty D ucks t ake G ame O ne
Experience the Western Conference Quarter Finals
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
After the announcement of the starting lineups and the singing of the national
anthem, Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarter-Finals was set to begin. The
referee dropped the puck and the game
was underway.
With both sides battling hard early on
trying to gain the upper hand in the game,
the Ducks received the first power play
when Minnesota Wild's Derek Boogaard
received a penalty for charging.
After several missed scoring opportunities by the Ducks, captain Scott Niedermayer was charged for tripping, losing
their power play. The fans became angry
by the call and began chants of "Refs, you
suck."
By the end of the first period, both
teams were unable to score and the Ducks
went to the locker room knowing they had
several opportunities with two shots ringing off the post.
In the second period, the Wild took the
first lead of the game when Kurtis Foster
set up Pavol Demitra in the slot to beat
Ducks goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov 6:01
into the second period.
The Ducks were able to respond 3:51
seconds later when Francois Beauchemin
made a deep centering pass that Teemu
Selanne capitalized on by splitting the
two defensemen and beating rookie goaltender Niklas Backstrom with a quick
wrist shot through the five-hole. The goal
tied the game and allowed Selanne to tie
the team's career record for points in the
postseason.
The game was all squared and both
teams were playing a physical game. The
teams would remain tied as they buzzer
sounded for the end of the second period.
The third period began, and the pace
of the game was slower than the previous
two periods. Neither side was taking control of the game as both sides were dumping the puck and chasing it.
Then with 5:20 remaining in regulation,
Ducks Dustin Penner pushed the puck in
the back of the net and gave the Ducks a
2-1 lead after an eventful play.
Ducks forward Ryan Getlzaf passed
the puck to Penner who turned and shot
the puck. Backstrom was able to make
the save when his defensemen Kim Johnson knocked him down and fell on top of
Backstrom. The puck was still alive in
front of the net when Corey Perry slapped
at it. The puck slid under the pad of Backstrom and when it popped out of the other
side, Penner was there to slap the puck
in the net to give the Ducks the eventual
game-winning goal.
This brought the sold-out crowd to its
feet as Penny wise "Bro Hymn" began to
play. The arena would stay energetic into
the final horn. The Ducks came back to
win game one of the best of seven series
and they were able to head into Minnesota
with a 2-0 lead in the series.

�WHERE
IN THE
WORLD IS
ALISON AFFLECK?
BY ALISON AFFLECK
Pride Staff Writer
Grenada has come a long way since the
day I watched its 'matchstick' covered,
green volcanic hills disappear from my
airplane window. The matchsticks I am
referring to of course were the remnants
of buildings strewn across the landscape
following Hurricane Ivan's brutal assault;
an event that I, unfortunately, was present
for. I lived on the island while I attended a
University there and fell in love with the
place. In fact, her resilience and strength
in picking herself up again after enduring
such a tragedy as Ivan, only further solidifies the island as one of the most magnificent countries that I have ever had the
pleasure to experience. Rather than simply
recount a tragic chapter in her history, I
would like to describe an often overlooked
West Indian island retreat, one that still
maintains the real Caribbean experience the small nation of three islands: Grenada,
Carriacou, and Petit Martinique.
Grenada (Pron: GrenAYda), one of the
Windward Islands, is located in tHe Eastern Caribbean. It is small, 12 miles wide
by 21 miles long, and it is known as the
'Spice Isle' due to the fact that it contains
more spices per square mile than any other
country; nutmeg being its number one specialty . The island's history involves her
being fought over by both French and English hands several times and even though
the English Queen (albeit the image of a
very young queen) still gazes back from
their Eastern Caribbean Dollar bills, Grenada gained her independence from the
UK in 1974. Like the U.K, cars in Grenada
drive on the left hand side of the road, but
the remaining influences are more French
than English; apparent in the French placenames over much of the Island.
A visit to Grenada will drop you off,
most likely in a prop-plane, at Point Salines
the island's only functioning airport. Point
Salines is located close to the largest and
capital city of StGeorges and the spectacular Grand Anse Beach so it is no surprise
that this, southwest region of the Island,
is the most popular destination for visitors. Most of the island resorts and Spas
are located on Grande Anse beach, along
with a fairly new shopping mall; however,
the island itself remains very un-touristy.
In fact, compared to many other Caribbean
islands, Grenada is the real deal, a veritable
portrait of Caribbean life that many other
islands lost years and years ago, before
tourism became their economic mainstay.
The bustling harbour of Carenage in
St.Georges is a wonderful place to stroll
around. It is here that you will see stalls
with a dazzling array of produce from
spices; prickly apples and sour sop fruit
(tastes a bit like potato) to various types of
seafood, such as the famed conch. A trip
here will undoubtedly whet your appetite.
West Indian cuisine is spicy and delicious,
and 'callaloo' soup is a Grenadian specialty not to be missed as is the rum and
local beer, 'Carib'.
The interior of the island contains the
dense and beautiful Grand Étang Forest
Reserve that contains beautiful waterfalls
and a huge variety of chattering wildlife,
including the Mona Monkey and the surrounding Caribbean Sea with its accessible
reefs are great for scuba or snbrkeling. The

�Jock Talk With Josh: Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
^^^^^^^^
other people in
my LTWR 475
class with Dr. Robin Keehn who
can write better on this person.
I was just introduced to the
work of Kurt Vonnegut. His
semi-memoir, "A Man without a
Country," was one of the assigned
readings in LTWR 475 and it definitely caught my attention.
After I read that book I did a
lot of research on Vonnegut just
to find out who he was. I related
to what he said about unoriginality in writing, the political situation in the country, and if there
really is a God.
Writing takes up most of the
capacity in my life which may
explain why "Almost Famous,"
"The Secret Window," and
"Finding Forrester" are some of
my favorite movies. But when
it comes to having those goose
bump feeling moments, I don't
have those that often when I read
other peoples words, but Vonnegut was different.
With his death last Thursday
it brought sadness to many of
his fans. I feel gypped, however,
because I've only know of him
for a few months now. I'm actually getting into "Player Piano,"
Vonnegut's first novel, for my
COMM 445 class with Dr. Katherine Brown.
Not to sound like a stalker, but
there's one thing I do when I find
a writer that I truly appreciate. I
create a correspondence with the
writer. This is something I recommend for all people who claim
to be interested in writing. Most
writers love to talk about writing and will be cordial with you
if you show the same passion for
the craft. That's one reason why
I post my e-mail at the bottom of
this column.
When I was 15 I started reading Woody Paige, a sports writer
with the Denver Post. I e-mailed
back and forth with him and he
became a major influence on my
writing at that age.
At 18 I met Rick Reilly at the
annual Point Loma Nazarene
writer's symposium (I greatly
recommend the symposium to all
writer's) and began a correspondence with him. He showed me
that a sports writer doesn't just
have to write about sports.
Mitch Albom, Tom Friend, and
Jerry Crasnick are a few other
the status quo. You are going
to piss of people when you take
a risky stand. You are going to
have people who want to censor
you when you show opposition
to a war or to the President. This
is something I've had to deal
with, and this is something that
Vonnegut has shown me can be
done.
To end with a quote from "A
Man without a Country: "The
truth is, we know so little about
life, we don't really know what
the good news is and what the
bad news is. And if I die—God
forbid—I would like to go to
heaven to ask somebody in
charge up there, 'Hey, what was
the good news and what was the
bad news?'"

writers that I've asked questions
to. From reading tributes about
Vonnegut since his death he
apparently answered all letters
written to him, too.
I'm not the only person who
liked his style. He influenced the
likes of Jon Stewart who uses
satire to bring attention to social
issues, and Keith Olberman who
can go on a Vonnegut style rant
like no other. Vonnegut meant
so much to Stewart as a kid that
when he got to interview him on
the "Daily Show" he introduced
Vonnegut like this: "As an adolescent he made my life bearable."
Not everyone gets satire. When
you work in a mainstream industry like Olberman, Stewart, and
Vonnegut you are going to have
your critics. You are going to
have people who think you are
offensive when you question

Letters to the Editor:
Dear [Pride], As the Coordinator for Pilipino Culture Night, I'm disappointed how one your writer's has covered Kamalayan Alliance's 1st
Pilipino Culture Night. We were personally asked to send your staff writer pictures from our event. There was no indication that a story was to
be attached to those photos, for your staff writer had lacked to communicate that information. If we were informed of that process, we would
have been obliged to write a story for The Pride. Also, we were not informed that Thè Pride has any interest in writing an article for the PCN
until Sunday late night before the staff writer's deadline. As you stated in your response, we should make it our responsibility to keep constant
communication with the paper. But than what is the job and responsibilities of The Pride than? The publication lacked a story, acknowledgment
of who was involved, the time, place and location of the PCN and the staff writers name for accountability. The pictures of the production published last week did not explain the content of the Pilipino Culture Night that highlighted issues within the Pilipino-American community and
experience, especially on this campus. As the cliché goes, a picture says a thousand words. On this campus itself, those photos posted without
any context reflect a misinterpretation of our actors/actresses, the student organization and the Pilipino Culture itself. As a student organization, there are standards of excellence that we expect from our student paper. That is to reflect and accurately inform our campus community.
We suggest if that an article lacks content arid is not ready to be published, than it should not be approving for the publication. Kamalayan Alliance feels that The Pride has misinterpreted our event...[continued online at www.thecsusmpride.com] -Diana Wong PCN Coordinator
Dear Pride, This is in reference to this week's "The Pride" about Pilipino Culture Night. Those two pictures should have had an actual "article" because there was "meaning" to the event that couldn't be described by a picture alone. The article about beer seems to be more important
than the event but from my perspective the PCN was more important because it addressed cultural and heteronormative issues. It's sad there's
nothing about it and the picture didn't include all of the performers and show their hard-work. -Lan Giao Nguyen President Vietnamese Student
Association
Dear Pride, This letter is to regard the school's newspaper about
Kamalayan Alliance's Pilipino Culture Night. There is only two pictures to represent the PCN but there isn't any details about the event
that was performed at school. As one of the performers from Pilipino
Culture Night. I am disappointed at the fact that there isn't any description to explain why PCN happened. Hope you would do a better job
covering the school's events. - Anthony Lao
Dear Pride, I find it deeply disturbing that "The Pride" devoted
so little space and effort to the coverage of CSUSM's first Pilipino
Culture Night. After all the hard work that both they and myself put
into the success of the show, we deserve equal if not more extensive
coverage in comparison to the "Beer of the Week" of "Drink of the
week." Considering, a large demographic of the student attending
Cal State San Marcos are not of legal drinking age. And social issues
should be in a more prevalent spot light. Also, I feel due to the current
political turmoil that is ensuing the Philippines coverage of the first
annual PCN should be of the utmost importance, because it shows the
strength and support of a culture, especially from thousands of miles
away. In order for "the Pride" to be viewed as a legitimate school
newspaper, like the "Daily Aztec," Real News stories should be covered, not necessarily the typical college stereotypes. Cultures should
be exalted, news should brought eyes should be opened. By the way,
I'm white. - Bryce Griffin
Dear Pride, In this week's "Pride" article on Pilipino Culture Night,
there are just two pictures about he 2-night performances and no
content. It's a disappointment that the only thing written are the captions for the pictures without names. The individuals who directed,
assisted, and participated in the making of this production that took
many months of their lives to plan and rehearse, and nothing was
written about the event, there hard work their sacrifices, or even what
issues were acknowledged (homosexuality, ethnicity, culture). All
that was on the page with the pictures was a half-page spread on the
"Beer of the Week," and even THAT had written content on it. "The
Pride" should write more things that make us more culturally diverse
instead of pointless things like makeup, beer and movies. Besides,
when has there ever been a newspaper with only pictures and no written accompanying article? Unheard of... Sincerely, -Darlene Doan VP
Vietnamese Student Association
Dear Pride, You have failed to address our needs and concerns
involving the cultural diversity on the Cal State San Marcos campus.
In the CSUSM mission statement, it states that all walks of life will
be assisted in their college career. My concern is that that Kamalayan
Alliance put on their first Pilipino Culture Night and the media exposure was minimal. The excerpt, or what you decidedly wrote as an
"article," was on the back, the very last page of "The Pride." If anything, a large diverse event on campus should receive media attention,
as well as be on the front page, instead of other worthless articles. This
disheartens me because you put no thought or effect into the feelings
Dear Pride, With all do respect, we do not appreciate how the Pili- students have over this issues. All the time, dedication, effort for over
pino Cultural Night section in this week's newspaper did not explain a month was utterly ignored by the media community. The newspaper
the importance of the event. We find it very disrespectful that you and this community, including the campus belonging to us, and our
would arrange it to be on the same page as the "Beer of the Week" opinions which matter. You also do not explain the event, as well as
articles, when you wrote more about alcohol, and only 27 words about failed to address any information about the event, leaving students
lost in the abyss of their own questions. - Jennilyn De Jesus B.A.P.S.
PCN. It didn't even have contact information! - Krystal David
Fundraising Chair
Where's the Pride's quality in
reporting, that áll students should
expect from their campus paper?
Where's the content for multicultural events on campus? Isn't a
campus paper supposed to report
campus events? Where was the
coverage of CSUSM's 1st ever
PCN (Pilipino Culture Night)?
This was no quick 50 minute
event during the University Hour.
This was a 2-night weekend affair
that required months of preparation. It was student produced,
directed, performed production
that covered over 2 hours. Ifindit
disheartening that when we "chatted" at the "President's Dinner for
Student Leaders" you said, "The
event would only be covered if a
reporter was in the audience ." If a
reporter attends an event, it must
be an event that they are particularly interested in. That explains
the lack of content for the "Black
History Month." That's disturbing! Two pictures and 27 words is
all PCN received. Let's not forget
that the picture depicts all the
male participants in drag! The
lack of content was malicious &
hurtful to members of the LGBT
community on campus. You've
just recreated, reinforced and
perpetuated the misinformation
Kamalayan Alliance was trying
to address. Here's a solution: have
the secretaries, scribes or historians of student groups submit an
article of an event they have created. That would be a win-win
for everyone: the Pride gets 'real'
inclusive content and the secretary, scribe or historian gets credit
for their work. I find it alarming
that in the absence of diverse content, the Women's Center and C3
have to create their own publications. Call it freedom of the press
to write and cover what they
please but imagine if the tables
were turned? What direction will
unbiased reporting turn to next,
rallying support for opposition
leading towards the dismantling
of a resource center? -Jay Franklin LGBTA President Kamalayan
Alliance Political Chair

�A n International Affair
University Global Affairs Committee sponsors cultural event on campus
BY PAMELA CASTILLO
Pride Staff Writer
The International Fair was the place to be
April 12. Hundreds of students and professors overflowed University Hall Plaza to partake in the 5th annual International Fair. High
winds were blowing the smoke from the grill,
but that was not enough to discourage students
from the good times. Long lines for yummy
free food were the norm. Patrons snacked on
their treats of German Bratwurst, Greek salad,
croissants, taquitos, a variety of colorfully decorated cakes, and much more.
Entertainment was non-stop, and not always
planned. During the West African rhythms preformed by the TAM TAM African Drummers,
the featured dancer invited spectators to join
in the dancing. CSUSM students were more
than happy to step up. Two students showed
off their moves with a spectacular break dancing show.
Volunteers treated the audience to a cultural
costume fashion show, along with a demonstration of Mexican dancing, and a demonstration of Israel-influenced group dancing that
included audience participation. Fair festivities also offered martial arts/self-defense demonstrations with students.
University Global Affairs Committee sponsored the event along with Global Affairs
Office, Associated Students Inc., Student Life
& Leadership and a co-curricular funding
award.

Concert Review

Did somebody say Snow Patrol?
Vega4 &: Augustana at the House of Blues
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
If I had a dictionary to define
my collective concert experiences
throughout my lifetime, it would
read as the following: Augustana:
San Diego-based band, and one
of my all-time favorite bands.
San Diego House of Blues: one
of my favorite venues, period.
That said, the sold-out Augustana show at San Diego House of
Blues last Saturday night should
have been no-brainer and should
have gone down in the dictionary
as one of my favorite concerts
ever. Unfortunately, though, that
was not the case.
On their final night of touring
the states, a sweaty grip of Irish,
Canadian and Kiwi musicians
promisingly known as Vega4
mounted the stage as the soldout venue swelled with estrogen.
With beer in hand, Vega4 frontman Johnny McDald wooed the
plastic crowd while the lyrics to
"Traffic Jam" hung against the
bright foggy air. Priming the
audience for the headlining band,
Augustana, Vega4 attempted
to bring their "A" game, but it
sounded as if something got lost
in the execution.
What I had hoped would
become the beginning of a musical romance, quickly fizzled out
throughout their set as in my
opinion, Vega4 progressed into
nothing more than a Snow Patrol
cover band. Though I can appreciate the notable chunks of existential lyrics they proclaimed,
the extra sparkle and magical
connection between Vega4 and I
were nowhere to be found. Continuing their set with "You &
Me," Vega4 dedicated the poignant tune to Augustana, their
newly found road buddies. With
Jared Palomar (bass/vocals) and
"South" (drummer) of Augustana
sitting backstage stage right, they,
along with a handful of stagehands, rocked out to the mellow
and slightly poppy ditty.
Johnny's seductive vocals were
a pleasant distraction from the
harrowing audience, but were
hardly enough to grab my full
attention. "Billions of Lights," a
delicate rock song, premiered a
beautiful medley of lights flashing
and dancing all over, before segueing smoothly to the members
of Augustana waltzing onstage
with a large candleholder and a
light-post on which the drummer
of Augustana entertained a brief
pole dance.
With the house lights dimmed,
the audience swayed in a sentiment of nostalgia. As the gathering sang along with the foreign quartet, Vega4 rounded out
their set with their ever popular
single "Life is Beautiful" which
has been featured on "Grey's
Anatomy" and "One Tree Hill."
Though Johnny (vocals/guitar), grew louder. A few seconds later,
Gavin Fox (bass), Bryan McLel- the curtains lifted to reveal the
lan (drums) and Bruce Gainsford striking members of Augustana.
(guitar) are off to a good start Huddled in their own individual
with their latest album "You & areas on stage, the band opened
Others," I feel that they still have with "Wasteland" off their 2005
a long way to go.
album "Stars and Boulevards,"
As the stage cleared and a fresh and then continued the set with
coat of instruments and gear "Bullets" and "Hotel Roosevelt."
adorned the stage accordingly, Even though all the right notes
the chants of anticipation only came at all the right times, some-
thing was off for me in the world
of Augustana. Lacking virtually
any relationship with the audience, watching the 5 lanky guys
play, I couldn't help but get the
feeling that they were bored. As
the hour-plus long set droned on,
I was sadly disappointed as I felt
the showmanship of Augustana
was nothing more than a poor rendition of their two-year-old CD.

�A big splash at SeaWorld
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
Seaworld is one of the most popular
attractions in San Diego* This spring, Seaworld is offering a couple of new shows and
other exciting things to do. As a platinum
passport number, I visit Seaworld many
times a year. If there is something new
going on, I have to be there as soon as I can.
When I heard about the new spring shows, I
began to plan my next Seaworld trip.
Thefirstnew show I saw was "Sea Lions
Tonite." The preshow, featuring a janitor
named Biff, is almost as entertaining as
the actual show. In the preshow, we got to
watch Biff sing and dance to a lot of classic songs - from "Dance of the Sugar Plum
Fairies" to "You're the One That I Want"
from "Grease." In my book, there is almost
nothing more entertaining than watching
humans dance around ~ even unskillfully.
Wait. Especially if it is unskillfully. Biff did
not disappoint.
The actual show featured everyone's
favorite sea lions Clyde and Seymour and
the trainers doing spoofs on other Seaworld
shows and easily recognizable TV shows
such as "Survivor" and "American Idol."
Unlike the Sea Lions day show "Risky
Rescue," the night show prominently features Ottie, the adorable sea otter. At the
end of the show, one of Seaworld's walruses
spits water at the audience members sitting
in the front center rows. I have to admit,
there is a certain schadenfreude watching
other people get soaked by animals.
"Shamu Rocks" is the new killer while
night show. This 20-minute show features
Shamu doing a lot of fantastic behaviors.
Since killer whales are found in every
ocean in the world, the show features rock
songs from all over the world. Whereas the
daytime show "Believe" involves a lot of
narration and explanation, "Shamu Rocks"
is pure energy — one killer whale behavior after another. The four rotating LED
screens with the lighting almost steal the
show from Shamu. Don't go to this show if
you are epileptic.
As a Seaworld veteran, I recommend
walking out of Shamu Stadium about 30
seconds before the show actually ends,
especially if you are claustrophobic. The
stadium seats 5500 people, and if the show
is especially packed, you will spend a lot of
unnecessary time just trying to get out of
the stadium.
Another new feature this spring is the
Discoveries Gift Shop. In this shop, you
can construct an animal friend complete
with any type of outfit you could possibly
imagine. First, you pick an animal off the
wall. Next, the gift shop employee will fill
it with cotton, and then you can dress k up.
It is a tad on the expensive side, but 10%
of your entire purchase goes to Seaworld's
conservation fund.
Park visitors can also enjoy the Sky Blast
Fireworks Show at the end of the night.
This is a special treat, considering that fireworks were banned from Mission Bay last
year after an environmental group threatened to sue Seaworld for polluting the bay.
An unbiased third-party research group
cleared Seaworld when it concluded that the
fireworks did not pollute the bay.

Seaworld's Sky Tower Ride is still closed,
but according to park employee Melanie, it
should be reopening at the end of April.
The new Penguin Encounter is still under
construction. No reopening date has been
announced.
The new shows will be available to watch
weekends until May 25. After that, it will be
available every night until Labor Day weekend. Tickets to Seaworld are available in the
ASI office (Commons 207) for $45.50/adult
and $39/child, and for just $11 more, can be
upgraded to a Fun Card, which will allow
guests to come back any time during 2007.
Price and participation may vary.

V it's not a full on, you know, gory 'Saw'type movie" Wilson stated. He also
explained that while he felt a sense of
accomplishment in challenging himself to explore in the unfamiliar terrain
of the horrorflick,"in terms of returning to the genre, the truth is it's more
fun to work on comedies and it's easier
and I feel more at home doing them
and even dramas." Yet, Wilson leaves
the door open for a possible return to
the slasher scene: "If something were to
come along, I would definitely give it a
shot again."
The Dallas-born-and-raised actor
spoke about how he got into acting: "I

Somehow winter skipped Southern California. The endless summer sun has managed to tan the bodies of thousands all year,
and fellow Cougars have been fortunate
enough to sport thongs and shades for both
fall semester of2006 and spring semester of
2007. Therefore the beer of the week cannot
be labeled premature. Alaskan Summer Ale

Alaskan Brewing Company brews Alaskan
Summer Ale in Juneau, Alaska. The brewery

struggle than I thought it would be.
"Sometimes people say, 'Gosh, why don't you
do more stuff like "The Tenenbaums" or "Bottle
Rocket" as opposed to "Charlie's Angels" or
"Legally Blonde"?' I wish I were Sean Penn
and could just kind of do whatever great projects I wanted, but that's just not the reality of the
situation, but if anything, it's really helped me.
I didn't1 study acting. I didn't go to film school.
I've learned on every single movie I've done,
whether it was something like 'My Dog Skip' or
something kind of like 'The Tenenbaums.'"
"What I have to remind myself," Wilson continued, "sometimes if I ever get down about it or
start to think I wish I could get that kind of role or
I wish I was in 'The Departed' or something, that
I'm still relatively young at 35. The truth is if I get
more successful and more recognizable and am
able to do well in good movies, then I hope that
that kind of thing will come together; but I might
just have to write it myself."
So far, Wilson has in fact written at least two
screenplays, one of which has been made into
a film. '"Wendell Baker' ['The Wendell Baker
Story'] is something I wrote and directed with my
brother Andrew," Wilson elaborated, "and Owen
is [brother Owen Wilson] in it, and Eva Mendez
plays my girlfriend. It?s about a good-natured con
man who is trying to turn his life around and get
his girlfriend back with the help of these two old
men that he's try ing to help."
Aside from his screenwriting, Wilson said he
would also like to form a production company
with his brothers (Owen and Andrew Wilson),
but he doesn't want it to be a vanity project. He'd
like to discover new talent, "just kind of like what
James L . Brooks did for us, just kind of finding us
and seeing our short film and helping us along"
Wilson explained.
Until then, fans of Luke Wilson will have to be

the sea, climbed treacherous mountains, and
cave dived around the world.
The fine men and women of the brewery
have created an excellent summer ale delight,
The carton pictures a sea reflecting the bright
orange hues of the sunflankedby deep brown
mountains as a pack of killer whales play in
the ocean. The cardboard packaging contains
six 12 ounce glass bottles. The brown glass
bottles are capped with peculiar magenta
bottle caps.
Slight odors of malts, hops, and yeast radiate a pleasing aroma after the magenta cap
twists off the bottle. When the beer is poured
into the glass, it clearly exemplifies an amber
tint similar to a sunset across Palm Court at
CSUSM while displaying a one-inch thick
head. The ale has an alcohol by volume of
5.3 percent, and the brewery recommends
pairing the brew with Alaska crab, halibut,
or salad.
The summer ale smoothly enters the mouth.
During the climax of the swallow a quick and
punchy taste of malts, hops, and yeast penetrate the taste buds. The summer ale falls
into the dark abyss of the throat just as it has
entered, smooth and nonchalant. Gladly satisfied the stomach moans in fulfillment as the
empty glass clumsily settles on the wooden
surface,
Alaskan Summer Ale should be chilled
thoroughly before consumption. A pretest
was conducted when the summer ale was
only slightly chilled. The taste buds screamed
cruelty and threatened to sue.

Shirley Temple
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Ever since I was a little girl, Shirley
has been my best friend. Shirley Temple
that is. A deliciously sweet mocktail,
or kiddie cocktail as it is affectionately
named, the Shirley Temple is a classically old-fashioned and highly sophisticated drink.
Fondly named after the adorable curlytopped child actress, Shirley Temple, the
non-alcoholic beverage was created by a
bartender at the restaurant, Chasen's, in
Beverly Hills, Calif, during the 1930s.
Because Shirley Temple was so successful and so loved as a child actress,
she was invited to many a Hollywood
party and wined and dined with Hollywood's best—minus the wine, that is.
Temple was a regular guest at Chasen's
during the height of her career, and
because of her age the bartender fashioned the dazzling pink beverage to
accompany her amidst the surplus of
adult Holly wood stars.
Originally made with two parts
ginger ale, one part orange
juice and a splash of grenadine, it is highly common
for the orange juice to be omitted.
The more familiar recipe for a Shirley
Temple is 8 ounces of 7UP or lemonlime soda, 1 ounce grenadine syrup,
and at least two decorative Maraschino
cherries. Served over ice in a highball
glass, the popular drink can also be garnished with a fresh orange slice.
Though it may be ridiculed as an ageold kiddie drink, this fizzy cherry-flavored fabrication will never disappoint
and will gleefully please even the most
spoiled inner-child.
For those who dare to turn the lipsmacking mocktail into a cocktail, the
most scrumptious recipes are for a "Hard
Shirley Temple," and a "Dirty Shirley."
A "Hard Shirley Temple" consists of 1 !/2
ounces of Malibu Rum, 4 ounces of 7UP
and a splash of grenadine, and is served
in an old-fashioned glass over ice. A
"Dirty Shirley" is made up of 1 ounce
vodka, 5-6 ounces club soda or Sprite,
and an ounce of grenadine, served in a
highball glass on ice.
With so
many yummy options,
it
would be hard to go
wrong with good oY Shirley.

CSUSM holds
forum on VA Tech
BY AMANDA A NDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday April 19 in ACD
102 CSUSM hosted a forum honoring the Virginia Tech Tragedy
and to disciiss community concerns related to the issue. Present
at the forum were CSUSM students, faculty and staff and various community members. Each
attendee was given an orange and
maroon ribbon to wear in honor of
Virginia Tech victims. Beginning
at noon, those present for the start
of the forum honored the victims
of the Virginia Tech tragedy that
occurred on Monday, April 16,
with a few moments of silence.
President Karen S. Haynes opened
the forum by saying, "We're obviously all here today as a university community coming together
to share our grief, our concerns of
personal safety, and ask questions
as we go forward. . ." President
Haynes continued by saying, "I'm
sure many of yoù in our campus
community have personal connections to Virginia Tech, and so it
brings another dimension for you ;
to this conversation. I was asked
just now by the press, whether this
was our first or our last step in this
conversation; I'm sure that there
will be many steps, public, formal,
personal and private as we continue to think through the implications. One other public step that
we will take as a university is to
contribute to the Hokies Memorial
Fund that will help for counseling
and other services to the victims
and their families."
Assembled in the f ront of the
room was as a panel of campus
resources to offer information
and answer questions. The panel

On Wed. April 18, Students devoured
watermelon on the mezzanine plaza in the
name of the activism at the event hosted
by ASI, Take a Bite out of the Budget. Volunteers asked students to sign a standard
letter addressed t o Senator Jack Scott that
made three demands of California Legislature and Governor. The letter d rafted
by ASI read, "Fund the necessary $65
million for the CSU, freezing fees at the
2006-2007 levels. Fund the $24 million
Student Services Initiative. Restore the
$7 million on outreach." According to the
letter, "These actions will ensure that the
California State University remains accessible to all Californians."

Mart with the usual sized crowd. Today is
not any different than the rest to Marjorie
Mina. As she makes her rounds through
the store, she asks her clients how they are
doing and if they may need any assistance.
Her clients though, are not customers of
Wal-Mart; they are Wal-Mart employees
who have developmental disabilities. As a
job coach for Community Interface Services of Carlsbad, Mina works with eight
higher functioning adults. In Mina's case,
four out of eight of her clients work at WalMart and have overlapping hours so Mina
makes her rounds and works one on one
with her clients during their shifts.
As a job coach, Mina works under Community Interface's Supportive Employment program. Mina began working with
CIS after she graduated from CSUSM in
2004 as a Human Development major. In
the three years that she has been working
for CIS, Mina has learned that her clients
are excited to have a job. "We help them
be a part of the community," Mina said.
"If they take a bus to work, we teach them
what to do if they get lost, or what happens
when there's a disaster at work." When
Mina started working with her client Chris
Deddo, she learned that whenever Deddo
was faced with a question from a customer
to which he did not know the answer, he
would walk away. Mina would then interfere and show Deddo that he could ask
another associate for help. What Mina says
she enjoys the most is, "I can watch them
grow."
Job Coaches at CIS work with clients
who work at Pet Smart, Noah's Ark Learning Center, Wild Animal Park and Target
among other employers.
Two other major departments of CIS
include Supportive Living and Independent
Living.
In 1991 when Kim Larsen graduated
from CSUSM as a Business Major, she
was quickly promoted to associate director. Bruce Willbrant, another alumnus of
CSUSM, was not sure where he would live
after graduation when he found a classifieds ad for Community Interface's Supportive Living department. In the Supportive Living department, employees live with
a roommate who has a developmental disability. Willbrant thought, "I'd get paid and
I'd have a place to live."
Today Willbrant assists his clients as an
Independent Living Supervisor. Willbrant

should anything like that happen on campus.
Chief Hackenberg responded: "We have
plans in place. We have the ability to lock
down areas on campus from dispatch that
would help to isolate any kind of shooter
activity. We also have a system where we
can communicate through our classrooms
under times of duress that will also be helpful in letting people know exactly what the
situation is at the time." Dean Manship
also explained to the audience that there is
a system being finalized this very moment
that would allow the university to send
text messages to students in case of an oncampus emergency or life-threatening situation.
Another main point emphasized in the
forum was that of mental health care, and
Carlene Smith addressed that, ensuring
students that there are services available at
SHCS for students to take advantage of.
In hopes to reach the rest of the student
body, Hackenberg said, "We have a very
safe campus here; that's both by perception
and statistics bear that out, and we always
need to keep that in mind. We want students
to be very aware of any rumors, possibilities, possessions of a weapon on campus, or
anyone who might be planning these types
of things. We just want to encourage them
to report those things to the police department." For more information visit http://

included: Roy Lee (President of ASI), Dean
Manship (Emergency Management Coordinator), Regina Frasca (Director of Risk
Management and Safety), Carlene Smith (a
psychologist from SHCS), CSUSM Police
Chief Ronald Hackenberg, Dr. Pat Worden
(Vice President for Student Affairs),
CSUSM President Karen S. Haynes, and
Gregory Toya (Associate Dean of Students) and a few other representatives from
campus organizations.
The central focus was to first remember
and honor the Virginia Tech tragedy and
to second address the campus community about our own safety precautions in
place and how they are being practiced and
improved.
In addition to offering a safe environment for an open discussion to inquiring
students and staff, the forum also hosted a
guest speaker, an alumnus from Virginia
Tech affiliated with the San Diego chapter of Virginia Tech Alumni. She shared a
poignant testimony about her experience
at Virginia Tech and how the tragedy had
impacted her and her family's life, as her
younger brother currently attends Virginia
Tech.
After the guest speaker, Gregory Toya
opened up the floor for the audience to
ask questions. The first question asked
addressed what plans CSUSM has in place
"ft: '
^
plans his clients' budget and assists them in
finding and purchasing affordable housing.
When speaking of helping clients attain
jobs, Larsen said, "Our goal is to help them
become more independent. So we may start
out 100% there, at the orientation, interview, and then when they get the hang of it,
we'll start fading out."
Willbrant found his education at CSUSM
to be extremely helpful. "The thing about
San Marcos is that they have this unique
major, Human Development, which is ideal,
along with sociology and psychology."
Denise Sumlin a graduated as Liberal
Studies and Sociology double major with a
focus in Child Development.
As an Independent Living Counselor,
Sumlin says she helps maintain independence. An Independent Living Counselor
may assist clients in daily living such
accessing community resources or gaining
social skills. Sumlin added, "At school, it's
all about the books. It's test after test. Here,
it's nothing but hands on. It all comes back
to you. I thought, I will never use this again
in my life! But I am putting a lot of it to
good use. You do get a chance to use some
of that."
Christine Sheppard, Supported Employment Supervisor, finds that the employees at
CIS enjoy coming to work each day. Sheppard said, "They are highly dedicated to the
service recipients and they have the ability
to cooperate and work well with others."
Shannon Foster works as a Resource
Counselor. In 2000, she graduated from
CSUSM as a double major in Psychology
and Sociology. She spends her days in
the community with her clients. On Mondays, she works out with her clients at the
YMCA, and on certain Fridays, she takes
her clients to the mall for some shopping.
Foster assists her clients in their work and
social skills. "We learn what their dreams
are then we help to accomplish their goals,"
Foster said.
Sally Serrin, a current student of CSUSM
decided to work at CIS in order to fulfill an
internship requirement for her Sociology
course. Serrin says that she's been able to
help where it's needed. Since Serrin began
working at Community Interface, she has
gained experience with doing research for
the company, working with clients and
completing market audit reports among
other things. "Everybody here is so positive," Serrin said, "with a good attitude
about a lot of things."

and San Diego State University were amongst
the 201 universities in the competition.
CSUSM first entered the competition in 2005
and placed first in Recycling Rate with a rate of
44 percent. The Recycling Rate category compares the weight of recyclables to the weigh of
trash.
In 2006, CSUSM won the Grand Champion
award, placed second in the Per Capita Classic,
and finished first in the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category. Campuses that
fall into the Grand Champion category demonstrate an excellence in recycling and reducing waste throughout the entire competition.
The Per Capita Classic compares the amount of
recyclables to the number of students in a given
campus. The Targeted Material - Corrugated
Cardboard category compares the amount of
recycled corrugated cardboard to the number of
students in a given campus.
For the 2007 contest, CSUSM brought home
another first place victory in the Grand Champion category. CSUSM also placed second in
the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard
category.
A recycling culture throbs throughout
CSUSM's campus. Cougars consistently recycle spent products in easily accessible bins.
"I recycle every single thing and I make sure
it goes in the right recycle bin," said Liberal
Studies Major Senior DeLacy Brown. "I can be
standing anywhere and turn around and find a
recycling bin."
"It feels good that my school has won the
RecycleMania competition three times in a
row. It's really cool that our school which is in
southern California cares that much about the
environment," said Arts and Technology Major
Freshmen Jake Gossett.
"Recycling is about giving back to the community. Given the fact that Cal State San Marcos
has won three years in a row giving back to the
community has been a major priority to us,"
said Psychology Major Senior Logan Goolsby.
"It makes me glad to go to a school where
students take the extra time to use the blue bins
for recycling. It would feel weird not to recycle
because the bins are everywhere," said Liberal
Studies Major junior Jenny Bigpond.
The contestants for next year's competition will most likely grow in number. Previous
contenders will sharpen their recycling skills.
However, given the current trends, Cougars
have a bright f uture and foreseeable victory in
the RecycleMania 2008 competition.

Acker, and Kat Schulz made up the second
round. The competition was stiff, but Justin and
Sandy devoured their way through huge pieces
of watermelon and won the preliminary rounds.
Rossiter and Betancourt battled against each
other for the championship. Grunting and
growling, Rossiter ripped red chunks of watermelon from its green rind while Betancourt
trailed close behind. The crowd cheered in favor
of Betancourt, but Rossiter gulped his way to
the championship.
Students at the event also took part in signing
a large red poster, among others, that students
will send to Virginia Tech. The poster reads,
"Our deepest sympathies to Virginia Tech from
the students of Cal State San Marcos. Other
posters read, "CSUSM honors Virginia Tech."
Sara Gallegos stated, "The final event that they
will be at is the Wellness Fair on Tuesday the
24th in the Field House. A fter that we are going
to mail the posters to Virginia Tech."
Satterfield said, "My overall reaction was that
it was a success. We got exactly 100 signatures
for our budget letters, which is great! The contest and event was a huge success and I couldn't
have been happier with the result."

Down to Earth: A green day on a green campus
Tuesday; April 24, 2007
THE PRIDE
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
Sunday, April 22, was Earth
Day. On this special day designed
to promote environmental awareness, millions across the nation
joined in celebration of Mother
Earth. While some people
renewed their commitment to
reduce, recycle and reuse, others
raised money to f und other environmental causes.
Historically, it was the concern of Senator Gaylord Nelson,
a Democrat from Wisconsin that
sparked our country's environmental awareness. He founded
the first Earth Day in 1970 after
trying to bring environmental
awareness to the American population since 1962.
On envirolink.org, Nelson said,
"Earth Day worked because of
the spontaneous response at the
grassroots level. We had neither
the time nor resources to organize 20 million demonstrators
and the thousands of schools and
local communities that participated. That was the remarkable
thing about Earth Day. It organized itself."
America celebrates Earth Day
on April 22. This day is also
the birthday of Eddie Albert, a
former American television star
and environmental activist; it
also happens to be the birthday
of Julius Stirling Morton, the
founder of Arbor Day.
According to the U.S. government's web site on Earth Day
(earthday.gov), the United States
is much better off than it was in
1970. The air is cleaner, the loss
of wetlands is being reversed, and
other important environmental
legislation continues to improve
conditions.
Though things may be looking up, the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
recently reported with 100 percent confidence that global
warming is happening, and with
90 percent confidence that it is
because of human interference.
The IPCC is a panel of scientists from different countries and
works closely with the United
Nations. Since the report, the
United States Congress has been
discussing new environmental
legislation that would significantly cut down on the production of greenhouse gases.
Meanwhile, there are many
things that people can do to help
save our planet. The government's Earth Day site suggests
saving energy by making homes
more efficient, turning off appliances and lights when not in use,
purchasing "green power" for the
electricity of houses, insulating
homes, driving less, and replacing incandescent light bulbs with
Energy Star qualified compact
fluorescent light bulbs.
The site also suggests several ways to use less water. It
urges people to use WaterSense
labeled products and programs.
These products, " will p erform
well, help save money, and
encourage innovation in manufacturing." (See http://www.
e pa.gov/watersense/index.htm
for more information on WaterSense.) The site also says to not
to let water r un while shaving
or brushing teeth, to take short
showers instead of baths, to
scrape rather than rinse dishes
before loading into dishwasher,
and to only wash f ull loads of
dishes and laundry. It also recommends buying high efficient
plumbing fixtures, repairing
leaks (one leaky toilet can waste
as much as 200 gallons of water
every day), and watering lawns
and plants during the coolest
p art of the day.
Another way to celebrate
Earth is by using the three R's:
reduce, reuse and recycle. To
reduce, people should consider
buying permanent items instead
of disposables, buying products
with less packaging, and only
«J
buying what they need. Reusing
is as simple as repairing items
as much as possible, using cloth
napkins, and reusing boxes, purchasing and reusing refillable
pens and pencils, and donating
extra things to other people or
charities. Recycling is the third
component. Many things can be
recycled—paper, plastic, bottles,
cardboard, aluminum; but, other
things can and should be recycled
such as electronics, motor oil,
printer cartridges, and even compost food scraps, grass and other
yard clippings.
Cal State San Marcos is particularly earth conscious—our university recently won RecycleMania for the third year in a row by
recycling over 59% of all that we
throw away.
This season, be more environmentally conscious and make
environmental resolutions that
will save money and our earth.
As Captain Planet always says,
"The power is yours!"
Honoring CSUSM's semi-annual Yellow Ribbon Week
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Suicide is the 11th leading
cause of death annually in the
United States and is the 2nd
leading cause of death among
college-aged students (according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention).
The American- Association of
Suicidology states that about
every 16 minutes, a person in
the U.S. takes their own life,
and every 39 seconds a person
in the U.S. attempts to take
their own life. In 2004, the most
recent complete data statistics,
there were roughly 811,000 suicide attempts, and a total 32,439
suicides. With approximately
80 Americans taking their life
each day and nearly 1,500 more
Americans attempting to do so,
there has got to be an underlying cause for such high statistics, as well as something everyone can do to help. Fortunately
for CSUSM students, and the
greater San Diego community,
there is something that can be
done and a way to help. As it has
been on campus since the spring
of 2003, CSUSM has its very
own Yellow Ribbon Club, which
is connected with a larger organization: Light for Life.
Chris Sanchez, President of the
Yellow Ribbon Club on campus,
encourages students to not only
become more aware about suicide and its warning signs, but
also to participate in the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Week happening on campus April 30-May
2. With multiple events happen-
ing on campus for the upcoming
Yellow Ribbon Week, Sanchez
hopes to educate his peers about
the Yellow Ribbon Campaign,
the Light for Life Foundation
and the Yellow Ribbon Cards
that are available at the events
and online at www.yellowribbon.org.
To kick-off the approaching
Yellow Ribbon Week at CSUSM,
the Yellow Ribbon Club is hosting its first shoe drive. The shoe
drive aims to collect donated
shoes from students for a display
to appear in front ofLibrary Plaza
during Yellow Ribbon Week.
A fter the completion of Yellow
Ribbon Week, the donated shoes
will then be donated to a local
charity. The shoe drive will continue through Friday, April 27,
and the collections areas are at
the ASI Women's Center in FCB
102 and in front of Student Life
and Leadership in Craven 3400.
"We're going to be having
what's now become our semiannual yellow ribbon week
where we go out there and we
want to encourage students to
come see this video we show
called 'The Truth about Suicide.' 'The Truth about Suicide'
is a video put on by the America Foundation for Suicide, the
AFSP. And what they have done
is created this video that outlines
a lot of the symptoms of depression, suicide and they bring the
perspective from real life people
who have either attempted to
take their life, or who have had
friends who have. It is very emotional and I think it's very a ffective," said Sanchez.
The majority of the events
happening
during
Yellow
Ribbon Week will take place on
Monday, April 30, and Tuesday,
May 1, during University Hour
in the Library Plaza. There will
also be two screenings of "The
Truth about Suicide" Wednesday, May 2, one during University Hour in Markstein Hall 107
and the second at 5 p.m. in The
Clarke Field House.

mental health and suicide prevention, please visit these websites: www.yellowribbonsd.org,

�WHERE
IN THE
WORLD IS
A LISON A FFLECK?
BY ALISON AFFLECK
Pride Staff Writer
Paris did not earn the prestigious title
of "most visited place in the world" f or
nothing; it really is nothing short of
spectacular. I picked the less touristy
o ff season to visit, and although I did
not get to personally witness the typical
' Eiffel tower postcard' view, replete with
flowers and lavish greenery, I did get to
see the city covered in a f resh layer of
snow—a real bonus in my view.
It is hard to know where to begin in a
city such as Paris, but I suppose a good
starting point is a good hotel or hostel
location. I decided to stay on the l eft
bank of the Seine in a simple and oddly
decorated hotel that boasted a less than
five minute walk to the E iffel Tower.
Indeed the tiny hotel was - very inventively' called 'La Tour E iffel.' An added
bonu%to th% hotel was its proximity,, to
the métro, which in my opinion is something that a visitor to Paris should pick
as a priority when selecting a hotel; you
< will «pend a great* deal-of time cruising the odoriferous, bustling lines and it
really is a great way to get a feel for the
local life. Needless to say, it is advisable
to take advantage of the ' Paris Visite'
travel cards that o ffer unlimited use of
the métro and buses within a specified
t ime period.
D uring my stay in Paris, I did not
adhere to a rigid schedule; instead I
picked an area of interest and wandered
around seeing what grabbed my fancy.
Although I wanted to see all the usual
suspects, I planned to spend a great deal
of time in the local eateries and coffee
shops. Navigating around the l eft bank
in the gently falling snow, I visited
' L 'Hôtel des Invalides'—a huge construction orchestrated by Louis X IV t o house
wounded soldiers. Les Invalides i s v ery
easy to spot due to its unmistakable gold
dome. However, the luxury does not end
there—wait till you see Napoléon's massive red sarcophagus housed inside the
Eglise du Dôme and the amazing array
of weaponry housed in the Musée de
L'armée. A gentle stroll along the bank of
the lazily flowing river Seine later, and I
found myself exploring Notre Dame and
Sainte Chapelle in the Isle de la Cité;
the old historical heart of Paris. Notre
Dame is incredible with its huge domed
roof enveloping the wonderful scent that
all ancient buildings have: that of sweet
earth and centuries of candle burning.
The Cathedral façade itself is amazing,
as are the famous cheeky gargoyles that
line the panorama o fParis. Of course the
view requires a long walk up the many
flights of stairs, but it is well worth it.
As I crossed over the Seine via the
famous Pont Neuf ('New Bridge'), I was
tempted to pay a visit to the Louvre,
t hankfully I decided against it. To f ully
appreciate the cornucopia of a rtifacts
stashed within the Louvre, or the converted train station that is the Musée
d'Orsay, I definitely recommend devoting the better part of a day to really submerse oneself. Of course, in addition to
the more familiar, Paris has many other
exhibits for the discerning art lover to
wander around; indeed there is j ust so
much to see in the whole city. Climb
the Arc de Triomphe and gaze down the
sparkling Champs Elysées; For shopping, visit the b eautiful 'Art Nouveau'
Galleries Lafayette or take the métro to
the Abbesses stop and stroll the narrow
streets of Montmartre; here you will also
find the old white church Sacré Coeur,
the two remaining Moulins (windmills)
of Paris and of course the nearby red
light district of Pigali which contains the
famous Moulin Rouge—just be ready to
pay about $100 to see the show! I also
highly recommend a trip to the ancient
Catacombs, a fhuge underground collection of human bones, complete with philosophical French signposts. It is easily
reached f rom the Denfert-Rochereau
métro station. In all, a trip to Paris is
immensely satisfying in every regard,
f rom the macabre to the enlightening;
' The City of Light' truly has something
for everyone.

Padres update
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
The major league baseball schedule has
been a bit strange early on. Week three of
the Padres schedule saw them play consecutivetwo-game series, first in Chicago
t& face-the'Gubsv then b ackhome t omeet
the A rizona Diamondbacks. It is unusual
t o take on an opponent f or a two game
set. Series are generally three games and
sometimes four. The shortened series l eft
the Padres t o rack u p f requent flier miles
in a hurry. A fter leaving L.A., dropping
two of t hree to the Dodgers, the padres
flew to the windy city for two days and
back t o the west coast for two against the
D-backs. Then they flew to Coors field
in Colorado t o resume a more fashionable three-game series against the Rockies. The Padres have played eight days in
a row of a ten day stint without a break.
Since the Friday the 13th stomping at
Los Angeles the Friars have gone 4-3
to stand at 10 w ins and 7 losses through
April 20.
Saturday, April 14 was another gem
thrown by Padres ace right-hander Jake
Peavy. O r^e again Peavy was dealing,
giving u p only one r un on three hits in
seven innings. He improved h is record
to 5 -0 in h is last six outings against the
rival Dodgers. T he p erformance was
large since the Padres were blitzed 9-1
the night before. The o ffense was provided by B rian Giles, who homered and
drove in two, and new 3B Kevin Kouzriianoff who hit his first home r un as a
Padre in the f ourth i nning o ff Dodger
pitcher Jason Schmidt. The following
day Chavez Ravine proved a tough place
t o play as the Padres dropped the series
by losing. Left-hander Randy Wolf was
staked to t hree r uns early and went on
to beat Padres and Chris Young 9-3. The
Sunday night game was seen on ESPN
and highlighted by the 60th anniversary
of Jackie Robinson breaking t he color
barrier in MLB. Robinson played for the
Dodgers while they were still in Brooklyn and was elected t o the Hall of Fame
in 1962.
Traveling to Chicago t o play t he Cubs
for two games seemed simple enough.
The Padres were 7-0 against the Cubs
last year but spent huge dollars in the
f ree agent market to upgrade their squad.
In game one, Padres pitcher Clay Hensley continued h is struggles and the Friars
lost 12-4. The Cubs hit three home rims
while the Padres hit one; a ninth inning
t hree-run shot by Marcus Giles. In game
two, Greg Maddux took the hill in his
old stomping grounds, Maddux had twotours in Chicago pitching a total of 10
years at Wrigley Field. Maddux pitched
well, giving u p three r uns in five innings
and keeping the Padres in it. There was
not a r un scored by either team f rom the
fifth through the fourteenth when G eoff
Blum poked a double that scooted under
Cubs LF Jacque Jones (San Diego High)
glove allowing Khalil Greene to score
the game winning r un. Trevor H offman
closed the door on the series with his
third save of the season in the bottom of
the fourteenth.
The travel-weary Padres came home
for two against the Diamondbacks hoping
t o rest the bullpen. L efty David Wells
(Point Loma High) matched u p with last
year's Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb. The Padres had opportunities
early but failed to capitalize and Webb
went on to set a career high by striking
out 13. Wells pitched great, giving u p
t hree hits and a walk in seven innings.
A 2-2 lasted till the t welfth when the D backs scored three r uns o ff Mike Thompson. The pitching staff was taxed a fter
the two games and 26 innings sandwiching a flight f rom Chicago to San Diego.
Jake Peavy took the mound in game two
of the series and dominated with his arm
and his bat. Peavy hit a two r un triple in
the third inning to highlight seven early
Padres r uns and celebrate his third win of
the year, winning 11-6. SS Khalil Greene
and C Rob Bowen hit home r uns in the
seventh inning to extend the lead a fter
the Diamondbacks had battled back to
make it a two r un game.
A series in Colorado kicked off with
an overpowering performance by Chris
Young of the Padres. He simply mowed
through the Rockies lineup allowing one
r un on f our hits while fanning seven in
his seven innings of work. IB Adrian
Gonzalez continued to lead the Padres
offense by swatting a 447 foot bomb to
right center. The Padres won 11-1 in the
s eries opener.

�Jock Talk With Josh: NBA picks revisited
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
Back
on
October 31, five
scary looking
guys appeared
in this column.
Their
names
were Fernando
Brown,
Paul
Baimbridge, Mike Millburn,
Kyle Trembley, and Josh Sandoval. Their mission: to predict
what was going to happen in the
2006-2007 NBA season.
Now that the NBA season has
concluded, and the playoffs are
underway I figured this was the
time to look back on those predictions and talk a little bit about
the post-season.
The N ostradamus . award
goes t o Paul for predicting the
Toronto Raptors as the Most
Improved Team. W hen he sent
that pick to me I accused h im of
being d runk. I feel safe saying
that Paul is the only p erson in
the world who thought t he R aptors would b e good. The t eam
n orth of the border is t he No. 3
seed in the E astern C onference
f acing the No. 6 seeded New
Jersey Nets.
The Captain Obvious award
goes to Mike for predicting t he
New York Knicks as the Most
Disappointing
Team.
Even
though Mike was the only one of
u s to predict the 33-49 season, I
still have t o tease h im about the
ease of that pick.
The Take Back award goes to
Fernando for picking the Clippers
to go to the Western Conference
finals. The C lip Show finishes
two games back of the Golden
State Warriors for the final spot
in the playoffs.
The Most Likely to Happen
award also goes to Fernando,
since he did predict the Suns
to beat the Pistons in the NBA
Championship. The Pistons are
the No. 1 seed in the East and
the Suns are the No. 2 seed in the
West.
The Overzealous award goes
to me for picking the New Jersey
Nets over the Dallas Mavericks
in the NBA Championship. The
Nets have a lot of talent with
Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and
Richard Jefferson, but only finished 41-41 whereas the Mavericks had the best record in the
NBA this season at 67-15.
The Mike and Mike award goes
t o Mike for picking Cleveland
Cavaliers coach Mike Brown as
the N BA Coach of the Year. The
Cavaliers finished with the same
record of 50-32 that they had the
previous season, but they went
i rr kJB
mS
' Wh' 1
Write l lllï KMjyi
^
f rom 14 games back and the No.
4 seed to only three games back
and the No. 2 seed this season. I
still t hink Mike only picked Mike
because they share the same first
name.
The Should Happen But
Won't award will be split in half
with one half going to Paul and
one half going to me for picking Kobe Bryant as the regular
season MVP. Kobe's supporting cast, or lack there-of, fell
apart this season. Lamar Odom,
Luke Walton, Chris M ihm, and
Kwame Brown all missed time
due to injuries and Kobe still got
the Lakers into the playoffs.
The Joey Crawford Hater
award goes t o Kyle because Kyle
made a lot of his picks revolving
around the Spurs. NBA referee
Joey Crawford threw Duncan
out of a game towards the end of
the season because Duncan was
laughing on the bench. Crawford
then threatened D uncan to a fight.
NBA commissioner David Stern
suspended Crawford and r umor
is that Crawford's career may b e
over. Duncan, meanwhile is worried that Crawford's cronies in
the NBA ref society are going to
punish his Spurs team. Kyle had
the Spurs beating the Mavericks
in the Western Finals and then
the Heat in the N BA Championship and had D uncan w inning the
MVP.
Ifyou're keeping score at home,
the final award is: Kyle - 1, Paul
- 1.5, Me - 1.5, Fernando - 2,
Mike-2.
Now for my revised N BA playoff picks. The Suns will beat the
Pistons in the N BA Finals with
Steve Nash claiming MVP.

�CSUSM theater review: "The Bald Soprano"
T he bald
#•###
the beautiful
BY SOPHIE B RINK
Pride Staff Writer
"Don't t ry t o follow the plot," the ticket
seller warned m e with a smile. "There is
no plot." With these words echoing in my
mind, I settled in t o watch the last performance of " The Bald Soprano," presented
by the Visual and P erforming A rts Department here at Cal State San Marcos.
I confess I was predisposed t o be disappointed by t he play - not because I don't
have faith in t he VPA t o deliver the goods,
but because I am usually suspicious of
anything which calls itself an "anti-play
or parody." I o ften f ind such pieces less
humorous t han depressingly misanthropic.
"The Bald Soprano," written by Eugene
Ionesco, is an odd combination of wit and
misanthropy which, though it didn't make
me laugh out loud, amused me and pro-

vided some food for thought.
Eugene Ionesco was one of the fathers
of absurdist theater. Born in Romania in
1909, Ionesco grew u p in Paris. There he
was employed a s a teacher, translator and
proofreader, and it was only at the age of
39 that Ionesco tried h is hand at play writing. "The Bald Soprano," Ionesco's first
play, was p erformed in 1950. Ionesco's
experience learning English f rom a phrase
book provided the inspiration for the piece.
He found that dialogue within the phrase
book, when read as though one were reading a novel, was intriguing in its f ragmentary and absurd nature.
The meaning in "The Bald Soprano"
derives f rom the fact that the dialogue
itself has no meaning. The actors spout o ff
insipid remarks that are completely u nrelated to those of the person t o whom they
are speaking. Conversation, then, ceases
to connect the parties who are conversing,
a s they talk a lot but say little.
C areful consideration seemed t o have
b een t aken by t he cast and crew of t his
p erformance t o make t his play appear
applicable t o t oday's A merican society
while r etaining something of the era in
which it was w ritten. The result was a
cross-generational amalgamation which
lent itself b eautifully t o t he absurdity of
t he play. The set was spare, containing
bits of f urniture that could have easily
existed in 1950s France as in 2007 America, except for multiple television sets
showing images of President Bush and

Directed by Marcos Martinez, the cast of
"The Bald Soprano" was divided into two
- one first cast playing April 13, 14, and
20, the second playing April 12,19, and 21.
Cast two's Jessica Swan made a commendable t urn as the facetious Mrs. Smith, while
Omar Yanez b eautifully deadpanned as
her staid husband. The irrepressible Mrs.
M artin was cheekily p erformed by Lucia
D. Lopez, and Anthony Buonocore was
likable as her easily excitable husband.
Admirably, Shane Barksdaie managed
t o stay in character as t he ridiculous Fire
Chief without cracking a smile. Although
Ionesco's dialogue does nothing t o flesh
out the characters, as this is hardly a character-driven piece, the actors did a nice j ob
of bringing life t o their roles. Without the
spark of life in those who t ry desperately
t o communicate, I do not t hink Ionesco's
statement about the futility of h uman communication would have rang as t rue as it
did during the April 21 p erformance of
"The Bald Soprano."

Horror
BY RICHARD ESPERTI
Pride Staff Writer
"Vacancy" delivers a h eart throbbing
and s uspenseful t hrill ride capable of leaving audiences in fear of overnight stays
in small town motels. The f ilm's uncharacteristic choice of actors, no ditzy and
defenseless starlets which is so typical of
slasher-films, makes for a truly realistic
t errifying horror film.

San Diego brewed beers never cease
to amaze me. This week I picked
another local spot to check out.
For any San Diegan the Stone
Brewery is considered local,
but for u s Cougars the Stone
Brewery and World Bistro is
our neighbor. Not but five
minutes f rom our campus is
one of the most impressive
breweries I have been t o yet.
The list of beers is almost
endless, so you can imagine
how hard it was t o choose
one. But I did, and t his
week's Beer of the Week is
the Stone Smoked Porter.
A porter-type beer is much
darker then a pale ale or brew
of that sort. But it is not as
black as a stout beer. At the
brewery the color of this beer is
known as a dark mahogany. But it
j ust looked dark brown to me. It is
a smoked porter due to the amount of
peat-smoked specialty malt Stone uses.
Another interesting fact, which seems
to be a trend at the brewery, is that this
beer among others is 100% natural.
N o additives, no chemicals, no
preservatives, no pasteurization, and no adjuncts (which
is a fancy word for no rice or
corn).
I prepared myself for a very
bitter beer with a strong bite as it went down. But
it was much more subtle than the color led me to
believe. My first thought was that this brew is very
f ull bodied and rich but not bitter. During the
first couple of gulps, I had a hard time
distinguishing all of the flavors. But
as I got about half-way done with
the glass, I could continuously taste
chocolate and c offee flavors and a
distinct smoky flavor. Even with all
that flavor there w as no bitter taste
lingering on the back of my tongue.
This is a beer t hat I would recommend trying.
The Stone Brewery and World
Bistro do not j ust o ffer some of the
world's finest beers but also some
incredible food. I enjoyed their
famous Mac a nd Beer Cheese,
which was incredible. But on a
college budget it looks like I will
be eating o ff the dollar menu for the
rest of the week. I f you happen to
have a lot of extra cash and you want to
t ry some interesting food you can order
anything f rom mac and cheese to duck
tacos.
If you have not yet experienced Stone
Brewery and World Bistro I recommend it
especially i f consider your self a connoisseur
of beer. N ot only can you stimulate your palette
but you can get a tour of the facilities. Stonef
brewery is located at 1999 C itracado^

The fast approáching w arm
summer days will call for a
suitable beverage, one that will
lend itself well t o outdoor cocktail
parties, when t he heat of t he sun
meets the cool of the sea, when hues
of dusty rose and mouth-watering
orange paint the sky.
You could reach f or a margarita,
a daiquiri, blended smooth and
frosty, or a rosy sangría, sweet
and f ruity and refreshing. But
why not choose the b uzz less
traveled, engage your taste
buds in a tango with the sweet
stylings of the Orange Drop M artini?
The Orange Drop M artini is a glowing glass of p ure ambrosia. One sip of the soothing sweetness of t his beverage involves
grazing your lips over the sugared r im, touching your tongue
to the seemingly luminiferous liquid, and inhaling the scent of
orange groves - orange groves which happen t o flourish within
Willy Wonka's Chocolate F actor^ as t his is a fantasy-inducing
d rink, a little drop of C andyXahdfor the m ature audience that
remains young at heart.
To compose your own Omnge Drop M artini, ¡add 2 ounces
.of vanilla vodka, 3/4 ounce of orange liqueur - such as Grand

with a healthy dose of freshly squeezed orange juice. Shake,
strain, serve in a m artini glass and enjoy!

Lorena Barraza, CSUSM student,
daughter, sister, friend, community activist. According to North County Times,
fellow student, Lorena, was lost in a fatal
collision on April 21, 2007. Saturday
shortly after midnight, she was driving
with a male friend whose name was not
released, west on the 76 highway during
the recent rain storm. Barraza's Toyota

Early Learning
Center's future
questioned
BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM's Early Learning Center has
provided help for the moms and dads
on campus for nearly three years and in
the fall, the Early Learning Center will
move into a new facility, The Center
for Children and Families.
The ELC was made to fit the needs
of children and their parents who are
struggling to get along with college life
and a family. The ELC offers a place
for volunteer students to work and to
become close to the children and their
families. But now the bonds that have
been made between the employees
and children and their families might
be broken. Since the Early Learning
Center is moving into its new building,
the current working staff has not been
guaranteed a job at the Center for Children and Families.
The Center for Children and Families will open early 2007. The center
was funded on tax revenue that came
from tobacco smokers which was
approved by the First 5 Commission.
The Center for Children and Families
is licensed to serve 190 children from
infants to pre-kindergartners. The total
number of families served is expected
to be 300. Programs will focus on preparing children for success in many
areas of school including: parent education, language, speech and literacy
development.
Mosetta Rodrigues, an employee of
the ELC, said that the center will not
be run by ASI any longer, but it will
be run by the university instead. "The
ELC is separate from the organizations
on campus," Rodrigues said. "None of
the workers are students here with the
exception of three paid student assistants. The foundation will oversee the
running for children and families. The
ELC will no longer be existing; the
new place will be subsidized by funding and run by the Cal State."
Rodrigues added, "We are not guaranteed our jobs. We are given a proSee E.L.C., page 3

head on collision. Barraza and her passenger were pronounced dead on the scene.
According to Celia Martinez, Barraza held a teller position with Bank of
America, majored in accounting, and was,
"Deeply involved with the campus community. In 2005-2006 she held the position
of MEChA Vice President." Barraza was
involved with this year's MEChA High
School Conference, and in previous years
the Cesar E. Chavez Celebration, Raza
Recognition, and other fundraisers. Martinez stated, "She currently had plans with

the time willing to volunteer her time not
only with MEChA, but also with other
organizations on campus."
On Thurs. April 26, students held a candlelight vigil in her memory. The legacy
of Lorena's community and volunteer
work survives in the hearts of her friends
in CSUSM's MEChA. Angie Alvarado,
MEChA president, shared, "She made

nationally known speaker Rev. Dr.
Jamie Washington visited CSUSM
on Tues. April 24 and held a discussion with students titled, Who am
I? Isms, Identities and Inequities.
As a trainer and consultant on mul-
ticulturalism, Rev. Dr. Washington aided students in realizing the
dynamics of having multiple social
identities and why it is important to
be aware of those identities.
Just before Bridget Blanshan,
the Dean of Students, introduced
Rev. Dr. Washington, she said,

Pride Staff Writer
Associated Students Inc. is looking
to build another branch of services for
CSUSM students. By the fall of 2008, ASI
hopes to complete the construction of the
Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer
Intersex and Ally Center. The center is
still in its early stages, but with a recently
appointed committee, ASI will examine
the LGBTQIA centers on other campuses
and look to other models for CSUSM's
center.
Former ASI President, Roy Lee said,
"It has always been a goal for this university to have this center. Whether it be
University operated or ASI, the intent, to
my knowledge has always been there. As
ASI has grown, questions about the third
center being started, seeing as the Women's Center and Cross Cultural Center
have been established, the goal for this
center's construction and formation began.
The ASI BOD has voted unanimously
to research and strategically open the
LGBTQIA Center by 2008." .
ASI Arts and Sciences Representative,
Joshua Lovelace .and Bryce Manning,
President of LGBTA, have been appointed
as the co-chairs for the LGBTQIA Center
planning committee. "Our job is to create
a proposal for the ASI Board of Directors
to review and approve," Lovelace said.
"This coming Friday w6 are planning to
have a brainstorming session. All students
are welcome. We will discuss ideas for a
mission statement, programming etc. on
May 4 and go from there."

in your world and you will have
something that 84% of the rest of
the population does not have, and
that's just the United States, if we
go beyond the U. S., it's even a
smaller percentage, so I want you
to get clear of not only the privilege but of the responsibility you
have."
Rev. Dr. Washington asked
each student to partner up with
someone he or she did not know.
Each student then discussed in
partners, how they felt about
difference and real conversation about diversity. Rev. Dr.
Washington discussed the terms
authenticity and honesty and
expressed his hope for students
to engage in authentic conversation. "Because we all know that
we can be honest, without being
authentic," he said. When Rev.
Dr. Washington asked the crowd
what the students' hopes for the
evening were, one student said, "I
just hope that we don't have to all
come together in order for us to
open our eyes to say that we need
this. Why do we have to come
together? Why can't we just do
this on our own? Why do we have
to come together and say, 'Oh?
Yeah, huh.' We should already be
doing this."
During the next part of the evening, Rev. Dr. Washington asked
students to examine the dynamics
of his or her own existence.
"What does it mean when there's
a woman CEO or a woman vice
president where there's never been
a woman vice president and now
all the people who report to her
are men? What does that mean?
What are the dynamics that show
up when that's the difference?"
Rev. Dr. Washington asked.
When speaking on race, Rev.
Dr. Washington said, "How many
folks have ever had a conversation with somebody who didn't
want to have it? Does that need
for that conversation go away?
I have been saying in sessions,
we've been talking about talking about race for fifty years but
we've not had a real conversation
about it."
In groups of four, students sat in
chairs, knee to knee and engaged
in conversation with students they
had never met prior to the evening. Each student was given five
minutes to identify his or herself
through: race, religion, nationality, orientation, ability, gender,
class and age. Next, each student
answered questions stating what
category he or she was most conscious of and why. Students also
had to tell their peers of a time
when he or she treated others less
than- because of who they were.
Some students found that they
could relate to each other in more
than one way.
Once the session finished,
Rev. Dr. Washington divided the
room into two sections. Students
sat in rows of chairs, facing
each other. Rev. Dr. Washington
paced back and forth down the
middle and told students that if
they felt comfortable, he or she
could stand when he asked questions students found to be true to
him or her, but students were not
allowed to speak. In the act of
standing up, Rev. Dr. Washington said that by answering to the
questions asked, each student
would be a representative of a
particular group.
With some humor, Rev. Dr.
Washington shared with the students, "When they see me, they
see big black man. One word.
Bigblackman. They say, 'Oh! bigblackman!' They say, 'stay far
away.' Now I can't control any of
that. But it does matter that I know
that."
Rev. Dr. Washington proceeded, "If you are a first generation college student, please
stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said.
"Notice who's with you. Notice
who's not." At this, each student
who stood, scanned the room, and
each student who sat, looked up.
"If you ever feared for your safety
because of your gender please
stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said,
"Notice who's with you. Notice
who's not." Most of the women
in the room stood, and most men
sat looking up. Some questions
spurred more emotional responses
than others.
From the experience as a whole,
Freshman Bill Rhein said that
he would "not take anything for
granted anymore." Junior Angela
Stubbs, said, "I can't understand
why everyone couldn't attend and
students had to R.S.V.P? You only
find this stuff in college. It's symbolic of what our country feels
about it. People are talking about
it, but they're not really talking
about it."
The event was co-sponsored by
Advisor Academy and Student
Affairs Professional Development
Team and included representatives
of Student Development Services,
ASI and University Village.

fortune of being on a diverse
campus. We have the amazing
good fortune of being in a room
with folks who don't look like us,
who do look like us, who think
like us and who don't think like
us. Who come from cultures and
histories and families and communities that are like ours and
they're not like ours, and that's
an amazing world to be in. It's
the world that we're in, but often
we actually don't look at each
other and say, I see you, I hear
you, and let's learn from each
other. You all, are the future.
You're my hope. You're why I do
what I do. You have an amazing
ability to shape the future. And
to shape it in a way that sees difference, embraces difference,
and works together in a way that
we actually create communities
where we see and respect each
other." This, Blanshan said, was
the reason why each person gathered for an evening with Rev. Dr.
Jaime Washington.
Rev. Dr. Washington began the
evening's conversation by speaking on leadership. "Much of the
change that has happened around
the world has been done by folks
who look like you. Student leaders. On college campuses, and in
the world. No major social change
movement has ever happened
without your influence and your
power. I want you to recognize the
importance of your role as student
leaders today."
When Rev. Dr. Washington told
students that only 16% of citizens
in the United States have advanced
degrees, he said, "You will go out
for the community."
Like most 21 year old college
students, Lorena's Myspace is
filled with pictures, and personal
phrases describing herself. Currently, her Myspace page is filled
with postings by friends expressing loss, condolences, and grief.
Lorena had just celebrated her
21st birthday on April 6 .
Celia Martinez shared, "She
managed to fit in with everyone even though she was doing
her own thing and being herself.
She did not need to pretend to be
someone else to feel that shefitin.
She just did. Although she is gone,
those of us who knew her and
cared about her can still hear her
distinctive voice, laughter in the
air. It is still impossible to accept
that we will no longer see her walking towards us on campus, or that
we will no longer get those silly
text messages from her when she
thought about us. She reminded
all of us...about some important
lessons, to take time and appreciate friendships and to remind
people of how much they mean to
us because you never know when
it will be the last time you get to
give them a hug or tell them that
you love them. We were all given
the opportunity to see her one last
time the week before she left us,
yet none of us knew it would be
the last."
An account has been opened
for the family of Barraza at
Bank of America in Redhawk
in Temecula. For information

posal written up for an independent

The current staff gets first interviews and current kids automatically
taken."
Samara White, a current senior at
CSUSM majoring in Visual and Performing Arts, said that since working with the kids and families at the
ELC, she has created bonds with all of
them. "Professors send kids here and
are very pleased with what we have
going on. We really teach the kids,"
White said.
When the ELC moves, it will have
a great impact on the teachers who
work at the ELC because they have
gained close bonds with the children.
White added, "The teachers go out
of their way to be here and do things
for the kids. They [the directors in
charge] have not asked what we need
for the center. It's distressing that
they ignored us in the vision for the
new center. It's inexcusable. The kids
are being transferred up there. The
parents don't know anyone up there.
How can parents trust people they
don't know anything about with their
kids? It's a disappointment. You'd
think as a Cal State they would want
people experienced, who have been
here. Some teachers feel forgotten. As
a student I'm disappointed with how
they neglected staff here. Staff has
always had open dialogue with the
directors. They have never given us a
meeting with them or shown up at our
events."
A meeting regarding the ELC and
the future of its employees will take
place on Tues. May 1 at 5 p.m. at the
ELC.

hand. Kite enthusiasts stretch out the
string, mold it with glass, and sand it
down with sandpaper to smooth it out.
When the kites are soaring in the sky
they can reach up to three miles high.
There are tricks for dipping and wrapping around the opponents' kites in
hopes of snapping their string, retrieving their kite, and achieving ultimate
bragging rights. Kabir explained that
he could wear gloves for kite fighting, but that it ruins all the pleasurefull satisfaction from the sport. As
Kabir demonstrated the sharpness of
the string, he stated, "These cuts and
stitches are from this. Sometimes my
hand is bleeding all over. It [the string]
is sharp, but strong at the same time."
The kites are made by hand with thin
paper, and moist bamboo forms into
the desired shape. Kabir has been
participating in the sport since he was
about five years old, and he now owns
over 2000 kites.
Professors Sherri Douglass and
Pamela Strieker collaborated on the
event which was in synch with the
campus read and a GEL 101 class.
Funding was sponsored by the American Democracy Project and the First
Year program. Part of ADP's mission is to enhance civic engagement
within our campus community, and
in the larger community.
After the kite flying demonstration, a book discussion was held for
the campus read, "The Kite Runner,"
a story of a young kite fighter in
Afghanistan with immense cultural
insights. Professor Pamela Strieker
responded with her reaction of the
event, "I think the book discussion
went well and those present learned
a great deal about Afghanistan and
Afghani culture and they also learned
that in the end, we are all not so different from one another."
A few copies of the campus read are
still available. Contact either Professor
Pamela Strieker, at stricker@csusm.
edu or the Office of Community Service Learning located in the Faculty
Center in Kellogg Library.
From LGBTQIA, page 1
Felipe Robinson-Zanartu said, "The
committee will visit different centers
and see how they were structured so
we have an idea of what to look for
and what to model it as. That's exactly
how we modeled our Women's Center.
We didn't start by making stuff up."
Felipe said that the center could
potentially provide counseling services or offer a place for students to
hang out. "It goes with ASI's core
value of diversity, bringing in all
types of values, opinions, and serving
100 percent of students," RobinsonZanartu said.
Lee said, "I see the center being an
inclusive and educational venue where
students, any student, may come in.
In regard to programming, I think the
opportunity that lies ahead is the ability to educate our North County San
Diego community about these issues
and provide any support and ser, vices."
When speaking of the LBGTA club
on campus, Robinson-Zanartu said,
"They're a very big club on campus
that's done a lot of programming with
Student Life and Leadership. And
with the C3 and with ASI's goals of
fostering awareness and education
and student life. That's what we want
to with the LBGTQIA Center."
As of now, Robinson-Zanartu said,
"We do have a really tight budget.
We have no money allocated toward
the center." In order to fund the
center, ASI will first look outside
of CSUSM. To do so, ASI has hired
Rodger D'Andreas as an advisor for
the LGBTQIA Center. D'Andreas will
also serve as the advisor to the Women's Center. "He's going to look for all
the different funding possibilities,"
Robinson-Zanartu. "This will be via
grants and from supplemental funding
wherever we can find it. But because
he's so good at doing that, that's one of
the reasons we hired him. We're looking to have it funded from the outside.
Then once we have the budget situation under control, then we could have
money put into it."
With two centers on campus including the Women's Center, the Cross
Cultural Center, and the upcoming
LGBTQIA Center, ASI recognized
the need for representation among an
additional slew of clubs and organizations. At a recent board meeting, ASI's
Aamara Ysrael introduced a new position— a Social Justice Officer. "He or
she is in charge of creating a Multicultural Committee of all different
clubs, whether it be the German Club,
the French Club, MEChA, we have a
whole list of clubs and organizations,
to try to incorporate everyone into
ASI and have the multicultural perspective," Robinson-Zanartu said.
The position of the Social Justice
Officer is appointed by ASI President
Caitlin Gelrud and must be approved
by ASI's Board of Directors. The
position is currently open to any student who would be willing to serve
CSUSM as the Social Justice Officer.

Spanning the globe with the click of a mouse: Google Earth
Google Earth provides access
to anybody, anywhere - users are
able to take virtual tours around
the globe, search through multimedia content, search for local
places and "placemark" locations* to refer back to. The virtual tours not only allow users to
zoom into any place around the
world, but it also provides information pertaining to the chosen
location. The website claims to
provide a multitude of multimedia information "from the web
community and popular sources
like National Geographic"; users
are also provided with "Geographic Web and Featured Content layers as well as layers for
3D buildings, parks, schools,
hospitals, airports, shops and
more," states the website. For
those whom need practical local
information, the website also
provides driving directions and
makes it easy to "layer multiple
searches, save results to folders, and share placemarks with
others." Book marking or rather,
"placemarking" locations, permits users to save the places
they have visited along with customized additional information
added to the "placemark."
It is clear that Google Earth
provides a plethora of resources
to users around the globe, but
perhaps more importantly, it
exposes the devastation taking
place in Darfur. When the fiveletter word, "S-u-d-a-n", is typed
into the search bar, the website
displays a world of its own - far
from any location one would
"placemark" as a vacation spot.
The screen shows two types of
fire icons: one orange and red,
the other completely red. The
orange/red fire represents damaged villages and the completely
red fire represents destroyed vil-
lages. As the destroyed and damaged villages are homes to many,
those homes are represented by
light and dark blue icons labeling them as either "refugees" or
"internally displaced" individuals. Where one would be excited
to click on the multimedia icons
in any other given location,
these icons only unfold the tragedy that has befallen the men,
women and children of Darfur.
Videos and pictures give testimonies of the people who have
been afflicted by the genocide
sweeping across Sudan. Upon
reading testimonials, seeing pictures and watching movies - the
website provides a link to the
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), where
users can find out more information about the crisis in Darfur,
how to help, and "bear witness"
to the achingly horrible violence
that is occurring everyday. The
entire world is now able to witness mass genocide - however it
is up to users to seek the knowledge.

The Arthritis Foundation
invites the community to par-
ticipate in its? annual San Diego
Arthritis Walk. To be held at
Embarcadero Park North on
Sunday, May 20, the Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to
help the 46 million people with
doctor-diagnosed
arthritis.
Arthritis affects men, women,
and children of every race and
ethnic group and is America's
leading cause of disability.
Over 700,000 residents of San
Diego and Imperial Counties
live with arthritis, nearly 3,500
of them children. The Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to
honor and to help improve the
lives of friends, loved ones, and
community members afflicted
with the debilitating condition.
Funds generated by the event
will be used by the Arthritis
Foundation in its ongoing effort
to "help individuals take control of arthritis by providing
public health education; pursuing public policy and legisla-
tion; and conducting evidencebased programs to improve the
quality of life for those living
with arthritis," according to
the foundation's website (www.
arthritis.org).
Those who wish to participate in the San Diego Arthritis Walk can register online to
form or join a team. Once registered, participants can set up
their own personal Web page
and begin raising funds using
the online fundraising tools
provided by the foundation.
At the event, according to
the 2007 San Diego Arthritis
Walk homepage, participants
may choose from a three-mile
or one-mile walk route; write
an inspirational message on
the Wall of Heroes; wear a blue
"hero" hat if they have arthritis; and enjoy the f un, festivities and f ree health information. There is no fee to register,
but a participant must raise a
minimum of $100 in order to
receive an Arthritis Walk tshirt.
The event schedule is as follows:
May 18 @ 5 p.m.: Online registration closes.
May 20 @ 7 a.m. - 8:15 a.m.:

Getting a summer job
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Summer is fast approaching. During
summer, some Cougars go back to their
home dens, some stay here at CSUSM, and
some vacation around the world. Regardless of the destination, all Cougars need
money during the summer. One way to
ensure a supply of money consists of working during the summer.
All Cougars should be aware of the
basics when applying for a job. Despite the
current lack of seriousness in today's college culture, first appearances matter the
most. When applying for a job make sure
to groom neatly meaning no crazy hair
dyes, no overrun sideburns, and no just
woke up before coming to interview hairdos. Dress professionally even if the job of
interest is the local donut shop. Dressing
professionally consist of a dress shirt, tie,
dress shoes and slacks for male Cougars,
and non-revealing blouses, skirts or slacks,
and dress shoes for female Cougars. Keep
eye contact, shake hands firmly, and formally introduce yourself to all personnel.
CSUSM's Career Center website (www.
csusm.edu/careers) offers loads of information regarding summer jobs and internships. One summer job opportunity provided through a link on the website is a
job involving "campaigns to stop global
warming pollution and promote clean,
renewable energy alternatives." Another
links offers a job in painting residential
and commercial for the summer/The web-
site also offers aid in creating resumes and
an online interview practice program with
over 1,500 mock interview questions.
Another website offering advice for
job-hunting Cougars is Monster (www.
monster.com). Monster has over 75 million registered users. Monster users post
their resumes at no charge, allowing interested companies to view them. Interviews
are highly important when applying for a
job. In addition, Monster recommends further involvement in job hunting outside of
just posting a resume. Wendy S. Enelow,
a Monster Contributing Writer, explains,
"Writing powerful thank-you letters is
not just a formality. Thank-you letters are
marketing tools that can have tremendous
value in moving your candidacy forward
and positioning you above the competition." James Gonyea, another Monster
Contributing Writer, proclaims "Discover
the Work You Were Born to Do" in his
article on how tofinda job you will enjoy
by answering a set of 20 questions.
Career Builder (www.careerbuilder.
com) also provides information on jobs
and is similar to Monster. A quick search
in sales in San Marcos, CA resulted in 13
hits. The 13 job listings offered jobs from
selling furniture, toflowers,and even cell
phones. Like Monster, the website allows
users to upload resumes quickly and free.
Post Resume (www.postresume.com),
similar to Career Builder and Monster, also
allows the postirig of resumes at no charge.
The website suggests "Rewrite/update/rework your resume to reflect your current
career objectives. Remember that your resume
speaks volumes about
you, particularly if you're
looking to shift gears into
a new field in which you
have no directly applicable
experience. Be sure to note
your skills and capabilities, the personal qualifications that you will bring
to a job rather than industry-specific experience.
And, emphasize transferable skills such as leadership, flexibility, teamwork,
and problem-solving. Also,
be sure to highlight prior
measurable/demonstrable
accomplishments."
The upcoming 2007 San
Diego County Fair "Salute
to Heroes" (www.sdfair.
com) begins June 8th and
ends July 4th. The event
creates numerous opportunities for employment. Such
job opportunities include
shuttle drivers, stagehands,
ticket sellers, and even security positions.
The excitement and proximity of the San
Diego County Fair smells like a perfect
catch for any Cougar.
If finding a job seems traumatic and
stressful, take into account a real experience from a fellow Cougar. "I was once
hired because I looked preppy and had
no friends. I rolled in wearing flip-flops,
a Volcom short sleeve t-shirt, board shorts
and sunglasses. My boss felt sorry for me
and hired me," said Business Administration Major Kyle McClellan.
So, as the few weeks left of school come
to a close, begin the job search now to
ensure afinanciallyburden free summer.

Website of the Week:
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
reaches those young people who need help
the m ost"
Halfofus.com aims to join, support
and inform college students about mental
health issues, while also allowing students
to guide the direction of the site with their
personal testimonials and feedback. The
website offers students exclusivity by linking students to their own school's specific
programs on mental health and depression, and provides students with national
resources as well. Topics addressed on the
site include: depression, suicide, bipolar
disease, eating disorders, anxiety, stress,
alcohol use and drugs.
One particular service offered through
the site is an anonymous screening tool
for students to help them understand, cope
with and take further action should they
feel they have an emotional disorder. Halfofus.com is a "safe space" that provides
students with the opportunity to explore
their feelings and emotions through useful
resources, and presenting advice on how
to reach out to a friend, as well as ways to
combat depression.
. Featured tools on the website include: an
action center to facilitate students who wish
to get more involved in mental health awareness, with information on how to start an
"Active Minds student advocacy chapter"
on their campus; an anonymous self-evaluation screening tool that was developed
by the Medical Center of Duke University,
giving students individualized feedback;
"Through Half of Us, mtvU and The Jed
Foundation want to initiate a public dialogue to raise awareness about the prevalence of mental health issues on campus
and connect students to the appropriate
resources to get help," states halfofus.
com.
Halfofus.com is just one of the many
resources available through The Jed Foundation (an organization leading the nation
in suicide prevention and helping to educate college students about mental health
and mental health services) and ULifeline
(a program run by The Jed Foundation).
Launched in November of 2006, the Jed
Foundation paired with mtvU to create
a campaign to heighten awareness about
mental health issues and their prevalence
on college campuses across the nation by
linking students to the right resources.
In a press announcement released by
mtvU, Half Of Us "represents the reality that nearly half of all college students
have felt so depressed they could not function. Suicide is the second leading cause
of death among college students, and the
number one cause of suicide is depression. In an effort to reverse these trends,
Half of Us will initiate a public dialogue
that begins to de-stigmatize mental health,
encourages more young people to seek out
ways to improve their state of mind, and

Pride Staff Writer
Marrakesh, with its stronger African
vibration than other Moroccan cities, is a
thorough assault on the senses in every
way. As one of the most visited places in
Morocco, it comes as no surprise that it
offers a real sumptuous shopping experience; of course you are expected to haggle
hard! In a city full of talented artists of
llVilV
«MUÍ
many disciplines— especially leather
working, wood and metals, there is no
shortage of venders to try out your negotiating skills and it really is a fun thing to
do. Marrakesh is also known as the "Red
City," possibly due to the abundance of
its ochre colored buildings, and it was the
capital of Morocco off and on for a few
hundred years.
The first thing that a visitor to the place
will notice when disembarking the plane,
l^il^i
is the stunning snow-capped High Atlas
Mountains that surround the area; however, the awe does not end there. Beyond
the city walls, resides such an unfamiliar
collision of smells, sights and noise that
it can be tricky to maintain your sense of
direction, not good when you are trying
to find your accommodations! Donkeys
and carts are a major form of transportation, as are diesel powered mini motorbikes, so it is inevitable that extremely
potent fumes hit the nose as you meander
through the narrow streets. Venders in
tiny shops line the streets as do countless
motorbike repair shops and you really
have to be careful in navigating your way
around; people and animals are everywhere and there seems to be no rules with
regard to slaloming a motorbike at high
speed through the throngs of walkers.*
Most streets seem to lead to the famous
Djemaa el-Fna, a huge central square full
of activity. Here you will find performers of every kind, from snake charmers
to story tellers/Animals are everywhere
too, donkeys and mules tirelessly haul
THE PRIDE
their cargo and performing monkeys hop
around their owners shoulders. Naturally
pick pockets abound and you may encounter a few solicitations for henna hand
painting or merchandise, so it is important that you do not become too mesmerized by the fantastical scenes around
you. Also overlooking the hive of activity is the ancient 253-ft tall Prayer tower
or minaret, of the Koutoubia mosque, a.
beautiful structure complete with huge
stork nests at the top. Five times a day
there is a call to prayer from the minaret
which adds to the feeling of wonderment
of the place; there really is nothing more
beautiful than hearing the first cali just
before dawn.
Linked to the Djemaa el-Fna is the
extensive network of the souqs an
absolute must to explore. Everything
you could possibly imagine is sold here,
including things you would probably not
like to imagine, such as leopard skins that
you will find in some of the apothecary
stalls. However, I believe that it is important to keep an open mind and, above
all, be respectful to the Moroccans right
to practice what they believe in, you are
after all a visitor in their culture.
Aside from shopping, I really recommend soaking in other things. Take in
the museums and the gorgeous Yves St.
Laurent gardens. Wonder at the Moroccan Saadian architecture amidst the Saadian Dynasty tombs and, for the ultimate
in relaxation, pay a visit to one of the
numerous steam baths or Hammans for
an olive soap scrub down or simply sit
and people watch whilst sipping delicious
mint tea at a café in the Djemaa el-Fna.
In all, Marrakesh will provide memories
of a timeless place and you will no doubt
be keen to return, it really can be a wonderful immersion into an enchanting and
exhilarating culture.

Jock Talk With Josh: Yankees vs Rod Sox
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
I am so sick
of the Boston
Red Sox and
New York Yankees. The sports
world loves this
rivalry, but I am
completely over
it. The last straw for me came last
Thursday.
I was sitting in my COMM 440
class with, Dr. Bud Morris. Every
week at that time I'm usually struggling tofinda topic to write about,
and last week was no different. My
next step at that point is to ask my
buddy Mike Millburn for a topic.
I respect his suggestions since he's
also in the sports business, but I
could tell it was a slow sports news
day when he told me the biggest
story was about a sock.
That's right, a sock. Not just
a regular white gym sock, but
a bloody sock that was worn
in 2004. The significance of a
bloody sock, you ask? It was worn
by Curt Schilling in the 2004
playoffs when the Red Sox came
from behind from a three games
to nothing deficit against the Yankees before going on to win the
World Series.
Schilling showed great courage
at the time for pitching with a torn
tendon in his ankle. The blood on
the sock came from his sutured
ankle that the training staff did up
for him twice during the playoffs.
The reason this * sock has
emerged almost three years later?
Because Gary Thorne, a baseball
announcer said that one of Schilling's teammates told him that it
was red paint, and not blood on
the sock.
That was the lead story on the
3PM Sportscenter last Thursday.
ESPN spent seven minutes discussing a red sock from the Red
Sox.
What may be most disturbing is
that red sock sits in Cooperstown
at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
When the museum closes at night
I can imagine all the baseball
head plaques wondering where
3
snnam..Mrm

5
the nasty smell is coming from. I
can imagine the plaques of Reggie
Jackson and Lou Gehrig looking
at one another and accusing Babe
Ruth as the source of the smell.
Then Ted Williams' plaque jumping in and explaining that there's
a bloody sock from the Red Sox
World Series Championship.
I can imagine all of that because
the sports world would like you
to believe that even the Red Sox
and Yanked Hall of Fame plaques
don't like each other.
Seriously, though. The Red
Sox and Yankees played a three
game series two weeks ago and all
three were on national telecasts,
ESPN broadcasted the Friday and
Sunday night games while Fox

T he o bjective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with
the c orrect numbers. There are three r ules:

broadcasted the Saturday game.
The season is only a month old
and both teams have already made
more appearances on national
television than most other teams
will have all season long.
Back to the red sock. Thorne
actually held an impromptu news
conference to discuss the "controversy" once Mirabelli denied ever
saying that it was paint, and not
blood.
A press conference over a
bloody sock. I think that may be
a sign of the Apocalypse or hopefully the downfall of this played

Martin Storrow a N orth County treat
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
With a wave of his guitar and a
sparkle in his eyes, local singer/
songwriter Martin Storrow
wooed the buzzing gathering at
the "It's A Grind Coffee House"
last Wednesday night. A native to
North County and a UCSD graduate, Martin Storrow preaches a
peachy blend of acoustic folk and
poppy jams.
"I think in college when everyone is so focused on the outcome, so focused on the piece
of paper, the result, the grade—
[it's important to] just find a fulfillment in the process. Find the
fulfillment in every step along
the way, and don't worry too
much about the outcome," said
Storrow. "If you really want it,
it will happen," he continued,
addressing the challenges of following one's dream and career
aspirations.
After a long haul oftouring last
winter - "150 days on the road,"
claimed Storrow - he's back in
town for a bout of relaxation and
regeneration to finish his first
^olo full-length album with producers Peter Spragu6 and Daniel
Diaz. "It's been
really nice to
just be home,"
said Storrow,
"and I think it
also helps the art
too. Being homfe
and connecting with these
old relationships
that I've had
and being in this
emotional space
of
familiarity—that really
breeds good art,
I think."
Anticipated to
be released later
this summer,
some of the
highlights awaiting listeners
on the yet to
be named new
album are tracks
like "Angel of
the Moment,"
"Midnight Daydreams," and
"Ugly." "Everything from songs
I wrote six years ago, to songs
that I wrote yesterday are going
to be on this album," said Storrow. "The songs stem from the
same place, which is a very
honest place."
One of the featured tracks
that .will be on the new album
is "Angel of the Moment." "For
me," explained Storrow, "that
song is about all of us in our
own capacity
to be someone's
angel, which I
think is such
a
powerful
thought, so I'm
excited about
that song and
what it says."
Formerly the
frontmanforThe
Storrow Band,
Martin Storrow
is no stranger
to the local or
even national
music scene
and his music
is as honest and
captivating as
ever. "I'm sure
you've listened
to a song and
thought: 'that
song is about
me, that's what
I wanted to say,
and this person
said it.' As a [song-writer] when
I hear that, there's a part [of me]
that's like 'oh crap, what now?'
[Thinking] that now I can't write
that song because someone else
already said it," said Storrow.
"But to be able to do that—to
be able to connect—it's not just
a destination as much as it is a
process, and that's where my fulfillment comes from, from that
process...there's no point that
I'll reach where I'll say 'I'm done
being a song-writer.'"
Admitting to having played
over 350 shows within the past
few years on the road, when asked
how he keeps his performances
fresh and unique, he replied, "I
think the trick to keeping it fresh
is a) remembering exactly why I
do this, and b) playing stuff that I
like and enjoying myself."
Entertaining a cozy and intimate listening experience, Martin
Storrow's "show slash workshop"
is fun and memorable, complete
with Storrow's special touch of
humor and charm.
Catch Martin Storrow at "It's
a Grind Coffee House" off of
Rancho Sante Fe in San Marcos,
every Tuesday and Wednesday at
6:30 p.m. through May.

THE PRIDE
Spider-Man
¡ gilt i » i
If
w w w w »V
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
. JMthJhe^anticipationof M ay-4-nearing,
audiences across the world are getting
tickets for the showing of "Spider-Man 3"
in the hopes of seeing Spider-Man (Tobey
Maguire) square off against the New
Goblin (James Franco), Venom (Topher
Grace) and the Sandman (Thomas Haden
Church) in what may be considered the
best "Spider-Man" yet.
At the start of the film, Peter Parker
(Maguire) is at the top of his class in school
while, Spider-Man is receiving approval
from the entire city of New York. Mary
sour concoction is also the perfect decoration for any well-manicured hand on
any given occasion.
This juicy spin on a classic martini
could have originated from one of three
scenarios in my opinion; the first of
which is in the spirit of the evil queen
in Snow White, who, as the fairly tale
says, tricked Snow White into eating
the poisoned apple. The second of
which is the telltale biblical story of the
temptation of the Eve with apple in the
Garden of Eden. Perhaps the creator of
the Appletini felt tempted to mess with
a good thing (the original martmi).
Although none of these possibilities a?e
very likely, this sinful indulgence is a
sugary twist on the timeless martini,
bound to delight and satisfy.
Jane Watson (Kristen Dunst) is living her
childhood dream and is a star of a Broadway show, while Harry Osborn (Franco) is
stilWooking to avenge his father's death.
With everything going so well, it only
seems right that outside forces would begin
to play a role and bring in a lot of drama.
When a strange black creature from out of
this world takes over the Spider-Man suit,
Peter Parker becomes a whole new character. At the same time, a new freelance
photographer, Eddie Brock, (Grace) competes with Peter Parker in taking SpiderMan's photo. With the addition of Grace,
the audience receives a well-balanced
cast.
Photo by Amanda Andreen I The Pride
.With many subtle variations of the
newly found classic floating around,
my . favorite version of the smashingly
appetizing Appletini is as follows:
1 1/2 ounce Smirnoff Green Apple
Twist Vodka
1 ounce DeKuyper Sour Apple
Pucker schnapps
Pour all ingredients into a shaker. Fill
with ice. Shake well and then pour the
mix into a martini glass and garnish with
an apple slice or a maraschino cherry,
Ah yes,: the Appletini, one of my
favorites and soon to be yoursi; Johnny
Appleseed sure had the right idea; it is
just too bad it took the rest of us so long
to catch on.
As things begin to settle down in the
movie and the storylines are slowly
immerging, Maguire and Franco are able
to have fim with4heif-eharaeters-by over
emphasizing their emotions, which brings
humor to the film.
With things slowly going back to normal,
the audience gets sucked into the heavy
dosages of drama instead of the action
packed movie viewers would expect.
With the longevity of the drama, the
film's humor passes the time as well as
the scattered battle scenes throughout the
film.
The best parts of thisfilmare the action
scenes - from the spectacular animation
Movie
Review

of Spider-Man saving the innocent, to
Peter dancing up a storm, to the very well
choreographed battles between the good
""guys and the not-so-evil bad guys.
The action scenes allow the audience to
forget that the story moves slowly. With
some amazing one-on-one battles, the
finale is what makes the movie what it is,
another blockbuster smash.
With all the story lines coming to a
close, the movie tries to pull tears from the
audience as the emotional rollercoaster of
Spider-Man and friends comes to an end.
And this very well could be thefinalchapter of Peter Parker and Spider-Man.

AMANDA ANDREÌIN "
In the fall of 2006 when two
students enrolled in a women's
studies course titled "Women
in Performance," a course that
focused on the body image
and the female form, Professor, Karen Schaffman, assigned
her students an assignment that
would propel Jennifer Schouwe
and Alexis Macias to create a
campus organization named,
IntHERnational.
IntHERnational will become
a part of CSUSM next fall, and
it will aim to educate students in
global issues surrounding the violations of women's human rights.
IntHERnational will have a set
focus on women without voices
and women who are suppressed,
abused, murdered or forgotten.
Professor Schaffman asked to
her class to create a zine. Macias
and Schouwe created a zine titled
IntHERnational with Barbara
Whalen, Randi Leyva and Celeste
Lampro. "The assignment was
designed to artfully address any
women's issues or a topic concerning women," Schouwe and
Macias said. The zine focused
on women from Afghanistan,
Guatemala, Kenya, India and the
United States. Each section of
the zine informs its readers on
women of various regions. The

IntHERnational's table during CSUSM's International Fair
Schouwe and Macias both
agree that CSUSM students
actively participate in the community and in the academic setting to gain knowledge and grow.
"The importance of having a
club like IntHERnational that
raises awareness and discussion
about women's issues is clear,"
Schouwe and Macias said. "As
IntHERnational relates to greater
San Diego, establishing a grassroots connection on campus
breeds a more lasting and honest
beginning for larger community
connections."
Schouwe and Macias plan
on hosting events including art
exhibits and performances by
dance and acting groups. In order
to help local women and their
families, Schouwe and Macias
also plan on volunteering with
CSUSM students for local nonprofit organizations. "In all honesty, we encourage students, faculty, and any community member
to offer suggestions or input as to
how we can be most effective as
an organization in encouraging
people to become more involved
in our cause," said Schouwe and
Macias.

Afghanistan section speaks of
girls as young as 11 or 12 who
have been given away in marriage to repay a debt. The zine
also offers information for readers to donate to RAWA, the oldest
socio-political organization of
Afghan women. The zine also
provides information on female
genital mutilation in the Maasai
community of Kenya. The zine
describes how the 5,000 year old
practice of removing the entire
clitoris and labia is unwanted
among women but the practice
is the only means of acceptance
of women in the community. The
zine also features information on
women of Guatemala, India and
the United States.
Following the zine project, each
student took part in a performance
that included a vigil and an art
interpretation of each zine. After
the performance, Schouwe and
Macias said, "Karen offered her
enthusiasm in suggesting we conduct our performance for the entire
school. Alexis and I then thought
more about the impact our message
would have, but on a more lasting
level, such as starting a club."

year. Representatives from a variety
of departments, student organizations,
and clubs were in attendance, including representatives of the Women's
Studies Department, PAN, LGBTA,
Triota, and members of ASI. "Without allies like yourselves, none of
this would have been possible," said
Lissa Lim, co-founder of the Women's

The event celebrated the success of

growing ethnic groups at CSUSM. The
growing number of students who want an
Asian-American course is on the rise.
Graduate student Patricia Guevana
said to the 60 students and faculty
in attendance, "We have studies for
women; there are Latino studies and
African-American studies, but we do
not have a voice for Asian-Americans." Freshman Bryant Vuong said,
"Mostly what we know of our culture
is from our parents."
The meeting brought up issues of
language and how this generation of
Asian-American students feels that
they have lost or are losing their language as well as their culture.
Guevana said, "Not many of you
have had an opportunity to take an
Asian-American class, and if you

Outreach and Lissa Lim, Operations
Coordinator.
"It seems unfair that the four of us get
credit when really it's been a team effort.
We have come far this year. Look at us.
This is our family. We are here together.
We are here because we all beliçve in
the same things," Lim said.
Cheyenne Barr gave a solo a-cappella performance of a tune that she
wrote to honor several volunteers.
The ditty was a spin on the Inez and
Charlie Foxx version of "Mockingbird." Barr asked guests to stand as
their names popped up in the lyrics.
The Women's Center distributed
25 certificates of appreciation to student leaders of CSUSM, along with
earth toned t-shirts decorated with
the image of the growing tree displaying many of the participant's names.
About sixty-five invitations were sent
out for the ceremony.
A slide show featuring volunteers
brought the event to a close on a cheerful note and left participants laughing
away at all the good memories they had
shared while working together. Out
of all the events the Women's Center
hosted in the past year, Hoodenpyle
said, "The most popular event of the
semester was the singer, songwriter
Ellis, who is a lesbian performer."
Following the slide show, guests
were asked to check underneath their
seats for a purple ribbon, and winners
possessing the ribbons received bonsai
trees for a prize.
Lim closed her speech with a quote,
"Margaret Mead was right when she
said, 'Never doubt that a small group
of thoughtful, committed citizens can
change the world. Indeed that's the
only thing that ever has.'"
have, it has been somewhere else."
With high hopes of gaining support
of fellow students, Guevana and fellow
students passed a petition around the
room to gain signatures in hopes of
imposing the importance of courses
on Asian-American culture on President Karen Haynes and the rest of the
CSUSM community.
But having courses placed on the
agenda is only a starting point. Students also hope to give future students
an opportunity to minor in AsianAmerican studies, and potentially
even major in it.
But the support of fellow classmates might not be enough to gain
these courses. Liberal Studies professor Robert Yamashita said, "We can
fill the schedule with as many courses
as possible, but we cannot teach AsianAmerican courses if the students don't
enroll for them."
The professors emphasized the slow
procedure that would take place to
gain courses and the responsibility of
those students who want to register for
the classes.
"It would be a huge step back for all
of us if we were to make an approach
at adding courses for Asian-American
studies and then have three or four
students register for the class. They
would then take that course off the
schedule and add another course at
the time slot and we it would be heavy
blow to what we are trying to accomplish today," Yamashita said.
With high hopes of achieving a
course for next fall, the staff members
in attendance were able to get a better
of picture of how many students are
interested in taking a course on AsianAmerican studies.
to improve their overall standing.
Paintball is ranked the 3rd most
popular extreme sport in the United
States with over 10 million participants, according to the Sporting
Goods Manufacturers Association. In
the past 20 years, paintball has blossomed from a 'war game' played in
the woods to a legitimized tournament

as well as the development of campus life. This is a
wonderful place to work, with a campus community

Student loans 101: Things to
know before taking out a loan
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Fee hikes seem to be a current trend in the California
State University system. With
each proceeding year Cougars
paw out more and more money
each semester as not only
tuition increases but other items
such as parking costs increase.
Unfortunately, the inflation
within the cost of pursuing a
higher education does not equal
the amount of money Cougars
earn. Thus, student loans offer
a much-needed band-Aid for the
situation.
The majority of student loans
start with Free Application for
Federal Student Aid. FAFSA
applications are due before July
2. FAFSA determines eligibility for student loans. Student
loans are subsidized and/or
unsubsidized. Subsidized loans
allow students to take out loans
from the federal government
without having to pay interest or
make payments while attending
school at least part-time. Subsidized loans remain interest
free and payment free until the
student has not attended school
at least part-time status within
a six-month period. Unsubsidized loans acquire interest
and require the student to make
monthly payments while attending school.
CSUSM requires all first time
student loan students to complete two items. First, students
must complete Loan Entrance
Counseling through the internet. Then students must electronically sign a loan promissory note.
Aside from the FAFSA, there
are other student loan oppor-

tunities. The Federal Direct
Parent Loan for Undergraduate
Students PLUS allows parents
of dependent-students to take
out student loans. Parents qualify for the loan based on a credit
check. A monthly payment of
at least 50 dollars is required
within 60 days of disbursement.
The loan amount is due within
ten years.
The Federal Perkins Loan
o ffers a loan primarily for
teaching credential students.
The loan focuses on certain
groups due to limited funding.
The loan requires outstanding financial need. Similar to
a subsidized l6an, payments
are required 9 months a fter the
student has stopped attending
school with at least part-time
status. As long as the student
remains in school part-time,
the loan remains interest f ree
as well.
The Cal State San Marcos
Spicer loan allows students
to take out up to $4,000 in
student loans. Also similar
to a subsidized loan, students
make payments a fter they have
stopped attending school parttime within six months. The
Director of Financial Aid and
Scholarships determines eligibility.
The Cal State San Marcos
Emergency Loan quickly allows
students to take out $500. The
loan is interest free. The loan
amount is also due at the end of
the semester. The loan becomes
available two days after processing.

WHERE
I N THE
WORLD IS
ALISON AFFLECK?
BY ALISON AFFLECK
Pride Staff Writer
Scotland is a country often passed oyer
in lieu of its cousin, Ireland. But for the
life of me I cannot understand why. It is a
land of hauntingly beautiful landscapes,
friendly peoples and amazing history. Vast
mountain ranges scrape the ceiling of billowing clouds and the sparkling Lochs and
rivers burst with life. Indeed, there is such
an amazing expanse of unspoiled countryside just waiting to be explored. Scotland
holds a host of relics and secrets and it is
not uncommon for a visitor to stumble
upon such forgotten and hidden treasures,
be it the ruins of a castle, ancient Celtic
carvings or rare spectacular wildlife- such
as the secretive sea otter or pine martin.
Scotland is a land of contradiction - of
warriors and artists, peace and chaos; and
she has something to offer everyone. From
the outdoor enthusiast, the gastronomy or
the history buff - she has it all. For me, on
a trip to the Kyle of Lochalsh; the image
of a red, twelve-pointer stage thundering
alongside an old steam train, dragon-like
with clouds of steamy breath hitting the
cool highland air is firmly imprinted into
my brain. In case you didn't realize it yet
- 1 love Scotland; it is the land of my birth,
and my home.
As an unofficial ambassador to my
homeland, I often hear the plans of future
tourists and, more often than not, they
present such an unrealistic itinerary that
I cringe - yes it is a small country but do
not be fooled! We have some of the wildest
terrain imaginable and the canny traveler
must be prepared for amazingly winding
roads, this also means that a longer amount
of time must be factored into a journey
through a mountain range, along with other
considerations, such as holdups caused
by free ranging livestock and inclement weather. In fact, stormy weather may
descend at a moments notice and the winds
and rain can carry with them the same
fervor as the magnificent landscape itself.
All of that information digested, the next
thing to realize is that there are different
and distinct cultures in Scotland, a major
divider being the highlands and the lowlands respectively. Needless to say, there is
a vastly different experience to be gained
from time spent in either of these regions.
A trip to the constantly mispronounced
Capital city of Edinburgh is a must. The
correct pronunciation is Edin-bur-UHH, as
in 'huh'. It is NOT EdinBURG (so please
do not call it that!). Apart from the Castle,
which contains the crown jewels, there are
so many places to explore in the city, far too
many to list here! Other cities worth a peek
aré Glasgow, for its amazing nightlife and
art; St. Andrews - the birthplace of golf,
Fort William with rugged Glencoe nearby
and the highest mountain in the highlands
— Ben Nevis. Inverness with its close proximity to Loch Ness and Dingwall, has so
many highland attractions within easy
reach. An often missed region of Scotland
is the Trossachs; this is Rob Roy Macgregór country and it encompasses the
stunning Loch Lomond, the tranquil village of Balquhidder and breathtaking countryside. Stirling, a really underappreciated
city in my opinion, is nearby and it is here
that you will find the Wallace monument. It
contains exhibits, a spectacular panoramic
view from the top of the monument and the
huge sword of Wallace himself!
Getting to the mainland however is
mandatory to fully appreciate the culture
of Scotland as her scores of islands have
different stories to tell. So next time you
are thinking of heading overseas, consider
Scotland, not only Ireland!
Just make sure you allocated enough time
and try to visit the Highland and Islands
too, for a real taste of life there, why not
visit all the distilleries - become a genuine
whisky connoisseur! Such a trip to Scotland
will reveal that there is much more than
bagpipes, kilts, haggis and 'Braveheart'
to enjoy...want a real surprise? - Visit the
lovely village of Plockton - we have naturally growing palm trees there! But don't
just take my word for i t...
�Jock Talk With Josh: Sinning off
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
When I was in 8th grade I went
on a field trip t o CSUSM. I don't
remember what for. That was
back in 1999 when I was 13 years
old.
I remember standing at the top
of the stairs that lead t o Science
Hall, j ust watching the students
walk around campus. I remember at the end of the day saying
I wasn't interested in going t o
that University. It didn't have
sports.
I remember a Saturday in April
of 2003 when I came to CSUSM
to take my placement tests. I was
mad because I was missing the
opening of the NBA playoffs.
I remember a day in Summer
2003 when I had orientation and
signed up for Fall 2003 courses.
I remember sitting in Arts 240,
wondering how this group of
people called the O-Team could
be so damn happy at 8AM.
I remember the tour around
campus. I remember arriving
at Commons 201, just past die
ASI offices, above the University store, and t o the l eft of the
elevator. The guide said this was
where the student newspaper had
its office. It seemed like he was
looking directly at me when he
said t hat
I remember the first Tuesday
of Spring 2004. It was 5PM and
I was waiting in the hallway of
2007
University Hall to attend my
first newspaper class. I remember these two women introducing themselves, asking why I
was interested in the newspaper.
I remember saying, " I want t o be
a sports journalist when I grow
up?
One of those women was Sarah
Carlin. I remember her calling
me on Wednesday February 11th,
telling me t o come t o campus. She
asked i f l wanted t o write a sports
column every week. I asked what
we would call i t I remember
Michael Dolan, the Ombudsman
and future editor-in-chief, sitting in a chair, helping u s come
up with a title. Sarah thought up
"Jock Talk," and I added "With
Josh."
I remember Tuesday February
17th, 2004 when the first "Jock
Talk With Josh" came o ut It was
about the dangers of ephedra
based drugs and how they were
affecting the world of sports.
Since I'm graduating this
semester, this is the final "Jock
Talk." I have learned and experienced so much because of this
column. This helped turn me
into a working journalist with the
"San Diego Union-Tribune" on
April 29th 2004.
It gave me a voice to influence.
If l wanted to talk about something, I wrote it here. I 'll never
forget when a current staff writer
told me she joined the paper
because of the article I wrote
in opposition t o the University
Hour.
This also got me into a lot of
trouble. I got my share of hate
mail when I lambasted the Winter
Olympics and when I commented
on the media's hypocrisy in the
Michael Richards incident
When my picture first accompanied the column, April 13th
2004, I found out that people
actually read this. To this day I 'm
still shocked when someone tells
me they read this.
Earlier this semester on a
Friday night I was at a restaurant
in Solana Beach when a woman
came up to me, asking if I was
Josh Sandoval. I didn't know
her, and was wondering how she
knew me. She told me she loves
my column and reads it every
week. It meant a lot t o me any
time someone came up t o me on
campus and told me they read
this.
I could fill this final column
with just names of people and
places that meant something to
me, so here are a few.
I've worked with three faculty
advisors: Jennifer Woodring,
Anthony Hurst, and Joan Anderson.
I've worked in three newspaper
rooms: Commons 201, ACD 301,
and Craven 3500.
I've worked with five editorin-chiefs: Elizabeth Baldwin, Jon
Rodley, Michael Dolan, Patrick
B. Long, and David Galley. I also
have t o mention Jason Encabo,
the current Managing Editor and
future editor-in-chief, because
I've been on the paper with him
the longest
There wasn't a Sports section
until my column came around.
My dream came true this year
when my column got pushed
t o the Opinion section because
others joined t o cover sports.
Thank you Jeremy Albers, Fernando Brown, Paul Baimbridge,
Mike Millburn, David Church,
Richard Esperti and Kyle Trembley.
I'm going t o miss this newspaper. I invested four years and
90 columns, so I know I 'll shed a
tear in F ait2007 when this is no
longer part of my life.
I don't know where I 'll be in 10
years. I could be a sports writer,
an MLB General Manager, a
national radio host, or a best selling author. Who the heck knows?
One thing I do know is I have this
column t o thank for getting me
started.
For the last time, comments can be sent to me at
Sando026@csusm.edu and the
paper at jnide@csusm.edu.

Interviews:
Zach Braff star of "Scrubs" and "The Ex"
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Oh that loveable Zach Braff. He's got a
knack for cracking us up and a taste for
music that's won him a Grammy. He's got
a dog named Roscoe, and in his spare time,
he likes to hang out with his Mends, watch
movies and read.
In his fourth film, "The Ex," B raff plays
Tom Reilly, a character struggling t o call a
handicapped person a, shall we say, an asshole? "One of things the movie addresses,"
Braff said, "is how do you deal with someone who's an asshole, they happened t o b e
in a wheelchair, but they're an asshole?
You feel so sorry for this guy because he's
had to deal with all this adversity in his
life, but he's an asshole. This guy's trying
to ruin my life, and no one will side with
me because everyone feels sorry for him."
Directed by Jesse Peretz, "The E x" stars
"Arrested Development"'s Jason Bateman
as Chip Sanders who is paraplegic and still
has a thing for Sofia Kowalski (Amanda
Peet). Sofia, a lawyer, is a new mother
and happily married to Tom. When Sofia
chooses to become a stay-at-home mom,
Tom finds it challenging to step up to the
demands of providing for his family, especially when faced with working alongside
Bateman's character, Chip.
Off camera, the two comedians hammed
it up, and according to Braff, Bateman's
jokes left him giggling like a schoolgirl.
"Mostly it's him making f un of me and
laughing at my expense. He's one of those
people, he can be making f un of you and
you're just cracking up because he's so
freakin' funny."
Growing up in New Jersey, Braff was
exposed to Manhattan's performing art
scene early on. He has memories of his
parents commuting into Manhattan to see
performances at art house theaters well
before independent films were the thing to
see. At home in New Jersey, B rafFs father
would host dinner parties for friends and
project 16-millimeter films on the wall.
Most of those movies were Woody Allen
films. "Even at a young age, before I could
possibly understand a Woody Allen movie
or anything else, I have memories of my
father celebrating the art of movies and
filmmaking."
The art of filmmaking turned into a dis-
cipline for Zach. He graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Film and
a minor in Musical Theatre.
From there he landed a role in Woody
Allen's "Manhattan Murder Mysteries,"
where Braff said, "If you look at my face
closely for the forty five seconds I'm on
screen, you'll notice that I looked terrified.
I was in a little bit over my head."
In 2001, Braff became Dr. John "JD"
Dorian on "Scrubs." Next season's future
of "Scrubs" is uncertain. "My gut is that
it will be on, but it won't be decided until
May 15, and particularly which network. It
will either be on NBC or ABC."
As a writer, director and soundtrack
producer for "Garden State," Braff has a
thing or two to say about making films for
the aspiring film makers. "You can't talk
about it," Braff said, "No amount of taking
classes or talking about it is going to make
any difference. You have to get out there
and make films. And I think, really, really

"So my idea is to have all these different
artists I really love, from Imogen Heap to
Paul Simon to Chris Martin, to write original songs that, in the movie, we'll pretend
are her songs and then she'll sing them in
the movie. On the soundtrack, the artist
who wrote the song will sing the song they
wrote. That's my rough concept of an idea
and I'm going to see if I can get people to
do that."
As far as music, Braff is currently into
Regina Spektor and Ingrid Michaelson.
"I think everyone should go on MySpace.
There's this girl Schuyler Fisk. She doesn't
have an album out, but you can hear her
on MySpace. She is incredible. I think that
she's going to be a big talent." And speaking of Myspace, Braff said, "I really love
the MySpace thing. For me, it's such a cool
invention that you can have a dialogue
with your fans."

spend a lot of time on developing a good
script. Anyone with a video camera can
go out there and make a video and put it
on YouTube. What sets the certain ones
apart is someone took the time and wrote a
really good script."
Although Braff frequently chooses
the music for "Scrubs,'* and has won a
Grammy for his selection of music for
"Garden State," and has directed three
music videos, Braff said, "I really don't
know anything about music, other than I
know what I like. If I can be a catalyst for
some amazing musician to help get exposure then I feel honored. I'm sure you've
seen an artist in any art form that you
love, and you j ust can't believe that no one
knows about them."
Braff is looking forward to directing
"Open Hearts," a dark drama. His excitement for "Open Heart's" soundtrack is
already bubbling up. "The lead girl in the
; movie is an aspiring singer," Braff said.

Traditional Afro-Cuban
drums and dance at CSUSN
BY KENNY KING
Pride Staff Writer
Silfredo La 0 Vigo and Patrice-ann Mea d give an impromptu lesson on dancing
Agogo plays in the background.
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, May 3, during
university hour, the library
courtyard was rocked with the
sounds of Afro-Cuban drum and
music. Paul Huggins, a musician
and educator at Yale University
since 1969 who has played A froCuban drums for five decades,
performed with Agogo, the resident drum and dance ensemble of
Palomar College. A fter singing,
performers Silfredo La O Vigo
and Patrice-ann Mead showed
off their dancing skills, while the
drum ensemble laid down some
contagious beats.
Dozens of students gathered to
hear the distinctive drum songs
and to watch the high-energy
dancing. Performers played
congas, bongos, and other percussion instruments including a
box-shaped drum. They played
all during university hour, which
is quite a feat considering some
drum players played with only
their bare hands. As a former percussionist, I can attest that this is
truly amazing. Even playing for
Photo by Kim Anderson / The Pride
Cai State San Marcos students while
10 minutes can make an average
drummer's hands numb from all
of that drum slapping.
At the end, the band had interested students come up and learn
how to meringue. Students' skill
levels varied from the very beginning stages to those who clearly
were not dancing for their first
time. It was amazing to see how
much f un it was for students to
learn and dance. The instructors
were both very skillful dancers
whose infectious attitudes made
learning dancing a joy, and for us
observers, entertaining to watch.
"It's Beer. Hooray Beer." If
you have not already guessed,
this week's Beer of the week
is Red Stripe. Not only is Red
Stripe brewed and bottled in
Jamaica but the Ambassador
of Jamaica is also the spokesman for Red Stripe. Obviously
Jamaica is very proud of their
beer, and they have the right
to be. Red Stripe is not only a
delicious brew, but it also complements Jamaican cuisine.
I was digging through my
refrigerator hoping to find a
home cooked meal when my
roommate mentioned he had
discovered a new restaurant
just down the street. I looked at
him and said, "Let's Go." Next
thing I know we are pulling up
to Jamrock on the 101 in Encinitas. "Jamaican cuisine: this will
be a first." But I was in store for
much more. When we sat down
the first thing I ordered was a
Red Stripe. When the waitress
returned with our beers in hand
I was happy to see that these
were no ordinary Red Stripes;
these were at least 32 ounces
of delicious beer. While I was
enjoying the first couple sips of
beer, the waitress filled us in
on some of the history of Red
Stripe.
To my surprise Red Stripe
is still brewed and bottled in
Jamaica. A soda company
brewed the first Red Stripe in
1928. Americans first discovered Red Stripe during World
War II when some of our troops
were sent to Jamaica. But it
wasn't until the 1960s, when
Jamaica became independent
from Britain, that the company
could go public and really start
producing beer.
I enjoyed my Red Stripe
with and Jamaican jerk chicken
sandwich. It was delicious,
and washing it down with Red
Stripe finished it off perfectly.
"It's beer. Hooray beer."

"Shrek the Third"

"Nancy Drew"
June 15
Shrek and Fiona are back, along with
their furry friends Donkey and Puss In
Boots. This time they face what may
be their most challenging task yet
- finding a new King for Far Far Away
after King Harold (shall we pun?)
croaks. (Well, he was a frog after all.)
Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron
Diaz and Antonio Banderas return as
the incomparable vocal cast.
It all began in 1930 with the debut of a
teen super-sleuth named Nancy Drew.
Conceived by Edward Stratemeyer,
whose brainchildren include such
well-known favorites as the Bobbsey
Twins and the Hardy Boys, the "Nancy
Drew" series was published under the
pseudonym Carolyn Keene though a
number of writers actually worked on
the series. In the soon-to-be-released
film adaptation, Emma Roberts plays
the winsome teen detective who
relocates from the fictional town of
River Heights to Hollywood, California,
and promptly finds a mystery to solve.

series catches up with Harry after his
encounter with Lord Voldemort, whose
return the leaders of the wizarding
community refuse to acknowledge.
Troubled by disturbing dreams, Harry
must prepare for battle against the

dreams begins to take an interest in
him.

Pride Staff Writer
With t he bright sun shining and the sweet s ummer
breeze tickling the w arm air, there is only one t hing
missing f rom your soon t o b e p erfect s ummer: t he
hot s ummer CD releases. T his summer shall b ring
many good t hings: the San Diego County Fair, 4th of
July celebrations, chlorinated and c affeinated p arties,
r oad t rips galore, beach outings and yes, the t op five
anticipated CD releases of the summer. I n my opinion, the five releases that w ill be the biggest sellers
and receive the most h ype in t he coming weeks are
Maroon 5 "It Wont' Be Soon Before Long," H anson
" The Walk," Paul McCartney " Memory A lmost F ull,"
Enrique Iglesias "Insomniac," and R ufus Wainwright
"Release t he Stars."
W ho can argue with Maroon 5 's latest single,
"Makes Me Wonder"? There is n o doubt about it t hat
t he guys are back and back with an attitude, along
with some seriously slick songs. It w on't b e long
before t he album "It Won't Be Soon B efore Long," is
in stores May 22.
D are I say it—Hanson is m aking a comeback.
Though t he brotherly t rio h as b een o ut of t he limelight
for quite some t ime now, t he once adolescent " MmmBoppers" are now all grown up. Seeing t hat I w as once
a seventh g rade teenie-bopper obsessed w ith t he t hree
" Mmm-Boppers," I w as quite s urprised t o h ear about
t heir new album " The W alk" being released on 3CG
Records May 22. Hanson, having traveled t o South
A frica and Mozambique, h as centered t he t heme of
t heir new album and single " The Great D ivide" on t he
devastating A IDS epidemic in A frica.
It would b e h ard for Paul M cCartney t o go wrong on
His upcoming release, especially since it is r umored that
h e is producing and compiling old audio t racks f rom
h is
Beatles
days
to
create
t he last ever
m ade new Beatles
song with a little help f rom
h is good friend R ingo Starr.
" Memory A lmost F ull" is due
out J une 5.
A h, E nrique Iglesias. We have m issed o ur
" hero." E nrique's latest single " Do You K now"
is upbeat even t hough its tone b ehind t he lyrics is
slightly forlorn. E nrique looks and sounds b etter
t han ever; h is b reak from t he niusic scene h as
w orn on h im well. Only 36 more sleepless nights
u ntil E nrique's album, " Insomniac" debuts June
12.
Lastly, R ufus Wainwright, t he p oetic d reamer
h e is, h as a new album entitled "Release t he
Stars," which w ill b e on store shelves May 15.
T his b eing t he songster's f ifth f ull-length album,
h is revamped and r efreshed style is s oft and delicious; p erfect f or an a fternoon c ruise along t he
coast.
Now t hat s ummer is in our m idst, p repare
yourself f or a musically mouthwatering b reak m
from studying.
Other new releases to keep your eye out for:
