CFA T O H OST A DAY OF CLASS A CTION

P R I D E S TAFF W R I T E R
The California Faculty Association will host "A Day of
Class Action" at all 23 Cal State
campuses on Wednesday, April
13 as part of a national campaign in support of higher education and university employees.
CSUSM rally participants will
gather at noon in Cesar Chavez
Plaza, then walk to the Rotunda
in Craven Hall for refreshments,
live jazz and speakers from 12:15
- 1:30 p.m. An open mic session
will follow from 1:30 - 2 p.m.,
giving students, staff and faculty opportunities to voice their
concerns about major changes
to higher education, both nationally and locally. "Without clear,
vocal and very public statements
against the changes that are being proposed and/or have already
been enacted, higher education as
we currently know it will be seriously damaged," CFA Chapter
President and CSUSM Sociology
professor Donald Barrett said.
Concerns regarding funding and
the rights of employees and students are key issues surrounding
the event. These concerns include
budget cuts and resulting tuition
increases adversely affecting affordable higher education, threats
to faculty decision-making power
regarding class content, size and
delivery, elimination of major
courses, majors and minors and
the idea of students being viewed
in terms of cost/benefit ratios.

With less than two hours to
spare, Congressional heads and
President Barack Obama avoided
a government shutdown by creating a temporary budget deal,
which cuts $38 billion from federal spending, on Friday, April 8.
The dramatic negotiation process
concerned many citizens who
feared total government shutdown as funding would have
stopped at midnight last Friday
if lawmakers failed to reach an
agreement. After meeting into
late hours Friday night, lawmakers and White House negotiators
agreed on an arrangement to fund
government operations until the
end of September while still trimming billions from its previous
budget. President Obama, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid
and House Speaker John Boehner negotiated the agreement. As
first reported by the Associated
Press, President Obama signed
the measure Saturday, April 9,
but it still requires Congressional
approval, which is set to happen
during this week. According to
the Associated Press, initially,
"the administration was poised
to shutter federal services, from
national parks to tax-season help
centers and to send furlough notices to hundreds of thousands
of federal workers," which aids
to explain the long negotiations
that lasted to the last hours of the
deadline. The agreement tested
the strength of America's divided
government as Republicans and
Democrats searched for common
ground under a time constraint.
As first reported by the New York
Times, Boehner described the
negotiation process as "a lot of
discussion and a long fight." In
SEE, BUDGET, P.2

EDITORIAL
STAFF
his address to the nation, President Obama remarked that the
deal is "a budget that invests in
our future while making the largest annual spending cut in our
history." He continued to emphasize the importance of Americans
"living within [their] means" as
an investment in future job markets. Republican initiatives to
reduce funding to Planned Parenthood and ease environmental
regulations caused much of the
censure in negotiating. While
these initiatives proved unsuccessful in the negotiation, many
citizens were concerned for the
fate of these federal programs.
One in five women have made a
visit to Planned Parenthood. With

CSUSM being approximately 61
percent female, the community
could easily have felt these effects.
CSUSM's Student Health
and Counseling Services, though
not directly tied to Planned Parenthood, offers similar services
and is funded through the state
and student fees. Because of its
alternate sources of funding,
Student Health and Counseling Services would still provide
reproductive health and education services should Planned
Parenthood cease to exist.

CALIFORNIA DROUGHT DECLARED OVER
GOVERNOR BROWN REPEALS FORMER WATER WORRIES
MORGAN HALL
LAYOUT ASSISTANT
On Wednesday, March 30,
Governor Jerry Brown announced an end to California's
three-year long drought after
one of the wettest winters since
1970, according to the state Department of Water Resources.
The stormy winter brought more
than 60 feet of snow in the Sierra
Nevada Mountains with more
snow expected to fall at the end
of this month. State officials report that the snowpack found in
the mountains is at 165 percent
of normal for this time of year.
When the snow melts, it should
supply farmers and residents all
across California with water during the summer in local lakes and
reservoirs. Governor Brown's
announcement repeals former
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's 2008 Declaration of a State
of Emergency because of three
years of extremely low water
levels. Schwarzenegger advocated conservation until water
levels rise and some cities imposed conservation measures on
its citizens. In 2009, the San
Diego region including here in
San Marcos, deemed to be at a
"level one" drought emergency,
which called for all citizens to
voluntarily conserve and reduce
water by 10 percent. Conservation measures set in place included, but were not limited to,
washing down paved surfaces,
repairing any inefficient landscape irrigation that leaks, wash-
ing vehicles with a bucket of
water and only watering residential and commercial landscapes
before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m.
Cal State San Marcos did
its part in water conservation
by planting drought resistant
plants around campus that require less water. The news of
the drought being over left some
residents relived since they can
now water their lawns as much
as they like, wash their cars everyday and even enjoy a glass
of water without feeling guilty.
Governor Brown still asks the
California public to continue to
conserve water. "While this season's storms have lifted us out
of the drought, it's critical that
Californians continue to watch
their water use," said Brown
in his drought announcement.
Although Brown feels that the
drought is over for now, farmers
and water officials worry about
the future weather conditions.
Water agency officials suggest
that "The dry summer weather
could bring a return to drought
conditions." The high amounts of
snow and rain have left the California reservoirs at extremely
high levels, but many water districts are having a hard time storing the surplus of water. Most of
the older reservoirs in California,
including the ones that facilitate
water to San Diego, are not Temperance Flat Dam, which do not
have the ability to store water.

DONE?
CSUSM CELEBRATES FACULTY SCHOLARSHIP, CREATIVE A CTIVITIES
JENNA JAUREGUI
FEATURES E D I T O R
They lecture you on psychology theories. They test your
knowledge of differential equations. They show you how to analyze poetry. They assign you pages of reading assignments. They
make you write lengthy papers.
Your professors are the captains of their college classrooms,
yet how many students truly
know their professors beyond
the credential abbreviations that
accompany their names? You
may see them throughout the
week, but few students take the
time to discuss anything besides
class material with their professors. If asked to list a few of
their professor's professional accomplishments, many students
will offer a blank stare. Most are
unaware that published works by
their very own professors line
the shelves in Kellogg Library.
Before and during their car-
ers as college employees, many
CSUSM professors proved their
scholarship in the professional
or creative world. Scholafly articles, research studies, scientific
experiments, and entire books
are the "feathers in their caps,"
bolstering their resumes and
qualifying them to educate future
scholars in their chosen fields.
Gerardo Gonzalez, Ph.D, saw
the gap between faculty accomplishments and student awareness of these merits. As the
Dean of Graduate Studies and
the Associate Vice President for
Research at CSUSM, he spearheaded the Celebration of Faculty
Scholarship and Creative Activities, an annual event that allows
students, faculty, and the community to share in CSUSM faculty research, writing, and other
achievements. Professors have
the opportunity to present their
projects in an informal group setting—each faculty member sets
up a display and discusses their
work with interested passersby.
On April 1, the second annual celebration event took place
in the Clarke Field House Sulpizio Family Grand Salon from
11 a.m. - 1 p.m. Over 30 faculty
members shared their accomplishments. Given the chance to
chat about subjects they are passionate about, the familiar professors beamed with fresh energy.
They eagerly conversed with the
students and other community
members who visited the event,
sharing their professional expertise with interested attendees.
Dr. Natalie Wilson, who teaches in the Literature and Writing
and Women's Studies departments
at CSUSM, recently published a
book titled "Seduced by Twilight:
The Allure and Contradictory
Messages of the Popular Saga."
She presented this book during
the event, and offered some comments regarding her experience:
Were
people
interested in your presentation of
"Seduced
by
Twilight?"
"Yes, many people expressed
genuine interest. At 'Twilight' fan
events interest is understandable,
but at an academic research event
such as this, I was happy to talk
to people from all across campus and the community - Deans,
faculty, students, and community
members - about how the saga
reveals a great deal about the
contemporary cultural moment."
What was your favorite thing about sharing your
work with staff and students?
"I particularly enjoy speaking
to people outside the 'target fan
base' regarding what they make
of the phenomenal success of
'Twilight.' One man compared it
to Beatlemania, and a fellow professor lamented that Bella Swan
is nothing like her favorite female
heroine, Nancy Drew. I also enjoy getting those who feel the
series is 'just entertainment' to
take a deeper look and consider
what messages this undeniable
cultural Zeitgeist is sending us
about love, romance, gender, and
sexuality as well as about two
areas people rarely consider race
(via the representation of Native
Americans as werewolves) and
religion (the author is Mormon)."
The event was a unique
chance to see CSUSM professors
"in their element," discussing topics they enjoy and sharing their
knowledge with others. Wilson
declared the celebration a success,
saying the room was "buzzing
with conversation." Organizers
expect a third annual event next
year, hoping to expand to a larger
location and schedule it on a day
when more students can attend.
If you missed this f un opportunity, try talking to your
professors about their work during their office hours. Many
would love to share their interests with eager students, and you
may learn something more than
the lessons they teach in class.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
April 2011 is proving to be a
hybrid of sun and snow. Boots,
raincoats and hats have resurfaced before they had a chance to
dry out from the last rains of winter. A chilly start to spring means
some are still stuffing tissues in
their pockets. College students
are feeling the stress of the postmidterms crunch, leaving many
with weakened immune systems
thai are susceptible to any nearby sneeze. If the common cold
is what ails you, here are a few
remedies most everyone has at
home to help combat the sniffles
and leave you ready to take on
the semester's remaining weeks.
/iff
CVAin
Have some OJ with your
breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange
juice not is one of the most vitamin C rich foods in existence.
According to biologist Thomas
Peel, vitamin C is not only effective in fighting colds, but it helps
in the growth and rebuilding of
bone and muscle. Stay away from
chalky vitamin C wafers, as the
U.S. Food and Nutrition board
recommends nutrient intake primarily through foods rather than
multivitamins, since the latter are
synthetic and less easily absorbed.
Go lay out. Here in San Diego,
tanning in April is certainly not
out of the question. Getting some
sun helps your body produce vitamin D, and it can affect your
mood in a positive way. Seasonal
Affective Disorder (SAD, appropriately) is typified by depressed
moods during fall and winter,
mostly because of a vitamin D
deficiency, so start making up
for that lost sunlight ASAP. According to Mayo Clinic, vitamin
D is great for the body and mind.
Soup for the soul. The old
mantra as a standby for cold
treatment is more valid than you
might think. Soup has much
more water in it than other foods,
aiding in hydration when your
body is trying to fight off a cold
virus. Parsley and carrots, traditional chicken soup ingredients, are both rich in vitamin A.
Vitamin A helps keep eyes, skin
and mucous membranes moist,
in case that dry cough is getting
tough to handle (lifeclinic.com).
Read: chocolate and peanut
butter. This does not mean a Reese's binge is acceptable here,
SEVEN COLD REMEDIES FOR
SPRING SNIFFLES
but both foods are high in zinc,
which has the potential to shorten
the duration of a cold. Chocolate
candy with high concentrations
of cacao is preferred, according
to the USDA National Nutrient
Database. Organic peanut butter
made from oil-roasted peanuts
and minimal sweeteners is your
best bet; only 100 grams of peanuts or peanut butter provides
nearly half of the RDA of zinc.
Calm down with chamomile.
Sometimes colds cause an inflammatory response on the outside of your body, including the
eyes. Calm redness in your eyes
with the super anti-inflammatory
food, chamomile. Make a weak
tea, let it cool until it is barely
warmer than your skin, and rinse
your face with it. According to
the U.S. Food and Drug Ad-
ministration (FDA), chamomile
causes allergic reactions in some
individuals, so test the solution
on the inside of your wrist first.
Take a dip in the spa. Ashish Kalekar of inhouseremedy.
com said, "Nothing chases away
a bad case of congestion better
than some good ol' steam treatment." If you are lucky enough
to have access to a hot tub, this
is when to take advantage of it.
If not, take a bath or shower and
breathe deep. Modify this suggestion if you have fever with
steam concentrated on just your
face instead of your whole body.
Sleep it o f f . After a relaxing bit
of heat, change into some comfy
clothes and pass out. Psychology
Today explained that sleep is one
of the most important mechanisms
your body employs for healing.

STOP VIOLENCE IN ITS TRACKS
W OMEN'S CENTER TO HOLD ANNUAL TAKE BACK THE NIGHT EVENT
Domestic violence and sexual assault plague women every
day. On Thursday, April 14, the
CSUSM Women's Center will
hold its fifth annual Take Back
the Night event—an energized
occasion with a mission to "break
the silence that surrounds the issues of domestic violence and
sexual assault, and to demand
an end to gender violence," ac-
which is incredibly empowering."
"Four women die in the U.S.
each day from domestic violence—brutally murdered by the men who
claim to love them,"
Heidi Breuer, Ph.D.,
Assistant
Professor of Literature and
Writing Studies, said.
This alarming statistic means domestic
violence takes the
lives about 1,460 women each
year. Statistics on sexual assault against women also show
taught from a very young age to ing dance and spoken word. They
be fearful of the night. We are told are a powerful and inspirational

stories in a safe, affirming environment. "This is probably the
most powerful, healing aspect of
the whole event," Burgess-Carland said. "Speaking out about
your experience of abuse is truly
transformative. I have talked to
women at CSUSM who told me
that Take Back the Night was the
first time they ever talked about
what happened to them. To me,
this is the whole reason we have
the event. When people speak out
they can begin to heal, and start
moving from victim to survivor."
cording to Women's Center Director Lea Burgess-Carland.
The event, which will begin
at 5 p.m. in the Library Plaza,
is a place where people of all
ages and genders can gather to
find support and raise awareness. Specific information about
Take Back the Night is available at csusm.edu/wc/events.
Our campus is not the first to
host this event. Take Back the
Night is an international event
that has been around for 35 years
in hopes of bringing an end to
sexual assault and abuse. Burgess-Carland stated, " Often, victims of these crimes remain silent
out of fear, shame or feelings of
guilt. Fewer than five percent of
sexual assaults are reported to
the police, and many survivors
will never speak out about the
abuse they have suffered. This
can lead to feelings of isolation
and powerlessness. Take. Back
the Night provides an opportunity for people to speak out and
demand an end to these crimes,
a significant amount of problems
women face in their daily lives.
"Events like Take Back the
Night are necessary
because, while 54
percent of women say
they have been sexually assaulted, only
25 percent of men say
they have engaged
in sexual aggression
or forced sex," Prof.
Breuer
continued.
Burgess-Carland revealed, "Women aged
1 6 - 2 4 experience the
highest rates of sexual
assault and intimate
partner abuse. 1 in 5
women will be a sexually assaulted while she is in college!...] these ^ people in your
classes, people you work with and
people in your student organizations. It is a reality at CSUSM,
and we must demand an end."
Take Back the Night events
hope to reclaim safety and peace
of mind. "As women, we are
someone we know, the threat
of the 'stranger jumping out at
u s' at night is enough to keep us
Take Back The Night will
conclude with a march down
Twin Oaks Valley Road with hundreds of participants making a
physical statement that they will
no longer tolerate sexual abuse
and violence towards women.
"Take Back the Night is an
event for the entire community,
not just for women," BurgessCarland stated. "Although of
course we want to encourage all
women to attend, we hope that
men will come to support as well.
Men need to get involved in ending violence against women.
Without men working by our
side, it will never end. We also
acknowledge that many men
have also been victims of sexual
assault or domestic violence.
They are welcome and encouraged to come and speak out in
the circle and get help and resources as well. The Women's
Center, and Take Back the Night,
is here for all CSUSM students."

CSUSM track & field is
rounding the final corner of
the season before Nationals, competing at the Pomona Pitzer Invitational on
Saturday. With that event
in the book, Coach Steve
Scott's athletes have four
more chances to punch their
ticket to the NAIA National
Championships by meeting the qualifying marks.
The Cougars had plenty
of highlights on Saturday, as
well as plenty of close calls.
Suzanne Cornwell met
the "B" qualifying standard
in the 1,500-meter run with
her time of 4:41.63, good
for 11th place at the event.
Michelle Cruz finished
10th in the 800-meter run
at 2:17.15, just about a second off the "B" standard.
On the men's side, Daniel
Lyon easily met the "A" standard in the 5,000-meter run,
and, while doing so, recorded
the team's best finish of the
day. Lyon ran 14:36.95, over
eight seconds ahead of the
" A" standard, to place second.
Four-time Ail-American
Brett Campfield posted another impressive finish, taking third in the 1 ^00-meter dash.
His time of
3:51.97 is well ahead of
the event's "A" standard.
Coach Scott's track &
field team will next compete at the Mt. Sac Invitational, starting this Thursday.

§weep on the day and series sweep
Mr the season, #4-ranked Cal
State San Marcos looked sharp
at home against Biola University
on Friday, winning 5-0 and 8-0.
The
#4-ranked
Cougars
improved to 33-6 on the season? Biola dropped to 23-19.
Pitcher B rennatj Sandberg
was lights-out in both games,
throwing all 13 innings on the
day and holding Biotk scoreless. The wins improve Sand-
berg's NAIA-best record to 295. She allowed just three hits ml
both games, striking out nine in
the first and six in the second.
Sandberg had plenty of support, both at the plate and in the
field. Biola's best scoring chance
in game one came in the third inning, as the Eagi$s moved two
runners j nto scoring position with
one out. But a mediuin-shallow
i ly ball was caught by left fielder
Alicia Ingram, and she gunned out
the runner at home with a perfect
throw to keep the shutout intact.
At the plate in game one,
CSUSM jumped out to a 2-0 lead
in the first and never looked back.
Derrisha Lacey led off by driving
a triple to the left-centerfieldgap,
and after Alicia Ingram walked
and stole second, Alex Miller
drew a walk to load the bases.
Shanti Poston plated Lacey with
a sac fly, and Ingram would come
home to score on a wild pitch.
With the score 3-0 in the
fifth, the Cougars would put
it otit of reach,i C urtesy of an
RBI single f romfKimi Villalpando and a fielder's choice
by Theresa Houle where pinch
runner Brittney Guy beat the
throw home on a ground ball.
Game two Would stay scoreless for a couple innings, but
the Cougar offense strung a few
crooked numbers together in the
middle innings to end it after six.
First baseman Alyssa Dronenburg got things goiftg in the
third, just crushing a no-dteifctabout-it two-run home run over
the fence in left. CSUSM would
plate two the following frame as
well, with Heavin-Lee Rodriguez
driving in a ifun with a base hit
and scoring on a Lacey single.
The Cougars came close to
ending it in the fifth, scoring
three times to make it 7-0. Theresa Houle drilled her second
double of the day, plating Miller
and Dronenburg, and Jalisa Mc-|
CaJfel would add a deep sacrifice fly later in the inning,
CSUSM wasted little time
closing things out in the Seventh. Kaitlin McGinley led off
by beating out an infield single,
stealing second and coming
home on a Miller triple to right.

Chapman did the bulk of its
damage in the third inning, where
with two outs second baseman
Tyler Hadzinsky knocked a bases-clearing three-run double off
Cougar starter Adam Bileckyj,
who otherwise was very solid.
Bileckyj
uncharacteristically
walked four batters, but struck out
four as well and allowed just four
hits in his six innings of work.
The Cougar offense broke
through in the fifth, with Victor
Serna and Kyle Secciani drawing
walks, Johnny Omahen sacrificing them over, and Serna scoring
on a passed ball to cut it to 3-1.
Chapman would pick up
what turned out to be a crucial
insurance run in the bottom of
the frame, as CSUSM continued to chip away at the lead. A
Mike Mecucci sac fly cut it to
4-2 in the sixth, and Trent Jemmett's RBI single made it 4-3 in
the seventh, but with the bases
loaded and one out the Cougars
would fail to plate any more runs.
With reliever Kyle Smart
working two perfect innings on the
mound, CSUSM had its chance to
complete the comeback, loading
the bases again in the ninth. But
Chapman reliever Kyle Tachibana induced a fly-out to strand
the tying run at third, sending
the Cougars home disappointed.

FEATURES E D I T O R
Art communities may be the
first targets for budget cuts, but
they are also the first to help others in need. April 21 - 27, the
Art Association at CSUSM is
holding an art auction to benefit
relief efforts in Japan. All of the
proceeds go towards the victims
affected by the earthquakes and
tsunami floods that devastated
the country on March 11.
Strong aftershocks from the
initial earthquake continue to
shake Japan, reaching up to
magnitude 7.1 and causing more
deaths and destruction. The horrific images and heart-breaking
stories plastered in newspapers across America have many
people wondering what they
can do to help. One way that
CSUSM students can contribute
to the relief effort is to donate
art and attend the art auction.
Students can drop off their art
submissions on April 18, 19 and
20 during U-hour in Arts 111.
All mediums are accepted. Email
your name, title of your art piece
and medium to Morgan Hefley
at hefle003@cougars.csusm.edu.
Bidding begins April 21 and ends
on the 27. Hefley was able to answer some questions regarding
the art auction; additional information is available at csusm.edu/
n ews/articles/ArtsAuction.
The Pride: What inspired
this idea? How did the
idea of a benefit art
auction come to be?
Morgan Hefley: The
benefit art auction idea
started with the willingness of Arts Association, artists last
spring, when we
all decided to do
a similar event,
The Hope for
Haiti Art Auction, to help
aid
Haiti.
The auction was
s uccessful and
w -e
be best directed towards
aiding Japan.
T P:
were
a ble
to
send
over $200 via
the Red Cross to Haiti
in their time of need. At the
beginning of this semester we decided to do a second philanthropy
gallery and began looking for a
cause to which we could donate.
We started working towards one
particular cause, but the dual natural disaster in Japan essentially
fell into our laps. No one had any
idea that this would occur, and
it seemed that our event would
does the
hope to raise?
MH: We would like raise as
much money as possible. If I
might make so bold as to throw
a number out, I would love to see
us raise at least $400 dollars. But
it largely depends on the nymber
of art submissions in the gallery,
how much the artist will place for
the opening bid and of course,
those bidding on the art. The
last Art Auction resulted in just
over $200; I would love for
that to be essentially
doubled.
TP: Do
art
submissions for the
auction need to
be of a particular skill level?
MH: The Art
Association
accepts and encourages
all CSUSM students,
whether members of
Arts Association or not,
to exhibit their work in the
galleries. All of our exhibits are the result of the hard
work, ingenuity and creativity
of CSUSM students. In any of
our galleries, not just the benefit
auction, we only ask that students
take pride in their work and others
work by submitting their best.
T P: Where will the money go?
In what form will it be donated?
MH: All of the proceeds, like
the last Art Auction, will be donated to Japan through the Red
Cross. I do want to be specific
that all the proceeds will be going to Japan, not a percentage.
TP: If this event is a success,
will there be other possible auctions for different charities?
MH: I think it is safe to say
that if these benefit art auctions
continue to be a success, that the
students of CSUSM will see more
of this caliber of events. However, it depends largely on the
members of the Art Association
as well as the executive officers,
who decide whether they want to
pursue these events or not. Several of us are graduating, and new
executive members will be taking
the helm next semester. We hope
to hold elections by the end of
this semester, and any CSUSM
students who wish to become
an integral part of this awesome
art community and help plan
such events as the Art Auction
for Japan are welcome to run.
TP: Do you have any words
of encouragement for artistic students who may be hesitant to submit their work?
MH: Again, I would like emphasize that the Art Association
welcomes and encourages all
CSUSM students, whether members of the Art Association or not,
to submit their work,. This is the
students' Art Association. It belongs to all of us, and we want
to see your projects and magnum
opuses receive all the attention
they deserve. We provide the opportunity for the entire CSUSM
student body, as well as faculty
and visiting community to view
it. So far, for this Art Auction,
we have a tentative schedule of
submissions of photography,
paintings and jewelry design.
We hope to see more as we get
closer to the exhibit installation,
which is on April 18, 19 and 20
from noon - 1 p.m. in the Arts
lobby outside of Arts 111.

tertaining and talented young
performers. Participating artists
represented many musical genres
including rap, screamo and a
little plain rock. The bands were
judged by a pre-selected panel
that looked at categories like
crowd response, stage presence
and overall likability and appeal.
While most of the bands seemed
to simply be participating in order
to help their fellow students out,
the main prize for the winning
band was a chance to perform during Welcome Week on campus:
a paid gig. Needless to say, all
the bands brought their A game,
and there was no lack of energy
or enthusiasm the entire night.
It's refreshing to know that,
despite everything that is going
on in our busy lives as students,
some of us still take the time to
help out our fellow classmates.
Carrie Kresser, a senior majoring in Kinesiology, summed the
event up nicely: "It's just worth

�THE DIGITAL DELUGE
ARTS & LECTURES PRESENTS W ORK BY M AUREEN DRDAK
RYAN
DOWNS
P R I D E STAFF W R I T E R
We may see images everywhere, but when was the last
time we truly understood a piece
of legitimate art? Accomplished
painter Maureen Drdak intends
to answer the question with her
lecture on twenty-first century
global art. At 7 p.m. tonight,
CSUSM's Arts & Lectures series
premieres the "Insanity, Creativity, and Communication: the
Digital Deluge and its Challenges
for the 21st Century Global Artist," for f ree, in Clark 113. The
event is a great opportunity for
aspiring painters and art enthusiasts to learn more about the nature of contemplative art and its
lacking presence in modern society. Most importantly though,
guests will learn cases of how
the creative processes and relevance of the modern artist may
be threatened by the overwhelming affect of digital imagery.
Drdak plans to showcase her
many works and explain the significance of historical contemplative practices and their relevance
to the modern artist. Her works,
like most traditional paintings,
require meditation in order for a
viewer to enjoy and are a stark
contrast to the digital imagery
that seems to constantly overwhelm modern senses. "She's
looking at historic practices,
contemplative practice, which
involves [sic] creating artwork
with a very deep focus that leads
to a greater understanding of the
work," said Professor Tony Allard, who proposed the lecture
after meeting Drdak in Reno.
"What Maureen [Drdak] is emphasizing," Prof. Allard continued, "is the contemplative practice
of paintings in which you experience the work on a much more
fundamental level, and you experience the content of that work
in a more comprehensive way."
Drdak emphasizes the necessity for contemplation in art,
stressing the point of what the
purpose of art is. She does not
only present a pretty image to
look at, but she uses imagery to
convey an emotion, even when
the typical American is not always interested in deep contemplative thought. Through understanding meditative paintings, the
viewer in turn comes to a deeper
understanding of a greater work
of art: global human culture.
Drdak plans to speak about
the necessity of archetypes in
art and their relevance to global
cultures, which, until recently
in human history, would have
never mingled, yet all share similar attitudes and stories spoken
through their art. Through the
study of all the aforementioned
archetypes, we can achieve a
better understanding of the similarities we all share. To better
understand art, is to better understand what it means to be human.

What if two common parts of
a college student's life, studying and cell phone use, were
combined? The Study Droid
application indeed combined
the two, compatible for popular Android smart phones. The
Study Droid app enables users
to create note cards or flashcards
for any topic imaginable. Users may edit virtual cards, and
pictures from your phone can
also be placed on the cards. You
create each note card individually, with both the back and front
available for text and pictures.
Consumers download this
application for free at either
www.studydroid.com
or directly from the market on the
phone itself. The website offers tutorials and explanations
on how to create the note cards
and allows downloads and syncing of note cards from the site.
The app allows fellow Android
owners to share flashcards by giving out the name or URL of the
flashcard pack. There is also the
option to download, or "clone,"
and personally edit previously
created packs. Although app
purchasers can share and clone
flashcard packs, some users use
security settings so they may only
view and edit their own packs.
When studying for midterms,
finals or quizzes, this application is useful for the busy college student on the go. A quick
and easy download and creation
of the note cards resolves the
problems of illegible handwriting, a messy stack of cards and
the purchasing of physical, paper note cards. The old school
way of studying flashcards may
still appeal to some students, but
the Study Droid correlates with
the convenience of technology.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The world is much different
than it was just 30 years ago.
Technology makes communication possible when there's literally a planet between two people.
It's true, though, that the notion of texting a best friend or
loved one is much less romanticized than a kindly crafted letter
sent through snail mail. Phone
calls, while becoming increasingly less-expensive methods
of cross-country communication, still lack that truly personal
feeling. Skype is too dependent
on the strength of one's Internet
connectivity to contend with the
aforementioned methods, so we
won't bother with that for now.
It seems (to me, anyway),
that the best form to communicate with someone you're
missing is to find him or her
in your daily life. And that is
exactly what Irish songstress
Lisa Hannigan accomplishes in
the most poetic way possible.
Irish native Lisa Hannigan
was born in 1981 in County
Meath. She began performing professionally with fellow
Irish musician Damien Rice in
2001, mostly singing with him
on recordings and occasionally contributing guitar or bass
in live performances. Hannigan
also appears on recordings with
The Frames, Snow Patrol lead
singer Gary Lightbody and the
late Mic Christopher. Hannigan
focused the majority of her career on backup singing for Rice.
In 2007, Hannigan and Rice
had a "falling out" of sorts, and
she immediately left his tour
to begin solo work. In early
2009, "Sea Sew," her debut album, was released in the States.
Hannigan's quietly powerful, breathy vocals combine with
ethereal poetic styling to produce
tracks with as much soul as they
have substance. "Sea Sew" contains songs that seem to address
an unnamed love interest (or a few
of them) Hannigan calls "gentle
spoken friendfs]" or "my love."
E NN
Phot^^îne^^^^w^^^e^pic^re^^^^photo^et
"An Ocean and a Rock," the
first track off "Sea Sew," portrays Hannigan as someone going
about her day with someone so
strongly in her mind that he or she
is in her overcoat, her coffee, and
clearly, her mind. "I spoon you
into my coffee cup / I spin you
through a delicate wash / I wear
you all day," Hannigan hums. She
finds this person in everything
she touches, proclaiming that
the distance that "an ocean and
a rock" creates means nothing to
her. Cheerful strings, jazzy drums
and a tender guitar complete the
hopeful song's orchestration.
Perhaps Hannigan was on tour
when she wrote this song, halflamenting of the space between a
dear friend and her. People's lives
take different roads more frequently than some might prefer,
but coping with the distance is as
easy as using your day to remember what (and who) you love.
Hannigan
is
currently
on tour throughout Ireland.

HAPPY H OUR O F THE WEEK: BULLY'S DEL MAR
CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
MEDIA MANAGER
From the outside, Bully's
North Del Mar might not
seem like an inviting hotspot for food and drinks . The
name alone links the mind
to dive bars full of knifewielding bikers. Don't be
fooled, though. Bully's is
an enjoyable place to gather
up the group and treat each
other to a night of succulent
STUDENT
food and refreshing drinks.
Bully's is by no means a
large bar, but what it lacks
in size, it makes up for in
substance. Since the bar is
just a short drive from the
Del Mar racetrack, it features a number of interesting racehorse memorabilia.
Bully's perfectly melds
old school hardwood bars
with a racehorse theme.
Happy hour at Bully's
begins at 3 p.m. on Mondays - Fridays and ends at
7 p.m. On Sunday - Thurs-
day, a different happy hour
occurs from 10 p.m. - closing. During Bully's Happy
Hour, the bar serves $3 bottled beer, $3 domestic pints,
$4 microbrew pints, $3
house wine glasses, $6 wine
glasses and half-price appetizers. Bully's offers a wide
variety of beers on tap like
Sierra Nevada, Yellowtail
Pale Ale, Blue Moon, Stella
Artois, Newcastle, Fat Tire,
Guinness and Stone. The
bar serves several types of
wines such as Cabernet Sau-
A •• "TQ* Time" by Faith
vignon, Pinot Noir, White
Zinfandel, Merlot, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio.
During Happy Hour, halfprice appetizers include the
prime rib quesadilla, Cajún
chicken bits, crab-stuffed
mushrooms, fried zucchini, calamari strips, jalapeno poppers, sautéed mushrooms, peel-and-eat shrimp
and a sampler platter.
If appetizers aren't your
thing, the dinner menu at
Bully's is enough to satisfy any hungry bar patron.
From the filet mignon to
porterhouse, steak is king at
Bully's, and it shows. However, there's more to Bully's
than just its steak. Although
it can be a bit expensive, the
menu boasts a large number of sandwiches, seafood,
salads, soups and desserts.
Bully's is located at 1401
Camino Del Mar in Del
Mar. Whether for food or
drinks, Bully's will have
you racing back for more.

Cal State San Marcos is
creating new divisions of current colleges to help equally
distribute and distinguish academic idisciplines on campus.
University officials have
recognized the need to restructure the current composition
of colleges to help meet the
need for growth and development in the university's future.
Currently the College of Arts
and Sciences (CoAS) fosters
more than 50 percent of the degree programs available on campus, including 25 Bachelor of
Arts and Bachelor of Science programs and 32 minors. The new
split would divide science and
math disciplines into the new College of Science and Mathematics
and further divide the other CoAS
departments into College of Arts,
Humanities and Social Sciences.
Further advancements include the new addition of College of Education, Health and
Human Services that will house
Education, Nursing, Kinesiology and Human Development.
The College of Business Administration will not be affected by any of the new changes.
"The restructuring is rearranging departments and schools
and colleges, in the case of Nursing and Education, in a way that
best positions the university for
moving forward," said David
Barsky, Associate Vice President of Academic Programs.
"I am confident that this will
position us well to leverage our
strengths and create a stronger impact with our programs.

�ASI UTAH EXCURSION ALLOWS STUDENTS TO SEEK
FUN, THRILLS DURING SPRING BREAK
r
J ULIAN K ERSTETTER
LAYOUT E DITOR
For most college students
nowadays, Spring Break poses
a significant conundrum. On the
one hand, who doesn't want to get
away from the rigors of school
and go and enjoy vacation time
in a beautiful and relaxing location f ar from home? On the other
hand, who wants to fork out the
time, energy and money needed
to make a trip like that possible?
With gas prices looming at about
$4 a gallon and tuition skyrocketing along with them, chances
are, Spring Break with no extra costs sounds nice and much
more manageable. However,
vacation doesn't need to break
the bank or complicate your free
time. This semester, a handful of
students took their one week of
freedom into their own hands and
took off on an adventure that any
outdoor-lover would envy: an
outdoor excursion trip to Utah.
Sponsored by ASI, CSUSM's
Alternative Spring Break program allows students on a budget to have fun and get out with
some friends without the stress
of high costs and major planning.
One of this semester's Spring
Break programs, a Utah excursion, found around 14 CSUSM
students hiking and biking their
way along scenic canyons and
breathtaking desert terrain for
seven days and six nights. The
students, along with Brian Daw-
son from the University Village
Apartments (UVA) and Hugo
Lecomte from Campus Recreation as their guides, journeyed
to the famous Utah hotspots
Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon and
Arches as well as participated in
a mountain bike ride in Moab.
For those of you who haven't
heard of these recreational areas,
Bryce and Zion Canyons are two
national parks located in southern Utah while Arches National
Park is located in eastern Utah.
Bryce and Zion Canyons, while
certainly not as big or as amazingly vast as their often compared-to counterpart the Grand
Canyon, offer nature lovers awe
inspiring vistas of jutting rock
formations and sweeping cliffs,
all set against the majestic back-
drop of the Utah desert. Arches
National Park, in comparison,
offers exactly what its name
implies, a look at some of the
most unique and brilliant rock
arch formations in the world.
Altogether, these three parks are
some of the most beautiful and
naturally thrilling locations in
the southwestern United States.
A trip to the canyons of Utah
is unforgettable, and for this particular trip, everything, including
accommodations (and for those
of you who prefer not to sleep on
the ground, all accommodations
were indoors), only cost each
student who participated $200. In
the words of one of the campers,
Whitney Brown, a senior majoring in Kinesiology, the trip was an
"absolute steal and totally worth
it." Brown also commented that
"it was %ne of the most memorable trips [she l as] been on. It
w^s a Iife\changing experience
and absolutely unforgettable."
For those already settled into
the final few months of this semester, keep in mind that this
time, next year, you could be
returning refreshed and renewed
from an alternative Spring Break
sponsored by ASI. Hopefully
now you know that it won't
leave you broke, will give you
a chance to spend time with
some friends, and will leave
you refreshed and renewed before returning back to the grind.

DORM STUDENTS BUILD HOMES IN MIAMI OVER SPRING BREAK
RYAN D O W N S
P RIDE STAFF W RITER
Any student will tell you that
the best part of the second semester is, of course, the part without
any school. It is a known fact that
most of the country's students
have regarded Spring Break as an
eagerly anticipated opportunity
for surfing, sports and general
relaxation. It is a week during
which students can engage in far
more activities than are usually
available during winter and can
enjoy a taste of what is yet to
come over summer break, albeit
at a more manageable temperature. However, at CSUSM's own
Univesity Village Apartments
(UVA), not everyone went home
for the break; as part of an alternative Spring Break program, a
large group of students from the
dorms volunteered to work with
Habitat for Humanity, building homes in Miami, Florida.
These select few students
worked long, hard hours, building houses for low-income families in the Miami area. According to Marcos Villanueva, one
of the students who participated
in the trip, "we'd wake up at 6
[a.m.], work from 7:30 [ ajn.] to
around 3:30 [p.m.]." The group
worked on a different portion
of the house each day. '"Some-
times we did dry wall, we did
insulation, floor boards, a lot of
different stuff," James Sanchez,
another student, said. "We didn't
finish any houses, but we prepared it [s/c] for the blitz days,"
Villanueva elaborated, "basically, we built the foundation,
which took about four days, and
Habitat [for Humanity] is going
to swiftly finish the houses over
the course of 10 days." Overall,
the group played a crucial part
in helping Habitat for Humanity, creating houses for those who
desperately need them. "It's lifechanging," Sanchez said, "because it opens your eyes to new
experiences and other problems
that are going on this country."
The experience, however, was
not all work. "We went sightseeing, we went to alligator
swamps, and we went fanboating," Sanchez said. Villanueva
added, "Although we had to work
a lot we needed some free time.
We saw famous sites like "Miami
Ink." One of the nights they had
a party for the workers, just to
say thanks." In addition to giving
back to the community, the group
managed to have fun in Miami, making the experience that
much more rewarding. Overall,
the group worked hard, but the
payoff was great. They not only
gave back to the community; they
had a lot of fun in the process.

Interested in seeing spring's
early beauty? Why not enjoy a few hours at the Carlsbad Flower Fields—50 acres
of brightly blooming flowers.
The fields, which overlook the
Pacific Ocean, are filled with
colorful Ranunculus blooms.
Rows of these flowers carpet the
rolling hillside, creating a feast
for the eye and camera lens.
Located in the heart of Carlsbad, the Flower Fields are open
seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to
6 p.m. and are open to the public
until May 8. Prices for the Flower
Fields are $10 for adults, $9 for
seniors age 60, and above, $5 for
children ages three to 10 and children younger than two are free.
The Carlsbad Flower Fields
offer a variety of activities for
families, couples, and individuals. The strategically planted
American Flag of Flowers, which
sits in a 300 by 170 foot plot,
contains flowers that were planted to resemble an American flag.
The fields also annually set up a
unique sweet pea maze in which
visitors can navigate through a
fragrant and colorful maze of "old
fashioned" sweet pea blossoms.
If you are interested in celebrat-
ing Christmas during spring, the
Carlsbad Flower Fields also hosts
a 1,500 square foot poinsettia
greenhouse to display over 20 unusual and rare varieties of poinsettias. Visitors can also learn the history of the amazing holiday plant.
The fields also offer a few nonflower related activities including
the Carlsbad Mining Company,
where visitors can find and polish gem stones using an actual
miner's method. Santa's Playground, which was once part of
the Lake Arrowhead theme park
"Santa's Village," now has a
new home on the Flower Fields
and allows the public to enjoy
historic whimsical play houses
and giant colorful mushrooms.
According to their website,
theflowerfields.com, the Carlsbad Flower Fields' peak blooming period lasts from March
through May. Don't miss the opportunity to capture the beautiful
blossoms with a Canon photography workshop on April 17. The
Flower Fields also hosts music
festivals and craft fairs; check

the website for more information.

At the Mangrum Track & Field
MEN'S GOLF JUMPS I Invitational, Brian Clay didn't intend to blow the field out of the
TO #17
water, but the crowd believed he
would. Anthony Harbor wouldn't
have any of that. After all, he
intended to impress fellow athletes from his alma mater, too.
Clay, the reigning Olympic
gold medalist in the Decathlon,
and a graduate of Azusa Pacific
University, arrived with athletes
from the school on Saturday,
saying he "just needed to get a
meet in." Clay competed in the
discus throw, an event he holds
the decathlon record in, as well
as the 110-meter hurdles alongside- Anthony Harbor. Harbor,
who graduated from CSUSM last
year, ran stride for stride with
Clay, hurdling over the obstacles
in unison—but just far enough
Cal State San Marcos men'I
golf jumped up 6 spots in this
week's NAIA National Rankings, settling in at #17 after
debuting last week at #23 j
Coach Greg Hutton's Cougars, who were unranked in the
preseason, capped off a very
strong regular season with a
7th place finish out of 16 teams
at the Cal Baptist Spring Break
Intercollegiate in Primm, NV
on March 21-22. At that event,
CSUSM finished right in the
middle of a field loaded with
ranked teams, placing ahead of
numerous teams including Holy
Names University (#13) and the
University of Victoria (#21).
The Cougars* are preparing
to compete at the A .II. Conference Championships in Victoria, Texas starting Apr. 25.
behind to see Clay finish ahead
of him at 14.10 to his 14.24.
"It was the first three hurdles," Harbor said. "He was
way 'more explosive than I
was. He had a better center of
gravity. He's a great athlete."
London awaits Clay in 2012,
and with the summer games
in sight, the two-time medalist
(he won the silver in 2004) has
been training rigorously to regain his fitness after a devastating hamstring injury ended his
World Championship bid in 2009.
"[The 110-meter race] was
sloppy, but it's thefirstrace, so you
don't expect much more than that.
You can't expect too much. You've
just got to get your feet wet."
When sloppy running equals
first place at a competitive college
track meet, another Olympic gold
medal seems reasonable. Clay
didn't even win the discus throw,
which might be his best event,
placing second behind Azusa Pa-
cificfreshmanBeckwith Brad. But
Clay wasn't there to win, anyway.
"Hearing the gun for the first
time, getting in the [discus throwing] ring and not having a foul
for the first time...that kind of
stuff can kind of play with you a
little bit, so you just want to get
in there and deal with it mentally and emotionally," he said.
For those who were there to
win, there were plenty of opportunities. CSUSM sophomore Krystle Osby flew past the field to win
the 100-meter dash with a time of
12.23, with sophomore teammate
Aimee Rassavong finishing third.
The Cougar women dominated the
pole vault, with Calah Ayer, the
winner with a 3.19 meter jump,
followed by teammates Kelsey
Monticalvo, Meghan Freund
and Natalie Eisenberg gathering
a clean sweep of the 1-4 spots.
The one-mile invitational
run polished off the evening and
contained a field of only five
runners hand-picked for a close
race. CSUSM's Brett Campfield
went toe-to-toe with BSK Running Club's David Edwards before finishing less than a second
behind, with the crowd cheering wildly behind the athletes.
The day belonged to Clay,
though. Everyone on the premises knew it, and had they not
known he was there when they
arrived, they were soon informed of his presence over the
loudspeakers in the announcer's
emphatic voice. Clay brought a
small crowd to the discus throw,
a sight usually unseen at college
Track & Field meets. When the
champion took his mark on the
hurdles track, the crowd buzzed
and flashbulbs exploded. For
Harbor, it meant an opportunity
to represent for the home crowd.
"This is my school," Harbor said, a gleam in his eye.
"You have to make it look
easy, even though it's not."
WOMEN'S GOLF
SHINES AT CSUMB
Playing their final "regular
season" round of the spring,
Coach Cindy Naval's CSUSM
women's golf squad went out
on a high note, shooting an outstanding 317 to finish 11th place
at the Lady Otter Invitational.
Hosted by CSU Monterey
Bay at Black Horse GC in Seaside, CA, the tournament featured a 22-team field loaded
with NCAA Division I and II
schools. CSUSM was just one
of three NAIA teams compet-=
ing, but shot rounds of 325 and
317 for a total of 642 to place
ahead of 11 NCAA teams. Nova
Southeastern won the event with
a team total of 597, with the host
school placing second at 614.
Linnel DeVilla continued
what has been a great spring
for her with an excellent round
of even par 73 on Tuesday.
Combined with Monday's 79,
DeVilla shot a 152 at the tournament, tying her for 11th place.

Recently ranked #4 by the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, the Cal State
San Marcos women's softball
team was ready to give it their
all and grab two wins*during a
double header vs. the 12th-ranked
Columbia College Cougars.
Shortstop, Shanti Poston,
made the first official big play
of the game by tagging the Columbia runner and closing out
the top of the 1st inning. At the
top of the 2nd, Columbia scored
3rd consecutive runs on one hit
due to a few small errors and a
wild throw to the catcher, placing the San Marcos Cougars
down by three early in the game,
By the beginning of the 3rd,
San Marcos began to find their
groove defensively by only allowing one hit for the remainder
of the
game. Midway through
the 3rd, pitcher Brenna Sandberg began, as head coach Dave
Williams said, "to shake the rust
off" after nearly 12 days without
playing a single game. Sandberg
ended the first game by striking
out 9 Columbia College batters.
As the remaining innings began to pass by, the fans, players,
and even coaches feared a loss,
At the bottom of the 7th and final inning, the CSUSM softball
team knew here would be its last
chance to shake things up and
get 3 runs to tie or 4 runs to win.
Derrisha Lacey stepped up to
the plate, hit the ball just out of
the reach of the third baseman,
and cutting the lead to 3-1. With
the winning run on base, Poston

NINTENDO'S LATEST IN TECHNOLOGY: THE 3DS
A LOOK AT THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY'S NEWEST INNOVATION
C HRIS G IANCAMILLI
M EDIA M ANAGER
3D is now in the palm of your
hand, since Nintendo recently released their new 3DS handheld
gaming system. The 3DS features
3D without the need for any special glasses, as well as a number of upgrades to the system.
A new slider pad allows you
to control characters with an analog stick much like you would
on a home console. The system also features a new built-in
motion sensor and gyroscope,
giving gamers the ability to
manipulate the game through
tilting and shaking the 3DS.
The system has two screens,
much like its predecessor, the DS.
However, the top screen is an adjustable 3D screen and the bottom
is a touch screen. The 3D slider to
the right of the top screen allows
users to change the depth of the 3D.
The 3DS. comes packed with
11 applications. The camera app
takes 3D pictures with the system's dual cameras mounted on
the back of the device. The "Face
Raiders" app uses photos of people you've taken and places their
faces on in-game enemies. The
3DS also features a "Mii Maker"
app, so users can create avatars,
or "Miis," usable in games such
as "PilotWings Resort." Gamers
may also place the Miis in the
"StreetPass Mii Plaza," which
exchanges Mii data with other
3DS systems in the area. The
Nintendo eShop also returns, in a
future update, to allow gamers to
purchase classic Nintendo titles.
Currently, the 3DS has 16
games available for purchase including "Super Street Fighter IV,"
"Madden NFL 11," "PilotWings
Resort," "The Sims 3" and "Lego
Star Wars ID: The Clone Wars."
Nostalgic gamers can also expect the release of updated older
games over the next few months
such as "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time," "Metal Gear Solid:
Snake Eater" and "Star Fox 64."
The Nintendo 3DS system currently costs $249.99,
with games priced at $39.99
at most electronics retailers.

According to Merriam-Webster's

presents an opportunity to express concerns and find solutions.
With the term equity now defined, previous knowledge about
social justice and equity issues

I NTERNET "KILL SWITCH" LEGISLATION BACK O N TABLE
THREAT OF CYBER TERRORISM INFLUENCING LAWMAKERS
JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
r | l he revolution occurring in Egypt is sendX ing waves of change
across much of the world, and
the United States is not immune.
Days before the protests and
riots started, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak effectively
shut off the Internet to the entire
country, the rationale being, "Kill
the Internet, kill the dissent."
While, ultimately, the shutdown
of the Internet failed to suppress
the protesters, it did spark some
new controversy in the U.S.
Senator Susan Collins, the
ranking Republican of the homeland security and Governmental
Affairs committee, first introduced an Internet "kill switch"
bill in December of last year. "The
bill is designed to protect against
'significant' cyber threats before
they cause damage," Collins said.
Much of the popular news surrounding this "kiil switch" bill
suggests that the president will be
given the power to entirely shut
off the Internet in the U.S. The
true objective of the bill, while not
as Orwellian as initially believed,
still gives a large amount of power to the president. The bill, if
passed, will give President Barack
Obama, or any president hereafter, the power to "demand turning
off access to so-called 'critical
infrastructure' where necessary."
Many of the supporters of
the bill are coming under flak
for previous comments decrying Egypt's misuse of power
when shutting off the Internet.
With the reintroduction of the
"kill switch" bill, Senator Joe
Lieberman has also shown his
support through a statement released earlier in the week. "We
would never sign on to legislation that authorized the president,
or anyone else, to shut down the
Internet. Emergency or not, the
exercise of such broad authority would be an affront to our
Constitution," Liberman said.
The statement failed to cover
the fact that a provision in the
bill will forbid the courts from
reviewing any decision by the
president to shut off the Internet.
While there is indeed cause for
concern, the bill has many hurdles
to jump before becoming law.
With the reemergence of the
bill, many civil liberty groups
have publicly spoken out against
the proposed legislation. Wired
has reported "About two dozen
groups, including the American
Civil Liberties Union, the American Library Association, Electronic Frontier Foundation and Center
for Democracy and Technology
were skeptical enough to file an
open letter opposing the idea."

EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT HOSNI MUBARAK RESIGNS
COUNTRY'S VP ANNOUNCES TRANSITIONAL PERIOD
PHILIP MYKEL FLORES
NEWS EDITOR
A fter numerous pro/ \ tests and continued
JL JLcrisis in the streets of
Egypt, Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak resigned last Friday,
Feb. 11 and handed over the much
needed power to the military after 30 years in power. Cheers
and applause exploded among
the streets of Cairo as thousands
listened to the one-minute announcement televised on state
television by Vice President
Omar Suleiman confirming the
resignation of Mubarak. He also
announced that Supreme Council
of the Armed Forces will "run the
affairs of the country," proceeding the resignation of Mubarak.
Chants such as "God is great"
and "Egypt is free" echoed the
streets of Cairo, while others
cheered and waved the coutry's
flag as the people of Egypt finally reached a moment long
awaited throughout the uprising.
As Egypt continues its struggle to achieve democracy, it is
known that in order for the country to become stable, it must work
on improving many of the country's democratic institutions. For
now, with the help of the military, people in Egypt will remain
safe as the country strives to rebuild itself and its government.

CSUSM SCHOOL SHOOTING SCARE
EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM PUT TO THE TEST
BEN DEARINGER
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Columbine, Virginia Tech
and University of Texas are all
schools that are notoriously
known for school shootings and
will forever be remembered. On
Nov. 4, 2010, students thought
that California State University San Marcos was going to
be added to that infamous list
after the emergency response
system was sounded and the
campus was swarming with policemen in just minutes. With a
lockdown in effect and students
unaware of what was happening, all judgments were made
based on rumors floating around
different social media sites.
Ending up just being a class
play that a student oversaw
and perceived as a threat, the
CSUSM campus got to see first
hand what happens when the
emergency response protocol
takes effect. "Students must always recognize the emergency
system and react as if it is a real
emergency every time, no exceptions," Bruce Bradley ¡said, occupational safety and environmental health specialist for CSUSM.
Bradley recommends all students be prepared for any possible threat on campus and follow all directions provided by
faculty and emergency personnel. He stated that "it is very important for people to develop two
mindsets in these days of "unthinkable potential" events; get
prepared and stay prepared and
always think you will survive no
matter the circumstances, being
tough mentally is as important
as being physically fit to be able
to perform well in emergencies."
When asked about his reaction to learning that the campus
threat was false, Bradley responded, "At first I was thankful
that no one was hurt, followed
by, what were they thinking,
endangering people witîf a clear
knowledge of the potential consequences is juvenile thinking."
Since that incident, there have
been three additional situations
where fake or simulated firearms
have been brought onto our cam-
pus . While none of the other three
incidents resulted in a full scale
response, all such incidents have
the potential to endanger our
campus community stated a recent press release from the campus Office of Commumication.
"Bringing a weapon, even a toy
weapon, to campus is a violation
of university policy. University
Police should always be notified
if an unusual activity is planned
that may be a cause for concern,"
President Karen Haynes said.

COmPflRinG THE TOP THREE TfißLET COfïlPUTERS
CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
MEDIA MANAGER
When the iPad was released
in April 2010, consumers and
tech geeks alike were certain of
one thing: competing companies
would do their best to develop
an "iPad killer." The iPad's release anniversary is only two
months away, and within the past
year a slew of devices have challenged its popularity. The Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Dell
Streak are currently the iPad's
biggest threats. Though these
devices are all tablet computers,
they each have distinct features
that can mean the difference
between a purchase or a pass.
The operating system is the
most obvious difference in these
devices. The iPad, starting at
$499, currently runs on Apple's
iOS 4.2.1 on AT&T and Verizon's
3G network. Apple's iPhone
arid iPod Touch also run on this
same operating system (which
can be a positive or negative aspect depending on your own experiences). Both the Samsung
Galaxy Tab, starting at $549
and the Dell Streak, moderately
priced around $200, run on the
Android operating system version 2.2 called Froyo. The Galaxy Tab is available on all carriers that offer 3G coverage. The
Streak is only available through
AT&T's 3G network. Consumers who already have Android
phones or iPhones might choose
their devices based on the operating systems or networks
they are already familiar with.
The iPad utilizes Apple's
popular App Store to bring users
the largest library of applications
to date. However, the Android
Market's growing fan base has
given Apple stiff competition.
While proponents of Apple and
Android have their disagreements
regarding which store is better,
a number of the most popular
apps can be found in both the Android Market and the App Store.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab and
the Dell Streak were designed for
portability. The Samsung features
a seven-inch display and the Dell
features a five-inch display. The
displays of both devices are in
widescreen, a component
ideal for watching movies. The iPad's display
is a whopping 9.7 inches
with a standard 4:3 aspect ratio. When choosing the right device, size
does matter. Though bigger does not always mean
better. The Streak can be
a handy tablet that fits in
most any purse or large
pocket, whereas the iPad
can serve as a light laptop replacement suitable
for backpack storage.
Each device has attractive features to set it
apart from the other two.
According to endgadget.
com, the Streak is the
only one of the three with
the ability to make phone
calls and send texts, allowing it to serve as a

phone replacement.
The Galaxy Tab
and the Streak have
front facing cameras,
giving them videochatting capabilities.
Both the Samsung
and the Dell feature
cameras while the
current iPad model
does not. However,
the iPad does have
three different models with varying storage sizes; the largest
is 64 gigabytes. The
Samsung has a 16 gigabyte model and 32
gigabyte model with a microSD
slot allowing for more memory.
The Dell has only one 2 gigabyte model with a microSD slot.

mainstream market, consum-
ers can expect to see more devices in the coming year with Bottom left: Samsung Galaxy

�BLACK HISTORY M ONTH
C E L E B R A T I N G A C H I E V E M E N T , T ALENT, H OPE
ALEXIS POLLARD
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
February is Black History
Month, a time set aside that recognizes and appreciates all aspects of black history and culture.
According to biography.com,
the origins of the prideful observance began in the 1920s with
the determination of Dr. Carter
G. Woodson, the second black
student at Harvard University,
and with the fraternity Omega Psi
Phi's creation of Negro History
and Literature Week. Woodson
chose the month of February to
celebrate black history in recognition of Abraham Lincoln, who
was born on Feb. 12 and issued
the Emancipation Proclamation, also to acknowledge the
abolitionist Frederick Douglass
whose birthday falls on Feb. 14.
Leaders in black history, such
as the influential civil rights
movement icon Martin Luther
King Jr., influential civil rights
icon; Barack Obama, the first
African-American U.S. president,
and Jtsse Owens, the talented
track star have achieved worldwide recognition for their accomplishments. However, Black
History Month is more than just

a reserved time to reflect on past
achievements. The observance
focuses on celebration, encouraging African-American historical research and garnering
inspiration for culture's future.
Popular media celebrates
Black History Month nationwide. The entertainment television channel MTV provides
coverage and stories of AfricanAmerican musicians and icons,
such as Rosa Parks, throughout
the month of February. Black
ican Faculty and Staff Association (AAFSA) hosts various
events to honor Black History
Month. The association holds a
Black History Trivia contest, in
which winners respond to questions throughout February via
email and have the opportunity
to win gift cards. More information is on the CSUSM website under "News and Events."
Both active participation with
on and off-campus organizations and indulgence in learning about Black History Month
on television and on the Internet
allows for an appreciation of
history and accomplishments.
Many movements, rights and
entertainment have changed
lives and the course of American history, so Black History
Month shouldn't be overlooked.
As time passes, more AfricanAmericans and their talents add
to the long list of historically significant events, but as for 2011,
those who celebrate black history must embrace the past and
present, and express hope for a

were colorful condoms of

there were flavored condoms and even some that

health services provided through
SHCS: clinic visits, counseling services, flu shots and other
vaccines, women's health exams
and more. Tuition also includes
a $25 health facilities fee that
pays for rent and maintenance of
the SHCS clinic at PPH, located
across the street from campus
at 120 Craven Road, Suite 100.
Students may consult with a
doctor, ijurse practitioner, nurse,
counselor, or the health educator.
Visits to the clinic or counselor
require no co-payment. Minimal
fees are charged for psychiatric
services, certain physical exams,
laboratory or radiology tests,
and prescriptions. According to
their website, SHCS "strivefs]
to promote services and health
education designed to prevent
and resolve health problems that
may interfere with student retention and success." With that goal
in mind, SHCS sponsors events
each semester. Coming up on
Feb. 22 at noon in Mark 102 is

Cathy Nguyen said she enjoys
working in a "nontraditional environment" as Health Educator for
SHCS. One of the reasons SHCS
offers their services to students
is because it is important
for students to have access to free medical care,
Nguyen said. "This is
my passion," she added.
Nguyen's job title describes her duty to educate
students about health issues and healthy lifestyle
choices, but the job itself
encompasses a wide range
of tasks from organizing events to helping students with class projects.
Nguyen's office is located
in the Hope and Wellness Center at 120 Craven Road, Suite 108, next
door to the SHCS clinic.

The circus came to town on
Thursday morning,, but not to
the Convention Center, not to
Qualcomm Stadium, not even to
an empty parking lot. This time
the circus came to the artificial
turf of a football field, on the
campus of a local high school.
Several dozen media members and guests from around the
country converged on Cathedral
Catholic High School in Del
Mar, gathering to watch Cam
Newton throw a football. Newton, this year's NCAA football
Heisman Trophy winner—the
best player in college football—
came to San Diego in January
to work with local quarterback
coach George Whitfield, Jr.
Whitfield prepares young
quarterbacks for the college game,
traveling with them to major colleges around the country making
connections with coaches and
scouts. This fall, when NFL quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was
cames
trophv
ra
räum
Vinnen
suspended for thefirstfour games
of the season, he chose Whitfield
to help Jrim stay in game shape.
Newton needed Whitfield to help
him transition from the college
"spread" offense to the style of
the National Football League.
Warren Moon, hall of fame
quarterback and mentor to Newton, said on Thursday that he
had directed Cam's father Cecil
Newton to Whitfield. Before college, Cecil had supposedly peddled Cam to play for Mississippi
State University in exchange for
$200,000. The NCAA decided
Cam had not known about it. The
son went unpunished, and Cecil
agreed not to attend the national
championship game. After Cam
led his Auburn Tigers to victory,
Cecil was photographed embracing his son. A representative of
the family said he had watched
the game outside the stadium.
Fast forward to Thursday
morning: the event was meant to
mimic Whitfield's normal workouts with Cam, meant to prove
that the kid could play professionally. After over a hundred of
holds
us toting cameras, notebooks and
voice recordersfiledonto the field,
Newton played parts of a pretend
game of football with twelve
young men his age, all from
Southwestern* College in Chula
Vista. Whitfield calmly directed
Cam as he tossed them passes,
avoided their half-hearted rushes, fired footballs between them
as they posed as defenders and
jokingly offered them Icy-Hot.
Meanwhile, as NFL legend
Moon watched from the sidelines, Cecil Newton went unseen.
Though made from the mold of
omnipresent, caring sports fathers like those of Tiger Woods
and Venus and Serena Williams,
scandal had turned Cecil into a
shadow figure. Surely enough,
shadows loomed behind the
windows of the press box overlooking the hoards of spectators.
"We had over 300 media
requests, and we had to deny
250 of them," James Woo,
Whitfield's Director of Operations and Cal State San Marcos
student, said. "We're talking
about a lot of powerful people
seáis su
that made the time to come see
Cam Newton throw a football."
The list included Trent Dilfer, former NFL quarterback
and current ESPN commentator. Dilfer, known as one of the
sports media's harshest critics,
seemed skeptical about Cam
Newton before the event. After
Cam showed off, Dilfer couldn't
stop gushing. "That was phenomenal...if scouts saw this, they'd
have been slobbering," he said.
According to Whitfield, the
idea for the event had been jointly
created by father and son, wishing to build momentum entering
the pre-draft combine: workouts
in front of team scouts. "Mr.
Newton is still a human being and
a dad," Woo said. "Wouldn't you
do the same thing for your son?"
No one could blame Cecil
Newton for shying away from
the field on Thursday. For perhaps the event had a second purpose: guiding the family's wish to
move on from scandal and focus
on Cam Newton's future. If so, at
least temporarily, it succeeded.

\ New mural recruits students and community to participate in 'diversity7
MELANIE SLOCUM
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The Student Arts Association is working with the Visual
& Performing Arts (VPA) 181
class to plan, propose and paint
a mural at the University Village Apartments on campus.
CSUSM recently created VPA
181, a class dedicated to learning
the process involved with the conceptualization, collaboration and
creation of a large-scale mural.
For this project, students, artist and CSUSM professor Doris
Bittar and artist Isaias Crow work
to develop a work of art for the
UVA. Crow pursues to mesh his
unique artistic qualities with civic
engagement programs to bring
communities together through art.
To ensure community inclusion , the artists invited members of
the surrounding San Marcos community to participate in the project and work alongside CSUSM
students and faculty to represent the aspects of diversity that
make up CSUSM's community.
The mural is still in its
early planning stages. Students, faculty and community
members search to pinpoint
what it means to be a member of the CSUSM community.
"We want to represent us
students, you know, really capture the heart of Cal State San
Marcos, and we're still searching to find out exactly what that
means," CSUSM student participant Brittany Galante said.
To answer that question,
Galante and other project members set off to interview students
from all corners of campus, invoking questions about what it
means to be a member of the
CSUSM community and what
makes CSUSM so unique. The
CSUSM community offered
words such as "diversity," "inspiration" and "passion." These
words serve as a sneak peak
into what the mural will convey.
The project leaders divided members of the project
into groups, where each group

proposed ideas for the mural. Then, each group presented their ideas to the rest of the
project members and leaders.
Now, Crow and Professor Bittar can amalgamate ideas from
each group into one cohesive
mural design. The conceptualizing process of the mural represents the community because it
aims to portray multiple groups
of people and ideas that aim to
unite and improve our campus.
The mural's location will be
inside the lobby of the "UVA.
Since the project's leaders and
members want an accurate account of CSUSM student life,
they plan to take a careful amount
of time to propose their vision.
Participants' actual painting of
the mural is set to start later this
semester. Soon, the mural will
greet CSUSM students and residents with an aim to make them
feel even more accepted and included in the CSUSM community.

�COMIC C ON GLITCH
BADGES SELL OUT FASTER THAN EXPECTED LEAVING THOUSANDS OF FANS IN THE LURCH
MORGAN HALL
LAYOUT ASSISTANT
San Diego's 41-annual
Comic-Con takes place the
weekend of July 21 - 24, but
those who have not purchased
tickets yet are out of luck.
In a matter of seven hours, individual day and four-day badges to
the 2011 Comic-Con convention
completely sold out. This year's
convention sellout is an impressive milestone compared to the
2009 convention, which sold out
of badges in roughly six months
and last year's convention, which
sold out in just two months.
Since Nov. 2, 2010, Comic
Con attempted to sell badges online to fans twice, but both times,
two different sites experienced
high amounts of traffic at selling
time and crashed before fans purchased any passes. Three months
later, relieved fans heard a new
site called TicketLeap felt confident their site could sell the badges without overcapacity. Tick-
etLeap guaranteed their site to
handle a simultaneous amount of
thousand people on the site without crashing. Fans relief turned
into pure frustration at 9:05 a.m.,
when the TicketLeap site sent out
error messages saying, "We'll
be right back. TicketLeap is currendy down for maintenance,"
and, "We are currently over capacity, and the site will be back
momentarily." Fans felt defeated
by the new site, especially after
TicketLeap's twitter page read,
"If you see an over capacity mes-
sage, hit refresh. We are under
heavy loadrightnow and it should
smooth out." After continuously
hitting refresh buttons in different stages, some buyers slowly
made their way through the pass
purchasing process. TicketLeap
averaged that fans requested the
site 400,000 times per minute.
Comic-Con will not disappoint the fans who defeated the
ticket purchasing process. This
year's convention features a large
amount of comic book and sci-fi/
fantasy blockbusters slated for
release through 2011 and 2012.
The movies "Thor," "Captain
America" and "Transformers,"
premiere later this year, so directors will speak on their films
at the convention. Comic-Con
may highlight films slated to
premiere in 2012, such as "The
Avengers" and the much-anticipated "The Dark Knight Rises."

21 ANNUAL SAN DIEGO JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL
BROADENING OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
ASHLEY DAY
FEATURES EDITOR
For the past 21 years, San
Diego's Jewish community celebrated the history and experience
of Jews with films based on Jewish obstacles and lifestyle. The
San Diego Jewish Film Festival
portrays the Jewish experience in
the form of contemporary films.
Our campus also offers a
course on the Jewish culture.
This semester, the class, History
383: Women and Jewish History,
taught by Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall,
surveys Jewish culture and the
roles women partake in, as Jews.
Dr. Sepinwall requires History 383
students to attend a film from the
San Diego Jewish Film Festival.
"The festival tries to bring
to life the diversity of the Jewish experience around the
Photo courtesy of lQcc.org
world," Dr. Sepinwall said.
Everyone understands the
struggles the Jewish community endured throughout documented history, but the festival
picks films that shed new light
on different realities Jews faced.
"Tfle films range from Holocaust themes to...Jewish in
American baseball and in the
Civil War. The films also focus
on universal issues like teenage
angst, feminism and childhood
memories," Dr. Sepinwall added.
One film premiering at this
year's festival is the French
made, "La Rafle." In English, "La
Rafle" translates to "The Round
Up." The film showcases the true
story of French Jewish refugees
being 'rounded up' to go to the
horrible Eastern European internment camps of World War II.
Dr. Laurance Baron, Nasitir
professor of modern Jewish history, opened the film with a few
words. Dr. Baron spoke of the
history of Jews in France, reminding the audience that France
was the first country to grant
Jews equal rights. "La Rafle,"
reveals the travesty of these
equal rights being rescinded.
The spoken language of the
film is mostly French, but audience members quickly adjust to
reading English subtitles. "La
Rafle" is beautifully composed
of rich scenes that propel you
into 1940s France. Themes of
loss, gender, importance of family and human atrocity against
each other capture the hearts of
the viewer. French actors Jean
Reno and Melanie Laurent portray medical physicians, who
care for Jewish children while
they wait to be shipped off to die.
"La Rafle" is one of 40 plus
films featured at the 2011 festival. Anyone interested in
learning more about Jewish
culture or more on life is welcome to attend the festival.
"The festival has always been
really welcoming to CSUSM
students," Dr. Sepinwall said.
"Students in History 383 and
other classes have been offered
free tickets, thanks to
the festival and the
Leichtag Family Foundation," she added.
The San Diego Jewish Film Festival runs
from Feb. 10 - 20.
This year, the festival
added three new venues
in Clairemont, Carlsbad and
conveniently at the Edwards San
Marcos Stadium 18, along with
their existing venues in La Jolla
and Mission Valley. Actors
and directors from
the films
and guest speakers precede or
follow most^ of the presentations, so you may get a chance
to speak to them. For more information, visit www.sdjff.org

Photo courtesy ofkcrw.com
thousands of songs with no qualms
about how their redistribution
might affect, well, everything,
I imagine artists create albums
with the idea that they will be listened to in their entirety. Therefore, I abstain from shuffling.
With that said, you
will note that I was
outside my head the
other day, as my iPod
was indeed on shuffle.
Serving as background
noise as meaningless
as strangers' conversations, the random selections warranted no
particular feelings. I
know my music well,
so when a song came
on that I hadn't instantly recognized, I didn't
quite know what to do.
A glance at my iPod's
display read: Joseph
Arthur and the Lonely
Astronauts, "Faith."
Joseph Arthur began writing music as
a teenager. The Ohio-
based musician dabbled in electrónica before discovering his
signature guitar-centric style.
In the early 90s, Arthur signed
to Peter Gabriel's record label,
Real World Records. After five
studio albums, Arthur decided
to keep his touring band around
for albums six and seven, and
establish his own label, Lonely
Astronaut Records. His latest
release, "Temporary People,"
includes musicians Sibyl Buck,
Kraig Jarret Johnson, Jennifer
Turner, and Greg Wieczorek.
I clumsily paused the song
to see if I could compel any
more information out of the
slight electronic. I had the entire album, but this Joseph Arthur sounded almost nothing like
the guy I fell in love with after
hearing "In the Sun" off 2000's
"Come to Where I 'm From."
I slipped a little further out
of my head listening to Arthur's
haunted voice on "Faith." His
grainy vocal offsets nearly cheerful guitar riffs and cymbal-thick
drums. "Faith comes in little
waves," Arthur offers with a bit
of optimism, as "the pain is what
makes you believe." The Lonely Astronauts' chorus punches
through the heavy-handed instrumentation with bright belts
of affirmation making the song's
mood more buoyant than glum.
Now that my brain is square
between my ears, I may confidently propose that to shuffle
is to discover. I am in no way
convinced that this happy bit of
chance absolves any of the aforementioned offenses, but I supposé music's value surfaces when
it is listened to rather than heard.
Arthur's upcoming tour schedule includes three dates in Los
Angeles at the Bootleg Theater,
'Feb. 15, 22, and March 1. Arthur is also performing at Indio's
classic music festival, C oachella^
as a member of the band Fistful
of Mercy with fellow musicians
Ben Harper and Dhani Harrison.

This adds more than $3,333 to
the debt burden of graduate and

The proposal by President
Obama comes three days after
the House Republicans suggested
to lower the maximum award of
$5,550 to $4,015 a move Kantrowitz describes as "...part
of a larger package of budget
cuts that seek to cut spending
by $100 billion for the remainder of the current fiscal year."
These significant changes
mean that CSUSM can potentially face losing around $7.2
million in tuition. The institution
plans to send congress a joint letter signed by three other university presidents urging congress
not to approve any cuts. Vaughan
also recommends that students

Watchers of CNN last week
saw that President Barack Obama,
along with House Republicans,
have each proposed separate budget plans for the 2011-12 fiscal
year that, if approved, would include initiatives to cut the federal
Pell Grant program. Currently the
program faces a $20 billion deficit.
The budget posted on the
White House website explains
that the president's cuts would
eliminate the in-school interest
subsidy for graduate students
and limit the total number of recipients receiving year-round
aid, while the House cuts would
reduce the total maximum
amount of the aid. The leaders
have introduced their respective
plans to address the program's
deficit, and CSUSM officials say
that both plans have the potential to affect CSUSM students.
$3,240 in 2011-12, a total decrease of $2,310. To avoid this, the
president is proposing to cut other
student aid funding such as yearround Pell Grants and subsidized
interest on student loans to graduate and professional students.
"Under the president's proposal, the maximum award
would remain at $5,550 while
cuts would be made in other
areas. The year-round benefit
typically only affects for-profit
colleges, which are more likely to have students studying
year-round without a summer
break," explains Kantrowitz.
Eliminating the in-school interest subsidy will likely have a greater impact on CSUSM students as
education begins to cost more.
Kantrowitz writes, "...losing
the subsidized interest benefit will
add $1,676 to each $8,500 loan
balance by the time the student en-
interested in taking action against
these cuts "[F]irst and foremost
contact their representatives and
let them know that students have
a voice and that they be heard."
CSUSM Official statement:
We are deeply concerned about
the proposed cuts to Pell Grants
and both the short and longer
impact these cuts would have on
our students and our region. Well
over 3,000 CSUSM students receive Pell Grants to fund their
college education. Without Pell
Grants, a large number of students may not have the means
to continue their college education denying our region a pool
of skilled and educated workers.

the viewer uncomfortable in
their choices of characters, jokes
and plotlines. Louis CK, Lewis
Black, Patton Oswalt and other
popular comics thrive on jokes
similar to those in The Koala.
In my twelfth semester of college (yes, twelfth), I have never
seen a campus so alive with passion and debate, not to mention
finally a dash of the tomfoolery I
expected (a la "Animal House," a
film that pioneered modern rebellious comedy). But some members of the CSUSM faculty and
student body feel that, as The Koala violates the school's mission,
the publication should be shut
down. It does not. It should not.
The administration is right to
cite the First Amendment and
allow the distribution of The
Koala on campus. Hate speech
must be supported by a legitimate criminal threat to violence,
and The Koala members have
no more history of violent acts
than the creators of South Park.
While lessons in morality are
honorable, students are here to
earn degrees and, in turn, make
more money. CSUSM's largest
major, Business Administration,
exists to maximize profit. The
paper's content is unpolished,
could be funnier and less crass,
but considering what sells in
the comedy world, perhaps The
Koala's writers are Cougars who
are actually applying themselves.

With the Kellogg Library being five floors high and nearly
200,000 square feet, some might
feel that the library is too confusing and won't take the time
to explore what the Cal State
San Marcos library has to offer.
Students who do take the
time to check it out will discover a wealth of resources and
a friendly staff that is eager to
help you with any questions.
Construction for the Kellogg
Library began in 1996 and ended in 2004. It bears the name of
multi-million dollar donors Jean
and W. Keith Kellogg II. Today,
The Kellogg Library is home to
roughly 300,000 volumes, print
subscriptions, e-journal titles,
computer files and e-book titles.
The library's website, http://
biblio.csusm.edu/, contains research databases, an online
card catalog and a live librarian chat, among other services.
Only accessible by the elevator or the stairwell next to Starbucks, thefirstfloorof the library
contains the Math Lab, Writing
Center, and several classrooms.
Most students call the first floor
the "dungeon" because there are
no windows and it is darker than
the rest of thefloors.Because it is
partially underground, cell phone
service on thisfloorcan be weak.
The secondfloorof the library
can be most easily accessed from
the outside doors next to Craven Circle. This particular floor
is home to the media library, the
student help desk and the open
computer lab. The media library
has over 10,000 pieces of "media" and can provide DVDs,
CDs, VHS tapes and even film
editing equipment for research
or recreational use. This section
of the library has several conference rooms equipped with
TVs and media playing devices.
Directly across from the me-*
dia library is the Student Help
Desk where students can rent
out laptops and other media de-
vices for several hours. They
also have separate media rooms
available on a first-come-firstserved basis to students who
are not media or arts majors.
The thirdfloorof the library is
likely most familiar to students.
This floor is the library's central
"hub" where students can check
out books or use the reference
materials. There are seventy-eight
computers that students may use
for research or printing documents. Students can purchase
and load print cards on the third
and the second floors. The third
floor lobby hosts a gallery of student art throughout the semester.
The fourth and fifth floors
are very similar to each other.
Both floors contain most of the
library's books, have multiple
desks around the outer edges
and contain group study rooms.
It is possible to get lost easily on
these twofloorsbecause there are
multiple directions of books and
several relaxing coves with comfy chairs throughout the floors.
On the fifth floor, the Reading Room is a perfect place for
relaxing, reading, and working. Lighted tables, several
sofas, and a fireplace add a
unique and calming ambiance to this room in the library.
For those willing to look
around, the Kellogg Library
truly is an indispensable resource for CSUSM students.

�HOME REMEDIES TO EASE FLU SYMPTOMS
FIGHT T HE FLU NATURALLY
MELANIE SLOCUM
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
It's flu season just in time for
midterms. If you suffer from
needle-phobia and avoided a
flu shot this season, have no
fear. There are a few home remedies that might make your
illness a tad more bearable.
You've probably sedh the
seemingly awkward commercials for nasal irrigation devices
like the Neti Pot (if you haven't,
you should definitely Youtube
it) where a person pours nasal
saline solution from a teapot
lookalike in one nostril and the
liquid inexplicably flows out the
other. Even though this might
seem alien to you, WebMD.com
reports that studies show nasal
irrigation works as an "effec-
tive home remedy" by relieving
nasal flu symptoms and removing bacteria and virus particles.
In addition to the commonly
known remedies such as getting a lot of rest, slurping down
chicken noodle soup and eating
cough drops like they're M&Ms,
Learninginfo.org suggests drinking ginger tea, eating foods
with a lot of garlic and avoiding dairy products. That same
website also suggests that drinking "honey mixed with a quarter
teaspoon of cinnamon powder
taken daily for three days will
help when you have that nagging cough." This will help you
sit through your classes without
coughing over your professor's
voice or onto your neighbor.
If you're developing a Kermit
the Frog voice due to clogged nasal passages, WebMD.com also
suggests using a humidifier
to relieve your sore throat
and ease your nasal congestion. If you don't own a
humidifier and already took
your daily shower, boiling
water over the stove and
draping a towel over your
head while closing your
eyes and breathing deeply
into your nose for 30 seconds creates the same effect.
Remember, you're not a
superhero. Allow others to
take care of you by bringing
you soup, joining you for a
nice couch potato session,
or tucking you into bed. If
a friend or family member
is willing to help you, take
advantage of it and appreciate the rest you receive from
their care—maybe just offer
them a mask and gloves first.

�The 'White Uose memoriaC
Commemorating the sacrifice for freedom
MALLANE DRESSEL
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Feb. 22, marks the 68 anniversary of the execution
of the White Rose resistance
group's
founding members.
The group, comprised of German students and professors,
came together in hopes of restoring the personal freedoms that
Hitler's regime smothered during
World War n . Their non-violent
resistance included distributing
pamphlets they wrote advocating tolerance and justice. Holocaustresearchproject.org
states
that in 1943, the young White
Rose members were swiftly tried
and executed for treason under the Peoples Court in Berlin.
CSUSM remembers their commitment to liberty with a White
Rose memorial on the north side
of the Arts building. Since it was
planted in 2003, the white rosebush encourages passersby to
continue the White Rose legacy of solidarity. Students may
water it from the bucket located at the base of the plaque.
One of the group's only surviving members, Dr. George
Wittenstein, selected a quote
from the German philosopher
Johan Gottlieb Fitçhe for the memorial's plaque. It reads, "And
you should act as though all
things German depended solely
upon you and upon your actions
and as though the responsibility were yours and yours alone."

On Saturday, Cal State San
Marcos finished off their extensive opening season doubleheader against Redlands,
dropping the first game 5-2
before outlasting the Bulldogs in a marathon, 19-15.
In the first half, the Cougars
jumped out to a 1st inning lead
when Derrisha Lacey crossed
the plate on a double steal, and
got another run in the 2nd on
a double by Heavin-Lee Rodriguez. But Redlands would
put up 6 runs on CSUSM
ace Brenna Sandberg, while
Bulldogs pitcher Kayla Uphold shut down the Cougars
for the remaining innings.
The second game looked to
be all CSUSM going into the
bottom half of the 7th, as they
led 19-8. The Bulldogs gave the
Cougars a scare in the inning,
though, scoring 8 before Sarah
Beeman tried to stretch a double
into a triple and was thrown
out. Rodriguez went 5-for-5
with 5 RBI in the game, while
Alex Miller went 4-for-4 with
3 doubles, 4 runs and 4 RBI.

THE PRIDE
FOR
Spring training a desert vacation destination
MICHAEL RAWSON
SPORTS EDITOR
Be they diehard baseball
fans, bandwagoners or merely
fans of hot sun and a good time,
gather up the friends, relatives
and kids and head East to Arizona: It's time for spring training.
Every year before Opening
Day, Major League Baseball
players pack their cleats and bats
and head to one of two warm
American locales to train for the
real season. While traveling to
Florida—where fifteen teams,
such as the New York Yankees
and Boston Red Sox, prepare for
the year—may be unrealistic,
Southern California teams play
in our neighboring state. The
Padres share the Peoria Sports
Complex with the Seattle Mariners in Peoria, the Angels play
at Diablo Stadium in Tempe,
and the Dodgers go halves at
Camelback Ranch in Glendale
with the Chicago White Sox.
Getting to Phoenix couldn't be
easier: Head south from CSUSM
to Interstate-8 and go East. Past
Yuma, both the 85 North and 95
North will run into Interstate-10.
The I-10 East runs through
the center of all playing fields.
The hometown Padres head
into this spring training with
much heavier expectations than
last year. Picked by most critics to finish in last place before
the season, the Friars rode their
excellent pitching and wizardry
on defense to finish within two
games of the playoffs last year,
falling on the last day to the
eventual World Series champion San Francisco Giants.
Several new faces will be on
hand in Peoria this year. Wily
veteran Orlando Hudson joins
the infield, while youngsters Ja-
son Bartlett and Cameron Maybin look to make their mark on
the starting lineup. Old-timers
Aaron Harang, Ryan Ludwick
and Brad Hawpe have their sights
set on returning to All-Star form.
Spring training runs from the
last weekend in February to end
of March. Several games are
played every day. Occasionally,
teams divide into "split squads,"
with half the roster playing at
home, and half the roster playing
an away game against a different
team.- If planned right, fans can
see two games played by their
favorite team and simultaneously experience different venues.
Teams have historically kept
ticket prices low for spring training, and while the ceiling has recently gone skyward, dirt-cheap
entry can still be had. Luxury
tickets at brand-new Camelback
Ranch are $45 ,but most parks offer
lawn seating for between $5-$ 10.
Reserving room reservations in advance always keeps
the price low, but lodging can
always be found at a reasonable price. Road-trippers with
deep pockets can take advantage
of deals like the "Steal Third"
deal at the plush Wigwam Resort: Reserve two nights, get
one free. Of course, the first two
nights run at around $250 each.
Nothing during the regular
season compares with spring
training in terms of interactivity. Players are closer and more
available for autographs, and
often stop to casually converse
with fans. The atmosphere relaxes, the grub satisfies and the
beer flows as it rightly should.
Combined with the sunshine and
the crack of the bat, nothing beats
spring training for Spring Break.

Kretchmer throws 6 no-hit innings in return to the mound
KYLE TREMBLEY
C ONTRIBUTOR
Matt Kretchmer threw six innings of no-hit ball as Cal State
San Marcos baseball snapped a
short losing streak on Friday, defeating Azusa Pacific 3-1 at home.
CSUSM improves to 7-5 on
the year. Azusa drops to 6-4. The
second game of Friday's scheduled double-header was rained
out, but the cloudy skies did
nothing to dampen the spirit of
the CSUSM Cougars, who were
anxious to get back in the win
column after four straight losses.
Kretchmer was the story, as
the tall lefty turned in a no-hit effort that was only halted by a high
pitch count and a little wildness.
The senior walked six and a ctu^

five and silenced Azusa's bats. He

1997:
Bob and Ruth Mangrum donate a generous amount toward the construction of
an Olympic size soccer, field and track course for CSUSM. Key figures in this time period include Dr. Steven Nichole, CSUSM'
first athletic director and Debbie Dale, the driving
and "team mom" of Cougar Athletics. Steve Scott,
the greatest mile runner in American history, be
came the program's first cross-country and track
coach and still holds that position today.
1990:
Men's and women's golf, cross-country
and track and field were first introduced
as official intercollegiate sports and
the first year of construction began
on the Mangrum Track and Soccer Field. These "lifelong sports'
became the focus of Cougar
Athletics and the programs became almost instantly successful competing in the National
Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics (NAIA). From their
very first season of competition, the women's golf team
qualified for the NAIA National Championships and
has continued to do so every year since. Overall, between 1998 and 2005, all four
of our team sports men's and
women's golf, men's and women's cross-country finished in

He drew a walk, promptly stole
second and third, and scored on a
solid Ryle Parks base hit to center.
Smart worked around an error
to finish out the contest, getting
help from first baseman Austin
Coleman, who made a very nice
over-the-shoulder catch in foul
territory on the game's final out.
The second game lasted two
innings before being rained out.
That game will be scrapped, and
the two teams will play again
on Monday at Azusa Pacific in
a single game starting at 3 p.m.

�SAN DIEGO'S MUSEUM MONTH
CELEBRATES BALBOA PARK
RYAN D OWNS
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
Throughout
February, San Diego celebrates
museum month by offering special pricing to
40 participating museums around the county.
Culture, history and art
thrive in Balboa Park's rich
educational atmosphere and
now can all be enjoyed at a
discounted price with Macy's museum month pass.
With this pass, tickets are available at halfoff original admission
prices for all participating
museums in San Diego.
Some of the biggest
features include the San
Diego Natural History Museum, Hall of Champions
Sports Museum, Air and
Space Museum, Museum
of Man and Museum of Art.
A
complete
list
can be found at sandiegomuseumcouncil .org.
Macy's
department
stores offers this free mu-
seum month pass at its San
Diego County, Temecula or
Imperial Valley locations.
B alboa Park is the central
hub for all of San Diego's
fascinating museums, most
of which have suffered in
the wake of the recession.
This deal should especially interest younger college-age students-who may
have free time to spend
perusing San Diego's most
famous exhibits. This is
the best time of the year to
visit since museums generally become more crowded during the summer.
A public event like this
is probably welcome, even
if it does involve lowering the cost of tickets for
an entire month. If anything, this event appeals
to frequent museum patrons but may also appeal
to Macy's department
store customers as well.
Macy's also plays its
part to raise the museum's
popularity, as it may be
expected ; that customers
shopping at Macy's who
do not normally visit museums may become interested
in attending this event.
Museum month is a
unique opportunity for
average shoppers to help
support our local museums and experience some
fun spending a weekend
in historic Balboa Park.
The Balboa museums presented extensive
amounts of exciting programs recently, most notably an appearance by
famous astronaut, Buzz
Aldrin, at the Air and Space
Museum, which officially
kicked off museum month.
Aldrin's appearance presented the history and state
of space exploration. In addition, Aldrin autographed
copies of his books for fans.

KINGS OF
CONVENIENCE
s
AMY SALISBURY
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Two years ago, when I came up
with the title "Hits of Sunshine"
for this column, I intended the
"sunshine" part to indicate that
the following few paragraphs are
meant to bring a new light to one's
growing music repertoire. Maybe
the reason for my word choice
stemmed from creating it during
the cold, foggy days of mid-winter. Or maybe it was just because
I liked the Sonic Youth song.
With that said, my present
feelings tend toward lengthening
days and warmth. So, for whatever this batch of words turns into,
take "sunshine" as a little reminder that summer is never far away,
even during the coldest of February rain. Plus we're in southern California. We're spoiled.
One of the easiest conduc-
tors of mood is, arguably, music. It can take you to different
time, different places, and different situations entirely. Some
even call music their "escape."
Well, I currently care to escape
from the looming weather; therefore, with my above sunshine
and music library, I will turn to
"Gold in the Air of Summer."
Erlend 0 ye and Eirik Glambek B0e are the indie-driven,
folky duo known as Kings of
Convenience. 0 ye and B0e started performing together with two
friends at the age of 16 in their
first band called Skog, Norwegian for "forest." The duo split
from Skog to pursue a different musical direction, forming
Kings of Convenience and signing a record deal in 1999. Ever
since their first album, "Quiet
is the New Loud," the band has
been known for its parallels to
Simon and Garfunkel, and most
notably, its emotive qualities.
After much critical acclaim
for "Quiet is the New Loud," the
band released "Riot on
an Empty Street" in 2004. The
album broke into the US top 50
charts, but 0 ye and B0e managed to remain below the radar.
0 ye released some solo work
and started another band, The
Whitest Boy Alive, while B0e
focused on his personal life.
"Gold in the Air of Summer,"
off "Riot," begins with an acoustic quietly strumming until two
harmonized voices complement
the chords. 0 ye and B0e speak
of a spontaneous journey to a
"house that used to be / the home
of a friend of mine." Single piano
notes form a melody in front of
the guitar as a light Norwegian
accent flows through the English
words; without the music, the lyr-
ics read like a poem. The guitar
stops, leaving the voices to sing
the title a capella. The music returns and progresses like a warm
breeze would, coming to an almost cliffhanger of an ending.
After five years of waiting,
Kings of Convenience released
their newest album, "Declaration of Dependence," in early
October of 2010. 0 ye will appear with Whitest Boy Alive at
the Coachella Music Festival
in April of this year, and Kings
of Convenience are currently
in the process of rescheduling
tour dates after B0e fell ill during an east coast show according to an unofficial announcement on the band's MySpace.

A CHANGING PERSPECTIVE
D ONT ASK, D ONT TELL
MELANIE SLOCUM
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
On Dec. 17, 2010 the Senate
voted to repeal the 17-year-old
D on't Ask, D on't Tell (DADT)
policy, which prohibited the
LGBT community from serving openly in the military.
The act prohibited any openly
gay or lesbian service members
from being asked about their
sexual relationships and marriages and also banned LGBT
service members f rom telling
others about their sexual orientation. The repeal reflects the
federal government's
intention to make sexual orientation less taboo in the military.
The Senate's 65-30 vote on
the policy was preceded by the
House's vote of 250-175 on Dec.
16. Censure circulated through
Capitol Hill as Republicans and
Democrats debated the effectiveness of the policy and its constitutional alignment. Both California
senators Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein voted in favor of the
hailed as the most comprehensive electronic blackout in history, a plan Mr. Obama has not
only not decried but has reserved
for his own use in this country. As reports the UK's Daily
Mail, "under proposed new laws,
President Barack Obama would
have the power to cut access to
the Internet in the event of a cyber threat to national security."
While the law is couched in language designed to instill a fear
of "cyber terrorists" and other
threats, it is important to know
that both the Bush and Obama
Departments of Homeland Security define a terrorist as anyone
who, among other things, overtly
appeals to the "constitution."
Despite the governments attempt to stifle the uprising, Egypt

representatives Brian Bilbray (R50), Duncan Hunter (R-52), and
Darrell Issa (R-49) voted against
the repeal while representatives
Susan Davis (D-53) and Bob Filner (D-51) voted in favor of it.
The Don't Ask Don't Tell policy was met with slews of constitutional challenges and political
warfare during its 17 year run.

FROM, EGYPT, P.l
Egypt has never in its thousands of years had a democratic
government. Tadros reflects,
"Egyptians might not know what
democracy actually means, but
that does not make the concept
any less desirable. Perhaps it is
precisely its vagueness and abstraction that makes the concept
all the more desirable." Furthermore, a democracy is Egypt
would no doubt attract fringe
groups who will want to either
disrupt or join the party. General Peters acknowledges that

problem for Egypt is the weakspined support it's receiving from
the American government and
media who are reporting the story in terms of
Muslim clerics praying in front
of tanks. While there is definitely
an extremist angle on the change
of power in Egypt, the people
are not chanting "death to Israel" or "death to America." They
are simply demanding freedom.
There was a time when Americans too took to the streets to protest tyrannical rule and rid themselves of oppression. There was
a time when America just wanted
to be free and average people
took up their arms and started
fires in government buildings.
During this revolution Thomas
Jefferson wrote, "The tree of liberty must be watered from time to
time with the blood of the patriots." Despite the troubles that lie
ahead for Egypt, they are watering their tree. Egypt, like a young
American, just wants to be free.

Just three weeks after the

the wounded Congresswoman
Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), and
the president opened his remarks
about the meaning of that event.
In sum, "Tucson reminded us that

party or political preference."

�FROM, ASK, T ELL, P . 1
Much recent attention to the
policy was brought forth by California native and former First
Lieutenant, Dan Choi, who was
discharged f rom the military after
coming out during an interview
on The Rachel Maddow Show.
Lt. Choi argued in an open letter
to Congress and President Obama
that the policy was unconstitutional and actually hindered military effectiveness, "My subordinates know I 'm gay. They don't
care. They are professional."
The policy was originally
supported by the idea that the
presence of openly homosexual
members in the military would
pose risks t o the order, morale,
and cohesiveness in the military
atmosphere. However, over 17
years, many like Lt. Choi have
worked to discredit this idea and
instead argue that forcing service
members to lie about their identity created more of a hindrance on
military effectiveness and morality while simultaneously perpetuating the same moral problem the
policy was intended to diminish.
However, the repeal of the
D on't Ask, Don't Tell policy has
not been made official. Though
the repeal was passed in both
the Senate and the House, and
President Obama has signed it
into law, the bill requires that
the president, Defense Secretary and Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff must each certify
that the bill will not detract from
military readiness. From there,
the military has 60 days to officially implement the repeal.
Local San Diego Representative Duncan Hunter has introduced the Restore Military
Readiness Act which would require additional signatures for
the repeal's implementation. This
could potentially threaten the fate
of the Don't Ask, D on't Tell repeal by slowing down its implementation and extending the status quo. While the congressional
passage of the Don't Ask, Don't
Tell repeal has slowly opened
closet doors for many homosexual service members, it might still
be a matter of time before they
are able to take the first step out.

The Koala, a tabloid launched
last week by some CSUSM
students, has achieved its publishers' apparent goal: to inflame the university community with hate speech.
"Apparent" because, while
The Koala has certainly engendered impassioned responses, the
predominantly white males behind the publication have refused
to discuss what it is they have
wrought — or to identify themselves. At a recent recruitment
meeting, they would not give
their names and avoided being
photographed; they moved the
meeting to a private dorm room
to exclude critics and news media; and they demanded 30-packs
of beer f rom journalists who requested interviews, which, given
their likely ages, smacks of soliciting criminal acts — and chal-
lenges their legitimacy as a newspaper, as they describe The Koala.
It is The Koala's content
(downloadable at csusmkoala.
com) that most effectively challenges the newspaper
claim. Just about every
demographic — except
straight, white males —
is addressed with violent,
prurient and/or grotesque
language: gays and lesbians, women, rape and pe
dophilia victims, pediatric
cancer and burn patients,
African Americans, Latinos,
Asians and Muslims. The
Koala is a miasma of isms.
Anecdotally, the "rea
sonable person" test of The
Koala's content suggests that
many CSUSM students and staff
indeed find much of the content
obscene — obscene and hateful. But obscenity remains in
the eye of the beholder, and in
the United States we can speak

freely whether our speech is

More interesting are the test
results of The Koala's two advertisers, cougarbookrentals.com
and Miramar Wellness Center — "interesting" because it
takes fund-
ing to publish any speech.

corn's open platform, an "entrepreneur" who can "choose to
market it any way they want."
Nonetheless, when read content from The Koala, Geller's
response was, "Oh! Oh god!
Okay, that's enough!" An articulate man — and pragmatic
— he disavowed any responsibility for cougarbookrental's ad
and declared that bookrenter.com
"would never, ever, ever" advertise in The Koala. He also said,
" I'm going to contact the owner
of [csusmbookrentals.com] and
first make sure he or she is aware
of what this is all about." Then the

ing." Whether or not? Hmmm.
The Miramar Wellness Center
(at 858-689-9098), a' marijuana
dispensary, had a slightly more
definitive response. An employee
who did not identify herself said
the Wellness Center had received
"a lot of upset calls, a whole lot"
and that the manager would not
take any more, but she added, "I
heard [the ad] was a mistake and
they are trying to get it removed."
That's promising, but, in the
meantime, what to do about
the privileged young men who
publish hate with anonymity?
Read The Koala so you can
make informed comments about
it (available at csusmkoala.
com). Although the thing is no
joy, condemning something you
haven't read is shallow commentary. And ignorance is not bliss.
Contact The Koala's advertisers to reinforce the message
that their ad dollars are supporting content that encourages
pedophilia, racism, misogyny,
rape and domestic violence.
If a second issue comes out,
contact any new advertisers.
State your opinion of The Koala freely and frequently. The right
to free speech goes both ways:
They have the right to speak and
you have the right to criticize
what they say — maybe even the
responsibility. Hate that goes unchallenged goes on and on and on .
Find some peace in this
thought: What goes on the Internet stays on the Internet, and one
day in the next few years The Koala's publishers will be looking for
jobs in competitive marketplaces
where respect for diversity, social
maturity and the ability to selfedit will be deciding factors for
employment. These young men
have already round-filed their job
applications by exercising a most
wonderful right irresponsibly.

THE POWER OF STORIES
ARTS AND LECTURES SERIES SHARES POWERFUL MESSAGE
NANCY ROSSINGOL
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
This semester's first Arts &
Lectures Series event started
out with a bang last Thursday
night, Feb. 3. Presenter Carl
Wilkens pounded his fists on
the wall to demonstrate how the
killing squad came banging on
his neighbors door. Wilkens's
neighbor was one of more than
800,000 people who lost their
lives in 1994 during the 100
day long genocide in Rwanda.
"Every time a life is taken
on this planet, it's like drop-
ping a stone," Wilkens said,
"and sometimes the little ripples
are hardly noticed when they
reach the shores of America,
and sometimes they grow into
something like a tsunami."
Along with his wife, Teresa,
and their three children, Wilkens
moved to Kigali, Rwanda in 1990
as part of a humanitarian aid effort. When the killings began
in April 1994, Teresa and the
children left Kigali for safety,
but Wilkens stayed behind as
head of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency International. He was the only known
American to remain in Rwanda
during the genocide. Wilkens
and his wife now dedicate their
time to educating the public
through their nonprofit organization, World Outside My Shoes.
In order to bring an end to
war and genocide, Wilkens believes we should stop thinking
in terms of "us" versus "them,"
or "me" and the " other" He
said as a global community, we
need to shift to a "we" mentality.
"That's where I think our
hope lies," Wilkens said. "I
think stories are so much more
powerful than guns [because
they] have the ability to connect us, to realize there's no us
and them. There is simply us,"
he continued. He also stressed
the importance of service as a
way to change the way we think.
Wilkens showcased photos
of doctors, nurses, neighbors
and children. First, was an elderly traditional healer Rwandan
woman, Sula Karuhimbi, her
face framed by a bright orange
scarf. She had kind eyes. One
member of the audience commented that she reminded him
of Mother Teresa. Karuhimbi hid
and protected 17 people on her
own property during the genocide. Some considered her a
"witch doctor," and Karuhimbi
used that label to her advantage,
telling the killing squads that
evil spirits inhabited her house.
"Labels are so convenient,
but at times they are so deadly,"
Wilkens said. During his recent return to Rwanda, Wilkens
visited the Kigali Memorial,
and viewed the plaque honoring Karuhimbi. He continued, "How do you memorialize
something as horrific as this?''
Wilkens spoke with much admiration and respect of Rwandan
women, and of his own wife and
daughters, telling heartwarming
stories of generosity, courage,
and resiliency, and heartwrenching stories of the devastating
damage caused by mass rape
of Rwandan women. Wilkens
called the "sense of . stability," security, and purpose that
women possess the "girl effect."
Throughout the presentation,
many audience members had
tears in their eyes. When asked
why he came to see Wilkens,
sophomore Conner Brown said,
"Because he went through such
an incredible time in history."
"Being able to hear Carl Wilkens
speak is amazing," Political Science major Gabriella Pruitt added.

300 locations in the U.S., Canada
and United Kingdom combined.
Whole Foods originated out of
Austin, TX in 1980. The website
reveals the store sells all natural
meats that farmers or ranchers
treated humanely. Whole Foods
offers a loan program to local producers of food as well, because
they believe that local businesses
need a chance to grow and develop. Whole Foods is pricier than all
the other health food stores listed.

Sprouts developed in Arizona,

Heart-shaped candy boxes,
pink and red roses, cards and
ever-present love songs on the
radio serve as reminders of the
upcoming date Feb. 14, better
known as Valentine's Day. The
sudden abundance of Hallmark
sentiments and mass-market romance presents a misleading interpretation of the holiday: that
everyone needs a Valentine or
significant other in order to enjoy and appreciate this day for
lovers. However, since its origination, celebrations and meanings behind Valentine's Day are
constantly evolving. If you find
yourself single this Valentine's
Photo courtesy offlickr.com
U ï VALENTINE'S DAY IS NOT JUST FOR COUPLES
Day, maybe it's time to re-define the way you celebrate love.
The modern observance of
Valentine's Day, which often
includes fancy restaurant dinners and heart-shaped jewelry,
has changed drastically since its
ancient origin. According to History .com, Valentine's Day began
in Rome under dreary social conditions during the rule of Emperor Claudius II. Legend states
that Claudius outlawed marriage
in order to raise a powerful army
of unattached young soldiers. In
retaliation, a courageous priest
named Valentine performed
secret marriages for lovers.
The month of February signaled a time for fertility and purification to the ancient Romans. In
these times, women were the ob-
ject of superstitious ceremonies
rather than celebrated as romantic
partners. The Roman men sacrificed goats, and boys roamed the
streets slapping women with strips
of hide in order to encourage fertility. In addition to the hide slapping, women put their names in
a lottery to be paired with a man.
Fortunately, secretive marriages, hide slapping and pairing
lotteries no longer mark the celebration of Valentine's Day, and
people are free to tailor their celebrations to match their individual
views of the holiday. The predictable dinner and a movie, flowers,
candy and gift exchanges present couples with some ideas for
Valentine's Day, but what about
those currently out of a relationship? For singles, the absence of
a romantic valentine may contribute to a day filled with pessimistic cynicism. However, there are
many possibilities for an enjoyable day if singles change their
perspective. Generosity, kindness
and loVe can be openly and vastly
expressed to friends and family.
If Facebqok love quizzes and
Cupid's arrow can't generate romance, get creative! Activities
to inspire love and show care
on Valentine's Day include time
spent making homemade cards
for family and friends, leaving
encouraging post-it notes for
roommates, volunteering time
and making a donation to charity. Cards, whether homemade or
store-bought, don't have to be traditionally romantic, but thoughtful messages to loved ones.

The University Village Apartments offers other ways to give
gifts. "We have candy grams
and Valentine's for Veterans to
honor and support U.S. military
members and veterans," UVA
staff member Bbwie Tintle said.
Whether the gifts or thoughts
of Valentine's Day cause excitement, dread or indifference, expression of love doesn't have to
be thrown in a negative light by
those who scorn the holiday. As
Ashton Kutcher said in the film
"Valentine's Day," "Love is the
only shocking act left on the planet." So celebrate all forms of love
this Valentine's Day and enjoy the
company of those you hold dear.

As the spring season opens,
a f ew Cal State San Marcos
athletes are putting in a bit of
extra time behind the desk.
This year, the captains of
each squad have been asked to
write a preview of their season's
schedule, looking forward to upcoming events and key players.
These previews have been aptly
titled "Captain's Corner," and are
available on the Cougar athletics website, csusmcougars.com.
According to Sports Information Director Kyle Trembley, the
brains behind the project belong
to m en's track and field captain
Brett Campfield. The track star,
a junior transfer f rom Princeton, approached the athletic department over the winter break
with the idea that since captains
were designated by their respective teams as representatives,
they should to be the ones telling their fans what to expect.

to cover, due to the massive size

of the women's track team. There
are currently 54 athletes on the
official roster. The junior f rom
Oceanside offered plenty of inside information on the squad's
organization, and explained to
fans unfamiliar to the sport what
some events are comprised o f.
For example, "Coach Scott is
also composing a relay team that
will either run the 4x800 meters or the distance medley relay in which every person runs
a different distance, beginning
with 1200 meters, then 400 meters, 800 meters, and the last
leg runs 1600 meters," she said.
A f ew weeks into the season,

Trembley said. For now, the four

fascinating essays that are worth

UPDATE
Cal State San Marcos, still new
to indoor track and field, sent
nearly the minimum amount of
athletes to the Northern Arizona
University Track Invitational on
Saturday, and therefore had a
difficult time amassing enough
points to compete. However, the
Cougars were not without stars
at the event. M en's captain Brett
Campfield took first place in the
one-mile race, leaning across
the line with a time of 4:22.39.
Daniel Lyon and Armando Lara
finished second and third in the

OWEN HEMSATH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The Super Bowl is the
new Christmas, and the commercials are like the stocking
staffers. While they may not
be the main attraction, they are
certainly one of the best parts.
However, this year, the lighthearted humor that we expect
from America's most watched
commercials was replaced with
interactivity and special effects
technology. A great example is
Fox's preview of the animated
bird movie "Rio," which featured
a hidden clue used to unlock
a mystery level in the popular
smart phone application Angry
Birds. Once unlocked, those who
found the code earn a chance to
win a vacation to Rio de Janeiro.
Get that? While the interactivity
and colorful animation benchmarked a new era in interactivity,
the commercial just wasn't funny.
Special effects also played a
key role. Big players like Coke
spent millions on a commercial
aimed at gamers, comprised entirely of computer animation.
Companies like Brisk and Chatter.com also focused on animated
themes with commercials starring celebrity voices and likenesses like the Black Eyed Peas
and Eminem. Hollywood continued the trend with hi-tech superpreviews for the season's upcoming sci-fi/action films. Movies
l ike. Steven Spielberg's "Super
8," the western-hybrid "Cowboys and Aliens," and the comic
aas
an
book manifestations "Thor" and
"Captain America" each presented a visually stunning demonstration of their product. This
might have been a good idea if
we all had movie-theater televisions, but we don't. Everyone
can enjoy a good joke but these
commercials just weren't funny.
It wasn't like humor wasn't in
the cards. To the contrary, some
commercials tried to be funny but
the punch lines never hit. A few
standouts did prove to be crowd
pleasers and while they represented only a minority of total advertisements, they deserve some
recognition. Bud Light's first
commercial called "The Hacks,"
for example, was by far their
funniest. The commercial mocks
a before-and-after home renovation scenario where the only
renovation in the "after" shot was
a bucket of Bud Lights on the
countertop. The line, "it really
opens up the place" got a laugh
out of the whole room. Doritos
launched a commercial called
"Funeral Guy" where a house-sitter successfully saves a dead fish
when he sprinkles Dorito crumbs
into the fishbowl. He saves a dead
plant the same way. By commercial's end, an urn is over-turned
and the rest is obvious. Finally,
Bridgestone gar- « m ¡ ¡SH

wasn't huge and tech toppled
the rest. The commercials were
visually appealing but the scripts
were weak. We may never see
the funny commercials that we
once expected from the Super
Bowl. Instead, we may be wise
to expect more special effects,
technology, and interactivity that
begs the need for a bigger television and a better phone.

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
An underwater cave diving team sets off to discover
the last unexplored place on
earth. However, at the onset of an unexpected tropical storm, the team, led by
Frank (Richard Roxburgh),
is trapped underground and
forced to dive deeper into
the unexplored terrain in a
desperate search for escape.
Executively
produced
by James Cameron, "Sanctum" is a 3D underwater
thriller that attempts to push
the boundaries of 3D moviemaking and visual stimu-
lation: a worthy goal had
"Avatar" never been made.
Though visually impressive,
this film's use of 3D effects
is pointless, and it can likely
be an effort to acquire more
revenue, as the film requires
moviegoers to spend $3
more per ticket. Making the
movie 3D is a questionable
attempt by the filmmakers
to boast a more impressive
opening weekend profit.
With the acting performances being mediocre
at best and a poor story
development, "Sanctum"
relies on intense, overdramatized action scenes to
sustain a mild sense of interest. The audience feels
as though they are holding
their breath along with the
divers, awaiting the next
possible chance for a gasp
of fresh air. This intensity
is the only attention keeper
for the movie's 103 minute
runtime, as the first 30 minutes are especially sluggish.
Though semi-entertaining, "Sanctum" is a dismal
follow-up for Cameron's
groundbreaking
movie
"Avatar," and it seems as
though having Cameron's
name on the poster is the
one and only selling point.

Breaking up is hard to do, especially around Valentine's Day.
But usually, it's for the best, right?
The signs of a relationship's
demise are rather apparent. Most
notably, potential break ups are
preceded by the couple not really doing anything together
anymore. This presents an awkward situation for everyone.
People start asking questions, then the news breaks:
the White Stripes, drummer
Meg White and guitarist Jack
White, officially break up.
During the middle of last
week, the news traveled faster
than a 15-year-old on Facebook,
as the blog posts poured in. In a
symbolic death march, articles
popped up chronicling the best of
the Stripes' coupling and revealing that the brother-sister act was
actually an amicable solution to
the end of a four-year marriage
(although that wasn't much of
a secret to
begin with).
The White
Stripes
are
best
described—or,
were best described, rather—as a raw,
minimalist,
a esthetically
conscious
duo. With hits
like "Fell in
Love with a
Girl," "Seven
Nation Army"
and
"Blue
O r c h i d ,"
the
White
Stripes gained a solid following over their 14-year existence, Their* last album, "Icky
Thump," was released in 2007.
In 2009, Jack White joined and
helped found The Dead Weather, a
"compilation band" of sorts, with
Allison Mosshart of Discount
and The Kills, Jack Lawrence of
The Greenhornes and The Raconteurs, and Dean Fertita of Queens
of the Stone Age. So it's pretty
easy to see where Jack White's
energy will go post-Stripes, especially since The Dead Weather
performed at Coachella last year.
I should probably mention
that Jack White is also in The
Raconteurs with Fertita, starred
in "rockumentary" "It Might Get
Loud" in 2008 with members
from U2 and Led Zeppelin and
he has his own record label, Third
Man. Feel free to call him busy.
Meg White is another story.
According to the White Stripes'
still active website, her acute
anxiety often changed the band's
plans. In 2007, the band's fall
U.S. tour was cancelled due to
"health issues ," citing that White
was unable to travel. After that,
the band chose to cancel all 2007
tour dates post-September including a scheduled tour of the U.K.
She remarried in 2009—in
Jack White's backyard, no less.
There has not been much news
regarding Meg White's musical
present or future, but in mid-2010,
Jack White reported to the Times
of London that he suspected Meg
White's anxiety no longer existed.
Although the Stripes are
no longer together, their musical contributions fail to present signs of dissolution. Their
run as a band was significant
enough for other artists to cover
the most classic of Stripes songs.
Of course, break ups are
never exactly f un. Fans of the
band, however, may relish in
their latest release, "Under the
Great White Northern Lights,"
a documentary and live album
of the band's last ever tour.

EDITOR IN CHIEF
After nearly a decade of
hosting commencement off
campus, Spring 2011 graduates will now enjoy the honor
of celebrating their graduation
ceremony on home ground.
On May 2011, three graduation ceremonies will be held at
the Mangrum Track and Field
allowing seating for approximately 3,000 guests. Guests do
not require tickets, but students
are suggested to bring immediate family only or no more than
10 guests each. Seating is on
a first come, first serve basis.
Each graduate needs tofillout
an RSVP form confirming attendance to walk for graduation and
informing the Commencement
Office of how many guests each
graduate anticipates will attend.
Submit an RSVP form by visiting
www.csusm.edu/commencement.
Although graduation may
seem months away, making early preparations help the big day
run smoother. Gradfest, a special
"Grad only" event offers graduates cap and gown sales, photo
frames for diplomas, class rings,
photography packages and everything that a graduate would need.
Gradfest will be held March 15,10
a.m. - 4 p.m., March 16,10 a.m.
- 7 p.m., and March 17,10 a.m. 4 p.m. at the Clarke Field House
in the Grand Salon. The University Store will also sell caps and
gowns later on in the semester.
Graduation announcements
may be also purchased online
through Herff Jones by visiting
www.herffjones ,
c o m / c o l l eg t i c s u s m .
Graduates earning academic
honors receive a gold cord , on
the day of their ceremony. These
honors are calculated based on
the semester prior to graduation. Overall grade point average (GPA) and institutional GPA,
the lower of the two, determine
eligibility for academic honors.
Magna cum laude 3,70 - 3.89
Summa cum laude 3.90 - 4tOQ
Ceremony schedules vary
depending on major. For a complete list of times, please visit
the commencement website.
Though graduation inspires
celebratory behavior, CSUSM
prohibits the consumption
of alcohol on campus property, including all parking lots.

I NTERNET CENSORSHIP BILL H EADING BACK T O SENATE
SENATE T O REVIEW BILL THAT WOULD CHANGE THE INTERNET
JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA), if passed, would allow the
Attorney General to target "Internet sites dedicated to infringing activities." This act would
include websites both in and outside the country. This includes
any site that has "no demonstrable, commercially significant purpose or use other than unlawful
sharing of copyrighted material."
While there is no debate on
whether these sites targeted are
indeed acting outside the law,
there is concern that the Attorney General's ability to re-
moved whatever site he deems
"inappropriate" would be outside of constitutional bounds.
Opposition to the bill claims
it leads the U.S. down a torrid
path lined with censorship. After condemning countries such
as China for their regular practice of internet censorship, a
bill that would allow for similar
practices does not seem ideal.
The largest issue with the present bill is that the criteria for examining a site is extremely broad,
which gives many legitimate
websites a cause for concern.
The site Dropbox.com is one
such company that would come
under fire should such a bill be
passed. Dropbox is an online storage site where users can upload
and store files as an alternative to
physical storage. But under this
new act, Dropbox would be in violation of storing illegal copies of
copyrighted material, due to random users uploading and storing
thefilesusing Dropbox's services.
Also at risk are revenues from
ad services such as AdSense by
Google. The small text ads that appear on the majority of sites now
would be banned from advertising on the sites deemed illegal. As
ads are Google's major source of
income, the bill could have a drastic effect on the search giant's revenue stream in the years to come.
While the bill has caused concern for many website admins and
Internet users alike, there is little
to no chance that it will be passed,
or even examined, before the end for a media outlet that has been
of the current session of Congress. largely unregulated until now.
The most outspoken critic of
the bill is Senator Ron Wyden (DOR), who described the COICA
as "using a bunker-busting cluster
bomb when what you really need
is a precision-guided missile/'
The bill's creation has been
met with thunderous applause
from the music and film industries, who have been lobbying
for stricter control over illegal
download of copyrighted material
from thé government for years.
Whether or not the bill passes,
its inception marks a change in
the relationship between government and the internet. It marks Photo courtesy of dynamicbusiness .com .au
the beginning of a new era of potential censorship and regulation

�Healthy eating h azards: How to s py the bad stuff in " good" f oods
ASHLEY DAY
A&E EDITOR
Upon arrival at a university,
new levels of stress can wear
down your immune system. One
way to cut out unnecessary stress
is to examine your diet—-reading
the nutrition labels on your favorite study snacks can help you
spot unhealthy amounts of sugar,
fat, and sodium that can slow
you down and stress you out.
Many incoming students
dread the inexplicable freshman
15 and seek ways to avoid gaining weight during their college
career. Students do not always
understand the difference between advertising slogans and
actual health food. Food manufacturers label their goods with
false advertisements so they can
reel the consumer into buying the
item. Some foods are labeled with
colorful signs that read "all natural," "supports immune system,"
"Og trans fat" and "low in sugar." These advertisements trick
the buyer into thinking the item
is better for them, when in fact
the item includes high amounts
of other unhealthy ingredients.
Of the foods that read "low
sugar" there may be different
forms of sugar included in the
item that are unlisted in the nutritional information sidebar.
"Sugar masquerades under
a variety of guises, such as dextrose, fructose, concentrates,
glucose... and maltose," healthy
living adviser, Pooja Mottl said.
The nutritional information
bar does not list these added sugars, but the ingredient label does.
The problem is most people do
not know how to pronounce these
ingredients, let alone understand what these complicated
names mean for their health.
"The Food and Drug
• Administration (FDA)
has refused to include
an 'added sugars' line
(in grams) within
the 'sugars' section," Mottl
explained.
This tricks the consumer into
thinking an item has less
sugar than it actually does.
Furthermore, terms like "all
natural" are vague. What part of
the product is "natural?" "Anyone
can put the term 'natural' on most
foods, since the FDA has no formal definition
of the term
and doesn't
r egulate
or
rector
of
EatingWell
Media
Group
said.
When grocery shopping, students trying to stayfit/loseweight
must be wary of these labels.
CSUSM's Wellness Center can
help you understand how to stay
healthy while in school. "At the
HOPE & Wellness Center, we
assist students to create a plan
on eating healthy and emphasize physical activity/exercising
as part of that plan to maintain a
healthy lifestyle, and that it's not
just about losing weight," Cathy
Nguyen, health and H.OPJB. &
Wellness Center coordinator said.
The Wellness Center is very
beneficial to students who
would like to formulate a
healthy lifestyle. Students
think many items marketed as 'healthy' are
truly healthy, but the
Wellness Center
helps you see past
that. Common
'healthy' beverages, like
juices, teas
and smoothies deemed better for
you than a soda are actually quite
the opposite "VitaminWater is
actually not nutritious at all. One
bottle can contain...almost the
same amount of sugar in a can
of C oke" Nguyen continued.
"To set up success for healthy
dining, students must plan ahead.
Bringing food from home is always best because you can control the amount of food that you
plan to eat," Nguyen added.
Beware of false advertisement, portion size and foods
labeled nutritious because the
foods you thought were healthier
choices could be cloaked in lies!

Health & Counseling Services at www.csusm.edu/

The more times you visit a
place, the more you begin to
notice the details that contribute to its character and identity.
For me, that place is Oslo, Norway, the city in which my lovely
girlfriend and CSUSM alumnus
lives. As this trip marked my third
time visiting Oslo, I began to see
what the locals of this renowned
city always call "the real city."
Although the tourist traps tend
to attract most who visit Norway, those locations still have
their enchantments. Though Oslo
goes unnoticed by many a Eu-

ropean traveler, it has become
one of the most romantic places
in the world. See it with someone you love—or someone you
are planning to fall in love with.
Aker Brygge, an area consisting of docks, former warehouses
and storage buildings lining the
Oslo-fjord, has become the city's
center attraction. Bustling restaurants, businesses and a shopping
mall have overtaken the old fishing center. A visit in the summer
can land you on a posh, floating
bar on the water, but a winter visit
might be even more romantic:

tios lining the docks. The booths
are lined with cozy Norwegian
furs and heat lamps are plentiful. Meanwhile, you are treated
to a view of the snow-glazed
coast and calm Norwegian sea.
Norway has the world's wealthiest per-capita income, and the
scenery reflects those numbers.
The "T-bane," the city's subway
system, features new trains built
by Porsche. Sleek, elegant and
very fast, the T-bane can take you
across the city in no time. Even
so, I have found that the Trikk—
the older trolley system—can be
a much more exciting way to get
to your destination. Magnificent
views are always abundant, featuring views of Oslo's many old
Norwegian
buildings and sights like Holmenkollen, the fantastic modern ski
jump perched on a mountainside.
If you are riding the T-bane
to a restaurant, hopefully it's authentic Norwegian cuisine! The
cold fish, shrimp or Brie cheese
sandwiches are delicious, and
sliced bread and "brunost"—
brown cheese—are a must-try.
I still have yet to gather the guts
to taste Norwegian reindeer stew,
but eating fishballs with steamed
potatoes and vegetables covered
in white sauce makes me feel
like a local. If traditional food
isn't on your menu, Oslo features
some of the world's finest ethnic
cuisines. This time around, we
agreed that the food at Jaipur, an

enchanting Indian place right in
the middle of the city served the
best Indian food either of us had
ever tasted. Another favorite is
kabob, a late night Greek/Middle

all across the European continent.
The Norwegian people are
especially quiet and reserved,
but here's another detail one
might not notice the first time
around: They are among the nicest and most hospitable hosts
on the planet. My visits to Oslo
are always* "hyggileg" and

THE PRIDE
FEMALE F RONTRUNNERS F IGHT CRIME W I T H C HARM
SANDRA CHALMERS
EDITOR IN CHIEF
An escalating amount of
primetime television shows lead
with strong female characters
that resolve mysterious murders
with bold intuition and beauty.
"Fringe" (2008), created by
J J . Abrams, director and creator
of hit television show "Lost,"
and film "Cloverfield" (2008),
brings the world of impossible
science into reality. Character
Olivia Dunham, played by gutsy
blonde Anna Torv, works for the
FBI, specializing in the Fringe
Division, a task force focused
on cases of extreme abnormality.
Torv leads the show by fighting
genetic mutations, a parallel universe and of course chasing bad
guys *with her long blonde hair
easily blowing in the wind. Sexy
co-star, Peter Bishop, played by
Joshua Jackson (Yes, from "Dawson's Creek"), brings out a romantic side of Torv, as the hard-edged
FBI agent softens when she falls
for Bishop. But viewers don't
think twice about who wears
the pants in the relationship,
Torv definitely holds the reins.
Another leading lady in prime
time includes Kate Beckett, in
the hit dramatic comedy, "Castle" (2009). Beckett, played by
Stana Katie is a leading homicide
detective for the New York Police Department. Solving crime
in New York City includes plots
twists that no one can anticipate.
Katie plays a sharp, sarcastic
and witty character that wins the
heart of famous novelist, Richard
Castle, played by Nathan Fillion.
Fillion finds inspiration from
Katie for his upcoming novel
and can lighten the mood of any
murder scene with comedic relief. Katie is a clear contrast from
the fun energetic Fillion, but the
chemistry between the two characters keeps viewers on their toes.
Annie Frost knows how to
keep up with the boys, as a U.S.
Marshall in Dallas, Texas, Frost,
played by Kelli Giddish in the
high action series, "Chase"
(2010). Well-known executive director, Jerry Bruckheimer,
placed petite Giddish as a lead
character, but don't let her feminine charm fool you. She plays
a fierce female justice seeker.
"Giddish stars as the lead manhunter, who can hold her own
against a perp twice her size,"
stated a review by Variety. Texas
accents and cowboy boots haunt
almost every action scene, but
don't expect any romance in this
series, Giddish prefers to indulge
in gunfights and even fist fights.
In solving crime, Allison Dubois doesn't need forensic evidence. She solves crimes in her
sleep. Dubois, played by Patricia
Arquette, a homicide consultant
working for the District Attorney in Phoenix, Arizona, uses
her supernatural instincts to uncover truths about crime scenes
in the popular series "Medium"
(2005). Once harshly judged for
her strange talent, this daring diva
uses her dreams tofindculprits of
despicable crimes. Dubois juggles a family life, career and her
psychic abilities with cool confidence and stunning composure.

HAPPY HOUR OF THE WEEK: THE 55 YARD LlfìE
fi nORTH COUriTY HOTSPOT
BEN DEARINGER
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Interested in a place where you
get some great deals on food and
drinks no matter what night of the
week it is? Just drive over to the
historic Old California Restaurant Row, to The 55 Yardline, located within two miles from campus on San Marcos Boulevard.
This local North County bar
and grill has been open since
2003 and is the perfect place to
grab a beer, watch a game, play
some pool or even play some
electronic golf on their classic
Golden Tee arcade game. The 55
Yardline offers a large variety of
breakfast, lunch and dinner options, but the happy hour specials draw in the massive crowds.
Every day, the bar has something for everyone (Sorry, there is
no happy hour on Friday through
Sunday, although the bar still offers drink specials). Happy hour
is offered from 4 p.m. - 7 p.m.,
and the specials range from $2.75
for a pint of a delicious domestic brew on Mondays to $3 for
any Mexican beer on Tuesdays.
Thursday is college night, and it
is, a perfect place to go for those
who are short on cash. They offer any well drink or domestic
draft for only $2.75. But wait,
there's more, The 55 Yardline has
something to offer trivia buffs as
well. Wednesday nights, starting directly after happy hour,
the bar has a trivia competition
that anyone can enter. Play as a
team or individually, it doesn't
matter! The bar offers prizes to
the top three places. First place
receives a $45 gift certificate
for their next visit, second place
receives $25 and third place receives $10. So why not test your
knowledge in categories such as
geography, pop culture, science,
politics and other categories?
Not a trivia whiz? Do not
fret, The 55 Yardline has over 24
TVs and televises almost every
sporting event. This is the place
to be for all your different sport
watching cravings, such as the
NFL's Super Bowl XLV, basketball, soccer or UFC. Make sure
to arrive early because seating
is fairly limited. Sports memorabilia covers the dimly lit sports
bar fromfloorto ceiling and takes
anyone back throughout the history of San Diego sports culture.
So if you are stuck in North
County on a weekday night, you
don't have much cash to spend,
and you are looking for a great
time, head over to The 55 Yardline. Sorry to those of you who are
not 21 yet; staff checks identification at the door as soon as happy
hour begins. Though, you may
still go early to practice shooting pool or to just watch a game.
Located at 1020 W. San
Marcos Blvd., St. 114, San
Marcos, CA 92078. (760) 7441960. Open until 1 a.m. daily.

Road blocks and timing issues
recently forced Associated Students, Inc and Campus Activities
| Board to cancel Cal State San Mar| cos's big campus spring event.
In previous years, ASI organized the Spring Fling dance.
"Spring Fling began in the
Spring of 2006. It was started
to be a big spring event that
would be similar to the fall's
Masquerade Ball," Sara Gallegos, Director of Campus Activities and Marketing said.
This
year, CAB and
ASI wanted to try to put
on a new exciting event.
"We've been talking for years
about holding a concert, a large
concert ... in the place of the
actual Spring Fling dance. We
were going to hold a concert on
campus," Gallegos continued.
However, somewhere along
the way, planning came to a
halt forcing CAB to think of
another way to bring students
fun activities for the semester. Students may wonder why
CAB did not bring back the
Spring Fling dance, but there
was no possible way to organize
the dance because of timing.
"By the time we were informed [of the roadblocks] it
was after finals week...To turn
around and try to book a place
... promotion and everything...
we couldn't turn around and
do it," Gallegos explained.
As a result, ASI and CAB decided to put the budget toward
events and collaborate with
other campus organizations.
Essentially, students still
get their money's worth
with the events ASI and
CAB provide to the campus.
"Everything that comes into
CAB and ASI... goes back to
students," Gallegos finished.
Therefore, students, though
it is disappointing to hear of the
concert cancellation, CAB is
still planning a lot of fun events
for us, so attend them, earn
back some of the money your
.tuition paid for and possibly
win some free concert tickets.

On Tuesday, March 8, the
Political Science Club at Cal
State San Marcos hosted the
event "Protests and Political
Change," which featured Political Science professors Dr.
Cyrus Masroori and Dr. Scott
Greenwood discussing current protests in the Middle East.
The event took place during
U-Hour on Tuesday, and students
poured in to listen to the words of
expert professors. An estimate of
75 attendees crammed themselves
into a University Hall classroom.
Political Science Club President Brittany Varga discussed
the event as having "perfect
timing because so much is happening right now in the Middle
East [and] it is important people
understand what is going on."
She continued, "not only is it
important to know what's going
on, but it's imperative to understand why it's happening there."
Dr. Greenwood and Dr. Masroori
aimed to provide such understanding with their presentations.
Dr. Greenwood began the
event with his presentation titled
"Lessons from Tunisia, Egypt
and Libya," which juxtaposed
the democratic success in Tunisia
and Egypt against the tragedy of
events in Libya. Dr. Greenwood
carefully tailored his presentation to a level that was relatable
to CSUSM students by discussing the significant role played
by new media such as Facebook

ASI raffles a pair of tickets
each to events such as a Lady

students go to CAB events.
"Each CAB event any student comes to can get an opportunity drawing ticket each
time and put it in the event box
they choose, so the more events
you come to the more chances
you have to win," Gallegos said.
ASI reallocated its budget to "beef up" it's currently

and Twitter, the globalized economy, the military and more. Dr.
Greenwood's enthusiasm and
empathy stemmed from his travels in these countries, which he
also discussed. Greenwood often
chanted "We can do this!" as a
way to explain the attitudes of the
demonstrators in Egypt and Libya while concurrently contrasting
it to the lack of success in Libya.
Following Dr. Greenwood's
presentation, Dr. Masroori discussed the protests in Iran in
his presentation titled "Iran,
Searching for a Promise." Dr.
Masroori exposed the longevity of Iran's 21-month-long protests and attributed it to three
factors: the state, the opposition
and the international dynamic.
Masroori worked to clear Western media biases by providing a
theoretical basis that aided in ex-
plaining the reasoning behind and effects of the
Iranian
demonstrations.
Whether students showed
up for extra credit, free pizza
or sheer interest in the subject,
there is no doubt that the audience was large. Political Science Club Treasurer Gabriella
Pruitt, surprised by the turnout,
commented: "Although this subject is very important to me, our
campus is still very lackluster in
terms of student life [for a variety
of reasons]. I guess we should
have reserved a larger room!"
Awareness gf political and
humanitarian issues is proving itself especially essential
these days, and as reflected by
the large student turnout, the
CSUSM community realizes this.

If you have ever dreamed
about working at the Disneyland

as earn college credit, now is
your chance to hear about joining the Disney College Program.
On Thursday March 17 from
noon to 1 p.m. in the Career
Center (Craven 1400), students
who have previously been a part
of this program will discuss and
show videos explaining different
jobs and internship opportunities through the Disney college
program. The program, which
celebrates its 30th year, allows
students to earn college credit
by working, living and taking a
selection of classes at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim or
at the Disneyworld Resort in
Florida. Participants in the program will have the opportunity
to meet people from all across
the country, establish transferable
skills and explore multiple opportunities at the Disney resorts.
The program allows students
to work and learn at the same
time in a very unique setting.
The program's sessions run only
in fall and spring and do not offer a summer session. Because of
the nature of the Disney program
being very hands on, housing opportunities are available for both
theme parks. Depending on which
program a student may choose,
it could last four to six months.
There are a wide variety of jobs to
choose from through the Disney
College Program such as attractions, Bell Services at the theme
parks hotels, hostess, character,
concierge, costuming, custodial,
food and beverage, hospitality,
housekeeping, lifeguard and merchandise. The Disney College
Program also allows students to
continue their work at Disney
with professional internships.

I met my wife on a dating site,
proposed on Skype, and our family attended our Vegas wedding
via live streaming Internet video.
When two percent of all marriages in the United States come from
eHarmony alone, it may be time
to face the fact that Internet dating sites have replaced bars, clubs
and classrooms as the main places to meet your mate. College students are a busy group, balancing
school and often a job. Online dating may be a viable option if you
find yourself in need of romance.
Although the same social protocols apply to fostering an online
attraction, dating on the web can
be tricky. Mastering non-verbal
communication skills in addition to absent body language can
take months. Before you spend
hundreds of dollars on dead-end
dates, take the time to read these
tips that will help the virtual
Casanova make the jump from
online zero to romantic hero.
1.
Joining
a
Site
Do: Join a few different sites
at first. Dating sites range from
very general to niche sites that
are designed for a group like
single parents or Christians. Be
sure to join at least one of each
in order to objectively establish your comfort zone. After a little time, you will know
which site(s) work best for you.
Don't: Pay for a membership until you have received a decent response rate. Most sites offer a free
sign-up but won't allow email or
chat communication with other
members until a fee is paid. You
might pay for a site only to realize later that its interface is not
user-friendly or that there are
simply no members in your area.
2.
Creating
a profile
Do: Post at least 150 words. Be
sure to accurately explicate your
personality and interests. Use
humor and wit to entice a possible mate and leave out the sob
story about your ex. If you like
model airplanes and Foghat then
find a clever way to say so. Also,
post a minimum-of three pictures

�TAKE CARE OVER THERE
TRAVEL TIPS FOR SPRING BREAK SAFETY
J ENNA JAUREGUI
FEATURES E DITOR
The sober headlines announcing the death of Austin Bice, the
SDSU International Business student who was studying abroad in
Spain before he went missing in
February, emblazoned the reality
of travel dangers in stark black
and white print. As CSUSM, students will soon leave behind the
stress and anxiety of midterm exams and jet away for spring break
adventures. Before packing your
suitcase, refresh yourself with
these travel guidelines that will
help ensure a safe return home.
Before you pick a destination,
check government travel websites
to make sure there are no travel
alerts or warnings for that area.
Unstable government, war, terrorism, natural disasters and disease
are all factors that may render a
country or state unsafe for tourism. The CSUSM global educa-
tion website contains links to these
resources and more at csusm.
e du/global/travelresources.
When deciding what to bring
on your trip, keep in mind that
you don't want to make yourself a theft target. The website
travel.safe.gov advises travelers
to "carry the minimum number
of valuables, and plan places to
conceal them. Your passport,
cash and credit cards are most secure when locked in a hotel safe.
When you have to carry them on
your person, you may wish to put
them each in a different place
rather than all in one wallet or
pouch. Avoid handbags, fanny
packs and outside pockets that
are easy targets for thieves. Inside
pockets and a sturdy shoulder
bag with the strap worn across
your chest are somewhat safer.
One of the safest places to carry
valuables is in a pouch or money
belt worn under your clothing."
Additionally, students should
educate themselves about the
laws of the state or country before beginning a trip. According
to information on studentsabroad.
state.gov, "Your U.S. citizenship
does not make you exempt from
full ^prosecution under another
country's criminal justice system,
and the U.S. government cannot bail you out. Many countries
impose harsh penalties for violations that would be considered
minor in the United States, and
unlike in the U.S., you may be
considered guilty until proven
innocent. Ignorance of the law
is no excuse, so be informed."
Also be sure to secure proper
documentation and any vaccinations needed to enter the country.
Once you arrive, exercise street
smarts. You may be there to enjoy
the nightlife, beaches and throngs
of fun loving "spring breakers,"
but enter the scene with a level
head. Studentsabroad.state.gov
says to avoid underage and excessive alcohol consumption, avoid
drugs and drug use, use only li-

censed and regulated transportation, avoid carrying weapons, and
be conscientious. Take precautions—don't gamble with your
safety. Make sure that you don't
go off alone and that someone
you trust always knows were you
are. Doing so may save your life.
These guidelines may help
students to make wise choices
and have fun while traveling,
but their execution depends on
you. Educate, control, and enjoy
yourself this spring break—globetrotting can lead to amazing
experiences if done the right way.

Telling 'her story : CSUSM celebrates women's history month

For the past 100 years, women
have shaken the firmament with
the strength of their forwardmarching footsteps. From suffrage and birth control to political
offices and space shuttle missions,
the 20th century saw a surge of
change as women broke free
from oppression and challenged
tradition, leading generations
into a fight for gender equality.
The United States recognizes March as Women's History
Month, honoring the diversity
and achievements of the many
daughters, sisters, and mothers who have left their marks
on the global timeline. Tuesday,
March 8 was the centennial celebration of International Women's Day, a day to reflect on the

SPORTS AND TITLE IX

PRIDE STAFF W RITER
SOFTBALL RIPS
THROUGH COUGAR
CLASH
Few teams of any kind at any
level have dominated a tournament the way Cal State San
Marcos softball dominated their
home tournament this weekend, the Cougar Clash. Playing
their first games on day two of
the tournament, the Cougars
shut out Emerson College 17-0
and the University of British
Columbia 9-0. On Saturday,
CSUSM again victimized Emerson College 8-0 and followed
that with an identical 8-0 final
against Hope International. On
Sunday, the Cougars slipped by
UBC 2-1 and swept the tournament with a 4-0 victory over
#13 Dickenson State. To go
with the aggregate 48-1 score,
the Cougars also received a perfect game and a no-hitter from
Brenna Sandberg on Friday, and
a two-hitter by Brittany Boone
followed by a 13-strikeout performance from Sandberg on day
two, and a 17-strikeout performance by Sandberg on Sunday
against Dickenson. Sandberg
moves to 21-4 on the year.
Forty years ago, athletic programs at CSUSM might have
consisted of 15 men's teams and
no women's teams. In 1972, a
federal law changed that possible
ratio, creating new opportunities
for women in sports. Title IX
of the 1972 Education Amendments prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs in
institutions that receive federal
funds. That includes all grade
levels through college and all
programs including sports. Concerns regarding fairness and the
resulting legal challenges created additional components to the
original law. Jennifer Milo, Associate Director of Athletics and
Senior Women's Administrator at
CSUSM, said Tide IX "has boosted the opportunities for girls and
women in sports tremendously."
Milo stated there are currently
over 300,000 women playing intercollegiate sports nationwide.
The purpose of Title IX is to
provide equal opportunity in educational institutions. A common
presumption is that in order to
have equality between the sexes,
there should be an even 50/50
split. However, at many colleges,
women outnumber men. According to Milo, CSUSM's student
population consists of 60 percent women and 40 percent men.
Compliance with Title IX requirements for equal opportunity must
be "proportional," Milo said, by
considering campus population
and other demographic factors.
Valerie McMurtrie Bonnette explains Title IX clearly
in her comprehensive manual,
Title IX and Intercollegiate Athletics: How It All Works - In
Plain English. Bonnette previously worked for The Office for
MEN'S LACROSSE
TO HOST FIRST
GAME
CSUSM's newest club team,
men's lacrosse, will host its first
home game Saturday March 19
at 2 p.m. While the club has
already played several games,5
fans have three chances to see
the team play on campus. After this week's match against
Occidental College, fans can
watch games against CSU Long
Beach on April 9 at 3 p.m. and
versus Concordia University on
April 27 at 6 p.m. CSUSM lost
their last game in a nail-biter at
CSU Channel Islands, 14-13. .
CSUSM 6, La Sierra 1
Omahen: 9 strikeouts.
explained that if there are 300 athletes, 60 percent must be women
and 40 percent must be men in order to comply with Title IX. Similarly, CSUSM must provide an
equal opportunity when disbursing athletic scholarships, reflecting the female/male ratio proportionally, and the same is true for
providing benefits and opportunities. Title IX does not require
institutions to offer athletics programs , nor does it require offering
a specific number of teams. It also
does not require the same number
of teams for men and women.
"For men or women, what
sports [can] do as far as teaching life lessons is important,"
Milo said, adding that providing equal access to sports is
just "the right thing to do."

1996 "Three-Part Test," which
according to Bonnette's manual
are the major sources used for
specific requirements for athletics programs and interpretation of
Title IX regulations. Her manual
also describes the 1979 policy
as consisting of 13 components
separated into three categories of
compliance requirements, or the
"Three-Part Test." The three parts
are accommodation of interests
and abilities,financialassistance,
and benefits and opportunities.
Milo emphasized that for each
of the three parts, proportionality
is key, because Title IX requires
that institutions provide equal
treatment of participants in overall women's and overall men's
programs. As an example, Milo

Campfield expressed his love for
the event: "Just having the baton
in your hand, it's a good feeling,
knowing that everyone is counting on you. I like the pressure."
Campfield really likes the cama-
raderie and I-have-your-back attitude that comes from practicing
with the team. "It's easy to let
yourself down, but it's hard to let
your team down," he said, when
asked about the team aspect.
Campfield tends to feed
off the pressure that he
places upon himself.
This last week at Nationals, he placed an
impressive second in
the mile and third in
the half mile. In the
last 200 meters of
the mile race, Campfield propelled himself from 9th to 2nd.
"That's my favorite
part of the race, the
finish. It's what I run
the whole race for," he
said. Now that Nationals
has ended the indoor track
season, he looks forward
to the outdoor season because
more of his teammates compete.
. His goals for this outdoor season are to break four minutes in
the mile and figure out a way to
beat his nemesis, Silas Kisorio
of Oklahoma Christian, who has
beaten Campfield twice by less
than a second. He plans to prepare for the outdoor season by
putting in lots of miles and doing intensive interval workouts
that really push his limits. Mentally he likes to relax and not concentrate too much on the races.
He notices now after getting
back into running how much it
contributes to other aspects of his
life. He feels that running keeps
him more motivated, lively and
focused. He is even considering continuing to run after college. He plans to compete with
professionals at the USA Nationals and has the goal of possibly doing the Olympic trials
next year. Campfield also hopes
to remain active in running and
other sports in the future as well
as acquire a job in either professional sports or college athletics.
TOURNAMENT TIME IN TOWN
THE BEST P UCES TO WATCH MARCH MAOHESS
M ICHAEL R AWSON
SPORTS E DITOR
There are those who believe
the end of March deserves to be a
national holiday, while others just
enjoy the thrill of victory and the
agony of defeat. Then there are
the ones who are in it for the food.
March Madness—otherwise
known as the college basketball's
championship tournament—provides sports fans with everything
they could possibly dream of. The
first two days of the tournament,
March 17-18, games are played
four at a time from 9 a.m. until 9
p.m. This year, San Diego State
received a #2 seed, their best ever,
and look for their first ever tournament win on Thursday. While
some friends may be hosting parties in their homes, how many
people do you know with four
televisions in one room? The Pride
comes through with the places
you need to be this time around.
As ja first bet, Oggi's Pizza
and Brewing Company used to
be North County's finest. Saturated with flat screen televisions
and serving up delicious pizza
and salads, Oggi's wasn't to be
topped. Since moving out of their
location in the Westfield North
County Fair in Escondido, however, Oggi's now offers only their
Encinitas and Del Mar restau-
rants to North County viewers.
Still, seven scattered locations
remain in San Diego County.
Meanwhile, back at Westfield's
off of Via Rancho Pkwy, Oggi's
former location has been replaced
by something even better. Bringing friends who can't even spell
basketball? Stop by North County
Tavern and Bowl, where finding
something for everybody to do
couldn't be easier. The four-sided
bar allows even patrons passingby to stop for a beer and a game
without ever entering the tavern.
The Westfield parking lot remains
a Mecca for suds and sports, too.
Stop by BJ's (one of five in San
Diego County) for their giant
screen that automatically rotates
between 1-4 games at any time.
Pubs and bars can offer
fine viewing options as well.
Churchill's English Pub on San
Marcos Blvd. features the county's best beer selection and fine
pub grub. The Stadium in Encinitas gets pricey, but it might
be worth making reservations
during March Madness to sit
at one of their booths equipped
with its own flat-screen. For the
downtown-bound, keep pubs like
Hooley's (see Happy Hour of the
Week) and bars like the Tilted
Kilt (by Petco Park) in mind for
a more city-minded experience.
�S AN D IEGO CELEBRATES T HE GREENEST DAY OF T HE Y EAR:
ST. PATRICK'S D AY
LEXI POLLARD
P RIDE STAFF W RITER
St. Patrick's Day, the green
holiday that falls on March 17,
did not originate in Ireland. According to history.com, the United States of America held the first
St. Patrick's Day Parade in 1762
when Irish soldiers serving in the
English army displayed pride in
Irish roots with traditional music
and marching. Historically celebrated in the U.S., Canada and
Australia, recent celebrations
have undergone a transformation
in Ireland. The traditional use of
St. Patrick's Day as a religious
occasion now exists as a parade
in Dublin that attracts millions of
viewers. While Ireland, New York
City and Boston host St. Patrick's
Day parade celebrations and citizens of Chicago dye the Chicago
River green, San Diego offers
a multitude of diverse events.
St. Patrick's Day in the
Gaslamp Quarter consists of
the Miller Light ShamROCK,
an event filled with the sounds
of Irish rock, beverages and Astro Turf replacing the traditional
glamorous red carpet with a
"green" carpet. The eccentrically green celebration, dubbed
the "biggest St. Patrick's Day
block party west of the Mississippi" by SignOnSanDiego.com,
attracts up to 20,000 people per
year. Located at Sixth Avenue
and Market Street, this event
caters to and only allows guests
21 and up. The age restriction
will ensure an abundance of
green beer throughout the night.
If ShamROCK does not appeal to celebratory taste, Hooley's
Irish Pub and Grill in La Mesa
hosts Hooleyfest on St. Patrick's
Day. Hooleyfest lasts from 4 p.m.
- midnight, and those who celebrate with full festive force have
the option of free saferideshome night, but if one desires a calmer

tainment and dancing into the reservations and green attire.
Although St. Patrick's Day
did not expectedly originate in
Ireland and society commercialized traditions, residents of
San Diego can experience the
lighthearted fun this holiday encourages. Most local and public
events permit only those of legal
drinking age, but those excluded
always have the option of spending St. Patrick's Day pinching
those who forgot to wear green
to commemorate the holiday.

LAYOUT A SSISTANT
Looking for a five star restaurant located in San Marcos,
want to know where you can get
a hot dog at 11 p.m. or plan to
spend Spring Break in a new city
and have no clue what or where
to eat? No need to worry. The
Yelp app comes to the rescue.
With Yelp, users can locate all
nearby dining locations, browse
by their proximity, neighborhood, food pricing and even by
what is open at that exact time.
The Yelp app also allows you
quick and easy access to a large
collection of customer reviews,
allowing you to avoid terrible
eateries. But the Yelp app is not
only user for restaurant finds.
It also helps users find nonfood related necessities, such as
banks, drugstores, bars, shops
and gas stations in your area.
Released Feb. 10, this app sits
proudly on Time Magazines "50
Best iPhone Apps of 2011" for its
large array of information, clear
listings and user friendliness. The
Yelp app has all of the basic ingredients of a GPS app, but goes
a step further by including a large
selection of outside information.
The most impressive feature of
this app is when you are looking at a restaurant and decide to
make a reservation at the said restaurant, your phone can directly
connect you with the push of a
button. The Yelp app is available
in English, Dutch, French and
German. Yelp is available for the
leading smart phones like BlackBerry, iPhone and iPod Touch,
Android, Palm Pre, Yelp Mobile
and Windows Phone 7. Recently, Yelp caused a stir amongst
food lovers as an iPad app due
to the large screen for viewing
dishes from different restaurants.
Whether on the go, traveling out of town or just yearning to learn more about what is
in your community, the versatile Yelp app is perfect for you.

HAPPY HOUR O F THE WEEK:
HOOLEY'S IRISH PUB A ND GRILL
M ICHAEL R AWSON
S PORTS E DITOR
Of all the Irish-style pubs
in San Diego County that do
their best to imitate authentic
Irish haunts, Hooley's Pub and
Grill comes closest. The allwood décor really helps create
the Irish ambiance. And it isn't
just the decoration that helps
you feel like you are in Ireland.
Hooley's offers a plethora of
traditional Irish dishes on their
menu like corned beef and cabbage and boxtys (a stuffed potato pancake topped with cheese),
but what really makes this place
special is their Guinness-infused
meals: Guinness onion soup,
Guinness BBQ beef, even Guin-
ness ice cream, not to mention
pints upon pints of the delicious
beer itself. They also have a
wide range of beer on tap, from
the Irish red Smithwicks, the unfiltered Blue Moon and the ailAmerican Coors Light. Feeling
especially festive? Try a Black
and Tan (a pint layered with
Bass then Guinness) or a Snake
Bite (half Guinness and half cider). Beer not your thing? The
bar pours over a dozen different
types of whisky. Hooley's offers
something for everyone to help
them get into the party mood.
On Mondays, Hooley's runs
an all-day happy hour, as well as
a nightly late night happy hour
with $1 off draught beers, wine
and spirits, $2 off appetizers and
$3 off all bottles of wine. But the
deals don't end there - stop in
for $2 taco Tuesday, $10 Boxtys
Wednesdays and all you can eat
fish ' n chips on Sundays. So there
is no bad day to stop in for a pint.
Hooley's seems to cover all
its bases in satisfying different
types of personalities and taste
buds. They also show all major
sports events, including soccer, and they offer live music even a free ride home on nights
with big gigs (within a five mile
radius, of course - they have
to draw the line somewhere).
This St. Patrick's Day, throw
on your greenest of garb or most
Irish of outfits and saunter down
to one of Hooley's two locations, Rancho San Diego (2955
Jamacha Rd.) and La Mesa
(5500 Grossmont Center Dr.).

Opponents disagree, and according to www.theblaze.com,
the bill's supporters are ultimately trying to deny women
the reproductive health services
they need. In a statement to
NPR, Sarah Stoesz of Planned
Parenthood Minnesota informed
listeners that the majority of the
company's services are for reproductive health, family planning and cancer screening. She
added, "We're here to support
women, to offer the health services and information that they
need, and then to allow them to
make the best choice for them."
The Blaze article quoted Planned
Parenthood president, Cecile
Richards responding to the bill.
"We've been here for the past 95
years, and we'll be here for the
next 95." The article went on the
add that the bill would make it
harder for private sexual health
organizations, like the one across
"Not only are we compliant with
all state and federal laws, but

In an interview with The
Pride, Cathy Nguyen, a health

CSUSM student's fees and funding from the state of California

to assist students in reproductive health should Planned Parenthood not be able. She added
that students could feel comfortable that SHCS operates legally.

stated that "the faster you accelerate, the more gas you gorge."
A driver should pay close attention to the flow of traffic and anticipate how much to accelerate.
Although it maybe getting hotter outside, drivers should think
twice before turning on the AC,
because when in use, it increases
gas consumption by 10 percent.
Also, looking to roll down the
windows to deal with the heat can
actually be even worse than using
the AC. According to the DMV,
once a vehicle is going over 55
mph, the wind drag decreases
fuel efficiency more than the AC.
The vehicle's maintenance
greatly affects fuel efficiency. A
certified mechanic stated that cor-.
rect tire pressure is essential for
fuel efficiency, because the loss
of 10 pounds of pressure equals
a three to four percent drop in efficiency, Neglecting regular factory maintenance, such as oil and
fuel filter changes, can also decrease efficiency up to 20 percent.

Luckily, San Diego's beaches are
not far from San Marcos, though
none can compare to Rarotonga's picturesque coastline.
With a newly acquired taste for
fresh coconut milk, and the dis-

and being a part of a royal wedding made me realize how truly
fortunate I have been to see such
interesting and beautiful sights.

PRIDE STAFF W RITER
Never in my wildest traveling
dreams did I imagine a weeklong trip to an island with a circumference of only 20 miles.
This island, Rarotonga, captured my interest with not only
its unique name but with its intriguing culture and landscape.
Located in the Central-Southern Pacific Ocean, Rarotonga is an
archipelago in the Cook Islands.
My family and I happened to be
on this remote island through an
invitation to a special event: a
wedding between my second
cousin and the princess of Rarotonga. In November of 2002, my
pre-teen American self met the
laid-back nature of Rarotonga.
Upon landing on the island, I
thought the landscape to be similar to New Zealand with tropical
trees and views of a crystal clear
ocean. However, a tour in a Ze-
bra-striped painted van proved
me wrong. Green, luscious plantations covered the island, and I
couldn't help but notice the locals walking along the side of
the road. Every casually dressed
Rarotongan lacked the same article of clothing: shoes. Later, I realized the barefoot trend revealed
the island's relaxed atmosphere.
Servers at the restaurant at our
hotel were barefoot'as well, and
what did I do? I indulged in this
cultural phenomenon and walked
around town barefoot, too.
The most vivid image I carry
is the pool at our hotel. I remember spending hours in the pool
one day, which looked out over
the vast ocean. The outskirts of
the hotel were dotted with chickens and wild birds that begged
for scraps of food. One of the
most interesting sights was an
abandoned hotel, with windows
shattered and crumbling architecture. Its unkempt appearance
stood testament to the island's
gleefully disheveled personality.
During one of the last days of
my Rarotongan experience, my
family and I attended the wedding of my second cousin and
the princess of the island. The
wedding, held on a scorching
hot day on the white sands of
a gorgeous beach, exemplified
the culture's relaxed nature. The
bride wore delicate sandals, and
a flowing gown and presented
herself with poise and grace. At
the reception, the coconut trees
intrigued my cousin and me.
The groom helped us retrieve
a single tropical seed from the
tops of one of the towering trees.
Although I attended a wedding on one of the most exotic
places on Earth and found adventure on every corner of the island,
I most enjoyed the time I spent relaxing. My cousin and I received
pedicures at a local spa, lounged
by the pool and casually walked
around markets. As a busy college
student now, I think back to my

H OPPING O N T HE SPRINTER
AN AFTERNOON O N THE RAILS
N ANCY R OSSIGNOL
P RIDE STAFF W RITER
Unless you consider moving
exciting, my Spring Break was
nothing like a trip to Cancun.
The highlight of my week, aside
from avoiding any moving injuries, was the interesting afternoon
I spent riding the Sprinter train.
By midweek, I had settled in
to my new place in Vista, leaving
behind thefirsthalf of the semester and the long commute from
Fallbrook to campus. Now I am
less than a mile from the Vista
Transit Center and about nine
miles from campus. My main
motivation for the move from
Fallbrook to Vista was to save
time commuting, gas, money,
and^to avoid the stresses of driving in heavy traffic. What used to
take a tank of gas per week will
now take about one third of that.
My new place is very convenient to everything I need. I can
walk a half block to the nearest
bus stop, less than a mile to the
Sprinter, a light rail train running a span of 22 miles between
Escondido and Oceanside, and
back again, seven days a week
with newly extended weekend
hours. A single ride, one-way
trip, costs $2 or $1 for seniors
and disabled persons. A regional
day pass is $5, entitling passengers the use of Sprinter, Breeze,
Trolley and MTS regular buses
all day long. CSUSM students
can purchase a monthly pass
for $29, valid on Sprinter and
Breeze. Other discounts are
also available. See the complete
schedule of station locations, departure/arrival times, and ticket
prices at www.GoNCTD.com.
Most CSUSM students use
the Sprinter to travel to and from
campus, but I decided to explore
my new surroundings by taking
in all the stops and sights along
the Sprinter rails. My excursion
began with my parents at the Vista Transit Center at Santa Fe and
East Vista Way, just off the 78
freeway, where we found plenty
of parking and easily located
the user-friendly Ticket Vending Machine (TVM). Free parking and TVMs are available at
most Sprinter stations. We had no
problems inserting our $15 cash
for three tickets, but the machines
do accept major credit cards and
most debit cards. Passengers
can also purchase a Compass
Card: a refillable account card.
Since the Vista station is about
halfway down the line, we decided to head east to the end of
the track in Escondido then turn
around and ride the entire length
of the track to Oceanside for
lunch. The eastbound Sprinter
departed on time at 10:56 a.m. I
found the online schedule very
comprehensive since the trains
run about every half hour in both
directions. It took 20 minutes to
get to the CSUSM station, five
stops away from Vista, which
is exactly how long it takes me
to drive it in good traffic. The
walk from the Sprinter station
to campus is about the same as
walking from the X parking lot.
Going East past CSUSM, there
is only one stop before arriving
at the Escondido Transit Center. Once we arrived in Escondido, the Sprinter switched over
to the westbound track and we
headed back toward Oceanside.
The interior of the Sprinter
was clean, and there was plenty
of room for bikes, strollers, and
luggage. The seats were comfortable with lots of legroom, and the
windows provided a nice panoramic view of the springtime
scenery. Passengers consisted of
all age groups. Even the ticket
taker was friendly. The stations
were well maintained and seemed
secure. We just sat back, relaxed,
and enjoyed the 53-minute ride
from Escondido to Oceanside
with 15 stops along the way. The
ride was so quiet we thought the
Sprinter's power source must be
electrical, especially given the
name "light rail." It surprised
me to find that a clean burning
diesel engine powers the train.
The Oceanside Transit Center
is a major hub with connections
to the Breeze, Coaster, AmTrak,
Metrolink, and Greyhound. Passengers can travel on to popular
destinations in San Diego County
such as Balboa Park, PETCO
Park, the zoo, Old Town, the airport or the far-reaching transit
lines of AmTrak and Greyhound.
There are also plenty of sights
right in Oceanside including
museums and restaurants within
walking distance of the station,
not to mention the Oceanside
pier only four-blocks away. Since
the weather was on the chilly
side, we chose the closest place
we could find: a little burger
place near the Transit Store.
The next time you need to be

GOLF TEAMS SETTLE
FOR 7TH
CSUSM men's golf has furiously outpaced expectations this
year, racing to a #23 ranking behind captain and star Adam Loran. When they needed it most
at the CBU Spring Break Intercollegiate, Loran came through
once more—only this time his
teammates kept pace. The loaded tournament's third and last
round proved invaluable for the
Cougars, who collectively shot
7 over par on the day, a fantastic result. Led by Loran's 71
(-1) and Robert Nicanor's 72
(E), the Cougars placed 7th in
the field of 16, eight of whom
were also ranked in the top 25.
The women's team faced
an even tougher challenge last
week, traveling to San Luis
Obispo to take part in the Lamkin Grip/Cal Poly Challenge.
Coming off the high of winning
their home tournament, the Lady
CÖügar Invitational, and finishing 8th at the women's CBU
Spring Break Intercollegiate,
the LG/CPC allowed CSUSM
to face off against NCAA-level
golfers. The Lady Cougars could
only muster a two-day score of
678, good for 7th out of nine.
Lisa Copeland led the way with
a second-day 79 to place 21st.

RODGERS SHINES AT SURF CHAMPIONSHIP
ASHLEY DAY
A&JE E DITOR
Saturday, March 12 and Sunday, March 13, CSUSM's surf
team traveled to Huntington
Beach and competed in the National Scholastic' Surfing Association's (NSSA) Interscholastic State Championships.
The A team came in 6th of 16,
while the B team finished 13th,
their best ranking of the season.
The competition held a number of categories including,
college men's, college women'^ and college longboard.
A team longboarder and surf
team treasurer, Mick Rodgers,
excelled in the competition. He
finished as the Runner-Up State
Champion to SDSU's Jon Hoover.
"[Rodgers] has been a contributor in many ways since day
one of his involvement," Dr.
Amber Puha, professor in the
department of mathematics and
surf team faculty advisor said.
Rodgers, a senior, is finishing
hisreignonCSUSM'steamstrong.
He has been a member of the surf
team since his freshman year.
' The A team shortboard
women, Kaitlin Maguii^and Annie Howe, also had excépfipnal
performances," Dr. Puha said.
Maguire and Howe finished fourth and fifth , in
the college womens round.
CSUSM's surf team .started
in January 2002. In 2009, our
team won thè National Championship. Since its inception,
the CSUSM surf team benefited from a steady flow of
strong longboard competitors.
Past surfers Dystin Franks,
Chris Smith and Christian
Clark contributed to putting
CSUSM's surf team on, the map.
Franks competed on the very
first team and scored at least
one State Championship. Smith
earned the 2007 State Champion and Runner-Up National
Champion and Clark seized the
2008 National Championship.
"It's a really interesting phenomenon that's happened since the
inception of the team. The longboarders really contribute a lot to
the team points " Dr. Puha said.
The surf team competes in
three competitions in the fall
and one in early January. To
get involved with the surf team,
you may tryout in early fall, approximately three weeks into
the semester. There's a chance
to make it onto either the A
team, composed of the strongest surfers or the B team, consisting of surfers at all levels.
Participating on the surf team
is an excellent way to contribute to CSUSM and live up to the
rich beach life San Diego offers.
In addition, the surf team helps
build bonds with other students.
'These students bond on the
beach, and they create what
seems to be lasting friendships
that will go beyond their years
at CSUSM," Dr. Puha said.
Next season, MiraCosta College transfer student Ashley
Aronson will be the next surf
team captain. He will bring his
surfing skills to CSUSM and
hopefully can lead the surf team
to another National Championship. Dr. Puha is excited to
see what next season brings.
CSUSM will send the
A team to the National Championships in June.
The NSSA National College Surfing Championships

everything those aforementioned
men of Radiohead created, but I

incarnation of when Bob Dylan

it, and some people hated it.
I also imaged that "The King

HAULING OUR DEGREES TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINES
GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE NO LONGER HOLDS PROMISE OF EMPLOYMENT
M ELANIE S L O C U M
P RIDE STAFF W R I T E R
The percent of unemployed
college graduates in the United
States under the age of 25 is 11.2
percent, the percent of unemployed graduate school graduates is even higher (New York
Times). Why are we flinging
ourselves into lava pits? Well,
it's not a leap; it's a fall down a
tunnel. What other options do we
have as we exit high school? We
are conditioned from our youth to
believe in the importance of going to college. But, now that I'm
weeks from graduation, I have
but one question: Now what?
In his 2011 State oLthe Union
Address, President Obama remarked that nearly half of the
new jobs in the next 10 years will
require a college degree (Whitehouse.gov). And we've all been
told before that the best thing
to do in an economic recession
is to attend school so that when

FAREWELL ADVICE FROM THE EDITOR-IN-rfllEF
S A N D R A C HALMERS
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
As I take my last walks up
and down the cliffs of stairs that
compose most of this campus, I
think back 'on all the things that
as a freshman I wish I knew and
the most important lessons that
my education has armed me with.
So to benefit the student population I will be leaving behind as I
graduate this May, I offer some
honest truths about college life.
Professors want to hear
more
than
your
stomach
growling
in
class:
Professors want students to ask
questions in class, I learned in my
Communication 200 course, debate and persuasion , the essential
step in thinking critically is to ask
questions, and if there are no questions being asked in class then
critical thinking could quite possibly be absent. Professors aim
to fuel your understanding, your
thought process on the material
and if the content is too difficult
to follow, tuning out and thinking about a Mr. Taco breakfast
burrito will not help you engage
in the material, I know, its hard,
but reading the material prior to
class helps reinforce your true
understanding. Getting questions
answered as the class progresses
keeps you from getting stuck
at midterm, review with 25 topics you can't find on Wikipedia.
If you're going to buy the text. book, make sure to read it:
We all know the familiar heart-
break of paying $136 for a textbook that was never opened and
then got denied buy back. That
slap in the face happens all to often, so invest ig your investments,
make your textbooks your best
friends, after all we know they
have the right answers in them
to guarantee you a perfect grade.

'
What's even worse is that nobody cares; at least, not enough
do. Why aren't more students
angered by this? The economy is
something we have little control
over, but our voices are something we do. While there have
been significant efforts to raise
awareness and protest tuition
increases on this campus, the
amount of student turnout at these
events is negligible, and embarrassing. This issue affects all of
us students, yet nobody can seem
to envision anything beyond final exams. Wake up CSUSM.
As I leave this university, I've
been slapped in the face with a
bleak reality beyond the Utopia of
undergraduate education. Know
that doom's day is coming, and
know that as students, you can
change this, and should. Of all
environments to speak your mind
in, college is probably the most
accommodating you will experience. Speak up for your education, speak up for yourself. Take
advantage of your own voice,
stop expecting others to do it for
you, and know that if you don't,
your investment into a lie will

Cell phone in class, means l
sing your ringtone in class:
I will never forget the time I sang
the chorus for the song "Tipsy" by
J-Kwon in front of my sociology
class after my phone rang. The
rules of the land were, "phone
rings, then you must sing." My
unfortunate taste in ringtone denied me the chance slip by humming a simple tune, but my impromptu performance branded me
to never allow phone interruptions
during any class again, or you
may never know what embarrassing consequences there maybe.

late:
My favorite class, at the early
hour of 10 a.m, became a phenomenon for my time keeping
abilities. Arriving right at 10 a.m
meant a lengthy search for a chair
or possibly sitting at the uneven
desk in the corner that squawked
with every movement of a pencil .
My professor seemed to understand this phenomenon and would
stop at mid sentence to cheerfully
invite me to class with a "Oh hi
there, great that you made it."
Her genuine invitation felt like
daggers to my embarrassment, a
perfect cure to understanding that
being on time is already too late.

in-betweeners? What are we supposed to do for the next 9 years?
I 'd like to enjoy my 20s, not eat
ramen noodles until I'm over 30.
Not only do more than 11 percent of college students graduate unemployed, but they do so
with excessive debt. Our parents
and teachers indoctrinated us
to believe that getting a Bachelor's degree is an investment
in our future, so 53 percent of
full-time students take out loans
(National Center for Education
Statistics). But what happens
when that future holds no promise? We have invested into a lie.
Not only do unemployed-tobe students already graduate with
massive debt, but state governments are making it increasingly
more difficult for students to afford a public education. In 2011
alone, the cost of tuition for a
CSU undergraduate rose an additional 10 percent (calstate.
edu), making the amount of
debt students graduate with even
higher, while creating an inverse
relationship with the success in
finding a job after we graduate.

explain to every interested student, teacher and faculty member
that many people don't know that

and can even lower blood pressure rates. All of the five or six

Friends are an extremely important
factor in any romantic relationship. Aside
from sharing a friendship between the
two of you, you both need to maintain
relationships with your mutual and separate friends. These friendship ties can he

with your friends, all you can do is talk to
him about this matter. Let him know that
you want to enjoy time with him, but you

A couple should not monopolize one another—if he has trouble understanding this

foreign
students?
Studying in a different country is a
great educational opportunity—new cultures, landscapes, languages, and people
can greatly enhance your overall life experience. If you are looking to connect with
others while studying abroad, be cautious.
Use street smarts and be wary of those
who could potentially take advantage of
your money, your information, or your
heart. I would advise keeping relationships on the lighter side—falling headover-heels for someone while studying in
a foreign country can have a heavy effect
on your educational plans as well as your
emotions. If you are looking for romance,
look for it in the history and art of the culture. Chances are, you will discover likeminded people who you can connect with
as you explore the country. Use email or
social networking to stay in touch upon
return—you individual experience will
determine to what extent you continue
any friendships or relationships. Be smart,
be yourself, and enjoy your time abroad.

The Buggies lamented that
"video killed the radio star"
with their classic 1979 single,
but CSUSM students are proving that radio rules the airwaves
once again. Broadcasting live
from campus, CSUSM College
Radio is gaining a reputation as
one of the leading media and entertainment sources for CSUSM
students. The organization was
recently recognized as the Best
New Student Org for 2011 at the
Tukwut Leadership awards night.
CSUSM College Radio began in Spring 2010 as a student
project in Dr. Youwen Ouyang's
software engineering class. Rosario Vizcaino was the mastermind
behind this idea, founding the radio program in spite of the obstacles involved in taking on such a
large project. "I had proposed the
idea of starting a web-based radio
since there was no radio on campus. My classmates thought the
project was very difficult to do,
so they opted for another project
and the group dropped the idea.
I then proceeded on my own and
within about two weeks the radio
was created," Vizcaino stated.
In a year's time, CSUSM Col-

spiration to reality. In 2010, Student Life and Leadership formally
recognized the radio program as a
student organization. The Student
Media Advisory Council (SMAC)
now recognizes the program as
an official student media outlet.
CSUSM College Radio is a
web based radio station that is
run "by students for the students"
according to its website, www.
csusm.info. Students can tune in
to several different shows, view a
schedule of show content and air
times, and contact the radio program via chat or messages. The
station features a variety of music
to suit any taste, so there is something for every CSUSM student.
Campus news and events are also
broadcast through the CSUSM
radio ether; the program often
makes an appearance at various
CSUSM happenings to give entertainment and live coverage.
Because of its primary focus
on student interests, CSUSM
College Radio strives to show appreciation for its audience. "Currently, we support all campus
orgs through live performances
and by advertising their events on
the web based radio page as well
as Facebook. We also host radio
shows where any interested student can participate. We promote
STUDENT ORG 2011
diversity and encourage campus
involvement," Vizcaino said.
A positive, fast-paced future is
in store for CSUSM College Radio. Vizcaino assured students and
faculty that "interest for the radio
program is growing very rapidly.
I hope that soon we can have our
own official studio. Currently we
use the services provided by the
library such as the music studios
to broadcast live on our page. We
are currently in the development
of creating a training to show students how to DJ. We find there
to be a demand for DJ's and we
certainly would encourage those
who have a passion for music to
participate, we'll train you and
guide you. Currently, we have a
radio class taught by Joan Anderson. The class covers broadcast
and journalism for radio, print,
and web. It's a very good class for
those interested in radio broadcasting. This class helps us with
our different shows, as we have
to write scripts and agenda's that
prepare us for our live shows."
All are welcome to join
CSUSM College Radio meetings
every Monday from 1 - 2 p.m.
University Hall 458. For more

COUGARAPPS: A PREVIEW OF
CSUSM'S NEWEST ONLINE SERVICE
C HRIS G IANCAMILLI
M EDIA M ANAGER
This fall, Cal State San Marcos
will offer a new service to students
called CougarApps. CougarApps
allows all students and faculty to
download software available on
campus computers from the comfort of their homes. Through CougarApps, users can gain access to
programs such as SPSS, Maple,
MatLab, Crystal Ball, MiniTab,
NVIVO, and Adobe CS5. This
service is available for PC, Mac,
iPad, iPhone, Droid and any device with an Internet browser.
To access CougarApps, students and faculty can use their Internet browsers to access https://
cougarapps.csusm.edu.
From
there, users log in with their
CSUSM user-name and password
to download a browser plug-in.
Once the plug-in is installed, students can utilize any of the programs available from the list to
continue the work they started
at school. Many of the programs
offered are used in the labs on
campus, so any projects students
begin using school computers
can continue from anywhere a
student has Internet access. In
the fall, all instructor stations
and lab computers will come
equipped with CougarApps.
Unfortunately, not all campus
programs are available on CougarApps. Software licensing issues prevent CSUSM to make
every campus program available
for home use. CougarApps will
be available for free to all students and faculty next semester.

Do we use more paper, so we
recycle it more? With there being over 20 vending machines,
a cafeteria and a market, do we
sell and then recycle more plastic
bottles and cans? An unproven
rumor has been floating around
campus implying the main reason why we win each year is
that our campus janitorial staff
is specifically trained to separate
the recyclable materials out from
the trash. According the rules of
RecycleMania, "The competition's goal is to increase student
awareness and involvement in
campus recycling through collaboration and partnership with
participating schools," and says
nothing about the legality of
janitorial help within the competition. If the main goal of the
competition is get student to participate in recycling and we are
having the hard-working janitorial staff do most of the work for

CAMPUS CALLS FOR STUDENT INTERNS
GET CREDIT, GET PAID, GET EXPERIENCE
S ANDRA C HALMERS
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
Resumes, cover letters, interviews and business suits all
ring the familiar bell of the rigorous race for employment and
as the weather heats up, so does
the competition for internships.
Though finding internships
relevant to your job field may
seem impossible, many opportunities actually exist closer than students may think.
Our campus features a variety of internship opportunities
available to students in many
disciplines all geared to provide
valued work experience. Specialized internships available on
campus include disciplines such
as health education, multimedia,
Sociology, and Kinesiology, just
to name a few. Using our university resources makes finding
and applying for these internships a simple hasslefreeprocess.
Some internships are unpaid, while others may offer
course credit. The most rewarding element of internships is the
priceless in-action experience.
The H.O.P.E (Health, Outreach, Promotion, Education) and
Wellness Center in connection
with Student Health and Counseling Services offer an internship opportunity composed of
students working to educate peers
by leading group discussions,
marketing campus awareness
events and aiding in the planning
and facilitating health workshops.
This internship requires about six
to eight hours of work per week.
Those interested in this internship
opportunity can contact Cathy
Nguyen, CSUSM's Health Educator, at cnguyen@csusm.edu.
Those with experience in website development, multimedia and
HTML can apply for an internship
to maintain a website for Kamp
Katrina. Kamp Katrina is a camp
that provides shelter to city street
musicians in New Orleans and is
in need of an intern that can assist in updating the website regularly. Those interested can also
receive internship units for Visual
and Performing Arts or Literature and Writing Studies. Interested applicants can contact lead
supervisor for the project, Dr.
Dawn Formo, Associate Dean for
Instruction and Academic Programs, at dformo@csusm.edu.
Internships available exclusively to Kinesiology majors at
the Clarke Field House present
opportunity for work in personal
training, ASI recreation and in
athletic training. Research opportunities within Kinesiology
offer a wide range of concentration topics and can also receive
internship units within the major. For more details and contact
information, visit www.csusm.
e du/kinesiology/interships.
Sociology internships present
a unique chance to "shadow" an
expert in the field of your choice
at a local agency; students may
present their suggestions for expert and agency prior to registering for internship credit and must
seek department approval. This
internship opportunity ranks high
among Sociology and Criminal
Justice majors as it is a required
capstone course need for graduation. Approval instructions and a
list of local agencies can be found

PAR FOR THE COURSES
EXPERIENCE SAN DIEGO GOLFING
O WEN HEMSATH
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
The golf course may not be
the first place a college student
turns to for hot summer fun,
but an afternoon at the green
could turn out to be the best decision you make this summer.
Filled with fresh grass, clear
water ponds, ducks and funny
shoes, golf courses in San Marcos offer a great and relaxing
way to enjoy the summer sun
without exhausting your wallet or
your patience. Golf courses typically offer beverage services with
products ranging from a classic
Coke to bitter brews, and carry all
the excitement and fun associated
with an afternoon around friends
minus the crowds and the costs.
Golfing also provides its participants with a variety of sporting
options, and courses in the North
County area typically offer accommodations for beginners. For
example, while 18 holes may be a
bit much for newbie (as this may
take three to four hours of play
time), playing.the front or "back
9" holes could be an awesome
way to spend some time with
goodfriendsin good conversation
and practice that swing you've
been meaning to improve. No
clubs — no worries. Golf courses
offer rental clubs for daily use or
individual clubs for purchase in
case you'd like to build up your
set, and most courses offer drink
services along the way. Tee times
can range from $20 to $40 depending on your course and cart.
If a round is not your thing,
try the putting greens. Like a
mini-golf course without the
2-year olds (or the windmillshey, you can't have it all) the
putting greens allow a slower
pace for practicing putts while
still providing the same sunlight
and bar service you have come to
expect from a golf course. While
the greens only require a putter
and don't cost a thing, it's wise
to respect the tranquil environment known of sport while in this
arena. If chatter and laughs are
more your game the perhaps the
driving range could be your thing.
The driving range is a place
where you can release the stress
of finals without any concern
for property. Golf courses provide hundreds of square yards
of grass (and sometimes water)
where you can whack those golf
balls as hard as you want. There
are even times when a man drives
through the field in a protected
vehicle to collect the various golf
balls — pretend he's a teacher
or an unruly student or that seriously tough exam and do your
worst. The driving range is a
great place to release some energy, practice your swing, and
chat with some friends. Plus, it's
not to far from the drink service
and a small bucket of balls can
cost anywhere from $4 to $6.
So don't knock it before you
try it. Golfing could be the unlikely hero of your next outing
with friends. Try something new,
and get out to the greens this
summer. If you don't have the
balls, you can buy some there.

HOW BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL TBADED PLACES
M ICHAEL R AWSON
SPORTS E DITOR
Funny
how
a
weekend can change everything.
While the CSUSM baseball team rose to unprecedented heights on Saturday, the
Softball team, without warning, suddenly fell to earth.
The baseball team reigns as
A.I.I. (American Independent Institutions) champion. The Softball
team is champion of the couch.
Last week, the Softball team
soared to #2 in the national
rankings, with a 39-7 record.
The baseball team, meanwhile,
won nine of their last 10, which
still left them#at 32-17, and out
of the top 25 altogether. Baseball received 4 points in the
May 3 poll. Softball got 648.
Last week, the A.I.I. named
Brenna Sandberg pitcher of the
year, and named Dave Williams
coach of the year. The baseball
team was still named the Cougars.
Last month, baseball entered
April looking pedestrian, with
a record of 18-12. The softball team entered April looking like Godzilla eating pedestrians, with a record of 29-5.
Last year, baseball feebly
bowed out of the All. championship, losing both of their games.
Softball, led by perfect pitching
from Brenna Sandberg, swept
their side of the A.I.I. championship. Then they won a few games
in the national championship
tournament for good measure.
But last week, the baseball
team boarded a plane bound for
Thomasville, GA, ready to take
their place as the #1 seed in the
conference tournament, cool and
full of confidence. The softball
team traveled only in a procession
of cars, down Highway 78 to the
CarlsbadMarriottoacceptawards.
In fairness, the other softball
squads traveled long distances to get to San Marcos. Most
were as tough as hour-old ballgame gum, and they were ready.
As usual, hardly anyone
touched Sandberg, who allowed
4 runs in 3 games. But the pitching dominance of the opposition — for once — would be
the Cougars's downfall, as the
powerful San Marcos lineup
managed only 1 run in both of
their shocking losses to Simon
Fraser and Houston-Victoria.
Back in Georgia, pitchers
might have well been replaced
with pitching machines. The big
bats of Johnny Omahen and Austin Coleman led the Cougars to
10, 21, and 10 runs in their three
victories, but they never looked
like sure winners. Yet victorious
they were, escaping in a week-
end firelight reminiscent of that
last scene in Scarface, entering an unfamiliar field and gunning down Thomas University
and Houston-Victoria (twice) to
automatically advance to the
NAIA national championships.
Softball, meanwhile, was
Tony Montana, powerful and
prominent, landing shots and
scoring a victory, but ultimately
getting gunned down in thenown home. How could this happen? A t. the CSUSM baseball
field on Saturday, there were
no celebrations, no interviews,
no answered questions. The
hosts had left the premises.
The championship field will
be announced this week, but the
golden girls must sit at home in
suspense and wait for a phone
call from the NAIA, wondering if the committee will choose
them as , a at-large bid for the national tournament in Alabama.
Any team ranked #2 nationally
just a week before the decision
should expect to be selected.
But there are only 4 spots to fill.
With this collapse, who knows?
CSUSM
baseball
players will wake up this week and
worry about the finals they must
study for and the papers they
will research and write, trying to maintain their focus in
the midst of their excitement.
Softball players will try to
overcome the anxiety of the unknown, hoping to get one last
shot. If their fortunes turn better
than Tony Montana's, and they
are given new life, expect nothing less than a championship effort. This was an accident. Coach
Williams's team can beat anyone, and given another chance,
it just might beat them all.

The Warped Tour, created by

crowd in the tour's early years
of the nineties, guaranteeing a
solid future for the annual event.
Originally, the tour featured
many bands pertaining to the
punk rock genre. Over the last few
years though, the music scene of
the tour has changed along with
the constantly changing generation of attendees and the tour has
night and each band plays about
a 30 minute set that usually intertwines or shares the times of
other bands on separate stages,
giving visitors the opportunity to
set up their own schedule of who
they want to see. Some of the artists featured on this year's main
stage are Gym Class Heroes,
Paramore, The Devil Wears Prada, Jack's Mannequin and many
more. Booths are set up on the
tour's grounds where attendees
tors could even meet up with the
bands after their sets). The event
has also taken opportunities to
conserve and recycle with the
Warped Tour Initiative, by saving
on fuel for buses, encouraging
guests to recycle for prizes and
even using a solar-powered stage.
This summer, Warped Tour

E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
<
Sebastian Maselli, a Mass Media senior in collaboration with
fellow CSUSM student Ryan
Smith, worked together for what
first began as a class film project that in turn grew to become a
voice of a generation. Screening
their work at this year's National
G.I Film Festival in Washington,
D.C, "Blood We Shed," surrounds
the lives of three injured Marines
that recall their experiences in
Iraq and expose truths about
life on and «off the battle field.
The Pride: What/who inspired you to create this film?
Sebastian Maselli: I was inspired by the stories of the Marines that I have served with,
they are the definition of toughness and determination. The
film began as a class project
with my partner Ryan Smith in
Professor Jonathon Berman's
documentary class in 2009.

future?
SM: I hope to start my own
production company and start
working on my projects; I have
so many ideas and opportunities
that I just want to get started. I
will be finished with my Mass
Media Production degree this semester, but I am staying in school
to finish a Film/Video Production

More options for summer vacation
M O R G A N HALL
LAYOUT A SSISTANT
With finals week in sight
and the semester coming to an
end, students have no doubt
been thinking about planning their summer plans.
Some students have plans
to travel to far off places such
as Finland or Africa. Others are
visiting family members both
away and back home. While the
rest of our students have no clue
what to do this summer and just
look forward to enjoying three months
f
^ ^ ^ doing what ever
they
want. If you
don't have
any plans
and love cars
and
music, then this
summer has
multiple options for you.
Do you enjoy looking at
c ustom
cars and hot-rods? Then Cruisin'
Grand in Escondido is the place
for you and the best part is that it
is free. This year's Crusin' officially opened April 1 and runs
eveiy Friday night 5 - 9 p.m. until
Sept. 30. Only a month into the
2011 season, Crusin" has already
hosted 700 cars and
2 2,000
spectators, This ann u a1
event allows peop 1e
to spend a few
hours in
downtown Esc ondido
meeting
friends and
enjoying cool
cars, listening
to independent
bands and eating
great food. Restaurants and pubs
located on and around Grand Avenue are open late hours on Friday night and occasionally have
specials for spectators. Parking
for Cruisin' Grand
is located on Grand
Avenue and all
side streets from
E scondido t o
Ivy
Street.
If
you
love
all
types of cars, or anything with a motor, then
you are going to love this years
San Diego County Fair. The San
Diego County Fair, formally
known as thé Del Mar Fair, has
the theme of Race to the Fair
and celebrates modern and historic automobiles. Opening June
10 and running until July 5 and
closed June 13,20 and 17, the fanis an annual tradition not to be

over uic
years, this

remain
at $13
for
~
A/
a dults,
$7 children 6-12 and seniors 62 and older. This year the
fair hosts a ton of "special days"
where tickets prices are reduced
or ride prices are cut. The best
deal for the fair is on June 14 and
tickets are only $3 when you buy
them through an Albertsons or
Sav-on location. Though the fanis known for selling food that

Summer is finally here, and
some of the most anticipated
movies of the year are coming
to a theatre near you very soon.
"Thor" and "Fast Five" are already tearing up the box office,
but The Pride provides a guide
to the many other soon-to-be
blockbusters that everybody's
looking forward to this summer.
"Pirates of the Caribbean:
On Stranger Tides"
(May 20)
The fourth film in the incredibly lucrative "Pirates" franchise
doesn't star Orlando Bloom, Kiera Knightley or any of the million subplots that plague the
last two films, but it does see
Johnny Depp's long-awaited return as good old Captain Jack.
Even better, the beautiful Penelope Cruz joins Jack on his
search for the fountain of youth,
and the return of his frequently-lost ship, the Black Pearl.
"The Hangover Part II" f
(May 26)
While it may seem hard to
Fun Facts-
" Autobots, roll
O ptimus Prime voicecFb;
top the comedic genius of the
first film, "the wolfpack" is back
for more, this time on a journey
to find the younger brother of
Stu's (Ed Helms) fiancée, who
they lose in the middle of Bangkok after yet another night of
drug-induced madness. A monkey, a Mike-Tyson face tattoo
and a rumored celebrity cameo all factor into the mystery.
"Green Lantern''
(June 17)
"Green Lantern" has been
hotly anticipated by comic geeks
the world over, partially because
the titular hero is the first DCcomics character beside Superman and Batman to get his own
film. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, a playboy test
pilot who becomes a superhero
when he is given a powerful ring
by an extraterrestrial and must
use his newfound powers to protect Earth from the forces of evil.
"Cars 2"
(June 24)
The first direct Pixar sequel since the Toy Story movies, "Cars 2 " sees Lightning
McQueen (Owen Wilson) on
a cros^-qpuntîy, toyp* to
|he
prestigious World Grand Prix,
while his best pal Mater (Larry,
the Cable Guy) gets caught up in
a world of espionage and intrigue
when he is recruited as a spy.
"Transformers:
Dark of the Moon"
(July 1)
While a worldwide success,
the second "Transformers" film
wasn't incredibly popular with
critics, or Megan Fox for that
matter, who left the production's
third installment. However, the
trailer promises some epic action that few will be able to resist,
as the Autobots race to reach an
important artifact on the moon
before the evil Decepticons do.
"Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows: Part II"
(July 15)
To call the eighth Harry Potter
film the most anticipated film of
the summer would be an understatement, the most anticipated
film of the past decade would
be a more reasonable label. The
final installment of the most successful film franchise, in history,
picks up where the last film left
off and promises to tie up all the
loose ends, with lots of typically
great performances and nonstop 4ctiony,ail in glojjous 3D.

The Visual and Performing Arts Department hosted
its tenth annual dance concert
performance, "OffCentre,"
May 5 - 6 in Arts 111.The
free event provided
an opportunity
for dance
students to share
concepts through
movement and to
"open up expectations of what
dance is to the public," said Karen
Schaffman,
Associate Professor
of Dance and Production Director.
T he. student-run
stage production
featured 11 works
created by dance
students and faculty. Participants
chose their own
genre, theme, costumes and music
using elements and
techniques learned
in Choreography,
„ Contemporary
Technique, Global
Modern Dance and
Theatre Production
and Design classes.
Genres included
a mix of ballet,
jazz, street, hip-hop
and global modern
daiice, beginning
with an emotive,
contemporary piece
called "Jar of Hearts."
Dancers performed to the
disjointed rhythms of Beats
Antique in "UNO," a street
dance with an urban flare.
An energetic performance
matic portrayal of a modern
love triangle in "Bitter Sweet."
Two impeccably timed,
lively dances picked up the
pace just before intermission
in "Le Jazz Hot" and "Creature of the Night," a sexy burlesque combination of works
to music by Cher, Queen
Latifah, Marilyn Monroe and
Christina
Aguilera.
The
mood
turned somber after
inter
mission in
"The Red
C," a work dedicated to thousands of
dolphins slaughtered in Taiji,
Japan, by a group of six choreographers and dancers. With
a video running in the background from the 2009 docu-
mentary "The Cove," dancers
moved fluidly about the stage
like a community of dolphins
ending in agonizing death.
In "Tribute to
Tagore,"
Dance 320 students performed
pieces to a collection of poems by Rabindranath Tagore
(1861-1941). Born in Calcut-
ta, India, Tagore was the first
Asian to receive the Nobel
Prize for Literature in 1913
as a poet, novelist, playwright
and visual artist. Tagore challenged traditional Indian dances, according to the "OffCentre" program, by focusing on
"naturalistic expression of
human emotional experience." In the first
dance recognizing a collection
of ppems by
Tagore, dancers
moved
around the
stage with
tea lights in
their hands,
forming
two symmetrical circles center
stage, then
merging together in a
spectacular
natural light
show.
A
t raditional
Indian harvest dance
followed,
inspired
by Bengali
folk music
r epresenting seasons ;
and village
life, including traditional hand
movements
such as the
"bird" and
the "locust,"
dancer Chanel
Bradley
said.
Two
groups choreographed and _
performed beautifully in "Reflection" and "Trouble
is a Friend" to music
by Lenka. An ensemble
of five energetic hip hop
numbers with music by Rihanna, Sucka Free CJ, Ke$ha,
Usher, and Pink completed the
evening in the crowd-pleasing finale "World War You."

HIGHWAY
COMPANION
AMY SALISBURY
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
As the semester comes to a
close, many of us students plan
for fun that can't be had during
our normal school schedules.
One pivotal college experience is
quite simple, not that expensive,
and can (potentially) reveal a lot
about you and the personalities of
those you travel with: road trip.
My limited knowledge of
long-term travel has led me to
one conclusive thought: road
trips are made or broken by the
music that accompanies them.
You might get stuck with the annoying guy who hogs the chips
or the relative who snores, but
strategically placed tunes tend
to fix most anything within
the square footage of a sedan.
Some songs beg for the road.
I don't know what it is about me
and Cameron Crowe films, but
"Tiny Dancer" by Elton John
as utilized in "Almost Famous"
is practically anthemic in the
context of a highway. Another
Crowe movie, "Elizabethtown,"
with its indulgent use of the
mix tape, uses John's "My Father's Gun" as another powerful
tune with a resonating chorus.
For some reason, Crosby,
Stills, Nash and Young are the
best representation of '70s music I can come up with. Along
with Jackson Browne and James
Taylor, road trip playlists will
have that special bit of nostalgia
combined with just damn good
lyrics. Key tracks: "Helpless,"
"Sky Blue and Black," "Running
on Empty" and "Fire and Rain "
With every classic, there must
be something modern for balance. Kings of Convenience, an
electro-folk pop band, bring that
special mix of composition and
jive to playlists with songs like
"I'd Rather Dance with You"
and "Know How " Icelandic artist Bjork has a track called "All
is Full of Love" that has as much
electrónica as it does emotion.
As for a playlist's requisite
rock, Led Zeppelin's "Since I've
Been Loving You" is a must.
[For the best vibe, use the live
version off "How the West Was
Won." All the imperfections
make it sound fresh.] Although
incomparable, The Black Keys
have some purely rocking songs
that are easy to listen to and almost pop-driven. Some of the
band's road-ready tracks include
"Do the Rump," "Everlasting
Light" and "Thickfreakness."
A few tunes for good measure: "Dress Looks Nice on
You" by Sufjan Stevens, "All I
Need" by Radiohead, "Ragged
Wood" by Fleet Foxes, "Gray
Stables" by Iron & Wine, "Natural Anthem" by the Postal Service, "Saturday Sun" by Nick
Drake, "Harvest Moon" by Neil
Young and "Hold Music" by
Architecture in Helsinki. Of
course, these are just my personal
playlist standbys. Humor me.
Although I know (and you can
surely tell) that I haven't included
all that I want to, there's one song
I just couldn't feel right about
leaving off a road trip playlist:
"America" by Simon and Garfunkel. The lyrics portray the innocence of youth in an epic way,
I'd recommend beginning the
road trip with this track. I guarantee it will make you feel free.
Good playlists have variety and feeling. They must be
tailored to fit individual tastes
but familiar enough to have the
right energy. Enjoy the trip and
absorb the music. No matter - how many miles you travel, it
will go quicker than you think.

never read a "Thor" comic, there
is no need to worry; the storyline
is simple enough for everyone to
understand. The film also subtly
introduces the superhero Hawkeye. So subtly in fact that unless
you have been following "The
Avengers" on IMDb.com, you
would have no idea that Jeremy
Renner's tiny role in "Thor" is setting up "The Avengers" storyline.
I say hands down this movie
is fantastic and will no doubt
excel in the box office the entire
summer, or at least until "Captain

July, but the only filing I feel that
fell short was the computerized
scenory. With "Avatar" paving
the way and introducing a new
film future of crystal clean, realistic scenery, "Thor" could have
been top notch, if only they had
implemented this new technique,
A word to the wise, stay until the very end of the film. Stay
glued to your seat and continue
to watch past the closing credits. There is a clip exploring an
alternate ending, hinting at next
summer's "Avenger" movie.
