N obel-Prize-Winning-Economist
S peaks at C al
S tate S an M arcos
By ADRIAN CUNDIFF /
Pride Staff Writer
Last Thursday, room 240 in the
new Arts Building was almost
filled to capacity as Nobel-Prizewinning economist Douglass C.
North answered the question,
"Why are some nations wealthier
than others?" as part of the
CSUSM Arts & Lecture Series.
According to the official
website of the Nobel Foundation, in 1993, North and fellow
Economist Robert W. Fogle were
co-recipients for the Nobel Prize.
They won it "for having renewed
research in economic history by
applying economic theory and
quantitative methods in order
to explain economic and institutional change." Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, North
was accepted to go to Harvard
but opted to attend the University
of California at Berkeley because
his family had moved to San
Francisco. In his college years he
was actively involved in student
liberal activities and was opposed
to US involvement in World War
II, until Hitler invaded the communist Soviet Union. His acceptance of Marxism in his college
years helped North to build the
argument about the importance
of legal institutions, but he saw
flaws in the ideology itself.
Ideologies and belief systems
can significantly slow down
economies, according to North.
He also reasons that governments
don't always think rationally,
and that many times their way
of thinking affects the decisions they make about economic
policy.
North compared an economy
to a football game. For example,
in a football game there are
formal and informal rules and
the referees serve as enforcers
of these rules, said North. If refSee NOBEL WINNER, oase 2

Consumers who have any
doubts about PPA or products
containing it should consult a
pharmacist and proceed to find
alternative drugs that do not contain PPA. The FDA also urges
consumers to stay away from

the state government refused to
take responsibility for actions,
which denied eligible voters their
rights of suffrage. According to
the documentary, the African
American community admitted
that they could have tried to
better educate the voters about the
possibility of being turned away at
the polls.
Following the movie, Rolison,
using data obtained from the
website of the American Civil
Liberties Union, gave a brief
overview of the 2000 election,
explaining that 14.4 percent of
the votes that were rejected came
from African American voters,
while only 1.6 percent were nonBlack. Byron added that according
to www.gregpalast.com, voting
precincts in Black areas were
lacking in high quality voting
technology, while in many white
communities the technology was
available and untouched. Advanced
voting equipment ranges from the
form of the voting ballot itself to

lectures, the floor was opened
to questions. There were many
questions from students, ranging in
topic from the voting procedures,
African Americans, and the current
political situation in America,
particularly with the ensuing war
in Iraq. Rolison and Byron, as well
as PAN member Erik Roper, were
happy to give their opinions.
This event was a unique
opportunity to have two campus
clubs join together, and to
inform CSUSM students about
an important aspect of recent
American history.

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

IVCF. At its core, according Calvary Chapel, San Marcos. IVCF is providing evangelism
training for members in order to
coincide with the event, as well
as helping with event publicity
and set-up.
During the summer months
some IVCF members will
participate in mission trips that
can take them to foreign nations
such as China and Ethiopia.
These mission trips also can
include service in urban areas of
the United States.
Though
theologically
committed to Orthodox Pauline
Christianity, the IVCF encourages
anyone interested in the Bible
and Christianity to attend their
meetings and Bible studies.
Jester welcomed members of
other faiths to check out the
IVCF. Both Jester and Rodriguez
emphasized that the IVCF is an
egalitarian organization where
all members are encouraged to
participate in leadership. The
IVCF's membership contains both
those who were raised in religious
households and new converts.
The group also cultivates ethnic
and racial diversity.

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

producers warned her that
if media became aware of
this, they would deal with

they make any mention of

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

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

The result is that anything that is

for your country, its history, its

you find this impossible to do,
then maybe you should think
about moving somewhere else
where you can be happier and
not be so "oppressed."

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

The U.S. has also subsidized
the war efforts of Israeli terrorists who commit atrocious
acts against Palestinians.
The U.S. supplies Columbian
paramilitary forces that have
subsequently eliminated thirty
thousand dissidents. Supporting terrorism in the name of
democracy is reprehensible.
Furthermore, Saddam never

screwing over veterans like Mr.
Dobbins on their "guaranteed"
benefits, and an administration
full of chicken-hawks clamoring for war that are intent on
world domination, he has convinced the people to support
his unnecessary, unjustifiable,
unprecedented "war on terrorism," which magically shifts
its boundaries to encompass all
those he deems terrorists.
Containment has worked
thus far and worked to topple
the Soviet Union, a far more
dangerous enemy. We need to
step up the inspection process

Since we are doing our best to become a
legitimate source of news to the students,
faculty, staff, and surrounding community at CSUSM, our efforts to teach
our staff writers about the folkways of

pressure on them to print your picture or
run your story, just because you have them
in class, or because they are your friends.
And don't ask to see things before they
are printed. It's unprofessional. We are
doing the very best we can, with what we
have, to be professional to the best of our
capacity, and when members of the faculty
and staff undermine that professionalism
with favoritism, it messes with the whole

So next time you think that The Pride

something is not being covered, why not
send us a letter and tell us? Or better
yet, join the staff and help to institute a
change? Or if you have sent letters to our
advisor or to the CSUSM director of communications, complaining about what's
published in The Pride, you should send it
to us, because after all, we are the editors.
There are too many people on this campus
—as in life— who like to complain about
the 'way things are,' who are also unwilling to step up and accept the challenge to
become part of the solution. Don't be one
of them.

'AU Things to All People'
or 'Nothing to Anyone':
The Dilemma of
PeopleSoft at CSUSM
The CSU is spending money, not subsidized by the
state of California, that could be costing students their
faculty and classes
By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN
Lead Editor
The lack of classes that will
be available next spring is drawing lots of attention from many
students and faculty members.
It has been speculated that the
lack of availability is due to
the statewide budget crisis, but
there is another sieve that the
California Faculty Association
(CFA) claims is draining the
CSU system, not funded by state
allowances. It is being implemented at all CSU campuses
by direction of the Chancellor's
Office, and it's a computer program called PeopleSoft. So far,
CSUSM is remaining on budget
and not showing any signs of
trouble with the implementation, but the project is still far
from finished.
CFA response to the implementation of PeopleSoft
According to the homepage of
the California State University
at calstate.edu, the entire system
is made up of 407,000 students
and 44,000 faculty and staff.
The primary representative of
the faculty in the CSU is the
CFA. In an email circulated to
its members on Nov. 20, the CFA
has issued an "urgent request"
to all CFA members, asking for
any kind of information and/or
evidence about misappropriation of funding of the PeopleSoft project. It says that in a few
months, the "California State
Auditor is scheduled to complete its comprehensive audit
of the CSU's Common Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft)
computer data project."
The message also reports that
the "software has demonstrated
poor performance history at
other U.S. campuses, and that
the project is likely to cost tens
of millions of dollars more than
its original $400 million estimate." While the $400 million
approximation is system-wide,
there are only 23 CSU campuses, which means that if each
university were the same size,
there would be a roughly $17
million average for each school
to pay out of its own funding
- and each campus is expected
to surpass that estimate.
Held at San Jose State University, hearings for a CFA project,
entitled "The Future of CSU,
Reclaiming the University for the
People of California," involved
speeches by powerful union
representatives from around
the state. Pauline Robinson, the
director of the CSU division of
the California State Employees
Association (CSEA) staff union,
expressed her concern about the
PeopleSoft changeover. "What I
think the CSU is missing here is
they don't value the talent that
they have in the system...They
now have another partnership
going.. .It's called CMS or
PeopleSoft... We have Silicon
talented techs in our system, but
their talents aren't recognized.
[The CSU seems] to think that
these people are not economically viable, that they need to
bring in another whole group,
they need to outsource all the
work, or insource our people,
whichever way they're planning
on going...So when you say
where is the future of this CSU,
I really couldn't say, because
there's nothing that we can do
to stop progress, but I still think
that peoples' needs should be
looked at and measured before
you just jump into something,"
Robinson said.
What is PeopleSoft?
According to Bill Welch, an
independent PeopleSoft consultant, "a PeopleSoft project going
way over budget happens about
as often as a Catholic priest getting lucky." PeopleSoft is a computer software company that
created a multi function software package that was meant
to be 'all things to all people,'
according to Welch. He said, "It
is a very large system and has
many components, depending
on [why a company needs it]."
The PeopleSoft programs
for higher education use basically three products. The first
is a Human Resources/ Payroll
Financials package, which
tracks income, expenses, and
assets. The second is a Student
Administration package that

Disorganization or Fraud?
ASI Movie Night: A Disaster for
Edwards Cinema Management
Each Student's $50 Semester Fee for ASI Being Spent
in Part on Questionable Activities
By AMBER ROSSLAND
Pride Staff Writer
On Nov. 21, ASI sponsored
its first free movie night for
students at Edwards Cinemas in
San Marcos, the 9:45 p.m. showing of Eminem's film debut in 8
Mile. Students began to arrive at
6 p.m. and were shocked to find
out that the theater personnel
were unaware of the free ticket
offer for CSUSM students on
that evening.
Problems in Planning and
Organization
San Marcos Edwards Cinema
manager, David Landfield, was
furious to find the entryway
to the theater bombarded and
blocked off by CSUSM students
who were demanding free tickets. "This promotion was not
authorized nor were we notified
of this event," said Landfield. He
further commented that for an
event this size by an organization, it would be necessary for
the organization (ASI) to rent the
theater at a cost of $2,400.
Worried students lined up
outside the doors watching and
listening to the cinema management complain about the situation. The students explained to
theater management that they
had learned of this free movie
promotion through flyers and
e-mail. Grace, an Edwards
employee who was stationed at
the door, pointed out the illegali-
ties of the advertisement that ASI
had produced. Theflyerfeatured
not only a copyrighted film
advertisement that was reprinted
without permission, but the
name of the cinema was printed
without notification and permission as well.
At 8:50 p.m., members of ASI
and their programming board,
who were hired to create community at CSUSM, arrived with
over 100 group activity passes
to purchase tickets at the box
office. The tickets were bought
at this time, and the programming board members who were
buying the tickets were not
even aware of the exact showtime. Furthermore, the flyers
distributed at CSUSM said that
only 50 tickets were going to be
given out to CSUSM students,
however this was not the case,
as there were 100 tickets purchased. When questioned as to
why the programming board
members were purchasing the
extra 50 tickets, they expressed
concerns about riots breaking
out if they denied entrance to
anyone.
Cinema management confronted ASI programming board
members about the chaotic situation. Landfield informed ASI
that he would not exercise the
law and press charges against
the university at this time, however he indicated that this type
of event was never to occur
again without permission of the
theater. He further declared that
the theater would be more than
happy to accommodate future
university-sponsored activities
with proper notice and planning.
ASI Programming Board
Representative Brett Gladys
defended their actions by saying
that they had called the theater
during the previous week and
spoken with an employee, who
had told them that there would
be no problem with holding
the event on the day and time
requested. It was later determined that the employee was not
a member of theater management
and did not have the authority to
permit the event, thus Gladys
had been given incorrect information.
Student Money for NonStudents
While about 18 students said
to have received aflyeror e-mail
for the event, many admitted
to being close friends of ASI
members who had invited them
to the showing. Many students
who had attended in response
toflyersor e-mails made comments regarding the huge
amount of people who showed
up with the ASI programming
board members.
Programming Board and ASI
members began checking school
IDs and handing out tickets
around 8:55 p.m. to students, yet
several students were seen going

Poor organization leading to
more scheduling difficulties
However, along with scheduling
difficulties, Wiener contends
that poor organization has
caused some of the problems as
well. He said, "a basic foreign
language class [was scheduled
during] the first few weeks in
ACD 102, a large lecture hall.
At least a few classes are dangerously overcrowded; one even
had a wheelchair-bound student.
If you are in such an unsafe
classroom, you should report it
to Regina Frasca, Director of
Risk Management and Safety."
In light of this corrected information, there is a newfound
concern among The Pride and
many students regarding the
decision-making of the use of
these classrooms.
CSUSM administrator response
to statistics previously reported
The Pride also heard from Richard Riehl, Executive Director
of Enrollment Services. In an
email sent to Staff Writer Julie
Myres (the author of last week's
article), Riehl said that, "Your
article pointed out the challenges
we face as a rapidly growing
university."
Riehl also pointed out a few

clarifications about the information printed last week. He said
that, "Our enrollment this fall
was 7,627, not "just fewer than
7,000," and he also clarified that
SDSU is continuing to accepting applications for spring of
2003. The original information
reported last week was based on
various estimated numbers that
were reported by members of the
administration and the CSUSM
website. The SDSU information
was originally gathered from
the Union Tribune, however
an article published in the San
Diego Union Tribune on Friday
December 6,2002 also corrected
the SDSU statistic.
It also turns out that the FTES
numbers were reported incorrectly. Riehl said that, "These
numbers make no sense at all,
although I think I know where
you got them. The 5,066 was
the actual FTES count for last
spring. The 6,627 number was
the headcount for last spring.
We project this spring's FTES
count to be 5,608, with a headcount of 7,337. That represents
a decline from 5,810 FTES and
7,627 in the fall. We stopped
taking admissions applications
for spring earlier than ever in
our history to attempt to bring
enrollment down closer to our
funding level." The information
published earlier was gathered

Editor's Note:
This article is definitely covering
a controversial subject that has
brought attention to students,
faculty, and administration.
Many of the quotes and statements made by lecturers and
faculty members were granted
with complete anonymity in the
original article. One reason
there were errors in actual numbers andfacts is due to the lack
of information openly published
for student use. The Pride found
many sources of information that
contradicted each other and did
its best to get the correct information for the article.
It is apparent that Pride staff
writers are frequently given
incorrect information by staff
and faculty who do not realize
the implications of the information they are distributing. This
has happened several times
during this semester when writers have approached sources
for stories. Correct information
could be more easily reporteddn
the future if faculty and staff as
well as students, try to remember
that The Pride is also growing
(alongside the university) albeit
with only one journalism course
and no program to support it.

�CSUSM Closes Applications for Fall 2003
The popularity of CSUSM continues to grow
By MARTHA SARABIA
Lead Editor
For the third time, the growing popularity of Cal State San
Marcos, shown by the large
number of applications received,
has forced the administration to
stop accepting applications for
the fall of 2003 admission. The
rule applies only to first-time
freshman and to lower division
transfer students with fewer than
60 units. On Thursday, Dec. 5 at
11:59 p.m., applications for these
two prospective groups were
closed, however applications
from upper-division transfer students with 60 units or more and
graduate students are still being
accepted.

ment within our funding."
Despite the closing of the
admission process, Richard
Reihl, executive director of
enrollment services, said that
CSUSM allowed a few extra
days for students wanting to
enroll in this university. "The
deadline allowed for some
flexibility for last-minute applicants," said Riehl, "The open
enrollment period established
by the California State University ended November 30, 2002.
We've allowed a few extra days
as a grace period for those
whose applications might have
been delayed for one reason or
another, but we now must stop
accepting applications because
of our need to manage enroll-
students due to the budget deficit.
"Because of budget uncertainties, we can't predict how much
longer undergraduate applications will be accepted from
transfer students," expressed
Riehl.
According to Riehl, since Dec.
5 more than 4,300 applications
had been received from potential freshman students. This
equals the number of applications received from freshman for
the entire 2002-2003 academic

we may have to slow down the
number of new students entering
the university until we have more
resources available."
Cal State San Marcos experienced a 17 percent increase
in enrollment for the 2002-03
academic year, and it is currently
struggling to balance its funding
with its teaching and service
obligations. Furthermore, with
the prospect of reductions in
state allocations for the 20032004 academic year, the campus
has started to adopt a cautious
approach to admissions, which
might leave many prospective
students out of the university.

"No Knife's" latest tour with

the audience. One question that
Goodwall makes is "why don't
we consider chimpanzees human
beings?" Another question is
"what differences are there
really between human beings
and chimpanzees?" There is
no doubt that chimpanzees walk
on their hands as opposed to
humans, showing a difference
between the two.
However,
Goodwall points out that the
differences among humans and
chimps are minimal.
In the past, the true distinguishing point between humans
and chimps has been the notion
that human beings can reason
and pass down knowledge to
their children—this assumption
no longer exists in the realm
of understanding. Goodwall
discovered that chimpanzees
have learned to make tools with
which to hunt their prey, such as
ants. This knowledge of hunting,
chimpanzees have passed down
from their mothers during the
seven years where baby chimps
need emotional and physical nurture from their parents, similar
to children's development with
their mothers. This reasoning
and passage of knowledge therefore disqualifies the main assertion that chimpanzees cannot
reason or teach baby chimps.
With regard to whether people
should consider chimpanzees a
species of human beings, Goodwall stands firm in saying that
chimps are closely related to, or
even actually are, human beings.
The research can be used to
study the evolution of human
beings, because the chimps
may be the best example of how
human beings in fact evolved
from chimpanzees.

Many CSUSM clubs have organized events to help those in need this holiday season
By CHRIS MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
Throughout the month of
December, various CSUSM
student organizations have been
working diligently to ensure a
happy holiday season for the
less fortunate in the surrounding
communities. These organizations seek assistance from the
student body, faculty and staff
in the form of donations of toys,
non-perishable food items, blankets and clothing. These three
holiday drives and one fund

on campus and the specifics and
contact information are listed in
the paragraphs to follow.
Angel Tree Toy Drive
Circle K International, sponsored by the San Marcos Kiwanis,
is an international student community service organization that
helps to foster leadership skills
and provide community services
to children. For the 11th year
this organization has sponsored
the Angel Tree Toy Drive. With
organizational help from the
Black Student Union and the
Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity,
Circle K International plans to
provide toys for local non-profit
organizations. Organizers of the
drive intend to make Christmas
a little merrier for a San Marcos

the children were giddy. Saturday, Dec. 7th, marked the 9th
annual City of San Marcos'
Christmas celebration, known as
Santa's Magical Village, which
lasted between 4:00 p.m. - 9:

Center. With the celebration
geared toward younger children, who always seem to have
a double dose, of the Christmas
spirit, events were there to keep
adults occupied as well. Those in
attendance had the opportunity
to view and purchase a variety of
arts and crafts, all displayed by children dressed as elves and

Some stories had him wearing a

called him an elf. In the 1930's,
Coca Cola officially hired Santa

Clause as the Santa that we know
today, sporting the traditional red

the stories that came about from this
bishop were based on legends and
mythical creatures.
One legend, which is known, is
that he carried around a bag-full of
toys and rode on a flying sled that
was pulled by reindeer. In 1822
Clemente Moore wrote a series of
poems and named all the reindeer
that pulled the sled. Although
Rudolph was not one of the eight
original reindeer that Moore
described, he was the most popular.
Rudolph was merely a byproduct of
the advertising genius of Montgomery Wards, which was in turn created by Robert May.
Advertising plays a major role in
our life by shaping our beliefs and
traditions. Many times it is hard to
tell whether an event from the past
really happened or not, because of
the fact that second hand information can be twisted around so much.
So next time when a child looks at
you with their big brown eyes and
asks you the question I asked in the
beginning of the article, think about
the ramifications it could have if a
child does not have hope.

�I have quit smoking now for
seven years. It was one of the
hardest things I ever did in my
life. When I was a smoker we
were able to still smoke everywhere. I did. I didn't blow smoke
in people's faces but I did smoke
in buildings. I quit smoking while
attending a junior college. Our
college was putting into effect a
smoke free campus. I was even
on the committee. I fought hard
for smoker's rights. One thing did
come out of it, designated smoking areas. These areas were away
from the people traffic, most
of them were in parking areas.
Smokers complained at first,
but were great after a while. The
only problem we were having
was who was going to be the
'cops'. I know they have solved
the problem by now though. But
now for CSUSM, the smokers
definitely need to get away from
the doors and hall ways. The
smoke is quite disturbing. I also
hold by breath when walking by
these students. I am an asthmatic
and the smoke does irritate my
lungs. BUT, CSUSM needs to
put the ashtrays away from the
buildings. They need to be in
open areas. When it rains, we
all have umbrellas. To smokers:
Please stay away from the buildings and the enclosed walkways.
Smoke in open areas and try
to quit. It will save your life.
I watched my mother and her
husband die because of smoking
and it was a very ugly sight. I was
not ready to quit at the time but it
wasn't much longer before I did.
Our campus has many resources
when you are ready to quit.

What is disturbing is that these changes
were made without soliciting any input from
the non-funded families. We were not invited

Pastorela
According to Rick Moore's
latest "In the Loop" electronic campus news wire,
he states that our publicly
funded university is going
to play host to Pastorela: a
traditional Mexican holiday.
This original Spanish production brings together Cal
State San Marcos students
and community members
in a festive presentation of a
traditional Mexican nativity story. I have a hard time
understanding why and
how this religious "production" that has its roots in
Christianity, can actually
be allowed to be presented
on campus. Is it because its
organizers thought that it is
harmless? A fter all, aren't
they just "getting in the spirit
of Christmas?" Doesn't this _
production promote a religious myth that without publicly funded facilities, would
hopefully be relegated or
limited to being shown in a

Discrimination
Lawsuit
By MARTHA SARABIA
News Editor
After eight days of hearing
testimonies and months of wait
ing and rescheduling the trial,
a discrimination lawsuit filed
by Damon Bell, a former
African-American Cal State
San Marcos employee, against
CSUSM came to an end on
March 22, and the verdict
cleared CSUSM on seven sepa
rate counts.
Bell, a former assistant
director of Student and Resi
dential Life at CSUSM, filed the
lawsuit on October 12, 2000.
He was hired at Cal State San
Marcos in June 1997 and later
resigned in January 2001. Bell
claimed to be a victim of dis
crimination and harassment,
and he believed these problems
made his working conditions
intolerable. Bell also claimed
-that his complaints were not
taken seriously, only redirected,
and that he was denied promo
tions and raises because of his
race.
According to the jury, there
was no evidence or proof that
Bell’s intolerable problems were
caused by .any racially moti
vated decisions made by his
supervisors. Furthermore, one
of the jury members said the
defense had presented a better
case, which ultimately led
CSUSM to win.
The jury came to a deci
sion after about 4 Vi hours of
deliberation, but the verdict has
not stopped Bell’s accusations
against CSUSM; he has decided
to continue with the case. “I feel
I have continued to be betrayed
by employees there,” said Bell.
“I feel that this isn’t the end. I
intend to keep on going.”

attorney, said she would file

PAN Provides Information and Fun with a
Message of Environmental Awareness
By EMILY KELLEY
Pride Staff Writer
The Progressive Activist Net
work (PAN) stirred up the
campus with free music, refresh
ments and fun as part of their plan
to raise awareness about environ
mental issues. “The 4-1-1” took
place on Thursday in the dome
plaza from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
and was billed as “...one of the
first steps in our master plan to
change this (CSUSM) into a fun
and cool campus with socially
aware students who make a dif
ference,” said PAN President
Eric Roper, in PAN’s recently
released newsletter. The event
is the first in what PAN hopes
will become an annual event
intended to encourage CSUSM
students, as well as the surround
ing community, to be more envi
ronmentally conscious.
The 4-1-1 coincided with
National Alternative Fuel Vehi
cle Day and came just prior to
Earth Day. Some students who
attended the event were given
the opportunity to test drive a
new hybrid vehicle, the Prius,
from Toyota, which was provided
courtesy of Toyota of Escon
dido. The name “Prius” means
“to go before” in Latin, and is
so named because it is Toyota’s
first standard production hybrid.
Although it looks compact on the
outside, it has an interior roughly
the size of a Toyota Camry or
Honda Civic. The Prius gets
about 55 miles per gallon in the
city and 42 mpg on the highway

President Dustin Naylor pre
sented information regarding
the ‘Indian Rock Native Garden
Project,’ a collaborative project
involving faculty member and
visual artist Deborah Small,
anthropologist Bonnie Bade
and the Native American San
Luis Rey Band, to the Execu
tive Board on Wednesday.
“I see a lot of potential for
some great community-university relationships that can be
built,” said Naylor, as he intro
duced his explanatory handout
to the board.
The garden will be a semes
ter long project of the ‘
Advanced
Computer Art’ class (VSAR

next spring. The students will
be thoroughly involved in the
cultivation and physical imple
mentation of the Indian Rock
Garden, which has yet to be
designed.
Students will also be
engaged “with the local com
munity, come to know the
social, economic, environmen
tal, historical, and cultural
worlds in .which the members
of the community live” said
Naylor. He added that students
are going to be exposed to,
“ethno-botanical
methods,
including documentation of
plant uses, native plant classifi
cations schemes, plant history,
lore and stories, plant applica
tions, administration and pro
cessing methods, harvest and
cultivation requirements, and
the geographic distributions of
the plans under study.”

slightly longer than a year.
When complete the dormi
tory buildings will reach almost
to the point in the parking area
where the pavement has been
removed. According to Dora
Knoblock, director of Parking
Services, once the dormitories
are completed lot O will perma
nently lose 40 to 50 spaces.
As for the impact on parking
problems for the next year, Kno
block said, they (parking ser
vices) are “anticipating an impact
in the San Marcos Ambulatory
Care Center (SMACC) overflow
lot and are preparing to expand
stack parking.” Knoblock also
said, parking services is*“expanding carpool spaces by adding 25
more designated spaces in lot C,”
which is the most popular park
ing lot, located closest to campus
on the comer of Craven Road and
Palm Canyon Drive.
Although the entire area
fenced off in lot O is not nec
essary for the actual construc
tion of the student housing, Brad
Fenton, project manager for Plan
ning, Design, and Construction,
said, “It wouldn’t be safe to allow
people to park right next to the
construction area.” In addition to
the safety regulations, Knoblock
said extra spaces were needed
to allow for a turnaround lane,
which provides room for people
to easily drive around the lot,
rather than having to back out as
the spaces next the fence fill up.
Included in the housing proj
ect is a new parking lot, which
will be located directed East of
lot O, but this lot will be reserved
for “residents of the dorms and
another university department,”
said Knoblock. The housing proj-

motions for a mistrial or a retrial.
Also, Perfili told Judge Dana
M. Sabraw, who replaced the
original judge, that CSU attor
neys engaged in misconduct
when they told the court one
of their witnesses would testify
that Bell’s gay lifestyle, not his
treatment on the job, caused his
stress. Although a psychothera
pist testified this was not true,
the defense claimed he would
find Bell’s lifestyle as the cause
of his stress. The defense’s claim
led Bell to declare his sexual ori
entation during jury selection,
which according to Perfili might
make a North County jury less
sympathetic.
The trial took place in Vista
Superior Court and lasted 10
days. Bell’s case is not the only
discrimination lawsuit against
CSUSM; other cases have been
resolved in the past and others
are still awaiting trial.

ect will contain 126 units with a
maximum occupancy of475 residents, and the lot will have 232
spaces.
With land at a premium price
and the university growing at a
rapid rate the only practical way
to deal with parking woes is to
build up.
“There are already plans for a
parking structure but how to fund
the project and where to build
first are ,still being discussed,”
said Fenton. “I have built parking
structures in the past, and it can
be done.”
Knoblock agreed and said,
“The big piece is the funding
source.” She also said decisions
are “always a balancing act”
between needs and funds, and
since parking services is based
on a self-support system, they
are “exploring ways in public
and private partnerships for rev
enue.” “We (parking services)
are exploring ways to keep from
making drastic changes,” said
Knoblock.
Knoblock said, parking ser
vices “encourages car-pooling
and takes concerns, complaints
and suggestions very seriously.”

Review, a website dedicated to
1993 and onwards Toyota cars,
“City mileage is also greatly
helped by the fact that, unlike
‘normal’ cars, the Toyota Prius
regains some of your energy
when you stop, taking what
would normally just be heat (and
worn brake pads) and convert
ing it back into electricity.”
Students milled around
during the event, enjoying music
from three local music acts: The
Rabbits(from CSUSM), Serial
Carpens (from the Encinitas
area), and DJ Showtime. When
asked about the importance of
music in supporting events such
as this one, one observer com

makes people stop and pay atten

thing, it draws them into the real
message.”
Also represented at the 4-1-1
were many environmentally and
socially conscious organizations.
The Sierra Club, The Envi

“Ashanti” Brings Soothing Voice
to Hip Hop
By Marlino Bitanga
Pride Staff Writer
Spring Break Packs Action in Rosarito
After midterms, I needed to
take off for some fun and excite
ment. So without having to spend
too much money on airplane tick
ets, I booked a condo down south
at the Paloma Beach condos,
located in Rosarito, Mexico. I
told some friends they could stop
by anytime over the weekend to
crash if they needed to. They
could have the run of the house
except for the master bedroom,
which was mine. I drove down
on Thursday night with friends
Hayden, Mike, and Chivito. It
was only an hour and an half
drive from Vista with light traf
fic.
We got there late Thursday
night, settled in and then drove
farther south to Ensenada where
we went to drink at Hussons. It
was a mellow night, no real par
tying, but we met some very nice
stewardesses and invited them to
stop by the next afternoon. When
it was time to leave, we flipped
a coin to see who would have to
drive back to the condo. Mike
was the unfortunate loser, which
was good because he didn’t seem
to be drunk.
The next morning, I woke
first, searched for the car keys,
finally found them under Mike’s
stinky socks, and then drove into
town to buy some cases of Pacifico, a local beer. When I got
back to the condo, it was packed
with people, and they were all
strangers. Hayden had invited the
neighbors from down stairs, who
were almost all Norweigen girls.
A couple of them had their boy
friends. It was quite the crowd,
and the cases of beer I bought
earlier were gone by the noon.
Then when the alcohol was gone,
everyone felt we should go horseback-riding, many of them did.
Others went into to town to
barter, and one of the girls and
I rented quads instead of horses.
I felt sorry for the skinny horses
they rent to tourists.
It was almost five when we
all reconvened at the condo. A
group of us were going to go on a
short drive south to a small town,
Puerto Nuevo, where a .restau
rant I know has the best lobster
in the world. I have been going
to this restaurant for about 17
years. It is called Puerto Nuevo
1. It is not the fanciest restaurant,
but it is the absolute best. I have
eaten lobster from other places in
town, but none compare. There
is usually a line of guests wait
ing to be seated, but I get spe
cial treatment. While we were
in town, I treated all of us to
a “coco loco.” It is very pow
erful drink packed with about
six different liquors and coconut
milk served in a coconut with
some decorative straw. They taste
great, and by the end of your first
one, you start to feel the buzz. I
had about four. Man, I was feel
ing good.
“Knock, Knock,” Chivito
answered the
door; it was the
girls from Hus
sons. They were all dressed to
impress and ready for a night
out at Papas and Beer, a restau
rant and club in the main part
of Rosarito. The guys and me
where dressed much more casu
ally. Mike was wearing jeans and
black T-shirt, Chivito was wear
ing a Hawaiian shirt and board
shorts. Hayden looked the best
and was wearing black pants and
a nice dress shirt. Twas wearing
faded jeans, a black tank top,
and my black Chuck Taylors. We
all went as a group; it was me
and guys, the girls from down
stairs and the flight attendants.
Although, I’d like to think, I was
escorting the girl who I spent
the afternoon with. It was a fun
night of dancing, drinking, and
debauchery.
The next day every one did
their own things. I spent the day
with friends watching television,
drinking and talking about how
stupid we were for forgetting our
surfboards. We ate some fish
tacos, tampered with fireworks
and bought souvenirs for our
moms.
Now it was dark again and
time for another night at Papas
and Beer. We invited the girls to
come with us again. They agreed
but were first going to check out
a different place. So, we took off.
There was a longer line this time
at Papas and Beer, and we waited
impatiently. Once inside it was
booming. The Coronas and XXs,
other Mexican beers, were flow
ing. The girls arrived about an
hour later, which was very cool.
Then it happened. This idiot
drunk bumped into me. I ignored
him, but he felt that I bumped
into him. He decided to make
some stupid remark and push me.
Big mistake, especially when I
fwas only trying to have fun. Next
thing I remember, he is on the
ground, and I am in the arms of a
security guard being carried out
side where a police car is wait
ing. The police find my
flask, take it and put me
in the squad car.
Now, I’m in this cop car with
no back seat and sitting next to
a couple of local boys who are
trying to scare me with horrible
stories of what happens to grin
gos in jail. But it didn’t bother
or frighten me because I had
been in the Rosarito jail the year
before.
*
I would have had to spend
only about an hour in jail, but
since my friends did riot show
up and we were staying so far
out of town, I had to spend the
night. I sat on the concrete next
to all the other spring breakers
arrested for peeing in the streets,
fighting, or possession of drugs.
Finally, at dawn, my buddies
arrived to pick me up, and they
all had a bunch stories to tell me.
When we got back to the condo,
we slept for a few hours. I spent
the rest of the day with the girl
from Norway. It was our last day
in Mexico, so we all said our
good byes and headed for that
long wait at the border crossing.

Changing Lanes Addresses Believable Moral Dilemma
Photo Courtesy o f Press Kit Photography CD-ROM
By GEORGE BURGESS JR.
Pride Staff Writer
Road rage escalates to cata
strophic levels in Paramount Pic
ture’s suspense thriller, Changing
Lanes. The film directed by Roger
Michell, starring Ben Affleck and
Samuel L. Jackson, opened in
theaters Friday
The story takes place in
modern day New York City,
where two strangers Gavin Banek
(played by Affleck), and Doyle
Gibson (played by Jackson) have
a fender bender. Coincidentally,
both men are in route to the court
hearings of their lives. Banek,
a powerful Wall Street lawyer,
is to present the legal signatures
needed, by his partners, to usurp
the power of their billion-dollar
law firm. Gibson, an insurance
broker and recovering alcoholic,
is on his way to his final child
custody hearing and intends to
try and convince his ex-wife to
remain in New York with their
two sons.
Banek and Gibson begin to
exchange insurance information.
Banek is pressed for time and
offers to buy his way out of
the ordeal, but Gibson is trying
to straighten
out his life
andwantsto
do things “the right way.” Frus
trated and late, Banek abandons
the scene. He leaves Gibson
stranded, and says, “Better luck
next time.” What Banek doesn’t
realize is that he accidentally
leaves his legal documents at the
scene of the accident.
Gibson, who has an anger
management issue, is late for his
court hearing. Neither his ex-wife
nor the judge is willing to accept,
yet another excuse from Gibson.
Gibson blames Banek for ruining
his plans, and, at the same time,
Banek is faced with the enormous
pressure of having to produce his
lost documents. The feud over the
files escalates viciously through
out the course of the day with
grave costs to both men.
The primary theme of the
movie is conflict. On the sur
face, Changing Lanes is an urban
battle between two uncompro
mising men. Beyond the obvi
ous, the movie is addressing
the internal conflicts of human
nature. Gibson’s moral dilemma
comes with accepting, even in
sobriety, that his personality
remains tainted with anger and
instability, and Banek is forced
to toil between the reality of selfinterest and the idealism of the
legal system.
Changing Lanes is solidified
through the believable acting
of the supporting cast. William
Hurt-The Alcoholics Anon
ymous Sponsor, Sydney Pollack-Banek’s father in-law,
and Toni Collette- Michelle,
Banek’s girlfriend, each delivered
noteworthy performances. Brad
ley Cooper, Jennifer Dundas,
Ileen Getz, apd Kim Staunton
also contribute with lesser roles.
For promotion of the movie’s
debut, Jackson participated in an
open chat forum on MSN. Over
the course of an hour, Jackson
fielded questions from fans and
critics, worldwide. When asked to
describe Changing Lanes using
only
one
word
Jackson
responded, “Intense.” Given a
few more words, I would add
thought provoking and frighten
ingly believable.
When asked what he hoped
people would get out of Chang
ing Lanes, Jackson said, “There’s
a moral dilemma that both these
people have to deal with and take
responsibility. I think it’s great
we’ve done a film that will send
people out of the theater and into
a coffee shop to talk about it. It
ought to touch on some interestjngjissues and hopefullv it will
done without the religious ico
nography. Throughout the movie,
Banek and Gibson show signs
of remorse and question their
own morality. These moments
come, too obviously, under the
guiding light of the Roman Cath
olic Church. Gibson’s repentance
comes in a scene where he makes
peace with his ex-wife. In the
empty house, where the conver
sation takes place, hangs a sole
picture of the Virgin Mary. Simi
larly, Banek, distraught from the
events of the day, stumbles into a
church confessional. The moral
ity problems presented in the
film are earthlv, but the solutions
R EV IEW
Photo Courtesy o f Press Kit Photography CD-ROM
inspire conversations between
people.”
Where there is conflict, there
is generally resolution or, in
this case, redemption. I loved
the movie, yet, I could have
offered are supernatural or religious. In other words, real problems, yes, one religion presented
as the solution, no thanks,
The movie is rated R by the
MPAA, for language.'

A few weekends ago, I went to
Jacumba, a small town located 75 miles
east of San Diego. The town is so small
that you would most likely not notice it as
you drive by on the freeway. Nonetheless,
at night, you can see the dim lights glim
mering off in the distance.
Only about 400 people reside in the
town of Jacumba, but back in the “roar
ing twenties” and 1930s, Jacumba was
a hopping town. Jacumba’s natural hot
springs attracted many visitors and were
a major magnet for Hollywood c e le ri
ties. The city thrived with affluent people,
but today it’s just a little town. The town
is comprised of nothing but a small strip
of road with old buildings on both sides.
On a sunny day, you might see a tumble
weed somersault across the road. Jacumba
makes you feel like you
are in some old
ghetti Western.”
My buddy, Mike, temporally lives out
there and works as a floor-supervisor at
5 / k ta i1 ii
the Golden Acorn Casino in Campo. I
visited the casino while I was in town.
This modern casino is not as popular as
Pala or Viejas but offers plenty of activi
ties. There’s great food, impressive prizes,
beer & liquor and whole lot more. There
are over 750 slots and plenty of Black
Jack, poker and other game tables.There
is also a 24-hour restaurant and gas sta
tion where you can buy some goodies for
the long road trip home. And for truckers,
they provide a truck center and Trucker’s
lounge.

was to win big. As I strolled around the

ing my chips so that everyone could see
I was a high-roller. I never play the mini
mum $5 or $10 bet because if I want to
win big, I must be willing to lose big.
Finally, like a hawk, I honed my eye
on a table. The dealer looked at me as I
approached his podium. He looked intim
idated, not knowing what to expect. The
table was empty. It was a $10 minimum
bet table, but I was not about to bet so
little.
I threw down an $100 chip. First
hand, bang, I lost. I dropped 2 more
chips ($200) immediately on the table,
bang; I lost again. I lost over $1,000 in the
first fifteen minutes. No big thing, bang;
that’s Black Jack. On one hand, I won
back $500. I won the next three hands,
doubling and then tripling my cash flow.
After a few more hands, the pit boss
switched dealers. A crowd formed around
me; I was winning big and occasionally
losing some too. I battled different dealer after dealer, winning.
Now I was up a couple thousand
dollars and was dealt two face cards. I
split the two hoping to hit double Black
Jack. I didn’t; I busted on both hands.
I ended up losing almost two grand on
that one hand. It was OK though; it’s all
worth the adrenaline. I walked over to
bar and had me a scotch on the rocks.
“Hmmm-ah,” it tasted good, and I paid
for it with the little winnings I had left.
To win at any casino, you have to be
willing to lose, but don’t worry about any
money lost because no matter what the
result, win or lose, you will have a good
time.

�Opinion
Choki ng
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
Every Tuesday and Thurs
day, as I walk to my final class
in University Hall, I find myself
taking the stairs and choking on
the clouds of cigarette smoke that
fill the stairwell. Not only do
people choose to smoke on the
stairs, but they choose to block
them by sitting down on the
bottom stair, allowing for barely
enough space for one person to
slide by.
Is there a need to force nonsmokers and smokers alike to
share in your filthy habit? Why
is it people smoke in the most
absurd places - like right in front
in
the
Stairwell
of the entrance to a restaurant
or in a busy stairwell? Is it that
hard to walk the extra feet and
smoke in the open areas of the
campus to, at least, pretend you
have courtesy for those around
you?
The most amusing thing I
find about the smokers on the
third floor is that there are big
white signs that say in red writ
ing, “Please Do Not Toss Cig
arette Butts on Roof.” From
experience, I’ve learned that
money is not spent on signs
unless there is a recurring behav
ior that needs to be stopped. Is it
possible that some smokers can
be so ignorant they just tofe a
cigarette butt on a roof instead of
putting it in the garbage can they
are standing next to? I think that
it is rude and should be stopped.
I know that in northern Califor
nia many establishments enforce
a rule that stipulates people must
be a certain number of feet away
from the entrance of a building
before lighting up.
Does there need to be a rule
for people to wake up and realize
that not everyone wants to inhale
their second-hand smoke as they
try to walk to and from classes?
I surely hope that college-edu
cated citizens know the rules of
etiquette that we as a society
adhere to. But maybe I’m wrong,
and we should insert an etiquette
class in the schedule.
Does the Sun Damage Driving Brain Cells?
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
I have witnessed many differ
ent styles of terrible driving, but I
would have to give southern Cal
ifornia the award for “The Most
Ignorant Drivers.” I’ve driven on
the East Coast, which is, stereotypically, the home of the worst
drivers in the world, but they
don’t hold a token to those who
drive on roads from “The 78”
down through San Diego.
My first instance of igno
rance was in late February when
the rain hit. I have come to the
conclusion that all the driving
brain cells leave rwhen rain hits
southern California. On this par
ticular day, I sat on “The 15”
for two and a half hours, only
moving from Valley Parkway to
Carmel Mountain Road, which
is normally at the most a fifteenminute drive. But that wasn’t
the most shocking portion of
the wait. While sitting in what
looked like a parking lot, I had
my first experience with intense
southern California road rage.
I looked into my rear view
mirror and witnessed a “trucker”
get out of his semi-truck, walk
over to a man in a small Nissan
pickup, who obviously was trying
to merge into the lane against
the will of die “trucker,” open
the door of the Nissan, drag the
driver out onto the freeway, and
proceed to slug him with all of
his road-rage-filled-fists. Then,
as though it were a normal part
of his daily activities, he walked
back to his truck and merged
into a different lane. Those types
of things don’t happen where
I’m from, and I don’t think they
happen anywhere else in the
United States. If that were to
happen where I’m from, you’d
probably get shot.
My second experience with
local road rage was on Thurs
day. I was leaving school, enter
ing Highway 78-East from Twin
Oaks Boulevard. Since it was
4:25 p.m., there was barely any
movement. When I merged onto
the freeway, I attempted to merge
over one more lane. There were
at least two car lengths of room,
so I went for it. Immediately after
I put my blinker on, a person
driving a red truck that I was
trying to get in front of stepped
on the gas and tried to block
me from merging. Since I was
already over and still had enough
room (even with the jerk-action
of the driver), I continued to
merge. This woman proceeded
to give me the finger, yelling
at the top of her lungs, cursing
at me and literally making her
car swerve back and forth. Then
after she vented, obviously disap
pointed with the lack of response
from me, she sped into the lane
to the left of me, speeding up to
come beside me. She then con
tinued to yell at me, using her
very articulate four-letter words,
and swerved in front of me to
prove a point, almost losing con
trol of her truck and almost hit
ting the cars beside her and in
front of her while continuing to
give me the finger.
I never thought that I would
say this, but I think that Los
Angeles drivers are better than
their southern partners in the San
Diego area. At least they have
some sort of consistency in their
idiocy. Be it rain, sun, traffic,
parking, on the freeway or right
here on campus, I have to say,
“Congratulations San Diego, you
are the United States Most Igno
rant Drivers.”
Did Muslim-Americans
Pay Lip Service to 9-11?
By DAVID YANAGI
Pride Staff Writer
Shortly after the September
11 terrorist attacks, when a
clearer picture of the perpetra
tors and their motives began
to emerge, Muslim-Americans
were thrust into the national
spotlight to defend themselves
and their beliefs. Across the
country, Muslim leaders and
activists were quick to condemn
the events with a shared media
mantra that characterized Osama
bin Laden and his cohorts as
extremists, unrepresentative of
their peaceful Islamic beliefs.
With the exception of some
unfortunate hate crimes since
the attack, we have for the most
part, taken them for their word
and moved on.
Now the focal point of terror
ism has moved from New York
City to Israel. And again, many
Muslims in this country have
voiced their opinion on the situ
ation, although with a bit more
fervor than 9-11. And from what
I can tell, there seems to be
an almost unanimous solidarity
with their Palestinian brethren in
how they view the Middle East
crisis. Suicide bombers or ‘free
dom fighters,’ as they’re being
called by many, are continu
ously defended with rationaliza
tions and justifications for their
actions, subtly in American pub
lications and programs, but bla
tantly in many and most Arab
and Muslim-American newspa
pers and websites. I don’t want
to imply that anyone who empa
thizes with the Palestinian cause
favors terrorist tactics, but News
week recently reported 80 per
cent of Palestinians approve of
suicide attacks. It would be hard
to imagine such a view limited
only to the region. Both in the
media and in my own personal
experience, Muslim-Americans
tend to implicate the Israelis
as the real terrorists and see
the defenseless Palestinians as
merely fighting back the only
Way they can. Upon examination
of such a belief, the first thing
that comes to mind is how it
completely contradicts the Mus
lim-American denouncement of
the terrorist attacks on Amer
ica. An inconsistency that should
lead some to wonder if we were
had and were merely told what
we wanted to hear by much of
the Muslim community.
Let’s assume for a moment
that the suicide attacks against
Israeli citizens are somehow jus
tified. Israel is systematically
killing innocent Palestinians
with their military and its
advanced weaponry, while the
Palestinians use their only
weapon - themselves - to deliver
eye for eye retaliation. The
United States has sent and con
tinues to send billions of dollars
in aid to help Israel pay for the
tanks rolling into the West Bank.
This is the type of financial
support that has ‘mainstream’
Muslim and Arab news outlets,
both here and abroad, citing the
United States as an accomplice
to Israel in the death and destruc
tion. And if the United States
and Israel are in this together,
then this country is a viable
target; a point of view shared by
the terrorists on 9-11. If the ene
my’s motive and the results of a
suicide attack are all the same,
then, is it not valid to question
whether many Muslim-Ameri
cans are being disingenuous by
frowning on one and then excus
ing another?
If the true feelings of many
people in this country about 9-11
are hidden behind a politically
or patriotically correct faQade,
then President Bush’s “with us
or against us” statement should
have been domestically directed.
And the future of terrorism in
the US may be seen through the
eyes of an Israeli because if they
are fair game, then so are we.
It's Just a Matter of Perspective...

Pride Editor
When our weary world was young, the struggle of the Ancients first began. The Gods of Love and Reason sought alone to ule the fate
of Man. They battled through the ages, but still neither force would yield. Their people were divided; every soul a battlefield...
They say there are strangers, who threaten us in our immigrants and infidels. They say there is strangeness, too dangerous in our
theatres and bookstore shelves. Those who know what's best for us - must rise and save us, from ourselves. Quick to judge. Quick to
anger. Slow to understand. Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand.
A tired mind become a shape-shifter. Everybody need a soft filter. Everybody need reverse polarity. Everybody got mixed feelings
about the function and the form. Everybody got to elevate from the norm.
These walls that still surround me, still contain the same old me, just one more who's searching for the world that ought to be. The
more that things change, the more they stay the same.
I have memory and awareness, but I have no shape or form. As a disembodied spirit, I am, dead yet unborn.
We can walk our road together if our goals are all the same. We can run alone and free if we pursue a different aim. Let the
truth of Love be lighted. Let the love of Truth shine dear. Sensibility. Armed with sense and liberty, with the Heart and Mind
united in a single perfect sphere.

�New Security Measures Cause Disappointment with
Spring Break Travels
By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN
Opinion Editor
Have you been through an
airport recently? Chances are,
since many of us just got back
from spring break, many of you
have. Hopefully your experiences
were better than mine. Not to
say that my travels over break
were all bad, but I definitely have
a question as to whether or not
the over 6 billion dollars allo
cated for airport security mea
sures, which will continue to be
funneled into airports, is doing
anything to protect us.
Traveling through Los Ange
les International Airport was a
breeze. Airport personnel were
very well organized, and their
new security systems looked like
something out of a Star Trek
movie. Laptop computers have to
be taken out and screened sepa
rately, but there were many (even
friendly) people standing in front
of the security machines, inform
ing passengers of the new pro
cedures^ You wouldn’t believe
how many people travel with lap
tops. I expected to be one of a
select few, but almost everyone I
saw pulled a laptop out of their
carry-on bags, at least at LAX.
Even at that, it only took me
about 45 minutes to get through
security and to arrive at my gate,
despite having my two-year-old
in tow. I felt safe; the National
Guard was everywhere, armed
to the hilt with fully automatic
rifles as well as their personal
side arms.
I had a layover in Kansas City,
which compared to LAX is a very
small airport, but they had their
share of National Guard mem
bers, and their baggage screening,
though not as sophisticated, was
thorough. Between the stroller,
the diaper bag, my briefcase, and
my little girl, I had a lot to drag
around, and the food court was
at the far end of the terminal.
Even with my military ID, they
wouldn’t let me leave anything
(even the diaper bag) at the gate
sp we could go get something to
eat more easily. I actually appre
ciated their adherence to guide
lines, however inconvenient for
me, because once again, I #felt
safe. I reached my destination
fairly happy with the new secu
rity measures.
My trip home was a different
story.
Chicago’s Midway airport
was comparable to LAX - they
had sophisticated systems, and
despite the hoards of passengers,
the now infamous Argenbright
security personnel were helpful
and friendly. Problems were non
existent until the plane for my
flight arrived late due to bad
weather at its originating air
port.
We boarded late, and there
were seven or eight standby pas
sengers on their way to Mexico.
None of the flight attendants
spoke Spanish and the passen
gers’ English wasn’t great. No
one could get them to sit down so
we could leave. (Why, oh why,
didn’t I learn Spanish instead of
French?)
We eventually took off just
twenty minutes late, but I still
missed my connection in

Denver.
Six of us from the Chicago
flight were running across the
terminal, and we watched them
close the door to our connecting
flight to Los Angeles. No one
bothered to tell the pilot that more
passengers were on the way. Bad
communication. We were stuck.
There was a woman who had
a connection to Singapore from
LAX. She was really stuck. The
next flight wasn’t until the next
morning.
Everything went downhill
•from this point. The airport staff
was rude, unhelpful, inconsider
ate, and completely unaccommo
dating from the moment we were
at their mercy.
“No, you don’t have to stay in
a hotel, you are welcome to stay
here in the terminal [for the next
twelve hours with a two year old]
until your next flight leaves,” was
the standard line I was given by
five or six different people.
Apparently, several dozen
people missed flights that night
because of bad weather at other
airports across the country. In
Denver, it’s usually local weather
that keeps passengers behind, but
not this time. With all the delays,
hotels around the airport booked
up very quickly, but, at least, they
gave us a “distressed passenger”
rate. I couldn’t believe this hap
pens so often that they have a
name for it.
After a four hour nap at a
hotel 25 minutes from the airport
(nothing is close to the terminals
in Denver) we found ourselves
back at the airport the next morn
ing. The airline wouldn’t store
our luggage for us the night
before, so we had to take it all
the way to the hotel, bring it all
back again the next morning, and
stand in line to check it once
again.
We got to the airport two and
an half-hours before our flight
was scheduled to leave; we still
almost missed it. The security
procedures were a mess. The line
to check baggage took over half
an hour, the secondary security
check took another twenty min
utes, and the main security check
to get into the terminal took an
hour.
I would have been completely
understanding if the staff had at
least been nice. I actually had
a nasty airline employee tell me
that I missed my flight the night
before because of my attitude right after I apologized for being
impatient with her. I was stressed,
exhausted, and dragging along
an extremely cranky two-yearold.
The most distressing part of
my trip was realizing that the
secondary security checks are
STILL not conducted randomly.
One out of every ten tickets
is flagged, and that passenger
is checked thoroughly at every
single checkpoint - baggage
check, main security, and board
ing - at every single airport.
It was such a joke.
My ticket was flagged, so
I had to completely empty all
of my bags, take off my shoes
and be frisked by security eleven
times on my trip. My military ID
meant nothing. I knew from the
first moment I checked in at LAX
that this was going to happen to
me. Everyone else went through
the same old relaxed procedures
that airlines have been conduct
ing for years. Likewise, anyone
who wasn’t told at check-in that
they were subject to secondary
security could count on not being
searched for the remainder of
their trip.
Does this make sense?
If I know that I’m subject to
secondary search at every stop,
even if I had something illegal,
I would sure as heck get rid of
it before I got to the checkpoint.
And if I were a bad person who
wanted to hurt people, I could
wait until after I had checked my
bags to find out if I was going
to be searched. Untagged pas
sengers never opened their bags,
never got frisked and never took
off their shoes.
I know that the FAA is trying
to avoid charges of racial pro
filing, but this was ridiculous.
Maybe every tenth passenger
in line for boarding should be
searched? That could be over
come too.
Should everyone go through
the same security measures that
I did? That would be better than
the way it is now. I would be will
ing to wait in line for that. The
way it is now, several people,
of multiple ethnic backgrounds
and looking far more suspicious
than a young woman with a baby
and a military ID, walked onto
the plane without a second look.
Those National Guard troops
can’t do a heck of a lot once the
plane is in the air.
Daily Thoughts on... Senioritis
By MARLINO BITANGA
Pride Staff Writer
I think I have a case of
senioritis. It’s already the elev
enth week of school, and I feel
as if all my motivation has either
been sucked out of my system or
it never caught up with me after
spring break. As class deadlines
draw closer, I am so swamped
with group projects and papers.
It’s as if all my professors forgot
to go to that meeting to let each
other know that they were sched
uling an assignment for a partic
ular day.
My internship isn’t cooperat
ing with me either. Have you ever
felt that you wanted to do some
thing for yourself? I thought by
obtaining an internship it would
help me gain more knowledge
able about the field I am trying to
enter or provide me more work
experience. But at the facility,
my title of “intern” has grown
to mean faxing, getting the mail,
and sitting at an isolated desk at
the front of the building answer
ing phones for three hours: Right,

Rain poured down on the
Dome Plaza on Thursday, where
students from the American
Indian Student Alliance (AISA)
had hoped to conclude their final
day of celebration for Native
American Heritage Month in
November. Dr. Henry Rodriguez,
also known as “Uncle Henry,”
was scheduled to give a blessing
and speak last Thursday, how
ever, due to the rain, his talk is
now rescheduled for Wednesday
at 1p.m. at the Dome Plaza. Mark
Mojado, who monitors Native
American excavation sites, will
also speak on Wednesday.
AISA npt only organized
the event to celebrate Native
American heritage, but also to
educate other students about
the culture. The event began
Tuesday with storyteller Abel
Silvas, who wore traditional win
ter regalia, which featured' rab-
bit skins around his waist. He
also played with students on
Founders’ Plaza, tossing fish
nets over students and catching
them. On Wednesday, students
displayed Native American arti
facts and replicas on the Dome
Plaza.
Some AISA members, how
ever, noted that few students
attended the storytelling and dis
play on Tuesday and Wednesday.
“I’m sorry more people didn’t
take the time to look at this,
because this is local history,”
said Rita Reynolds, a member
of AISA.
AISA members said they
hope that ASI will take on the
planning of next year’s celebra
tion. “We’d like to have some
thing on a bigger scale,” said
Stacey Helton, an AISA mem
ber. “We’re on Luiseno land,
but no one does anything to
acknowledge that. We need to
honor them and respect them.”
Even though Rodriguez, a
Luiseno Indian tribal leader, did
not formally speak on Thursday
because of the rain, he sat in
the Dome among a group of
students from AISA, where he
told them stories about Native
American folklore. “I want to
make my stories become real,
so that people can touch them,
hear them, and feel them,” said
Rodriguez, who said he also
plans to welcome student ques
tions during his Wednesday talk,
and discuss what is happening
within
the
local
Native-American community.
“Not many people know that
any reservations are around here,
even the people that live here,”
said Rodriguez. “If the locals
don’t know, I thought that maybe
the students wouldn’t know.”
Rodriguez is closely con
nected to Cal State San Marcos.
In addition to his service as
a community consultant to, the
university, he also received an

The CSU ■ Board of
'
Trustees voted on and approved
a measure on Nov. 13 that will
allow Cal State San Marcos to
begin construction of its first oncampus student housing struc
ture. The construction is sched
uled to begin in March 2002,
and should be completed by the
fall of 2003, a timeline similar
to that given for the completion
of the new campus library and
field house.
The simultaneous comple
tion of these three projects will,
according to Paige Jennings, a
university spokesperson, “ ...
bring a sense of ownership
and belonging to our campus.”
The first campus housing
communities will be built on
a 5.5-acre plot located at East
Barham Drive and Campus View
Drive. The. proposed student
housing project will include
accommodations for 460 stu
dents, with additional housing
provided for supervising fac
ulty and staff. The student hous
ing structures will be divided
between two different models,
arranged by size and price. A
four bedroom, two-bath apart
ment with communal kitchen
and living quarters will com
prise one model, and a double

Pride Staff Writer
This spring, the Office of
Community Service Learning
(CSL) will offer scholarships
to 10 Cal State San Marcos
students. Each of the students
chosen will receive $1,000.
To qualify, students must
have a 3.0 GPA and be enrolled
with a minimum of nine credits.
If the students are incoming
freshman, they must have a
high school grade point average
of 3.3. Cal State San Marcos
encourages students to be
involved in community service,
said Dr. Lynda Gaynor, director
of CSL.
“In serving the community,
students help to make this world
a better place. This experience
also gives exposure to the big
ger community, and knowledge
of varying lifestyles and socio-.
economic groups. It helps peo
ple with their struggles.”
Once potential scholarship
students meet the requirements,
a non-profit community agency
will interview them. If the agen
cy accepts the student, he/she
will enroll in the Service in
the Community course, which is
currently offered under Human
Development 499. This class
meets on alternating weeks dur
ing the spring semester for read
ing and structured reflection.
Students must volunteer for

sponsored his talk.
While discussing the history
of Operation Gatekeeper and
its sibling operations, Operation
Safeguard in Arizona, and
Operation Rio Grande in Texas,
Ramirez called the operations
“inhumane policies,” and said
that immigrants are in “mortal

he works to promote environ

Rodriguez also brought the Head

Another educator on Native
American culture, Mark Mojado,
will also speak Wednesday.
Mojado is a Native American
monitor who visits excavation
sites where he works with
archaeologists to preserve Native
American remains and artifacts
that have been found in local
areas.
“We make sure that we can
save a part of history for our
generations,” said Mojado, who
is from the Luiseno tribe. “We
can’t save everything, but we
can save some of them.”
While he was at the Dome,
Rodriguez also gave advice to
students nearing finals week.
“Things get hectic,” he said. “I

University administration
is debating whether or not to
schedule apartment leases to
coincide with future year-round
courses, or to keep the lease cen

9 to 10 month academic year.
If a full-year lease is available,
students can expect to have rent
lowered by $25 dollars a month.
Students, however, should
not expect a tuition increase as a
result of this new housing mea

Since the university does not

�Fans Mourn the Loss of Georgi
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
“I look at you all, see the
love there that’s sleeping, while
my guitar gently weeps.” The
optimistic songwriter of these
beautiful and hopeful lyrics left
us this past week.
On Thursday afternoon after
a long battle with cancer, George
Harrison, the lead guitar player
and songwriter for the 1960s enig
matic pop group, The Beatles,
died at age 58.
Beatle fans throughout the
world mourned the loss of the
“quiet Beatle.” Although he never
specifically wanted to be known
as an icon of pop culture, Harrison
quietly added his mystical influ
ence to the Beatle’s music, help
ing to create the sound that won
the world over.
“I never asked to be famous, I
just wanted to be successful,” said
Harrison. The extent to which the
Beatle’s music touched people is
emphasized by the fact that mil
lions of Beatle fans were bom
after the 1970 break-up of the
group.
From Liverpool, the birth
place of the Beatles, to the
Penny Lane, a British pub in
San Marcos, candles burned and
thoughts of peace echoed out as
fans said goodbye to Harrison,
showing the reach that his love
spanned.
After beating throat cancer
in 1998, Harrison was diagnosed
with various forms of cancer,
including a brain tumor, and had
been battling for the last two
years. He died in the home of
a family friend in Los Angeles
with his wife, Olivia, and son,
Dhani, by his side.
Harrison, the youngest mem
ber of the Beatles, is the second
of the Fab Four to pass on? leav
ing only Paul McCartney and
Ringo Starr to carry on the lega
cy. John Lennon was shot and
killed by a crazed fan in 1980.
“While My Guitar Gently
Weeps,” “I Me Mine,” “Here
Comes the Sun” and “Something”
are some of the timeless songs
Harrison wrote as a Beatle.
“He is really just my baby
brother,” McCartney said about
Harrison in a CNN interview.
Once he accepted the unwav
ering explosion of Beatlemania,
Harrison began using the medi
um of music and song writing
to express his deep spiritual and
peace loving nature, eventually

With both heart and soul
George Harrison
taking the group to India to
meet the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
“Get back to where you once
belonged,” are lyrics from the
upbeat pop song “Get Back,”
and casually portray some of
Harrison’s Eastern religious
beliefs.
The influence of Indian mys
ticism flowed from Harrison and
can be heard on a number of
Beatle albums, most notably on
“The White Album.”
“I wasn’t smiling ... by
pigeonholing me, they (fans and
the media) missed out on some
of the little jokes in my songs,”
said Harrison, commenting on
his label as the quiet and spiritual
Beatle.
Regularly known as the over
shadowed one in the Beatles,
Harrison was known more for
his virtuosity in music, com
pared to the extroverted person
alities of his former band mates
were known for. Although he was
known to stay more aloof and
behind the scenes, he was never
underestimated by musicians and
was known by close friends as
witty, cracking jokes up until the
day he passed on.
After the breakup of the
Beatles, Harrison embarked on
a successful solo career. The
same year The Beatles disbanded
Harrison released “All Things
Must Pass” his first solo album.
The single “My Sweet Lord”
marked the first top hit by a for
mer Beatle. Harrison went on to
record “Somewhere in England”
in 1981 and “Cloud Nine” in
1987.
In 1971, after being inspired
by Ravi Shankar, a famous Indian
sitar player, Harrison organized
The Concert for Bangladesh,
which became rock’s first major
charity event. After years of legal
problems linked to a Beatle tax
investigation, the benefit eventu
ally raised $10 million, and the
recording of the last day of the
concert won Harrison his first
Grammy. Shankar, who played
at Woodstock, is credited with
bringing the sitar to rock music,
playing with rock legends like.
Punk Rock Hits Cox Arena
By KEVIN HAWK
Pride Staff Writer
What do you get when you throw a
couple thousand yelling, screaming, and
sweaty young adults in an arena with the
bands No Use For A Name, Face to Face,
and Pennywise? A solid punk rock show
with just a little bit of anarchy.
The Line and Guttermouth opened
last Saturday night, but the show really
began when No Use for a Name sparked
the crowd with “Justified Black Eye,”
then moved to a sing-along favorite,
“Soulmate.” With clean transitions and
crisp sounds, No Use for a Name played
one of the best sets of the night.
Yet, the real excitement began with
the fourth band of the night. Despite their
so-so performance at the Cox Arena,
an eager crowd began rushing the floor
level once Face to Face appeared on
stage. The audience cheered as anarchy
broke loose.
Security tried to contain the audience
by quickly turning on the arena lights
and cutting lead singer Trever Keith’s
vocals. Cheers quickly turned to deep
boos. After arena officials ignored pleas
from Keith, they forced Face to Face to
finish out their set in the fully lit arena.
Many were disappointed by securi
ty’s attempts to contain the show. When
Face to Face appeared on stage, I heard
a voice behind me say, “This is who I
came to see.” I had to agree. Every time
I see Face to Face, they put on a highenergy show. Despite intentional techni
cal problems caused by arena officials,
Face' to Face played a solid set.
However, there were more than tech
nical problems for Face to Face. For the
first time since early 1991, Face to Face
played as a three-man band. Hindered
by the recent departure of lead guitarist
Chad Yaro, Scott Shiflet of Face to Face
had to unstrap his bass and play guitar.
The rest of the night was a bit more
tame, but still a great show. As headlin
ing band Pennywise appeared on stage
with dozens of family and friends, the
entire arena jumped to their feet. Lead
singer Jim Lindberg, interacted with the
crowd all night, continually dousing the
front rows with water during the entire
set.
Rather than playing a set list,
Pennywise turned to the audience for
requests. In between songs “Fun and
Games” and “Pennywise,” guitarist
Fletcher Dragge ignited the crowd with
obscene statements aimed at Osama bin
Laden.
Before closing with the signature
“Bro Hymn” anthem, Pennywise invited
those who’d permanently declared their
devotion in the form of tatoos onstage.
With lighters raised and arms around
each other, the bro hymn choir sang their
last respects.

Harrison, The Grateful Dead,
Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix.
Shankar had told Harrison
of the people’s suffering in
Bangladesh, which sparked the
creation of the benefit concerts
and accentuates the giving nature
of Harrison.
After a number of years out
of the spotlight, Harrison record
ed an album with Tom Petty,
Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne and Roy
Orbison under the name The
Traveling Wilburys, which won
Harrison his second Grammy.
“He was like the sun, the
flowers and the moon, and we
will miss him enormously,” said
Bob Dylan in a CNN web arti
cle.
Although it is sad to see his
untimely departure from our cor
poreal world, family, friends and
fans may find comfort by remem
bering his strength in spiritual
mysticism, exemplified in songs
like, “The Art of Dying” and his
belief that everyone may one day
meet again.
“I don’t know what as. You go
on being reincarnated until you
reach the actual Truth. Heaven
and Hell are just a state of mind,”
said Harrison.

�H ot Chowder at the Beach
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer
What sounds better than a
salty sea breeze on your face
while you sip a hot cup o f
clam chowder during sunset? Not
much, if you enjoy fresh sea
food and the cliff top view from
the Harbor Fish Cafe on Coast
Highway in Carlsbad. You can
sit outside, facing the ocean, or
under an awning. Either way,
you will enjoy what this casual
restaurant has to offer.
A perfect meal at the Harbor
Fish Cafe begins with a cup
or bowl of New England Clam
Chowder. I consider myself to be
a qualified critic in the chowder
department, considering I order
it at every seafood restaurant I
frequent, in search of the best.
This chowder is creamy and rich,
with big chunks of potatoes and
fresh clams harvested from local
waters. The flavor is unlike any
other clam chowder I have had,
and it is always blisteringly hot,
which makes it taste even better.
The chowder is $2 per cup, which
makes it even more enjoyable.
To top it off, order a side of
grilled sourdough bread for only
50 cents, which is great for dip
ping.
Next, I suggest the fish tacos the traditional taco and is more offers various daily specials —
as a main course. These tacos Americanized, but it is prepared and that is special in content,
are very large compared to other in a way that will leave you not in price. One featured dish
is an open face, grilled calamari

Tis the Season to Make Bon Bons
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer
The holidays are a time when foods
and desserts bring about family closeness
and create traditions that can be passed
down from generation to generation. One
such recipe that my family has enjoyed
year after year during the holiday season
is the desert dish, Bon Bons.
Not only are Bon Bons rich and deli
cious, but the preparation of the candy is
artistic, fun, and everyone in the family
can help while listening to holiday music
and enjoying each other’s company.
To make Bon Bons, you will need the
following ingredients:
1 bag o f shredded coconut
1 stick o f margarine
2 boxes o f powdered sugar
2 small cans o f Eagle Brand sweetenedcondensed milk
1 bag o f Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate
chips (if you prefer milk chocolate use
that)
1 stick o f cooking wax (can be purchased
at any grocery store in the “
Baking
Needs” section)
White chocolate chips or cubes
lbag o f walnuts (optional)
ljar o f Marchino cherries (optional)
The materials you will need include:
A large bowl
One medium size stove pot
One small pot
Toothpicks
Waxpaper
The first step in Bon Bon prepara
tion will be to combine the condensed
milk, margarine, and powdered sugar.
The easiest way to mix these ingredients
is to use a cake mixer; if you do not have
one, stir until the mixture is fluid. After
this is mixed, add coconut, chopped
walnuts, chopped cherries and vanilla
for flavor.
At this point, you can continue to
use the cake mixer, but I have overheated
one this way because the mixture is so
thick. Don’t be afraid to mix with your
hands! It is the best way to get an even
consistency and you get to lick your
fingers.
After the filling is done, put it in
the refrigerator or freezer to chill so the
mix can harden. Having firm Bon Bon
filling will be essential for the next step
of preparation, dipping the candies.
While your Bon Bon filling is chill
ing in the icebox, you have plenty of time
to prepare the dipping chocolate.
The first step is to bring half of the
medium pot of water to a full boil. Next,
take the smaller pot and place it in the
medium sized one so that the bottom

Hi
Time Is Now
By CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
In the wake of Sept. 11 we,
as a nation and as individuals,
are left with more questions than
answers. “How could this happen
to us, here?,” “Why would some
one want to do this?” Beneath all
the conjecture and socio-political-economic banter, we still
don’t have firm answers. Maybe
the politicians and scholars can
momentarily placate us with
answers more complex than the
questions, but try giving a mean
ingful answer to a five-year-old
(often the most insightful judge),
and my bet is you come up
short.
Clearly, this tragedy
^
bears great significance.
Even the most faithless
person would be hardpressed not to see these
events as a call to examine
our lives and our place in
the world. Recent media
reports tell of students who
have suddenly changed
academic paths, people in
the workforce who now
eschew the corporate
world to pursue the pipe dream
they never thought possible.
The events on 9-11 represent
a tremendously precious oppor
tunity to set our sights inward
- collectively and individually
- and consider where we place
meaning, what we hold sacred,
why we often clutter our lives
with the inessential and the
tedious. The choices we make in
life reflect who we are. They are
filled with power and portent.
We do ourselves, and our world,
a disservice by denying our own
voices or devaluing our con
tributions, however seemingly
small.
Certainly, action must be
taken against those who helped
to orchestrate and execute the
attack. I doubt many people dis
agree on this point. And I have
no answers about what is right
or wrong in this case. But I
think we could be more careful
and imaginative in our proposed
solutions to these issues. Our
country is founded on creativity
and imagination - why not cre
ate responses that reflect these
attributes. They bomb us, we
bomb them. Even those of us
slumbering through our classes
know how this scene ends. Let’s
strive for better.
The lives lost in the attacks
are irreplaceable; surely we
aren’t so callous and shortsight
ed to imagine that bringing the
terrorists to justice will some
how make us feel better. Such a
scenario may temporarily relieve
us, but it will never compensate
for the pain, suffering and loss
we have endured. So what is it
that we want? The same things
our country was founded on:
We’ve had the imagination to
put people on the moon and cam
eras on Mars; are we really so
gullible to believe that we can’t
produce a more viably efficient
engine than the same internal
combustion model that Henry
Ford tinkered with? Without a
need for oil, there is no need to
be involved in a conflict that has
been raging long before we are
dirtied our hands in it, and will
no doubt continue long after we
leave.
And while we are pulling
out of the Middle East, let’s
pull our military out of other
foreign countries as well - ski
ers in Italy will certainly feel
safer. Why do we have
a military installation
in Italy anyway? Ever
wondered? Imagine
America’s response to
France having a base
at Miramar? Sound
absurd? - Absolutely.
With more time and
resources saved we
could consider our
own problems rather
than turning a blind
eye to them under the
guise of national security.
Has racism vanished here
in the U.S. since Sept. 11?
How about sexism? Classism?
Homophobia?
Poverty?
Depression? Addiction? These
last two would be considered
luxuries in most countries. The
list of our own maladies is as
long and as urgent as those of
any other nation. Why aren’t
we brave enough, creative
enough, and strong enough to
find solutions for ourselves? We
don’t need conflicts from other
nations; we have a plethora of
our own.
So when you are out in the
world, consider your actions.
Take the time to be a friend,
to be a lover, or to listen to
someone who only wants to be
heard. We all want to be need
ed. We all want to know we
are important and we matter.
Better your world by knowing
what is important and discard
ing the rest. The time for change
is now.
‘Why aren’t we brave
enough,creative
enough, and strong
enough to fin d solu
tions fo r ourselves?”
life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness. We don’t want to be
worried about terrorist attacks
or biochemical warfare - these
are the things of nightmares.
Yet it is these very things we
cling to in hopes of a solution. A
functional definition of insanity
is a person who does the same
thing over and over again, hop
ing for a different result. War
creates war. It’s a simple equa
tion. Certainly, we’ve learned
this. So, what can we do?
We can start by reducing our
need for oil. By anyone’s reckon
ing, oil is the prime reason we
became involved in this conflict
in the first place. Iraq, Iran,
Saudi Arabia - there is only one
reason to cultivate diplomatic
relations With these countries. I
don’t suggest we look for alter
nate sources of oil here stateside,
either. I push for alternative
fuel engines. There are hybrid
cars on the roads today that
already employ such technology.
Detroit is waiting in the wings.

CSUSM Claims
Diversity but
Lacks It
We are writing in response
to the lack of language pro
grams offered in this university.
As you may well know, Spanish
is the only foreign language in
which there is a major and minor
offered. The only other lan
guage program CSUSM offers
is a minor in French. Programs
such as Germaiv with 60 to
70 students, have been working
to establish a minor; however,
as the World Languages
Department refuses to support
these languages with as much
passion as they do Spanish, they
are struggling to build their pro
grams. Other universities in San
Diego recognize the importance
of supporting a variety of lan
guage programs. CSUSM seems
to be lacking in this area.
As students of the univer
sity, we are frustrated that our
study of language is limited.
It seems that we are not given
many choices. There is no incen
tive for many students to begin
studying a language other than
Spanish because we cannot hope
to achieve some recognition for
our work (like a minor or major).
Even in instances where a minor
may be in place, the classes
needed to fulfill it are constant
ly cancelled or cut out of the
budget. How can you learn a
language when you are not per
mitted further study of it? It
is frustrating to have to take
the same class over and over
again in order to keep up with
a language other than Spanish.
We need to progress.
In light of the recent events
of Sept. 11, we, as Americans,
have learned that we don’t know
as much about other countries,
their cultures, their religions,
and their languages as they do
about us. To become better citi
zens of the world we must study
and strive to learn about them
in the same capacity that we
expect others to know about
Americans. The university has
an obligation to recognize this
importance.
As an institution of higher
learning CSUSM must at least
offer students the opportunity to
learn about languages and cul
tures of the world. In CSUSM’s
mission statement it outlines
a vision to give students the
knowledge and skills to succeed
in a global society. How can,
it hope to achieve this goal?
By not offering a variety of lan
guage programs and classes, the
World Languages Department
is limiting the study of lan
guage and culture past the inter
mediary level to one language:
Spanish.
Although Spanish is a very
important language and culture
to study (especially in San
Diego,) alone it will not help
in creating a global society. As
students we ask that the uni
versity work to offer and sup
port a wider range of language
programs. We ask that we be
given a choice of languages to
study and excel in. We ask that
this university help prepare us
to become a part of a global
society that has a variety of
people, languages, cultures, and
religions. CSUSM claims that it
has diversity, but in truth we are
lacking it.

More Students Respond to
“Humanitarian Aid Kills People”
I am writing in response
to “Humanitarian Aid Kills
People,” by David J. Ludwig. In
brief summary of the article, the
author is expressing that the aid
given to starving people, human
itarian aid, will, in the end,
caused harm. The harm being
cause would arise when eco
nomic or food supply of the coun
try will become dependent on it;
therefore people will die.
This information supplied
contradicts the information given
by the Institute for Food and
Development Policy, They indi
cate that the idea of scarcity of
food is a myth. There is enough
food. The article explains that
developing countries have food
in abundance. The world today
produces enough food for 4.3
pounds per person, 2.5 pounds
of grain, beans and nuts,‘a pound
of fruits and vegetables, and a
pound of meant, milk, and eggs.
The problem of starving people
is not us giving handouts of
food, but the costs large food
corporations are placing on the
farmers. The countries have the
food, but they cannot afford it.
Corporations are putting money
into the country’s land where
export crops are being grown;
thus, leaving little aid to land
that grows food for the owners
of the land.
In place of assisting the
countries with handouts of food,
the humanitarian need is to assist
the countries and starving peo
ple with the production of crops
on their land. They need eco
nomic assistance in order to pur
chase their crops.

Scarcity the Reality — There is
Enough Food,” can be found in

Sending Aid Shows Support, Not Murder
This is in response to
the article, “Humanitarian Aid
Kills People.” I believe that we
know that by sending food we
will not save all the starving
people; but by sending “humani
tarian aid” we are showing our
support, and that we also care
about what happens to these
people.
I also believe that it
would be quite difficult for a
country as wealthy and power
ful as ours to just stand back and
know that these people are dying
of starvation, when we can obvi
ously send what we can. I do not
think this is a matter of saving
each and everyone of the starv
ing humans in the world, but it is
about common courtesy.

Fast Forward Transit Service Postponed U.S. Pulls out of
Racism Conference
Due to Contract Negotiations
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Feature Editor
The North County Transit
District (NCTD) has postponed
plans for the "Fast Forward"
transit service.
The new program would
have given Escondido residents
a direct bus route to Cal State
San Marcos. The proposed bus
route, 347, would have replaced
bus route 383.
The original date for the
start of the service was Sept.
16. However, NCTD and coach
operators were unable to agree
on a contract. On Friday, coach
operators voted against a contract proposed by the NCTD.
Many of the coach operators
said the NCTD was " . . . not
being fair, they have to pay us
what we deserve, many administrators make more money than
we do."
"Passengers should have faster trips, enjoy more convenient
service on main routes, and see
more comfortable bus stops over
time," according to an NCTD
booklet publicizing the service.
Meeting Our Future Transportation Needs
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Feature Editor
North County residents
attended a workshop on Saturday
to
assist
the California
Department of Transportation's
development of a federally
mandated, 20-year California
Transportation Plan (CTP) for
2025.
Kimberly Weinstein, chief
of the system-planning branch,
said that she was surprised to see
low turnout. 50 people attended
the workshop. "We were.expecting a lot more people," said
Weinstein.
San Marcos residents who
participated in the workshop
stressed their desires for a more
accessible and safe transportation system. Solana Beach and
Del Mar residents want better
community environment.
The CTP is a long-range
transportation plan that will
address local, regional, interregional, and international transportation issues. "The plan is
to make every dollar count to
improve mobility," said Jack
Boda, Interim District Director
of Caltrans.
The CTP Public Participation Program reaches out to
various communities throughout
California to learn the public's
views on transportation issues,
including the improvement of
highways, streets, rails, and transit systems.
Charles Anders, President of
Strategic Initiatives, conducted
an audience survey with the
use of interactive audience
technology, which is similar to
online polling. According to his
results, the important transportation needs for the public in
2025 include: viable transportation choices, and affordable,
accessible transportation.
"Every community is different and we understand that there
are different needs, that is why
we are conducting this survey
to try to reach all needs," said
Anders.
The California Department
of Transportation-District 11 and
the San Diego Association of
Governments (SANDAG) presented the workshop.
The CTP will host two more
workshops, olie in San Diego
and another in Imperial County.
The CTP will draft a plan and
policy review and will return in
the winter of 2001 with a final
draft for public review and comment. Those would like to participate are asked to contact Renee
Krolikowski at (619) 688-3295.

impact of the decision to pull out
that the U.S. made. They contend
that although the conference has
not progressed as planned, they
will continue to discuss ways
to mend past racial wrongdoings
and acceptable ways to deal with
ethnic diversity around the world.
The remaining delegates said they
have not lost hope.
The conference is designed
to look at and celebrate cultural
diversity, but was hindered by the
focus on the Israelis' treatment
of Palestinians, and the question
of the West paying reparations to
past victims of slavery.
When the U.S. pulled out
from the conference, the action
sparked mixed reviews from
conference attendees. AfricanAmerican protesters said they
wondered why the U.S. would not
compromise and continue with
the talks, and delegates said there
was no room for a compromise.
"This is not a question of
persuading people. This was a
question of an iron wall ... ,"
said delegation member and Calif.
Representative, Tom Lantos. On
the other hand, Mary Robinson,
the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights
who organized the conference
said, "There is a good sense that
we are back on course."
Last week the U.S. joined
Israel and backed out of the World
Conference Against Racism, held
in South Africa. Before the conference started, the U.S. and Israel
warned that they would not participate if the offensive language
in the documentation, labeling
Israel as "a new kind of apartheid," was not removed.
Secretary of State Colin
Powell said, "I have taken this
decision with regret because of
the importance of the international fight against racism and
the contribution that the conference could have made to it."
The European Union, in addition to the U.S. and Israel, questioned the criticism of the Israeli
nation, but they decided to continue talks on a promise from the
delegates to re-draft conference
documents.
The re-draft used Thursday
acknowledged a forced occupation of Palestine by Israel, but
no longer labels Israel as racist.
Since the change in the documents came at such a late time
in the conference, delegates from
the remaining groups said they
wonder if there will be any progress.

Women's Lacrosse Newest
A ddition to University
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
"Lacrosse is life, the rest is
just details," said student Stacy
Goldstein, describing a sport
she has been playing for seven
years.
Goldstein is part of the women's lacrosse club, the newest
addition to campus clubs this
year.
Rachel Acfalle, another student and lacrosse player, said,
"Right now it (lacrosse) is an
extracurricular activity."
Lacrosse is a spring sport
that combines soccer, hockey,
and football. The total cost for
the lacrosse equipment, which
includes the sticks and shoes, is
about $100 per student, according to Goldstein. There are
approximately 20 women in the
club, according to Acfalle!
The players explained that
men's lacrosse is slightly rougher
playing than women's lacrosse.
The women focus, for example,
more on running and using their
hands and sticks to catch the
ball, while the men play the
game more as if it was football.
Although official practice
will not start until February,
women interested in joining the
club have begun to practice and
use the sport "as a way to release
stress," said student Shannon
Donahue.
No information on the men's
lacrosse team is available this
week. Jeff Cudmore, co-captain
of the lacrosse team, declined
an interview, stating that Brad
Schmidt, Technical Coordinator
for ASI, must be present to
answer any questions about the
club.
Other lacrosse players on the
men's team also denied requests
for interviews during Friday's
lacrosse meeting on Mangrum
Track. Schmidt did not respond
to an e-mail or phone request
for an interview.
Those who would like more
information on the women's
lacrosse club may e-mail Stacy

Editorial
Note: Names of the individuals involved
have been removed at the editors' discretion.
Recently an individual who works
for the student government on campus
attempted to stonewall The Pride by
instructing a group of students not to communicate with Pride reporters. Whether
this decision was made to cover up any
wrongdoing is not known at this time,
but what concerns the student newspaper
staff the most is that the students gave up
their freedom of speech so willingly.
We understand that students make
their own choices. Those who choose to
give up their rights do so of their own
accord. Nevertheless, for those who may
not be sure of their rights, we would like
to explain them - with the help of information from the ACLU (American Civil
Liberties Union).
Taking control of a student's ability
to discuss matters with The Pride is
a serious offense to the editors and to
the readership of the student paper. We
understand that people will try to conceal
information.
But any attempt to keep individuals
quiet, especially students whose stories
may be told in print, silences their voices
and hinders freedom of expression. Students' voices must be heard, especially in a
university whose values include academic
freedom and multiple perspectives in the
classroom and in the daily lives of all individuals associated with this campus.
WHAT IS FREEDOM OF
EXPRESSION?
"The First Amendment guarantees
our right to free expression and free
association, which means that the government does not have the right to forbid
us from saying what we like and writing
what we like; we can form clubs and
organizations," according to the ACLU.
The Supreme Court has written that
this freedom is "the matrix, the indispensable condition of nearly every other
form of freedom." Without it, fundamental rights, such as the right to vote, would
wither and die.
The First Amendment exists precisely
to protect even the most offensive and
controversial speech from government
suppression, with the exception of language intended to incite violence.
WHY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
IS ESSENTIAL (according to the
ACLU)
• It's the foundation of self-fulfillment. The right to express one's thoughts
and to communicate freely with others
allows each individual to realize his or
her full human potential.
• It's vital to the attainment and
advancement of knowledge, and the search
for the truth. Enlightened judgment is
possible only if one considers all facts and
ideas, from whatever source, and tests
one's own conclusions against opposing
views. Therefore, all points of view —
even those that are "bad" or socially
h armful — should be represented in society's "marketplace of ideas."
• It's necessary to our system of
self-government and gives the American
people a "checking function" against
government excess and corruption. The
American people must be well informed
and have access to all information, ideas
and points of view. Mass ignorance is
a breeding ground for oppression and
tyranny.
HISTORY OF FREEDOM
Speech is protected in the United
States more than in any country in the
world. However, the path to freedom
was rough. It took nearly 200 years to
establish f irm constitutional limits on the
government's power to punish "seditious"

and "subversive" speech, according to the
ACLU.
The Constitution's creators believed
that freedom of expression was the hallmark of a democratic society. But historically, as was the case with the Red Scare
of the 1920s and the McCarthy period,
First Amendment rights have been tested
time and again. But we must keep in mind
that censorship threatens
free speech.
In the 1969 Tinker v.
Des Moines Independent
Community
School
District case, the Supreme
Court held that students in
public schools do not leave
their First Amendment
rights at the schoolhouse
gate. This means that you
can express your opinions
orally and in writing - in leaflets or on
buttons, armbands, or T-shirts, according
to the ACLU.

Act, which made it a crime for anyone to
publish "any false, scandalous and malicious writing" against the government.
During the late 18th century, the act was
used by the Federalist Party to prosecute
prominent Republican newspaper editors,
according to the ACLU.
The early 20th century was not
much better. Many were jailed for
expressing their opinions, including feminist Margaret Sanger,
who was arrested for
giving a lecture on
birth control.
Finally, in 1969, in
Brandenberg v. Ohio,
the Supreme established a new standard:
speech can be suppressed only if it is
intended and likely to produce, "imminent lawless action." The Brandenberg
standard prevails today, according to the
ACLU.
National security has been one way
that the government has attempted to
shield itself from criticism. The government has historically overused the concept of "national security" to discourage
public discussion of controversial policies
or decisions, according to the ACLU.
While the withholding of information
at CSUSM has little to do with national
security, The Pride realizes that it is
indeed a matter of the students' right to
have access to information that concerns
them - whether that information is about
the administration, clubs and organizations, policies and procedures - or the
decisions of its own government.
Was this incident a form of keeping
students quiet? We think so. But they
shouldn't have let it happen, and we
shouldn't continue to let it happen. Even
a "little" thing like this has the possibility
of further silencing students' voices. Do
not let yourself be quieted.
"Any attempt to
keep (students)
quiet... hinders
freedom of
expression."
CONTINUED DISRUPTION OF
FREE SPEECH
The Pride feels concerned when individuals attempt to take "action that is
motivated by an attempt to control, manipulate or punish past or future content."
According to the Kincaid v. Gibson
case in 1990:
School officials cannot:
(1) Censor or confiscate a publication,
withdraw or reduce its funding, withhold
student activities fees, prohibit lawful
advertising, fire an editor or adviser,
discipline staff members or take any other
action that is motivated by an attempt
to control, manipulate or punish past or
future content. Kincaid v. Gibson, 236
F.3d 342.
This law also applies to all student
government officials, according to the
State Board for Community Colleges v.
Olson, 687 P.2d 429.

Freshmen elaim law, rights violated
in eviction from student housing
By Tony Barton
News Editor
Students Casey Lapage and
Oliver Hepp were evicted from
CSUSM student housing at the
Islands apartment complex Dec.
3 due to "continued violation of
policies," according to Housing
CoordinatorTanis Brown. Lapage
and Hepp were evicted after a
visit from their living advisor,
Brad W ard, on Dec. 1, when
school housing rules, >vhich have
not been publicly disclosed, were
found to have been broken.
"A program like this can't exist without rules," said Brown.
Lapage has made the accusation that he and Hepp's civil liberties were infringed upon by their
not being given "adequate legal
notice to vacate." Law requires 15
days in the light of a lease agreement to supply sufficient time for
tenants to relocate.
"We said 'Can we have until
the end of the semester(to vacate)?' and they said no. W e said
'can we have a week?' and they
said no. W e said 'can we have
three days?' and they said no,"
said Lapage.
Brown stated that the student
housing contract was in fact a
licence agreement, not a lease,
and that the law is not applicable.
She also stated that under the
terms of the licence agreement,
tenants could be vacated immediately.
"We continued within contract
boundaries. W e wouldn't have
pursued the action we took if it
was notwithin them," said Brown.
Lapage criticized the fact that
housing rules were distributed
and signed after the signing of
the licence agreement papers.
Students had already signed the
agreement before the rules were
officially distributed.
"Students concerned aboutthe
policy in any way were encouraged to have an open forum for
discussion. There were no attempts to take the policy any far*
ther than it was layed out in the
guidelines," said Brown. "We
wanted (the school housing) to
be a safe place for first-year students. W e wouldn't want any
other students in jeopardy."
A ccording to Lapage, h is
mother was not informed of the
eviction, though she co-signed
the licence agreement.
"My mother was a co-signer
and she wasn't informed about
anything. The school has handled
this irresponsibly," said Lapage.
Lapage and Hepp had to have
escorts to pick up their belongings, which had been locked inside their former apartment, and
other school housing residents
were told they would be evicted if
Lapage or Hepp were allowed in
student rooms.
"(Brown) can't get away with
(evictinguswrongfully),"Lapage
said. "She can't get away with
going against our rights."

land leasing by the Spagetti Factory and Hometown Buffet
restaurants, along with on-going land development, are the
current workings towards the plan's completion.
"Here we are seven years later with the town center underway," said San Marcos Deputy City Manager Paul Malone. "It
has worked out pretty well so far. We've been victims of the
economy."
Additional land may be leased to Scripps, Kaiser and/or Koll
developing company. A movie theatre complex and hotel are
also in consideration. In addition, much of the land surrounding
CSUSM needs to "be made into developmental condition,"
according to Malone.
Anew six-lanefreewaybridge over highway 78 on Twin Oaks
Valley Road is also on the agenda for 1997.
It would not be unreasonable for the plan to take nearly 20
years to be completed, under the current economic conditions,
according to Malone.
"When the economy strengthens, I don't think it will take 20
years," he said.
Making San Marcos a more attractive choice for a California
State University was also an inspiration of the "Heart of the City"
plan. City officials offered to collaborate with state trustees in
city planning if the university were to be located in San Marcos.
Plan negotiations with the Chancellor's office in Long Beach,
which beganin 1996, were two years in the running.
" (The university) is a substantial part of the community. It's
part of the educational focus of the town. We're building San
Marcos's identity around two institutions of learning (CSUSM,
Palomar College)," said Malone.
Malone pointed out the level of cooperation between the
university and city government as a strong point in the city's
development.
"The degree of cooperation is unusual. There's usually some
level of friction. We're hoping to avoid that in the planning
process," he said. "Many communities with universities have
problems. We're hoping to avoid that. We're committed to keep
talking."

WHAT'S NEWS
Library answers students
The Cal State San Marcos Library has issued its responses to a student
survey conducted this semester. The concerns and answers are listed below.
The information comesfromBonnie Biggs.
Many books are out of order. Books piled over on book trucks. I've never seen anyone
replacing books. This makes it difficult if books are out of order or still on trucks if we need
them.
We hope to have the shelves "read" during the winter
break. We only have money for a limited number of student
assistant shelvers, the increased circulation of books has
created a backlog. We do ask libraiy users nottoreturn
materials to the shelftohelp us avoid the "out of order''
problem.
When a student has all 5 classes on campus and needs to use the Lexus/Nexus, has all
sylabuses (sic) for all classes but has left school ID at home but has California ID. They should
be allowed to use it I only needed itfor 5 minutes. This is mid-terms and students do not need
this stress!
The CSU license agreement with Mead-Data (Lexis Nexis)
is extremely strict about usage. One CSU campus in Northern
California had its license revoked because a non-CSU student
was found to be using Lexis Nexis, thus leaving all students
without the service for a semester.
Access with a large number of books seems only possiblefromCraven Hall without
climbing stairs and a labyrinth of closed access ways. Can't it be possible to create a book drop
in the student parking lot?
There is a book drop in the cul de sac around infrontof
Craven Hall-near the flag pole-within reachfromyour car.
Everyone is very helpful and nice, but please, BE OPEN ON SUNDAYS! (Forthoseofus
who work—it's hard—plus the hours on Saturday aren't long.)
Thank you for the nice comments about the staff—we take
pride in serving our libraiy users. We hope since you wrote
this comment you have been able to use die libraiy on
Sundays from 1:00 to 5:00. We've altered our weekly
schedule to be open on Sundays due to comments such as
yours.
I feel that we as students of CSUSM should get the same privleges (sic) as students who
attend SDSU. Our school (CSUSM) has a great many advantages over SDSU. M our library
is not one of them. It's not the size of the library but the hours it (sic) open!! This is a major
university and thefore (sic) the library should be open at the very least till midnight and 24
hours during exams if possible.
The libraiy is now open on Sundays from 1:00 to 5:00. To
keep the library open until midnight would require additional
staff—which we are unabletofund this year. Even though our
libraiy staff is only about one-quarter the size of SDSU's Love
Libraiy, (CSUSM 27 to SDSU's 105) we are open 68.5 houre
compared to their 82 hours per week. In addition, as a CSU
student, you are welcometouse the Love Libraiy.
v Why not put computer (Mac's and IBM's with printer) in the library (somewhere) for use by
students. There are many times I wish I could just type my papers after I do my research.
Thanks—future students will appreciate it
We hope you have had the opportunity to use the newly
installed computers on the thirdfloorof die libraiy at the back
of the stacks.
I would like to recommend a cork board for students to leave messages for group members.
With the growing number of groups at this school and people either changing the place to meet
or time change I think that this would be quite beneficial.
Inresponsetoyour request—we installed a cork board
near the libraiy exit and so far it has not been used. Please
pass the word.
Perhaps you would consider a card similar to the one stapled here for your machines. Often,
amount needed to be copied can exceed the small bills carried. These could be sold in
bookstore.
-Yes—we are woridng on contracting out copier services that
would include copy card capability.
We need more duplication machines..^ in the libraiy, 1 in Duplication Services...not always
in operation. How about a room with card operations...liiere has been an increase in the
number of students, yet we do not have more machines.
Yes—there has been an increase in students but no
increase in libraiy space. Additional machines would
interfere with student study spaces. A separate copy room is
planned for die libraiy and information center building when
it is built
Why are there only 3 copy machines for 3670 students? I ask this because 2/3
of these machines are inoperable at this time. 5 PM on 4/4/95. What is up? Oh
yeah...the 5C machine in Science Building in down too!
With the new service, we hope the 3 machines are always
in operation!
I really like the new computers but everyone is talking in the backroom now. We need more
rooms for groups to meet and talk & we need to have control over people talking in the Library
when others are trying to read.
Yes. This is a problem. We regret that the space problem
in the libraiy will get worse before it gets better—since there
are no plans for expansion until die libraiy and information
center is built in 10 years. While libraiy staff trytoenforce
"silence" rules, they cannot be eveiywhere aH the

Program is SUAVE when it comes
to blending the arts and education
Rap songs about photosynthesis? You won't see them on MTV,
but you will hear them in a fifth
grade class where teachers are
part of the SUAVE program.
Teaching students through the
arts is the goal of SUAVE, which
is an acronym in Spanish for
Socios Unidos para Artes Via
Educacidn (United Community
for the Arts in Education).
SUAVE is an innovative, one-of-akind program developed by Cal
State University San Marcos
(CSUSM) professor Dr. Merryl
Goldberg in partnership with the
California Center for the Arts,
Escondido (CCAE) and elementary schools in San Diego.
The partnership reflects the
changing role of the arts in the
face of major budget cuts which
have eliminated most K-12 art
classes in California. By integrating art into math, science, history
and other subjects, SUAVE provides a more fundamental role
for art in education.
Now in its second year, SUAVE
placed three professional artists
who serve as arts coaches in elementary school classrooms.
They became partners with the
teachers, creating new ways to
utilize the arts as a teaching tool.
Goldberg has found that when
art is integrated into education,
learning becomes fun and students retain more. It also offers
students morefreedomof expression, which gives bi-lingual students greater educational opportunities.
The partners have developed
curriculum including writing poetry for language acquisition,
drama for students to learn history, and the visual arts to teach
geometry. By making puppets of
past presidents, students not only
learned history, but also anatomy
and math as they scaled down
measurements, for example.
The coaches — a visual artist,
a musician, and a puppeteer/actor —join their partner teachers
on a weekly basis in the classroom. Coaches and teachers
work together to develop activities that are directly related to the
children and the curriculum.
In addition, the coaches and
teachers attend five in-service
days at the California Center for
the Arts, Escondido where they
share their experiences and meet
with professional artists-in-resi-

dence at the arts center. At the
last session, 20 teachers presented their newly-developed
curriculum.
The program also involves
educating future teachers. As
part of their student teaching, 25
College of Education students
from CSUSM who focus on the
arts for their credential are placed
in SUAVE classrooms.
Goldberg's plan is that after
two years of the program, classroom teachers will in effect become mentors at their schools,
enabling the three coaches to
work at other schools.

Remember real meaning
of Christmas this season
As each year comes to its end, the
time for creating Christmas lists
begins. Shopping carts fill to the
rim,Christmaslightsgoup,andpine
.
,
trees are chopped down. Amidst the Yuletide tumult of traffic, and frantic
shoppers testing the limits of their credit cards, is the feeling of well-being,
warmth, and Christmas spirit. As we look forward to the new year, many of us
cannot wait for the worries and problems of the past year to be resolved in the
signing of tax forms, registering for Spring classes, and the refreshing feeling of
beginning a new year.
During these months, too much is, I think, forgotten and taken for granted as
we tend to get caught up in the frenzy of "holiday bargains," and guilt-oriented
media advertisements. We don't take the time to really relax and enjoy the
comfort of family and friends as much as we should. In our efforts to make the
season a joyful one, we spend hundreds of doUars on clothes, toys, and other gifts,
and then create more stress for ourselves by making plans for the upcoming year.
In this age of telecommunications technology, have we forgotten how to
communicate human-to-human; face-to-face? Try turning off the television and
the computer, or unplugging the phone for once. Try sitting down on the couch
with a hot cup of cocoa or cider, and enjoying the simple company offriendsand
family. Try forgetting about the concerns of the real world for just a couple of
hours, and look at old pictures or call up an oldfriendin a distant city. Most will
find this a lot more rewarding than buying expensive or unnecessary gifts and
worryong anout the impending bills to come. I find it sad that too many people
don'tfeel comfortable spending time talking to, or just enjoying the golden silence
while in the presence of others.
The mode of thinking during Christmas tends to be one of annual habit rather
than one of reverence for the tradition (which was originally based upon the birth
of Christ, and the idea of selflessness which He proclaimed). We tend to disregard
the origins and history of Christmas and as a result, we get caught up in the giving
and the getting. This is not about forcing matters of personal belief upon anyone.
I f s about coming in touch with the truth of the celebration of wrapping presents,
kissing under the mistletoe, drinking eggnog, and especially spending quality
time with brothers, sisters, closefriendsand fellow human beings.
So try and take the time during this holiday to give someone a hug, reflect on
the accomplishments of the past year, and remember the real reason for the
season. "Do unto to others what you would have done to you."

It's gettin' late...
gotta say goodbye
I couldn't think of a better way to end
my tenure as editor of The Pride.
As I sit here at 9:48 p.m. Tuesday night
(5 hours behind schedule), I'm thinking
about how I've managed to end this semester with a bang. I've been flamed to
death on the campus Internet newsgroups
and two students put together quite a nice
piece of satire about this newspaper called
"The Shame." Not bad.
Part of a journalist's job is to not only
support the community it serves, but to
ruffle a few feathers here and there as well.
After all, it is we journalists that are responsible for getting many discussions
about controversial issues started in the
first place. Those kinds of issues not encourage people to think, they help provide
a check on the power structures and people
that make society work. From our editorials this semester — from the infamous
THE "chalking" to slamming the Associated Students for saying we are an "arm" of
their organization — it is clear that the
editorial staff has not been afraid to state
its opinions, me included. I am proud of
the stances we have taken this semester.
The editorials you have found on these
pages have been the most biting in The
Pride's short three-year history.
Many people on campus have indicated
to me that they believe I am the sole
person responsible for the content and
production of this newspaper. I am here to
tell you that is not so. This semester's
newspaper boasted the largest and most
eager group of reporters and editors ever.
My thanks go to Tony Barton and Paul
Hilker for being our most diligent news
hounds. For thefirsttime, I wasn't writing
all the news stories! To Ty Carss and Todd
Federman, I thank them for getting The
Pride on-line with an Internet edition.
People as far away as Baton Rouge, La.
have been reading our paper. My thanks

also go to Dave Taylor, Trish Nagy, Oliver
Hepp and John Wheeler for providing the
highest-quality photographs ever. I applaud John Loch and Joyce Kolb for sticking with us even in the midst of horrible
illness and deadline mishaps. To the rest
of the staff, those who have stayed and
those who have had to leave us, I thank all
of you for your contributions. All of you
provided a solid foundation and a tradition
of excellence that will last for many years.
Above all, I want to thank one person
who never received much credit during
the media blitz this paper received at the
b eginning of t he semester. Mary
Szterpakiewicz was The Pride'sfirsteditor, and without her hours of hard work
from fall 1993 to fall 1994 this paper would
not be here in thefirstplace. She had the
enthusiasm and wherewithal to create an
excellent newspaper, and I thank her for
her constant news updates and information this semester.
Finally, I want to thank the campus
community as a whole,fromDr. Bill Stacy
to the first freshman students. Without
your readership and support, this paper
would have no purpose. I ask all of you to
keep reading next semester as a new editor takes the helm.
The clock now reads 10:05 p.m. Writing
this column is my last act as editor. Then
it's on to one more final exam, and a new
full-time job with the new North County
Times. My best wishes got to everyone at
this university, which I have proudly attended for three-and-a-half years.

Faculty and staff come together to
honor CSUSan Marcosfounders
By Paul Hilker
Staff Writer
Three years ago, a quilting project was
begun as a memento recognizing the
founding staff and students of Cal State
San Marcos.
On the quilt are over a hundred signatures of students, faculty and supporters
who were involved in the establishment of
the campus as an independent university.
Interest in the project was inspired by a
group of seven CSUSM staff members:
History Advising Coordinator Leslie
Zomalt, Housing Coordinator Tanis
Brown, Human Resources Management
Director Judy Taylor, Associate Dean of

time giving homage to founding members
of CSUSM." The group raised money for
the Bree Tinney Scholarship Fund by
charging $2 per signature. The quilt will
be displayed on campus after its completion.
The quilt project has also initiated creative spirit on campus, according to the
quilters. Other groups like the tenants of
the student housing complex and the staff
of the College of Arts and Sciences have
also adopted or completed quilt projects of
their own.

�Avalos work
on display at
art museum
By Paul Hilker
Staff Writer
For those interested in contemporary art, one of Cal State
San Marcos's art professors,
David Avalos, has a work on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art near downtown San
Diego.
The work, entitled "Shards
From A Glass House," is part of
an art display called "Common
Ground: A Regional Exhibition"
and is open to viewers until Feb.
11. The exhibit presents recent
work by 18 San Diego-area artists.
Avalos has been a member of
the CSUSM faculty since 1991.
His current research is being
done on Chicano art in the border region. Since the 1970s
Avalos's artwork has conveyed
strong socio-political issues surrounding the plight of illegal immigrants and Mexican-American
ancestry. He adds perspective
and insight in the identity of the
Mestizo and Chicano people
through many different styles of
art and exhibition.
Avalos's research, which reflects boldly in his artwork and
his courses, states that relating
personal research and classroom
instruction is a necessity.
"Victor Rocha, the Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences,
impressed upon the faculty that
the research of professors be
strictly related to their classroom
instruction and dialog," Avalos
explained. "So I've found a way to
have my research facilitate my
instruction."
When asked what style of art
he prefers to create, Avalos was
reluctant to categorize himself as
an artist who has a specific style.
"As an artist, I am not defined
as 'a painter' or 'a sculptor^ or
'photographer,'" he said. "My art
is expressed in a wide variety of
media such as computer art, poetry, hand-made objects and other
things."
What is it that distinguishes
contemporary art from specialized art styles?
"Contemporary artists are not
limited to a particular medium or
style of art. Expression is only

noted. Avalos said he is very
pleased with the diversity represented by the students in his
classes. "There is a wonderful
mixture of ethnicity in the students that attend my art classes,"

Film Critic
Longing for some daring adventure laced with sexual innuendo and sardonic humor in the
world of international espionage?
If so, then the latest addition to
Ian Flemingis infamous James
Bond series, "Goldeneye," di-
rected by Martin Campbell, is the
film to quench your thirst.
Though it lacks depth, you
should not be disappointed, for
the very nature of a Bond film is
to entertain the audience with
mindless fun, not offer a greater
insight into the human condition
or the secterts of the universe.
Delivering laughs and excitement, "Goldeneye" is quite simply a film to be enjoyed. As always, the stunts extend beyond
the realm of reality, but why would
we expect anything less from
Britain's number one sectert
agent 007? The most intriguing
element of a Bond film is never
whether he will succeed or fail
(we already know that Bond always saves the day), but rather
the way in which he will do it this
time. With "Goldeneye," however, there is an even more important question on everyone's
mind, for we all wantto know who
the new guy is behind the gun!
It's been ten long years since
the rumors began that the debonair Pierce Brosnan was to be the
next James Bond, and the wait is
finally at an end! Not since Sean
Connery played the part has an

The boys seem to have everything right
this time with "Donkey." It has the right
mix of rockers and sensitive guy ballads.
The first single, "War," is an awesome
song getting much airplay on 91X . How
can you not love a song that has a verse
"We drank tequila and watched your Mom
dance at the Bambi Club?" This is, of
course, after your sister is complimented
for making "me feel good last Christmas/
in your mom's station wagon behind 7-11."
Next is "The Ballad of Tommy and
Maria", which sort of reminds me of "Dick's
Automotive" mated with "Natural Born
Killers." After this is a song for the guys, a
good excuse for the girlfriend let's-havesex-song called "Now's Not the Right Time
for Love."
"Suburbia" is about crazy, wacky, kooky
life-in-suburbia (what a shocker). Officially
closing the album is "Hangover", a song
for the truck driver in all of us.
There are two unlisted songs on the
album. The first is for John Lentz and is
caljed "Your Ghost". The album as a whole
is also dedicated to Lentz, who was gunned
down in Balboa Park on May 1,1994. It's a
pretty depressing tribute to Lentz, who
apparently was a big Rugburns fan.
Closing out the album is that Christmas
classic you and grandma will soon be singing around thefireplace,"I Hate F***ing
Christmas." I can't wait to hear grandma
lamenting about how hard it is to get co-

007
Continued from page 7
actor so smoothly captured the essence of
Fleming's 007, and Brosnan seems to have
been born for the role. Although Bond's
world has evolved with the times (there is
now an ironfisted female playing the role
of M), he is still the same old 007 that we
have grown to love, with his "cavalier
attirude towards life" and that undeniable
charm with ladies. Bond's notoriuos sexual
antics, however, have not gone unchecked.
Not only does his new boss refer to him as
a "relic of the Cold War," she even goes so
far as to call him a "sexist masogynist
dinosaur." It seems that this time around
Bond cannot even save the day without the
help of his female companion, Natalya,
played by Izabella Scorupco. Poor James.
Could the man with the golden touch have
finally met his match?!
M is not the only woman reeking havoc
in James's life though, for his new
masochisitic adversary, Xenia Onatopp,
played by Famke Janssse, does her fair
shre of damage to Brosnan's perfect form.
Despite the fact that Onatopp is pure evil
(and, yes, that name is a little sexual innuendo Bond style), you can't help but be
mesmerized by her enthusisam for the
job. She is definitely one to look out for!
