Can I Get a Price Check? NOPE
By CHAD SPINKS
Pride StaffWriter
United Food and Commercial Workers, UFCW, members
organized a strike against Kroger,
Albertsons, and Safeway chain
grocery stores that began October
13. According to the UFWC website, the strike is an effort to protect
employee benefits which are being
cut under a new provision. The new
provisions would decrease medical
benefits by half and jeopardize long
term employee's pension plans.
A lawsuit has been filed by
UFCW Unions against Albertsons
and Ralph's, who have locked
out employées, for violating the
California Mass Layoff Notification Law (California Labor Code:
Section 1400). The law requires
all employees to be given 60 days
notice prior to a mass layoff.
Andrea Conner stands at the
entrance of the Ralph's shopping
center holding a picket sign reading,
"Ralph's Employees On Strike."
Motorists drivé by honking horns
and giving thumbs up of approval as
she waves back with a smile. "Any

Pick-up Crashes At CSUS
By JONATHAN ROIXEY
Co-Editor
A black pick-up truck slammed into a
traffic light last Saturday at the intersection
of Twin Oaks Valley Road and Craven Road
at the main entrance to CSUSM.
The driver, Curtis Roberts, is
currently listed in critical condition at
Palomar Medical Center.
Police reports are yet to be issued, but
witnesses said the driver speeded through
a read light and lost control of the vehicle
when he hit a dip in the road.

Breast Cancer
Awareness
By DANIELLE BOLDT
P ride Staff W riter
The American Cancer Society has
recognized October as the National
Breast Cancer Awareness mopth
and is "dedicated to increasing
awareness of breast cancer issues,
especially the importance of early
detection of breast cancer."
As the most common cancer found
in women after Lung Cancer, it has
been predicted that 211,300 women
will develop Breast Cancer in 2003
and 44,000 American women will
die this year. Because of the high
mortality rate and risk for Breast
Cancer, October 17 is National
Mammography Day. Throughout the
month of October, radiologists offer
free or discounted screening mammograms.
With various "pass the word'
campaigns, encouragement of
early detection plans, and sponsored walks such as the San Diego
Stride Against Breast Cancer
Walk, people have joined together
to create awareness and help battle
this disease.
There are some risk factors that put
you at a higher risk for developing
Breast Cancer:
1. If you are a woman (occurs in
men also, but it is very rare)
2. If you are over age 50 you
have a higher chance.
3. A close family history of
breast cancer (although there
are a higher number of cases
found in women without a
history).

Breast Cancer contact Student
Health Services.

Who is Nichole Hollick?
Nichole Hollick is a twenty-one
year old student at GSUSM who
is majoring in English. She sits in
my Tuesday, Thursday Literature
class, and like me, is originally
from Temecula Valley High
School. We even graduated the
same year. When asked about
High School, she told me that she
used to want to become a veterinarian. She joined a medical academy program in High School, but
soon realized that it wasn't for
her. "I was like why am I doing
this? I wanted to be a veterinarian!" It was by the end of high
school when she realized that she
didn't want to be a veterinarian
anymore. She was approached
by a teacher, who suggested the
idea of becoming a lawyer. She
was intrigued by that. " I love
to argue," she explained to me,
"So I was like why not become
a lawyer!" When asked why she
is majoring in English when she
wants to study law, she explained
that one has to have a bachelor's
degree first, then after that, they
can go to law school.

she Was trying to change, but
she had gotten locked out of the

She suspected the guys who
worked there of using it, because
it was cleaner. Dressed warmer,
and ready to do the interview,
she began by telling me about
her day.

on her way in t/v her biology
class, she looked around for her
crush. "I try to sit by the person
that I like in Biology, but it never
works!" Nichole laughed and
said "Sometimes people sit by
him, and I'm like don't sit there!"
She feels like this class never
participates enough, but she likes
it because she enjoys group discussions. In the middle of class
that day, Nichole began to feel
sick. "I have an herbalist that we
(her family) go to, and I realized
that I hadn't taken my anti-stress
pills. I had to leave and go home
and take the pills." When asked
why she takes herbal stress pills,
she told me that the stress could
sometimes be too much. "Sometimes I just want to be a fly on the
wall," she explained.
Nichole's Love Life:
Nichole told me that she had read
the articles in The Pride about
speed dating, and people's f rustrations with the dating scene at
CSUSM, and agreed. "People are
either married, or I can't talk to
them because this school's not
social, but then again, I haven't
been going to most events. It
would be great to meet someone

�10 T hings to K now About B efore You Buy A Car
By D M LUND
Pride StaffWriter
Ever heard that expression, "Buyer beware?" It's
true, innocent car buyers
often don't know where to
start when buying a new
car and are consequently
talked into buying a car
that doesn't satisfy them.
An informed customer
knows what he/she wants
and what to expect when
negotiating.
^
Know what you want.
Many people buy cars
before they have taken the
X
time to do the research
on what type of car is for them.
If you plan on getting married
and starting a family within the
next few years, that new sporty
convertible probably isn't the car
for you. Likewise, that used V-8
pickup might not be a good choice
if your gas consumption is on a
limited budget.
^ ^ ^ Know the worth of your
W old car. To estimate the
/
value of your vehicle,
J m ^ look up prices on websites
such as KellyBlueBook.com or
the classifieds in the local newspaper. Remember that one of
the biggest profits for car dealers
is their used car lot. Although it
may take longer, selling your car
directly makes you more money
than trading it in.
^^
I
Know whether new or
used works best for you.
Santiago Sierra, a salesperson for Hoehn Audi
said, "Are you willing to take
a risk buying a used car from a
private individual or play it safer
by buying from a dealer or do
^ younot want to have any trouble
whatsoever and buy a new car?"
Althougfe\used cars are more
affordable, oftentimes the condition of the vehicle is unknown
and the car is\ no longer under
warranty. With cars that have a
high retail value, it may even be
cheaper to buy a/iiew car.
A Know whether leasing or
/ I buying is best for you.
^ X i If you plan on turning in
l y o u r car in 2 or 3 years,
leasing would definitely be more
practical than buying a car. However, commuters find the mileage
limitations a burden and people
who enjoy adding modifications
to their car are either penalized or
unable to receive extra monetary
value when they return the car.
M ^ Know what you want to
^ ^ ^ pay for the car. Negotiat| ing is the most important
part of buying or leasing
a car. Be assertive and realistic
in the price you want to pay. Get
bids from several different dealers, including internet sales sites
such as CarsDirect.com. Hussain
Mahrous, President of the San
Diego chapter of Wild Horses
Mustang Club said, "Pick a car
that you want that's within your
price range and don't let dealers
push you around. Set a goal on
how much you're willing to pay
and don't let a dealer screw you
over."

Talebi, it is essential that consumers understand what qualities are
valuable to them. The New Car

rates cars in terms of safety

from the trade in, the new car,
and the after-market sales such
as extended warranties and body
kits. Car dealerships receive rank
and rewards based on volume and
annual increase in sales; they
want to sell their cars.
By researching the type of car
and deciding on how much to
pay for it, you should be prepared to stand your ground
and haggle with the best of
them. Knowledge of the car
and of what you want is the key
to being a satisfied consumer.

Ombudsman's Notes
By MICHAEL DOLAN
Pride Ombudsman
There is quite a bit of news
happening right now in California from the recall of Governor
Davis and the election of Arnold
Schwarzenegger t o- the labor
dispute between the United
Food Commercial Workers and
their management at local grocery stores. These are hot topics
that which people have strong
opinions particularly because
they are politically and ideologically charged. With that being
said, The Pride is resolved to
provide a balance on these and
other important issues.
These are issues that should
encourage, if not demand,
reader feedback. In doing some
research into other ombudsman
columns in major papers, it is
obvious that it is quite difficult
to keep everyone content with
coverage that is provided. This
is an unfortunate consequence
of news reporting on issues that
are divisive. Some readers go as
far as to dig out an undertone
in articles which they believe
proves a bias favoring one side
or the other.
I have not received any
complaints accusing The Pride
of political alliances or choos-

ing favorites, but it is possible.
We, of course, do not have the
reader base of a major city newspaper. Therefore, the number of
responses I receive is limited,
but all the while crucial since
The Pride is here to provide
information to the readers.
Since there are many
issues that affect us all if for no
other reason than geographic
proximity, I want to know
your thoughts on them and
your comments on our coverage. The email, as always, is
dolan005@csusm.edu.

Chargers wide receiver
David Boston made an
impressive showing on
Sunday's 21-27 loss to
the Jacksonville Jaguars
with 181 receiving
yards, 12 catches and
two touchdowns. He
also apologized to the
team, coaches, fans,
and franchise about his
behavior since he signed
with The Chargers on a
-seven year contract.
This does not mean that
Boston won't strike at
the bolts again.
He has already
been suspended for
simply not showing
respect or dedication
to the team. He
missed important team
meetings that players
were required to attend.
He lost his temper and

phone number for the Adventure
Center is incorrect The correct
number is (760) 750-6009.
In the article 'TViay I Take

This
suspension
was enforced during
the Raiders game,
forcing Coach Marty
Schottenheimer
to
start wide receivers

experience.
If Boston does not

to show up to team
meetings, he may also
get hurt. Boston missed
the game against The

may always come back
to effect his game.
While playing with
the Arizona Cardinals
Boston had two D.U.I.'s.
He did not learn from
his first experience
and got a second,
meaning he may get
more D.U.I.'s in the
future. The Chargers
will not let that slide
and take disciplinary
action. This may take
him out of more games,
practices and helping
the bolts get into the
winners bracket.
Boston has plenty
of talent and muscles
to be a great football
player, however, has an
attitude and hard head
to be another Ryan
Leaf. Let's hope that
Boston is not compared
to the unsatisfying
quarterback when all is
said and done and just
helps the Chargers get a
few wins this season.

M embers of A P S S s how their s pirit

G houls & s keletons r eady to s care all w ho are brave e nough to v enture d owntown
By SHARON BAYRON
Pride StaffWriter
Those looking for a truly
thrilling evening need look
no further than Frightmare on
Market Street in downtown San
Diego. Located in the heart of the
Gas Lamp District, Frightmare
on Market Street is as chilling
as its name implies. People of
all ages are lining up, anxiously
awaiting to be scared, and indeed,
Frightmare delivers.
A
ghostly,
emaciated
gatekeeper wishes its participants
"good luck" as they descend
into a dungeon like hole. The
screams of the brave group
already navigating the maze can
be heard at the entrance, adding
to the suspense in the air. A
mixture of dim lighting, bloody
figures, and denSe fog all feed the
apprehension of the unsuspecting
crowds. Around each corner lies
a frightening surprise, and each
step leads into a different horrific
scene. The groups of people that
enter this haunted labyrinth may
enter individually. Most groups
exit the maze intertwined and
linked at the arms, gripping
their unknown neighbor with a
panicked clutch. As the maze
progresses, the scenes become
increasingly intense, and by the
time the maze ends, thrill seekers
are literally running up the exit
stairs and into the safety of the
well lit street above.
Frightmare on Market Street
will run for the remainder of
October until November 1.
Tickets for the haunted maze are
$12.99 and may be purchased
directly at the box office on
Market Street, or online at www
.frightmareonmarketstreet.com,
and group rates are available at
the online site. Frightmare runs
Friday and Saturday, from 6:00
p.m. to 1:00 a.m. and Sunday,
Wednesday and Thursday from
7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. During
the weekends, this attraction
becomes fairly crowded, so those
planning to buy tickets at the box
office should plan to get there
early. If the line to get in looks
discouraging, don't worry. Music
is provided by local radio stations
outside while you wait. Also
beware of the occasional bloody
ghoul who has been known to
come up from "underground" to
startle unsuspicious guests.

Urban Bush women
was founded in 1984,
and is an award-winning
dance troupe which has
performed in the U.S.,
Latin American, and other
countries. The dance troop
combines dance, music, and
storytelling with the sacred
traditions, cultural heritage,
and immense history of
African Americans, and
African people worldwide.
Choreographer Jawole
Willa Jo Zollar, founded
Urban Bush Women in
1980. Since then, she has
created almost 40 dances,
including her choreography
for Urban bush Women, and
her creation of HairStories.
According to the Urban
Bush Women website,
HairStories is a production which.. "explores the
concept of nappy hair and
itsr relationship to images
of beauty, social position,
heritage and self-esteem."
The production also focuses
on the intense debate in the
African American community about the politics
of hair. HairStories was
inspired by moments in the
choreographer's own life,
as she herself battled with
these very same issues.
The group is going
to perform excerpts from
one of their famous works
entitled HairStories here at
CSUSM on November 10 at
6:00 pm in the Arts center

When am I ready to
date again?
BY IVAN GARCIA
Pride Staff Writer
Ouch, tough question. There are so
many temptations out
there during, and especially a fter, a relationship is over. Maybe
you have a thing for
that one girl with the
brown eyes in your Human Sexuality class (yes, ironic, I know),
. or that boy with the spiky hair in
your American Literature course,
or that girl with the hump back or
third nipple in your Anthropology class (not really, but could
you imagine?).
D isclaimer: Ivan Garcia does
not condone the violation or the
use of visual, physical, or informational exploration in or out of
class to obtain visual, physical,
or informational proof as to the
existence of a third nipple.
As I 'm sure you read about in
my last article (you read it right? I
mean, you'd really hurt me if you
didn't read it), recovering f rom a
relationship is your first priority.
Never are you to put yourself or
your potential p artner at risk of
getting hurt or in a position to not
receive your f ull commitment.
Make sure you're ready to
commit again, don't j ust go f or a
" booty call," otherwise I 'll find
you and kick you in the face. Make
sure to b e r espectful, take your
time, but also understand that
you can't wait too long. You never
know when something amazing
might pass you by. Obviously if
you j ust got out of a 2 or 3 year
relationship (for example), take
the appropriate time you need to
get things straightened out with
your ex, establish a support network or f riends and family, then
move on.
If you do so happen to find that
special someone again, make sure
that person knows and understands your past relationship and
how you're feeling about it now.
Please don't tell them that you're
t otally
ready
to
"do
it"
when in reality all
you do when you
get home is crawl
in your bed, f orm a
fetal position, and
cry.
Number 1, I 'm
sure that'd b e a little
creepy and sad. A nd 2, w ell...
you must have been dating
Legolas or Chuck Norris or
something for you to b e that
depressed.
Let me set up a scenario,
you (yes, you) j ust got out of a
3-year relationship. Your partner was the one that initiated
the break-up and you still love
them. Staying at home and
looking at old vacation photos
in which you both visited the
world's largest ball of y arn
isn't your cup of tea.
On a side note, if you do do
that, then be happy that y'all
broke up because that sounds
REALLY boring.
A nyways, so what is l eft
to do when you c an't forget
about her/him? C ommunicate
with people, learn their personalities, m ake a real connection, and h opefully something f antastic can flourish.
Just r emember that that recovery solution sure as hell i sn't
going out and having v arying
sexual encounters with many
d ifferent people. Sex should
b e a connection between t wo
people that love each other, so
something tells me that yelling out C had's name while
violently

Belligerence, b ooze, blondes
BY KAT BRANDT
Pride Staff Writer
Every night at 10 o'clock at the
University Village Apartments,
two resident advisors suit up with
a blue binder and do two sets of
rounds. Rounds consists of checking every door in the dorms to see
if it's locked, reminding hyperactive Freshmen that quiet hours
commence at 10 p.m., and hoping
that the nightly rounds will be
without incident.
On one such innocent night,
David Skora and I were walking the halls at the UVA. Not two
floors in we come up to a door that
is reverberating with voices and
music. Skora and I look at each
other and knock, but to no surprise, there is no answer. We ring
the doorbell repeatedly, and suddenly the place goes dead quiet. I
kid you not, from inside we hear,
"Shhhhh! It's the RAs!" *
Bathroom doors open and
close (hide!). Cabinets shudder as
they are slammed shut (hide the
booze!). The front door is barely
cracked opened, and one sheepish guy tries telling us that there
isn't a problem. After a quick
head count, we find that there are
twenty-three guests—and all for
one resident. The guests filed out
the door, but one blonde, drunken
guest came back for the phone
that she had left behind. Her bulg-
ing purse clanked with cans, and
Skora asks her to please take out
all the beer (eighteen cans). Curse
words flowed out of her mouth
as seamlessly as the Coors Light
flowed into the sink. Our resident
director asked me to call UPD, and
while I was doing so the belligerent blonde ran off and crouched
in some bushes. She was chased
by UPD, caught, questioned, and
then handed over to a friend.
After all the excitement and
verbal abuse, Skora and I go on
to find five more parties, filled
with under-aged drinkers, cursing their being found out. Being a
resident advisor doesn't mean that
we're out to bust residents—we're
looking out for their best interest,
their health and safety. We take
on this position to make sure that
residents get the most out of their
college experience, and in the process, we accumulate some hilarious stories.
Making an impact
C SUSM students reach out to Escondido youth
t o work w ith a real l ife situation,
instead of the 'what i f scenarios
that are created by a text book or
a professor that involves a simple
Google search. We are interacting
and working with real life people
and real life situations. Overall
its great because we are making
a difference in the community
while we get a great education."
Dr. Sun says the semester project will help the creation and
deployment of multimedia to
achieve business goals via marketing and communication that
requires proficiency in computer
graphics, digital audio, digital
video, and tools which allows
the integration of a variety of file
types into a coherent presentation
experience. This course will also
teach CSUSM students how to
work in teams and complete complex projects.
The program's overall purpose
is to bring out awareness and
make a difference in our community. MIS students are making a
video to help out, but anyone can
get involved. Escondido Impact
needs volunteers to help coach and
organize events. If students are
interested, they can contact Dave
Luevanos, at escondidoimpact@
yahoo.com or 760-219-5594.
"The announcement regarding today's request for input at the
Academic Affairs Town Hall was
sent out by the Academic Senate
Study Group which is comprised
of four faculty members, a student,
a student affairs staff member, and
an administrator. The Academic
Senate Study Group is seeking
feedback and input from students,
staff and faculty at the Academic
Affairs Town Hall."
Since other campuses in San
Diego like SDSU and USD have
ROTC programs, some people
find it surprising that a North
County campus has not offered
this option.
"I find it hard to believe, considering the amount of Marines who
come through here," said Michael
Dominick, who works at the Veteran's Service office at Palomar College. "You would think that with the
proximity to the base in Oceanside,
one of [the campuses] would have a
program set up by now. It confused
me when I applied here just coming
out of the Marine Corp."
So far, not even Mira Costa College, which is located in Oceanside, has offered ROTC courses for
any branch of service.
The introduction of these
courses offers a lot of choices to
the Cal State San Marcos campus.
If introduced, it could mean a lot
of money and funding, for both
the physical structures and the
academic curriculum. Many more
students looking to apply to college
could consider Cal State as a wellrounded campus.
On the other hand, the conflict
between policies cannot be ignored.
It also presents a chance for our
students to make an impact on the
real world. This dispute could act
as a microcosm, and whichever
way we solve it, will have applications in the real world.
CSUSM students are helping
students who are less fortunate.
Dr. Yi Sun's Multimedia in Business (MIS 427) students are creating a benefit video for Mission
School's Soccer Academy.
The Mission Soccer Academy,
now in its second year, is becoming the Escondido Impact. Escondido Impact is hoping to reach
out to less fortunate students and
to the entire Mission Park Community with the help of CSUSM's
According to Escondido Impact
volunteers, the program's main
purpose is to help students discover the road to success. Dr. Sun
said, "Some of my students have
expressed to me that they grew up
in a similar environment. I think
it's a very noble project. I think
what our students are doing is
noble, volunteering their free time
to help these kids."
The program has made an enormous impact on the lives of many
kids already. By proving academic
support and mentoring, all of the
student's involved in the program
All of the students have a GPA of
a 3.0 or higher. These students had
less than a 2.0 average before the
program's introduction. Now they
cannot wait to get to high school
and continue on to college.
The benefit video's creation is
free of charge. Dr. Sun explains
that the program does not receive
enough funding to be able to pay
for a project like this. "We don't
charge. We provide a service and
at the same time our students learn
from this experience."

flicts with CSUSM's policy of nondiscrimination. The Academic
Senate, who will use student feedback from both the meeting and
comments submitted online, will
address these concerns as they
make their decision.
"The Academic Senate's Curriculum Committee will make a
recommendation whether or not

CSUSM, and their recommendation goes to the Academic Senate
for a vote," said Cathy Baur, Associate Vice President of the Communication department, where the

From here to there, Dr. Seuss remembered everywhere
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Editor-in-Chief
How many can remember m aking
green eggs and ham in elementary
school or the f irst time they read " The
Cat in the H at?" What about the yearly
tradition of watching "How the Grinch
Stole C hristmas" on C hristmas Eve?
For creating such a staple in American
pop c ulture, most c ouldn't even recall
the f ull name of the man behind these
iconic c haracters and children's books.
Even Google changed its faceplate
this past Monday, March 2, to honor the
b irthday and legacy of the late Theodor
' Ted" Seuss Geisel, more commonly
known as Dr. Seuss.
The Random House website
dedicated to all things Seuss
related, Seussville.com, contains a c olorful biography on
the author.
Geisel was born on March 2,
1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Geisel credited his
mother f or his famous rhyming technique. His mother,
who worked in a pie bakery
in her youth, used to chant the
pie names to customers and
in t urn, would use the same
chants like nursery rhymes
to calm Geisel when he had
trouble sleeping.
For someone who w rote such
moralistic c hildren's stories,
Geisel's early y ears as a college student not so i nnocent.
Geisel a ttended D artmouth
College *and*-was. * editor- i n
chief for their humor magazine, "Jack-oLantern."

Oxford University awarded him a fellowship. His father was so excited that
he told their local newspaper to report
the story. Geisel then confessed
that Oxford denied his fellowship and his
f ather had
to round up
his savings
to
send
to Oxford
anyways.
While attending Oxford
with intentions to become
a professor,
classmate Helen Palmer
noticed Geisel doodling during class.
She told him that
he should become
an artist instead of
a professor. Geisel
took the advise to
heart and pursued
his career in art and
w hen
he was
caught
t hrowing a
party
created cartoon style t raining f ilms for
the U.S. Army.
A fter the war, Geisel continued publishing his cartoons in various magazines but he also had a desire to write
as well. His f irst few attempts were met
with rejection or little acclaim.
" The Cat in the H at" gave Geisel
notability and skyrocketed his career
as a children's book writer and illustrator. Some of his other famous books
include "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish
Blue Fish," "Hop on Pop," and "Horton
Hears a W ho!"
Geisel died in San Diego, CA on
September 24, 1991. In 1995, UCSD
renamed its University Library Building, Geisel Library in his honor.
This past December, Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria
Shriver inducted Geisel in the California Hall of Fame located at The California Museum for History, Women, and
the A rts in Sacramento.

Ted was asked why he added the title
"Dr." to his pseudonym. He replied that

C ougar News Network
C N N to report on campus events and highlights
BY DIANA VALDIVIA
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM Programming Council is a
collaboration of many departments here
on campus. The Programming Council
includes departments such as Associated
Students, Inc., Athletics, The Clarke Field
House/University Student Union, Student Health & Counseling Services, Student Life & Leadership, University Village Apartments, among others. One of the
main purposes of the Programming Council is to come together to develop a calendar
showcasing student events that connect to
the campus.
Recently, three students, Emily Rehm,
Nicholas Stein and Sean Richards started to
collaborate with the Programming Council
to feature a brand new student news show
that presents campus events.
Cougar News Network (CNN) is
CSUSM's student news show. Rehm, Stein,
and Richards currently work for CNN.
Rehm and Stein both anchor the news show
under the personalities of Locksley Choz
and Dusty Butterworks. While Richards,
as Jet Michaels, mainly reports on campus
events. CNN is currently doing a monthly
episode featuring highlights around campus
life.
The Pride had the opportunity to interview two of CNN stars, Dusty Butterworks
and Jet Michaels.
Diana: What does CNN stand for?
Dusty: CNN stands for Cougar
Jet: News
Dusty: Network
Diana: How do you come up with the
idea?
Dusty: Well actually Nick Stein is in
the Orientation Team and they did a video
on the Orientation Team where they were
newscasters and it kind of sprouted off that
with someone that works down in the studio
at the library he kind of had a good idea for
us to start a student news show.
Diana: What is CNN about? What do you
do?
Dusty: You want to take this one Jet.
Jet: Well CNN is all about getting the
word out for the people on campus in a fun
and chicky way instead of sitting there and
watching the power points. It's all about
the students, it's all about getting the word
to students. It's them first and then me, Jet
Michaels and then my man Dusty right
here.
Dusty: Building a community.
Jet: Getting them interested in what is
going around in their campus and getting
into school pride. It's all about Cougar
Town. It's all about Cougar Pride and
Cougar Town.
Diana: What do you enjoy the most of
working in CNN?
Jet: Well Jet Michaels being the reporter
in the field that I am I just get into people's
face, the awkward conversations that you
wouldn't initiate that reaches the truth personality of who you are looking for. As
Jet Michaels that's what I look for the real

Jet: What do you got Dusty, anything?
Dusty: Well I just can stress enough to
get involved. You know what I am mean.
Jet: The more you are involved, college is
supposed to be fun. We kind of have a small

This week features one of the

It appears other films makers

be "un-filmable" because of its
darker elements, yet fans of the
comic books, which debuted in
the mid-1980s, will get to see the

The movie is a film adaptation of the tales of comic book
super heroes. Unlike the typical
Batman or Spiderman film version, "Watchmen" is dark and
filled with violence and sex.

expect a bloody, action-packed,
and visually stunning film.
The film promises to be entertaining for those who have not
read the comic book as well.
The story is about a group of
superheroes seeking revenge for
the death of a colleague set in
a different version of society in
1985.
Other than that, there is ntft
much to say about the h andful
of limited release films debuting
this week. There are two foreign films, "12" and "Tokyo!,"
which might appeal to the artloving crowd. "12" has earned
awards and acclaim, but may be
too serious for the average filmgoer.
The huge comic book fan base
and slick advertising campaign
will put "Watchmen" on top of

the box office. It has the potential
to make a tremendous amount of
money.

W hat to see on DVD
A post Valentine's D ay hangover
BY BLAINE MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
It is strange how t hings work
out. On the week celebrating
St. Valentines, no movies were
in the queue that r eflected the
h eart of the moment. T his week
delivers broken h earts and
broken people. Well, mostly
j ust broken men. A fter watching these f ilms, I began to
wonder, 'Are we men as a species truly so d efective?' While
most women would likely
answer yes, Tmly a t ruly h onest
man would answer the same.
So let's take a deeper look at
this week's DVD selections
f eaturing love and men at their
worst.
"My Name Is Bruce." This
film stars cult movie star Bruce
Campbell. Bruce does pretty
much anything other than mainstream Hollywood fare. Bruce
is the glue that holds together
campy productions. His work
ranges from the "Evil D ead"
trilogy to cult classic television with "Xena: Warrior Princess," "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and h is own spin
off of these shows "Jack of All
Trades." He then he goes back to
the big screen fighting mummies
as Elvis Presley in "Bubba-HoTep." In this film Bruce portrays
himself. J eff, one of Bruce's
biggest fans, removes , a talisman f rom a m ineshaft entrance
and in the process releases the
dreaded Bean Curd Demon.
Taylor Sharpe in his first movie
role plays J eff, and fills the role
j ust fine. With no idea where to
t urn, or who to t urn to, Jeff kidnaps Bruce and drives him back
to his small town in the middle
of nowhere. J eff's mother Grace,
played right in tune with the
production by Grace Thorsen,
is Bruce's foil and love interest.
She exposes whatever flaw's
there are in Bruce that he didn't
already expose. As lightweight
as this film is, the overall experience is a f un time. If you are
a Bruce Campbell fan, you will
have f un. If not, you'll probably
have a good time too. What to
See ***
"My Best Friend's Girl." This
f ilm opens in such a vile and
o ffensive m anner that it openly
dares you to t urn it o ff. Watching Dane Cook as the cretin
lead character Sherman " Tank"
Turner, you have to wonder how
m ankind has survived. Tank is
the foulest, r udest, boisterously

dares you to stick it out, and I
took the dare. The s ofter side
of this f ilm was captured by the
lovely Kate Hudson, in the role
of Alexis. Alexis is not p erfect,
she is not looking for love,
and she is (over)actively being
pursued by Dustin, played by
Jason Biggs, Tank's cousin
and roommate. Alexis has no
romantic interest in Dustin at
all. Although Dustin pursues
heavily, it is to n o avail. It is
time to call in Tank, the AntiHitch.Where Witt Smith would
train men to be b etter men to
win the girl, Tank is the t rain
wreck that shows the girl how
good her no good b oyfriend is.
Nicely done is the typecasting of Alec Baldwin as Tank's
father, who is a Professor of
Women's Studies at the University. A well played ironic twist.

Performance art, Dagnabit!
BY MATT LEWIS
Pride Staff Writer
When the word "guerilla" is heard, it
often conjures up images of war, violence, and sabotage. To use it to describe
art and performance is not typically what
springs to people's minds. However,
a student run organization on campus
called Dagnabit Productions is looking to change that. This organization is
comprised of students who participate in

improvisational presentations. In these
showings, they exhibit performance art
and illustrations on campus. Their first
performance, which took place last Tuesday in the dome, involved the members

12:30. Exactly five minutes later, they all
began their normal routines once again.
While impromptu performances like
this may be interesting to watch and also
create conversation, why would students
do this? "Our goal is to promote performance, art and creativity on campus and
to create a sense of community amongst

Bella heard breathing heavily
behind her, followed by the unmistakable sound of tearing foil. She
felt herself shaking, small tremors encasing her body with an
overwhelming sense of fear and
anticipation. One trembling hand
glided down the curve of her back
and she arched back into its touch
with an equally uneasy sigh. She
moaned again as it settled on her
hip, Edward's ghostly touch holding her steady.
She heard herself moan Edwards
name as he pushed into her, hips
rising after the sensation, there
was no discomfort just a rapid
spreading glow. Bella felt the mattress shift as Edward climbed
up behind her. Both of Edward's
hands gripped Bella's hips, Bella
felt the tremors running through
Edward's body as he aligned himself. Bella felt an answering shudder in her own as Edward entered
her. Bella felt the heat rise in the
swell of her back as she pushed to
meet Edward, eager and wanting,

I've yet to determine whether
it is of greater benefit for me to

I should be surprised to have
seen this bare rack, but I'm not.
I know exactly why this independently pressed album's allotment
sold out in this little corner of
the world. Ane Brun is appealing. She exudes candor like you
might see in faces of green musi-
cians on the streets playing for
anyone who will* listen. But
she's good. Think Nick Drake
plus Bjork minus the depression and eccentricity.
The album'sfirsttrack, "The
Treehouse Song," is made
of organic acoustics with a
tempo guaranteed to induce
some head nods. Shallow
drums are the foundation for
a reserved strum and bassline.
Her clean soprano is rich with
vibrato and layered harmonies, breathing a story of a lost
lover's dream. As simple as
Brun's compositions are, they
haunt whatever minds they
visit until their otherworldly
business is finished.
I should label Ane Brun as
an Indie musician, the kind of
musician you casually mention at a show in the hopes of
collecting some street cred. I
should wonder who bought
those albums at Lou's, and
if they realized what they
bought. So, is she famous?
Maybe not, but she should be.

"Don't need gentle," she

The library plaza
buzzed with new and returning
students alike during the Leave
Your Mark fair last Thursday,
Sept. 2.
Under a white tent
sat more than 30 tables with
representatives from organizations associated with CSUSM.
The event's purpose was to
showcase many opportunities
for students to "leave their
mark" on the CSUSM campus
and further their involvement,
according to Student Life and
Leadership.
Student Life and
Leadership, SLL, sponsored
the event and coordinated a
mass photograph of incoming
freshmen on the steps outside
University Hall.
Free 20th Anniversary
t-shirts were distributed to the
freshman, and Crash the Cougar was front and center in the
photograph.
"Witnessing the first
year student picture was quite
a sight!" said Kathryn Hayes,
SLL student representative and
President of Sigma Tau Delta,
English Honor Society.
Hayes was pleased
with the success of the event. "It
was nice to see the enthusiasm
from thefirstyear students, as
well as returning students, going
through all the tables and taking
advantage of the hosted events,"
said Hayes.
SLL staff members
Joshua Galea'i and Jennie Goldman ensured that the event went
smoothly and all participating
parties were well represented.
Four rows of tables
beneath the tent offered information about their services from 11
a.m. to 1 p.m. while a live band,
Live in Los Angeles provided
music.
Hope and Wellness
Center, Math Lab, Writing
Center, Eco Club, and PRIDE
Center were but a few of the
organizations participating in the
event.
Melanie Slocum, a tutor
at the Writing Center, was happy
to have participated and predicts
the fair will have a positive
outcome on new students.
"Hopefully now
students won't have second
thoughts about using resources
like The Writing Center because
they were able to meet a few of
us and learn that we don't really
bite," said Slocum.
SLL's Weeks of Welcome events continue through
Friday, Sept. 9. For more information, visit the SLL office in
Craven 3400.

Communications and Mass Media now declared impacted
Competitive G*PA requirements now needed to enter either major
BY S ANDRA C HALMERS

HORROR
REVIEW
A RTS A N D
E NTERTAINMENT, P. 8
Communications and
Mass Media have now been
added to the impacted majors
list this fall 2010. A total of six
majors are now impacted at
CSUSM: Communications and
Mass Media, both Bachelor of
Arts, join Business Administration, Kinesiology, Nursing, and
Human Development.
"Impacted" is a term
used to describe a major that has
more qualified students interested than can be accommodated
for. Since CSUSM wants to preserve a quality classroom experience, certain screening requirements are now being enforced.
In easier terms, Communications and Mass Media are
now in the top ten most popular
majors for CSUSM, showing
clearly that currently there is not
enough faculty support to supply
the demand of the students interested in either growing major.
Screening criteria includes a requirement of 60-se-
mester of baccalaureate-level
coursework applicable toward a
degree at CSUSM and completion of coursework equivalent to
the lower-division preparatory
coursework for the Communication and Mass Media major.
A list of the major prep
classes can be found at www.
csusm.edu/admissions/impaction/impactedmajors .html
A minimum GPA of
2.5 needs to be achieved in the
major prep classes in order for
students to apply and be accepted officially into the major.
Without completion of
major prep courses, and meeting
the minimum GPA requirements,
students cannot enroll in upper
division major core classes.
Since this limits freshmen and sophomores to even
declare Communications or
Mass Media until they have
finished the prep classes and are
in junior class standing, until
requirements have been fulfilled,
they can be admitted as "PreCommunications" or "Pre-Mass
Media."

have it spread to several other

bugs can be transferred in any

to check an apartment top to

OATMEAL: SO CHEAP, SO SWEET!
BY J ENNA JAUREGUI
D IGITAL M EDIA M ANAGER
When faced with a tight food
budget, many college students turn to
Ramen noodles and the fast-food dollar
menu—meals that satisfy the wallet but
not always the appetite. If you are among
the droves of starving students who find
their bank accounts running dry after buying parking permits and textbooks, allow
me to introduce you to an old friend you
may have forgotten: oatmeal!
A delicious, hot comfort food, oatmeal
is an incredibly filling, nutritious grain
that can substitute as breakfast, lunch,
dinner, or dessert. According to versagrain.com, oats provide both soluble fiber,
which lowers bad cholesterol, and insolublefiberthat can keep you... "regular/' In
addition, oats boost your immune system,
provide several vitamins and minerals,
and may help prevent certain cancers.
Quick oats can be cooked in just minutes,
and smart shoppers can bring the price
per bowl down to mere pennies. Here
are three sweet ideas to zing up this great
grain and add even more nutrients.
Pumpkin Pie
Vi cup quick oats
A cup pumpkin puree
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
allspice, honey, and brown sugar to taste
Carrot Cake
Vi cup quick oats
VA cup shredded carrot (cooked)
2 tbsp. vanilla yogurt
cinnamon to taste
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie
Vi cup quick oats
1 packet hot chocolate
1 tbsp. peanut butter
l
Everyone prepares their oatmeal different ways—some like it hot, some like
it cold, some like it in the pot nine days
old (as the rhyme goes, though I do not
support that plan). Cook it how you like
it! Throw in some nuts, some fruit, or
whatever you think sounds delicious. Get
beyond the raisin rut! Pop the bowl in the
microwave, and you have a delicious hot
meal in just minutes. Have fun experimenting!
Ciao, my oatmeal-savvy students!

Robert Rodriguez is clearly doing what he loves to do most in "Machete," his most recent homage to the
B-films of the 1960s and 1970s. Derived
from a fake trailer that he created for the
"Grindhouse" double-feature released
with friend Quentin Tarantino, Rodriguez
took full advantage of every Mexican
stereotype he could think of, surrounding
them with needless nudity and absurdly
comical violence. The film is crude, disgusting, campy and immensely entertaining.
Machete (Danny Trejo) is an
ex-Federale who vows vengeance on the
drug lord, Torrez (Steven Seagal), who

Torrez, Machete
spends his time
roaming a parking
lot in Texas looking
for work with other
illegal immigrants
from Mexico. He
finds himself hired
by the nasty and
conniving Booth (Jeff
Fahey of "Lost") to
assassinate the bigoted Texan Senator,
McLaughlin (Robert De
Niro). However, when
Machete realizes that
he has been used as a 4»
political pawn to further
Senator McLaughlin's
re-election campaign,
his need for retribution
is kicked into overdrive
and Machete is joined
by freedomfighterLuz
(Michelle Rodriguez),
Padre the priest who
knows how to wield
12-gauge shotguns
(Cheech Marin), ICE
agent (Jessica Alba) and Booth's junkie,
internet porn star daughter (Lindsay Lohan).
Instead of relying on plot or
character development, which are two
elements completely ignored in this film,
"Machete" depends upon the exploitive
humor of using Mexican stereotypes as
a running joke. With decapitated heads
flying, weed-whackers as weapons and
cell phones being hidden within orifices of
the female body, the only thing needed to
know about this film is that the plot is irrelevant and the humor is worth the ticket
price.

Interpol - Self-titled
Interpol's fourth studio album, self-titled "Interpol," is a perfect display
how the band has evolved since theirfirststudio album "Turn on the
Bright Lights" was released in 2002. Listeners will recognize the band's
familiar sound, but "Interpol" will touch on more orchestral inspired
sounds. This is also the last album including bassist Carlos Dengler who
decided to pursue new projects. Dengler had been with Interpol since the
band's beginnings. Thefirstsingle, "Lights," was released in May followed by "Barricade" released this summer.
Sara Bareilles - Kaleidoscope Heart
Ever since her single, "Love Song," hit the airwaves, Sara Bareilles gained top chart attention with her catchy tunes, relatable
lyrics and beautiful use of the piano. "Kaleidoscope Heart" is
Bareilles' second studio album with Epic Records, and the first
single, "King of Anything" gives off an empowering feel yet
still manages to sound upbeat and positive. Bareilles has also
released webisodes at www.sarabmusic.com, documenting the
process of making "Kaleidoscope Heart."

Chase banking customers and
iPhone owners can now enjoy an updated application from Chase that allows
customers to electronically deposit checks
into your account without ever visiting an
ATM machine or talking to a bank teller.
Simply take a picture of the front
and back of a check using your iPhone's
camera, and the app will use the picture to
read the amount and routing information.
If it is unreadable by the application, users
can manually enter the numbers, which
still saves you a trip to the bank.
The application also features a
new QuickPay service that allows users to
send money to anyone with an email address, regardless of who they bank with.
The service is free and does not charge
either party a transfer fee.
In order to use thefreeChase

to enroll in thefreeChase Quick Deposit

make them laugh all night. Plus, I like
the attention when I'm running around in

The show begins with a humorous introduction explaining the show
rules, which aren't many. Then there's the
induction of the "virgins" who have never
been to a Rocky Horror Picture Show
before which often includes bananas, whip
cream and good 'ole fashioned spankings.
"First timers can expect confusion. Utter
confusion. Some of the stuff people are
yelling might offend them. Some stuff
might make you laugh your ass off," said
Cassidy. A few other games, such as "unhook that bra," will get the audience fired
up for the show.

audience member, you will yell callbacks,
throw stuff and dance the "Time Warp."
If you don't have things to throw or don't
know how to do the dance, don't worry.
Goody bags full of items to throw at specific times during the movie are available
to purchase for $2 and the "Time Warp"
steps are easy and the movie shows you
how to do it. "It's an audience participation movie. I stopped going for the movie
a million years ago. It's all because of the
people and the friendships you develop,"
said Cassidy.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
is held every Friday at midnight at La
