TUESDAY. MARCH 11. 200.1
Results of Survey show CSUSM leads in Writing, Technology, Number of Commuting Students
By GABRIEL MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
The results of the 2002
National Survey of Student
Engagement (NSSE) have been
released and Cal State San
Marcos has received high marks
from students for the third year
in a row. The survey compares
the responses of incoming freshmen and graduating seniors to
those in master's level institutions across the country, as well
as other schools in the CSU
system.
The NSSE survey has been
conducted every spring since
2000. The survey items examine the extent to which students
exhibit "good educational practices" as determined by a consortium of national educators. The
questions ask students to estimate how much time they spend
on such activities as writing and
group work. College staff is not
involved with the survey. The
Center for Survey Research at
Indiana University compiles the
questions and randomly selects
which new freshmen and graduating seniors receive it. 367 San
Marcos students were chosen to
take part in the survey, which
was distributed to around 80,500
students nationally. More than
half of polled students even

will reduce the extent of cultural,

�Fall 2003 Commenoement Ceremony Not in Budget Plans
By JULIE MYRES
Pride Staff Writer
Spring commencement ceremony is held every May for
graduating students who have
finished both the fall prior to
that spring semester as well as
those who have completed their
degrees that semester. Cal State
University San Marcos does not
have plans to hold a fall commencement ceremony similar
to the spring commencement.
The fall 2003 graduates will be
included with the spring 2004
graduates in May 2004 at whichever venue the commencement
committee decides upon. Fall
2003 graduates will be given a
small reception in their honor
at the end of the fall semester in
December 2003.
The commencement ceremony
is the usual pomp and circumstance walk-through ceremony
like high school and university
graduations. The graduates
wear robes, walk up to the stage
in front of friends, family, and
all other graduates in order to
receive their diplomas for the
completion of their degrees.
The Fall Recognition Recep-
tion, which will be held in the
fall graduates' honor after the
fall semester, consists of a small
reception with refreshments,
speeches from members of the
administration, and takes place
in a casual atmosphere. The
graduates' names are not read,
they do not wear a robe, and they
do not receive their diplomas up
on stage. In years past, President
Gonzalez, Dr. Martinez, and the
ASI President have spoken at the
reception. Historically, this gathering has been held on campus.
Is there a possibility of holding a real commencement ceremony in the fall?
"At this time, no," According
to the vice president of student
affairs, Dr. Francine Martinez,
"The costs associated with planning and holding a full commencement ceremony are prohibitive. Additionally, extensive
research in the CSU has shown
that there are no campuses that
hold a fall commencement ceremony. In response to student
requests we instituted a Fall
Recognition Reception in Fall
01, continued in Fall 02 and are
already making plans for Fall
03."

writing requirement is much
more stringent here than at other
schools, particularly in composition of short and medium length
papers. The learning of a second
language is not a requirement at
many schools, and graduating
seniors are much more likely to
learn a second language before
they graduate. Students at San
Marcos report a slightly larger
emphasis on analysis and incorporation of abstract theory than
at other master's level schools,
particularly at the freshmen
level. Seniors at San Marcos
are slightly less likely to learn
through repetition of memorized material than other CSU
students, though nationwide and
at the freshman level there is an
equal emphasis on memorization.

Past commencement ceremonies for CSUSM have been held
on campus at Forum Plaza, but
because of construction projects in that area of campus, the
ceremony was moved to the Del

held last year, and where it will
be held again this spring.
What can students do to voice
their opinion on this topic?
"Over the next few months
elected ASI representatives will
be going to students and asking
for comments/thoughts on these
opinions; students should take
the time and respond. Additionally, we will plan to have information tables set up on Forum
Plaza and an information session
where students can also share

CSUSM students are also significantly more likely to use the
Internet as part of class work,
as well as to communicate with
other students and faculty via
e-mail. They are more likely to
make presentations and work in
groups on class projects. Compared to other CSU schools, they
are more likely to ask questions
in class. Despite the heavy workload, CSUSM students say they
are happy with their education
and would enroll in this school
again. More CSUSM students
reported that their class work
makes them better writers and
more technologically capable
than did students at other
schools. San Marcos students are
also happier with their faculty
than other CSU students, though
nationally the response to faculty

said to be similar to the fall of
2002 numbers, but data is still
being gathered. The deadline
for spring 2004 graduation is in
late September, so the figures for
spring 2004 commencement will
not be available until sometime
after the deadline.
Marcos is only slightly different from the other CSU schools
in this regard, but much more so
than national schools, especially
among freshmen. Also, students
at San Marcos are less likely
to work in internships or apply
what they learn in school to their
current jobs, and less likely to
interact with faculty outside
of class. San Marcos students,
seniors especially, reported that
there is little support on campus
for non-academic needs, such as
family or social issues.
The commuter nature of
the campus is another distinctive feature of CSUSM, a trait
shared with all CSU schools.

Men's Golf Team Takes First at
CSUSM Golf Tournament
By GABRIEL MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
The CSUSM men's golf team finished
in first place at their 2003 Cougar Classic
on March 4 . Thefinalscore for the team
was 866 (291-282-293). Sophomore Ryan
Axlund said, "The team is starting to
show its potential and I am excited about
the way we are playing." The two-day
tournament was held at the San Luis Rey
Downs Golf Course in Bonsall. Seventeen men's teams competed in the event,
as did six women's teams. The men's
course covered 6,750 yards, with a par of
72. Three rounds were played.
th
By the end of the third round, the San
Marcos team had a score of 866, leading
them to a very close first, ahead of Cal
State Bakersfield who had a score of 867.
Cal State Stanislaus came in third with
873. Tying at fourth, with overall scores
of 882, were Grand Canyon University
and Southern Nazarene University.
Commenting on San Marcos' first
place position, Axlund said, "As soon
as we start getting too comfortable with
where we are in the standings and stop
putting forth the effort I know we can,
the other schools out there will pass us."
When asked if he felt that would happen,
he replied "Not at all. We are all good
players, and we will just keep playing."
The men's next golf tournament will be
on Mar. 17, hosted by Drake University at
the Diablo Grande Golf Club.
The team was brought to thefirststanding with junior Rob Keller leading, who
finished sixth overall. Keller's final score
was 216 (69-75-72). Junior Cory Scoggin was ranked 67 after the first round,
and improved by the final round to finish
twelfth overall,
with a score of

For the second tournament of the
season, Cal State San Marcos held their
2003 Cougar Classic Golf Tournament
at the San Luis Rey Downs Golf Course
in Bonsall. The two-day tournament
started Mar. 3 and hosted six women's
golf teams, as well seventeen teams for
the men's golf tournament. The course
was 6, 365 and par 72.
Closing out the Classic tourney on
Mar. 4 after two rounds of the course
was the Southern Nazarene University
of Bethany Oklahoma in first place with
654 (334-320). The Cougar's golf team
followed three strokes behind for second
with 657 (333-324). University of British
Columbia placed third with a score of 659
(336-323); Lewis-Clark State College of

University of Victoria, British Columbia
finishing infifthwith a score of691 (351340). In sixth place was UC Santa Cruz
closing with 817 (401-416).
The course was packed with golfers,
and it was a lot of stop-and-go from
teeing off at one hole and waiting for
the next to clear. Weather was on the
compliable side for opening day, and the
women's golf team gave a respectable
performance by finishing in first. The
second day weather conditions were not
so forgiving because of the rain. Junior

Two strokes behind was senior Jennifer

Cal State San Marcos had the
pleasure of hosting the Guerrilla
Girls last Tuesday, and the sold
out show began at 6 p.m. in the
Arts building. Born in New York
City in 1985, Guerrilla Girls
started as a public educational
campaign, fighting against the
devaluation of women in art
and science culture. Guerrilla
Girls have produced over 100
humorous, sarcastic, in your face
and, to some, offensive posters,
stickers, books, printed objects,
and billboards as their voice.
Over the year they have been a
part of events that have exposed
sexism and racism in politics, the
art world,film,and the culture at
large.
Monkeying Around
The show opened with the
infamous Guerrilla Girls coming
down the aisles, adorned in true
jungle drag fashion (mammoth
size gorilla masks and black
attire) and throwing bananas out
to the audience. The Guerrilla
Girls both agreed later on in the
show that this is part of the fun,

�THE PRIDE
W omen's H istory Month
By ARACELIB. CATALAN
Pride Staff Writer
Learning and thinking about
societal norms will be the emphasis of Women's History Month at
CSUSM - cultural life, political
life, and social life. The societal
realization and coming of age of
the strong, intelligent, and hardworking woman is the reality of
what a woman is today.
The events this year on campus
will consist of various events that
will be held on campus from Mar.
4 through Mar. 27. One of the
scheduled events for Women's
History Month at CSUSM is
"The Feminism Is For Everybody
Panel, which will be on Mar: 19,
2003,Sfid the host of the panel will
??
be Dr. Maribel Garcia, professor
of Women's Studies, along with
guest lecturer, Professor Denise
MacNeil. Dr Garcia stated,
"This student panel is intended
to answer the question, 'What is
feminism?' by addressing critical
issues ranging from feminism,
welfare reform to feminism, and
the Father's Right's debate. The
objective is to both educate and
empower young men and women
by discussing contemporary
issues of race and gender. It will
address the importance of our
role as women and men in today's
society by introducing the audience to women's studies."

Conference that was held on Mar.
7. Jennings commented, "Most of
our students, who have grown up
in the 1980s and 1990s, and know
the women's rights movement as a
part of history; they weren't there
to experience it. But they, both
men and women, are also products of that history, of all the hard
work, sacrifice, and commitment
it has taken to empower women
and move closer to equality." The
Women's Leadership Conference
was geared to help low-income,
disadvantaged female adolescents

women, rolling in their seats.
One of the show's highlights
was when a student from the
crowd, junior liberal studies student Nimitz Bagtas, volunteered
to be a part of the Guerrilla Girl's
grand finale. He was to dress up
as a woman, donning a skirt and
pink ribbon tiara. Hamming it
up for the crowd, Nimitz asked
ARTS
Another show highlight that
received a round of applause
was when junior communication
major Honee Folk stood up to say
she did not realize how underrepresented women were in the art
realm and that she could identify being a black woman. She
said she really appreciated the
Guerrilla Girls for bringing that
to her attention. Folk also said
that there's a significant chance
for the women at Cal State San
Marcos to be underrepresented
with the ASI Elections coming
up. Though the ratio of women
to men at San Marcos is 60 to
40, only three women are running in the elections, so there
is great potential for the student
government representatives to
be all male. One of the Guerrilla Girls asked her if she was
running and just as Folk replied
with a "yes!" the crowd broke
out into applause, whistles and
"Women's History Month is a
time to celebrate women and
their accomplishments. Women
have always made a difference
and significance in our society,
along with men, but have never
been acknowledged due to being
a woman, in our male dominant
society." Women from Cal State
San Marcos (CSUSM) will share
their experiences, knowledge,
and adversities from all lines
of work. From women artists,
authors, elected officials, scholars, CSUSM, and community
women from all over - will reveal
their experiences of what being a
woman in our society today has
meant to themselves and to fellow
Linda Pershing, director and women.
professor of CSUSM's Women's Studies program stated,
A whole series of events, performances, panels, and workshops
are entailed for this very, big
event of Women's History Month
at CSUSM. Women's suppression,
subordination, achievements, and
accomplishments of the past and
present are going to finally be
recognized. The contributions of
women have been overlooked for
so long from a historical point
of view. Women are still struggling to find themselves, fighting
for equality, genderism, racism,
sexism, and not finding total
equality, but equitability in our
patriarchal society.
shout outs.
The show closed with questions from the audience. "How
many Guerrilla's are there and
does the group consist of many
ethnicities?" asked a member of
the audience. One of the Guerrilla Girls replied that there are
many women of different ethnic
groups, different sexual orientations. Another response from
the Guerrilla Girls regarding
their diversity was that "some of
us want a piece of the pie, some
of us want to blow up the whole
system." They were questioned

�Klezmer Music Alive At CSUSM

that wasfilledwith the emotional

style of music known as klezmer.

Jewish migration into Eastern
Europe. The Jewish religion
forbade playing music except on
holidays or at weddings, and only
acapella singing was permitted
in the Temple. Klezmorim, the
musicians who played klezmer
music, were often traveling
musicians. The rising popularity
of klezmer music reflects the
increased interest in many ethnic
types of instrumental music,
including folk music, African,
and Celtic styles.

Goldberg and Gunnar Biggs on
double bass played a duet, "Tender
Shepherd," which Goldberg
dedicated to her daughter and the
spirit of her father. The musicians
faced each other and played as if
they were having a conversation,
one instrument speaking, then
the other responding. The
contrapuntal effect of the two
lines of music moved the piece
forward, and kept the audience
involved.
All the musicians were on
stage for the two final pieces of
klezmer music. The first was a
traditional wedding piece, often
played as an improvisation.
Imara and Goldberg played the
sax, each taking turns making
their instruments cry and wail,
perhaps mimicking the mother of
the bride. The musicians laughed
as they enjoyed the improv, and
the audience began to clap in time
to the music. "Broiges Tanz," or
The Dance of the In-Laws, was
thefinalpiece.
This group of musicians clearly
enjoyed playing together as much
as the audience enjoyed listening
to them. The hour passed too
quickly, and then the audience
was on its feet clapping and
whistling in appreciation for an
all-too-short evening of klezmer.
�THE PRIDE
Dear Editors,
Regarding Jamal Scarlett's Feb.
18 article, there is no doubt in my
mind that there is a liberal bias at
Cal State San Marcos. The faculty
being liberal is a small problem. The
big problem that I have is the fact
that the Cal State system is liberal in
general, and tends to tilt towards the
left. Here is what I mean.
1) The majority of the Cal State
Schools have done something I find
to be unpatriotic, especially during
this period in which the U.S is getting
ready to defend and preserve freedom around the world. We no longer
celebrate the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln and George Washington on
President's day, or Columbus Day,
to name just a few. Those holidays
have been moved to December, a
month during which school is out
for three of the four weeks. Instead,
we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.
. Day, and Caesar Chavez' birthday. I
find that an insult to our founding
fathers. Lincoln and Washington are
two importantfiguresin our history.
To me it sounds like the liberals that
made this decision are trying to be
"Politically Correct," and not offend
anyone, that is unless they are 'Dead
White Guys'. People have often
accused liberals of being Un-American, well this is just one example to
show that the facts are there.
2) Inviting a leftist liberal like
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes
Norton to speak at our school, with
no balance of inviting someone
on the other side of the political
spectrum shows liberal bias. Where
were Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly,
Michael Savage, Pat Buchanan, and
Bernard Goldberg when they were
doing their book tours? Not here.
I can go on and on, but I am sure that
we all get the point by now.
