Cal. State prepares for the twenty-first century
B Y JENIFER JAFFE
"V" T"ith the approach of the new mil
% / % / lennium, the CSU system has
T T been r ethinking its c urrent
method of delivering adequate technology
to students and faculty.
The CSU System wide Internal Partnership (SIP) has recently selected Team GTE
as a business partner in an effort to improve
its information technology infrastructure:
Team GTE, also known as California Education Technology Initiative Corporation
(CETI), consists of GTE, Fujitsu, Hughes,
and Microsoft corporations.
The proposed CETI plan points out that
because of today's rapidly changing technology, the CSU system can no longer count
on irregular sources of money including
grants, gifts and "entrepreneurial-efforts"
to keep technology current.
Richard Karas, CSUSM's vice president
of Academic Affairs, said the plan would
enable the CSU system "to provide a higher
level of technology." He added that it will
bring technology of all the CSU campuses
up to a reasonable level.
CSUSM's executive director of Computers and T elecommunications, Norm
Nicolson, said it will "benefit students enormously" through a better infrastructure,
higher-speed access within the computer
labs arid a better variety of dial-up access
off campus.
With the implementation of CETI,
Nicolson also anticipates more innovative

Smokeout," could be the day for some students if CSUSM's Health Services has its
way. Its staff is doing its best to raise student awareness that, as the American Cancer Society puts it, "Smoking WILL kill
you; it's just a matter of how."
Student smokers confess that they know
the risks, yet a number continue to smoke.

quit smoking, I would do it."
What kind* of program would she like
best? "I prefer hypnotism," she answered.
Each of 10 CSUSM student smokers, six
women and four men, said they, too, would
like to quit. They had several rationalizations for why they continue to smoke,
mainly "It's relaxing" and "I'm worried
about gaining weight." Several said Nov.
20 was just another day to them.
"It takes more than a day of propaganda
to help someone quit smoking," said
Mark, a junior majoring in computer science. "They have to want to quit, and then
really do it. There is no halfway point."
But, he agreed, the day at least helps promote awareness of the dangers of smoking.
According to the American Lung Association, the American Cancer Society, and
the World Health Organization, 390,000
Americans die each year from the effects
of smoking. Tobacco use now causes 3 million deaths a year worldwide. Half a billion people now alive will be killed due to
tobacco use.
Citing statistics showing that worldwide
sales of cigarettes reached 295.8 billion last
year, the World Health Organization calls
tobacco use "a global epidemic."
CSUSM student smokers tended to rationalize these numbers. "We're all going to
die somehow," said Mark. "I know I
shouldn't smoke, but I don't want to quit
right now."
Four of the other nine smokers interviewed shared that attitude.
But some students have managed to kick
the habit recently. Pam, a 34-year-old
CSUSM student, said she began smoking
while working as a waitress. "It was the
sociable thing to do," she said. "It seemed
like everyone was really enjoying it."
She added that she, too, enjoyed the habit,
though it was expensive and she hated the
way her sister would that she "reeked of
smoke."
So why did she quit? "Because it was
impossible to tell my son not to smoke when
interest of the students, just for the university and the companies."
He added that he fears CSUSM students
ultimately will have to pay for many services they are currently receiving for free.
But both Karas and Nicolson said they don't
anticipate such a development. Students
will only pay for services above what they
are currently getting, Karas said.
While students currently are rationed in
their Internet access, under CETI they will
have the option to purchase additional
amounts at a discounted student rate, Karas
said. The proposed, fee-based career counseling will provide extra help, he added.
The percentage of revenue generated for
the CSU system is being negotiated,
Nicholson said. Karas said he anticipates
it would be "in the high tens of millions of
dollars per year."
Ramos said he hoped the money generated would go for improvements on campus, such as more buildings, a parking
structure and a better library. "There is a
lpt we could do with the money, but it's still
coming out of the students'pockety'* he
added. "The university is getting the break."
Ramos said he also was concerned about
the trend at CSUSM to contract services out,
pointing to the pay-per-print deal with
IKON. Under the contract, students must
now pay 15 cents to print each page. Of
that, the university only receives a one and
a half cents per page.
I still did," she said, adding that it was a
powerful motive. "When you smoke, it's
like second-nature. You don't even realize
you're doing it," she said. "It's hard to recognize the danger of something that is so
ingrained in you."
Pam said she used an older, but dependable method for quitting. First, she switched
brands to one she didn't like. Then, gradually, she cut back in number of the cigarettes. To avoid triggering her urge to
smoke, she did her best to avoid frequenting the places and company where she
would be most tempted to light up.
Finally, she threw away all her cigarettes,
ashtrays and lighters, and had her teeth
cleaned to get the tobacco stains off and
provide further motivation.
To take the place of smoking, she found
a new habit: She squeezed a rubber ball
every time she wanted a cigarette. Sometimes, she said, she'd have to just take a
walk AND squeeze the ball because she
wanted a cigarette so badly.
According to "Quitting Times" magazine,
Pam did everything right. She developed a

you'll be free from the mess, smell, inconvenience, expense and dependence of cigarette smoking."
When your body is dependent on nicotine, you feel more relaxed, health experts
say. It's like using coffee to wake up. But,
ironically, nicotine is a stimulant: It increases
your levels of nervousness, but the action
of smoking helps calm you down.
The experts also say that it would take a
weight gain of more than 60 pounds to offset the benefit from being smoke-free.
CSUSM Health Service officials say they
are developing a program to help students
quit and it could be ready by next semester.
In the meantime, if you need help, several
organizations have such programs, including the local American Red Cross (phone:
619-291-2620), the National Cancer Institute,
(1-800-4-CANCER) and the American Cancer Society (1-800-ACS-2345). Each of those

Building, may be a welcome sight.
It offers a variety of items that are ideal for a meal on the run, including pretzels, chips,
a variety of hot dogs (the College Dog, the Smart Dog and the Studious Dog, for example) and Italian sausages.
For $1.10, you can get a deliciously soft pretzel. The highest priced item on the menu
is the Italian sausage ($3.25) and a number of students said it is well worth the price.
The snack cart is owned and operated by Premier Espresso Company. Mike Reid, coowner of the company, said it was set up at the request of the school. He hopes to add a
more items to the menu soon.
"This is so convenient, and the price is right," said literature major Dawn Knepper.
Added Frances Bernal, another literature major: "It's very hard to get to the Dome between classes, so this is a great idea."
Reid said completion of the new international building should attract even more vendors to Founders Plaza.

importantly, it's not laughing at me. I attribute some of this to my teacher's weird
sense of humor, which he incorporates into
his teaching.
Best of all, he uses language I understand:
"This is really stupid." "Doesn't this seem
ridiculous?" "This is kind of dumb."
"There's five times too much garbage here."
Yes! A math teacher with a sense of humor!
In addition to the colorful language, this
teacher gives us about five or six examples
on the topics of the night. He makes it look

times that it sinks in, even though the class

Life celebrated on Day of the Dead
B Y JOHN M . RODRIGUEZ
M
y grandmother doted on my sisters and I when we were children. On Hallow
een, over the protests of my then teen-aged uncle and aunt, she would empty
her candy dish into our trick-or-treat sacks. During Christmas, she would put
up a cardboard fireplace in her tiny house so we could hang our stockings.
It has been more than 30 years since she died, but I shared these memories of her before
lighting a votive candle and placing a marigold on an altar in her honor during Day of
the Dead festivities last week on campus.
Contrary to its somber name, Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a celebration of
life and remembrance that takes place throughout Latin America. It is actually a two-day
event, according to Linda Amador who helped coordinate the campus event. Nov. 1
honors children who have died, while Nov.
2, commemorates the adults. Since both days landed on a weekend this year, the altar
display and presentation were held Nov. 3 at CSUSM for the benefit of students who
wished to participate.
The elaborate altars were sponsored by individuals and campus organizations, including Counseling and Psychological Services. Two altars were available for students who
wished to commemorate a loved one. Each reflected the characteristics and personality of
the deceased honoree.
The traditional altar built by Amador for her grandmother contains many of the items
found on most Day of the Dead altars. The votive candles, flowers, images of the Virgin
of Guadalupe, candies, and pan dulce (sweet bread) are typical. Amador personalized
hers with cooked bowls of rice and beans and kitchen implements to emphasize her
grandmother's love of cooking. Additional items, including a rosary, bible, mantilla (veil),
a childhood doll and Photographs, completed the display.
In some cases, groups of people were remembered. For instance, the altar sponsored by
Carlos von Son's Spanish 250 class memorializes the roughly 1,200 illegal immigrants
who died while crossing the border over the last four years. It also depicted a diorama of
the desert with tiny cacti and sugar skulls with a border edge of flattened tin.
The desert represented the dangerous border badlands most immigrants must cross
while the skulls commemorated the victims, according to student Veronica Munoz who
was instrumental in developing the altar. She added that the flattened tin border represented the metal border fence running between the United States and Mexico. A bowl
with burning copal combined with flowers was used to simulate the odor of burning
bones.
Atfirstglance, the altar constructed by Career Assessment office manager Lily Martinez
Gonzalez and her husband, Psychology professor Gerardo M. Gonzalez, to remember
Chicano activist Cesar Chavez seemed almost political in nature with its prominent United

Farm Workers emblems and photos. But the
connection between the Gonzalezes and the
late UFW leader is a very personal one.
The couple first met Chavez during the
early '80s when both were students at
Fresno State. Lily Gonzalez recalls with
great warmth the personality of a man who
gave entirely of himself to his cause and
his people, but always found time to listen
to his volunteers.
"The thing that I remember most about
Cesar Chavez is that he once told me that
if you were consistent and had integrity,
those were the things that were really important. He recognized people no matter
who they were.,,,, she said.
Chavez, who often shunned politicians
and businessmen, would always find time
to speak with farm workers, university students and children, she added.
The couple's tribute to Chavez included
elements of the UFW, but also items revealing the personal side of the man. For instance, the myriad of vegetables revealed
the vegetarian diet of a man who struggled
with the tempting meat dishes of his native
land.
Day of the Dead altars were not restricted
to Latino themes. Many other cultures also
view death as cyclical of life, so the adoption of Dia de los Muertos became a natural crossover for other campus groups.
Psychology professor Carlene Smith prepared an altar commemorating the African
slaves who either died en-route to America
or on plantations. "We don't just set aside
one day for the dead," she said. "It's an
everyday occurrence in African culture."
Professor Smith combined traditional
African items such as masks, clothing,
gourds, musical instruments, books on African culture and illustrations of slave
scenes to complete her altar.
The essence of celebrating Day of the
Dead is to remember something special
about a deceased loved one, and then share
that memory with someone, according to
Amador. She encouraged the gathering to
place lighted candles and marigolds on the
altar.
Following her presentation, von Son read
a poem he wrote for the event in Spanish
followed by an English translation. Liberal
Arts professor Bonnie L. Baden concluded
the festivities with a slide presentation on
Mexican tradition regarding Dia de los
Muertos.

Directed by Gary Fleder

If you like movies that are
tense and edgy with a little of the
macabre and a lot of deduction
work, "Kiss the Girls" is for you.
It's a new thriller starring
Morgan Freeman ("Glory," "Outbreak," "The Shawshank Redemption"), who plays a forensic psychologist hot on the trail of a serial
kidnapper/murderer.
The movie's villain, whose
face is never shown, is a kidnaper

killing is not his main motive. All of
his victims are young, attractive

virtuoso, another an aspiring

Many people believe that a band
requires unique sounds, original personality and lyrical savvy to achieve individuality.
Though the sound of The Freddy
Jones Band's new set album, "Lucid," is
clear and produced well, the music elicits
little in the way of emotional sensations.
Why listen to the monotony of
another generic group? Echoing original
sounds such as Toad the Wet Sprocket,
Dave Matthew's Band and even Pearl
Jam, The Freddy Jones Band lacks personal style.
"Woke up on the wrong side of
my self this morning/wish I could have
stayed in bed..." should have been the
songwriter's intent, for he may have
dreamt of a sound solely belonging to
him. But the mimic of his music prevails
only in the initial impression and is
quickly lost.
The album's melodies are boring
and its instrumental talent is lacking,
allowing lots of time to reflect on truer
talents such as the bands listed previously.
"Mystic Buzz" is the only song
worth listening to more than once, but
that's because of its similarity to Toad the
Wet Sprocket's "Walk on the Ocean."
These guys make an effort, four
albums now, but the pop-rock sounds do
not enlighten the ears or intrigue the soul,
so why bother listening? It's studio stuff,

With finals week looming in
the near distance, the return of
Relay for Life this past weekend to CSUSM offered students
a last chance to campaign for a
cause with their peers before
breaking for the summer
months ahead. On May ! , students joined hundreds of their
fellow community members for
a 24-hour long walkathon on
Mangrum Field with the sole
aim of raising awareness for
cancer related issues.
Participants in Relay for
Life formed teams that were
responsible for seeking donations and keeping at least one
member walking the track at
all times. The event was just
one of many events like it to
take place across the nation.
The 55 teams that registered
for the event comprised a broad
spectrum of interests, bringing
together CSUSM student organizations, community groups,
local businesses, families, and
interested individuals from
nearby neighborhoods for a
single cause.
Though all teams were
involved in fundraising efforts,
members of The Defending
Circle distinguished themselves from the rest by raising

The secret o f life
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
For three years I
have enjoyed writing
this opinion column.
In this, my final
piece, I want to share
what I learned from
writing and living
because I have figured out the secret of life and
the point of our existence.
I have heard the question of
our existence asked in books,
movies, songs, and daily life. I
think I figured out the answer
to this divine question. The
secret to a happy and whole
life is love.
This might sound like a
cheesy or naive answer, but
I think I need to spell it out
because so many people are
missing it. A human being has
roughly 70 to 80 years to live,
and that is all.
Aware of my mortality, I try
not to waste any of the time
I have. I direct my effort to
doing what I like. Going to
school might not be the funnest thing, but it is only as bad
as you make it. It is tough now,
but I am excited for the job I
will have once I finish.
At my part time job now,
sometimes it feels like I'm
watching the clock counting
down the hours until
I can go home. This
is counter productive though, because
I am just counting
down the hours of
my life, which are
limited.
This is where love
comes in. I focus on
the good parts of my
job and make the most out of

every shift. If you cannot find
some pleasure in your job,
quit. There is no point to wasting your time on something
you do not like, even for a paycheck.
In the end, it does not matter
how much money you have,
because whether you believe
in heaven or not, you cannot
take your earnings with you.
Spend as much time with your
family and friends and I promise you will be happier.
It is a simple answer, but it
is the best one I have found.
Capitalism,
consumerism,
and petty differences distract
people from this truth. The
Beatles had it right decades
ago. All you need is love.
Follow that, and anything else
that matters will come with
you.

Campus computers c hanging t o W indows 7
New Microsoft O S for fall 2 0 1 0
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
Computers on campus will change
from using Windows Vista to Windows
7 by fell 2010.The change will start in
the summer with next year's faculty and
s taff's systems with all instructor stations and lab computers switched over
by fall.
Windows 7 will grant quicker access
t o. files, allow users to manage open
windows easier and connect to wireless networks better. System sleep and
resume is faster as well as a longer battery life and improved security, according to Instructional & Information
Technology Seryices (IITS). For more
information on Windows 7 and how to
use it, visit http://www.csusm.edu/iits/
support/win7/.
IITS has tested Windows 7 with all the
applications that the campus uses. Some
faculty and staff are currently testing
Windows 7 to give more feedback in
order to make sure the system is reliable
for the whole campus to use.
CSUSM switched from Windows XP
to Windows Vista last year due to the
declining support from Microsoft for
XP. By moving to Windows Vista, IITS
was able to test whether the transition to
Windows 7 was achievable.
IITS has said that the Windows 7 user
interface will be intuitive and easy to use
as it is very similar to Windows Vista.

G oodbye America
Experiences of Studying Abroad
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
Coming to America is something that
I think most people outside of this country dream of doing one day and for most
people they can only spend around two
weeks here. I have been fortunate enough
to live in Southern California for a full
academic year and this has been an amazing experience. Over the course of the year
I have noticed many differences, many
similarities, taught people a few things
about the UK and learnt a lot about America as well.
Unless someone comes here, it is hard to
imagine how spread out and big everything
is out here, America could fit the UK in its
back pocket and carry it around. The reliance on a car is a major aspect of living here
that I noticed; in the UK, people can just
about get away with not having a car due
to the public transport system. In the US,
the public transport system is not as developed and structured, which makes the car a
necessity to get anywhere. I have felt limited sometimes with the lack of access to a
car but many people have driven me places
over the year, which I appreciate.
I think Americans and British people
will always have some sort of connection,
because of our history together and through
the language we speak, to only mention two
examples. I have yet to hear a good fake
British accent while I have been out here
and believe me I've heard many attempts at
it. I still believe that we are not supposed
to do each other's accents, I can't do an
American accent and many people have
convinced me to try and do so. Studying
abroad makes you feel unique, there is only
one other British person here at CSUSM
and it is nice to think that other people find
where you come from interesting. Many
people have asked me all about the UK,
from the place itself to the people and I have
enjoyed answering those questions.
It took me a while to adapt to the different style of education here, there is a lot
more work to do over here I think. There
is a constant amount of work as the semesters are so short whereas in England, the
course spreads itself out over the year and
for me personally there were less little
assignments to do every week. I found it
strange the system used here to apply for
classes, the waiting for the registration
date to come and the stress of hoping the
classes don't fill up and I have only done a
year here. I do not think group work should
be done on this campus, people have too
many different schedules and live far away
from each other and also have jobs as well.
If a group is given class time to complete
an assignment or each member can individually work on a part at home then it can
be done but I don't think it should be done
here. The quality of education has been
high from my point of view, especially
since the teachers have had to deal with
wholefiascowith the furlough days.
I have met some great people while I
have been out here, many people that I will
remain in contact with for a long time to
come. One of the great things about studying abroad is I have developed connections
and that will allow me to come back here
many more times. Although I am looking
forward to going back home and seeing
my family and friends, I will definitely
miss this place, the experience, the people
and the place are something I will never
forget. If there is one thing anyone reading
this article should take away it is to try and
study abroad somewhere because it will
literally change your life for the better.
Goodbye America and thanks for having
me.

G oodbye from the Business M anager
BY KRISHNA LAWLER MARTINEZ
Business Manager
Well California State University San
Marcos, the time has come for me to say
goodbye and with that I must say goodbye
to The Pride Student Newspaper as well.
After two years as your Business Manager, it is time for me t o pass the torch on
to someone else (still looking for someone to take that honor). It really has been
an amazing experience and I can't tell
you how much real world experience it
has given me, not to mention I've gotten
to know some really great people that I
would have otherwise probably never met
since they are outside my major. Shamelessly promoting? Yes. But it's all true.
It seems like it took me forever to get
to this point, six years, a major change,
transfers from two community colleges,
moving, a last name change (thanks
Rudy), and over 200 credits later, I've
arrived. Graduation is less than two
weeks away and then I am moving on
into the unknown. It took me six years
to graduate, even with college credits before I started thanks to AP exams,
going to school full-time (12 units), and
never having to retake a course. My
point for sharing this with you all? To
not allow yourselves to get discouraged
from reaching your goal, no matter the
path or how long it takes you to get there.
I can't even begin to put into the words
the joy that I feel and how great it feels
to be the first one in my family to graduate from college. The truth is that when I
started at California State University San
Marcos back in Fall of 2007,1 was a bit
overwhelmed by the amount of "catching
up" I had to do since I changed my major
to Business. I remember thinking, "Wow,
another three years of college. Am I ever
going to graduate?" But now, looking
back I am glad that I was able to spend
three years here. Not only did I make
some really great friends, but I also got
to know many faculty and staff (thanks
to Starbucks), and I have learned far more
than I could have dreamed (thanks to my
amazing professors). So enjoy your time
here, because in aflashyou will be sitting
here in this same place about to graduate
and reminiscing of your time spent here.
My first advice? Get involved. I know
it is cliché and you hear it a lot from
the moment you step foot in orientation
(thanks to O-team), but it really does
make the experience you have here. An
added bonus? You will get to know some
pretty amazing people along the way
and with so many different ways to get
involved there really is no excuse not to.
My second advice? Find a mentor.
It really makes all the difference in the
world to have someone to talk to and give
you advice, especially when that person
is someone you admire and respect.
Third advice? Write at least one article
for The Pride Student Newspaper. Even
if it is just an opinion piece about something you are passionate about. It feels
good to see your name attached to a piece
of published work.
Fourth advice? If you have room for it
in your schedule, take
a class to learn something you have always
wanted to learn. It's
very rewarding when
you finally are able to
do something that you
maybe thought you
would never be able to
do. For me, it was Photoshop.
Fifth advice? Every
day I read a quote that
hangs on my wall by
Sally Hass, "Dream
Big. Work Hard. Smile
Often. And Good
Things will Happen."
The truth is, college
is not designed to be
easy. If you shortcut
your classes, in the end
you are only shortcutting yourself.
Last but not least...
find some time for
mental breaks. For me,
it was my Disneyland
Annual Pass and my
favorite TV shows.
They are essential in
keeping yourself from becoming overwhelmed or burned out.
Without my grandparents, my boyfriend turned fiancé turned husband Rudy
(who will walk by my side at Graduation),
my best friend Jackie, my professors,
and my faculty mentor, I might not have
Photo by Mari Hinojosa
reached this point with as much success
as I have. Thank you, I will be eternally
grateful for the rest of my life.
To the rest of you, I wish you the best of
luck in your future endeavors and I leave
you with one last thought.. ."Life is made
up of moments, thank you for being a part
of mine." Class of 2010, we did it.
G oodbye from the Layout Editor
BY RUDY MARTINEZ
Layout Editor
"Two f ish are in a t ank, one t urns to
the other and says 'how do you drive
this t hing?'" I 've been in college for
the better p art of a decade. I 've been
through six d ifferent j obs, three degree
changes, moved three d ifferent places,
obtained an AAS in Psychology, and
re-met the woman who would end up my
wife (who knew?). Last semester alone
I took 18 u nits, worked two j obs, and
helped plan my wedding. This semester
my team and I have worked tirelessly on
our Senior Experience project, which
consumed my l ife, on top of classes and
work. However, without the help and
support of some awesome people that
I have surrounded myself with, I probably would never have been able to get
through it all.
The time has come for me to say "so
long and thanks for all the sleepless
nights CSUSM." It may be cliché to
say that I thought the day would never
come. But now graduation is slapping
me in the face, and I cannot wait. If I
had the opportunity to do it all over
again at ^ different university, I would
respectfully decline. Cai State San
Marcos has some of the best professors
I 've had the pleasure of learning from.
I can honestly say that my stay here at
CSUSM has f ully prepared me to enter
the "real world," and I don't mean the
horrible show on MTV. From the job
experience I've gained f rom working in
IITS to the Career Development class
taught by David Bennett, I feel confident in taking the leap f rom student to
professional.
My advice, f ind your passion and
stick with it. It doesn't feel like a job if
you love what you're doing. I can honestly say that I love both my jobs that I
have had here on campus. I was lucky
enough to hear several top executives
speak in the In The Executives Chair
course, most of which talked about
how they are passionate about their
job. Networking is also very important, with the help of my wife, K ristina,
she helped me get my j ob in IITS. Her
best f riend, Jackie Carbajal, who was
the prior Editor-in-Chief, was a writer
when she referred me to help out with
the layout. Today, who you know plays
j ust as important of a role as what you
know.
It may have been a long road, but the
experiences that I have gained f rom it
are priceless. Without my wife Kristina, my peers, faculty, s taff, and everyone who has helped me along the way,
I could not have made it through without the support of everyone, and I thank
each and every one of you.

W omen's Golf in fourth after round one at conference championships
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Competing to strengthen
its bid for a spot in the NAIA
National Championships, the
# ll-ranked Cougar women's
golf team got off to a good start
at the Conference Championships Monday, and is in fourth
place after .round one.
Playing on Primm Valley
Golf course in Primm, NV, the
Cougars are up against some of
the best in the NAIA. Along
with fellow Association of
Independent Institutions (A.I.I.)
powerhouses #3 University of
British Columbia and #13 University of Victoria, the 11-team
grouping also includes #4 Cal
Baptist from the Golden State
Athletic Conference (GSAC)
and #5 Concordia UniversityOregon from the Cascade Conference.
After one of two rounds,
CSUSM is solidly in the mix
with a team score of 308. Cal
Baptist leads at 294, British
Columbia is in second at 301,
and Concordia (OR) is in third
at 305. Victoria is in f ifth, four
shots behind CSUSM at 312.
Individually, Ellyse Siu shot
a fantastic even-par 72 for the
Cougars, and Roxanne Mejia
wasn't far behind at +1 (73).
Linnel DeVilla shot a 79, and
Megan Pechner and Stephanie
Cole both shot 84.
Despite just one automatic
bid available for this packed
region, CSUSM Head Coach
Fred Hanover is optimistic
about his team's chances to
continue its season. "I feel
good about our chances for
Nationals," he said following
Monday's round.
The tournament will conclude with the second and final
round on Tuesday.

C omedie d irector D anny Leiner p ays a visit
Tells students the w ays of the media industry
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
Acclaimed comedic director, Danny Leiner, gave students a peek into the media
i ndustry when he took over
P rofessor Jonathan B erman's
mass media class last Tuesday.
Danny Leiner, most recognized for d irecting comedy
f ilms such as Dude, Where's
My Car? (2000) and Harold
and Kumar Go to White Castle
(2004) as well as directing
episodes of Felicity, Sopranos
and the series Arrested Development.
X iener's gave the students
an i nsightful straightforward
look into the media business,
while also entertaining his
audience.
"I wanted to see how he
found his way through the
media business, and to learn
about directing f ilms," said
student Nicholas Espinoza.
The lecture started with a
presentation of a clip from
Leiner's work, Harold and
Kumar Go to White Castle, a
scene where Kumar experiences a dream sequence with
a bag of Marijuana, that then
becomes his g irlfriend. This
scene opened up questions
about storyboarding, a f rameby-frame depiction of what the
director will shoot.
"That sequence I did not
storyboard, I t ry to save the
story boarding for complicated action sequences," said
Leiner, but he also conveyed
to the students how helpful
storyboards can be when on
location.
The next presentation was
of several commercials, which
included clips of the popular Free Credit Report.com
musical commercials and the
Jack Links Jerky commercials
about messing with Sasquatch.
These commercials by Leiner
display his comedic talents in
different mediums of media.
Leiner went on to state that
throwing a lot of money into a
project helps develop and tell
stories, especially concerning
commercials he continued to
explain that a lack of money
restricts the ability to formulate stories ideas into action.
Inspired student, Espinoza
was impressed on how Leiner
could easily add humor to
everyday living. "How he
f inds a way to make a simple
idea into something hilarious
and funny."
Since this portion of the
industry is so popular, Leiner
went into great detail about
how the industry is supper
competitive, and how a director must create opportunity
for themselves.
While discussing his transition from movies to commercials and sitcoms,
Leiner commented on how
changing to d ifferent media's
allows him to stay artistically
f resh.
When doing an episode
for Sopranos, he articulated
the intricacies involved in
expressing a director's style
while still honoring the specifics already put into place.
"I always hope that a little
of my style comes through,
I keep within the frame, but
then visually bring in something a little comedy wise,"
said Leiner.
In a scene from Dude,
Where's My Car? the main
characters played by Ashton
Kutcher, and Seann William
Scott discover that they both
got tattoos a fter drinking
heavily the night before was
presented to show Leiner's
comedic delivery.

The scene goes back and
forth between the characters
repeating most of the same
words, "dude" and "sweet."
Leiner expressed how scenes
like these are d ifficult to execute, but to insure success he
takes a lot of takes and is very
involved in the editing process
because he believes "comedies
live or die in editing."
Liener revealed a sneak peek
of his most recent work movie
"Backwash," written by and
staring Josh Malina.
The movie follows the journey of three oddball losers
in an ice cream truck in the
format of a thirteen web episodes.

Director Christopher Nolan's last

It was called "The Dark Knight,"

appears to be a return to the style he
executed in his earlier work, such as
"Memento."
July 23rd
Dinner for Schmucks
This comedy starring Steve
Carell and Paul Rudd will be this
summer's equivalent to "The

where his sadistic co-workers play
games with their guests.

The Other Guys
Though another buddy cop film,
"Cop Out,"floppedthis year, Will

duo a play a mismatched pair of
less-than-heroic cops who create
havoc when they take a chance to

The Expendables
The most important part of this
final summer action romp is the
cast. This film stars Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Steve
Austin, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren,
as well as Sylvester Stallone, who
wrote and directed it, so it should
not be hard to guess this is an all out
festival of guns and explosions.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Edgar Wright, director of "Shaun
ofthe Dead" and "Hot Fuzz," takes a
stab at adapting the "Scott Pilgrim"
graphic novel series. This film stars
Michael Cera, Chris Evans, and
Anna Kendrick, rather then Wright's
usual troupe, and the trailers make
thisfilmlook like a shcker version of
older "Batman" movies.
August 20th
The Switch
This date movie begins with a
wild premise. Jennifer Aniston
plays a woman whose best friend,
played by Jason Bateman, accidentally switches the sample for her
artificial insemination with some
of his own specimen. Seven years
later, they reunite and discover what
happened.

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

politicians bring up the fact that scientists
were concerned with global cooling in
the 1970s. According to some politicians,
global warming is just the new global cooling. Scientists today have yet to agree conclusively on how much greenhouse gases
contribute to global warming, though
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) reports with 100% confidence that global warming is occurring
and with 90% confidence that it is because
of human interference.
On Wednesday, April 18, in Kellogg Plaza, the Career Center will

for students to apply. Some of these
businesses include California Highway Patrol, Childcare Careers,

Pamela Wells, associate director
of the Career Center said that students should have their resumes on
hand to distribute. She advised students to dress nicely, though it does
not have to be in f ull fancy interview
attire. Businesses will be on hand to
attract students to careers and jobs.

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

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

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

Cal State Film Crew rolls out the red carpet to students
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
The Cal State Film Crew is a
relatively new club on campus.
Formed by Brandon Brown in
October 2006, the club focuses on
developing a network for students
interested in working in the film
industry. In addition to working
on smaller side projects, the Cal
State Film Crew is currently working on an original feature-length
production called "The Devil and
Ambrose Bierce."
"The basis of the club is that
cilstatef ¡Imcr e w.canij
C SFC
Images courtesy of Cal State Film Crew
it is a network of students that
are interested in film, not necessarily film majors," said Brown.
"It's a Catch-22 in the industry.
You basically have to work in the
industry to get a job in the industry. We have tried to create a network where you can just join the
club and you could show up and
participate." Brown said that Cal
State Film Crew is an opportunity
for students to become involved
with film on their own timeframe.
It also provides access to the technology available on campus. "You
really have access to create a highquality production value movie on
campus for literally no money,"
says Brown.
"Our main focus here is to
create projects that can be turned
into products," said Jason Raya,
founding member and producer of
"The Devil and Ambrose Bierce."
The film encompasses multiple
disciplines, explained Ryan, and
that Cal State Film Crew gives
students an opportunity to use the
skills they are learning—whether
it be in writing, visual performing
arts or even business—and apply
it to the film industry.
"It is interesting meeting people
that are actually devoted to the
Film Crew and actually want to
assist other students in making
quality productions," said business major and club member
Larry Cristia. Cristia made a fiveminute short film with Cal State
Film Crew for his "Elements of
Cinema" course which was also
entered into a short film contest at
a Las Vegas film festival.
"Cal State Film Crew is focused
on taking everything to the next
level," says member Chad Olson.
Olson also stars in the Film Crew's
"The Devil and Ambrose Bierce"
as Detective Jones.
"The Devil and Ambrose
Bierce" is an original screenplay
written by a student at UCSC, and
formatted by Brown. The movie is
a film noir that explores the nature
of good and evil within the context
of fiction and reality. The film is
directed by Brown, and produced
by Cristia and Raya. The part of
Ambrose Bierce is also played by
Raya. There are still many shoots
before the film is completed and
Cal State Film Crew is looking for
production assistants and extras.
The club will have something
available for Cal State San Marcos
student film festival on May 9—
whether it is the movie in its completion or a teaser trailer.
Tasha Sisson who plays Lady
Scratch in the film said that she
enjoys the opportunity to act in a
movie and how much the director
(Brown) really helps her get in the
frame of mind.
"Cal State Film Crew really

detective Jones in The Devil and
Ambrose Bierce.
gives students the opportunity to
try out doing things in a school setting," Olson says. The Film Crew
combines matriculated students
with outside industry professionals to maximize student experience as per their constitution.
Cal State San Marcos students
are encouraged to join the Film
Crew if they are interested in
learning more about the industry.

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

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

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

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

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

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

l o r ¿ ill t h e 2 0 -
with
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Images courtesy of Grassnote Records
On the road and gearing up for an eventful
year, Secondhand Serenade's main man,
John Vesely, tells all about the exciting
events he celebrated in 2006 as well as those
he looks forward to in the coming months.
With his current album, "Awake," available
now in stores nationwide, the newly signed
Glassnote/LG artist continues to set the bar
high and soar through the music world. In
recent years the once unsigned artist proved
the industry wrong with his refreshing DIY
fashion^ as his independently garnered
success still resonates in the hearts of his fans
and fuels his current tour. As the next chapter
for this emotional songster on Glassnote
Records begins to unfold, Vesely's raw talent
is setting the country ablaze in gorgeously
crafted songs.
S e c o n d h a n d S erenade
With a sound almost reminiscent of
Dashboard Confessional with a smattering of
All American Rejects, it is hard to pinpoint
just exactly what Secondhand Serenade
sounds like, as the cookie-cutter covered
airwaves continue to dictate an artist's sound
and success these days. Readily apparent to
anyone who gives "Awake" a listen, Vesely's
heart, passion, and talent drip endjessly out
of each song, making the album timeless and
intimate. In addition to being recently named
MTV's "Discover and Download Artist," the
new video for Secondhand Serenade's hit
single, "Vulnerable," will premier on Fuse's
"Oven Fresh" this week.
The Pride: So a lot has happenedfor you in
the past year—
Vesely: A whole lot. My album took off in
the last year in a very independent way. Lots
of kids started getting into it, and that led to
a lot of opportunities, including finding my
current record label, [and] getting together
with a great video director. I'm already
getting started on the next album now, and
I'm actually on my way up to Seattle now to
play a show. I'm in the middle of a tour.
The Pride: How's the tour going for you so
far?
Vesely: The tour is actually going really
well. I'm really happy with the turnout at
the shows; there are so many kids coming
to support me every night; it's a really good
feeling to see them and hear them sing along.
And Monty Are I is like the coolest band
ever. I'm so happy to be touring with those
guys, and we are just having tons of fun.
The Pride: You've been extremely popular
on MySpace, being in the number one spot
multiple times. How has MySpace been
an effective toolfor you in your musical
career?
Vesely: MySpace really helps out on all
fronts. It really helped boost my album sales
before I even got signed, as well as it's really
supporting my tour right now. I'm having
several hundred kids come every night,
and it's really honestly my first tour, so the
turnout isn't from previous touring, it's from
MySpace. It's pretty amazing.
The Pride: Has signing with a label changed
your musical vision at all, or has it helped
it?
Vesely: Not at all—getting together with
a label, it's a means to an end. It's only a
vehicle, and the last thing I wanted was it to
effect what I did musically, and I mean,
of course it comes with the idea that you
have to think about more than just making
songs. You have to think about MTV, radio
play, retail, all these different elements
when you're writing, but the thing you have
to think about most of all even, is that all
that stuff doesn't even really matter when it
comes down to it, you know?
The Pride: Is the next album going to be
similar to the style of "Awake"?
Vesely: My songwriting has definitely
evolved and grown since I wrote "Awake."
[This] album is going to be a little different;
it's going to have some full band stuff, some
piano, definitely lots of acoustic, and it's
going to be more interesting. There [are]
more elements of orchestration involved.
The Pride: What can fans and newcomers
lookforward to in 2007?
Vesely: They can definitely look forward to
the new album coming out by the end of the
year. [And] to the video coming out, it's just
about to go up on Fuse, and we have it on
MTV downloads so that will be really coo},
and we have
some touring
p l a n n e d , j g H M ^ so they can
d efinitely ^ ^ K f S m look forward
to
me ^ I f ^ l m coming to see
them.

print version had the opportunity to provide a personal statement about the
AESSF as well. 31 students
chose to write their opinion
down, six participants writing a positive comment and
25 writing a negative one.
The survey results showed
that students were indifferent, unfamiliar with or
unhappy with the changes
made due to the AESSF.
When asked if they were familiar with what the AESSF
was, 57 students answered
yes, but only 24 of them
knew what it was used for.
56 of the 113 students stated that they had never even
heard the term before. When
they were asked if they were
in favor of the AESSF passbig, 11 students answered
yes, 23 said no, 14 chose
not to answer and 65 stated
that they were indifferent.
"The survey they provided
online for our feedback did
not allow you to say why
you would not want the fee.
It was skewed with only positives," one student wrote.
"Students are already
struggling to pay for school.
Now the university came up
with an attractive sounding
'politically correct' name for
another cost to make people have a positive feeling
about paying for school due
to it being named the 'student success' fee," another
student anonymously wrote.
Out of the 33 students that
knew changes had occurred
on campus, only 14 knew
what they were and had utilized them. Many of these
students cited that the only
thing they knew about the
AESSF was that it extend-
ed library hours, having
learned this from the posters
around campus advertising
them. 80 participants stated
that they were not aware
that any changes had taken
place. All of the students
that chose to write positive
responses cited the library
hours as a beneficial change.
"I like how the library is
open later hours though. We.
need to work towards 24/7
library hours," one student
anonymously
answered.
"I think it is a positive change for students
because it provides resources to be used for
longer periods of time," another proponent answered.
When asked if they felt
that the AESSF passed
without their input, 66 students answered yes, 10 said
no and 37 stated that they
were indifferent. Students
were then asked if they
had attended any of the forums about the AESSF last
spring. 76 students said that
they did not know about
them, 11 participants attended at least one forum,
17 participants were freshmen this year and 9 knew
about the forums b ut; were
nof interested in attending.
"Honestly, [the AESSF]
is a good idea. But people
are too broke to support it.
Most students are tired of
increasing fees and the university' should be sensitive
to that," one student wrote.
" I feel the library being
opened longer is beneficial
to a lot of students. Other
things the AESSF has supposedly helped pay for are
nice, but also another cost
among a bunch of other financial obligations facing
students in a tight economy," another student said.
Based on the results of
the survey, it is clear that
an overwhelming amount
of students are unaware of
where their money is going. While 11 participants
like the changes, 15 are
against them and 18 students
are indifferent. However,
69 students answered that
they wanted to know more.
While the AESSF has already passed, students are

CSUSM students celebrate the holidays in various ways
B Y E LIZABETH C RUZ
STAFF WRITER
Being a diverse campus, our students celebrate an array of holidays.
. A few students shared
how they celebrate the holiday season. Their's are just
a few stories in a variety of
traditions. Festive rituals
have evolved for this time
of year over history, yet
everyone's celebration practice is different. Creativity and community are the
hallmark of the season, no
matter what the practice.
"My partner and I live
across the country f rom our
family, so we have made it
a point not to follow the traditional norms any longer.
On Christmas Eve we have
dinner at a local Mexican
taco shop and on Christmas day we surf early in the
morning and then spend the
day outside writing out our
New Year's Resolutions.
No presents either! Christmas is about spending time
with others, not money,"
student Jessica Perry said.
Another student, Alejandra
Salome, goes out of the country to Mexico to visit family.
"For the holidays all of our
family meets up in Mexico
at my grandma's house. We
eat different types of Mexican dishes, we play and
dance along to music and the
children break pinatas pull
of goodies instead of opening presents," Salome said.
A student takes advantage of a
small space by filling it with a mini
Christmas tree by Sarah Hughes.
It is always good to know
in what ways other cultures
experience these end of year
celebrations, since they can
differ very much from our
own. Even among holidays,
there is the holiday that is
popularly perceived and the
day as people actually spend
it. Christmas especially, is divided between what it represents and how it's celebrated.
For some it is the perceived
meaning that they associate
with it, while for others Santa and tinsel come to mind.
Christmas is the most
popular way to celebrate
the holidays in our society.
Many of us know that it is
celebrated by remembering
the Christian Nativity, which
is the birth of Jesus Christ.
Jesus' birthday is celebrated
on Dec. 2 5, despite the fact
that his actual birthday is
unknown. It is thought to
have actually been some-
time in the spring time, but
this date was chosen in the
third century in an attempt to
Christianize end of the year
pagan festivities that were
already in place. According
to the Bible, the nativity is
set in Bethlehem in a manger
where Jesus was born because his parents Mary and
Joseph were unable to find
other accommodations. Jesus
is believed by Christians and
Catholics t o have been the
son of God, born in the flesh
to give' his life for humanity.
Christmas is also celebrated by mimicking Saint
Nicholas of Myra who lived
in fourth century Turkey.
There are many different accounts of his generosity but
as stated in stnicholascenter.
org, one legend says St.
Nicholas threw some gold
out of his window on three
different occasions down
to three peasant sisters who
were in danger of being sold
into slavery. The gold landed
in a stocking that was drying
on a fireplace. People heard
of St. Nicholas' generosity
and children began leaving
stockings by the fireplace in
hopes that he would come
by and give them gifts. He
later received his own Christian holiday on Dec. 6, the
anniversary of his death,
where people gave gifts to
one another in his remembrance. The Santa Clause

Browser battle
Google Chrome joins the arena at CSUSM
B Y SARAH H UGHES
N EWS EDITOR
You might have noticed this
semester how computers all
over campus, in classrooms,
the library and computer labs
now have Google Chrome,
in addition to other browsers.
When
picking
their
browser of choice, students
should care about which
one they use at school and
at home because of speed,
security and user friendliness, which can vary between browsers. The addition of Chrome on CSUSM
computers is intriguing.
Represented prominently
on the toolbar, Chrome depicts itself with a red, yellow and green circle with a
blue dot in the center. People have been excited for
its release since Sept. 2008,
which was originally for
Windows. The first stable
release was in Dec. 2008.
Chrome seems to be
on a mission to provide a
browser with speed, simplicity, security, privacy,
customization and signing in, as their "Explore the
Chrome Browser" portion
of their product info states.
They seem to have found
a market for themselves,
as Google has crossed over
into the mobile devices arena, with both phones and
browsers. With the advent
of the smartphone, computer
preferences seem to be less
presumed or pronounced.
New names besides Microsoft and Windows are
popular in the vernacular.
Perhaps Chrome will be
for CSUSM students now.
Google Chrome
on the campus
computers is featured on the desktop of the lilac's, by
Sarah Hughes.
"Chrome, is designed to
keep you safer and more
secure on the web with
built-in malware and phishing protection, auto-updates
to make sure you have all
the latest security fixes,
and more,"
Chrome's
Browser Features list said.
Mobile devices are still a
growing place, technologically speaking. Many will
report smartphones with hiccups and browser content
problems ,*from a variety of
characters. Most can remember a time when they tried to
load a webpage on a supposed
smartphone, only to have it
fail or look unseemly. Many
web pages were created long
ago to work on non-mobile
PCs. Chrome seems to be
created to fill the space of a
need for compliance in the
realm of the mobile device.
Whether it is an adequate solution, seems to be up to debate. With students expressing complaints about campus
wifi, hopefully Chrome will
serve as a sufficient browser for when they log in.
Infosecurity Magazine (online) reported in July 2013
that "there is no single 'most
secure' browser, reports
comparing the major browsers' ability to catch phishing,
prevent socially engineered
malware and protect the us-
ers' privacy show that no one
browser stands above all others in protecting its users."
They then cite "NSS tests"
as showing no one browser
as better in all categories
tested. Infosecurity Magazine goes on to report the
"NSS tests" as giving the
following scores to browsers
in "average phishing URL
catch rate": Firefox version
19 - 96 percent, Safari - 95
percent, Chrome - 92 percent, Internet Explorer version 10 - 83 percent. Though
the browsers are relatively
close in security, this puts
Firefox at the top of the list,
Chrome in the middle and Internet Explorer at the bottom,
Yet a Oct. 2013 Analyst
Brief by Randy Abrams of
NSS Labs, Inc. states that
"Microsoft's Internet Explorer continues to provide
the best combination of malware and phishing protection. The application reputation technologies used by
browsers from both Microsoft and Google provide a
significantly safer browsing
experience than do browsers from Apple and Mozilla."
Perhaps the problem is
in the age of customization, many can't agree on
what's
most
important
to them in their browser and computer needs.
Farmers Market's are well known for the produce, flowers, honey and unique products sold to consumers that often cannot easily be found elsewhere. CSUSM offered a Farmers Market on campus but what has,become of it?

New Farmers Market ordinances mean change?
How the new laws are a ffecting t he C SUSM tradition
B Y C HELSEY S CHWEITZER
& SARAH H UGHES
STAFF W RITER & N EWS EDITOR
New farmers' market ordinances have resulted in
more worry than change-.
The prospect of the new
Urban Agriculture Ordinance had many people
worried over what these
changes would bring.
Those who rely on farmers markets for the majority of their produce feared
that these changes to the
prdinance could result in
large changes to the farmers markets themselves.
When the changes were
approved and enacted, however, it became apparent that
these fears could be put to
rest. With the most current
update to the Urban Agriculture Ordinance, which
was put into effect in March
of last year, local farmers
are now allowed to "keep
chickens — but not roosters — two beehives and dehorned mini goats in their
backyards as long as they're
kept far enough away from
neighboring structures," as
summarized in an article on
the topic from KPBS News.
This has resulted in few
changes, however, other than
slightly increased business as
a result of legally being able
to raise chickens and goats.
Though this change seems
like a minor one to the markets
themselves, it has improved
upon the farmers' methods
and made great strides for
the local farming operations.
~ "Before the new changes in
the ordinances, we had a lot
of people that were interested in raising their own food,
having their own chickens,
bees, goats, [etc.]," the owner of City Farmers Nursery
in San Diego [Farmer] Bill
Tall said in an interview with
KPBS News. "They would
come in and get a few baby
chicks that we sold in order
to raise chickens in secret,
but we didn't sell feed and
feeders and all. Now people
are able to do it legally, with
certain parameters. Local
farming has really grown."
Both growing popularity of farmers markets and
their role in providing fresh
locally grown produce have
made them a feature for the
community. CSUSM's own
market provides a place for
people to relate to the university who might otherwise not. Students, staff and
non-students are welcome.
"The CSUSM Fanners
Market, sponsored by the
Farm Bureau of San Diego
County, will feature approximately 25 vendors every
week. Visitors,to the market
will have the opportunity to
select from a large variety
of fresh, locally produced,
healthful produce including San Diego grown fruit,
vegetables, eggs, honey
as well as enjoy demonstrations, music, artisanal
breads and prepared foods,
tastings and more," according to CSUSM's" website.
CSUSM's Farmers Market meets on campus every
Wednesday .from 3 p.m.
to 7 p.m. in parking lot B.

we know today was created
in the Unites States in the
late 1800s and was used to
commercialize the holiday.
Kwanzaa is an AfricanAmerican holiday that is
very new compared to other
end of year celebrations. As
stated on history.com, it was
started in 1966 when AfricanAmericans were embracing
their African roots and black
pride, and wanted a holiday
that celebrated their culture.
Kwanzaa is derived from a
Swahili word which means
"first fruits." It is seven days
of unity and perseverance
of black culture and identity
celebrated from Dec. 26 to
Jan. 1 that is now celebrated
by millions worldwide despite its few decades of existence. Celebrations include
everyone sipping from the
unity cup which remembers

* African-American
ancestors, lighting of the Kinara,which is a Candelabra with
7 candles that signify the 7
principles of Kwanzaa and
dancing with African drums.
Also known as the festival
of lights, Hanukkah is eight
days. Falling on the eve of
the 25th of the Jewish month,
of Kislev, Hanukkah is Nov.
27 to Dec. 5 this year. It
represents purity and light
crushing evil. Many centuries ago, after a battle with
the Seleucids, a small Jewish
resistance sought to light the
Temple's Menorah and they
found only enough oil to
burn for one day, yet it miraculously lasted for eight days.
Las Posadas is the Christmas equivalent in Mexico.
The celebrations are 12 days
long and are centered around
the Christian and Catholic
Nativity. According to mex-
online.com, there is a procession of the virgin Mary on a
donkey with baby Jesus, Joseph and a choir of children
knocking on doors trying to
find them a place to stay, to
no avail. The parade ends
at the church where mass is
held. The holiday celebrations end on Jan. 6 with "Dia
de los Magos" celebrating
the three wise men who generously gifted baby Jesus on
the night of his birth. The
majority of gifts are opened
on this last day. Other traditions include the eating of
the Rosea, a round bread
that contains a plastic baby
figurine inside. The lucky
finder of this plastic figurine is responsible for hosting the next Mexican holiday which falls on Feb. 2.
On our diverse campus, the
holidays are celebrated in
these and many other ways.

Effective cardio for those short on time

A newly fitting alternative
to prolonged cardio training
is known as high intensity interval training, or HUT.
For those of you who think
that there is not eiiough time
to exercise in the day, then
this short-duration exercise
may be the answer.
HUT consists of 10-30 second repeated bouts of near
maximal or supramaximal
effort, separated with periods of recovery. There are a
variety of ways to approach
HHT with many different exercises, number of intervals
and length of time. Surprisingly, improvements have
been shown in as low as 3
repetitions of 20 seconds
each, with a total workout
session being only one minute. It has been shown to improve cardiovascular fitness

Finding the right club to
join in college is already
hard enough, but what if
none of the clubs offer something you are interested in?
You form one.
After about a year of extremely hard work, the wrestling club made their debut
this semester. Their hard
work and determination is
what is going to make their
club last. For the first year
of their existence, the wrestling club will not be competing. However, they will
be practicing hard and trying
to boost membership.
President Jordan Riding
says their plan for the year is
to "prove we can sustain ourselves and get more members."
The club practices at least
twice a week in the Clarke
Fieldhouse using the mats
provided, with plans to buy
their own eventually. Club
fees are just $50 per semester, so with 10 members,
Riding said they would be
able to do just that. They
also plan on competing in individual matches during the
spring semester.
With no official coach, they
act as each other's personal
trainers. The goal of the
wrestling club is to be competing as a team by Fall 2014
with at least ten strong wrestlers. The team is willing to
teach anyone who is willing
to learn. The club's treasurer
was the only female wrestler
at her high school, and she
is definitely looking for girls
that are interested in learning
more about the sport.
The team knows that having a successful club is an
uphill battle, but they seem
ready for the challenge

V02max (maximal oxygen uptake) is another benefit from HUT. According
to CSUSM Kinesiology
professor Dr. Astorino, this
indicates an integration of

It is considered to be one of
the most important indicators
of cardiorespiratory fitness.
Basically the higher your

The many health benefits of surfing
B Y G LORIA MAGALLANES
STAFF W RITER
Surfing is a popular sport
in California, and many
don't realize that it can also
be used as a way to enjpy
nature, relax and release tension in the body.
Some of the health benefits
of surfing include cardiovascular fitness and strengthening of the body's muscles. All of this is acquired
through paddling in the water
and balancing on your feet
once you've caught a wave.
Not only does it affect your
fitness level, but according
to multiple health articles,
the exercise an individual
gets while surfing allows the
body to release endorphins
and helps them become tension free and relaxed.
"Surfing is my only source
for stress relief. At time's, I
may be the only person in
the water, and my only focus is riding the wave. Riding a great wave leaves me
in a positive upbeat mood,"
CSUSM student, Adrian
Frick, said.
Some of the most common beaches for suring in
San Diego County include
Oceanside Beach Pier, Carlsbad, Moonlight Beach, etc.
In the ocean, students are
given the oppprtunity to unwind from the stress that
comes with being in college,
and possibly catch a thrill
from that wave they were
longing for.

The CSUSM men's and

teams managed impressive
team finishes of 13th and

NAIA National Championships held in Kansas on Nov.
23.
With temperatures in the
mid 20s, dropping to midteens with the wind chill, the
CSUSM men's and women's
cross country teams faced
a tough challenge mentally
and physically.

coach, Steven Scott, said.
"Under the horrible conditions, I felt both teams did
real well."
Western Nelson's fourth
Ail-American Award at
last weekend's NAIA cross
country national championships makes him the only
athlete in CSUSM's history
to have been honored as an
All-American in all four
seasons of a sport.
"Before the race started
it wasn't f un being there in

the race, it was all I could
think about. But thankfully
it was cold enough that
I wasn't able to feel any of
my body parts which made it
much easier for me to ignore
ail the pain in my legs," Nelson said.
For other CSUSM runners,
the experience was bittersweet. Despite impressive
performances in less than
desirable conditions, Steven Ing, Heidi Swanson and
Kate Bouvatte fell just shy
of the coveted All-American
Award.

Torrey Pines State Reserve
offers many activities for
anyone looking to enjoy the
outdoors.
There are a number of hiking trails available to explore
that vary in length. They are
not too challenging, so they
are enjoyable to people of
most ability levels.
It is possible to drive into
the reserve, but fees are applicable. There are also parking fees to park right near the
entrance, but free parking
on the street can be found
if someone does not mind
some extra walking.
From the main entrance,
there is a steady incline up a
hill into the reserve. Not only
is the climb a great way to
get the heart pumping faster,
it also happens to be a trip
through geological history
where hikers can witness the
four different types of rock
formations that exist in the
park.
No food or drinks are permitted in the reserve, but water is certainly recommended. Comfy sneakers or even
hiking shoes would definitely be preferred f or anyone
hoping to tackle these trails.
There are benches throughout the trail systems to stop
and take breaks. Restrooms
are located in the reserve,
but they are limited, so it is a
good idea to grab a map and
get oriented before beginning an adventure.
From the lagoon to the
beach and the cliffs in between, there is quite a range
of natural habitats full of a
variety of plants and animals
f or hikers to enjoy.

Bubba's Smokehouse BBQ
restaurant is a divine dining place not only for its
charming location but for it's
off-the-bone type of meat!
Located only 2 minutes
away from La Jolla Cove
beach, Bubba's Smokehouse BBQ is lip smacking'
good. It's a great alternative
to our well known neighbor
Mr. Phil, the owner of San
Marcos' Mr. Phil's BBQ
joint on Grand Avenue.
As my friend and I arrived
at Bubba's, we were welcomely greeted by the owners and then we sat ourselves
comfortably. I had ordered a
half rack of baby back ribs
while my friend ordered the
slider trio, a combination
of three sandwiches: pulled
pork, chopped beef brisket and pulled chicken.
As I bite into my warm,
tender rib, it's juicy, sharp
sauce complements the wellseasoned ribs by not overpowering its natural smoked
flavor.Though the sauce at
Bubba's can be comparable
to Phil's, they still highly
differ from each other in
an extremely good way.
For instance, I find Phil's
sauce a bit too tangy and
Bubba Smokehouse is located

overpowering for my taste.
The lack of choice in sauces
at Phil's does disappoint, but
Bubba's has variety. Bubba's features three favorable
choices of sauce such as,
Bubba's lip-smackin' sweet
BBQ sauce or Bubba's Kickin' BBQ Sauce and Bubba's
Secret Dry Rub. I had tried
the kickin' sauce that brought
a distinctive spice and just
the right tang. Phil's sauce
suppresses the meat's natural
flavor and gradually starts
to build a harsh tangy taste.
Moreover,
the
slider
trio was mouth-watering
good! The only discouraging thing about the platter
was the amount of meat arid
sauce and how it regrettably
spoiled the taste of the sandwich, transforming it into a
spongy mess. Perhaps ordering the sauce on the side
would be the best solution so
that the bread doesn't form
into a huge absorbent sponge.
Lastly, their side section
was commendable, serving
a well-sized portion of crispy
fries with a flattering hint of
salt. The creamy, skinned
potato red salad had a nice
body to it, but was maybe a
bit overly seasoned with salt.
Bubba's prices are just a
bonus. The price is affordable, usually around $15 and
their portions always excel
their price range by serving
generous amounts of food.
Overall, my friend and I
were pleased with our visit to
Bubba's Smokehouse BBQ.
Without a doubt, we would
recommend it to anyone who
needs a break from Phil's or
is just interested in trying a
new bbq place around our
area. Bubba's Smokehouse
BBQ is located at 888 Prospect St., La Jolla, CA 92037.

with the administration.
Joseph happened into
the position when the spot
opened up unexpectedly.
He applied with the intention of making his name
more recognizable and intended to reapply a year or
two later when he was more
known in the Greek community. Joseph was taken by
surprise when he received a
phone call twenty minutes
after he left the interview
and was offered the job.
Since then, the 19-year-old
business major has taken on
the task of managing and
overseeing the Greek community's
approximately
more than 700 members.
However, Joseph
does
not solely focus on bringing the, various fraternities
and sororities together. He
also reaches out to students
and orgs, across campus to
create ties between them
and the Greek community.
One of the ways that he accomplishes this is by joining
together his roles as GLC
President and Resident Adviser at The Quad. Joseph
has a set quota of events that
he has to create for his 'residents' in the dorms, so often
times he coordinates them to
intersect with Greek. He believes that by getting groups
to work together, everything
on campus will operate in
a more inclusive manner.
Joseph keeps his commitments to GLC and his fraternity SAE close to his heart,
firmly believing that this path
will expose him to a multitude of new opportunities.
" I'm the 307,294th member
of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. It's
not necessarily a number to
me, but something that supports my decision," Joseph
said. "It represents all the
hard work I had to do to get
to college and the hard work
that I will do when I get out."
Joseph manages to bring
together the multiple dimensions of his college career while maintaining a
full course load, a skill that
he attributes to being organized and qualities that
he has learned from being
a member of a fraternity.
"It's been a way to find
friends, but they're not just
my brothers because of a title. Truly each and every one
of them is my family," Joseph
said. "The reason for my success is because going Greek
helps foster growth within a
person. It really has opened
my eyes to what I can accomplish in the business world."
Joseph's dedication to
GLC and the Greek community has only continued to
fuel the tremendous success
that fraternities and sororities
have enjoyed at CSUSM. He

"This is an incredible opportunity for CSUSM students. When I have talked

found that normally only

have access to these materials," Edmunds said;
But the enormous impact
of the club is not confined to
research projects that stay on
campus. Edmunds and other
students have gone to conferences at other universities to present their projects
and spread the knowledge
they have amassed. They
also work with Donate Don't

Club students distribute food
to those in the area that suffer from food insecurity.
The club successfully completed six food distributions
in the last semester, and have
helped pass out over 36,000
pounds of food last year.
The club welcomes any
Pre-Kinesiology or Kinesiology students that are interested in meeting and working with students at all stages
of their academic career.
"We have students that
are going into pre-physical
therapy, applied exercise
science, health science,

have a very healthy diversity and CSUSM opens
up so many doors for students," Edmunds said.

concerns of those who are
homeless through placing assumptions and judgments upon this mostly
ignored group of people.
I have found that homelessness
discriminates
against no one, but so many
people discriminate against
the homeless. Most of the
time they do not even realize that they are doing it.
Ill the past I took no notice
of things such as "No Loitering" signs, locks on bathroom doors in fast food restaurants or city ordinances of
not being allowed to sleep in
your car. Now when I encounter them, I have come
to realize that those restrictions are mostly directed at
the homeless population.
In the middle of the night
when that urgency to go the
bathroom arises, you have
to start up your car to burn
gas to simply find an open
establishment that has accessible bathrooms. The places
with locks on the bathrooms
doors require that every
single time you need to go
to the bathroom you now
must ask, "Can I please use
the bathroom?" Also, dismiss the thought of going to
the bathroom outside in the
bushes somewhere because
if caught you would be added to the sex offender list.
Never in the past would I
have considered the plight of
the homeless, where you're
forced to spend money
every day on fast food and
on very unhealthy food at
that. There has been many a
night where I literally cried
into my McChickeri because it was the only thing
I was able to afford and to
consume for weeks on end.
However, I remind myself
everyday that other people
have it far worse off than I
do. This provides brief flares
of passion to want to survive this to ensure all people
can attain food and shelter
in all of the United States.
A year ago, I met a woman
that, when I mentioned being homeless and then heard
that I Jive in my car, she responded, "Well you aren't
homeless then." There is
e ntry/state-
HOMELESSNESS
in
of-home-
America
lessnessin-america-2011
definite truth in that I have
a car so I would have more
shelter than another homeless man who is living out of
a cardboard box. However,
would you want either of
those living situations placed
upon yourself, your friends
or loved ones? I have had
issues with my car battery
dying after a night of charging my phone or leaving the
' heater on because it is so cold
outside only to then wake
up and find my car dead.
By far the worst thing I've
encountered because of being homeless is the effects
it has with relation to family
and friends. Whether it is my
parents ignoring my calls to
friends and coworkers displaying the same lack of concern, in the end all is the same
result: solitude and isolation.
The mental, physical and
even spiritual decimation of
an individual occurs through
this solitude and isolation. If
this individual is unplugged
from social environments
and the simple interaction of
other human beings for too
long, that individual has the
very real risk of disappearing into themselves and into
the dark and ignored pockets
of society. When society has
given up and written you off
for so long, it is only a matter of time before you give
up and write off yourself.
I have chosen to be homeless t hough thé act of giving my ex-wife the salon I
built for her and taking almost nothing for myself so
she could be well off. Oddly
I have no regrets. But last
night while I curled up for
sleep and as I pondered over
my story, the story I now
write, I was reminded once
again and overwhelmed
with an emotion I have felt
every night, which is fear.
There is the fear of getting
my car impounded for sleeping in it, or fear from assault
and robbery due to the isolated and vulnerable posi-
tion I place myself in each
time I park on a dark and
foggy street. There is fear of
sweltering summer nights,
frigid winter dawns and
overwhelming downpours
of rain. There is the very
powerful fear of dying in the
back of my car all alone, and
I not being found for days
or weeks on end. Each little
noise slaps you awake from
sleep to ensure no defensive
actions are required. This has
been by far the most present
and prevalent emotion that
I carry with me every day.
The silver lining in all of
this is I have found a certain and once seemingly
rare characteristic in people
which I now consider "true
humanity." These are the
people who learn about my
living situation who continue
to make eye contact with me,
call me on the phone to simply ask how my day went, do
random kind deeds such as
bringing me food at school or
invite me to their social gatherings and those who display
compassion and understanding. I have found that openness and honesty, while
sometimes briefly being detrimental, in the long run creates new friends, family and
alliances stronger than any I
have known in my whole life.
The best advice I can provide to others that might find
themselves in my situation
is to first and foremost, curb
your pride. If someone you
care about offers you food, a
place to stay or simply wants
to chat with you, I recommend accepting the offer and
opening up to them. Take
the food, display the gratitude required and be glad
there are still those who care.
It is time we started shining the light into the darkest
corners of society because
there are so many that are
lost and can easily be found
and guided back into the
light with compassion, patience" and understanding.
CSUSM students use their
computers to work on assignments in the little down
time that they have between
classes but the campus wifi
is too spotty to be effective.
The school wifi only works
perfectly in a few locations.
This wastes the little time
students have to spare and
by the time they pull u p the
page they need, it's time to
head to class. If a student
needs access to a webpage
for the in-class assignments
for the day, it takes most, of
the class for the webpage
to load and makes it harder
for that student to complete
assignments. If a student's
only time to complete homework assignments is between
classes on campus, they have
to navigate through the difficult wifi in order to access
what they need to get done.
The wifi at the school
should be improved in order

Citizens' rights are repeatedly violated in airports
BY LAUREN HAMMOND
OPINION EDITOR
Outrent
TSA regulations remain a controversial topic in the US and it
seems as though violations
associated to the program
are only getting worse.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
is the governmental agency
responsible for providing
travelers with the most effective form of protection. The
agency was deployed in response to the Sept. 11, 2001
attacks in New York, serving
to better the quality of safety
and travel throughout the US.
The TSA currently holds
authority to search and seize
anyone as they see fit. Under
administrative law, these programs are allowed to completely d isrcg^ the terms
of "probable cause." Officers
of the Behavioral Detection
Program, a subdivision of
TSA, look for "clusters of behaviors indicative of stress,
fear or deception." Anyone
who is presumed to be showing such symptoms may be
unjustly removed, analyzed
and interrogated. This backwards view of condemning
citizens as guilty until proven innocent under inspection

continues today, despite the
fact that even after 10 years
of implementation the US
Government Accountability
Office (GAO) has deemed
the program unreliable.
Airports currently require
full-body scans of travelers. Some of the equipment
that is used, referred to as
bagkscatter x-ray technology, emanates small doses of
radiation that can be harmful for some travelers. The
main health concern for
travelers passing through
the x-ray technology is the
development of skin cancer.
Passengers that are the most
susceptible to ionizing exposure risks are those who
frequently fly, such as pilots
and children, who tend to be
more sensitive to radiation.
However, these scans not

images produced by the
backscatter x-ray examination also expose the naked
outline of travelers. This
virtual stripping is demoralizing for many passengers
but opting out to these scans
may lead to further humiliation. If a traveler reserves
their right to refuse the invasive scan, they are then
forced to undergo physical
searches that may include
inappropriate
touching.
The government's ~ main
responsibility is to protect
Americans' freedoms but the
abuses probed by the TSA's
illegitimate regimes are denying citizens their liberties.
It is imperative that Americans demand back their
rights.

Students at CSUSM have

awareness of GMO's implications can save lives.
GMOs are not placed inside the foods that we eat.
It is put in the seeds that are
used to make all the foods
that we eat. Many GMOs
also contain something called
glyphosate, which is a weed
killer that can be extremely
damaging to humans. It poisons our healthy bacteria,
and goes into our bloodstream causing neurological
damage. GMOs also contain

Group projects are controversial class dynamic
BY R ICO PALMERIN
FEATURES EDITOR .
Following an announcement of a group project,
many students moan and
groan because of bad experiences.
Lack of partner participation results in a lower grade
for the group, not just the individual. Other students are
very independent and enjoy
relying solely on their own
abilities to earn their grade.
With s a much antagonism
toward group projects, why
do teachers continue to assign them? Do they just not
care what students think? Or
do they see group projects in

projects as a large portion of
the grade for her FMST 300:
"In general, I find students a re at
first quite anxious and w orried when
they learn that there will be required
group projects. Students a re understandably concerned that their grades
wifl depend on someone else's performance/7 - Sandra Doller
Elements of Cinema course.
"I believe group work challenges students in some very
productive - ways, inviting
them to think beyond their
own perspectives, to share
ideas, to be inspired by each
other's creativity, and to
form bonds with other students," Assistant Professor
of Literature & Writing Studies, Sandra Doller, said.
Perhaps nothing in our
courses gives us a taste of the
real world as much as group
projects do. They force us
into uncomfortable situations, with people we don't
know very well, and demand
that we work together productively. Any students who
have had a job, volunteered
at an organization or even
joined £ club can see the parallels here.
This is why group projects,
for as much as they hurt,
help us even more. They pull
us away from our academically reinforced sense of
self-dependence and help to
prepare us for reality outside
of school.
As Doller points out,
"Group projects build a sense
of camaraderie and community, which I think is one of
the most important things in
keeping students engaged in
their own learning."
Group projects aren't the
flu, but the bitter medicine
we need. So next time a
group project comes up, instead of responding with the
negative, habitual groan,
students should make a conscious effort to have a good
experience and invest t hemselves in the assignment, and
others, will follow hopefully

21 and over venues exclude

21 and over venues make
so that some students
have to miss their favorite

this even worse is that with
some bands, these venues
are their only local stop and
the sole chance to see them.
This should not be the case
as music is a popular outlet
for the stressed student. In
addition, venues that are 21

students that have friends

are also 21 and over venues.
Students are unable to see
an outlet where they can

'John Dies a t the End' A trophied L andscape
G lance i nto M CASD d o w n t o w n
BY K ATIE G ARNER
STAFF WRITER
There's something satisfying about a good ghost story.
The pulse-raising, spine
crawling tales of murder and
mystery are refreshing no
matter what the season. Horror fans everywhere will appreciate a chilling novel that
keeps you biting your lip and
fearful of shadows on the
wall for days on end. Well,
this book isn't quite like that.
David Wong delivers a never-ending stream of laughs in
his debut novel John Dies at
the End. Successfully blending the genres of horror
and comedy, Wong's novel
promises nothing but the
most insane spiral into crazy
you may ever read, in this
life and the next. The plot
revolves around two college
dropouts, Dave and John,
who gain the ability to see all
manner of supernatural creatures after a party one fateful
night. Amidst flying mustaches and girls bursting into
snakes, Dave and John have
no idea what they're doing
and their decision-making
skills leave much to be desired. But c aa they save the
day from the most powerful
entity of evil in the universe?
B Y L ISSETTE N UNEZ
STAFF W RITER
All signs point to no.
Dave's deadpan narration
and John's Don Quixoteesque persona are a hilarious
contrast and tremendous fun
to read. Although the action
packed plot proves confusing
at times, once you pick up
John Dies at the End you'll
be laughing too much to con-
sider putting it down. The
author is currently the executive editor of the humor
site Cracked.com and last
year published the sequel to
John Dies at the End, which
is entitled This Book is Full
of Spiders (Seriously Don't
Touch It).
As we almost approach
winter break, I would like
to recommend the Museum
of Contemporary Art of San
Diego, a museum known to
have various types of eye
catching artwork.
One which stood out more
than the others was Atrophied Landscape, an art
piece made by Travis Somerville. The painting detailed a
lone house that is perched on
top of Martin Luther King's
head and a collage of luxury
ads from 1960's magazines
surrounded it. Moreover, the
medium Somerville used in
his artwork was oil on a canvas, which he completed in
2009.
Travis Somerville grew
up in towns throughout the
southern United States. Being born and raised in the

to explore the history of
race and racism through his
art. Most of his large-scale

setting such as the piece
mentioned above. His sculptures and installations also
reflected on the complexities
of racism that enlightened a
point of how departed society is from discussing U.S.
oppressions and colonial attitudes.
His education sprouted
through the works of Maryland Institute College of
Art in Baltimore, where he
studied and attended San
Francisco Art Institute after
getting situated in San Francisco.
Today, Somerville's work
has been included in numerous museum exhibitions.
One in particular enlightens
the view on human rights,
which is "The State of Human Rights." It is an international exhibition consisting
of 70 contemporary artists
who devote their styles of art
to human rights.
Overall, this would be a
great place to see as a family.
It opens a sense of unusual
thoughts that are not usually
triggered during the realm of
being part of society caused
by of all its distractions such
as the media, politics, religion and propaganda.
That being said, let us enjoy
a true sense of freedom for
once under the open-minded
views brought by contemporary art and its attempts of
expanding thoughts far beyond one's imagination.
The museum is in Downtown San Diego at the Jacobs
Building at 1100 Kettner. It is
open from 11 a m. to 5 p m.
every day except Wednesdays.
Movie review
Thor 2: The Dank World
Cougar Shuffle - Winter jams
B Y Z ACH SCHANZENBACH
By Amanda Lenox
STAFF WRITER
There are hundreds of superheroes nowadays, but
how many of them are gods?
At least one, that's for sure.
When Marvel's demigod
from Asgard made his bigscreen debut in 2011, Thor's
film didn't have quite as big
an impact as Iron Man or
Captain America. But it's
still a good watch. Thor returned a year later alongside
our aforementioned heroes
and others to stop his brother Loki's evil plans in The
Avengers. Now after another
year, Thor is back for more.
Thor: The Dark World engrosses its audience more
than its 2011 predecessor.
While Thor placed more focus on the Asgardian's character development than on
super awesome action scenes
those superhero movies are
known for, The Dark World
involves a lot more action
than anything.
So what is our demigod
hero (Chris Hemsworth) up
against this time? An evil
elf named Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) wants to
destroy the universe with a
destructive weapon known
as the Aether (must be a
South Pole e lf...). With a
crazy dimensional fissure of
sorts coming to Earth, the
destructive liquid finds a way
to seep into the bloodstream

man), Thor's human love interest from Earth. For about
the first 50 minutes, nothing
goes right for our hero and
he is finally driven to such
desperation that he actually
busts his brother out of prison. This is where the film
gets much more4nteresting,
starting off with Loki (Tom
Hiddleston) making some
rather hilarious comments
that make Jane's comic-relief
intern look rather bland.
As for the crazy dimensional fissure that comes to Earth
at the climax of the movie,
well, let's just say that gravity is defied and a portal of
sorts is created. When I say
portal, don't be thinking of
Loki's portal at the climax of
Avengers. This one is much
more chaotic.
The story as a whole is
well-done, although it leaves
a little ambiguity about
what's become of Thor's
father Odin (Anthony Hopkins). Hemsworth and Hiddleston do a fine job creating tension between the two
brothers, and ultimately the
viewer's expectations are
turned completely upside
down.
When all is said and done,
if you thought Thor was
somewhat slow compared
to other Marvel productions,
then you'll have no problem
with The Dark World. It's a
worthy watch.
PS: Marvel fans may want
to stick around after the credits start to roll; there's a little
hint scene after the first quarter of the credits. But then
what were you expecting? As
for what's after all the credits? Well, it's not much...just
an epilogue, really.

According to rookiemag.

scary place during the holidays" and I agree, especially
for a college student on a

is an alternative to this nightmare: the thrift store. If you
know how to maneuver one,
you can find thoughtful, creative gifts that won't empty
your wallet or contribute to
the consumerist hype of the

to the Salvation Army thrift
store at Poway. Everything
was 50% off! And I was cruising down the men's aisle and
I happened to stumble across
a velvet blazer. I tried it on
and itfitperfectly. Compared
to department store prices,
that blazer would have been
priced around hundreds of
dollars and I got it for less
than ten bucks. I also got
a black tee shirt with a cat
on it for a (dollar. I also got
a cute little nick-knack for
less than fifty cents. It was
a wooden cat and it looked

my thrifting experience was
a successful one and I suggest that my readers take
advantage of the wonderful worlcf of the thrift store.
I am from Chula Vista,
way down south from San
Marcos. Whenever I go back
home to San Diego, I try to
go thrifting. I usually go to
Broadway and the whole
street is filled with thrift
stores. I budget my spending to about $20, and I usually come home with a trash
bag filled to the rim with
my purchases. Moving to
San Marcos, I want to look
for moire thrift stores, and I
know that there are plenty of
them close by. i want to go to
Oceanside and go thrifting.
I believe thrift stores are
great places for students
who are on a budget especially during the holiday
season. Thrift stores are everywhere. No matter wherever you live, they are bound
to be around somewhere.
