Days),” which described the pro

day.
“In North American culture,

CSUSM Breaks
New Ground
with Ethnic
Studies Program
By CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM recently created
to a new minor program, ethnic
studies. The program, almost
a decade in the making, came
at the request of interested stu
dents and was made possible by
a collective group of more than
a dozen professors. The pro
gram offers students the choice
of more than 80 courses drawn
from nine disciplines. Students
must complete 21 units of cred
it to obtain the minor.
Initially, it was conceived
as a major rather than as a
minor, and slated to be part
of the curriculum sometime
around 2005. When the ethnic
studies major came up for
approval over two years ago,
Richard Karas, vice president
of Academic Affairs at the
time, removed the program
from consideration under pres
sure from CSU headquarters
in Long Beach, which argued
that there were enough of such
. programs already in existence
within the CSU system and
that one at CSUSM was unwar
ranted.
CSUSM literature and
writing professor Susie Cassel
and former liberal studies pro
fessor Lionel Maldonado took
action, assembling interested
professors to form a proposal
group to restructure the major
program into a minor —utiliz
ing courses already found with
in the curriculum. Although
the group consisted of almost
15 professors, sociology pro
fessors Sharon Elise and Garry
Rolison, liberal studies pro
fessors Bob Yamashita and
Anibal Yanez-Chavez, along
with Cassel, formed the coali
tion that would present their
proposal to the Academic
Senate.
At the Academic Senate’s
final meeting of the school
year in May 2000, the group
was given one minute to pres
ent its case for the program.
The senate passed the pro
gram- but did not support
funding. Fortunately, Cassel
says, Interim Dean Miriam
Schustack “courageously decid
ed that the ethnic studies degree
was central enough to the uni
versity’s mission and the col
lege’s academic vision, that she
promised to fund it for this
year.” Still, the funding issue
will have to be addressed each
year and Cassel admits that,

�Student Researches a Future Possibility
for Protection Against Terrorism
By STEPHANIE BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Terrorism has created a new
reality in America, and
Americans are now searching
for answers not only to what
could have been done, but what
can be done now, especially in
the search to find any terrorists
living in America. One CSUSM
student, Latha Kannan, is par
ticipating in the search by
researching a new scientific tech
nique called brain fingerprint
ing, which may aid the govern
ment in bringing not only ter
rorists, but any suspected crimi
nals, to justice.
Kannan, a third-year liberal
studies major, is researching the
brain fingerprinting technique
for a project in her Technical
Writing course (LTWR 317),
where students not only learn
the basics of technical writing,
but also practice their technical
skills by engaging in a semesterlong project. Each student must
create a project, whether it is a
handbook, manual, or business
proposal. Each project must be
sufficiently technical in nature,
and may cover any topic the stu
dents choose. Kannan proposed
a project that will identify terror
ists using the brain fingerprint
ing technique.

Prompt Payment Revision
Effective Spring Term 2002
There will be one payment deadline date three weeks prior to
the start of the term (for Spring 2002, this date would be Jan.
10). At this date, all payment is due from any student who has
reserved classes. Thereafter, all students must pay at the time of
registration. Disenrollment will occur on a daily basis.
Important points to remember:
There is no interference with pre-registration. It can con
tinue and payment is deferred to a later date (the one
deadline date).
After the deadline, disenrollment for non-payment will
occur on a daily basis allowing for the university to know
exactly the true enrollment count.
Financial Aid still controls the deferral process for aid
recipients and so students with a deferral code would
continue to be exempt from disenrollment and allowed
to reserve classes. This scenario also applies to students,
s u c h as veterans, with waiver deferrals.
The time limits for the daily disenrollment will be as follows:
Any student, who registers up to 8 p m. of a campus business
day, must make payment by 8 a.m. of the next campus business
day.
* Campus business days are defined as Monday through Friday,
excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays. Any regis
tration occurring after the established cut-off (8 p.m.) on a
campus business day will be treated as if received on the
following campus business day.
Disenrollment for non-payment will occur on each business
day at 9 a.m. (allowing for processing of drop box payments
received by 8 a.m.).
Methods of payment are as follows:
* * Cashiers hours will remain at this time as 9 a.ni. to 4 p.m.,
Monday through Thursday. The first two weeks of the term,
Cashiers will extend the closing hour to 5 p.m.
Drop Box

Smart Phone
Emergency loans are available to qualified students beginning
10 days prior to the term (check will be available for pickup
with a two-day turn around).
New Shopping Center Opens across from Campus
By JUSTIN ANDREWS
and MIA ALIO
Pride Staff Writers
Finally, a light a the end of
the Twin Oaks Valley Road con
struction tunnel shines bright, as
the new Ralph’s Shopping Center
will provide CSUSM students
with something to do between
classes. But for some people, the
new center causes concern.
Halloween morning marked
the grand opening of Ralph’s
supermarket, readily equipped
with a deli, pharmacy, photo
development lab, and a variety of
lunch possibilities to supplement
campus dining.
Ralph’s was the first busi
ness in the new center to open
its doors.
Soon to follow are
Blockbuster Video, Starbucks
Coffee, Discovery Isle Day Care,
Longs Drugs, Scripps Credit
Union Bank, a Chinese food res
taurant, and possibly a pizza
sports bar.
“We’re excited about being
here, we hope to serve a niche
with our location being centrally
located among
[CSUSM] and the suburban
neighborhood,” said Ralph’s oper
ating manager, John Hammel.
“We have a few San Marcos and
Palomar students employed at
this store,” he added.
Hammel said that Ralph’s
intends to contribute to the com
munity by sponsoring events and
fundraisers for the local ele
mentary schools and CSUSM.
Campus clubs, organizations, and
departments may set up conve
nience accounts with Ralph’s,
that would be billed straight to
the organization’s budget.
Ralph’s is open 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, under a
restricted liquor license which
Hammel said, “is typical to have
when immersed in a neighbor
hood, and this close to a college.
It only means, that we stop sell
ing alcohol at midnight and don’t
sell single containers under 20
oz.”
A Ralph’s employee also
mentioned that some faculty had
expressed concerns about the
availability of liquor so close to
campus.
Concern has also been
expressed about the possibility
of Discovery Isle Day Care
Center taking business away
from the ASI Early Learning
Center (ELC), a childcare facil
ity for the CSUSM community.
Joyce Williams, Director of the
Early Learning Center, Was
unavailable for comment.
Others are concerned about

since the program began, it has
generated much interest on cam

the Angela Davis lecture, “three
more professors have asked for
their classes to be included,”
Cassel noted, adding that, “the

Courses in communication,
world languages, Hispanic stud

represented within the minor.

Toni Morrison
Celebrated in
Fete du Livre
By LAURA HOPKINS
For The Pride
Editors' note: Laura Hopkins
is a CSUSM student in the
CSU International Program in
France.
The audience rose and burst
into applause as celebrated
author, Toni Morrison, made her
way towards the stage of the
Amphitheatre de la Verriere in
Aix-en-Provence Oct. 18. That
Thursday evening marked the
opening events of the four-day
Fete du Livre, dedicated to
Morrison, at Aix’s central library
and cultural center, the Cite du
Livre,
The events of this “Book
Festival” included round table
discussions, book signings, read
ings, and the screenings of four
American films chosen by
Morrison, depicting the AfricanAmerican struggle.
“I am going to be very
pleased and curious these next
few days,” said Morrison as the
events began.
“Unspeakable histories
(Une histoire interdite),” was the
topic of the first roundtable dis
cussion, as well as the theme
that made its way into all of the
discussions of the “festival.”

to

North American Studies at the

in Aix-en-Provence. Laura Hopkins, a CSUSM student studying in the CSU Internation Program
in France, recounts the lecture. (Courtesy Photo/Laura Hopkins)
University of Provence, Morrison
is the author who “touches on
black holes in history with a
capital H.”
Christol described Morrison
as the author who, with courage
and grace, allows the “unspeak
able” to come to life and be
claimed. The unspeakable was
illustrated in Morrison’s novel,
Beloved, when the ghost rep
resenting the Middle Passage
arrived in a small, AfricanAmerican town in Ohio.
During the round table
discussions, Morrison described
the process of “narrowing the
space” in which an event
becomes more real as it pro
gresses, in the case of “unspeak
able” African-American history,
“from slave mother to your moth
er.”
“There was always a ‘refusal
to talk about it,”’ said Morrison
about her family; she said that her
writings allow for the recovery of
this lost history. She added that,
for her, the difficulty in express
ing this void was resolved when
she “realized all she had to do
was say it, [she] didn’t have to
live it.”
Morrison,
who
described herself as a “provoca
teur,” has been “saying it” now
for more than 20 years, and the
questions she raises allow us to
hear and listen to a story that
must be told.
Her lyrical voice, according
to director, actor, and author
Peter Sellers, gives us “a song
where the melody is stronger

�T raining Day: A Different Type of War
By KEVIN FRISK
For The Pride
During a time when our
nation is engrossed in a war
abroad, a different type of war
is being fought here at home that
has nothing to do with anthrax
or chemical terrorism. This is
a daily battle fought by law offi
cers across the country, for our
streets and neighborhoods.
Our inner-city streets have
become battlegrounds for both
criminals and the criminal jus
tice system. In the past, officers
of the law have been given a wide
range of executive powers and
authority to use whatever force
they deem necessary to capture
criminals and prohibit criminal
activity.
With power comes the abuse
of power, and in the case of
the law enforcement agency, this
abuse can be just as violent and
criminal as the acts they are sup
posedly trying to prevent.
Antoine Fuqua’s (director of
‘‘The Replacement Killers”) new
movie, “Training Day,” starring
Denzel Washington (“Remember
the Titans”) and Ethan Hawke
(“G.A.T.T.A.C.A.”) is a movie
loosely based on the recent Ram
part police corruption scandal in
the Los Angeles police depart
ment.
The movie centers on a vet
eran of the LAPD, Alonzo Harris
(Washington), who runs an anti
gang unit on the mean streets
of South Central Los Angeles.
As the Title suggests, “Training
Day” is just that: a 24-hour peri
od where rookie cop Jake Hoyt
(Hawke) has one day to prove to
Harris that he is tough enough
and has enough knowledge of the
streets to join the anti-gang unit.
Screenwriter David Ayer pro
phetically scripted this action/
drama years before a Los Angeles
gang-busting unit was caught par-

ticipating in illegal drug traf
ficking, evidence planting, and
excessive brutality, not unlike the
behavior of the people they were
supposed to arrest and incarcer
ate.
In his first role as a villain
ous and morally deviant char
acter, Washington does an out
standing job of portraying the
rough life that surrounded screen
writer David Ayer as he grew up
in Inglewood and South Central
LA.
As the officers patrol the
streets undercover, Hoyt witness
es Harris break, rule after rule to
accomplish some unknown goal,
a goal that Harris claims to be the
ultimate success for an effective
street cop.
The lines of ethics are blurred
as Harris uses extremely ques
tionable tactics to get what he
wants from the streets. Instantly
opposed to his violent and unorth
odox techniques, Hoyt is, from
the start, at odds with Harris’s
practices. However, it is Harris’s
charisma and persuasive connec
tion with the streets that has even
Hoyt, the “by-the-book” officer,
questioning his beliefs in who
and what makes a criminal*
While the film is violent, the
movie relies strongly on charac
ter development rather than fancy
Hollywood computer graphics to
relay its message, and that is
why the excessive violence seems
merely natural and necessary.
Even though the violence may
seem gratuitous to the audience
at times, it forces the viewer
to define their own beliefs and
opinions; it forces them to choose
between their own sense of right
and wrong.
Fuqua and Ayer show the
audience a world where the moral
lines have blurred and only a gray
mix of right and wrong remains.
They want viewers to ask them
selves if it is more important to
have effective laws, or laws effec
tively enforced, and “Training
Day” accomplishes just that.
“Training Day” is rated R by
the MPAA for brutal violence,
pervasive language, drug content
and brief nudity and has a run
time of 120 minutes.
Janes Addiction Inspires Erotic
Imagination in San Diego
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
“We saw the shadowis of the
morning light, the shadows of
the evening sun, till the shad
ows and the light were one...”
beamed Perry Farrell, as Jane’s
Addiction lit up Coors Ampitheatre, bringing Halloween to San
Diego three days early.
Although Jane’s Addiction
didn’t open with Three Days,
the song always seems to mark
a spiritually erotic part of the
show. This time was no excep
tion and exhibited mostly naked
dancers spinning upside down
on a circular trapeze.
Jane’s Addiction is not a rock
band and they are not an alterna
tive band; they are in a category
solely occupied by Jane’s Addic
tion. They take a variety of musi
cal backgrounds, such as punk
and tribal rhythms, and create
a fascinating ephemeral dream,
especially when they perform.
The music is original and
each show is an extremely differ
ent production, but they always
have an erotic theme, not erotic
as in sexual activity, but erotic
in how they stimulate emotion,
bringing out the imaginative
qualities of the mind, body and
Spirit.
The erotic behavior began
with the opening song and con
tinually advanced as their per
formance was illuminated by
the setting of the moon dipping
below the rim of the bandshell.
The circus-like performance
began with Ketel Whistle. As
Farrell echoed “such a beautiful
girl,” his parachute-like costume,
which flowed out from a Vic
torian style girdle and covered
most of the stage, gave birth, first
to an elegantly placed stiletto
heel, then gradually revealed a
sensuous fish net stocking cov
ered leg.
As the song continued the
one erotic maiden evolved into
three women and a man, who
all came forth from the dress
to dance and then returned back
under the flowing parachute as
the song faded into the sound of
the night.
“It’s one of those shows
where some people know the
songs, but they just don’t know,”
said Halsey D. Corbin, a film
maker from North Park, San
Diego, elaborating on the imag
inative qualities of the perfor
mance.
“It was a very erotic show,
everything a concert should be.
They definitely know their stuff”
said Chris “Blizzard” Layua, a
first time attendee from South
County.
One interestingly different
quality to this show was the fact
that Farrell, who normally ends
up butt naked, actually added
clothing throughout the perfor
mance.
From his living dress to a
pirate suit to a wide-brimmed
purple hat and sparkly suit, Far
rell waded through many faces
of the Jane’s Addiction Hallow
een dream.
With the exception of the
bassist, all the original band
members are on this year’s tour.
The majesty of the band is
exemplified by the fact that all
the members have other projects
going. Dave Navarro, the guitar
player, is fresh off a tour with his
self-titled solo band. Steve Per
kins, the drummer, has a side
project band, Banyan.
Then there is Farrell, who
occupies his time with many
facets of political activism, along
with creating Lalapalooza in the
early 1990s, and touring with
his other successful band, Pornos
for Pyros. But, he was also
heavily involved with this year’s
Coachella Music and Arts Festi
val.
“Here’s to courage, here’s to
music, here’s to tuberiding, here’s
to you...” raged Farrell as the
band stepped to the front of the
stage, after an intense session
of tribal drumming and vocal
exploration, and bid everyone
farewell.

�The Boo & Mee Cafe You Don’ Have to Go out
t
Is a Delight
to Eat Good Mexican Food
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Feature Editor
By KEVIN FRISK
Pride Staff Writer
Just a mile-and-a-half from
campus, on San Marcos Bou
levard, sits a delightfully inex
pensive Japanese food restaurant
called the Boo & Mee Cafe. One
of the best kept secrets of the
San Marcos eatery scene, this
restaurant offers a wide variety
of delectable traditional dishes,
as well as items more suited
for the typical American palate.
And while the taste is excep
tional, the price offers a better
incentive for those who watit to
sample the cuisine.
The average meal ranges
between $3.25 and $6.25, tax
included. The Boo & Mee Cafe
is owned and operated by an
older Japanese woman, who
many affectionately refer to as
“Obachan,” (grandmother in Jap
anese.) She and her daughter
serve as the chefs, waitresses,
and busboys.
Despite the sometimes-long
wait, regular customers keep
on coming back for more. The
reason for this, explained Hideki
Yoshida, a regular customer and
CSUSM student, is the authentic
quality of the food. “This is the
best Japanese food that I have
had since leaving Japan. It tastes
almost as good as my mother’s
cooking,” said Yoshida.
Customers have the option
of an entree menu and a bowl
menu. All entrees come with
a small side salad, miso soup,
and rice, making these selections
an exceptional value. The best
value, however, comes with the
bowl menu. With the bowl menu,
patrons may fill themselves with
a delicious meal, without damag
ing their pocketbooks. With the
price of the bowl menu around
$4, items such as the salmon
teriyaki or the fried pork cutlet
may sound even more enticing
REVIEW
to customers.
For first-timers, I recom
mend Katsudon, a bowl item of
breaded and fried pork cutlet
over a bed of rice and egg, or
Gyudon, a bowl of seasoned beef
served over rice and carmelized
onions. Some of the bowl selec
tions even come with a side
order, like miso soup or salad.
From the entree menu, I sug
gest the grilled mackerel fish
(saba), or the shrimp and vege
table tempura combination, both
of which are reasonably priced
at $4.25 apiece. Also an excel
lent choice for the first-timer is
the fried calamari steak (squid),
which is served, as all entrees
in this establishment are, with a
side salad, miso soup, and a side
of rice.
The only downside to this
quality restaurant is the limited
hours that it is open. Closed on
Sundays, the Boo & Mee Caf6
is open for dine-in or take-out
lla.m.-3 p.m., Monday through
Saturday. And while this might
not be a convenient schedule for
those who attend night classes,
it provides an excellent respite
from the blandness of cafeteria
food for students who have a
lunch break between classes or
who finish up classes earlier in
the day.
To reach the Boo & Mee
Cafe from campus, take Twin
Oaks Valley Road to San Marcos
Blvd., where you then make a
left and head west. Less than
two miles down the street, on
the right-hand side, is the cafe
at 844 West San Marcos Bou
levard, nestled between Fitness
for Her and the Villanueva Taco
Shop.

Recipe for chiles rellenos
Ingredients needed:
2-3 chiles poblanos (peppers)
Cheese, tuna or shredded meat
1 tomato
Clove of garlic
Small piece of onion
Oil
2 eggs
Flour
Salt
Prepare and cook the chiles.
Roast the chiles, and
then peel the skin off. Cut
a line through the chiles to remove the seeds, but make sure they are clean. Insert the cheese or
tuna (or whatever else you are using), then close and cover it with flour.
Beat two eggs; first beat the egg white until it rises and looks like foam, and then add the
yolk. Mix them together for 30 seconds and then gently dip the chiles into mix. Place the skillet on the
stove, and set the stove to a medium temperature with enough oil in the skillet to cook your chiles.
Set the chiles in the skillet and let them cook until they look light brown. Make sure you cook
both sides. Once they are cooked, set them aside on a flat plate with a paper towel underneath, so that
the oil gets absorbed and is not too greasy.
Have tomato sauce ready.
To make your own: cut the tomatoes in half, put them in a blender, add water, garlic, onion, and
then blend. Set a pot on the stove at a low-medium temperature, add the tomato sauce, and let it boil. Add
salt. Just before it starts to boil, add the chiles. Let it boil for two minutes. Make sure you measure the
ingredients appropriately to the amount of chiles you are making.
For a better meal, have rice and beans ready. Serve al gusto and enjoy. Don’t forget the com tortillas, and
a cold beverage. Serves two to three people.

Battle of the Sexes: Surnames
By JUSTIN ANDREWS and KIM BOYARSKY
your wife’s last name, make women
equal and the world will be a better
place? What about world hunger,
terrorism, or crooked politicians?
These are just some of the issues
that take precedence over female
domination.
Kim: I think that it is completely
unfair to expect women to change
their last names in order to con
form fo what males want. Society’

in this Stone Age behavior.
Justin:
Listen, women have a
place in the world as well as men.
Any woman is capable of any
thing, but you are talking about
reversing simple frivolous cultural
details. It would needlessly compli
cate our entire system. How do you
expect every letter that used to be
addressed “Mr. and Mrs. So-andso” to conform to your scheme and
be changed to “Mr. So-and-so and

easy.

Letter to the Editors:
I just wanted you to know
that the ASI has made a huge
oversight on deciding what is to
be “sold” on campus. Two days
ago, I perused the stand that
had flat metal advertisements for
sale. As I went through them, I
couldn’t help but notice the dis
gusting large plaques that had
“pickaninny” pictures of African
Americans on them. One had a
Buckwheat-looking guy holding
a large, red piece of watermelon
on it. Another had some gross
caricature of an African Ameri
can on it with the words, “Dem
Sho Am great” written on it. The
list goes on.
Just to see how students
would respond, I placed them
conspicuously in front of the
stacks so that there was no way
to miss them, and I walked away.
They were so horrendous that
you would have to be blind not
to see the buffoonery they made
of blacks. The thing is that they
were real advertisements.
So today I decided to say
something to the guy who was
selling them. I literally asked
him (loudly) why he “was selling
that shit?” Some broad (prob
ably staff) told me to quit being
so “rude,” at which point I asked
her what was ruder, the guy
selling these strange racist and
demeaning plaques or the word
“shit” (at which point I said
problems such as starving children,
over-population, capitalistic greed,
HIV, our dying natural environ
ment or a slew of other problems?
Kim: Justin, problems have cata
lysts and they work in circular
chains which interlink, affecting
everything around them. Our dying
natural environment is caused by
capitalistic greed and overpopula
tion which, in turn, depletes the
world’ food supply causing hun
s
ger. The root of all these problems
are the men that cause them, and
are too stubborn to let a woman
take the reins and guide the world
f or a change.
Justin: You’re reaching, what you
need to realize is that most men,
myself included, are not going to
simply give upt their family name to
make their wives happy. The fact
of the matter is, the world’s prob
lems are not as simple as giving
females’ dominance to solve men’s
mistakes. If you understand a circu
lar chain of problems that interlink,
then you’ll definitely understand
that one problem leads to another
and if women ruled the world, who
knows what we’d be in for.
“shit” twice).
The bastard selling the stuff
said he had a “right’’ to do so,
and basically summed up his
argument on the basis of “free
trade.” He added, “Well, black
people buy this stuff.” What is
that supposed to mean?
White people have been
known to buy Nazi memorabilia,
but does that make it any more
right? I then asked him if he had
any Nazi memorabilia which I
could buy. If he had the “right”
to sell racist crap why didn’t he
have any Nazi stuff?
That broad then told me
to join the military (for some
strange reason). At that point I
informed her that I already did
three years in the army. I could
see that I was getting nowhere
with these sorry excuses for
human beings. I was pissed.
After all that, I went to the
president’s office to talk with
him about the situation, and was
patronizingly told to go see the
ASI. I did, and some young nerd
in a cheap suit disingenuously
stuck his hand in my face trying
to shake my hand. I didn’t know
the guy, so I declined.
When I asked how the ASI
gave this guy the o k. to sell
this stuff, the guy responded
by saying that they could not
check all of his items. Is that
the same logic that the security
guards had when they allowed
the bombers to hijack the air
planes?
When I told them that if they
didn’t do something about the
situation I would go to the local
and campus paper, they sprang
into action. I was afraid that if I
didn’t say that, they would blow
me off. Anyways, at least the
ASI guys in suits went outside
to look at the items.
But then an even bigger
scene erupted when two vendors
tried to jump my shit. I told the
broad to get out of my face and
she said she wanted to spit on
it. I admonished her by saying,
“you’re from the 60s you should
know better.”
My main points are these:
1. That the ASI was more
concerned about being exposed
for not doing better quality con
trol or being concerned about
what is sold on campus, than
actually doing better screening.
2. That The Pride is the
only independent (and without
any special interests that they,
are beholden to) outlet for the
student body to get any griev
ances voiced.
3. That the wide berth that
the various campus agencies give
to the school newspaper is so
important, that I hope that you
guys continue to expose all the
bullshit and hypocrisy that this
campus abounds in.

ASI Provides Information on Latino/Latina Heritage Month
Editors’ Note: The following
information is running as a letter
to the editor with Eddie Goan's
consent, because the information
came in after deadline, but we
felt it was important to provide
his information to students.
Dear Pride Editors,
First of all, I want to apolo
gize to all of you about the late
ness of this information due to
personal circumstances beyond
my control. I realize that you
will probably receive this infor
mation too late to print in the
correct edition. Yet, I think it
is important that I relay this
information to you anyway.
On Mon. Oct. 15 MEChA
president Isabel Solis and Sylvia
White helped organize a studentoperated tamale table, and had
the Latino Music Radio Station,
KLQV-Kluv, come out for stu
dents at the Dome plaza from 11
a.m. to 1 p.m.
ASI really appreciated
MEChA’s assistance and partici
pation in putting on this event
to help commemorate Latino/
Latina Heritage Month. On Wed.
Oct. 17, ASI Programming put
on a Latino/Latino Food Festival
at the Dome plaza from 11a.m.
to 1 p.m.
However, due to last minute
circumstances beyond the ASI
Programming Committee’s con
trol, we were unable to bring
local Latino/Latina food ven
dors up to our campus with food
samples for students as we had
originally planned.
Therefore, my committee’s
concession chair, along with the
vice-chair, set up a free nachos
table, compliments of ASI,- for
students, faculty, and staff at
the event. Also, the Latin rock
band “Emaue” played on stage
for everyone’s enjoyment.
Finally, ASI was proud to
present Silverio Haro as a guest
speaker at this special Latino/
Latina Heritage Month event.
Silvario Haro is newly appointed
to the Palomar College Board
of Trustees, the first Latino in
over a decade. He is currently
finishing up course work on his
doctorate from Harvard and is
the graduate adviser at CSUSM.
He is a definite friend of the stu
dents and ASI and we were hon
ored to have him contribute to a
worthy and beneficial event.
Thank you for your interest
and support. As the new pro
gramming committee chair, I
feel it is important to make
myself accessible to The Pride
and CSUSM’s students as well as
to my fellow ASI programming
committee members. Thank you
very much for your interest and
support with regards to ASI
Programming.
Sincerely,
Eddie Goan

After months of practice and
competition, dstJSM’s men’s
soccer players finished out their
season Sunday. Both the play
ers and coach Khalid Al-shafie
agreed that this season was a
good learning experience.
“We learned teamwork and
how to build better communi
cation,” said Antonio Zepeda, ar
junior majoring in liberal stud
ies. “But we need more players
for tryouts next season.”
Al-shafie said he believed the
team needed to work on attend
ing more practices and condition
ing themselves for next season.
He added, “Some of the things I
learned from this season were to
look for more players and to be
more demanding, as far as com
mitment.”
Compared to last year, how
ever, he said the team has
improved. “Last year, we didn’t
win any games,” laughed Alshafie.
The team played their last
game of the season on Sunday,
against USC. The score was not
available by press time. This sea
son, the team won four games,
lost four and tied one game (not
including Sunday’s game).
SCOREBOARD
Cal State San Marcos’ men’s golf team competed at the
Elco, Inc. Intercollegiate Tournament, hosted by Cal State
Bakersfield on Oct. 29 and 30.
The team placed 14th, with a final score of 911 (+59).
The CSUSMmen’ soccer team ended the season on Sunday, with a game
s
against USC. The players and Coach Khalid Al-shafie said they are hopeful
about next season, and plan to recruit more players. (Pride File Photo)
“The players learned a lot
from each other by working
with one another,” said Joseph
Cafiero, the team captain.
Al-shafie reflecting on the
season, said, “I think we could
have worked harder. It’s frustrat
ing to get players to show up to
practice.” „
Zepeda expressed his dis
appointment that sofne CSUSM
students, faculty, and staff did
not know about the men’s soccer
team. “I hoped that our school
and ASI would spread the word
a little bit more, putting up more
banners and posters saying that

Undocumented Student Bill
under Review with CSU
» A rticle cont. from pg. 3
The governor’s approval gives
hard-working California immi
grant students an opportunity
to achieve their dreams and con
tribute meaningfully to our soci
ety.”
Currently, this bill will only
affect the CSU and the com
munity college systems that sup
ported the bill. The bill does
not include the Universities of
California; however, the UC
Board of Regents is expected to
vote on this measure.
Heckman confirmed that the
bill would go into effect January
2002. The bill does not provide
financial aid for students.
“There’s no financial aid provi
sion in this bill. It only includes
in-state fees,” said Paul Phillips,
director of the university’s finan
cial aid office.
Lawmakers, however, still
need to clarify the AB540 bill.
“The CSU Board of Trustees
will sit down to discuss these
issues in a few more weeks,”
said Heckman.
At this time, CSUSM offi
cials do not know how the new
bill will be put into effect. “I
am waiting for a memo from the
Chancellor’s office to know how
the CSUs would enact the bill,”
said Heckman, whose office
of Registration and Records is
responsible for checking appli
cants’ residence statuses.
In addition, there are some
requirements that students need
to fulfill to become eligible
to pay the in-state fees. First,
students must have attended a
California high school for at least
three years. Second, they must
graduate from a California high
school. Third, they need to
begin or have begun their higher
education by fall 2001. Fourth,
students need to sign a statement
stating that they have applied for
permanent resident status at the
Immigration and Naturalization
Services, or that they will do so
as soon as they become eligible.
“They need to prove that they
are in the process of becoming
legal residents prior to the sign
ing of this statement,” said Phil
lips.
Heckman also added that
since the day the bill passed,
the office of admissions has
received many phone calls from
high school counselors who want
more information about this new
law.

Anthrax Scare On Campus
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer
Campus Police received a
phone call at approximately 11
a.m. Wednesday from a student
who had discovered a white,
powdery substance in the men’s
bathroom on the second floor
of University Hall, and wasfconcerned about the possibility of
the powder being anthrax. Sgt.
Bill McCullough of the Campus
Police arrived at the scene, and
after observing the questionable
substance and securing the rest
room, determined that it was not
anthrax.
The fire department was
then contacted, as well as the
Department of Environmental
Health, Hazardous Materials
division. “The air conditioning
systems on the 2nd floor of
University were shut down
immediately,” said McCullough.
The entire second floor was
also barricaded. “We knew right
when we looked at it that it
was baby powder,” explained
McCullough, after observing the
substance. “The fire department
and Hazardous Materials thought
the same thing.”
Nick Vent, of the County.
Hazardous Materials Division,
tested the white substance with
an anthrax kit. With the results
from the anthrax testing, Kent
concluded that the material was
baby powder. Vent said that
anthrax calls are rare; however,
since recent anthrax scares, the
Hazardous Materials Division
has been on alert for powdery
substances, and they have
responded to numerous false
alarms.
“Hazardous
Materials
responded to two anthrax calls
in the last two years,” said
McCullough.
“They
have
responded to over 100 calls since
the anthrax scare started last
week.”
He advised, “If something
is out of place, such as a large
amount of powdery substance in

[ if there is] any mail that is
suspicious in nature, you should
give us a call at public safety.”
Another incident occurred
in Craven Hall around the same
time that University Hall was
under inspection. “A student
opened an old envelope that was
dusty,” explained McCullough.
The recent anthrax incidents in
Florida and New York have put a
strain on the U.S. Postal Service,
and the CSUSM Mail and Copy
Center (MACC). All mail clerks
on campus are paying close
attention to the shape of pack
ages, looking to see if there is
any substance leaking from the
package and checking for return
addresses.
If the package or envelope
has any of these characteristics
and .there is a return address,
the MACC sends the piece of
mail back. If there is no return
address, or if it seems overtly
suspicious, the MACC may con
tact the authorities.
The normal policy for
packages that have inadequate
address information is for mail
clerks to open the mall and fig
ure out where they will be deliv
ered on campus. Now, the pack
ages must be sent back. “This
policy will be in place until
either we hear otherwise from a
school policy or higher figure ”
said mail clerk Marge Cocoran.
Clerks who work at the MACC
must also wear gloves while
sorting mail, which is a newly
implemented practice. “We have
had these precautions since the
Unibomber incident, but we
haven’t had to use them until '
now,”
said
Cocoran.
In light of the general panic
and false alarms concerning the
anthrax scare, McCullough said:
“It is better to be safe than
have something that is, in fact,
anthrax. If there is any question,
call public safety.”

meditation helps reduce stress,
feelings of anxiety and anger,
improves circulation (through
deep breathing), and promotes
clarity of mind.
The meditation lasted 30

Poullard also discussed the

have never been on a
campus where so many students
work so many hours a week,”
said Poullard about the
scheduling problems that many
CSUSM students face and which,
according to the club representa
tives, have been an obstacle for
more students who might want
to get involved in campus life.
He also asked club represen
tatives to give their reasons why
they joined a student club. Some
of the reasons given were to
build a resume, to have a sense
of belonging, and for a social
life.
Later, in Palm Court,
Poullard held an icebreaker game
for the club representatives,
which allowed them to introduce
themselves to one another.
“He was just basically show
ing how clubs should com

achieve certain goals,” said Nick
Grafstrom, Chairman of Young
Americans for Freedom.
Before the meeting, the club
representatives were given a free
luncheon catered by PowerSurge
Cafe in Palm Court.
Julie Wright, Coordinator of
Clubs and Organizations, said
that in upcoming ICC meetings,
fundraising information and
guidelines will be discussed. The
next ICC meeting will be held

crimes, but also encouraged peo
ple to realize that terrorism goes
on everyday around the world.
Another listener mentioned
her fear of Middle-Eastemers in
the wake of the tragedy, to which
Patel responded, “The majority
of Middle Eastern people have
come out and condemned these
attacks.”

Patel also said “it’s impor
tant [to figure out] what we can
do, even if it’s just reaching
out a hand and publicly stating
that we are in solidarity - it’s
the best way we can move for
ward.”
“We need to create a differ
ent atmosphere, community and
world,” Patel said.
Orzala Sharif, a member
of the group Afghan American
Youth, echoed many of Patel’s
sentiments, “We fervently con
demn the Taliban and extend
sympathy to the victims ... The
Taliban and Afghan should not
be used interchangeably.”
Sharif called the Taliban “a
wild group of trained militia
who destroyed the spirit, cul
ture, and history of the Afghan
people.”
Sharif also shared some of
Afghanistan’s history and cul
ture, before the Taliban took
control. “Women used to dress
as I am dressed today. We’ve
always believed in education, a
civilized way of life. Women
voted; we had a constitutional
monarchy —it was not always
what’s depicted on TV today ”
Several others who spoke
also mentioned U.S. involvevment with the Taliban and other
governments, encouraging the
audience to remember the facts
about the history of the U.S.
Sociology professor Sharon
Elise, who asked the audience to
question the events since Sept.
11, and their portrayal, said, “It
may be decades before we know
what’s going on. There is always
an answer, contrived, packaged
and handed to us [by the media
and the government.]”
“It was the same thing with
Panama and Noriega, Guatemala
- the U.S. has a very long and
interesting history. The answers
aren’t going to come out of the
television.”
Ricardo Favela, a member of
M.E.Ch.A., but who spoke as a
student rather than a club mem
ber, also spoke out about exam
ining U.S. policies, and ques
tioned the motivations behind
“America’s New War.”
“I hope this war is sincere -r
a war against terrorism and not
people,” said Favela. “If we’re
going to have a war on terrorism,
we need to acknowledge fronts,
the terrorism that goes on [on
a smaller scale] everyday. Many
people experience terrorism on
a daily basis across the world
- racism has always manifested
itself in the form of terror.”
Favela went on to offer
examples of terrorism that
minority groups continually
face, including the recent U.S.
citation for violation of human
rights due to border policies.
Many of the audience mem
bers, students and faculty alike,
chose to speak out simply as
individuals at the forum, despite
their various involvements in
clubs, groups and other organi
zations.
Student Honee Folk includ
ed some personal background
about discrimination, and shared
a story about her mother’s expe
riences, during WWII and today,
as a minority.
“I know what it feels like,
and I know many of you know
what it feels like [to be dis
criminated against.] Don’t get
so far removed that you allow
yourselves to do this to other
people.”
“We are focusing so much
on ‘them” ’ Folk continued, “and
so many people .are doing what
we had to fight so hard, so
often, against in the past.”
Dr. Sharon Elise, a Sociology
professor, spoke at Tuesday’ forum.

Only a few other students
spoke out, and Elise encour
aged the audience to continue
to speak, to ask the questions
that need to be addressed. “Your
silence will not protect you,”
Elise said. “We better get people
speaking, and thinking, even it’s
only to ask more questions.”
Steve Weiner then chose to
ask Elise her views on Louis
Farrakhan. Elise replied, “I don’t
think Farrakhan is significant
in this. People say stupid shit
[alluding to Farrakhan], and
those of the same ethnic back
ground seem to be associated
with those who say stupid shit.”
Elise continued, “These are
not the questions that need to be
asked. We need to think about
people who have power over
minds, media and the military,
not people who get media atten
tion which is then used against
us.’?
�Davis Signs Diverse Legislation
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
In a rush to meet las
Sunday’s deadline for the 2001
state legislation session, Gov.
Gray Davis, amid controversy,
signed 948 and vetoed 169 o:
1,117 proposed bills sent to the)
California Legislature. The bills]
included a wide variety of pro
posals, from telemarketing bam
and elementary school food t
gun control and gay rights.
The issues proving to be thd
most controversial are changes in)
a wide range of gay rights lawsj
new gun control regulations, andj
stricter environmental laws.
Proponents of gay rights wel
corned the new legislation signe
by Davis. Judith Stacey, a sociolo
gist at the University of Souther:
California, said, “Marriage is ai
ever-changing institution, even
though most people don’t realize
it.” Passed by the minimum
amount of votes needed, the bill
legally aligns same-sex marriag
es closer to traditional marriag
es. In addition, the bill grants
legal power to older heterosexualpartners, allowing each partner
to make medical decisions on
behalf of the other and take sick
leave when such a situation aris
es.
*
Opponents of the new leg
islation said they believe such
laws will undermine society and
promote unstable family struc
tures. Randy Thomasson, execu
tive director of the Campaign for
California Families, said, “People
voted to protect the rights of
marriage. This is chipping away
Gov. Gray Davis signed 948 new bills and vetoed 169 last week.
( Courtesy Photo/Gov. Gray Davis web site)
at that.”
Amid objections from the
NRA
; (National
Rifle
Association), Davis also signed a
bill supporting new gun control
standards. The new bill requires
prospective buyers to not only
provide a fingerprint, but to pass
a written test, and then show an
instructor they have necessary
skills to fire a weapon properly.
Davis also passed a law, which
now allows a database to be set
up, identifying gun owners who
legally purchased firearms and
later became ineligible for own
ership.
Further controversy ensued
when Davis signed three new bills
in favor of advocates for stricter
environmental regulations. The
first bill forces developers to con
form to standard rules when they
subdivide land prior to develop
ing. This law is to keep develop
ers from using out of date prop
erty records to raise property
value by avoiding newer zoning
maps.
The second bill places a $2.6
billion bond in the hand% of
California voters. If it is passed
in March, the bond will allow
the state to sell
bonds to fund
state and local
parks projects.
And
third,
Davis vetoed a
bill that would
have allowed antiquated oil plat
forms to be left in the ocean for
artificial reefs.
. Oil companies said they
believe the platforms would not
cause harm to the marine envi
ronment and thought the plat
forms would eventually serve as
a breeding ground for fish and
other marine life. Environmental
supporters of the bill said they
believe that the possibility of
harm “outweighs any doubtful
benefits” said Warner Chabot,
Vice President of the Ocean
Conservancy.
Closer to home, Davis vetoed
a bill that would have allowed
San Diego County to form an
independent energy utility. Davis
contends that San Diego resi
dents must pay their fair share
of the $10 billion used during
the energy crisis. Opposing San
Diegans believe they shouldn’t
have to pay for Gray’s poor deci
sions regarding power. San Diego
Supervisor Bill Horn said, “It’s
time to pull the. governor’s plug.”
Davis also vetoed a bill that
would have stimulated California
farming. .The bill would have
required hospitals and prisons to
use California grown produce.
Instead, Davis will be using a $5
million dollar advertising cam
paign next spring to try to get
Californians to eat more locally
grown food. Assemblyman Simon
Salinas, who represents an area
of dense farming, said, “I think
in general it would have been
symbolic to say ‘we support our
California agriculture.’”
In less controversial legisla
tion, Davis signed a bill that by
2003 will give people the right,
and a way, to avoid telemarket
ing. The bill will give telephone
customers a choice to pay a $1
fee and be placed on ^ “do not
call” list. “In today’s busy world,
we need as much peace and quiet
as possible,” said Davis.
Davis also passed 13 new
crime bills, including one that
will fine adults who leave chil
dren in cars without supervision,
and another that weighs old con
victions, like DUIs, when sen
tencing again for the same crime.
He also passed new higher nutri
tion standards for food being pro
vided to students at public ele
mentary and middle schools.
Unless otherwise specified or
a statewide vote is needed, most
of these new legislative bills
go into effect Jan. 1, 2002.
Those who would like more infor
mation about new state bills
are asked to visit the Official
California Legislative web site at

�Bob Dylan Plays the Old and the New in San Diego
By CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
Dear Mr. Bob Dylan,
I wanted to write you
a note to express my thanks for
your recent appearance here in
San Diego. This was the third
time I’ve seen you (remember
the first time in Halifax, Canada,
when your show got postponed
two days because of a snow
storm? I had driven five hours
to see the show and had to stay
for it, so I holed up in my buddy
Steve’s drafty apartment, wait
ing, smoking hash and playing
cards). I got better seats this
time.
You began promptly at
eight, opening the show with
“Wait for the Light to Shine”
— a song :you didn’t even write.
Somehow it fit though. You
walked right out in your match

all bones and angles. The rest of
the band filled in around you like
the ghost riders in the sky Willie
Nelson sings' about. 1 noticed
how Charlie Sexton (does he
really play rhythm guitar for
you?), discreetly picking away on
his cherrv-red Gretsch “Country

off you. I wonder if you are as
difficult a bandleader as they
say.
I still find it hard to

aF” Words Are Special in “My First Mister”
By STEPHANIE BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Life isn’t easy if you’re
a goth grrrl stuck in a “Clueless”
world.
In “My First Mister,” Jennifer
(Leelee Sobieski), or J, as she
likes to be called, is a pierced,
tattooed, 17-year-old goth chick
who is a self-made misfit at
school and at home. She writes
her own eulogies and watches
people through opera glasses,
which distort (with the help of
funny special effects) her view
in an Ally McBeal kind of way.
J uses her sharp wit to hide from
people and from the lover she
thinks she doesn’t deserve.
After failed attempts to get a
job at the mall (a place J abhors),
she meets Randall (Albert
Brooks), nicknamed R. Randall,
a 49-year-old single, straightlaced, uptight, “nice guy,” who
has a secret that keeps him from
making personal connections and
commitments. Randall gives J a
job .at his menswear store on the
condition that she “takes the sil
verware out of her face,” because
she is “scaring the customers.”
(J responds to this by yelling to
a passerby, “Bool”)
J and Randall begin a some
what awkward, but often touch
ing, relationship.
The humor in “My First
Mister” often comes from J and
the way she sees the world.
Humor is an important element
Leelee Sobeiski and Albert Brooks star in “My First M ister” (Courtesy Photo/Myfirstmistermovie.com)
for this story, because without
humor the movie would be.taking
itself too seriously, and some of
the more depressing moments in
the story would be overwhelm
ing.
With or without her opera
glasses, J’s perspective is unique.
In one scene her mother drives
her from school, and through
the glasses J sees her talkative
mother as Gene Simmons in full
Kiss makeup, tongue unfurled in
all its glory. In another scene, J
gives a class presentation about
her life, and she sees her class
mates with their heads down,
asleep on their desks, and so
bored that they can’t even stay
awake to listen to J talk. Another
funny moment is when Randall
tells J how to sort and arrange
the items in the back of the store,
and she sees his balding head on
top of a posing body builder.
Thankfully, the sexual com
ponent of J and Randall’s rela
tionship is only touched upon
when J wonders what it would be
like to have an older lover.
In her wondering, J pictures
Randall as her lover: the middle-
aged Randall dressed in black
from head to toe, dancing, and
grooving through the coffeehouse
which J frequents. “My lover, I
like the sound of that,” said J.
After some bumbling moments,
both J and Randall realize that
their relationship should not and
cannot go further than a friend
ship. Any more sexuality in their
relationship, and the audience
would be squeamish — none of
us want to see our moms or dads
dating someone our age!
This movie could be passed
off as a typical “coming-of-age”
movie, but it is more than that —
it is funny and warm, with tender
performances by both Sobieski
and Brooks. Their relationship
reminded me of the relationship
in “Harold and Maude,” between
the optimistic Maude and the
morbid Harold. Their odd rela
tionship was the basis for a movie
about the strength and depth
of love, and “My First Mister”
has the same message. Unlike
“Harola and Maude,” neither J
nor Randall see the beauty in
the world, but when they find
each other, they realize that there
are reasons to live the best life
possible.
As J, Sobieski takes a notice
able turn from the tall, blonde,
all-American teenager she has
played in recent movies. She is
raven-haired, raccoon-eyed, and
dreary in all black. But she has
the thoughtful, poetic, sheltered,
brooding J down pat. And with
Albert Brooks as Randall, the
two actors create an interesting
chemistry of two misfits and a
father/daughter on screen. It’s
hard to understand what they
would ever have in common, but
they pull off the relationship.
And as for those special “F”
words in the movie? Fate, friend
ship, and family. You’ll have to
see the movie to find out what
the rest are.
“My First Mister” is direct
ed by Academy-award winning
actress/director Christine Lahti.
The movie is rated R.

Balloons, bratwurst, and
bands were some of the many
features of last week’s German
Festival.
Coordinated
by
CSUSM’s German Program and
German Club, and sponsored by
Associated Students, Inc., the
Students experienced many
multi-cultural awareness activi
ties last week, with not only the
German Festival, but also the
Latino Food Festival, which cefebrated Latino Heritage Month.
The ASI programming com
mittee sponsored the Latino
Food Festival and concert on
Wed., from 11 am . to 1 p.m. at
the Dome Plaza.
The rock band “Emaue” per
festival had a carnival-like atmo
sphere.
German band, Guggemusik
Altossema Rhoigeischda, from
Heidelberg, performed, wearing
flamboyantly designed outfits
that included capes and green
tinsel. Their appearance is influ
enced by their travels to Carnival.
“Our self-made costumes really
formed and in between sets stu
dents also enjoyed music from
Radio Latina. There was a food
mmm
tasting table set up, where many
students sampled foods from
local restaurants. Chips and salsa
were a favorite snack for the stu
dents that day.
Students may also look for
ward to a larger celebration of
cultural heritage with El Dia de

Dead), which will be held on “Emaue, a Latino rock band, performed fo r the students.

said member Holger Schertel,
who described the five-year-old
band as amateur, with an offtone style.
Other bands,
including
Rivers of Babylon, O La Paloma,
and Autobahn, also played dur
ing the three-day long festival.
Dr.
Astrid Ronke,
”
German Club adviser, said she
was enthusiastic about students
learning the German language,
and saw the festival as one way
for individuals to, learn more
about the culture.
Terence Jaffer, a sopho
more and business major, had
taken one of Ronke’s German
classes. “The German Program is
growing on campus and becom

so much in her class and wished
it was offered as a minor.”
In celebration of the
German festival, The Dome
offered meals of Wiener schnit

and soda for $4.29.
�R acism Forum and Student Grievance Campus
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
First of all,- I want to voice
my opinion as a student, not as a
representative of The Pride.
The racism forum sponsored
by the student newspaper on
Tuesday at Founders’ Plaza
turned out well, but not as many
students showed up as I would
have liked. To the students that
did come, however, I thank you
all and I am very glad that you
are taking the time to hear other
opinions, voice your own, and
create a sense of community on
this campus.
However, I was extremely
disappointed when I opened the
North
County
Times on
Wednesday morning. Two stu
dents actually took the time to
hunt down the N CT reporter
to complain that they were not
represented, but neither student
bothered to speak at the forum.
In fact, I only saw one of them in
attendance, and that student left
in the middle of the forum.
I want to address a couple
of problems with thisF irst, all
students were welcome to speak
and be represented. That is the
point of an open forum.
Yes, we did have a few speak
ers — not panelists as Darren
Marks, one student who com
plained, suggested. This was not
a panel discussion closed from
outside student voice. The forum
included a few speakers who are
active in anti-racism discussions,
events, teachings, and so on. Not
everyone that should have been
represented was represented at
the forum, for several reasons.
One, many schedules conflicted
with the time of the forum. Two,
many people did not show up to
speak to represent themselves,
particularly the two students that
complained they were not invit
ed.
“The “
point” o f a
forum is for students to
voice their opinion. Not
to stay silent to the stu
dents, then complain
behind their backs.”
Everyone was invited. We
sent an e-mail out to all faculty
and staff. (We were not, how
ever, able to e-mail all students).
We posted and distributed fly
ers; we placed flyers in mail
boxes, particularly the Student
and Residential Life club mail
boxes. We also sent an e-mail
out to the Inter^Club Committee
listerv, so that all clubs could
be informed at one time. We
encouraged everyone to come to
the forum and speak, either as an
individual or as a representative
for an organization.
But, as student Darren Marks
stated to the N CT reporter, “I
think the forum was hijacked
by one political group and it
was not a true forum. I agree
to an extent with what the other
speakers said but I think the idea
of why we were gathering, the
people who died in those build
ings, was sold short.”
First, the reason we gathered
at the forum was not about the
tragic loss at the WTC. It was to
deal with racism issues. Yes, of
course WTC is involved in the
larger issue, but that was not the
reason for the forum.
Second, I spoke with Marks
moments before he ran to the
press, and invited him to speak
once the speakers were finished.
He wanted to be part of a panel.
I explained that we did not have
a panel but a forum, and that he
was welcome to speak once the
next person was finished. He did
not. In fact, he left the forum
early.
The “point” of the forum
is for students, such as Marks,
to voice their opinion. Not to
stay silent to the students, then
complain behind their backs.
Marks pointed out in the
N CT that our forum was not
a true forum. What is a true
forum?
A forum is defined in
Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate
Dictionary as “a public meeting
place for an open discussion or
a medium (as a newspaper) of
open discussion or expression of
ideas.” Our racism forum was a
true forum, as are the opinion
pages of The Pfiide.
A panel is defined as a group
of persons who discuss a topic
of public interest before an audi
ence. A panel is more restrictive
in terms of allowing audience
participation. This is not what
The Pride wanted.
Marks failed to mention to
the N CT that the last open cam
pus forum that was held was
designed as a panel, a panel that
he sat on.
The Pride did invite a few
speakers as a means of keeping
the discussion going. I am glad
that the speakers came, and
especially glad that the Afghan
American Youth Organization
came to our campus and spoke.
As for Marks’ comment
about political hijacking, this is
ridiculous. Of course. there are
politics involved — the issue is
inherently political in nature —
but the forum was not affiliated
with a particular political party
or faction.
Erik Caldwell, a representa
tive for the College Republicans,
claimed in the N CT article that
he was not invited to speak as a
representative of his club. Again,
check the ICC listerv. And next
time there is a forum, please
attend and feel free to speak.
Beat
At the graduation open forum, two
weeks ago, students concerned about
the recent administrative decision to
relocate next semester’s graduation cer
emonies to the Del Mar Fair Grounds
had the opportunity to speak out. How
ever, Founders’ Plaza remained nearly
empty that day.
“Why is it that most students say
they dislike the university’s decision
in moving graduation off campus, yet
hardy anyone supported the forum in
attendance?”
By JUSTIN ANDREWS
Pride Staff Writer
I have received many e-mails from
students expressing their concern. I
would not call the lack of students at
the forum apathy. I know many stu
dents could not attend. It’s the lack of
administration attendance that shows
the underprovided sense of community
here on campus. This is against our five
basic core values, our mission state
ment, and Alexander Gonzalez’s .con
vocation address.”

Letters to the Editors
Call for
Activism
My purpose in writing this
brief letter is to encourage addi
tional activism on the part of the
CSUSM community: students,
faculty and staff. It is not enough
to react to events in the world.
For our own survival, as part of
the human race, we need to pre
vent man-made disasters wher
ever they may occur: oppres
sion and injustice, which lead
to terrorism/war. The Internet
offers us a means to become
informed as well as involved.
I would like to recommend sev
eral websites:
To find out how the U.S.
and other nations stand on the
issue of human rights : aiusa.org
(Amnesty International) and
humanrightswatch.org;
To learn about the plight of
Afghan women (who oppose a
government by either the Taliban
or the Northern Alliance):
rawa.org;
To contact the President’s
office and Congressional mem
bers: congress.org.
I would also like to encour
age everyone to read an editorial
by Jonathan Schell, “Annihilation
and the Ways of Peace,” which
now appears at thenation.com,
and to watch “Link,” an inter
national television channel, that
offers multiple perspectives from
around the world.

After all the violence that has
been going on lately in the news,
I picked Up the current Pride
and started reading. I got to the
article by James Newell titled,
“Surfing a Way of Life, Dude.”
The article made me smile, feel
peace, remember the days, then
laugh. It was great. I could see
Jeff Spicolli or Jim talking about
surfing. I felt the calm of the
sea. I don’t surf, but I felt it. We
needed this story at time like this.
Thanks a lot, Jim. Good job.

The United States was found

and equality. CSUSM is a public
institution in the United States;
why then are policies at CSUSM
decidedly unequal?
Parking at CSUSM can cur

should we not be treated as
equals? Not at CSUSM, appar

It is certainly understand
able that those who are disabled
have the ability to park in the
closest spaces. Parking for dis
abled persons is a reasonable
accommodation to provide for
those who need it, and according
ly, many people at CSUSM take
advantage of the special parking
spaces accordingly, teachers and
students alike.
What is wrong, however, is
the special privileges granted to
staff, faculty, and administra
tors. These people do not need to
receive better access to prefera
ble parking spaces than students. Arguments
to drag a great deal of material
to class every day, and arrive on
time. If teachers and admin
istrators cannot plan success
fully to get themselves and their
belongings where they need to
be on time, they are lacking
skills necessary for their job.
Parking space location should
not be a bandage to cover up for
laziness or poor time manage
ment anymore than it should be
used to create special privileges
for special (unequal) people.
The solution is simple. End
the use of special lots or spaces
for anyone other than disabled
persons. If President Gonzalez
or anyone else feels a need to join
the parking elite, they should cut
off their foot, and get a blue
placard for using disabled park
ing spaces.

Green placed 131st.
The cross-country season
began more than month ago
on Sept. 8, when the Cougars
competed in the UC Irvine
Invitational. The men’s team
placed fifth out of 16 teams,
and the women’s team placed
14th out of 18 teams.
On Saturday, Sept. 15, the
Aztec Invitational was can
celled due to the terrorist
attacks on Sept. 11.
“Since we didn’t run that
weekend,

Saturday, Sept. 22, we com
peted at UC Riverside,” said
Steve Scott, head coach for the
cross-country team.
The men’s team placed
second out of 24 teams that
Saturday, and although the
women had a slow start, they
finished 14th out of 25 teams.
“We have a strong team
this year, as long as all the ath
letes are healthy,” said Scott.
On Saturday, Sept. 29, the
Cougars raced at the Stanford
Invitational. The women’s team
finished 12th out of 19 com
peting teams, arid the men’s
team finished 12th out of the
28 teamSj
“The results of this invi
tational are part of the mid-sea
son low, as some of the athletes
are injured, tired and stressed,”
said Scott. He also added that
most of the athletes are full
time students who work.
“We’re trying, working
hard and doing good, but I
know we can and will do
better,” said freshman Manal
Yamout.

T H l ACCESS CRISIS; A combination of skyrocketing enrollment
and inadequate funding threaten die very mission of the CSU as the
'People's University.* Funding reductions have sharply reduced
course offerings, leaving many students, both full and part time,
unable to access the courses necessary for graduation. Rather than
find real solutions to the access crisis, typical administration responses,
such as raising entrance standards and excluding students who need
remediation, only serve to limit access to deserving students.
THE FISCAL CRISIS: According to toe California Budget Project,
higher education funding as a proportion of toe State’s General Fund
has fallen dramatically. In toe last 20 years, government spending on
CSU has been cut nearly in half, from 6,5% to 3.5%.
CaBf&fnta faculty &s»#eiat!cr
THE ENROLLMENT CRISIS: Over the next few years toe CSU is
expecting an unprecedented wave of new students. Yet toe CSU ,
Administration and toe State Legislature have no real plan to hire
enough full time faculty, librarians, counselors or coaches to meet the
needs ot the growing student population. Between 1994*95 and 2000,
student enrobment has jumped by 35,000 fu( time student equivalents,
^ yet only one new tenuriMraek faculty position has.been added. In fact in
' 20GG there were 1400 fewer terwnHrack faculty in toe CSU than in 1990.
THE FACULTY CRISIS; Instead of tenured faculty, CSU has hired
lecturers, who are not compensated tor counseling, mentoring or
developing curriculum. Sometimes called “freeway flyers* because
they must teach at multiple colleges and universities in order to make
a p n g , these dedicated instructors have no benefits or job security.
At toe same time, tenured faculty salaries are so tow and toe workload
so high that the CSU can’t attract and retain new faculty.

ASI Presents
Plans for
Daycare Center
By TOM CHAMBERS
At Friday's Board of
Director's
meeting
for
Associated Students Inc.,
Susana Gonzalez, Interim
Executive Director, presented
background information on a
childcare grant for the. ASI
Early Learning Center (ELC).
ASI currently subsidizes the
ELC, however the grants would
help alleviate costs to run the
center and would be used to
pay for teachers' salaries.
The ELC is a childcare program for children two to five
years old, and provides care
for the children of CSUSM
students, faculty, staff, and the
community.
At the board meeting,
Gonzalez told of the need for
a site supervisor for the ELC.
The supervisor would teach
in classroom 3, the preschool
class, and would relieve some
of the teachers. The site supervisor would also serve as a
sounding board for ELC
teachers and adult volunteers,
and work in conjunction with
Joyce Williams, ELC Program
Director. The ELC supervisor
should have a master's degree
in human or child development, be an expert in curriculum and counseling, and
have early childhood education
units.
The board plans to pay the
site supervisor with the money
that would have gone to an
ELC teacher who left the center.
Gonzalez also announced
the need for an independent
contractor to assess the ELC.
The contractor would assess
curriculum, staffing, and the
finance of the center.
The costs for the assessment report, travel costs, consultation, and future contact
with the contractor would be
$3,000. There is the hope
among the board that the ELC
will move on campus in a few
years, with plans and a building layout already in progress.
ELC tuition may change,
according to an ELC rep.
Currently CSUSM students pay
either $22 or $15 a day for ELC
tuition, depending on a fullday program or part- day program for their child. CSUSM
faculty and staff pay either $25
or $27 per day, and community
members pay $27 or $18 per
day for tuition.
For The Pride
Faculty members at all 22
Cal State campuses are threatening a strike if current talks
with administrators do not yield
a new contract.
"I think it's highly likely
that we will strike," said George
Diehr, a Cal State San Marcos
faculty member and member of
the faculty's bargaining team.
"There's been no effort to bargain productively or in good
faith."
The California Faculty
Association and the Cal State
administration have been in
negotiations since last April, and
have yet to come to an agreement for the faculty's next threeyear contract. Two weeks after
the current contract expired on
June 30, the Public Employees
Relations Board declared in
impasse in the bargaining. Both
sides are engaging in meetings
with a mediator that could last
through October.
The California Faculty
Association bargains for all
22,000 Cal State faculty in the
state. Cal State San Marcos has
about 150 faculty union members, and 374 total full- and
part-time faculty.

The Cal State administration claims the governor and

As rescue teams in New York
City and Washington D.C. continue to work around the clock
to recover and rescue victims,
several CSUSM clubs have come
together to show their remorse
and support for individuals suffering from the Sept 11 tragedy.
During last week's Business
Expo/Club Fundraising events,
organizations including the
Anime Project Alliance, Sigma
Iota Epsilon, and the Victorious
Club coordinated a flower drive
on Wednesday and Thursday to
raise money. They purchased
approximately 75 roses and 70

which will match $.50 on the
dollar, according to another coordinator, Chris Donahue of Sigma
Iota Epsilon, which is an honorary management fraternity. "If
other clubs want to donate flowers or help maintain the booth, we
welcome them," said Donahue.
"They are also encouraged to
donate by purchasing flowers
from the booth."

If the mediation process does
not yield a new contract, both
sides enter into factfinding - one
representative from each side and
an outside arbitrator will comb
through the issues and make a
recommendation. If a compromise is not reached after the factfinding report is released at the
end of this semester, Diehr said
the faculty would strike.
Cal State administrators say
they are not sure at what point
the administration would give in
should there be a strike.
"It's hard to say," Stivers
said. "If 90 percent of the faculty
go on strike, we would then talk
about how to resolve this."
Last year, faculty at universities in Hawaii went on strike
for two weeks before the administration settled on a contract.
If a university is closed for
more than two" weeks, the
Western Association of Schools
and Colleges will not count the
semester for accreditation purposes.
During the strike, the
Hawaiian faculty union said it
was willing to sponsor student
lawsuits to gain their units back
if the semester was thrown out.
Cal State faculty has never
gone on strike before, and Stivers
said she hopes the situation does
not come down to that.
"I am hopeful that we can
resolve this before it gets to that
point," she said. "In the end, the
people most affected by a strike
are the students."
Diehr said whether or not
there is a strike is up to the
administration, noting that the
chancellor has imposed his own
deal twice before when negotiations where at an impasse.
"They don't believe we will
strike, therefore they don't bargain," Diehr said. "Ergo, we have
to strike."
If the faculty do strike, it
will happen sometime during the
spring semester, after all the
state-mandated bargaining meetings have taken place.

U.S. Economy Deals with Record Losses
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
As New York and Washington
D.C. begin to clean up the debris
and destruction left in the wake of
recent terrorist attacks, the economic ramifications are beginning to unfold.
On Monday morning, Sept.
17, after a four-day closure, the
New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) reopened with a symbolic and humble beginning. New
York Emergency and Fire Rescue
workers rang the opening bell,
signifying the start of trading.
After pausing for a two-minute
moment of silence before the market's opening, Richard Grasso,
Chairman of the NYSE, said,
"This couldn't have happened
without them . .. Our heroes will
now open the market place." The
sound of the bell was almost
muted by the applause of the
crowd.
After an initial plummet, the
market stabilized briefly. At the
end of Monday's trading, the
market showed signs of strength.
Other than drastic drops in insurance, airline, and financial service markets, it was a relatively
average day on Wall Street.
As more information throughout the week pointed to the United
States moving toward war, stocks
continued to fall and trading
ended on Friday with the worst
one-week drop since July of 1933,
during the Great Depression. The
Dow Jones fell 14.2 percent or
almost 1,370 points, equaling
approximately $1.4 trillion in
market value losses.
"Fear was stronger than
greed," commented Beatrice
Black for National Public Radio's
( NPR) Market Place, s umming u p
the feelings around Wall Street.
The mood in New York's financial district was one of uncertainty.
"Anyone who bought yesterday looks like a moron today.
And if you buy today, you're
worried about looking like an
idiot tomorrow. The likelihood of
looking like an idiot next week is
quite high," said Dominic Freud,
of European stocks at S.G. Cowan
in New York, during an interview
o n N PR's Market Place.
Although there is an air of
fear permeating the market, the
travel industry, including airlines
and hotels, is taking the brunt of
the losses. American and TWA
have both halted meal services in
an attempt to save money. 75,000
airline jobs have been cut across
the board. The New York City
hotel industry is reporting a 45
percent capacity, rather than the
seasonal 75 percent. And, hitting
closer to home, Tijuana's downtown sector of three to five-star
hotels report 90 percent of their
reservations have been cancelled
due to border and travel problems, according to Judy Martin
during an interview on NPR.
Congress has agreed on an
immediate expenditure of $5
billion to help bolster the airline
industry, with a promise for $10
billion in loan guarantees. This
is an attempt to reestablish public
confidence and help to return the
United States to a sense of normalcy. Bill Nelson, D. Senator of
Florida, said returning the airline
industry to normalcy is a "very
essential first step" on the road
to economic recovery.
In spite of the negative circumstances in financial areas
around the country, many investors said they believe that the
market will bounce backh and
the drop in stock prices could
actually be a golden opportunity
for some beginning investors.
Looking at past domestic disasters, the drop in market value
following the incidents lasted for
a short time and then rose to even
higher levels, mirroring consumer Confidence.
"We've suffered a direct economic impact, but the ripple
effect is troubling," said Hilary
Rodham Clinton, a D. Senator of
New York, during a CNN interview Friday morning. Rodham
Clinton said that people around
the country need to keep going,
and should not withdraw from
their everyday activities. In an
attempt to alleviate some of the
ripple effect she said, "we need
to tend to everyday business . ..
live our lives."
Second Forum Held at GSUSM t o Discuss Terrorism Attacks
»Article cont.from pg. 1
a member of the American
Council on Education Fellow,
spoke on media and terrorism.
"If we give up our civil liberties
then the terrorists have won,"
said Dr. Bethami Dobkin.
Student Darren Marks, a
senior and member of the student
organization, Young Americans
for Freedom, agreed with Dobkin's statement about not allowing the terrorists to "win" by
giving up civil liberties. "I will
guarantee you that this type of
terrorism will happen again in
the future," he said.
Another student representative, Ricardo Favela, from Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de
Aztlan (M.E.Ch.A.,), also spoke
Thursday afternoon. Favela and
fellow student Isabel Soliz set
up an altar last week as part of
an independent study on Founders' Plaza in remembrance of
those that lost their lives in the
attacks.
Panel members also discussed the racism and violence -
towards Muslims, and people of
Arab descent.
Other professors on the panel
included: Farid Mahdavi and
Patty Seleski, history professors, Susie Cassel, literature and
writing and ethnic studies
professor, Liliana Rossman,
communication professor, Peter
Zwick, Director of University
Global Affairs, Staci Beavers,
political science professor,
Wesley Schultz, psychology professor, and Don Barrett, sociology professor.

Graduation Open
Forum in the Works

the CSUSM stairs. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington)
By STEPHANIE BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Students will notice a bit
more color on campus in the
next few weeks, due to a group
of graduating seniors who are
chalking the steps around the
university to demonstrate their
unhappiness with the university's decision to hold this year's
commencement off campus.
The group of students, led
by Robert McArdle, a senior
and liberal studies major, began
chalking the steps leading down
to the first floor of Craven Hall,
near the flag pole. "Seniors
unite," is now the colorful message that welcomes individuals
as they walk up the steps.
"We want to bring student
awareness to the administration's decision to move graduation off campus," said McArdle.
"We're letting student voices
be heard, when administration
should have done it in the first
place."
The seniors working with
McArdle include Bryan Clark,
Beverly Huss, Alicia Mendivil,
and James Tellez. They have
organized a graduation open
forum for students that will take
place Thursday, Oct. 11 from
11 a.m.-2 p.m. on the steps
of Founders' Plaza, outside of
Academic Hall 102. McArdle
announced the upcoming forum
during the ASI Board of
Director's meeting on Friday.
The open forum will be a
place for students to discuss their
thoughts, complaints, and suggestions concerning the graduation ceremonies, according to
McArdle. Students will have the
opportunity to voice their opinion and create awareness for the
entire campus about the current
graduation plans.
We're hitting seniors first
because it (graduation) will hit
them first," said McArdle. "We
have administrators who said
they'd come to the forum, along
with the Assistant to the
President,
Student
and
Residential Life, ASI."
The students are trying to
find more sponsors for their
cause. They presently have the
Future Educators Club as a
direct sponsor for the graduation forum.
McArdle said that he recently sent out 5,704 e-mails to
students and faculty announcing the need for a graduation
open forum and received 2,166
responses. "I got tons of support. Out of the 2,166 e-mails I
got back, only three were negative," said McArdle. "In half of
those e-mails, I got people who
thought graduation was still at
Palomar."
Commencement 2001-2002
will be held at the Del Mar
Fairgrounds. For more information, contact Robert McArdle at
mcard001@csusm.edu.

"And John Forbes was one
of the most detrimental things
to happen to Indians," said
Eyre, who described Forbes'
earlier movies, like 1939's
"Stagecoach," as portraying
Native Americans with no culture.
Eyre described Forbes' 1964
film, "Cheyenne Autumn," however, as the redemption movie.
"He took back his portrayal of
Indians," said Eyre.
Eyre, who is originally from

Anishinabe-Lakota Indian, who
is considered a political prisoner by Amnesty International.
"It's been on the table for about

"But nobody's stepping up to

Students also asked how
Eyre competes with more highbudgeted films with special
effects, a contrast to Eyre's
"home dramas," as he described
them, and his films, like "Skins,"
which cost $2.5 million to film.
"I read somewhere that when
no one's looking, you can make
a good movie," said Eyre. "So
I make small movies and something that's meaningful to me."

Jazz and Art: C SUSM A rts and Lectures Series
HEATHER VALLENTYNE
Pride Staff Writer
Some of San Diego's top jazz
talents will be featured every
day this week during a noon jazz
festival at the Dome Plaza.
On Monday, we heard the
world-acclaimed alto-saxophonist, Charles McPherson. Tuesday
we will hear jazz guitarist Peter
Sprague, and his own style of
musical magic. Not to worry
though, there are still three
more cutting-edge jazz composers waiting to heat up the mid-day
lunch hour. Classic jazz vocal artist Marguerita Page will perform
Wednesday, Steve Feierabend, a
tenor saxophonist and composer, will perform Thursday, and
the jazz series will conclude on
Friday with Hollis Gentry.
The jazz festival is sponsored by the Arts and Lectures
Series at Cal State San Marcos,
Score Less
By KEVIN HAWK
Pride Staff Writer
Thirty minutes into the
movie, the couple to my right
rose out of their reclining chairs
and briskly walked down the
stairs to the door. Five minutes
later, the man to my left stood
and carelessly jolted across the
isle, knocking over my water as
he fled for the exit sign. Three
minutes later, I leaned forward
in an effort to stand. Reminded
that I had to write a review, I
reluctantly sank back into the
padded chair. Disappointed, I
turned the page on my notepad
and began doodling.
A flash from the movie
screen called for my attention.
There stood Edward Norton.
He began to stumble down
the brick-layered
Montreal street,
voluntarily shaking, head cocked
to one side. My
d isappointment
quickly turned to
interest.
Frank
Oz,
who in the past
has concentrated
on some memorable comedies,
including "What About Bob?,"
decided to play it safe with
his first thriller, "The Score,"
using a plot soiled and washed
so many times, the color has
faded.
"The Score" may have
scored enough points to keep
the game interesting by providing some sparks and suspense in the final scenes, but
when the game ended, Edward
Norton was left empty handed,
scratching his head (don't worry
Edward, you weren't the only
one). Norton's performance
wasn't the reason "The Score"
fell short, but rather it was
an over-used game plan. Even
though Oz recruited an all-star
cast including Robert Dinero
(Nick), Edward Norton (Jack/
Brian), Marlon Brando (Matf),
and Angela Bassett (Diane), how
did he expect his team to win
when the opposition (audience)
knew their every move? He
couldn't.
Nick and Brian both work
for Max, a shameless man who
uses self-pity and whining to
keep Nick active. Max needs
Nick, a polished jewel thief, to
take one last job. Max coordi-
nates an easy plan (easy because
he makes the plan), using Nick
and Brian to retrieve an ancient
scepter held i n. the Montreal
Custom's House that is worth
millions and will solve everyone's problems. Max can pay
off his debts and, in return, live.
Nick, who usually abandons a
job at the slightest insecure feeling, commits anyway. He wants
to pay off his lazy jazz club
and marry his girlfriend Diana
(Bassett). Jack will establish
himself in the jewelry thief business and make more money than
he can spend. It's a win-win
situation for everyone, almost.
The highlight of the movie is
Brian, Edward Norton's character in the film. Brian is
a mentally challenged person
who takes advantage of everyone around him at
the Custom's House,
where he works as a
janitor. Norton's previous
roles,
including a racist,
hatred-filled turned
compassionate character in "American
History X" and a
split personality in
"Primal Fear," have
established him as a
premier actor.
The final heist in "The
Score" goes down in a suspenseful yet abusive fashion; only one
thief escapes with the treasure.
The assortment of equipment
Nick uses to complete the heist
compared in length to the minutes the movie ran: too many.
Nick pulled out gadget after gadget from his bottomless sack.
"The Score" did show one
original quality; much of the
movie focused on the preparation for the heist, which made
for some stagnant scenes, doing
more harm than good. When
Nick and Jack actually performed the heist, I already knew
what to expect. Confused, I
didn't know whether to feel
cheated, or lucky to receive
twice the value of admission.
Frank Oz may have failed
in his first try at a thriller, but
he shouldn't get discouraged.
Moviegoers are very forgiving.
Frank, don't settle on your favorite .hand-me-down shirt, you
already know how it's going to
feel when you put it on. Take
a chance with a new shirt, one
you alone picked out. Take it
home and wear it.

Spike and Mike's Sick and
Twisted Festival:
You'll Laugh, You'll Cry, You'll Gag
By JUSTIN ANDREWS
Pride Staff Writer
What happens when you
mix comedy, creativity, and a
heavy dose of stomach-turning
sex and violence? Well, besides
completely satisfying the typical movie-going American audience, you create "Spike and
Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival
of Animation." Why spend eight
bucks to sit through Hollywood's
latest plot-deficient pathetic
excuse for entertainment, when
you can take that same wad of
cash and witness pure (but not
innocent) animated comedy with
the sick and twisted features we
all secretly desire.
"This year wasn't the best,"
said Farrida Castro, who attended the festival. "On a scale from
one to 10, I give it a seven. But
they showed 'Rejected,' one of
my all-time favorites."
When a few handwritten
words appeared on the screen,
you could feel the audiences'
hopeful anticipation as everyone shifted themselves to the
edge of their seats. The words
read: "A bitter cartoon," by Don
Hertzfeldt. People behind me
were giving high-fives as they
knew what was to come; just then
the image on-screen switched
to one sloppy handwritten title:
"Rejected." Half of the audience
jumped out of their chairs,
cheered, hooted, and laughed,
and that was just the title. Feeling
like friends at a bachelor party
when the huge papier-mache
cake is brought out, the other
half of the audience and I knew
we were in for a real treat.
Stick-figure animation, con-
versation bubbles and cheesy
elevator music, cooked together
with a few clever lines of harsh
relationship-ending cliches and
low-tech violence made for about
the most hilarious two minutes
of my life.
"No Neck Joe" was another
crowd-pleaser, this time starring
a young Joe who,, unsurprisingly, has no neck. These 30-second cartoons sporadically placed
throughout the festival have such
titles as "Joe Go.es Star-Gazing"
and "First Hickey." But these are
definitely not why this festival
boasts "Sick and Twisted" in its
name.
The majority of these animations have graphic and disturbing violence, such as heads ripping off, or mutilation by rabid
animals. A nine-minute animation set in a fancy Italian restaurant, involved several characters
shooting vomit into each other's
mouths, while waiters tried to
drain the building by hand so the
puke wouldn't overflow into the
streets - that was disgustingly
hilarious. There was even a sick
and twisted sexual parody of a
typical preschool book, where
audiences can "See Spot Run,"
and "Watch Spot Hump Jane."
In 1977, Craig "Spike"
Decker and Mike Gribble collaborated to promote underground bands including their
own "Sterno & the Flames." To
make ends meet, they occasionally held all-night horror-a-thons,
showed classic rock 'n roll films
like "Jimmy Plays Berkeley" and
"Quadraphenia," and premiered
original short animations like
"Bambi meets Godzilla," which
soon developed into a cult favor-
ite.
Spike and Mike soon realized the potential in this previously untouched entertainment
genre, and embarked on one
of America's greatest forms of
entertainment when they created Spike and Mike's Sick and
Twisted Festival of Animation.
The annual Animation
Festival began in 1990 and is
growing more popular every
year, despite the unfortunate
death of Mike Gribble in 1992.
The festival is not only a great
form of alternative entertainment, but has also spawned
some of America's most famous
animation superstars, such as
Beavis and Butthead. As for
Comedy Central's hit matureaudience cartoon, South Park,
well, that too started at the
Sick and Twisted Animation
Festival. It is home to "Spirit
of Christmas," the original, uncensored South Park cartoon by
Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
If you're one of the thousands that still cry when Bambi's
mom is shot, avoid this festival;
but if Disney's tear-jerking sagas
failed to touch your heart, then
this version is going to smack

�Ever since the tragic
events of Tuesday, Sept.
11, our world has
changed. Not only on
the grand scale of military action and how we
view our freedom, but
also on our campus. The
anguish felt around the
nation is felt here, as is
the anxious guessing of
what will happen next.
Those feelings have
sparked a lively debate
in and out of our classrooms. Everyone seems
to have an opinion about
what the United States'
next move should be
- either to bomb the
smithereens out of the
Middle East or to
peacefully do nothing
and avert nuclear war.
Others are blaming
Arab Americans and the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Most of those who
speculate in such a
manner do so out of raw

Letters: Stop the Terrorism
To stop the flow of money to bin Laden's
organizations is a matter of national security.
How did someone get enough money together
to pay for the attacks on Sept. 11? Throughout
Saudi Arabia, bin Laden has many "charities" to
which wealthy Saudi businessmen contribute millions of dollars. Where is this money coming from?
Oil. OPEC, of which Saudi Arabia is the primary
organizer, is our main source of oil.
Every time you turn on a light switch, cook a
meal, pave an asphalt road, and run your car, you are
putting money into bin Laden's pocket. What can we
do? Stop buying oil from nations like Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has not spent the money on her people
or land. Our money is not being spent on helping a
country thrive; it's being spent on threatening our
lives.
Who can we call on to change this? Contact
your representatives, senators, and local officials.
We shouldn't have to pay to be terrorized, yet
that is exactly what is going on. (To read the

Correction
During the tragedy of the WTC and Pentagon
terrorist attacks, I made an unfortunate mistake.
I had received a wonderful forward, from many
friends, of a prayer. As a result, like I do with all
forwards, I cut the text from that message and sent
it as a new message to many of my friends.
Seeing as I had also received e-mail from The
Pride, I decided to place that e-mail address on
the list. I had hoped that it would be placed in the
school publication as an e-mail that had been sent
out as a reaction to the terrorist attacks.
However it was published as if I had been the
author of that prayer. I am sorry for the confusion
and wish that I knew who the true author of the
prayer was so that s/he could receive credit.
I thank my family in New York for sending me
the e-mail, and I also thank The Pride for sharing
the e-mail with the rest of the student body and faculty that read The Pride. I feel that the more people
that read this prayer the better; however^ I in no way
mean to take credit away from the true author of the
letter.

Letters to
the Editors
Praise and Condemn?
In this time of national tragedy and grief that American
citizens everywhere are sharing, I am writing this letter
to you to voice my shame
in The Pride. In the article
"Students Respond Differently
to Tragedy," the authors are
blatantly finger-pointing and
showing an irreverence to fellow student's emotions.
While it may be true that
many students needed silence
for reflection and prayer, it is
also important to consider that
other students deal with their
emotions differently. While
some students were trying to
deal with the sheer shock of
the events that were unfolding,
others were angered and their
anger was finding a cathartic
route through music.
How can the authors praise
some students, and yet, condemn others for the way they
chose to come to grips with
the reality of our situation?
The job of journalists is to
present news in a professional
and unbiased manner to allow
for the reader to come to their
own conclusions. The media is
powerful and has the means to
shape readers views and opinions. Please do not abuse this
power by promoting discord
among our students, especially
in a time that calls for unity,
understanding and the freedom of expression among
Americans.

The Critical Thinking Cliche Battle of the Sexes
By JOSEPH SANCHEZ
For The Pride
At first it amused me, but
then the steady bombardment of
it began to upset me. In spite
of all the talk, the implications
were clear: CSUSM only uses
the term "Critical Thinking" as
a cliche. I sat through class after
class, listening to professor after
professor solemnly pontificate
about the importance of critical
thinking, and how that was one
of the central goals of their class,
"I want to help you think critically about these important subjects, etc, etc." Haven't we all
heard this, or is this only the
mantra of the humanities department?
The joke being of course that
we have no philosophy department! We have only two philosophy professors, and one of
them was hired just this year.
As I pondered this humorous
state of affairs, I realized that
there might be more than just
bureaucracy involved. After all,
didn't one of my Lit professors
respond to a claim that he was
contradicting himself with," It's
postmodernism, it doesn't have
to be logical." Now the term
critical thinking does not imply
that an argument need only have
logical coherence, but logic is an
important, possibly foundational, part of it. If postmodernists
have reinvented the wheel (or
questioned its existence), then
why do they keep the term?
Because it empowers them with
the illusion of being real critical
thinkers when in fact they are
just ideological peddlers.
The problem is real. Take
for example the lack of critical
thinking over abortion. The real
issue involved is not the right of a
woman to her own body, nor is it
the moral problem with murder.
Both sides, I think, have basic
agreement in regard to those
issues. The real issue is what
defines a human life? Instead
of engaging each other over this
question each side prefers to ridicule the other. By claiming that
women's rights are at stake, ProChoice thinkers create a false
dichotomy in which they are
the enlightened humanitarians
and Pro-Choicer thinkers are
backwards Neanderthals wishing only to subjugate women.
Similarly, Pro-Choice thinkers
distance others with psychologically devastating claims about
murder and holocaust. Both of
these claims are only potentially
true. They become true if and
only when the unborn fetus is
proven to be either human or
not human. This is where they
should be engaging each other.
This does not necessarily
imply that our society is hopelessly irrational. I simply used
this as a common illustration
that we can all relate to.
Change Payment Plan to Avoid Making
Students Angry and Frustrated
By CONSTANCE CHUA
Pride Staff Writer
The time has arrived and
here we are in a new semester.
Looking forward to meeting new
friends and having a smooth
transition from last semester to
this semester? I hope you had a
nice summef break that will give
you enough energy to fight for
your rights. As a senior here at
California State University San
Marcos, I was very prepared to
register on tiijie to take all my
required classes to graduate. I
registered some time in May of
2001 or June of 2001 and got my
entire schedule set for my school
and work.
When a schedule is set normally it would make a person's
life easier, but not in this case
here at Cal State University San
Marcos.
The reason for that is because
someone suggested to whomever
is in charge with changing our
payment options, that it would be
better if they received funds 10
days after a student registers for
classes.
From a business perspective,
when you buy something you
normally get something out of it,
which is understandable. Which
means, if we register we should
pay our registration fees. However, there should be some kind
of set guideline that is convenient
for students, such as making sure
that if they have a loan, their payment will be deferred, or make
them pay as soon as they attend
classes.
What I mean is that many
student that I have talked to at
the very beginning of the school
semester had to crash all of
their classes due to their classes
being cancelled by the Admissions Office for not paying within
10 days of registration. But for
those of us who are graduating,
it might be difficult to just crash
a class in order to fit our schedules.
On exactly Aug. 21, 2001 2
p.m. in the afternoon, I met with
my close friend, Patrice Labao
here at school to get ahead with
the semester and buy a parking
permit and books. When I came
to the bookstore ready to buy a
book and punch in my Student
ID number along with my code,
the computer screen read, "you
are not registered."
"When a
schedule is
set normally
it would
make a person's life
easier, but
not in this
case here at
CSUSM.'9
I started to panic and hyperventilate. I felt a little mad, to
slightly describe it, blood rushing to my head, and I had a major
migraine. I rushed to the Admissions Office and asked about my
status within this University.
I spoke with a young woman
and she stated, "Well, we dropped
your classes because we did not
receive your payment on time."
I responded, "I have a student
loan here at Cal State and I have
been attending this University a
little over four years and I have
always had a deferred payment."
And she responded, "Why don't
you check with the Financial Aid
Office because it looks like they
needed some information from
you."
I was very frustrated. I felt
like I was betrayed iand neglected.
I stood in line for about 10 minutes until I spoke with a lady
name Hedy. She was a very nice
lady and was very helpful and
told me that she needed more
paperwork from me.
I didn't want to be angry
with her because it was not her
fault that this happened to me.
But as I can recall in the previous
semesters, if the Financial Aid
Office needed some information
from me, then they would mail
me a letter informing me that
they needed additional information. However, they cancelled my
registration as of July 10, 2001
without notifying me.
Not only did it create animosity towards the students and
staff, but also towards students
and Cal State's systematic way
of doing things. Furthermore, as
soon as I got signatures from the
classes that I crashed, the Admissions Office had the audacity to
impose a $25 late registration
fee.
I urge all students who have
or have had the similar situation
as I have to please question our
system. We are talking about
our money here. We all should
carefully examine fees that are
imposed in our registration payment. I suggest that you look at
your printout very carefully and
see how many types of recreational fees they imposed. We,
the students here at California
State University San Marcos can
make a difference, but we all
have to do something about it
now.

Three hundred students, faculty, and staff gathered last

in Founders Plaza

On Friday at noon, more
than 100 students, faculty, and
staff gathered in Founders Plaza
for a moment of silence" on
the national Day of Prayer and
Remembrance.
The CSUSM community
joined thousands of people
around the county to remember
the victims and families of
those affected by the attacks.
Oceanside was one of the cities
that held services, including
a prayer service at the Camp
Pendleton Marine Corps Base
Chapel, where more than 250
people gathered.
Elementary schools and high
schools across the district also
recognized the day with a
moment of silence. State
Superintendent Delaine Eastin
encouraged schools to observe
the moment of silence, calling
the day a time "to reflect on our

Credit Card Marketers to Be Regulated on College Campuses
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
New legislation to regulate
the marketing practices of credit
card companies on California's
college campuses was signed
by California Gov. Gray Davis
on Thursday. The legislation
will require California State
University and the California
Community Colleges to adopt
policies regulating credit card
marketing on campuses.
"I think it's appropriate legislation at this point. I agree
with Gov. Davis," said CSUSM
President Alexander Gonzalez.
"This bill (AB 521) is necessary to stop aggressive credit
card marketing practices aimed
at college students. Credit card
companies induce college students with no credit history to
sign up for cards by offering
gifts. Often they provide these
students with little or no information about the financial responsi-
bilities of owning a credit card,"
said Gov. Davis.
The new policy that each
campus governing board is asked
to adopt includes several requirements:
First, credit card marketing
sites must register with campus
administration, and the number
of sites must be limited. Second,
credit card marketers are prohibited from offering gifts to
students for filling out credit
card applications.
Also, campuses must routinely offer credit card and debt
education and counseling sessions as part of their campus
orientations for new students. In
addition, colleges and universities must utilize existing debt
education materials prepared by
nonprofit entities to avoid the
incurring expense of new materials.
The bill is not a mandate,
but is instead a request for each
campus to consider adopting the
policy requirements. Each university president will receive
the bill information and then
"will look at the suggestions and
see what can be implemented,"
according to Colleen BentleyAdler, spokesperson for the CSU
Office of the Chancellor.
Gonzalez said he feels that
marketing abuse does occur with
students. He told how his older
son, a college student, received a
credit card and spent a great

Relief and Rescue Efforts: What People Can Do to Help
By JENNIFER HOLMES
Pride Staff Writer
With the aftermath of
Tuesday's terrorist attack on New
York and Washington, many people at CSUSM have asked, "What
can we do to help?"
Locally, there are multiple
ways for everyone to help the
survivors, victims, and their family members.
Rescue workers need supplies.
There is still a great deal
of dust and debris, including
tiny glass particles in the air, so
die most important item workers
need is saline solution for their
eyes. Other items in demand are
socks, boots (steel tip), goggles,
non-perishable food items, and
battery chargers for cell phones.
Contact the American Red Cross
for more information at 1-800HELP-NOW.
Donate blood.
The San Diego Blood Bank
said that their supplies have
reached full capacity for now,
but they urge people to donate in
a week or more.
Contribute monetary donations.
Many organizations are
accepting monetary donations,
including the New York City
Fire and Police Departments,
the United Way Fund (phone:
1-212-251-4035), the Salvation
Army (1-800-SAL-ARMY), the
Housing Relief Fund (1-800874-6500), and the American
Red
Cross
(web
site:
www.arcs.org).
On-line donations are also
accepted at www.amazon.com
and www.yahoo.com. These web
sites have set up virtual donation
baskets to help collect funds.
Donations may also be made to
the Mercy Corps, an organization that provides trauma counseling and scholarships for children that have lost parents in the
tragedy.
Support one another.
Many local churches and
religious groups are offering
prayer vigils and group counseling. Check the local paper or log
onto www.signonsandiego.com
for more up-to-date information.
Show your patriotism.
Show pride and devotion for
the U.S. by flying a flag or displaying one on vehicles. White

suspect in a criminal investigation. The designation of "material witness" means that the witness is believed to have highly
pertinent information and may
be a flight risk, according to
NBC reports. The name of this

been released.
NBC news anchor Pete
Williams also reported Friday
night that this witness was one
of 10 who had been detained
Thursday at one of New York's
three major airports. FBI investigators said they believe he knows
more about the attacks than he
has been saying since he was

Williams also reported in
news reports that two men were

arrested Wednesday on suspicion of immigration violations
after they had an argument at an
Amtrak station in Fort Worth.
The men are identified as Ayoub
Ali Khan, 51, and Mohammed
Jaweed Azmath, 47. When arrested, they were carrying $5,000
in cash in addition to a box
cutter, an object believed to be
among the weapons hijackers
used in Tuesday's attacks. Also,
Williams reported that Khan and
Azmath boarded a flight from
Newark, N.J. to San Antonio,
around the' same time of the
attacks on Tuesday morning.
However, their flight was forced
to land in St. Louis when all
U.S. flights were grounded after
the attacks. From St. Louis they
boarded an Amtrak train heading to Texas, where they were
detained and interrogated. After
being interrogated for two days,
they were taken to New York
for further investigation of their
possible connections to the terrorist attacks. U.S. officials have
told NBC that FBI agents are
"fairly confident" that these suspects know about the network
behind Tuesday's attacks and that
it was organized by exiled Saudi
millionaire Osama bin Laden.
FBI officials told NBC
reporters that they presented the.
most promising lead developed
so far in the investigation. NBC's
Jim Popkin reported Saturday
that the FBI raided Khan and
Azmath's former apartment at 6
Tonelle St. in Jersey City, N.J.
Some neighbors said that many
people were taken away for questioning, but an FBI spokeswoman told NBC only that at least
one person had been detained
for interviews with FBI agents
in connection with the terrorists'
attacks. CNN reported that FBI
spokeswoman Sherri Evanina
had confirmed that while searching the apartment, agents came
across two other individuals who
are being questioned.
Law enforcement sources
told CNN reporters that they
believe that the lead group in
Tuesday's attacks may have been
the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. The
chief of this group, the sources
said, is a top lieutenant of bin
Laden. Bin Laden's group, al
Qaeda, is an umbrella group that
allegedly coordinates the actions
of smaller organizations.
The investigation continues
not only in the U.S, but also
around the world. The FBI said
they believe that nine suspects
could have or are trying tofleeto

�CSUSM Students Speak out amidst Tragedy
By JUSTIN ANDREWS
Pride Staff Writer
Last Tuesday will make its mark, not only in history,
but also in the hearts and minds of all Americans. As
we painfully recall images scorched permanently into
our memory, we close our eyes and it is almost as if
we could project that catastrophic Tuesday in the back
of our eyelids.
You will remember where you were when you heard.
You'll know how you felt. You'll remember walking
away from class shocked, mournful, and relieved that
you're ok. As you walked to your cars, as you prepared
yourself for a life-changing day with your television, I
asked you, "What are your thoughts?"
Diego Aguillon: I think
it's really sad that someone
has the heart to do that. You
know, I wonder what's going
to happen politically as soon
as the U.S. finds out who did
this. I mean, I wonder what's
going to come of, it. And my
prayers go to families that lost
loved ones and the victims that
lost their lives.
The Pride: Do you feel safe here?
Diego Aguillon: I feel, overall, we're safe, Southern
California. My only concern is Miramar Base and Camp
Pendleton. I think precautions, now, are being taken
to make sure all of us are safe. Overall I think it's a
tragedy, all those people had to lose their life.
Silvia Alvarado: I personally think that they're laughing at our airport security.
There's no way four people
could get on an airplane and
hijack it without some kind
of inside security problem.
Recently they were doing this
study that a lot of people that
work at the airport, like in baggage claim, get background
checked. I just think it a failure on our airport security system.
The Pride: Do you feel safe here in Southern
California?

Settling in Aix
By LAURA HOPKINS
For The Pride
My room at Les Gazelles
awaited me, but before reaching
it, I first had to lug my two
large suitcases, my laptop and
a carry-on bag up a hill, down
the stairway, and onto the hot
pavement in front of the dorms.
The unsightly building and
four-square foot cubicle where I
laid my bags surely could not
have been the room I imagined
when I dreamt of student life in
Aix, France.
The sweltering heat, combined with travel fatigue and the
sight of the dorms earmarked
for CSU International students
caused me to immediately turn
around and head for the "centre
ville" of Aix-en-Provence. It was
there that I found a hotel room
with a bathroom and shower, and
it was from there that I began my
search for the charming picture
that had hung for so long in my
mind.
I arrived in Aix on Aug.
22 as a student participant of
the California State University's
International Program in Aixen-Provence. The primary objective of this yearlong program,
according to CSU International
Programs officials, is to "enable
participants to gain first-hand
knowledge and understanding of
other areas of the world." The
Aix program includes 56 students from various California
State University campuses who
attend the Institute d'fetudes
Fran^aises
pour
Etudiants
Etrangers (IEFEE), more fondly
referred to as the "Institute."
I began my four-week preparatory language course on
Monday, Sept. 3 at the Institute
after taking my language placement test. My class consists mostly of French grammar, and after
one week of studies, the wheels
are beginning to turn. I'm also
taking a conversational practice
class, which is probably the most
practical, but at the same time,

just outside of town that provides
me with all the charm I need.
It's part of a renovated 18th century home that comes with character and style at noadditional

rustling in the wind and cafe
conversations along the Cours
Mirabeau begin to meld with the
Provencal painting hanging in
mymind.
Addendum: After I wrote
this piece, we received the horn fic news of the terrorist attack
in the United States. There is
great sadness, as well as confusion among the students of the
CSU International Program as
there is, I'm sure, among those
of you at home. There is also
heartfelt mourning and concern
among the French citizens of
Aix.
The media coverage is extensive, with cohtinuous broadcasts
both on radio and television,
The headlines of the local newspaper today, l a Provence,, read,
"I'apocalypse," while half of the
front page was covered with a
photograph of the demolished
Twin Towers and the scattered
remains. There are frequent references to "horror films" and
"science fiction" when describing the images that come our
way.
Our thoughts, feelings, and
speculations run rampant with
questions still unanswered, as
they must for you at home.

Individuals who attended the
forum expressed their feelings
not only with words, but also
with music. "For me, dealing
is processed with music," said
Mtafiti Imara, a visual and performing arts professor. "I want
to share my feelings in that context." He played a jazz improvisation of "Amazing Grace" on a
soprano saxophone for the audience.
Other faculty members also
spoke,
including
Vivienne
Bennett, chairperson for the
Liberal Studies Department.
"Our government has, for years,
perpetrated crimes against
humanity," she said, giving
examples of the U.S.'s past
relationships with Vietnam and
Chile. "But out of adverse circumstances comes opportunity."
During the hour-long forum,
students argued for and against
retaliation by the U.S.

student
Susannah Christopher, who is
also a veteran. "I have the right
to be angry. We need to stand up
for what's right. I don't advocate
hatred or violence, but I don't
advocate the mass murder of my
fellow Americans. We need to
do something. We need to act
swiftly"
Rachel Dena disagreed, "To
strike now, swiftly, with anger,
is foolish. But if you're going
to retaliate, you'd better get the
right people."
Penny Lanese, a computer
science major, said, "The one

Gonzalez said that he made his
son pay it off and that he learned
his lesson. "What happens when
a student doesn't learn the lesson?" Gonzalez questioned.
Gonzalez said that CSUSM
will be looking at the new law
and making the decision on what
requirements they will consider.
"CSUSM will limit stations,
and we will let (marketers) know
clearly that they can't use instru-
ments to get students t o fill
out applications," said Gonzalez.
The most important part will be
to let students know about credit
cards and debt education, according t o Gonzalez. "It's the perfect
example of caveat emptor, buyer
beware," said Gonzalez.
Assembly member Paul
Koretz, a Democrat from West
Hollywood, wrote AB 521.
Another bill was presented last
year but was vetoed. Koretz said
he believed in it and rewrote the
bill because, "marketers are preying on college students," according to Sandra DeBourelando,
Senior Director for Koretz.
DeBourelando said she feels
that the marketing approaches
are "disingenuous [because theyj
try and get students who don't
have a job and wouldn't qualify
in the real world."
Current law regulates credit
card marketing practices, but
not specifically with college students.
because violence begets violence.
Once we start hating each other,
we're going to start hurting our
brother, our friends."
Lanese also spoke about the
recent bombings in Afghanistan:
"There are women there, children there, people who are just as
innocent as we are," said Lanese.
"If we bomb them, then we're
just as bad as the terrorists ...
a person is a person, no matter
how small."
Individuals also spoke, about
embracing diversity.
One student, who identified
herself as a Palestinian-American
student, said, "I feel that I'm
being targeted now. People there
(Palestine) are being killed everyday and people here are getting
killed everyday," she said. "It
(Palestine) shouldn't be taken
back through anger, though, it
should be through talking to one
another."
Jonathan Poullard, Dean of
Students, also addressed the students, "I am an advocate of someone that thinks we're inherently
connected. Oppression is intermittently interwoven, intercon-
nected," he said. "What happens
to me will happen to you. We
need to think in ways that will
promote peace and safety. I think
about when that's going to happen again in our country, or
when it will happen somewhere
else . .. will we have the same
reaction then?"
Rachel Leigh reflected on
the words spoken by the other
students and faculty. "Amidst all
this anger and hatred, we have
the opportunity," she said. "I see
this image of a candle, and how
a single flame can light all that
darkness. We have the opportunity to make that darkness shine.
We have the opportunity"
After the public finished
speaking, Francine Martinez,
Vice President of Student Affairs,
addressed the crowd. "This is the
first time that it's felt like a (campus) community," said Martinez.
"We hear different voices, opinions, but there's also that same
sadness, shock and fear ... and
as you peers have articulately
said, we need to be here for each
other ... find out what we can do
with these intense emotions "

Although the moment of
silence at Cal State San Marcos
was observed on a smaller scale,
with only about 100 people,
some students said they felt that
it was a special moment.
"The bells started ringing,

An Eye for an Eye may Leave Us All Blind
By CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
The paradox of these times
of tragedy characterized by grief,
pain, and loss is found in the birth
of heroism, courage, and compassion emanating from the people
involved. Through the gruesome
test of disaster the human spirit
soars to new heights.
Witness the selfless acts of
rescue workers in New York,
the overwhelming benevolence
of both private and corporate
donors, even the terminally litigious Congress bonding together
in agreement to double the sum
requested by President Bush for
aid.
Around the country, even
around the globe, people are
becoming the support system that
will overcome the devastating
effects of this disaster.
Out of the unimaginable
chaos of the recent disasters
comes tremendous opportunity
to create meaningful change in
our country and in our world.
This time before us is criti-
cal and our response to these
events will have consequences
far beyond what we can envision
f rom where we now stand. If,
as President Bush suggests, we
are committed to eradicating the
horrors of terrorism on a global
scale, then we must commit to a
response that transcends the tenets
of that terrorism.
Hate and violence.
have
spawned the carnage visited upon
us, yet it is the solidarity, courage,
and generosity of
the American public that renders
such hate and violence impotent.
To
avenge
these crimes with the same intent
that conceived them will only
ensure that terrorism will continue in the world.
Annihilating one leader or
even one segment of a terrorist
movement will not in itself end
terror; surely history has shown
us that. Recent history alone pro_ vides ample evidence of new reincarnations of evil: Stalin, Hitler,
Khaddaffi, Hussein and now bin
Laden.
If we are truly committed to
ridding the world of terrorism,
we would do well to investigate,
ity and justice here and abroad.
In continuing to treat perpetrators of terrorism as the disease itself, rather than symptoms
of the disease, we will continue
to underestimate the power it
wields. Have we not repeated
that mistake enough already?
The temptation to take an
eye for an eye as a swift act of
vengeance, seemingly justified
now, may in the long run leave
us all blind. So though we may
be temporarily blinded by grief,
let us not be blinded by hate.
We need each other now
more than anything.
We need to connect with
each other, regardless of race,
religion or any other variable.
We must cultivate solidarity of
the most essential variety: we
are all human beings sharing an
increasingly shrinking planet.
We can be sure that the consequences of global war will be
as indiscriminate in their choice
of victims as the terrorists were.
Let the courage, compassion, and
solidarity we have shown thus
far define our future.

The View from Here
5 p.m., Wednesday,
Sept. 12, 2001.
I walked into my classroom this morning, and found a room full of scared,
worried young women. Classes have only
barely started for this semester, so my
students didn't know me that well yet.
As soon as I came in, they asked, "Are
you from America?" When I said yes,
they asked if I had friends or family in
Washington or New York. I told them I
had friends in Washington, but they were
all right. I said I'd been awake until 3
a.m., to make sure everyone was safe.
And then we just sat and talked.
Forget the lesson plans, and getting into
the meat of the semester. Today wasn't
a day for teaching. The quiz, the editing
and the research guidelines just didn't
matter today.
Being a teacher, part of my job is
to help my students make sense of the
world. Since my students are university
age, at that stage where one minute they
are mature young adults and the next
minute children, I'm here to help guide
them as they sort out their worlds for
themselves - along with teaching the
subject matter in my class description,
of course.
How can I help them make sense
of this when I can't make sense of it
myself? I'm in just as much shock as
they are. I want someone t o say it's all
right, just like they do. Nothing in this
is straightforward. All the emotions are
complex. Relief that my own family and
friends are safe, combined with worry for
those whose aren't, or remain unknown.
The most striking emotional cocktail
of this for me i s the reassurance and
heartbreak at how desperately my students want this not to have been done
by Arabs.
You see, I teach in the Middle East.
All those young women who are my
students are Arabs. Muslims. I've seen
and heard of people in the U.S. saying,
"Damn Arabs" or "Damn Muslims" or
"Damn Middle Easterners." That, and
worse.
To some of you, Arabs may be nameless and faceless, counted as suspicious
or dangerous. Easy to blame. To me,
Arabs are my students and their families.
Arabs are as diverse a group as any other.
Hating them all would be like hating all
Europeans for the atrocities in Kosovo or
Serbia. Let me make them less faceless
for you.
My students are young women. Like
university students anywhere, they're worried about grades and exams, about course
requirements and majors, and, of course,
about juggling their classwork with their
social lives. They have dreams and plans,
about their careers, about marriage and
family, about places they'd like to travel
to. They may dress differently than a
group of women the same age in the U.S.,
but underneath the shayla and abaya,
they're not very different at all.
Today, they're in shock. They're worried about war. They're concerned about
their relatives who are in the States.
They remember the Gulf War, and they're
afraid this will be so much worse. Our
university is near an airport. Normally,.
they just ignore the planes as they take
off and land. Either they pause until the
sound has died down, or try to talk over
it. Today, they flinched. I've never seen
the planes make them nervous before.
They're horrified by the attacks on
the United States. While they are angry
that the U.S. appears to support Israel,
they cannot accept what has happened.
Letters
My students do not celebrate una, iiui uu
they take it lightly. They say it is harram
- forbidden by religion. The deaths of so
many innocents can never be acceptable.
Not for any reason.
My students are still learning English:
They had to struggle, sometimes, to
express themselves. They know how to
talk about classes and majors. They know
the vocabulary for the lives of university
students. They don't have the words for
the deaths of innocents. I find it tragic.
I can no more make sense of this
for you, or for myself, than I could for
my students. All I can do is pray for the
victims, and pray for Peace.

Open Heart
and Mind
In light of the horrible events that
been taking place recently, we would like
to have one minute of your time. The
members of the Sikh community have
been getting some strange looks over the
past couple of days by people who might
not be aware of what their turbans and
beards represent.
First of all, we belong to the peace
loving Sikh religion, which originates in
India. We have nothing to do with the
Islamic religion or Muslims who live in
the Middle East, though we do not look
down upon any religion and consider
all humanity equal. As far as we know,
Muslims in the United States do not even
wear turbans. It is not correct to think of
a turban wearing Sikh to be a Muslim.
Secondly, we encourage all of you
to keep an open mind and heart during
these troubling times, especially towards
American Muslims. Not only are
American Muslims suffering as fellow
Americans, but they are also becoming
the scapegoat in crimes that they 'obviously did not commit, let alone condone.
It is especially important for us, as
fellow Americans, to not let these, tragic
events trigger hatred and racism towards
other Americans. The goal of terrorism
is to tear a nation apart. Don't let them
win. Irrespective of our backgrounds, let
us not forget our common homeland and
unite as true American patriots during
these difficult times.

Tired
American
not Willing
to Hate
For the students, whose minds have
historically been open, and whose voices
we've historically listened to.
I am a tired American today. Tired
of hearing 'inescapable conclusions' and
that we must 'exact retribution.' Tired of
hearing how we can 'emerge triumphant'
by striking back in further acts of terrible
violence. Tired of the anger in which
we wallow, where clear thought might
buoy us up. Tired of our unwillingness
to understand the 'why' behind such
tragedies as Tuesday's events. How far
are we willing to go in the misguided path
of revenge? How many more times must
we submit to hate, and thereby perpetuate violence that does not coincidentally
grow worse?\
God Bless America.
The only inescapable conclusion after
Saanand Singh yesterday's historic tragedy is that many
CSUSM Student people will have died in vain if we
respond to this injustice with violence.
We cannot and must not. To do so would
be to continue playing a game that we can

that we are no better than the perpetrators of this horrific event,-except that
we are capable of far greater, more calculated swathes of destruction. We cannot guarantee our safety until we finally
understand why others would lash out
in this way, and help provide them an
alternative to doing so in the future. If
we must punish, then we must not do so
with violence or without understanding.
I am a tired American today, yet I will
be damned before I spend my remaining
energy standing 'united' in the solidarity
of further violence. I love this country,
but I do not love it enough that I am
willing to hate for it.

CSUSM President
Tuesday's events have
changed dramatically how the
country views itself and its sense
of security and position in the
world. While we at Cal State
San Marcos are far away from
what occurred, we still feel not
only the pain but also the sense
of shock and violation that has
taken place.
As a University community,
we need to take the time not
only to reflect on those who have
lost their lives and those who
continue to suffer, but also on
what is our proper role and how
we should respond to these horrendous actions. It is my hope
that we will resolve to continue
to live as a community governed
by law with a clear sense of
justice and equality, and that
we not generalize the actions
of a few to the many. We must
be thoughtful and prudent, and
while the history of our country
will change forever, we must
continue to live and operate as
the great nation we have always
been. It is up to each one of
us to reflect on what these tragic events mean to us individually and how we will cope with
them.
As a community, the
University will make available
opportunities for discussion and
reflection. It is also my hope
that the faculty and staff will
take the time to interact with
students to discuss and attempt
to resolve the meaning of the
events and our place individually, and collectively, as we
attempt to work through the current crisis and into the future.

is getting worse.
T hroughout
the 80s I remember learning about terrorism.
Where else could I learn about
terrorists but in the news? The
two decades of coverage of
car bombs, suicide missions
and Embassy disasters gave me
insight into the minds of people
who really don't like us at all.
Our national media eats this
news up and regurgitates it to
the American public as to make
sense of it all, explaining failed
foreign policy, attempting to
sway the American public into
believing We are safe from these
monsters, all the while feeding
us images we don't want to
look at, but all the while the
television remains on. Through
out households, restaurants, bars
and department stores, we, as
Americans, are feeling the painful reality of our freedom.
My mind races on of what
to think of this whole situation.
And as the television bombards
my head with the images, the
angles, the rubble, the people, I
wonder what will ,
happen. Are we
going to war? Are
we as vulnerable
as the incident
shows? A mi ever
going to ride or
feel safe in an airplane again? The
list goes on and
on.
Thousands
upon thousands of
questions will be
asked, with few or
no answers. But
we, as Americans, must unite.
This wasn't an attack on the
president, a religious group or
certain race, it was an attack on
our personal liberty.
The individual freedom we
as Americans all share, cherish
and absorb into our way of life.
Americans must come together,
put aside their differences and
anguishes to help support the
families of those who lost their
lives, to help answer the questions so many of us are faced
with, and to protect our way of
living in the United States.
"We, as
Americans,
are feeling
the painful
reality
of our
freedom"
Opinion — — — — A N ation u nder A ttack
By ZACHARY A. PUGH
For The Pride
As a new day began on Tuesday, Sept. 11, the citizens of this
nation were not prepared for what
was to be the most horrendous
and malicious series of terrorist
attacks in the history of Amer-
ica.
Never has there been a terrorist attack of this magnitude
on American soil. This day will
be another "Day of Infamy"
that will haunt America and the
world.
We will live with these macabre pictures of human suffering
and anguish until the end of
time. We, as Citizens of this
nation, hope that the swift hand
of justice will prevail and that
the devils that have scarred our .
minds and destroyed many precious lives will be brought to
justice.
Jewish Voice f or Peace G roup S peak O ut
A Jewish Voice for Peace
is shocked and outraged by the
events that have taken place in
the United States this week.
As Jews, as Americans, and
as peace activists we condemn,
in the strongest possible terms,
these murderous acts and hope
that those, who carried out these
vicious attacks on innocent people are brought to justice.
We share in the collective
sense of grief and mourning,
and offer the deepest sympathy
for all those affected, seme of
whom are surely among us. Our
thoughts and our prayers are with
the victims, their families, and
their loved ones.
. At this point, people are
rightly struggling to comprehend
these events, and to understand
how such a tragedy could occur.
Under these circumstances, it is
essential to be both thoughtful
and just in our reactions. Terrorist
attacks occurring on American
soil often arouse anti-Arab and
anti-Muslim sentiment.
It is simply not tolerable that
an entire ethnic group, nation,
or religion be blamed for actions
carried out by individuals. As
Jews we understand the scapegoating Teaction only too well
because it has been done to our
people in the .past, and it is not
acceptable to us that i t be done to
any other group/The individuals responsible, but only those
responsible, should and must be
brought swiftly and decisively to
justice.
We urge our government not
to compound this tragedy by
causing the deaths of more innocent people in its pursuit of those
responsible. We call on our fellow citizens not to allow our
righteous rage over this horrific
act to lead u s'into collective
blame and acts of ethnic or religious hatred.
A Jewish Voice for Peace
was born of the conviction that
violence begets violence. It is
the mission of our organization/
and the passion of many of its
members, to support and work
towards lasting and equitable
peace and justice as the best
way to prevent atrocities such as
those we have witnessed today.
In light of today's events, all
of us engaged in the pursuit of
peace and justice must redouble
our efforts.

Editors' Note: The Pride changed
the word "article" to "opinion
piece " to clarify. "Students Respond
Differently To Tragedy" was an
opinion piece written by section
editors of The Pride and is in no
way legally slanderous, but merely
two students' opinions. The same
with this editorial and any and
all other pieces that appear on the
"Opinion" page.
By JARED HINES
Frater of Tau Kappa Epsilon
In response to a slandering
opinion piece written in The
Pride's latest special edition, I
would like to supply The Pride
editors with the truthful information needed to write their
latest
erroneous
article:
"Students Respond Differently
to Tragedy."
The members of both fraternities on campus, Tau Kappa
Epsilon and Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, were shocked and disappointed with the comments
made in one of The Pride's
articles following the tragedies
that occurred in New York,
Washington,
D.C.,
and
Pennsylvania. The members
of these fraternal organizations
were portrayed as self- centeredegotist concerned only with how
loud they could play their "vulgar" music in a display of macho
competition. This is, of course,
completely false and an ignorant
opinion from two people who
obviously did not take the time
to observe the true events that
transpired on that catastrophic
I\iesday. If time would have
been taken to better observe
the actions of the fraternities, it
would have been apparent to the
authors of this poorly written
opinion to see that both, TKE
and SAE, came together to discuss the situation and comfort
those in need.
As far as our self-centered
efforts and "showing o ff" as
opposed to the other clubs, I
would like to share a few
insights. Our music is radio
compliant, not "vulgar". The
volume was lowered in respect.
The flag that was reported in
this recent media twist, flying
at half-mast by the way, was
placed at the TKE booth by
one of our officers. Both fraternities respectfully and considerately distributed black ribbons.
Within minutes of pinning these
badges of American mourning
on our chests, hundreds of fellow students came to join in
the symbolic expression of our
deep pain. Finally, when the
campus was closed, the DJ at
the TKE booth used the speakers to announce the cancellation
of classes. There also remain
many key factors that the opinion peice left out. SAE and TKE
have joined forces by arranging
a Greek blood drive. Another
officer has taken steps to raise
funds to send over as disaster
relief.
Within organizations o f our
size, it is nearly impossible to
have not one person affected by
the terrorist attacks. In fact, the
members of TKE have family,
friends and alumni who either
live in New York or work at
the Pentagon. We also have
members that were placed on
call due to their status in the US
military. However, like the other
cl^bs at CSU San Marcos, we
remained on campus, but constantly had somebody inside of
Commons 206 to update everyone in our section of the quad
on any breaking news.
It is a wonder to me why
these two authors would even
think to print a piece that only
furthers bad feelings considering
the effect that this disaster has
already had on all students. The
Pride seems to have a history of
attacking the Greek system, w d
it is in poor taste t o use these terrorist attacks as another instrument of this vendetta. The motivation of the fraternities was to
unite students; Greek and NonGreek, in a casual atmosphere so
that all could be consoled and
feel free to express their individual opinions.
However, out of every opinion I heard, not one student went
so far as to slander another student, or for that part a fellow
American. I ask all students to
keep the victims of these horrific events in their thoughts and
prayers, and not use this time to
point fingers, but to reflect on
how valuable life really is.

�First Season Game for Mens Soccer
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
The men's soccer team had
its first game of the season on
Mangrum Field on Sunday morning against CSU Long Beach.
"The players had been practicing
consistently for four weeks now
to get ready for this game," said
Coach Khalid Al-shafie.
Although the team was
defeated by CSU Long Beach,
1-5, the coach and soccer players
said they believe in their potential and hope to do a good job
this season.
"We will play hard and play
good soccer,99 said soccer captain
Joseph Cafiero, a junior majoring
in biology.
"The strengths of the team
are their commitment to playing
hard, and it seems that the players
enjoy each other," said Al-shafie.
He said that he does not see any
weaknesses on the team.
The players agreed with the
coach. "We have good players
and there is a lot of potential. I
hope we do a good job and we
win," said Manuel Maldonado,
a sophomore, majoring in computer science.
This season the men's soccer
team will play against "tough
schools," as Al-shafie described
them, including UC Santa

Barbara and Utah State. These
schools, as well as Cal State San
Marcos, are playing in a league
known as the National Intramural
Recreation Sports Association
(NIRSA).
"We are trying to develop a
good team and have a good season," said Al-shafie. "We want
to represent CSUSM and ASI the
best we can." ASI (Associated
Students, Inc) sponsors soccer,
one of the intramural sports on
campus.
Right now the team has 16
players. However, Al-shafie said
he believes that the team will
continue to grow and encourages
more students to enroll. "It's fun.
At least we have some sports at
Cal State San Marcos and I hope
that more sport teams will be
formed," said Maldonado.
The next soccer game is
Friday against Pepperdine University at 4 p.m., followed by
another game on Saturday at Mangrum Field at 4 p.m. against Utah
State, according to Cafiero and
Al-shafie.
"Of course we hope to win,
although it is not going to be easy,
we expect to win," said Cafiero,
"We also encourage students to
come support the team at the
games."

SIERRA NEAL
For The Pride
I'm sorry that so many of your
children died.
The pain that you must be facing
is worse than all life.
To find out that someone you
iQve so much, turns around and
kills so many of your children, is
very heart breaking.
What an evil man to kill so
many of your precious gifts.
You gave life to us, why would*
anyone want to take that life
away....
As small and precious or grown
up and old as we may be, we are
all still your children.
You look after us and love us
like no other.
You give us shelter; warmth,
compassion, and you give us forgiveness.
Forgiveness for all our sins, forgiveness o four selfness and
pride.
You take that forgiveness with
all the light you have and make
it into something we can't see
ourselves.
So you give us teachers, all
kinds to help us along of our
path of enlightenment.
You mold us, you train us for
something unexpected,
something like today, Sept.
11,2001.
No one expected it, no one was
prepared, and no one was ready
to die.
Please help those that are in
need.
Help those that are now floating
spirits to find their way back to
you.
Help those that are in need, to
have no more tears as you will
wipe out their pain and fear and
fill their hearts with happiness
again.
Help those families who are suffering dearly,
Help them pray for the lost ones.
Help the terrorist seek forgiveness for those lives that he took,
so his heart can be whole.
Help him find the way of God,
which is almighty and strong,
.with love instead of hate.
Help him pray for his brothers
and sisters.
Let him cry out, with regret and
say that he is sorry!
Let him cry out to you and say,
I want to be with you instead of
against you!
It's a different kind of beauty but
life goes on.
We learn from our mistakes that
unfortunately harm others.
God, please continue to be our
teacher and be there for us, as
we are weak.
You are strong, you are loving,
and most of all you are
forgiving!

Student Profile: Lending a Hand in El Salvador and Home
By VICTORIA B. SEGALL
Pride Editor
Thanks to the donations from
students, clubs, and staff at
Cal State San Marcos, Anna
Fleming, a 21-year-old junior,
brought .sfniles to the tiny faces
of hundreds of school children in
El Salvador this past summer.
With more than 250 bags of
school supplies, Fleming flew
to Santa Tecla, a suburb of San
Salvador that was hit by a 7.6
earthquake Jan. 13,2001. Several
hundred aftershocks caused a
major landslide in Santa Tecla.
More than 1,159 people died
from the quakes, 8,122 were
injured, 185,338 homes were
damaged, and 149,528 were
homes destroyed, according to El
Salvador's National Emergency
Committee (COEN).
"The landslides took out both
the homes and the people in
them," said Fleming, a liberal
studies major. "There's now a
camp for the people who are
homeless."
The bags Fleming brought

El Salvador last summer. She took
school supplies to the children after
the earthquakes devastated
the community.

from the U.S. were filled with
supplies donated by the CSUSM
community and the service organization, Kiwanis. Fleming personally handed out individual
bags to the school children in
the camps at Santa Tecla, which
are tents that house temporary
medical clinics and school for
the residents of the town.
The camp in Santa Tecla
houses more than 400 families.
"There are problems everywhere, in your backyard, internationally," said Fleming. "To
open your eyes to that makes
you realize that there are needs
all over that need to be m et"
Such
community
(or
international)-service work is not
new to Fleming, who is president of the university's Circle
K International Club, a community-service based club that
primarily works with children.
This year the club will hold their
annual Angel Tree Drive, a toy
drive for children during the
winter holiday.
"Joining this club was an
opportunity for me to meet people," said Fleming. "It wasn't
specific like a lot of other groups
are. It's people from other cultures and majors."
In addition to her club leader position, Fleming also works
as a support staff person for
the faculty-mentoring program.
When asked how she handles
the juggle of school, work, and
other activities, Fleming said, "It
is hard, this time of the year.
We're busy starting out with new
classes, jobs, trying to recruit for
Circle K, or other clubs, but you
can choose to limit how involved
you are. You can still be in a
club or work, and not commit
too many hours. But I definitely
encourage others to get involved
in student life."
Fleming also talked about
the support for clubs on campus.
"I could see more support for
clubs," she said. "There seems
to be a good amount of support
for fraternities, but there could
be more outreach."
Although Fleming said she
is not sure what she will do after
she graduates, she said she has
an idea of what she wants to do
at the moment, "If I can find so
many things to get involved with
at school, it shouldn't be hard for
me to figure out what I can do
with the rest of my life."

America's Terror
By VICTORIA SEGALL
Pride EditorApparent terrorist attacks
rocked the nation Tuesday, causing the deaths of what appears
to be thousands of individuals,
leaving the nation's largest city
in shambles.
Shortly after 9:03 a.m., two
planes crashed into Manhattan's
World Trade Center, knocking
its famous Twin Towers to the
ground. At 9:43 a.m., yet another
plane, American Airlines' Flight
77, hit the Pentagon, causing
sections of the building to collapse. A Pentagon spokesperson
said that part of the Pentagon was
occupied.
American Airlines' Flight
77, carrying 58 passengers and
six crew members, and Flight
11, carrying 81passengers and 11
crew members, crashed, leaving
no surivors. Both planes were
headed for Los Angeles.
Two United Airlines planes
were also lost, including Flight
93, heading from Newark, New
Jersey to San Francisco, which
crashed near Somerset, Pennsylvania. Flight 175 from Boston to
Los Angeles, carrying 56 passengers and seven crew members, is
believed to be "the second plane
that hit the World Trade Center,"
according t<J CNN reports Tuesday. Approximately 266 people
were believed to have died on the
four hijacked airplanes.

were evacuated, including the

The Cal State San Marcos
campus police were notified Tuesday morning to carry out a nonemergency evacuation of all buildings on campus. California Governor Gray Davis ordered the shutdown of all CSU campuses, after
the apparent terrorist attacks on the
East Coast.
"We were very impressed with
how everyone on campus responded
and cooperated with the evacuation," said Sgt. McCullough.
According to
Sgt. Bill
McCullough of the campus police,
when the officers received the order,
they began a systematic evacuation
of all buildings on campus. They
began with University Hall and
worked their way westward on
campus.
Some instructors had already
made the decision to cancel their
classes that day, even before the
official order was given, said Sgt.

Brief H istory of Terrorism in America
By AMY BOLASKI
Pride Graduate Intern
The bombing of the Alfred
P. Murrah Federal Building in
Oklahoma City on April 19,1995
is regarded as the worst terrorist
act in history committed on U.S.
soil - until now.
168 people died in the Oklahoma bombing, and the nation
waited for more than six years
for some sort of resolution to the
tragedy. The execution of Timothy McVeigh on June 11, 2001,
brought that resolution, in some
ways, for the families and friends
of the victims - indeed, the nation
as a whole.
Now, three months to the day
after that execution, the nation
remains at a standstill - waiting
for news, for instructions, for
hope and for a death toll too staggering to comprehend.
The United States has been
lucky in many ways to be spared
the sort of large-scale terrorist
activities so common to other
nations, particularly those of the
Middle East. Now, we face an
attack of such magnitude that it
has prompted numerous comparisons to the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor during World War
II. The day that "will live in
infamy" in the minds and hearts
of Americans will, quite possibly,
stand alongside Sept. 11, 2001 as
one of the most brutal and tragic
the American people will continue to write about and remember in history books, churches and
institutions around the nation.
New York's World Trade
Center was bombed Feb. 29,1993.
Five people were killed and thousands injured. Now, that same
building, orie that houses more
than 100,000 workers and visitors each day, is no longer intact
- its famous twin towers gone
from the city skyline, crumbled
and smoking in the streets of
New York. Nearly 300 people
perished in the hijacked planes
alone; between 100 and 150
people leaped to their death from
the building. The death toll will
continue to mount as those who
perished in the building are discovered and counted.
How does this stack up
against other terrorist attacks the
U.S. has experienced? Most acts
of terrorism in the nation have
involved small-scale, extremist
groups or movements with specific objectives. Aside from the
previous bombing of the World
Trade Center, the Oklahoma City
bombing and incidents involving
the U.S. Capitol Building and
Mobil Oil Headquarters in New
York, most cases of terrorism
aimed at the U.S. have taken
place far from home.
In 1983, the U.S. Embassy in
Beirut was bombed; 63 people

Tuesday's terrorist attacks
have brought the nation together.
Now what remains to be seen is
how this tragedy will affect the
future. Thankfully, we know that
in the. following months, Americans will pull together to heal
the wounded and clear the wreckage.
However, what remains
unclear is how to "punish" the
nameless villain/s. In his address
to the nation, President George
Bush vowed to "hunt down and
punish" who ever is responsible
for this attack. That was a passionate and immediate reaction.

TO: AH CSU Employees
CSU Chancellor Charles B.
Reed
Today our country experienced a life-changing tragedy
that has left us all feeling shaken
and deeply saddened. I am sure
that many of you, like me, felt a
sense of shock and helplessness
as we watched the events unfold
on television. My heart goes out
to the many families who have
been affected by this disaster.
At the CSU, the safety of our
students and employees is our
highest priority. We will continue to monitor the security
of
our
campuses
and
facilities to ensure that all students and employees have a safe
working environment.
You will be receiving ongoing communication from your
campus about the status of
classes and other events that may
need to be rescheduled.
I thank you all for your cooperation arid assistance during
this difficult time. You and your
families remain in my thoughts
and prayers.
Education
Professor
Speaks to
Students
Dear Students,
It is with deep regret that
we could not meet with you on
Tuesday. Sometimes the events
of the world remind us of how
precious we are to each other, and
I know you all join us in mourning the loss of so many of our
fellow citizens. It is a tragic day
that we will always remember,
and in your own reflections, as
you hold your loved ones a
bit closer today, please keep in
your hearts, thoughts, or prayers
the people throughout the world
whose lives are affected by this
terrible tragedy. It is a day of
reflection and grief.
As I sat in the auditorium of
that elementary school in Massachusetts so many years ago, with
all of the children and teachers
of my school, watching and waiting to celebrate the first teacher's journey into space, I never
imagined that any tragedy could
ever more deeply pain us and
leave us with a feeling of such
helplessness. Yet the magnitude
of today's events has certainly
done that.
As teachers, we will at times
be called upon to be unreasonably strong in the face of
adverse times, and to set aside
our best laid plans in favor of
a different and deeper level of
commitment and communication. Your instincts to do so will
overtake you, and you will be
well and right to follow them.
For those of you who go back
into the public schools this week,
you will have an opportunity to
observe and participate in this
way, however untimely and premature it may feel in your sense
of professional readiness. It will
be your kindness, your generous
and genuine caring, and your
humanity that will accompany
you. Use these in abundance.
In kind, we will be here
for you, and in our own ways,
we will set aside less important
plans to hold each other up with
care and compassion.

tion rather than revenge.
There is no doubt that this
event was shocking, confusing,
surreal, and heartbreaking for
Americans. But we must use our
wits instead of our emotions.
Right now, the nation can
only speculate about who the
monsters are and their reasoning. So, let's speculate. The fact
is that this was a well-planned
attack that took a lot of time,
energy, and money to carry out.
If the United States takes a highly
aggressive stance against a large
unknown, we may be inadver-
tently initiating war. The terrorists have provoked Americans
and we have the opportunity to
respond with fists or respond
with intelligence. We vote intelligence.
An intelligent response
would include an investigation
into why, followed by peace talks
and negotiations. It will take
a lot of courage to work with
the attackers, rather than seek
sudden revenge for our losses.
But we at CSUSM know, "si se
puede; it can be done." .
Campus Official
in Paris Shares
Thoughts
On exchange this year at our
partner university near Paris,
I experienced the news of the
horror of the coordinated attacks
in New York, Washington, and
Pennsylvnia at a different time
and in a different space than my
colleagues at San Marcos. Still,
I am certain that we shared
a very similar moment of disbelief, disgust, disillusionment,
and dismay. As I was in the
middle of preparations to
conduct courses and meetings
that seek to extend global
understanding and cooperation
between our students and universities, I faced the overpowering evidence that fundamental differences remain that
we cannot simply smile away as
misunderstanding or misinterpretation.
Whether this heinous act had
its origin within or outside of
the United States, it remains
terrible proof that indoctrination, zealotry, and narrow,
fundamentalist thinking easily
destroys the belief in our
common humanity.
The terrorists believed that
they were attacking a system
and its ideas, without care for
the individuals, their families,
friends, and loved ones.
Although many have turned
against the idea of "liberal
humanism" as a false promise
of progress, and insist on the
values that separate us, I confess
that I was most horrified by the
individuals, forced from a burning, crumbling tower, who felt
that their only choice was a quick
jump to death. When ideologies
clashed, I couldn't help seeing
the helpless individual caught in
between.
As individuals, .we must
resist the easy temptations of
hatred and of unthinking
revenge, while still protecting
our shared values of freedom
anddemocracy. Apparently, protecting those ideologies (which
I wish were realized much more
fully in both the' U,S. and in
Europe), there will be terrible
conflicts and casualties. Yet even
under attack, our foremost
thoughts should be of how we
can best contribute to peace,
prosperity, tolerance, and human
understanding for all nations and
peoples with whom we share this
planet. We never can afford to
lower ourselves to the level of
unholy terrorists.

Searching for Good, as the Dust Settles
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
On Tuesday morning, the
phone rang early, and since my
girlfriend was on her way back
from visiting family in Maryland, I answered thinking that
she was on her way home. Instead
she said, "Turn on the T.V. The
World Trade Center and the Pentagon have been blown up.".
Wiping the sleep from my
eyes and searching for consciousness, my nightmare began. On
the world, scale, the U.S. w4s
under terrorist siege, but in my
small world the effects hit more
directly. I was confused and
scared that Jennifer called to say
she wasn't arriving in San Diego
today, and possibly not for some
time. Helpless to do anything, I
could only listen to the fact that
our country, the most powerful
entity in the world, was systematically being shut down.
As the events of my morning
unfolded, I noticed one overall
encompassing notion. Not a halfhour passed, and I had spoken
* w|th and assured the well being
of both my families. In less than a
month, Jennifer and I are getting
married, and to me the good I can
see behind all the pain and suffering is the family and friends. It
is astounding to me to be a part of
not just one, but two families. The
power and importance of family
has always been unmatched in
my life, but to directly feel the
love, support, and concern is
refreshing. It was an immediate
and heartfelt reaction from everyone to ensure the safety and well
being of each other.

World Mourns
Unthinkable Loss of Life
By CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
The shock of Tuesday's tragedy on the East Coast hangs palpably in the air, even here in
San Diego, as the nation and the
world mourn an unthinkable loss
of life, the result of an apparent
act of terrorism. As officials and
experts speculate about who may
be responsible for this atrocity,
the reality is that we are only
beginning to understand what
exactly happened in New York,
Washington, and Pennsylvania.
The death and injury toll may
well climb into the thousands,
and the cost of such an event is
incalculable.
The oft-repeated phrase
"unprecedented attack," accompanied by the horrific images of
people jumping to their deaths
from 90floorsup, and the planes
slamming into the towers, will
be indelibly marked not only in
our minds but in the consciousness of the American public for
years to come. We are only in
our infancy of comprehending
the effect that this tragedy will
have.
For those of us lucky
enough not to have been around
during the Pearl Harbor era,
we have no reference point for
an event of this magnitude.
Although images of death and
violence are sadly all too
common in our culture, to have
such scenes visited upon American soil elevates this tragedy
to another level. Questions of
national security, flight safety,
and terrorist policy will all certainly be raised in the ensuing
aftermath. And though we may
make improvement in these areas
in times to come, the damage
may be already done.
Like many of us who
turned on the television this
morning, I was at first shocked
at the image of the New York
skyline irrevocably altered. (An
image that only begins to convey
the scope of the tragedy).
As more details became
forthcoming, the reality of what
this all meant hit home: all U.S
air space closed until further
notice, and rumors of the U.S.Canada and U.S.-Mexico borders
closing.
Reports only seemed to
induce more terror. I called my
parents in Canada, friends, and
loved ones, anxious to reach out
to as many people as I could,
to feel some human connection
with the people I hold dear.
My sister-in-law called from
San Francisco, a city whose historic bridges were closed indefinitely, to say she and her family
were unharmed. She has a close
friend whose husband was on
the San Francisco-bound plane
that crashed in Pennsylvania. He
had called her while the plane
was being hijacked, as people a ll.
around him were being stabbed
and tortured. He knew he would
not escape and had called to say
goodbye.
I cried then as I cry now
writing this. I cry for that husband whose last minutes on this
Earth are the things nightmares
are made of; I cry for the wife
who must bear the memory of
her husband on that plane as he
said his last farewell; I cry for
the unimaginable loss of life and
' the tragedy that has and will
continue to touch all our lives;
I cry for all the hate and violence that breeds only hopelessness and despair in our world; I
cry at the thought of what consequences retaliation may bring; I
cry because I am scared.
To all the people whose
lives were needlessly lost and to
those of us left behind to mourn:
I offer love, strength, and a silent
prayer for peace.
spread out across the United
States and internationally. Not
only did I hear from those close
by, I also received a call from
my brother who lives in Costa
Rica, almost immediately following the incident. He was not only
checking on-me, but Jennifer and
her family as well, knowing they
live in southern Maryland, an
area not far from D.C.
Jennifer is trapped in Pittsburgh, and can only wait and see
what route to take as the dust settles (so to speak). She is alone,
knowing only that she wants to be
home, either in Maryland or here
in San Diego, not stuck somewhere in-between.
Marriage is the symbolic act
of joining two individuals and
their families. It bonds together
people from different lives, creating a larger family. As I share my
experiences and feelings on the
day the world stopped, I can only
hope the image myfamilies create
is not just an isolated world, but a
representation of our country as
a whole, bound by love and concern for the well being of all.
Students
Respond
Differently
to Tragedy
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Feature Editor
and LISA LIPSEY
Pride Opinion Editor
During Tuesday's catastrophe many students responded
with reverence and compassion.
Yet if someone took a short
walk through Founders Plaza,
one could see students reacting
in a variety of ways.
Because of Club Week, many
affiliations hung around to
recruit new members. As we
walked from The Pride office
to Academic Hall, we saw that
Commons 206 was full of students who had gathered to watch
the events unfold. Further down
the walkway, someone had set
out a U.S. flag. A Christian organization invited all students to,
"Come and pray for New York,
our nation, and our world." Their
actions were fitting, considering
the level of destruction that was
occurring in our country.
What disappointed us, however, was the competition
between the fraternities Tau
Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, who were showing off
by playing loud and vulgar
music. How could they do that
when so many students were
obviously distressed and a
moment of silence was needed?
In our opinion, this was clearly
an act of ignorarice and apathy.
in Community Church Vigi
By Bonnie Vandewater
I find it unfortunate that it
takes a tragedy like the World
Trade Center and Pentagon
attacks to bring our nation
together. However, I'm impressed
by the way our community pulls
together during disasters such
as these. People seem to jump
at a chance to respond in any
way they can. In fact, the phone
lines to the various blood banks
around San Diego County were
busy for hours and Hie blood
banks had lines of more than
200 people waiting to give blood.
The San Diego Blood Bank is
so overwhelmed with donations
that their website urges people
to make donations over the next
week because they cannot accommodate all of the donations today.
Yet the need for blood will still
be great.
Still, I want to do something.
Right now. Today. I feel guilty
that I was able to walk my dog
this morning, grab a bagel and
coffee, and sit and watch this
tragedy unfold in the comfort of
my living room more than 3,000
miles away from these attacks.
I can't fly to New York to volunteer my time. J can't donate
my blood today. I can't even talk
to my friend who just moved to
New York City last month to see
if she's okay.
The only thing I can do is
pray. So, tonight I will join prayer
forces with Pomerado Christian
Church in Poway where our
nation's flag will hold prominence, people of different beliefs
will join hands in prayer, candles will be lit to honor those we
have lost, and perhaps a seed of
hope will be restored to our little
corner of the nation.
