faculty, students, and other sources will also be accepted. For donation
information, contact the A.S. at 752-4990.
The qualification for receiving the scholarship are: the student must
be a native American Indian, a descendant, in thefirstor second degree,
demonstratefinancialneed, have good academic standing, community
involvement and a letter of recommendation.
The fund, established now, will be available withinfiveto 10 years,
and "considering that the university itself won't be fully established for
approximately 20 years, wefindthis to be a positive accomplishment"

"The festival is a great opportunity to meet college students from
other countries," said Kevin Kirkpatrick, USIU's director of student
communication. "We hope studentsfromlocal colleges and universities
will join us for the event. If past festivals are any indication, it should
be a lot of fun."
The festival will take place on the lawn infrontof Walter Library

CSUSM Closing?
Registration continues as campus and state officials
deny reports that newest Cal State campus will close
LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
On the day many Cal State San
Marcos students received their registration packets for fall 1992 enrollment, they were greeted by the uneasy
prospect that their campus could be
eliminated from the CSU system.
An article in Wednesday's Los
Angeles Times reported that CSU
Chancellor Barry Munitz told members of Sacramento's Comstock Club
that, faced with legislative budget cuts,
the CSU will be forced to close
campuses. The article specifically
named CSUSM as "in jeopardy" of
closure.
Although Munitz could not be
reached for comment, Max
Benavidez, a spokesman for the CSU,
denied allegations that CSUSM could
be shut down.
"I talked to the chancellor Monday
on the telephone and he was very
supportive (of CSUSM). I don't see
him crumbling a bit," CSUSM
President Bill Stacy said.
Stacy said that, in light of that
phone conversation, he was shocked
and surprised by the headlines in
Wednesday's Los Angeles Times. He
added that the chancellor gave no
indication that campus closure was
forthcoming.
According to Stacy, the
chancellor's concerns revolved
around the construction schedule at
CSUSM. In the event that Proposition
153 does not pass, campus construction could be "in jeopardy** and delayed for as much as two years. The
$900 million bond act would allocate
funds to public institutions of higher
education throughout California.
Because CSUSM is still in its
construction phase, it would be the
most severely affected by the failure
of Prop. 153. Stacy said that the Los
Angeles Times reporter incorrectly
interpreted the chancellor's statement
as meaning the campus might close.
Benavidez said if the CSU is shortchanged in the upcoming legislative
budget, Prop. 153 fails in the June
election, and student fees do not rise
by 40 percent, then 20,000 students
— a population of comparable to that
of a single campus—might be denied
admission to CSU schools.
"Ifall three occur," said Benavidez,
"we may actually have to close down
a campus. It is doubtful that it would
be CSUSM."
The spokesman said that the
chancellor is still committed to the
expansion of CSUSM and would actually like a speed-up of building if at
all possible.
In September, Munitz indicated
that he would like to see construction
at the Twin Oaks Valley Road site
accelerated to accommodate overflow
from other CSU schools.
"Because it*s new, because its
needs are so great... this (campus)
has to be a priority for the state,"
Munitz told reporters.
Even though officials deny that
CSUSM might be closed, the Los
Angeles Times article sparked concerns and reactions in community
leaders, staff and students.
"All this smoke has caused lots of
anxiety," Stacy said.
On the day the article appeared in
newsstands, a prestigious faculty
member from Pennsylvania State
University was visiting the campus
and assessing job opportunities at
CSUSM. Stacy said the professor
showed confusion over the future of
the university.
Barbara Davis, who served as
secretary to the president when the
article was published, said that a
number of students dropped by the
office to voice their reactions.
"Anger was prevalent and real
concern," Davis said. "People seemed
to be galvanized into action."
Davis said students voiced "real
opposition" to the statementand were
ready to respond.

International flair sets tone for
first commencement ceremony
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
The first commencement for Cal
State San Marcos is scheduled for
May 23 in a setting that reflects a
campus of the 21st century.
Beginning at 1 p.m., the graduation
ceremony has a touch of international
flair mixed in with traditional elements. Betty Huff who heads the organizational committee, said the students have opted for a more traditional ceremony, even to the point of
requesting "Pomp andCircumstance"
being performed during the processional.
"They (the students) wanted the
program to represent the occasion,"
Huff said. "It will have a sense of the
international feel of the campus, but
not like the International Festival"
Dr. Komla Amaoku, a master African drummer and CSUSM instructor, will open commencement Henry
Rodriquez, an elder with the Luisefio
Indian Tribe, will close. The CSUSM
student Andean Ensemble will perform before the ceremony begins.
Huff said about 100 students will
receive their Bachelors degree and 50
others will be recognized for completing the teacher credential program.
Also, "Students with honors will be
recognized," she said.
As part of the program, estimated
to last a little more than an hour, there
will be time to introduce special guests.
'There will be special recognition
of people who have contributed to the
university," Huff said. 'This will be a
unique one because there will be a
little more introduction because it*s
the first one."
The ceremony will take place at
the Twin Oaks campus, still under
construction. The main driveway and
turn-around, where the event will take
place, is completed and landscaped.
Originally, the committee had planned
to seat the graduates on the main
stairway, but, "They informed me that
thePlaza Stairs will not be completed."
Huff said.
Huff said that parking is limited,
since construction on the parking lots
have not yet been started. She advises
guests to car pool.
Guests and graduates may stay at

A.S. President-electLaura Mitchell
said she discussed the article with
staff members and wasn't worried
that the campus would not exist in
fall.
"Any student who read the story
would know we weren'tclosing," she
said.
According to Mitchell, panic was
avoided by extensivecommunication
between Stacy and staff members. On
the morning of the article, Stacy sent
an electronic message over campus
computers to stifle fears of CSUSM's
closure.
Mitchell said the faculty and administration then communicated
Stacy's message to students.
Future CSUSM students, however,
didn'tshare the same degreeofaccess.
Davis said one student from San
Marcos High School was concerned
that the campus would not be around
in a few years.
Former A.S. Council member Traci
Barnhill, who took this semester off
to have a baby, said she didn't know
whether or not tore-apply to CSUSM.
She said she was concerned that the
campus would not be there.
San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau
said he wasn't too worried over the
article's implications, but received a
number ofcalls from people who were.
San Marcos's Heart of the City zoning plan revolves around the construction of the university.
"Having been involved (in
CSUSM's development) from the
beginning, I wasn't real concerned
that it would be closed. I was anxious
to get aresponse however," Thibadeau
said.
He said he talked to the
Chancellor's Office on Wednesday
and was assured that the article reflected a misinterpretation of Munitz's
words. Thibadeau said the chancellor
used CSUSM as an example should
Prop 153 fail.
Some campus officials speculated
that, through his statement, the chancellor may have been trying to shock
the people of San Diego into voting
'yes' on Prop. 153. Since the San
Diego constituency voted down the
previous higher education proposition,
some viewed the chancellor's words
as a warning on the next ballot initiative.
"I don't think he deliberately sent
out a message to spank San Diego or
San Marcos," Stacy said. He said the
chancellor was expressing how desperately the CSU needs additional
funding.
Last week California Governor
Pete Wilson called for a $4 billion cut
in the state budget Such a cut could
take as much as $300million from the
CSU. Last year's $ 198 million budget
cuts in the CSU caused dramatic
cutbacks in class offerings and staff
layoffs through 19 of the system's 20
campuses.
Stacy said that CSUSM is requesting a $22 million dollar budget
from the Chancellor's Office. He said
' a reduction of funds to the CSU could
cut the campus's operations budget to
$17.8 million.
The university also relies on the
passing of Prop 153 to furnish the
permanent campus. If passed, Prop
153 would funnel $27 million to
CSUSM for construction, equipment
and furnishings.
"We've begun to pre-order equipment based on thebond issue passing,"
Stacy said. "We have three buildings
non-furnished or equipped. There's
not a stick of furniture in those
buildings."

Antibiotic use is no secret
I don't normally read Dear Abby
or get much chance these days of
ready the paper at all. However, recently there was small piece in the
Dear Abby column that I feel needs a
response and is of interest to collegeage patients.
The column implied that medical
professionals are intentionally keep
"a well-kept secret from their patients." The supposed secret is that
antibiotics decrease the effectiveness
of oral contraceptives and cause a
significant number of unwanted
pregnancies.
To begin with, oral contraceptives
are not perfect It is important to realize the pregnancies can occasionally
occur even though the patient has
taken all of her pills on schedule. The
lowest expected first-year reported
failure rate is 0.1 percent. In fact, it is
probably closer to 3 percent Many
different factors go into the 3 percent
range. These are primarily related to
compliance in pill taking.
In my research of the subject,
studies only indicate one antibiotic
that definitely interferes with contraceptive effectiveness. It is called
HEALTHNOTES
BY D R. J OEL G RINOLDS,
? M.D.
Rifampin and is primarily used to
treat tuberculosis.
There have been questions about
two other classes of antibiotics that
women frequently take/Penicillin
class drugs (like ampicillin) and tetracycline class drugs are thought by
some to interfere with contraceptives;
however, in studies, no interference
was detected and no pregnancies occurred.
A recent study in 1991 looked at
Doxycycline, a frequently used tetracycline, and found no interference.
The authors state that "pregnancies
attribute to interaction of oral contraceptives and tetracyclines are actually due to othejeauses or represent
a rare idiosyncratic response in individual women."
In my experience many women
take tetracycline for acne and oral
contraceptive at the same time and
have no increaserateof pregnancy.
I further discussed with Dr.
Michael Kettle, assistant professor at
the University of California, San Di. ego in the Department of Reproductive Endocrinology. His expertise is
in the areas of hormonal problems in
females and is an expert in the use of
oral contraceptives. He verified the
information I found and stated that
except for Rifampin, he issues no
special precautions to women who
are on other antibiotics.
As in the case with any medical
problem or treatment, individuals
should discuss medication interaction
with their personal medical provider
and determine for themselves their
course of action. If there is doubt in
your mind if this specific case, the use
of a back-up barrier method contraceptive during antibiotic use is always
appropriate.
Have a happy and healthy summer.

San Marcos isn't a college town — yet
The city of San Marcos fought against other
North County cities to win the honor of having
the newest Cal State campus built here; it is
obvious from talking with any city or civic
member within this community that they take
pride in the new university that is now being
built in the heart of San Marcos.
But those same happy people should have
checked with the residents of San Marcos, because over the past year, they have been fighting
their own battle of trying to keep every other
development out of the city.
From new businesses to an array of housing
projects, residents have blasted everything that
comes before the City Council. Most of the
proposals are legitimate and necessary to prepare
San Marcos for the student population it will
have in several years — 35,000fromCSUSM
alone in 2010—but the residents denounce the
projects saying they will bring crime, gang
violence and reduce property value.
Just last week, the San Marcos City Council
approved a low- to moderate-income housing
development The council members were met
with an onslaught of protestsfromthe neighboring residents in a seniors-only mobile homes
park. One resident was even quoted as saying,
"We do not need an incubator for future gang
members in our backyard."
The San Marcos Planning Commission gave
its unanimous approval to the project last year,
but not without the same battle with neighboring residents. "We are not against young
people, all we are asking is that what we worked
for all our lives not be taken away," a resident
said then.

sell drugs; they provide services, merchandise
and tax revenues for the city. New homes, too,
do not house gang lords or noisy maniacs; they
provide a residence for families, working singles
and aspiring students.
The record shows that low- and moderatehousing projects, if planned properly, do not
attribute to the crime statistics any more than the
seniors that are complaining do. Those residents
and the majority of San Marcos are wrongfully
stereotyping students.
The same complaints — crime, gangs,
property value — hurt a Single Resident Occupancy development last November. The objecting citizens recited their dissatisfaction
verbatim — crime, gangs, property value.
Yet the SRO developer has reports of successful projects completed and run by his firm.
In addition, the project proposed for San Marcos included larger rooms, stricter rules and
better supervision. This housing was ideal for
students who wanted a place to call home and
not live in the stuffy dorms on campus.
"We're using an upgrade SRO concept These
are no seedy, small rooms but luxury studios for
one or two people," said David Hadjesfromthe
Argento Group, the consultingfirmrepresenting the landowner. 'There is a real need in our
community for affordable housing. This in not
going to be a flop house." Hadjes said the people
who will qualify for this type of housing are
seniors, police and fire professionals, bank
tellers, waiters/waitresses as well as college
students.
Now, however, the SRO project has been
changed to a senior complex. It will attract more
of the same people to the area who do not want
what is coming — students.
San Marcos residents must realize they are in
a college town. Half the population in 10 to 20
years will either be enrolled or working at
CSUSM. A large portion will also be attending
Palomar Community College,justminutesaway.
Their enrollment is projected at 65,000 within
the next IS years, according to Public Information officials.
The senior citizens, therichand the snobby
people in San Marcos will be out numbered. But
if something is not done now, there will be a
housing problem later.
Trust the City Council. They have developed
a master-planned zoning around the university
to deal with the housing, traffic and relationship
between the campus and local community. The
city must incorporate low- and moderate-income
housing now, to coincide with the campus*
growth and prepare for the future.
Stop your stereotyping. Stop your whining.
There is a fantastic new creation in town called
a university and everyone can benefitfromit if
everyone works together to build not a college
community for the 21st century.
EDITORIAL
information in a governmental structure
where knowledge is vital to public enlightenment From this kind of envisionment by
the founding fathers, the First Amendment
of the Constitution was born.
No one who supports the idealisms of the
American system of government refutes the
notion that a free press stands as a vital
establishment for public enlightenment But
sometimes the inherent power of the free
press has negative results.
In its zeal to inform the American public
on breaking and active news, the press
oftentimes creates or augments societal ailments.
The coverage of last week's tragicriotsin
Los Angeles illustrates how the press's influence propagated, rather than alleviated a
problem. Looters saw first-hand, at any hour
of the day or night, which businesses were
unprotected by police forces and open for
ransacking.
While television newscasters stated, "It
may be hours before police are able to arrive
and secure the grocery store," hundreds of
starving families in the area seized the opportunity to take what was readily needed
and available to them.
As a result, bands of looting "thugs" were
joinedby mothers, children and elderlypeople
who seized the opportunity to lift diapers and
foodfromthe market Representatives from
all demographic groups participated in the
looting of businesses simply because the
press gave them the green light to do so.
The press, fueled by public appeal,
broadcasted every aspect of theriotsand
were rewarded by healthy viewerships.
Certainly the people of L.A. had therightto
know what tragedies were occurring in their
city, but the press went too far in its coverage
of events.
The United States is the only nation in the
world which televises riots in progress. If
television stations are afforded the opportunity to cover another outbreak similar to last
week's, let's hope they exercise more sensitivity and common sense.

A THOUGHT;
"Upon the weak the strong ones
prey. In human life, it's all so true,
the strong will try to conquer you.
And that is what you must expect,
unless you use your intellect."
from THE SWORD IN THE STONE
If our elementary and secondary educational
systems were human they would be in the Intensive Care Unit dying from coronary heart
disease. The educational system of today is like
a plugged artery filled with plaque. The plaque
which blocks the educational system are wasteful
spending, bureaucracy, and inefficient instruction of children in public schools.
The cure to this disease is a transplant from
the current educational system to a school
voucher system where parents can choose which
schools (public or private, religious or nonreligious) they want their child or children to
attend. There are many benefits which the school
voucher system presents to American society.
The first benefit is social because, with a
school voucher system, the following could and
would occur.
First, poor people could afford to attend most
private schools if they choose to do so. Secondly,
minorities and poor whites would be empowered
to escape the inferior public schools of the inner
cities which are falling apart and filled with
violence. Thirdly, the school voucher system
would create an integration of socio-economic
groups as well as ethnic and racial groups in
public and private schools that the public schools
have failed to do with forced integration of
schools in the 1970s and the magnet schools of
the 1980s.
Besides social benefits, there are numerous
educational goods to the school voucher system.
One thing a school voucher system might do is
force public school educators to abandon failing
child-centered, progressive educational theories,
and force them back to the basics in education
and discipline, which propelled America to have
the best educational system in the world in the
1950s and 1960s.
In addition, schools might get back to the
principle of teaching the 3Rs — reading, writing and arithmetic — instead of distributing
condoms on the high school campuses and
acting as a health clinic.
Jim Downs, a retired public high school
teacher, stated in his Blade-Citizen commentary
that, "I was surprised to note again and again
over the years that students coming out of St.
Francis Catholic School in Vista, where there is
no gifted program, knew more American History than those coming out of the Lincoln Middle
School gifted program. Moreover, they (the St.
Francis students)had superior expository writing
skills."
In addition to the educational benefits, there
are multitudinous economic advantages in
having a school voucher system. First, the current
school choice initiative would give $5,200 to
public schools per student (the current outlay
per student) and give a $2,600 voucher to a
parent who decides to enroll his or her child in
a private school. Thus, if parents choose to use
a voucher for private schools, then the state of
California would save $2,600 per child who
went to private school and the money saved
could be used towards the staters fiscal or social

problems or refund it back to the citizens.
Secondly, it California had a school voucher
system, the state would not need to build as
many schools because the private sector
(schools) would lessen the load on public schools,
and the private sector (schools) would develop
new schools as the demand for them increased;
thus saving the state tens of millions of dollars
in capital construction costs of schools.
Thirdly* why should public schools hold a
monopoly when they are doing an insufficient
job in educating our youth, and when the federal
government prohibits monopolies (i.e. The
Shaman Anti-Trust Act) except in utility ánd
other specialized industries.'
Finally, why should California taxpayers
have to pay twice if they choose to enroll their
child or children in private schools, especially
when public schools offer an inferior education
compared to private schools.
I call upon the faculty, students and staff at
CSU San Marcos to support an elementary and
secondary school voucher system in the state of
California.

Student apathy scolding
is reprehensible action
I am responding to the notion that CSUSM
students aré apathetic to the growing pains of
this university. Your staff editorial (April 21)
states, "If the administration and founding faculty
could start all over, the would probably proceed
. . . minus one factor — the current apathetic
student population.** This statement and your
scolding is reprehensible. Yes, this university
could benefit from a more active student
population. However, it is imperative to understand the demographic make-up of the current student population before judgement is
passed.
A large number of students are older and
returning to college for the umpteenth time.
Many students are married and more than a few
have children. Some are single parents. Home
mortgages are not out of the ordinary. Jobs are
a given. Furthermore, I would venture to say
that this may be the last opportunity for many
students to earn a degree. Graduating will be a
miracle! We are not freshman-age youngsters
riding on the backs of supportive parents, ignorant and bliss to the realities of life. We are
hardened individuals that need to graduate as
soon as possible. If feasible, we will help guide
ad mold this university. However, don't condemn
us if we are unable to contribute in a fashion you
deemfit.So lighten up Pioneer! This university
will survive. Student governmentandeverything
else associated with it will flourish when the
demographics shift to a more traditional makeup.

T aintbair sport does
require skill, experience
This letter is in response to Jonathan Young' s
articles about Paint Pellet Pursuit, more commonly called Paintball. I have been playing the
sport forfiveyears, own all my own equipment,
and have played at all the San Diego fields.
The two articles that Mr. Young wrote were
positive in nature, which contrast much of the
press. His first article, entitled "Despite public
opinion, war-like game creates an adult-version
of playing tag," was a good overview of the
sport
But I disagree strongly with Mr. Young's
article, "Forget skill, experiences; winning a
game is all luck." As an experienced player, I
have the advantage of understanding how the
guns work, and that understanding allows me to
work the guns efficiently and aim the guns with
accuracy.
Besides understanding how the guns work,
skill and experience do help. I have learned to be
patient and control my fear, reacting in a controlled fashion byfiringback and seeking cover.
Patience keeps experienced players from rushing into situations where they may be eliminated
quickly without accomplishing their goal.
Strategy is also an important element. It is
developed with knowledge gained after each
time played, its equipment, terrain, and action
of the other players. I think experience and skill
are helpful in winning and enjoying the game of
paintball.

DEBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
A shot in the dark. A scream. The
smell of smoke. Who killed whom?
Every element contained in a
murder mystery can be experienced
in the "Boardwalk Melody Hour
Murder" at the Mystery Café. The
audience tries to identify the victims,
Jie murderers, and the witnesses in
bis theatrical whodunit, butthey must
be quick to catch the clues.
Set at the "Imperial Ballroom" in
Atlantic City in the year 1932, the
'Broadway Melody Hour Murders"
invites its guests to dine and enjoy a
full evening of sleuthing entertainment
Throughout the entire performance, the characters interact with
ihe audience. One parson in the aulience has to point the gun at a murder
suspect for the "G" man. Another
person is asked to watch the baby
carriage for Mrs. Bambino.
In between the acts, the characters
serve the meal, but they also whisper
¿lues to anyone asking, and they will
also sit and chat with a group of "detectives." Everyone viewing the play
must grasp as many clues as possible
in order to solve the mystery. Even
Dribery is accepted (everyone gets
Monopoly money for bribes).
All the actors perform excellently.
Particularly superb is Queenie 'Mad
Woman* Malone (Diane Thrasher).

Dive into (lining enjoyment
exclusive to Sand Crab Café
There's a kind of primitive joy
associated with dining at the Sand
Crab Cafe. At this unique restaurant
in Escondido, the delight that comes
with rolling your sleeves up and digging intoapileof oceanic treats offers
diners the opportunity to cast all formal dining styles to the tides.
Although Emily Post might object
to the Sand Crab's offbeat practice of
serving shellfish without the luxuries
of silverware or plates, the tasty fare
at this small hideaway far outsails its
unusual etiquette.
For its seafood specials, servers at
the Sand Crab cover their tables with
sheets of white papa*. A roll of paper
towels is discretely placed on each
table, to be used as napkins while
dining. Each customer is given a small
mallet and a pounding block to break
the shells of crab legs.
Food servers then dump a bucket
of seafood specialties directly onto
the table itself for diners to grab and
devour at their discretion. This style \
of serving bears intimate resemblance
to a New England clambake or

Louisiana crawfish feast
I ordered the Fisherman's Sampler
and was pleasantly surprised at its
wide variety of delectablesfromthe
depths. The selection contained
shrimp, clams, snow crab clusters,
crawfish, New Zealand mussels, stone
crab claws, a small lobster tail, sausage, new potato wedges, corn-onthe-cob and sourdough bread.
The entire oceanic entourage is
boiled to perfection in a broth of savory spices. Be aware that the shrimp,
crawfish, clams and mussels are
served au natural, so delicate peeling
and digging is required.
With the mallets and pounding
block, the Sand Crab gives customers
the ability to exercise the primitive
urge to pound something. I found the
little wooden implements to be most
efficacious for crunching the heck out
of thebothersomeshells that surround
the delectable meat of crab legs. I
discovered that a supple snapping of
the wrist is the most effective technique in wielding the instruments.
Diners are given small containers
of melted butter, cocktail sauce and
honey-mustard sauce for dipping.
Apart from the seafood in the
Fisherman's Sampler, I found the
pieces sausage a welcome and slightly
spicy addition to the meal. The small
morsels will make your tastebuds
swim in delight
For those who don't care for seafood, the Sand Crab has a lunch menu
filled with hamburgers and sandwiches. Spaghetti and dinner salads
also grace the menu for non-seafood
lovers.
For dessert, I indulged in the Key
lime pie, a tangy and creamy treat
which perfectly topped the meal. The
café also offers Snickers cheese cake,
an unusual hybrid of the candy bar
and the post-dinner classic.

"As ASI représentatives,

Since January 2012, gas
prices, in California have
gone up 61 cents per gallon,
causing a major economical
problem for San Diegans.
There was a 37-day streak
of daily gas price increases
that ended Friday, March 2.
These, mega increases drastically made an impact on
the economy and student allowances for other -material/
non-material expenses and
necessities.
"It puts a limit on where
you can go. It's just school
and work, and that's it," student Rose Jauregui said.
San Diegans are paying ap-
per gallon than the average
person in the United States
as of Feb. 26, 2012, according to the Lundberg Survey of fuel prices. In one
week, the gas prices in San
Diego jumped from $4.07
to $4.32—the highest of
the season. As of Tuesday,
March 6, the average price
of gas in San Diego is $4.36
and at the current moment is
considered to be falling, the
survey reported.
"It sucks a lot. I think it
definitely affects the students who are already poor
as it is," student Christa Van
Voorhees said.

Dallas Willard speaks about knowledge, authority
JESSIE G AHBREL L
S TAF F W RITE R
USC professor Dallas Willard spoke to students, staff
and faculty about his philosophical views on Thursday,
March 8.
Once everyone was seated,
the event's emcee, Timothy
Mosteller, addressed the audience about Willard's history. He went on to share about
how the two first met; Mosteller was a student of Willard's at USC back in 1989
where Willard has taught
since 1965.
Willard has also written
many books and articles and
has been involved in many
boards, committees and organizations, including the
C.S. Lewis Foundation, Biola University and the Western Association of Schools .
During the lecture, Willard
spoke of many of his philosophical views including the
human quest f o r adequate,
life-basing knowledge, acting without sufficient knowledge and the concept of authority.
"Good authority is authority you can question and
test," Willard said.
Regarding good authority,
he used the example of times
tables; everyone knows their
multiplication tables. but he

wondered if we know how
we got them. He concluded
that we don't question it, we
just take it as is.
He then spoke about faith
and knowledge.
"Knowledge is always
objective. Knowledge is always political in its effects.
You believe something when
you are ready to act [in appropriate circumstances] as
if it were so. You always live
up to your faith, but you do
not always live up to your
profession," Willard said.
Willard then took the lecture in a different direction, speaking on the lighter
subject of spring break. He
shared that ever since he
started at USC, spring break
was called Easter break.
" I am all for celebrating
spring, but something" has
gone wrong in our society
to deny that Easter is about
someone who died and came
back to life. We need to return to thinking about the basis of life," Willard said.

CSUSM flagpoles perhaps
disrespect flag
Craven circle display n o t u p t o p a r
J ESSI E G AMBREL L
S TAF F W R I T E R
In the center of Craven
Circle stands three flagpoles,
one holding the CSUSM flag,
another holding the California flag and the middle one
holding the American flag.
This is all good and proper,
but when it comes to the
American flag, it is standard
protocol that our country's
flag should be higher than
any other flag next to it, unless there is a line-up of flags
from other countries, according to the U.S. Marine Corps
Flag Manual.
As the daughter of a 30year U.S. Marine, I felt compelled to see that our American flag is not disrespected,
especially at our school. So,
I called up Lieutenant Douglass Miller at the Campus
Police, and he explained everything to me, being a U.S.
Marine in the Color Guard
before serving at our school.
He explained to me that according to his U.S. Marine
Corps Color Guard guide*
"No other flag or pennant
should be placed above or, if
on the same level, to the right
of the nationalflag**.~
With that being said, the
flag poles in Craven Circle
are not, per say, breaking any
rules, but it is still "pushing
the limits" with disrespect
toward our flag.
As a precaution, the Campus Police always make sure
to bring the American flag
all the way to the top and the

of Craven Hall, you can see
how the heights of the flags

This is the most we can do
f o r now, unless the campus
stumbles upon funding f o r
new flagpoles. The flagpoles
are very expensive, and
since the flagpoles are on a
slope as it is, the foundation
for them is very unstable,
causing further difficulties
in construction and manage-
ment. In fact, Lt. Miller said
that when he first got here,
they were uneven, and the
cables were tangled. He said
he got that fixed right away.
N o m atte r w ha t t h e c as e
may be, there are ways
to honor and respect our
American flag, whether by
awareness or fundraising activities. Our American flag is
the symbol of our nation, so
to have it in it's proper and
rightful spot in the sky is our
duty to our nation.

Just recently, I found out
that the mother of a girl I
know died in a car accident.
While the event in itself is
devastating, I found something in the mother's back
story to be even more shocking: she was a cancer survivor.
%
After hearing about her
death, I began to think about
other people who have suffered similar fates—not
necessarily cancer survivors
who die in car accidents, but
people who essentially survive something life threatening only to die in unexpected
circumstances.
Thè first example that occurred to me was U.S. Marine Anthony Vargas who
was stabbed and killed at a
house party in the San Bernardino area in 2009. The incident was reported to have
taken place just days before.
his secpnd tour of duty in
Afghanistan. He survived
one tour only to bg killed in a
home-setting where soldiers
shouldn't have to worry for
their lives.
Another example that came
to mind was the death of
Ryan Dunn, star of the MTV
television series and movie
series "Jackass." Dunn spent
so much of his time on the
show taking part in reckless
stunts that ranged from seatchanging while speeding to
chugging an entire bottle of
tequila. It came as a surprise
when news broke about his
death in a car accident in
2011.
If you search "ironic
deaths" online, you \yill be
shown many lists that feature
these types of deaths. Some
ironic deaths mentioned are
actually quite humorous because of how outrageous
they are. However, there is
-a painful reality behind the

the first time in five years
Master Chief has starred a
game. While not much of the
plot has been revealed, the
game's online trailers suggest a darker mood than the
previous installments.
"Kid Icarus; Uprising" is
the first major release for
Nintendo's 3DS system of
2012 which will be arriving in stores on March 23.
Steeped in Greek mythology,
the game follows a young
hero named Pit as he traverses the skies to battle Medusa. This will be the newest "Kid Icarus" game in 20
years, and I ' m hoping it lives
up to the fame of the original games. The game has two
modes: aerial combat and
ground combat. Pit will be
able to upgrade his weapons
and gain new ones throughout his harrowing journey.
Though it is still very early
in the year, gamers have the

a lot of new information on

One of the biggest games
oOne of the biggest games
of the year, "Mass Effect
3," was released earlier this
month. While this game
was released quite early in
2012, this year has some
very promising games yet to
come.
The "Assassin's Creed"
series has recently been lacking in terms of originality.
The past three games have
featured the same main character, Ezio, and it's about
time we heard about the next
game in the series, "Assassin's Creed III." This new
game will take place in the
bloody days of the American Revolution. Players will
control a half-Native American named Connor as they
battle their way through the
snowy frontier of New England .The new, uniquesetUng
is a welcome change from
the seemingly overdone cityscapes of Italy .
The first-person shooter
"BioShock: Infinite" is also
due out toward the end of
this year. The latest installment takes place in the dangerous city of Columbia
located high in the sky. The
new location is bright and
vivid as opposed to the dingy
Rapture where the previous
two games took place. "BioShock: Infinite" features a
new device called the skyhook which allows players
to quickly zip line from platform to platform. The game
promises plenty of strange
and exciting secrets much
like the series' previous entries.
Master Chief will be returning this year for more
explosive. action in "Halo
4." The Xbox 360 exclusive
has changed development
teams from Bungie to 343
Industries. Whether or not
that is a good thing remains
three'mentioned here.
Far too often, you will hear
about soldiers who die while
on leave, whether in a car
accident or by murder. And
thankfully, cancer survivors
often live long enough to
tell their story. But there's a
real tragedy taking place in
all these instances, as well
as many others that can tie
into the similarity in the irony. Perhaps the devastation
comes from the unexpected
shock of the outcome of
these events—the surprise,
essentially.
While it is quite literal for
the soldiers who share this
fate, these individuals are
all fighting one war and then
dying in a completely unexpected one. Hie environment
of the illusory war where
they- experience their tragic
fate doesn't resemble their
real war whatsoever, leading
to an untimely and startling
outcome.

Tatum and Hill: comedic dream team
STAFF WRITER
"21 Jump Street" starring
Channing Tatum and Jonah
Hill, is a remake based off
the 1980s television series
of the same title. The plot
for both the show and movie
is young cops going undercover as high school students to solve a crime.
But that is where the similarities end. While the 4 80s
show is classic, each episode taught the audience a
lesson. The movie is a modern, comedic take on what
would happen if two young
cops went undercover at a
high school.

The good thing about "21
Jump Street" is it's not really a remake. It's not as
predictable as other comedies. There is still the raunchiness, but some of the
comedy is slapstick as well.
The audience laughed from
the start of the movie to the
very end. "21 Jump Street"
is the perfect mix of comedy
and action.

If the latest live-action
Disney release, "John Cart"TrT bombs ai the trox office,
the only reason responsible
will be the terrible marketing for the movie.
Trailers for the film have
advertised it to look like
another "Prince of Persia"
installment mixed with the
arena scenes from "Star
Wars Episode II: Attack of
the Clones " (If it weren't
for the alien creatures featured, "Gladiator" would've
been a much more suitable
comparison).
However, the one arena
scene in "John Carter" lasts
only about five minutes and
is featured about two-thirds
of the way through the
movie. What remains is far
greater than marketing has
led audiences to believe.
Based on what is considered the first science-fiction
novel, "A Princess of Mars"
by Edgar Rice Burroughs,
tells the story of Civil War
veteran John Carter through
a journal following his
death. The journal being
read by his nepftew; E<3giar
Rice Burroughs, who has
just inherited Carter's entire
estate, contains a documentation of the last thirteen
years, in which Carter was
transported to Mars where
he took part in a civil war
taking place on the neighbor
planet.
The acting isn't great* but
the story is fascinating as it
deals with parallelism between civilizations. While
many might compare the
plot to those of such films
as "Avatar," "Dances with
Wolves" and "The Last
Samurai," it is merely timing that accounts for this, as
Burroughs wrote the original story in 1912.
There are a lot of comedic
moments, which balance
nicely with the epic sci-fi atmosphere of the film. Most
notable is the miscommuni-

CSUSM theater students
present: Spring Awakening
\ rock musical exploring teenagers tumultuous sexuality
B RANDO N T ORRE S
S TAF F W R I T E R
The CSUSM Visual and
Performing Arts department
is presenting a seven-night
production of "Spring Awakening."
This controversial play
was initially banned in several countries throughout the
world in the early 1900s due
to its blunt portrayal of abortion, homosexuality, rape,
child abuse, suicide, masturbation and sadomasochism.
When shown in New York
in 1917, public outcry forced
production of the play to shut
down due to charges of obscenity;
"My character...is a philosopher. He's constantly
questioning society. Religion
is what he's mainly questioning. Religion was so influ-
ential in society at the time.
He's always pursuing knowledge," said Christopher Murphy, CSUSM senior playing
the lead role of Melchior.
Throughout the play, the
audience follows four teenagers and their sexual realizations while trying to
navigate through our . sexsaturated culture. The play
maintains a comedic tone
and employs alternative rock
as part of its musical score.
''This play is still relevant
tod.ay because teen sexuality
is still taboo. The play raises
questions on teenage life,
not just sexuality. The playwright [Frank Wedekind]
thought adults Were moronic .
All adults are illogical, and
their names indicate that,"
Murphy said.
" I' m most excited about
exploring the different as-
pects of sexuality. There's
heterosexual sex, queer sex,
masturbation, dealing with
abortion and there's even
S&M. Experiencing how the
audiences react is something
I ' m most excited about
The sex scene, while short,
is very intimate. This play
deals with sex in a very real
way, and is impactful," Murphy said.
Tickets are $10 for general
admission, or $5 for students
with ID. Tickets are available at the door. Performances
begin Wednesday, April 4 at
7 p.m. and continue throughout the weekend. The performances will take place at the
Arts Building, Room 111.
Please note: The sexual
content in this play may not
be appropriate for children
12 and under.

narrated by Russell with occasional help from his son,
Gavin. The mission revolves
around the idea that to stop
Kony, people must know
who he is and understand his
brutal actions.
On April 20, the Invisible
Children Foundation plans
to "Cover the Night" in cities
all over the country to spread
awareness of Kony to stop
his 26-year-rule of abducting
around 30,000 children and
forcing the boys to kill their
parents and join his army of
the LRA (that has occasionally promoted peace) and the
girls to be sex slaves.

In August, CSUSM announced several of the oncampus food and beverage
providers would be managed
by the Sodexo company in
hopes of creating positive
growth.
Sodexo, a food and facilities management services
company, was introduced to
CSUSM students on Aug. 16
by campus email. Sodexo
already serves more than
900 educational institutions,
including hospitals, military
bases, government agencies and conference centers across the nation and in
some parts of Mexico and
Canada. The Big Cat Bistro,
Big Cat Market, on campus
Starbucks and all conference
and event catering will now
be managed by Sodexo, just
one semester after PepsiCo
was chosen as the sole beverage provider f o r the campus,
One of the most visual
changes came in the form of
new uniforms for employees
at the Dome's Big Cat Bistro,
All of the food servers and
cashiers are now in Sodexo
official uniforms,
"I love it, I feel like they're
taking our Big Cat Bistro to
a better level. I hope that the
student body is noticing the
change. I wasn't a fan of [the
uniforms] but work's work,
It makes it look more clean

Hydration is arguably one
of the easiest ways to help
maintain your physical and
mental health.
Inadequate water consumption can impair cognitive function, impairing
concentration, alertness, and
short-term memory.
According to the European
Hydration Institute (EHI),
the brain represents only 2
percent of total body weight.
However, it utilizes greater
than 20 percent of total blood
circulation. When you are
dehydrated, blood volume
decreases. Consequently, the
amount of oxygen and vital
nutrients that are sent to your
brain can also decrease, impairing brain function.
Hydration can be a critical determinant of physical
performance. The effects of
dehydration are exacerbated
by physical activity, especially in hot environments,
longer exercise duration, and
greater exercise intensity. In

Junior Mary Green, a kinesiology major, is the premier outside midfielder for
the CSUSM women's soccer
team.
Q: What got you started
in soccer?
A: I just played a variety of
sports when I was younger
and just happened to like
soccer the most. My older
sister played soccer as well
so that might have drawn me
towards it more, and the fact
my dad was my coach.
Q: Do you think your future involves soccer?
A: I think thai I will try and
always keep myself around
soccer like watching games
and hopefully my kids want
to play soccer, but I d on' t
plan on going professional
or playing at the next level
after this. I know I ' m going
to miss it so much though
because I 'v e been involved
with soccer since I was 4
(years old). It's all I know.
Q: What are your goals
for this season?
A: It's always to do my
best, but as for the team, it
is to go farther than we did
last year and win nationals.
wwwxsusmcougars.com
I think because our team is
so young this year and I ' m
a junior, one of my goals is
also to be a leader on and off
the field this year, be an example and be encouraging to
everyone.
Q: What teams are you
most excited to play this
season?
A: Probably Westmont,
who we played Sept. 18, because they ended our season
last year and knocked us out
of nationals, so we had unfinished business still.

Adequate water consumption during exercise helps
prevent the reductions in
blood volume, muscle blood

in core temperature that accompanies dehydration.
According to the Mayo
Clinic, it is recommended
that adults drink at least eight
8-ounce glasses of water per
day.
To calculate how much
water you need, divide your
body weight in half and use
this number in ounces as the
amount of water you should

Twice a week CSUSM devotes time for student interactions and mingling during
the Tuesday and Thursday
U -hourfro m noon - 1 p.m.
In 2006, Cal State San
Marcos proposed a program
that increased campus engagement while meeting the
needs of CSUSM's diverse
population of 6,300 students.
University Hour, or U-Hour,
was established in hopes of
engaging freshmen in college life, encouraging student
participation in extracurricular activities and connecting
students and faculty outside
of the classrootfi.
After extensive research
by Institutional Planning &
Analysis (IP & A), it was
determined that peak lecture
hours where between 9 a m .
and 3 p.m., and a larger student population was on campus on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
In the 2006 IP & A preliminary study of U-hour, the department packet report said
"With a continued robust
Tuesday and Thursday class
schedule, a University Hour
on those days would further
strengthen the tradition by
allowing for focused and
consistent programming and
accommodate student organization meetings, department
meetings, workshops and
seminars and high profile
events."
Many students usually go
off campus for lunch or to
run errands.
"During U-hour, I usually just go get food with my
friend. I don't hang around
school, but I do know that
there is always some kind of
event or tabling at U-Hour to
check out," Ashley Aronson
said.
" I like to go get a slice
from Flippin'!," someone
who wishes to remain anonymous said.
Some students also like to
work on homework.
"I would normally just go
into the Starbucks room and
do homework and sip on a
cool drink," said Amanda
Koshley.
"I usually do homework,
or meet up with my friends
for lunch, or I go to the College Republicans meetings,"
Jackie Perciado said.
There are also some students who like to relax at
the many benches or walls
and enjoy a beautiful day on
campus.
"I like to sit in the sun like
a flower absorbing the sun,"
Walter Valle said.
"I like to just sit and "people-watch," Darryl Mendoza
said.

CSUSM welcomes its newest sorority
B Y K A T U N S WEENE Y
FEATURES E DITO R
Finding a solid support
system in college is essential
to success, and the women
of Alpha Omicron Pi exemplify the qualities necessary
to help young women on the
path to greatness.
In the chapter's inaugural year at CSUSM, Alpha
Omicron Pi has constructed
a framework built upon the
values that will give each
member a unique sense of
character arid confidence.
"As a new organization,
our goal is to follow the values that over 150,000 members of AOII chapters across
the United States and Canada
follow," CSUSM president
of the Alpha Omicron Pi,
Jenneca Bacon, said. "Some
of these values [include] inspiring women to grow personally and professionally,
giving back to CSUSM and
the community through our
involvement on campus and
establishing bonds that last a
lifetime." Alpha Omicron Pi's members are no strangers to
campus involvement. Many
members are heavily rooted
in organizations such as Tukwut Leaders Circle, Intervarsity, ASI, Resident Advisors,
Peer Mentor Programs, and
Honor Societies.
Besides participating in
campus events, the sorority will be hosting its own
national philanthropy event,
"Strike Out Arthritis," later
this year.
Their goal is to eliminate
arthritis and the effects it has
on people of all ages.
This dedication to campus organizations and their
strong foundation of friendship and service allows for
Alpha Omicron Pi to represent women of exemplary
characteristics. "Our sorority prides itself on the diversity of the members and the
friendshipstthat we havecre-^
ated together," said Bacon.
"We stand for character, dignity, scholarship, service and
college loyalty and we strive
to exceed the expectation."
Alpha Omicron Pi believes
that participating in Greek
Life helps to support their
members' education by giving them a strong group of
friends, increased communi-
ty involvement and academic
events such as study nights
and workshops.
Recruitment week is at the
beginning of each fall and
spring semester.
In order to rush any sorority or fraternity, students must
have completed 12 units
through CSUSM, transfer
student units, or AP credit.
While they just completed
J hei r fall recruitment week,
Alpha Omicron Pi is still
interested in meeting new
women to join their sorority.

If y ou'v e ever spent time
at CSUSM or Palomar College, you are probably already aware of the hidden
Thai food gem that is Happy
Chang.
In the midst of a small,
older strip mall off of West
Mission Road near Palomar
College, is a perfect hangout spot for locals and students craving organic Thai
food. Whether it's lunch or
dinner, the portions are generous and delicious. Most
entrees are under $10, with
occasional specials f o r lunch
and students.
Favorites include P anang ,
Pad Thai, Pad Se-Ew and
Orange Chicken. Panang is
a type of curry with coconut
milk, bell pepper, sweet basil
and lime leaves. Pad Thai is
made with chicken and Pad
Se-Ew is made with beef.
Their Orange Chicken, made
as spicy as possible, is served
with a tall glass of water or a
Thai Tea.
"I enjoy t h e restaurant,"
patron Christine Hake said.
"My
friend
and I
will go just
to hang out
and
have

our breaks, j
The guy
gave
us free
Thai ice
tea." Jonny Hughes agreed,
"Service wise, they're pretty
cool. Sometimes they give
you free food if they get to
know you."
The décor is an eclectic
mix of Thai trinkets, whimsical flowers, elephant sculptures and an unexplained collection of Betta fish. Happy
Chang has a real sense of
individual enterprise and is
outside the typical chainrestaurant, designed for an
unadventurous palate. Expand your horizons, hang out
and try either the friedriceor
the Orange Chicken made to
a low level of spiciness, 1-3.
Patrons can take advantage of the 1-10 spicy scale.
If you are more accustomed
to traditionally spicy Thai
food, specify a higher level
of spiciness.
"I think it's pretty good.
Especially their fried rice.
I also like how they let you
select how mild or spicy you
want it to be. Not to mention
they have boba," patron Arianna Contrado said.
Happy Chang is open
I I a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday
through Friday, noon to 9
p.m. on Saturdays, and 3
p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays at

As for the Obama administration's backpedaling on the
planned attack to "a spontaneous response," the answer
lies in electoral politics.
If the administration maintains the truth that this was a
planned attack, it could hurt
the reelection bid, as someone would ask how our intelligence missed this.
Someone had to pick up
some form of SIGJNT (signals intelligence [phone
calls, emails, radios, etc.])
about this attack. Where was
the ball dropped?
By claiming the attack was
"spontaneous," it allows
the administration to cover
themselves by denying any
knowledge of the attack before it happened.
This comes at the cost of
the memories of four deceased Americans.
O PINIO N E DITO R
Have you heard the news?
Any news day is often littered with things to get upset
about, but the recent embassy attack in Libya and antiIslam film "Innocence of
Muslims" seriously remind
us about global issues and
intolerance.
Protests to each are underway and several university campuses have received
bomb threats as a form of
retaliation.
It is at this point that I am
thankful to the dean of students and the campus civility campaign for holding
CSUSM to a higher standard
of excellence. The tenets to
this campaign are care, respect, empathy, culture and
humanity.
Take the pledge.
The fact of t h e
matter is most things
that can make you
sick are odorless,
colorless, and tasteless. This could be a
cold o r it could be
so much worse, as
something intentionally placed in your
drink. Never leave
your drink unattended and never share
your germs!

screen and other advice
B Y A MIR A E L-KHAOUL I
O PINIO N E DITO R
Getting sick is never any
f u n and while misery loves
company, I am not a fan of
spreading the illness. Tips to
staying healthy on a college
campus are as follows:
If you have a fever: You
are contagious. Please stay
home.
Fevers are associated with
the common cold, the flu,
and mononucleosis. I am
now on day 18 of a cold.
And go figure, I know who I
caught it from. Think about
the classes, work and other
activities you will be robbing
others of when you come t o
school like that.
Don't share drinks, towels,
makeup, pillows or anything
else you can think of that is
a personal item. Your face is
your most precious resource.
Think about how pink eye
spreads and guard yourself
carefully. Also helpful is
washing your hands.
Sexually transmitted diseases are no joke. Stop being
gross and put on a condom. I
always hear the "it's easier
said than done" excuse and
there's really only one thing
to say. Figure it out. I get
pretty pissed about colds, so
don't even think about playing Russian Roulette with a
life-threatening or lifelong
ailment.
Also, if you haven't noticed, there is (arms spread
wide apart) this much walking and (fingers held together) this many elevators,
which may only work intermittently. Coming to campus
after drinking the night before is not a good idea.
Your mother might not
have told you, but don't eat
leftovers. Refrigerator shelf
life is merely five days. Consider anything that's not in
the fridge toxic, with few exceptions.
If you are a caffeine or
sugar addict, try interchanging your drinks with water.
One Red Bull, one water, one
soda, one water.
You may not think about
caffeine intoxication but it's
very easy behavior to pick
out. You will start acting
... hmmm ... a good way to
describe it would be bizarre,
stupefied or unable to think
and feel properly.
Allergies can be the bane
of existence. Items you
should always have with you
if you're a fellow allergy
sufferer are an extra shirt or
coat, hand sanitizer and eye
drops. On a similar note,
could we get refills at the
campus' sanitize stations?
Also, I wouldn't mind less

The book addresses the
legacy of Chicana feminism
that continues to reverberate
today as contemporary activists, artists and intellectuals
struggle to revise and rework
this vision of liberation. Dr.
Blackwell was informative,
enthusiastic, passionate and
peppered the speech with

Although Mark Owen's

the press and is now common knowledge, I chose to
use the pseudonym the author published under as per
the wishes of Owen and his

Dr. Blackwell's lecture was
an eye opener and a good
learning experience.
" I didn't know about some
of the information she talked

Needless to say, the lecture

This 2012 fall semester
has brought two new faces
to CSUSM's theater department. Kaja Dunn and Victor
Contreras come to campus to
bring new and exciting flavors to the theater program.
Merry1 Goldberg, director
of the Visual and Performing
Arts Department, is excited
for these new Cougar professors to bring something different and interesting to the
department.
Professor Kaja Dunn has
been acting for 14 years
and has 12 years in education. She also directs theater,
having just co-directed the
CSUSM play festival. She
has experience in teaching
for Playwrights Project and
Young Audiences. Some of
her credits include: "The
Best Christmas - Pageant
Ever," "One for the Road,"
"The Vagina Monologues"
in West Los Angeles" and A
Raisin in the Sun."
"I plan on staying here as
long as I can. The classes
are enthusiastic and there is
a great energy on campus.
The people are really great to
work with here," Dunn said.
Professor Victor Contreras started teaching theater
and speech in 1974, in the
Sweetwater school district,
which had the first "Fame"
style school on the West
Coast. In the late 1980s, he
decided to pack up his bags
