"Bid day" at CSUSM welcomes prospective members to its Greek community
The intersection of Craven
Road and Twin Oaks Valley Road
often accumulates congested traffic. The congested traffic creates
chaos for Cougars and local residents. Recently, the San M arcos
S heriffs Department notified
CSUSM of the constant complaints they receive regarding
the intersection. Due to the overwhelming complaints f rom city
residents, the s heriffs department
plans to focus more attention on
the intersection.
The s heriffs department aims
to enforce all vehicle codes, but
more specifically, they plan to
focus on violations of Vehicle
Code 22526, also known as the
Anti-Gridlock Law. The viola-
tion costs approximately $150.
University police are currently
focusing on other aspects of t raffic inside CSUSM. If the s heriffs
department requests assistance in
patrolling the intersection, then
university police will o ffer its
support in the matter as well.
Drivers violate the code when
"they are sitting in a busy intersection and it is his/her t urn t o go
through but they cannot make it
all the way through the light and
it t urns red. They are blocking
the intersection," said Lieutenant
Douglas Miller of the University
Police Department.
"It is pretty basic. You block
the intersection and you get a
ticket j ust like anywhere else. The
problem is really that the t raffic is

Thursday, Feb. 21 —' The

the f ilm, 'Maquilapolis: City
of Factories' followed by a discussion with filmmaker, Sergio
D e L a Torre and promotoras,
Hispanic community outreach
workers, f rom Tijuana featured
in the film.
There are currently about
4,000 maquiladoras across the
Mexican border. Eighty percent
of the labor force in maquiladoras (factories) are women.
Women are o ften preferred over
men because they are "cheap,
docile and have agile hands."
The
average
maquiladora
worker receives $11 p er day.
"We are simply objects of
labor," said a f actory worker in
the film.
To create the film, filmmakers collaborated with f actory
workers in Tijuana, community
organizations in Mexico and the
United States to illustrate globalization through the eyes of
the women at the center of t he
industry. The film f ocuses on
the devastating impacts of globalization on its f actory workers
and the environment.
Filmmakers provided the
women with cameras and taught
them how to shoot. For five
years t he women documented
their daily lives. The film concentrated on the abandoned f actories and toxic waste products
dumped throughout the com-
munity.
" Tijuana is nobody's trashcan," exclaimed one f rustrated
worker in the film.
Although
'Maquilopolis'
stresses the f act that globalization provides corporate f reedom to move around the world
in pursuit of cheap labor and
lenient environmental regulations, it also shows that workers
can organize ways t o demand
appropriate law enforcement
successfully.
In t he film, many of the women
were fighting back against the
companies they worked for.
Carmen D uran and her coworkers filed suit against Sanyo Electric Company for their entitled
severance pay when the company abandoned their f actory in
Tijuana and moved to Indonesia. At t he end of t he film, their
case settled and they received
severance pays ranging f rom
$1000-$2000.
A fter the screening, CSUSM
faculty member, Dr. Ranjeeta
Basu, introduced De La Torre
and three promotoras to a round
of applause f rom the lecture hall.
The featured guests were met
with a multitude of questions
stemming f rom the film.

Many students placed blame
on t he Mexican government for

and asked why certain laws were

Today, Tuesday Feb. 26,
during University Hour, Multicultural Programs will host
its first ' Thinking Outside the
[lunch] Box forum in University Hall 10Q.
The T hinking Outside the
[lunch]Box series is a monthly
forum facilitated by Cal State
instructors and/or guests to
have an open and safe discussion about that session's particular topic. This month's topic
is: "Are you passing?"
"Passing is a sociological
concept which refers to members of a racial group being
accepted by others of a different race," explains Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs.
Facilitating this event is Dr.
Elise as well as Dr. Wilson of
Cal State San Marcos, in conjunction with Lori Walkington,
a graduate student of CSUSM.
With a diverse group of educated and insightful facilitators
with a willingness to learn, this
event is sure to attract the attention of many students eager t o get
involved, let their voices be heard,
and make connections.
"Statistics say that students
who form relationships outside
of classrooms are more likely t o
graduate and continue on to grad.
school and these venues provide
opportunities to make connections and social support groups
outside of the classroom," states
Franklin.
The forum coordinators are
looking forward to engaging students and answering any questions or ideas that they may have.
"It would be a good place to
meet people that have different
opinions about 'passing'. It's an
avenue to discuss relevant contemporary issues and eat f ree
food," said Kevin Chatham, a student Peer Educator at the Cross
Cultural Center.
Multicultural Programs encourages any student enticed by the
promise of f ree food and the
opportunity to discuss contemporary issues to attend the monthly
event.

Business Major Scott Brankov.
Miller offers several suggestions in reducing congestion for
Cougars. He identifies 7:45 a.m.
to 9:00 a.m., Monday through
Thursday; 9:30 a.m. to 10:00
a.m., on Monday and Wednesday; and 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.,
on Tuesday and Thursday as peak
traffic times. Miller f urther suggests that by increasing awareness of these times Cougars can
arrive at alternate times to reduce
the problems associated with
peak traffic congestion.
"Nobody parks in X, Y, or Z
lot. Very few students park in
upper or lower B lot. If people
managed when they came onto
campus and parked on B, X,
Y, and Z lots then they would
reduce a lot of traffic. They
pass open spaces. If we can get
people to show up on non-peak
times and park in other spaces,
it would greatly reduce t raffic,"
said Miller.

lies that have to deal with rebuilding their homes and coping with
the loss of material possessions.
Some organizations are doing
their part to help out the children
affected by the fires, providing
them with school supplies, clothing, and other essential items for
everyday living.
Monetary items are not the
only things that people are donating. The San Diego Fire Recovery Network (SDFRN) provides
preventative safety information,
with the belief that knowledge
plays a huge role and should be
shared with the people of Southern California. This organization
believes that people can create
a better living environment by
learning how to prevent another
horrific fire f rom occurring.
SDFRN holds wildfire update
meetings in order to inform the
public about the current recovery
process. The network also holds
field trips that teach the community how to preserve the wildlife
around them.

We have all seen it, but have
only spared a glance in its direction as we just continue on our
merry way to Cougar Central
or the University Store. It is
that one lone room on the third
floor of Craven Hall right across
the hall from the plethora of
murals. It is room 3400-A—better known as the Cross Cultural
Center—a place that is warm
and open to anyone looking
for a multicultural and sociable
experience. Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs, describes it as, "A physical space to relax, with access to
computers, printers, and a multicultural library to help them
academically. It is also an area
where you can critically discuss
issues of multiculturalism and
diversity."
The Cross Cultural Center is
an accepting environment with
a multitude of different students
who go there to relax, do homework, or simply take a break
fj-om class to be with friends.
Furthermore, with a courteous
staff of Student Peer Educators
whom have an extensive knowledge of the environment and
a host of diversity programs,
there is much to learn from
them as well as C3's visitors. "I
love being a part of the growing
diversity on campus and giving
other people the opportunity to
interact with other cultures,"
says Auriel Dice, a Student
Peer Educator in the C3.
The academic and personal
growth aspects of C3 are
valuable to one's growth as a
person, and what better way
is there to learn, than to learn
while having fun? With the
combination of a set of large,
red, and very comfortable
couches as well as a giant 42"
plasma ^screen, it is paradise
for any student who wishes
to relax while watching the
news or Discovery Channel.
Along with the connections
that the visitors and staff of
the C3's bring, the center is
also conveniently connected
with the Student Life & Leadership office (SLL), home to
Orientation Team, Greek life,
and 80+ other student organizations.
"So many different people
come in and just hang," says
Kevin Chatham, Student Peer
Educator of C3, "It's a friendly
place with a lot of laughs and
smiles." With its warm atmosphere, welcoming environment, and room to relax, learn,
and grow, the Cross Cultural
Center is a room on campus
that should be visited regularly.
In addition, having made a multitude of lifelong friendships in
that office myself, it'd be hard
to not find me in C3 regularly.
.of the most similar 'cheap' alternatives is the COBY MP-C582 Clip
MP3 Player. The MP-C582 is a
1GB player with all of the rudimentary functions of the iPod Shuffle,
though marginally less attractive.
The COBY player retails for as low
as $25, but has received sub-par
reviews relating to the aesthetics
and dependability.
One of thé more popular alternatives is the Creative Zen V. The
Zen V 1GB player sports a $59.99
price tag and boasts a 1.5-inch color
screen. The price tag along with
fact that the device has a screen
makes it one of the more desirable
choices among the vast sea of lowcapacity MP3 players.

So what does it mean to the college student to have instant energy

"play a huge role on campus". At
any point during the day, a student is able to quickly make up
for those few hours of sleep they
missed by popping open a Monster. But does a highly caffeinated, artificiallyflavoredbeverage
really fill the void? Its hard to tell
at this point, since the long term
effects of the energy drink craze
has not yet been fully observed.
It is important though, to understand the healthy alternatives that
are made available to students on
campus at CSUSM. When asked
about a healthy alternative, Nie-
dens (Cougar Store manager) suggested "Yerba Mate" which is an
organic, naturally caffeinated tea
reminiscent of a green tea flavor.
Yerba Mate has just recently been
made available for purchase in the

Another alternative to gain
just a bit of energy and or focus
is Vitamin Water. Also according
to Niedens, "Vitamin water is our

are still choosing the healthy alternative to give them that extra pick

It would not be a surprise, however, to see the way energy drinks
are advertised and distributed on
college campuses nationwide for
years to come.

�Trestles: surf sanctuary safe f or n ow
BY ELBERT E SGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
An elderly statesman reminisced
about how he spent his youth long
ago at San Onofre State Beach. His
worn blue eyes, grey hair and grizzled voice emitted a sense of familiarity that could send you back in
time f ifty years ago.
In those days, families would
load up their vans with tents and
surfboards and take a weekend
drive to relax and enjoy unscathed
vistas of the 3.5 miles of cool ocean
breeze and sandy shores. It's one of
the benefits living there in this area
- being able to enjoy a great number
of outdoor activities like running
and hiking trails or simply watching
surfers and wildlife as they crash up
and down waves.
As he continued speaking, he
would go on to mention how much
of a blessing the land is as well as
the entire state park system of California, like this one in San Onofre.
It would be a shame that if many
years from now, asphalt highways
obliterated the natural settings only
to save commuters countless hours
stuck in traffic each year.
Though softly spoken, his words
resonated with the importance of
maintaining this natural reserve and
how simply laying pavement over
them cannot solve problems. Some
things are better left in nature's
hands and simply be left untouched
by the hordes of politicians and
developers. The name of this man,
for those curious, was Clint East-
wood.
As the epitome of the California
surf culture, beachgoers and surfers always speak with high regard
about the pristine qualities of San
Onofre State Beach ~ particularly
the area known as Trestles Beach.
It houses numerous breaks that
range from beginner sets, to some
of the finer breaks here on the west
coast. These wetlands that are situated right on the Oceanside and San
Clemente border maintains an environmentally-friendly surrounding,
untouched by land developers, and
one of the few of its kind that exists
along the California coastline.
Even though this state paik is
the fifth-most visited amongst the
278 state parks in California—frequented by surfers and swimmers
alike for its famous surf spots—it
doesn't just cater to them. People
come in their campers and trailers
looking to admire a beautiful sunset
along a spot on the beach. Trestles
Beach is also a natural reserve that
serves as home to numerous flora
and fauna. Inaccessible by vehicles,
thrill seekers usually park their
cars off the side of a road and trek
through a long, winding trail from
either the upper or the lower ends
of the state park to find this hidden
gem of a surf spot.
For local Marines stationed in
nearby Camp Pendleton, the area
serves as a getaway from their dayto-day functions throughout the
week, providing a little rest and
relaxation. For them, Trestles is
an introduction t o the Pacific surf
culture, and for some, it's the first
beach they've ever seen.
Perhaps it is for this reason alone
that makes Trestles widely adored
within the surfing community;
earning its name as the Yosemite
of Surfing. Annually, the area is
host to world-class competitions
hosted by the Association of Surfing Professionals, such as last year's
Boost Mobile Pro, and events by the
National Scholastic Surfing Association.
Yet, for all of its prestige, Trestles
has seen its share of lingering and
potential issues that threaten its
serene shores.
The last several years have had
locals galvanizing a debate over the
latest issue that involves expanding
a proposed toll road (an extension
to State Route 241). The extension
would connect Orange County and
San Diego with the construction ofa
six-lane highway, and it is estimated
to cost somewhere around $875 million dollars to fund and help alleviate some of the traffic nightmares
on Interstate 5. The main goal is
to cut down gridlock for commuters who cross the borders into San
Diego County daily
In January, Gov. Schwarzenegger and a handful of other officials
threw their support behind the proposed project and generated even
more intense interest over the possible solutions, if any.
A 16-mile expansion would cut
right through the state park and end
right before hitting Trestles. Environmentalists and activists groups
SPRINTER
March 9,2008
argued that a highway of such magnitude would endanger wildlife and
eliminate miles ofhiking and biking
trails, reduce campground areas
and increase the amount of polluted
runoff into the park's watershed, not
to mention the loss of a world-class
surf spot. This is the first proposed
project of its kind to have a highway
run through any state park.
Anytime commuters hear of a
proposed solution to end gridlock,
they generally jump on the opportunity to listen. Today, roughly
125,000 vehicles pass through the
area each day. According to a study
done by the Transportation Corridor Agencies based out of Irvine, an
estimated trip down the Interstate 5
corridor could take almost an hour
to get through by the year 2025.
Earlier this month in Del Mar,
the California Coastal Commission
(CCC) held a hearing and listened to
the implications and concerns of the
expansion's opponents. The crowd
of more than 3,000 supporters provided testimonies and after 12 hours
of deliberation, the CCC voted
8-2 against any proposed highway
through San Onofre State Park thunderous cheers of approval followed the decision. The majority of
the supportersrepresentedthe "Save
Trestles" campaign, which for years
battled against such an expansion.
The Commission concluded that
aspects of the project simply failed
to meet with California coastal regulations, and is simply inconceivable.
Mainly, the reason for this ruling
by the panel was due to inconsistencies the project had with the law,
raising concerns for both the region
and social responsibility.
Peter Douglas, the executive
director of the CCC, said, "This toll
road raises fundamental questions
about what kind of environmental
and social future we want for our
coastal communities, our families,
our children and theirs."
Though the locals won this battle,
the war is still farfromover-Orange
county lobbyists have not conceded
defeat over this loss. The proponents of the state route expansion
intend to appeal to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to overrule the
Commission's ruling.
According to Thomas Margro,
the Foothill/Eastern Corridor Transportation Chief Executive Officer,
"This project is the best option for
relieving traffic congestion with the
least amount of impact on communities and the environment."
Still, the debate remains strong
whether a highway through a state
beach like the one threatening
Trestles Beach is the best solution.
Opponents to the highway expansion suggested studies that involve
expanding Interstate 5 using innovative designs that would accommodate traffic.
Through the debate though, one
thing remains clear: Trestles Beach
is a California icon. If you've only
been fortunate enough to drive
through the area, you 'are missing
out on something truly breathtakingr

Pride Investigates: Top 5 dirtiest places on campus
BY AMY SALISBURY
Pride Staff Writer
According to the Center for
Disease Control, the 2007-2008
Flu Season is one of the worst on
record. Some U.S. health officials
believe the severity is due to an
ineffectivefluVaccine while others
say the influenza strain's increasing antiviral resistance is to blame.
Either way, bacteria and viruses
are virtually inescapable.
Avoidance combined with prevention seems to be the best way
to steer clear of infection. But what
to evade? The following list draws
from numerous medical studies
and professional opinions to try to
shed light on what are most likely
the grimiest places on our campus.
1. Drinking Fountains
More like a rather large Petri
dish. Robert Donofrio, PhD, director of microbiology for NSF International, found as many as 2.7 million bacteria on any given square
inch of a public water spigot (compared to a measly 49 on a public
toilet seat) through an independent study conducted in 2005. The
reason for the incredible amount
of bacteria is because the faucet
is always wet, creating one marvelous environment for E. coli,
staphylococcus, and a whole host
of other tummy-turning microorganisms. If you must, run the water
for about 15 seconds before taking
a sip as a way of clearing a portion
of the existing bacteria.
2. Classrooms
That'sright.Those things you're
stuck in all day. University of Arizona researchers found that classroom desks have 20 times the
amount of bacteria as you would
find on an ordinary workplace
desk; 7 times that of a doctor's
office. "Desks are really bacteria
cafeterias," says Charles Gerba,
microbiologist. A classroom desk
has the capacity to support 10 million microorganisms at any given
time. What's more, the desk you're
at can keep a cold orflubug viable
for 72 hours, long enough to transfer them to several people. Antibacterial wipes can offer much
appreciated peace of mind; they do
kill 99% of surface germs.
3. Restroom Doors
Think about it. Every single
person going in or out of the bathroom has to touch the same place.
As said by the American Society
of Microbiologists, approximately
68% of people actually wash their
hands before leaving the restroom.
So, that means that nearly one third
of people have the ability to transfer the urine and fecal matter from
several people to the restroom
door, giving everyone the opportunity to share in the excitement.
Lovely. Rule of thumb: say your
ABCs while you wash your hands
as a good 20 seconds will cleanse
thoroughly.
4. Stair Handrails
It's no secret that CSUSM has

a rather hefty number of stairs on
campus, which provides an unusually high prospect for germs to be
exposed to a number of students.
Microbes open to the elements are
able to survive for about two hours
on the metal, non-porous painted
stair rails. As frightening as it is,
researchers have found everything
from streptococcus, staphylococcus, salmonella and shigella (the
culprits behind dysentery), and
even blood harboring hepatitis
A. When it comes to a surface as
common as stair railing, all I can
say is this: just don't touch.
5. Vending Machines
Essentially, outdoor things with
buttons on them are ghastly. If you
buy your parking permits by the
day, that keypad you touch can
have 3,295 bacteria per square
inch. Maybe you've decided to
bypass the drinking fountain for
bottled water. A vast improvement,
yes, but the array of germs on the
outside of the machine could trans-
fer from the button, to your hand,
to the bottle top, right on into your
mouth. Not only that, but paper
money is one of the dirtiest things
you can handle. Alcohol-based
hand sanitizers come in quite
handy in these situations, but be
careful as overuse can cause your
immune system to weaken.
As simple as it may seem, proper
hand washing technique is truly
your best defense against infection. If the faucet isn't automatic,
use a paper towel to turn it on. The
soap you use doesn't need to be
antibacterial, but you must lather
well, being sure not to ignore your
wrists or forget about your fingernails. After about 20 seconds
rinse thoroughly, and choose a
paper towel over an air dryer, as
it can blow bacteria all over your
freshly washed hands. Don't rely
on the alcohol-based hand sanitizers either; there's no substitute for
soap and water.

�UFC 82: Silva vs Henderson
Two of mixed martial arts elite middleweights square off for title
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
The best fight of 2008 could
come as early as March 2 as
Anderson "The Spider5' Silva
and Dan "Hollywood" Henderson face off for the UFC middleweight title at UFC 82: Pride of a
Champion. Silva, who sits atop
the summit of the world's best
pound-for-pound fighters, seeks
to defend his belt from Henderson, who holds the equivalent
welterweight belt from the now
defunct Pride promotion (Pride
welterweight and UFC middleweight are equivalent divisions).
"The Spider" entered the UFC
in 2006 and has dominated the
middleweight division with his
devastating stand up game. A
product of the famed Brazilian
"Chute Box" team, Silva is an
expert in Muay Thai and also
received his black belt in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu from Pride legend,
Antonio "Minotauro" Noguiera.
On Oct. 14,2006, Silva defeated
Rich Franklin at UFC 64 for the
middleweight belt, knocking out
the champion halfway into the
first round. Since then, Silva has
reined mercilessly over the division, successfully defending his
title against Travis Lutter, Nathan
Marquadt, and Rich Franklin in
his most recent fight, a rematch.
Prior to his current UFC reign,
Silva held the Cage Rage middle-
weight title from 2004 to 2006.
If there is only one middleweight contender in the world
that can beat Anderson Silva, it
is Dan Henderson. An Olympic caliber Greco-Roman wrestler, Henderson has consistently
proven himself to be a top-tier
fighter in both the 185 lb. and 205
lb. divisions.
From 2000 to 2007, Henderson fought against countless elite
fighters in Pride, where he eventually won and simultaneously
held the welterweight (185 lb.)
and middleweight (205 lb.) titles.
Most recently, Henderson lost
a hard fought, five round battle
for the UFC light heavyweight
title against Quinton "Rampage"
Jackson. Prior to that fight, Henderson knocked out Wanderlei
"The Axe Murderer" Silva, one
of the most ruthless fighters in
the history of MM A.
The Fight:
Silva can expect a f ull five
round war and should pace himself accordingly. Although one
of Silva's greatest strengths is
his Muay Thai clinch, he should
really avoid allowing Henderson
to close the distance.
The best place for Silva to win
this fight will be standing up,
delivering strikes from the outside and slowly working Henderson down. As precise a striker
as Silva may be, Henderson's
Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride
granite chin will make it difficult
for Silva to knock him out. Silva
needs to capitalize on any mistakes and put together combinations if he expects to knock out
Henderson.
Although Henderson has never
shied^ away from the stand-up
game, he needs to keep in mind
that Silva is one of the deadliest
strikers in the business. Should
he stand with Silva, Henderson
should keep him in close prox-
imity, where Silva's kicks, knees,
and jabs are much less effective.
Henderson will also find it
much easier to deliver his devastating hooks when Silva is trying
to separate. Henderson's GrecoRoman clinch will be his greatest source of control in the fight
and his greatest defense against
Silva's powerful knee strikes.
Taking the fight to the ground
where Silva is not as effective
in dealing damage should be a
key part of Henderson's strategy. Silva has not had to defend
his title into the late fourth and
fifth rounds, which is where Henderson should look to finish the
fight.
Prediction;
Dan Henderson wins the middleweight title by way of knockout late in the fourth round.

�Church's Influence on Sports
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
I have tried to stay away from
the steroid issue in baseball this
spring, but the NBA trade deadline wasn't as thrilling as I hoped,
but I was happy to see Ben Wallace go to the Cleveland Cavilers
and give King James some support.
But this week I want to talk
about two great players who
found a way to cheat the system
and maybe the legal system.
Both Roger Clemens and Barry
Bonds have put up unbelievable
numbers over the years in the
pros, but those numbers appeared
to be tampered.
Bonds, the single season and
career homerun leader in Major
League Baseball, may have found
a way to cheat the legal system
like he has cheated baseball all
these years. Bonds' legal team
has found typos in the filing by
prosecutors.
Now Bonds may have found
his scapegoat in perjury . and
obstruction of justice charges. A
typo in notes stating that Bonds
failed a drug test in 2001 was the
mistake, when the player called
"Barry B." failed a drug test in
2000 in the BALCO reports.
Here is my issue. Bonds you
cheated, you got caught, now face
the wrath. I understand that you
deserve a fair trial and that you
College Lif©
BY TOM COCKING
Pride Staff Writer
Every high school student
dreams of graduating senior year
and heading off to a new life in
college, f ull of partying, meeting
new people, getting a higher education, and of course no parents.
Some schools have the reputation
of being party schools; others
have the reputation of being
strictly education only.
To be honest I didn't hear much
about Cal State San Marcos other
than that it was really new and
I could get a good education. I
moved down here from South
Lake Tahoe, which is a real small
town, especially compared to
Southern California; so needless
to say, it was a bit of a culture
shock.
My sister went to SDSU and
it definitely had a great social
atmosphere. When I moved here,
I didn't get the same feeling; the
city of San Marcos was no college
town, to say the least. The longer
I live here the more I notice that
San Marcos is having trouble
accepting that it is becoming a
college town.
I had heard that when San
Marcos was first developing,
it was a retirement community
and now the older population is
slowly being replaced by much
younger families and college students. With all the rules and laws
it looks like the transition from
retirement community to college
town is going to be a rough one. It
seems as though the City of San
Marcos is trying its best to make
sure this town isn't "overrun" by
college students, which is start-
ing to really get to me.
Anyone who lives in San
Marcos or goes to this school
knows that every year it is growing and bringing youth with it.
Many like me whose home is
too far to obviously live there
and still attend CSUSM. So then
arises the question: where do we
live?
There are the dorms which can
only house so many, but other
than that college students have
to live off campus in residential
areas f ull of families, which is
you ask me is terrifying to any
adult. So we move into houses
and apartments and within the
month—especially where my
roommates and I live—there are
already complaints.
We party too much, we're up
too late, there are too many cars
parked outside, we're too loud,
it goes on an on. The question is
how do we solve this problem? I
don't enjoy annoying the neighbors or making them mad, no one
should, but we have no options
but to live where we can, which
happens to be next to families
and older people. With many of
the housing restrictions, it is hard
to find places where you and a
few roommates can live without
bothering any neighbors.
I feel that many adults see college students a's a problem, and
yes, socially we can be at times,
but we bring change. Whether it
is a good change is hard to say
right now, but this city will never
know unless they give it a Chance.
All I ask is that we are accepted
with open arms and that this city
can find a way to balance both its
old ways and its new.
A T ale Of TWO T ales
want to be charged for a lesser
Crime. But you lied under oath
about taking steroids and you
deserve to be punished for that.
Face the facts, your defense
might of caught a break in arguing for a fair trial, but it's to give
up. You fought the law and the
law is about to win. And stars
and athletes can tell you about
this decade; it is not paying to
break the law.
As for Clemens, give up the
act. At first I didn't want to voice
an opinion against you. But there
is evidence and testimony that
state that you were lying under
oath and you deserve to go under
to be in the same seat as Bonds.
But now there is a photo of
Clemens at the Jose Canseco
party in 1998 that he wasn't at
according to his testimony. Not
just that, there is also testimony
by his former friend and trainer
Brian McNamee that Clemens
approached him shortly afterwards about using steroids.
Just looking at the 2000 season
of Clemens should be evidence
enough that he was using steroids. Early in the season he hit
Mike Piazza in the head with a
fastball. Then he knocked down
Alex Rodriguez and argued about
it afterwards. Then in the World
Series, Piazza breaks his bat
and Clemens throws it in Piazzas general direction clearing the
benches as Piazza and Clemens
exchanged finger pointing and
words.
All I am getting at is a clear
history of a lack of anger management which is one of many
side effects to using the juice.
Clemens used it at some point in
his life, if not for most of his later
career.
Now it is^pnly a matter of time
before we have a new perjury and
obstruction ofjustice case against
Clemens. This makes Bonds and
Clemens on the same boat of
trying to cheat the system, being
caught and more than likely failing to get into Cooperstown.

Old Men' won for Best Screenplay based
on material previously published because
the Coen Brothers took such delicate care
in presenting Cormac McCarthy's story.
In the field of actors, I was only halfright. I did not expect Marion Cotillard
and Tilda Swinton to win Best Actress
for Lead and Supporting Roles, respectively. However, I was right to presume
who would win for the men, though it was
no contest this year. Daniel Day-Lewis is
blistering as a lunatic in 'There Will Be
Blood' and rightly takes his second Best
Lead Actor. In addition, Javier Bardem's
performance in 'No Country' is the best
this year. He became the first Spaniard to
win an Oscar for acting as he earned Best
Supporting Actor.
Though the Academy robbed 'Ratatouille' of a Best Picture nomination, the
Disney/Pixar movie easily won for Best
Animated Film. However, it really did not
matter. 'No Country' was the guaranteed
winner for Best Picture, and did just that.
This, the finest work of Joel and Ethan
Coen, also won them the Oscar for Best
Director. Though there was little surprise
in the ceremony, it was f un to watch. It
was also great reminder of movies I still
need to see. I hope that those who won
or just received nominations continue to
bring quality entertainment.

Levi goes 'Across the Universe1
BY LEVI MARTINEZ
Pride Staff Writer
Do you ever find yourself scanning
the video aisles searching for a movie
to satisfy your needs; well, the wait is
over. In this column you will find my
weekly recommendations on demand,
satisfying your every movie desire and
much more.
"Across the Universe" is a movie
that takes the era-defining music of
The Beatles and portrays a story of
love, passion, and chaos in the form
of a musical. Now rather than describe
the film chapter by chapter, I will go as
far as to say that this film brings classic music to a new age, allowing both
admirers from the past to indulge and
sing-along while captivating new ones
from the present.
The main character, Jude, a young
adult from Liverpool, travels "across
the universe" in search of answers,
running into situations and people
that change him dramatically.
The film utilizes music to define an
era of war and radical change in society,
but most importantly, it helps illustrate
the importance of love and cherishing
those special bonds of friendship. The
film covers the life of a soldier, musician, artist and revolutionary.
The music of The Beatles changed
the face of the earth. By creating such
a drastic change in people and society,
The Beatles did what other bands had
never done before. Hopefully this film
entices you adequately enough to rent
it. It's a must watch and more importantly, you don't want to feel left out at
dinner conversations.

Finally, F think there should be a failsafe

First, separating men and women in most system for the Oscars to give out awards

Walks like a beer, talks like a beer, but
it is actually a hard cider. Green Mountain Cidery brews Woodchuck Draft Cider
Granny Smith in Middlebury, Vermont.
The brewery sits in a valley in the Green
Mountains which have peaks over 4,000
feet. The brewery claims to be the #1 producer of premium alcoholic draft ciders in
the U.S. They introduced the cider in 1997.
The brewery holds multiple awards for
its ciders. In addition, ABC Research Corporation in Gainesville, Florida, certified
the brewery as gluten-free.
The cardboard container holds six lucid
green glass bottles.
Lime green dominates
the majority of the
packaging while a
forest green accents
"edges. A cute little
marmota, similar
to a squirrel, sits on
a rock stuffing his
fuzzy cheeks with a
granny smith apple on
a green plain underneath a
light blue sky. The bottles contain the same
graphics. A shiny green bottle cap seals a
cider with an alcohol by volume of 5%. The
six pack retails for $8.99 at BevMo.
The cider pours smooth with no head. A
thin lace resides as carbonated bubbles rise
to the top but are trapped. The cider radiates a golden texture similar to ginger ale.
It enters smooth and finishes powerfully,
like Brut champagne. The Granny Smith
apple infused cider really bites in the end,
similarly to eating an actual Granny Smith
apple. The cider leaves a little apple flavor
on the tongue after passing through
to the abyss and
beyond.
The light
and unique
flavoring
of the cider
should pair well
with a light lunch
e.g. club sandwich
and chips, or possibly a dessert e.g.
vanilla ice cream.

CSUSM Professor Mikiko
Imamura-Seyller, head of the
Japanese Program department,
passed away in her home Sept. 27
a fter a 7-year battle with Cancer.
She was 59.
Imamura-Seyller was a cherished member of the CSUSM
f aculty and a key component of
the Foreign Languages program.
She is survived by her husband,
and t wo children. Her son is a
University student i n the U nited
States and her daughter lives in
Japan. Imamura-Seyller taught
Japanese at CSUSM f rom the
inception of the program and
helped to develop consistently
the s uccessful program it is
today.
Loved by her students as well
as other faculty members she
always had a warm smile for
everyone. Dr. Anover, department chair of World Languages
said that, "Professor Imamura-
Seyller's passing is a great loss to
CSUSM."
As an adjunct professor, she
showed her dedication to the students and the language program
by exceeding the traditional
involvement of part time professors. Her accomplishments and
involvement in the program show
her dedication t o her students and
CSUSM.
Although Imamura-Seyller had
been ill for some time, she never

Discussions between staff and President Haynes
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
Closing a week of discussions
with the three major bodies on
campus, President Haynes met
with the Cal State San Marcos
s taff on Friday, Oct. 5, as part
of a series of open f orums to
address concerns on campus.
Having met with students
and faculty earlier in the week,

t he discussion
On Oct. 2, Cal State University
San Marcos President Haynes
held an open forum for students
during University Hour in the
President's Boardroom.
ASI President, Caitlin Gelrud,
opened the forum, introducing
President Haynes t o the seven
students in attendance. Haynes
then welcomed everyone and
opened the floor for discussion.
From skateboarding fines to
new majors, students presented
Haynes with a wide variety of
questions during the hour-long
forum.
Sophomore, Sara Planchon,
questioned President Haynes
missed a class or an event and
always made herself available
for her students. She promoted
Japanese language and culture at
every opportunity she had.
Imamura-Seyller created and
hosted the Japanese culture
week at CSUSM, a weeklong
event with several opportunities to attend talks, art displays,
and movies about Japanese cul-
President Haynes sat down with
a room f ull of CSUSM staff to
hear their concerns about salaries, personnel shortages, and
distribution of labor.
While student and faculty
a ffairs command attention with
relative ease, the staff (the smallest body on campus) does not
always receive t he same degree
of consideration.
One of the primary concerns
brought up to President Haynes
centered on an overall budget
shortage across the various
s taff departments. As a result
o f• these shortages, staff personnel are now experiencing
an inability for salary growth
(in-range progression), even as
they face increasing responsibilities. To f urther compound
the issue, departments cannot
open up new positions to help
delegate responsibilities to meet
the demands of a rapidly growing campus.
In response t o salary concerns, President Haynes concurred with the s taff's concern
and explained that t he Budget
Committee is " being charged
t o look at and discuss the pros
and cons of a centralized pool

said does exist at other campuses, she quickly denied
the rumor's credibility for
CSUSM. "It's really interesting where rumors start," said
President Haynes.
University hour also became
a topic of interest at the forum.
"I'm personally frustrated with
how University Hour is turning out," said Senior Felipe
Zanartu. He believes the limited time makes it difficult to
plan anything. He also notices
various campus organizations
scheduling events at the same
time.
President
Haynes
defended the s hift from the
five-day a week University
Hour to the now bi-weekly
setup as a compromise for
each side.
"Last fall when we started
five days a week, there were
a fair amount of students
who were really unhappy
with the classes that couldn't
be scheduled. So I administratively made an executive
decision to t ry to protect
University Hour [by having
it] two days a week and also
provide student the access to
classes they needed."
During the forum, Haynes
even received a question
through student text messaging. The student expressed a
desire for a student union on
campus. A student union is
currently in preliminary planning and on a fundraising priority list. As a stretch goal,
Haynes would like to break
ground for a student union
for CSUSM's twentieth anniversary in 2010 but as of now,
nothing is official.
Student
Christina
Ahmadpour asked President
Haynes what reputation she
would like CSUSM to have
that could distinguish this
campus f rom others. President Haynes explained,
"we already hear students
talking about how this is a
smaller campus, a friendlier
campus, our faculty know
students and care about
them."
Because the campus is
only seventeen years old,
President Haynes added that
many of the academic programs need time to grow
before they can receive more
recognition.
The administration hopes to
continue forums at least once a
semester with the potential of
more depending on President
Haynes' availability. Any students eager to participate in the
next forum should keep an eye
out for future forums coming
soon.

Series Presents:
Still deciding which gadget
William Luvaas
Students and faculty enjoy a reading from to buy? This may help.
award winning contemporary author
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, Oct. 4, CSUSM's
Community and World Literary
Series hosted a literature reading
by author William Luvaas.
Luvaas read some of his Ht-J
erary work to a attentive audience of both students and faculty
members. Words like "contemporary," "in your face," and "cutting
edge" can describe Luvaas' style
and still, there is so much more to
the stories he creates.
For the event, Luvaas read a short
story from his book, "A Working
Man's Apocrypha". The story, "A
Season of Limb Fall", chronicles
the eccentric events in a different
Southern California than the one
with which we familiarize.
One such event involves a
senile elderly woman arid her
yippy dog being ripped into the
air by a twister. The dog later
turns up alive in a tree.
Where else other than a literary reading could anyone really
appreciate words like "alivening" and "kapockety"? How else
would a "Be Sure Doggie Composter" make sense? Clearly the
work of William Luvaas needs
more than admiration, it makes
you do a double take.
Tornadoes, life threatening
floods, and self-generating computers all exist in the fictitious
world of Luvaas, Not only does
this alternate reality intrigue
any reader willing to give it a
chance, it also has heart.
The chkractei-is of "A Working
Man's Apocrypha" are as loveable as they are eccentric and
as flawed as they are remarkably genuine. Something about
a literary reading brought out
these elements in a way walking through a bookstore could
never accomplish.
Literary readings may not
seem like the ideal social event
on a Thursday night for college
students. However, as someone
who shared that same opinion
in the past, I strongly recommend it.
Hearing an author read their
own writing aloud gives the
audience much more than words
on paper. The art of storytelling
is an element that readers can't
replicate.
The next Community and
World Literary Series event
will showcase readings from

CSUSM's LGBT community hosts an
event of tolerance and understanding
BY SHIRLEY BARAJAS
Pride Staff Writer
"Getting Out" that is what
the "Coming Out Monologues"
is about. Sponsored by the
LGBTA, LGBTQ and the ASI
Women's Center the "Coming
Out Monologues" will be held
October 11th at 7p.m. in the
Clarke Field House.
According to Bryce Manning, one of the directors
of the event, the title was
inspired from the famous play
"The Vagina Monologues".
Manning said the difference
between "The Vagina Monologues" and "The Coming Out
Monologues" is that this is not
a play, instead it is a collection
of speakers talking about their
experiences with "coming
out".
Another inspiration toward
organizing this event is the date
it will be held. October is known
as the LGBT history month and
October 11th is National Coming
Out Day. Not only will this be
an opportunity for the audience
to learn about the LGBT community but also to understand
how the community handles
talking about the subject for the
first time.
There will be several speakers at the event including Manning. Two other speakers will
be coming from Massachusetts
one of them will speak from a
transgender perspective and the
other from a straight ally perspective. Among other speakers there are some from the
CSUSM community.
Living in a heterosexual world
is not easy for non-heterosexual
individuals to talk about the
topic freely. Most speakers tell
their stories about acceptance
in a heterosexual society.
Although the performance
is about the LGBT community
everyone is welcome.
"I expect the audience to
walk away with a sense of
understanding and learn new
ideas about the subject" said
Manning.

Cleaning up
Organize your household chores •forFree!
Are you sick and tired of cleaning up after your roommates? Is
your place a mess because you
can't compile an efficient chore
list?
The people at ChoreBuster.net.
have devised an innovative web
solution that streamlines the process of making a chore list that,
in effect, makes everyone happy.
Chore Buster describes its services as a simple four-step process on the front page of the website.
Step One: "Enter in people
and chores." A fter registering,
the main user inputs the names
and e-mails of everyone partaking in the chores. Options
include the percentage of chores
that the given person is capable
of doing. The advanced options
include the capability to limit
chores on certain days based on
work schedules and other obligations. ChoreBuster also provides
the option for users to input
vacation dates, which excludes
the given user from the schedule
for the time in which he or she
is away.
Step Two: "Specify how hard/
undesirable each chore is, and
how often it should be done."
A fter inputting all personal
0 Enter In people and chores
Q Specify how hard / undesirable each chore is, and how often it should be done
0 ChoreBuster automatically generates a fair schedule of chores
QScheduleemailed to you daily or weekly-no need totogin
information, users next create a
list of all the chores necessary.
Users input the chore's name,
how often the chore should be
done, and the chore's rating.
ChoreBuster's rating system
allows users to rate the difficulty
and undesirability of a given
chore based on a point system
that includes "Nothing (0), Easy
(1), Fairly Easy (2), Normal (3),
Above Normal (4), Hard (5),
Extreme (7), and Insane(14)."
Step Three: "ChoreBuster
Automatically Generates a fair
schedule of chores." ChoreBuster
makes sense of this feature on
their website, "when you assign
a rating to a chore, it means that
chore is worth a certain number
of points. Whenever someone
is assigned a chore, they are
given the amount of points that
the chore is worth. ChoreBuster
ensures fairness by always giving
the 'next' chore to the person
with the lowest score."
Step Four: "Schedule is
emailed to you daily of weekly
- no need to log in." The schedule delivery really gives ChoreBuster its "wow" factor. Users
select whether they would like to
receive an e-mail with their generated chores weekly or daily,
and from there an e-mail is conveniently sent out to all of the
users on the account.
ChoreBuster.net is redefining
the art of scheduling, and making
life easier for college students
everywhere.

Saturday, Oct. 13
By Toria Savey /Pride Staff Writer
OKTOBERFEST
Cost: $3 or 2 for $5
Place: San Diego, specifically the
neighborhood of Ocean Beach
What: Yes, many radio stations have been
broadcasting live from Oktoberfests all over
the county for the past few weeks. What
is unclear is why they even bothered. The
official October beer capital of San Diego
is the neighborhood of Ocean Beach. It's cheap. There's music on
two stages. Sausages. Beer. Stereotypical bar maids and a whole lotta
lederhosen. It's as close to Munich as you're going to get in one day.
SAN DIEGO ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL
Cost: $7 and up
Place: Ultrastar Mission Valley (Hazard Center)
What: With anywhere from six to sixteen films showing per night,
the festival lasts from October 11th- 18th and can still barely cram
in all the movies, panels and discussions. With films ranging into
every subject matter, you should be able to get even your most closeminded friends to put aside their inhibitions about the indie nature
of 'film festivals'. If you don't
find something that appeals to
you, I'll eat my hat. Actually, eat
your own hat, because obviously
there's something wrong with
you already.
LITTLE ITALY PRECIOUS FESTA
Cost: Nothing!
Place: San Diego again, this time in Little Italy
What: While the cost is technically nothing, parking could set you
back $7. Or there's always the trolley which will take you almost to the
heart of the festa, Italian for 'festival'. With over 100,000 attendees,
the festival starts on October 13th with a chalk drawing exhibition, and
continues with the bulk of food, entertainment and vendors on October
14th. Oddly enough, their
website also mentions sausages
as being integral, though this
time of the Italian variety. Little
Italy is also known for its art
community which is celebrated
during several different annual
events, and will no doubt be on
display at the festa.
MCAS MIRAMAR AIR SHOW
Cost: Nothing! Again!
Place: Marine Corps Air Station Miramar
What: Quite simply, lots of planes. Maybe
you have a child who would be amused.
Maybe you're trying to go deaf by the age
of thirty. Maybe you never got over those childhood dreams of being
afighterpilot. Featuring everything from military demonstrations to
wingwalkers (yes, that's just what it sounds like), there's enough to
> keep the young, old, and even attention deficit entertained.
ANNUAL TIJUANA
TEQUILA TOUR
Cost: OkrPricey. $39.
Place: leaves from Old Town
Transit Center, San Diego
What: Perhaps you don't
drink tequila. That's a shame.
But it leaves plenty more for
the rest of us. While this tour
is definitely a little expensive,
you travel to Mexico by bus
and arrive as the Tequila Expo,
a holy land for aficionados,
where you can taste over 100
different tequilas. Actually,
it's unlimited tasting of 100
different tequilas. Did you

Happy Hour at the
Belly Up Tavern:
For you AND your grandma
BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER
Pride Staff Writer
This week my assignment was
to check out the Belly Up Tavern's
happy hour. Every Friday the
Belly Up has a happy hour with
a live band, dancing and a cheap
five-dollar cover charge.
The Belly Up Tavern is a North
County treasure, located in the
heart of beautiful Solana Beach.
The happy hour session is from
5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Fridays.
There's a different band scheduled
for each session. A 21-year-old age
limit is enforced in the tavern.
I had been to the Belly Up before
and found the intimate venue to be
an entertaining local spot to see a
show in North County. However,
to my surprise, the Belly Up hapgy
hour caters to a more mature
crowd.
There weren't any drink specials
or food specials for the happy hour.
The only budget advantage was
the five dollar cover charge. Fortunately, the band was extremely
entertaining. As a "nostalgia"
band, they were experts in all
kinds of party dance classics from
the 40's to the 90's.
Five men and two women were
all wearing costumes and energizing the crowd. One of the women
was playing the sax while the other
did vocals. The men played keyboard, vocals, upright base, guitar
and drums. Everyone able to
dance was dancing. It was enjoyable to see people take pleasure
in themselves, even though I felt
like a junior high kid at the senior
prom.
Next week on Oct. 12, there will
be a band called The Fabulous Pelicans who are also a party dance
music band. The following week,
Oct. 19, the Bayou Brothers will be
playing. The Bayou Brothers are
a Louisiana dance band that will
leave you craving gumbo shrimp
and dirty rice.
For those of you who enjoy
people watching, I encourage you
to head down to happy hour at the
Belly Up as a pre-party to your
Friday night.

�"The Heartbreak Kid"
A little recycled, but a lot of laugher
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
Scorsese has Leonardo, Tim
Burton has DeppT Peter' and
Bobby Farrelly have Ben Stiller.
All is right in the universe.
The latest offering by the Farrelly
brothers is "The Heartbreak Kid",
where farts, crazy sex, and inappropriate language by old men are
what keep audiences in their seats.
Stiller is Eddie Cantrow, a 40year old sport shop owner looking for love. It doesn't help that
his father, played by real life
dad Jerry, is encouraging him
to "live life" - which in his definition means sleeping with
as many women as possible.
Love in this case comes in the
form of a bombshell named
Lila (Malin Ackerman) who at
first glance, looks like a sweet-
heart until the jaws of marriage
brings out the ultra-neurotic
nature in her, as well as Eddie.
Eddie immediately regrets his
life altering decision in marrying Mrs. Wrong after a Mini
Cooper road trip to Cabo San
Lucas where Lila sings the lyrics
to all songs on the radio. Not just
popular songs, but every song.
It's after a serious (and I mean
serious) sunburn mishap that Lila
is locked up in the room for most
of the honeymoon, Eddie meets
another sweetheart in Miranda
(Michelle Monaghan). They find
solace in each other and by this
point, the movie begins to feel
almost recycled with love triangles and coincidental disasters.
Carlos Mencia also stars in
the movie as a stereotypical,
sleazy hotel worker. He does
more to hinder the film oppo-
site the bouncing dialogue
between Stiller and elder-Stiller.
Stiller still plays the role of the
hopeless good guy we want to
root for and it's something that
doesn't seem to get old. He brings
a great exuberance to the loser
role that suits his acting well.
The film is a remake from 1972
film by Neil Simon. Rest assured
that the Farrelly brothers have
not lost a step in purveying their
sense of humor to moviegoers,
but it feels more like the kind
of humor we got from "There's
Something About Mary". I t's
cool, but it isn't groundbreaking
humor like what we see these
days like in "Borat", "The 40Year Old Virgin" and "Superbad".
The directing duo does a great j ob
i n casting every role just right in
the film. People shouldn't have
to worry that all the good comedic moments are spoiled by trailers and commercials. There's
enough substance that satisfies,
such as a certain donkey scene.
Comedy is the Farrelly's muse,
and comedy is where their success will always be seen. Let's
hope that Peter and Bobby never
decide to commit career suicide
by directing a drama or action
movie.

George's Burger?
cy
c^
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
By George, I think they've got it!
Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the
name. George's Burgers is one of those
few places that has escaped the infinite pit of generic burger joints whose
food is as bland as the Joes, Bobs, and
Chucks, they're named after.
George's Burgers is a modest place
located on N. Las Posas Road, j ust o ff
the 78. While it may not be the most
epic burger in San Marcos, George's
Burgers will stand toe to toe with the
veterans if called upon. This place
couldn't be any more perfect for the
wayward CSUSM student, catering
to even the most discerning palette
with a frighteningly diverse menu. At
George's Burgers, you will undoubtedly
discover the most unholy of the fast food
trinities: burgers, Mexican, and Greek
Food. George's Burgers also boasts a
fairly thorough breakfast menu. When
Samuel Morse dispatched that immortal
utterance-"What hath god wrought?"in his first telegraph transmis
sion, it was because he had
just read the menu at
George's
Burgers.
While George's Burgers' methods are daring
and perhaps blasphemous, it is improbable
if not impossible for you
to not enjoy something
there.
Since it is a burger
place first and foremost,
I decided to try the
quarter pound special
burger. Expecting a humble quarterpounder, you can imagine my surprise
when this colossal behemoth invaded
my face. A fter the initial shock, I soon
discovered this burger to be a gentle
giant, a stable and calm blend of ingredients. It is a harmonious celebration
of unrivaled equality where no element
of the burger overwhelms another or the
rest. The hamburger meat has a faint
spice that contributes to the innovative
dynamic of the burger. In similar fashion to the burger, the f ries are beastly
slabs of potato. While they are fairly
generous in flavor, they don't harbor
excess grease that can often times overwhelm a French fry.
I definitely recommend you pencil
George's Burgers somewhere into your
list of places to go before you die, preferably somewhere between your 10:15
a.m. History class and your trip to The
Great Wall of China.

Artist Erick Otto visits CSUSM
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
On Friday, Feb. 9 the unveiling of Erik Otto's paintings and
installation, "Rooted Dreams,"
took place inside of Kellogg
Library.
Members of the community,
- Library staff and students joined
Otto as he walked through his
installation, describing his art
work and his motivation.
In Otto's installation, bird
houses painted red and blue
hang from branches above leaves
strewn on the library floor. A
colorful banner of cloth extends
from the installation on the third
floor to reach the fourth floor of
the library.
According to Otto, the bird
houses in his art work symbolize
the human form of a home. "A
place you go where you feel safe- to escape the busyness of the
world and to cultivate dreams,"
Otto said.
With many recurring images
in his work, one piece that stands
out from the rest is a character
Otto calls, "Rock guy." The rock
character reappears in Otto's
paintings along with the bird

Plan B. or the Morning
After Pill, is now available to
students over the counter at
the Student Health and Counseling Services, amongst various other services. In nine
states, including California,
the FDA has changed restrictions to allow individuals that
are 18 and older to obtain
the product over the counter,
while individuals under 17
can obtain the product with a
prescription.
CSUSM student, Laura
Contreras shares her perspective. "I think the right to
choose is a good idea, but it
should not be available over
the counter. I'm worried that
younger women, who might
not be informed, may use the
morning after pill as a form of
contraception without understanding their other options."
At the CSUSM Health
Center, the cost for the pill is
$25.00. Male or female students can purchase the product, with or without counseling, up to two times per
month. After the second time
in a month, an appointment
is required. The main reason
for requiring an appointment
is because the product is not
intended for frequent use, nor
does it substitute birth control. Users should know that
the product is advertised as
up to 89% effective for reducing pregnancy risk, and does
not protect from STD's. Nursing Major Naomi Strong said,
"I personally believe that the
plan B pill is a good backup
method to birth control. However, I don't think that the
pill should be used as a routine. Women should take the
necessary precautions and
be responsible when having
intercourse but people do
make mistakes which also

chance to apply and study for an
academic year in Australia, New
Zealand and South Africa.
The application date for Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa is May 1. A decision on
whether the student is qualified to go will be made in late
August. A complete application
must contain an IP Application,
two faculty recommendations
and official university transcripts
from all colleges and universities
attended. According to the CSU
International Programs website,
"Admission of a student is based
on academic, linguistic, and personal qualifications, and on the
appropriateness of the students'
proposed plan of study to their
degree objective." There is no
application fee, and those looking
to apply are best advised to meet
with an IP Campus Coordinator.
An academic year of studying
abroad is beneficial to students
because not only does it take
time to culturally assimilate to
your new surroundings, but the
extensive amount of time also
crosses the line of being a visitor
into becoming a true resident in
the community in which you are
studying. Stockey understands
the importance of spending an
academic year abroad and said,
"Year long programs provide an
even greater opportunity for a
richer cultural experience."
IP enrollment fees are kept at
an affordable rate because student costs are partially supported
by the State of California. The
cost of studying abroad is dependent on what country you wish to
study and their economic situation. Students pay for their own
housing, transportation, meals
and any extra costs. Scholarships
and financial aid are available.
However, what the CSU International Programs website considers to be most important is the
expérience you attain by studying
abroad and considers studying
abroad "A long-term investment
in yourself and in your future."
Students do receive credit
for all coursework that is completed while abroad. All completed coursework is considered
CSU resident credit. Academic
Reports are prepared by the
Office of International Programs,
who converts host university
information into CSU campus
terms. Students must meet with
a counselor prior to their departure in order to understand how
the work the student completed
abroad applies within their scope
of requirements.
Should students have any further inquiries on studying abroad
they can visit the CSUSM website of global affairs at http://

One of the many benefits of
being a member of the CSU
system is that it provides students
with the opportunity to study in
19 different countries. Studying
abroad allows students to engross
themselves in an atmosphere
that is not only academically
stimulating, but also makes for
a life-long experience. CSUSM
International Programs advisor,
Jan Stockey said, "Studying in
another country brings a dimension to your education that you
cannot imagine." As students
separate themselves from what
is familiar, students challenge
themselves to exist in a foreign
place. In meeting new people and
encountering new experiences,
students acquire a new understanding of not only themselves,
but the world around them. As of

With these things in mind, our status
and the remaining steps toward completion of the signalization of the intersection at Palm Canyon and Craven, as well
as traffic control at the crosswalk from Lot
C to the Dome, are as follows:
• The engineer has completed the
design of the intersection of Palm
Canyon and Craven. The University
requested this design shortly after fall
semester's accident.
• The President's Executive Council
allocated an initial $75,000 to
Facilities Development and
Management to begin work on this
projeqt.
• The cost estimates for the project,
which includes design, installation,
inspection, and
• contingency, is $300,000. The
University will need to fund the
additional $225,000.
• The University is required to follow
a bidding process which takes
approximately two
• months. The University can now
begin advertising for bidders and
anticipates that it will
• take at least 10 weeks to procure the
equipment.
• Last fall, I indicated that we anticipated
completion in spring 2007. The process
took a little longer than projected and
we now expect to complete the project
during summer 2007.
Other plans that we are developing or
considering: • Sponsor an education campaign

stating, "I had lots of movement." The game was a real
pitcher's dual as the Cougars
had trouble with the high
heat of Vanguard pitcher
Jennifer Olvera, who struck
out 14 on the day. It wasn't
until the fifth inning that the
Cougars put together a rally
for the home fans. Erica
Coelho walked with one out.
After she hustled to beat the
throw to second on a bunt by
Lindsey Preovolos, Madigal came up with two outs
and two on. She hit a looper
towards the Bermuda Tri-
angle, the area behind shortstop and between the center
and left fielders. Vanguard's
shortstop had to have heard
the roar of the crowd as the
ball tipped just off the edge
of her glove. When the dust
settled, Coelho scored the
tying run and Madigal stood
on second with a game tying
RBI double.
The game remained tied
1-1 as both teams missed
opportunities with runners
on base. After Lerno got a
clutch two out strikeout on a
close pitch with runners on
first and second, Vanguard
Coach Beth Renkoski was
kicking up dirt near the visiting dugout. The umpire was
inconsistent but Lento said,
"He got better as the game
went on." The teams played
into extra innings where
each side gets to start their
half inning with a runner on
second base. Vanguard was
able to get a run in the eighth
despite the brilliant play by
Lerno and her catcher Preovolos on a squeeze attempt.
The Cougars failed to get
a run in the bottom of the
eighth and lost the game 21.
It was a hard fought game
and led Coach Milo to say
the team is "getting used to
each other." She was also
happy with the performance
of Lerno in the loss saying,
"she just got stronger and
stronger out there."
As for the extra inning
"International Rule" where
the inning starts with a
runner on second base,
Coach Milo said, "to me it
doesn't show the better team,
but we both do get it. Sometimes it falls your way and
sometimes it doesn't." Freshman Erica Coelho seemed to
like it saying you're guaranteed "no ties." It is reminiscent of college football when
each team gets the ball at the
25 yard line in overtime.
The Cougar softball program has already beaten then

Making the grade: No grade inflation at CSUSM
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
Paula Montagna, a graduate
student here at Cal State University San Marcos in Literature and
Writing, transferred here with a
4.0 GPA. During her undergraduate studies, she received one A-.
Her GPA is now a 3.9 without any
method of making it higher. "By
using a grading criteria in which
students may earn an A-, but
offering no option to earn an A+,"
said Montagna, "CSUSM uses a
grading system which punishes
students for their imperfections,
rather than reward students for
their achievements."
Is an "A+" an ever-elusive
grade at this school? How did
our current grading system get
implemented? What is the philosophy behind it? Founding faculty
member Larry W. Cohen, professor emeritus of biology, has some
of the answers.
About why grades top out at A,
he said, "We (the Founding Faculty) wrestled with the question
ourselves at the time but decided
to stay with the long-established
standard of 'A' as the top possible grade rather than opening
the possibility of escalating to
A+, A++, etc. and undermining
the integrity of the A." The plus/
minus system of grading is meant
to indicate the subtleties of students' performance.
Cohen also sheds light on the
possibility of attaining an A+.
"Over the years at CSUSM, I did
issue A+ grades on occasion. The
grade went to one or two people
whose performance was way out
ahead of even the other 'A' students. I would estimate, after
looking over my grade books,
that it was with a frequency of
about 1-2 per hundred." The
grade of A+ shows up on the transcript, but is not calculated into
the grade point average as more
than just a regular A.
Grade inflation was one of the
concerns of the Founding Faculty when instituting the grading
policy. Cohen said, "Too many
faculty are concerned with being
popular and for them A+ may
become the typical A grade, fulfilling the fears of the Founding
Faculty when they considered the
question."
Grade inflation, according to
national statistics, has been a problem among postsecondary institutions since at least the 1980s. It
is defined as the increase of the
number of high grades over time,
and is often associated with lax academic standards. With more and
more students achieving higher
grades, it is easy to conclude that
standards have been slipping; with
students reporting that they contribute less effort than those who had
preceded them, it is conclusive to
attribute the higher grades phenom-
enon on the institution and not on
students simply becoming smarter.
Many measures have been taken
by other universities to combat
grade inflation. Some universities
limit the number of A' grades a
professor may give. Jennifer Diffley, an alumnus of Brigham Young
University reported, "It was impossible to get anything higher than a
D at BYU. The professors made
it their personal mission to ensure
that no one ever received A's on
assignments. It was to avoid a little
thing called 'grade inflation.'"
While CSUSM does not employ
such harsh tactics, grade inflation is still a concern according to
Cohen who helped to implement
our current grading systeip.
CSUSM celebrates Black History Month

"I still have a dream. It is
a dream deeply rooted in the
American dream. I have a dream
that one day this nation will rise
up and live out the true meaning of its creed: - 'We hold these
truths to be self-evident, that all
men are created equal.'" - Martin
Luther King Jr.
February marks the annual
celebration of "Black History
Month," for Americans nationwide. What began on February
12, 1926 as the first celebration
created by Dr. Carter Godwin
Woodson, a Harvard Scholar,
has now become the nationally observed "Black History
Month." Traditionally celebrated
in the second week of February,
Dr. Woodson chose to celebrate
African American history in
February as a tribute to Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, both of whom Woodson felt
had a significant impact on African American history, and both
of whom celebrated birthdays in
the month of February. Honoring

�The history of University 'Voice
Voleotioes Day
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Ah, Valentine's Day. The day set aside
for lovers to share their feelings for one
another. The day dreaded by single people
around the world. The day chocolate and
flower vendors make a fortune, and the
day that cupid makes his presence known,
shooting heart-tipped arrows off into
oblivion hoping to inflict hopeless romantics and lovebirds with la amour.
Many might be wondering how the
uber-commercialized holiday came about,
while others could care less as long as the
chocolates and candy-studded greetings
continue to abound. For those, however,
who are curious, Valentine's Day as we
know it is said to be a combination of an
event and a historical person. The event is
said to have begun in the pagan times of
ancient Rome, with the annual celebration
of a fertility festival called the "Feast of
Lupercalia," which traditionally occurred
in mid-February. The festival was known
for pairing the mating of young men and
women each year through a sweepstake
arrangement. More often than not, it is
said that the arranged couple would fall in
love and eventually marry.
Also linked to the Valentine's Day festival, are the infamous legends of Saint Valentine of Rome. Saint Valentine lived in
Rome under the sovereignty of Emperor
Claudius II. To retain a valiant army,
Emperor Claudius incessantly enlisted
soldiers, but to his misfortune was able
keep soldiers, because the majority of
men did not want to join his army because
of their commitment to their wives and
families. Upon realizing this, Claudius
forbade all engagements and marriages in
Rome. Thus, Valentine, an idealistic and
romantic priest began to organize secret
marriages for young couples. As soon as
Claudius unveiled Valentine's treachery,
he imprisoned Valentine, and later executed him on Feb. 14, circa 270 A.D. Subsequently, Valentine became the patron
saint for lovers during the Middle Ages
in France and England. Then in 498 A.D.,
Pope Gelasius chose to end the celebration of the pagan festival, "Feast of Lercalia," and thus declared February 14 St.
Valentine's Day.
Exchanging "valentines" and love notes
is one of the central elements of Valentine's Day. It is rumored that this practice
began with Saint Valentine himself, who
while in prison fell in love with a young
girl, thought to have been the jailor's
daughter. Prior to his execution, it is supposed that he wrote her a love letter, which
he signed: "From your Valentine."
It is also said that Valentine's Day falls
on Febr 14 each year because during the
Middle Ages in England and France that
date marked the commencement of bird
mating season.
Furthermore, the oldest accounted
for Valentine is said to have been written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans,
while he was imprisoned in the Tower of
London.
Nonetheless, though the rumors and
allegation surrounding Saint Valentine
seem to flow in abundance, they all have
one thing in common; they portray Saint
Valentine as a heroic and romantic man,
suggesting that Valentine's Day should be
a day for love and romance.

As a child, Pennypacker's
favorite books were "Treasure
Island," "Black Beauty," and "The
Yearling." Her decision to write a
children's book, however, didn't
come until sjie was raising her
own children. "I started hanging
out in libraries; that's what you
do when you have kids." She read

for the character of Clementine
was her two children. It is understandable, then, how attached
she becomes to her characters: "I
carry my characters around." Her
son especially lent specific character traits to Clementine - his
impulsive, distracted temperament, characteristic of Attention
Deficit Disorder,-combined with
his artistic, empathetic nature,
also characteristic of ADD.
Pennypacker said that she wanted
to show the positive aspects of
ADD without belittling the difficulties. As a result, all of the
adults in "Clementine" are very
supportive of the third-grader. "I
wish the world had [told my son],
'What a wonderful artist you

Theater Review
*®The Four cf Us"
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
Itamar Moses had the audience
laughing out loud at his latest
play "The Four of Us," currently
running at the Old Globe Theater. Located in Balboa Park near
downtown San Diego, the Old
Globe is one of the town's first
professional theaters, hosting 50
minute versions of Shakespeare
back in 1935. The Cassius Carter
Centre Stage was renovated out
of the original restaurant, the Falstaff Tavern in 1965. This 225
seat arena is incredibly intimate.
The stage is in the center, and the
actors perform to every angle,
giving everyone the feeling of
nearness to the action. With the
360 degree seating, only four
rows occupy each side, so every
seat is a good one.
In "The Four of Us," actors
Gideon Banner (Benjamin) and
Sean Dugan (David) experience
friendship while entering the life
o £a writer. The play opens by
dropping the audience into the
middle of a conversation at lunch
regarding Benjamin signing his
first book deal. David, who has
chosen to go into playwriting,
has yet to have any recognition
of his talent. The sarcastic wit of
actoiiSean Dugan and tfte clever
dialogue written by Itamar Moses
reveal the envy and resentment
going on in the mind of David.
The play goes through confusing shifts in time, clueing the
audience in with the clothing of
the cast and their conversation.
However, the relationship of the
rieedy David and the affable Benjamin is hilarious. They've been
friends since a summer camp
after high school and have seen
each other grow into separate
careers in writing. Along the way
they share the awkwardness of
dating and money-making.
The acting in this play was
very well done. Sean Dugan, who
has appeared in HBO's dynamic
cellblock series OZ and episodes
of the Law & Order series, did a
brilliant job as David. His sniveling jealousy is believable, while
Gideon Banner, with strictly theatre experience, plays the success-won't-change-me role with
a real air of pride. Yet, with only
two actors, the back and forth
gets a bit tiresome at spots.
There seems to be an inward
reflection by playwright Itamar
Moses. He pokes fun at the literary field and its ability to create
celebrities andpoison friendships.
Moses is considered the next big
thing in the theater crowd, having
much critical acclaim in New
York City and nationally. At 29
years old, Moses' future seems
very bright. : K ^HJ , :
Bring your thinking cap to this
very clever comedy surrounded
by some cheap laughs at an abundant use of the "F" word. With
cigarette-smoking on stage and a
male bonding marijuana puffing
session, "The Four of Us" is most
definitely intended for a mature
audience.

�Movie Review
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
"The Messengers" is the stateside directing debut of Danny
and Oxide Pang. Isn't "Oxide" an
original name? It is pretty much
the most original thing about this
film, as the Pang brothers borrow
elements of three or four other
horror movies and mix it up into
90 minutes of tired horror cliché.
Instead of exploring the possibility that children can see things
that grownups cannot (as the
trailers for this movie implied),
the film goes off into a very different direction that fails to make
any sense.
What kills me the most is how
much potential this movie had
and how much was wasted in
falling back on the already-doneto-death horror tricks. You'll see
psychotic crows reminiscent of
Hitchcock's "The Birds," contorted
crawling-on-the-walls
ghosts which gives you "The
Grudge" deja vu, and a giant
haunted house similar to — I
don't know — every horror movie
«
T V Messengers fails to deliver
ever made.
The ' story follows the Solomon family who move to North
Dakota from Chicago in hopes of
making a fortune on cultivating
sunflower seeds. The dad, Roy
(Dylan McDermott), and mom,
Denise (Penelope Ann Miller),
are the oblivious parental duo.
Roy is a hard-working farmer
with an undeniable determination and a body way too hot for
a dad. Denise is a typical 1950sstyle housewife whose fortes
include bed making and making
a killer glass of lemonade. Jess
(Kristen Stewart) is their teenage
daughter who is deeply affected
by something horrible that happened in Chicago. Ben (played by
twins Evan and Theodore Turner)
is the toddler who, conveniently,
cannot talk but sees much.
Right before planting time,
Roy meets up with a mysterious
drifter (John Corbett) whom he
hires on the spot after learning
his first name. Meanwhile, the
house is playing tricks on Jess
and Ben who are the only ones
harassed by ghosts.
The actors, most notably Stewart, whose past credits include
"The Panic Room" and "Cold
Creek Manor," do an amazing job
with what they are given. Stewart
is wonderful in this role, giving
her character the balance of
maturity and innocence. McDermott, of "The Practice," gives a
sincere and believable performance as a dad who is trying to
hold his family together. Miller
never misses a beat as a protective and over concerned mother.
The Turner brothers play a wonderfully creepy part, which is a
credit to them and the directors.
Corbett plays his role so suavely
that you almost doubt he is a
threat to the Solomon family.
The music and sound design
were both done nicely. Though
the music was a very obvious cue
to what is going to happen next,
the score was well-written and
well utilized. The sound design,
in particular, was eerie and scary
without going overboard into
cliché-land. Possibly the only
time I was even a little frightened
during this film was due to the
excellently crafted sound.
The direction and cinematography both were not too unoriginal
but seemed to take you too much
out of the experience instead of
bringing you in.
Overall, the plot is the thing
that gets in the way of this movie
the most. Apart from the fact that
moviegoers had to suffer through
tired, recycled horror tactics, the
movie simply did not make any
sense at the end. Small plot holes
are easy to ignore, but when they
are as big as the sunflower field
on screen, they go from ignorable to extremely annoying in
less time than it says to say "The
Messengers." And, after seeing
this entire movie and taking
pretty good notes, I still have no
idea why it is even called that. If
you enjoy pointing out plot holes
and mocking movie discrepancies, this film was made for you.
Otherwise, "The Messengers" is
completely skippable.

Icy and drizzling weeks in
the near future demand a winter

six 12 ounce bottles, sold the

snowmen are the coolest of all
men, the snowman smugly holds
a frosty mug of frothy beer as
snowflakes descend from the

Strong aromas emerged from

hops and the smooth, retreating

and soft sweetness parallels the
experience of Diet Coke. Diet

the aspartame leaves a semisweet flavor.
The ale has many ingredients.

Pride Staff Writer
The scrumptious secret of the
bean of the cacao tree is arguably the greatest discovery in
world history. Those who may
scoff at this assertion will,
wild-eyed, change their opinion
when their mouths are stuffed
with the ambrosial marvel that
is chocolate.
As the story goes, the Aztecs
discovered the aphrodisiac
potential of chocolate. Hundreds of years later, the association between chocolate and love
lives on. The link is not only
found in history and lore but
in the chemistry of the human
brain. The high we experience
when happy or in love involves
the discharge of chemicals
phenylethylamine and serotonin by the brain into the nervous system. Chocolate contains these same mood enhancing agents.
It is, then, no surprise why
ardent suitors and the happily
married alike buy up armfuls of
See's and Godiva chocolates for
Valentine's Day. We delight in
experimenting on our loved ones
MfcirtLiisL'
and ourselves, entertaining ourselves with a grown-up version
of playing doctor.
If the mad chemist in you is
dying to get out this Valentine's
Day, why not introduce him
or her to your inner bartender.
Meet the Chocolate Martini - a
cocktail glass full of the most
indulgent love potion imaginable. Smooth and creamy, this
libidinous libation is best when
enjoyed with your sweetie.
To make a pair of delicous
Choco 'tinis you need:
1 1/2 shots chocolate liqueur
(I used Godiva.)
v 1 1/2 shots creme de
cacao
1/2 shot vodka (I recommend Absolut Vanilia.)
2 1/2 shots half-and-half
Chocolate syrup to garnish
Chocolate shavings to garnish
Swirl chocolate syrup in two
chilled cocktail glasses.
Mix all ingredients
except for syrup and
shavings in a shaker
with ice, shake, and
strain into glasses.
Garnish with chocolate shavings. Enjoy!

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE
E d i t o r In Chief a d d r e s s e s C S U S M A d m i n i s t r a t i o n
Dear CSUSM Administration,
The safety of the CSUSM community is at risk. Something must be
done, immediately, to ensure the preservation of everyone's safety while on
campus.
For the second time in as many
semesters a pedestrian has been hit
by a vehicle on campus. With the
addition of Parking Lot F traffic has
increased dramatically; so too have
the chances fa accidents on campus.
Something must be done now, before
we have afetalaccident, to ensure that
no pedestrian cii campus is at risk.
Campus Police cannot be held
solely responsible for the protection
of pedestrians on campus, nor can
motorists. Thefact of the matter is,
we have dangerous intersections and
a severe lade of planning to protect
pedestrians.
While it is reported (coincidentally in this same issue of The Pride)
that Planning, Design and Construction have plans to address traffic on
campus, nothingwill be implemented
for several years. Even then, protection against pedestrian accidents will
be minimal.
The feet of the matter is, without
the death of a pedestrian, there is no
sufficient pressure driving this issue.

BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, Feb. 1 at 3:36
p.m., a 13-year-old girl riding her
bike on campus was struck by a
car. The driver was attempting
to make a left on Palm Canyon
drive toward Craven drive.
When the driver was waved
down by another driver to turn,

the driver let their foot off the
brake and collided with the girl
on the bike who was halfway
through the crosswalk. A t once,
students on foot ran to assist the
girl who ultimately sustained
minor bruising and swelling.
University Police caught the
scene on video from a camera
pod. Perched on top of Craven
Hall, Markstein Hall and Kel-
logg Library, these camera pods
can zoom in and out, and can
reach as far as to the Ralph's
shopping center across thè street
from campus.. Sergeant Jesse
Flores of University Police was
also present at the scene and
made the report. Flores said,
"We would like the community
to be cognizant of people walking and driving and to the Com-
munity Service Officers who
direct the traffic."
On Mondays through Thursdays, University CSOs work the
four-way stop every 15 minutes.
On Friday's, they work the intersection every 45 minutes and
they are constantly patrolling
traffic.
With the addition of parking lot
F and the highest enrollment in

CSUSM history, the intersection
of Campus View drive and Palm
Canyon drive is seeing record
traffic levels. Last fall, Education Librarian Toni Olivas was
struck by a van as she attempted
to walk through a crosswalk.
Ironically, a committee holding a discussion on the necessity
of the future stoplight was in session at the time of the accident.

As early as December, the
North County Transit District
will be offering a new mobility solution for CSUSM students
and North County residents. It
is called the Sprinter and it is a
rail system that will run between
Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos
and Escondido. The 22 miles of
track will run along Highway78
between 1-15 different stations.
The Sprinter will be using a

Driving while using a handheld cell phone will become punishable by fines on July 1, 2008,
according to the bill signed into

drivers $20, and the following
offenses will cost $50.
Sociology major Nicole Yescas
shares the same frustration that
most drivers have felt at one time
or another, "I have to say 90 percent of the time that I observe
problems on the road it is due
to someone talking on their cell
phone. From people sitting at
green lights, to running stop
signs, to only going 40mph in
the fast lane or pulling out of
CSUSM parking lot F, the cell
phone unfortunately seems to
inhibit people's ability to drive
attentively."

Making the transition from Campus to University
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Many students come to school
everyday, thinking of CSUSM
as a campus, but Russell Decker,
director of planning, design and
construction, is looking to turn
CSUSM into more than just a
place, but a university. CSUSM
is in the midst of Phase II of construction, planning and design,
which will take place over the
next ten years. Most students
have seen at least one completion of a project from beginning to end. Stairs that once led
nowhere lead to Markstein Hall,
and most recently the culmination of Cougar Central made a
pivotal change our campus. But

"And a lot of cars," Ramirez
added. "The vehicles don't let

light would serve both cars and
pedestrians.
Another project underway is
the McMahan House. Funded
by a $2.3 million donation from
Richard and JoAn McMahan,
the McMahan House will serve
both the university and the community. It will be built beside
the track. The knoll beside the
track will remain, but it will have
a garden. "We've just had the
schematic design approved by
the Chancellor's Office," Decker
said. The McMahan House will
mainly be a place where people
can gather, dine and hold events.
In all construction activities, the
state will only provide the money
for instructional space. Parking,
housing and recreational activities remain outside of this realm.
A baseball and softball diamond
are presently just an idea, one
that cannot become viable until
there is funding behind it. There
is also a plan to build a diving
arid swimming complex behind
the Clarke field house. Until then,
Phase II of construction, which
includes various other projects
over the next ten years, will keep
Planning, Design and Construction busy. Decker and Ramirez
both agreed that their plans for
the next ten years are ambitious.
Decker said, "We run like crazy
at the end, but there's a real sense
of completion and accomplishment and closure."

"Once the rail line is reconstructed and the loop completed,"
Kelleher explains, "our contractors need to integrate all the new
signal systems at grade crossings, our closed-circuit television
system along the line, (and) our
communication systems at our
dispatch facility in Escondido.
Our vehicles are being tested
along the line in Escondido and
San Marcos."
Once completed, the Sprinter will
help to make North County a better
place. In the near future, being stuck
on Highway 78 traveling to or from
school may be a thing of the past.
The station at Cal State San Marcos
will be located over by the campus
police station on La Moree, providing easy access to the campus and
a way to escape escalating campus
paiking fees.
The Sprinter project information line can be reached at 760599-8332.
Torabi summarize their research,
"That using hands-free cell phone
use while driving did not differentiate from using handheld cell
phones in accidents or near-accidents implies that reduced physical distraction does not necessarily enhance driving safety."
The article also demonstrates
that while male college students
hold the title for greater likelihood to drink , and drive, female
college students hold the title for
"frequent cell phone users" while
driving. We'll have to see for
ourselves how the new cell phone
law will impact California roads.

�Website of the Week:
www.finaid.org
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
Mark Kantrowitz established FinAid.
org in 1994 as a public service site,
and since then FinAid.org has been
regarded as one of the best sites for students to receive financial aid information from. FinAid is mutually beneficial
to high school and college students and
their parents. Furthermore, the website
has also received several honors by the
National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators among others.
FinAid gives students and parents
their own step-by-step guide for financing college. First, the website gives
students a College Cost Projector that
calculates the estimated cost of tuition.
Then it gives students an opportunity
to find out how much the financial aid
institution expects the student to receive
from parents. It also allows students to
calculate how much financial aid will
be needed with the help of the Financial
Aid Estimation Calculator.
Once a student determines the total
amount of financial needed aside from
parental contribution, FinAid encourages students to look at several types of
loans. The website lists several options
on how to receive a student loan, which
is a low interest loan only available for
students. Another type of loan available is a private loan. It is often based
on one's credit score, as a private lender
gives them and is separate from the government.
Another option suggested is scholarships, which do not have to be repaid,
as they are rewarded for a person's
academic excellence. With hundreds
of thousands of scholarships available
each year, FinAid provides information
that will help students find the particular scholarshipfieldhe or she is searching for, such as academics, athletics or
artistic talents.
FinAid aims to find a scholarship
that fits each individual student. It also
informs students of certain scholarships
that one should not go after. FinAid also
gives information on financial aid for
specific types of groups such as: religion, race, heritage, orientation, and so
forth. For example, there is also a unique
scholarship list such as Scholarships for
Left-Handed Students and Little People
of America Scholarship for those 4'10"
and under. Besides these unique scholarships, FinAid also provides a list of
scholarships for the average students
who maintain a 2.0 GPA and are in need
offinancialaid.
FinAid also encourages students to
complete a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid, which could give a student
the opportunity to receive both federal
and state aid for school, which are separate from each other.
The federal government gives federal
aid. A student can qualify for federal aid
through the FAFSA, and the student's
financial need is allocated according to
the information filled out on FAFSA.
Additionally, the FAFSA is forwarded
to the state departments, which then can
distribute state aid to those who qualify. In addition, other scholarships and
loans are only available to students who
havefileda FAFSA.
If visitors have trouble understanding
some of the terminology on the website,
FinAid has a glossary to help with those
words, such as fellowships, which is aid
given to graduate students to help pay
for their education. Another important
term for those who have loans would be
maturity date, which is the end date of a
loan that must be repaid in full.
If the glossary doesn't help answer
questions, FinAid has over 100 financial
aid administrators in the United States
that are available to answer questions.
Administrators can answer questions
that aren't addressed on the website,
and they can also help clarify things
that aren't making sense.
One of the things the website does
very well is help prepare students on
applying for scholarships. It guides
students into finding a scholarship that
fits his or her needs and then helps get
the student organized for a particular
scholarship by informing the student
of upcoming deadlines and eligibility
criteria. FinAid also offers students a
guide to writing essays, as they may be
required for certain scholarships.

Dr. Jill Watts receives award
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer

Dr. Jill Watts-is the recipient of the 2007
President's Award for Scholarship and Creative Activity; the ceremony took place on
Jan. 18. Dr. Watts, a History professor and
the coordinator for the Film Studies minor
at CSUSM, is currently celebrating the rerelease of her latest book, "Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood,"
originally published in October 2005, to
be out in paperback on Tuesday, Feb. 6. In
addition to these accomplishments, Watts
is also the coordinator for the Department
of History's first master's degree program,
which will be starting up in the fall of
2007.
Watts, born and raised in San Diego,
holds a bachelors degree from the University of California, San Diego, and obtained
her master's and doctoral degrees from the
University of California, Los Angeles. She
joined the faculty at CSUSM in January of
1992. Watts has also published two other
books in addition to her latest since her stay
at CSUSM.
When asked about how she likes CSUSM,
Watts commented that it is a great university;
"I can't think of a better place to be," Watts
said in an interview over the telephone.
"Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White
Hollywood," is coming out in paperback in
the beginning of February, which Watts said
pleases her, "since February is Black history month, and also the month that people
are thinking about the Academy Awards,"
Watts said. McDaniel was thefirstAfricanAmerican to win an Academy Award in
1939 for her role as Mammy in "Gone with
the Wind." The curiosity of her students was what
most motivated her to pursue not only her
researcH on McDaniel, but all of her books
including past books on Mae West and
Father Divine, and future books which she
is currently researching—one on film censorship up to World War I, and another on
the strong cinematic women of the 1930s,
said Watts
The President's Award is a prestigious
award in which a professor is nominated
by faculty and then chosen by the president
of CSUSM, Karen Haynes. "It is an honor
to receive it," Watts said, "especially considering all of the excellent faculty here."
Watts also said that she loves working with
so many excellent people including the student body, who are "very inspiring.*'
The Film Studies minor, which Watts
coordinates, is an interdisciplinary program that is shared between departments.
Watts considers it rewarding to work in a
program that brings together students from
so many disciplines. Thus far students at
CSUSM have been and continue to be very
interested in the Film Studies minor, however there are currently no plans to expand
the program.
The new History Master's program,
another of which Watts coordinates, is generating interest nationwide as it is one of the
first programs to incorporate mass media
with history. The idea behind the degree
is that one can gain experience with using
new technological advances that are currently revolutionizing the field of history,
while obtaining a traditional Master's education in history. The department is accepting applications for the Fall 2007 semester.
Watts is pleased that many people have
already applied to the program, which is
pioneering the way history is taught, studied and preserved. "Incorporating technology with history makes it a more marketable degree to obtain," Watts says.
Watts celebrates her 15th year at CSUSM
this semester.

Tiger roars through San Diego
JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
Tiger Woods reached into his bag of
tricks for another win. Woods snatched
another victory Sunday Jan. 28 at the Buick
Invitational held at Torrey Pines along the
beautiful coast of San Diego. It was his
third straight win at the Buick and his fifth
' bvCTall at1S^'t)!eg(fs finlsf public course
set to host the '08 US Open. More importantly, it was Woods' seventh victory in a
row in PGA t our events, a streak topped
only by golfing legend Byron Nelson in
1945. That's right: it is the longest streak
in 62-years. In today's game the pressures
are much more intense. The advent of the
information age has sports writers tracking Tiger's every move. Also, the field of
golfers in each tournament has increased
tremendously in that time. Golf is an international sport, and Tiger has to beat players
from New Zealand, Japan, Fiji, and every
other country's top ranked performers.
The win was tournament victory No. 55
(fifth all-time), and his eighth in San Diego
County. He has won at La Costa three times.
On Thursday, Tiger found himself five
shots back after a course record tying 61 by
tour rookie Brandt Snedeker. The twentysix year old, who said it was like playing
the Tiger Woods video game, was stalked
and eventually caught by the world's No.
1 ranked player. Each event Tiger enters
seems to have some early fireworks by a
fresh face or seasoned veteran. On Sunday,
Woods lurked a few shots back ready to
pounce. It doesn't seem to matter the situation, Tiger can overcome just about any lay
from any angle. Even landing in the bunker
16 times in thefinaltwo days netted only
bne bogeyf%afis due to focus and a bril- '
liant short game. Going up against Tiger
Woods on Sunday is like running from a
tornado; better duck and cover, because it
will go right over you. While the youngsters fell back and the veterans played
well, Tiger was busy shooting the lowest
score of thefinalround to walk away with
$936,000. When the pressure mounts, he
seems to get better. While other golfers
are happy to get a top ten finish, Woods
considers that a loss. Anything other than
first is a bad weekend. Golf is not supposed to be played with that mentality.
A tour player should plug along through
the season, finishing in the money, finding some consistency, and getting a win
here and there. The attitude of Tiger
Woods is that of a different breed. He
goes into every tournament trying to win.
It is his incredible mental ability that separates him from the other golfers in his
era and elevates Tiger Woods as one of
the best players to ever swing the clubs. In
April, Woods will attempt to get his fifth
green jacket at the Masters Tournament in
Augusta, Georgia. That's enough to start a
basketball team. Only Jack Nicklaus with
six has more. Nicklaus, with eighteen, is
the only man with more major championships than Woods who has twelve. At
31-years-old, Woods is two thirds of the
way to Jack Nicklaus. If he can win all
four majors this year and the masters next
April, Tiger Woods will be gunning to tie
a legend here in San Diego at a place he
is pretty comfortable - Torrey Pines. It is
not a likely scenario, but with Tiger Woods
nothing is' impossible.

life and Debt' -Global call ta actian
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
I don't know about any one
else, but it seems like everything, „ every global activist
organization, every global call
to action, and every celebrity,
has their eyes set on Africa
right now. Whether it's Darfur,
Uganda, the exploitation of
child soldiers, or the horrendous AIDS epidemic that continues to decimate the whole
of the African continent, there
doesn't seem to be too much
talk or any media eyes on anything besides Africa and the
war in Iraq, which doesn't get
enough coverage at that.
Keeping all of that in mind,
however, there is a place,
a small place that is being
destroyed and uprooted by the
American dollar, which no one
seems to know about. That
place is Jamaica. Jamaica? You
might be asking yourself. Yes.
Jamaica. Many of us think of
Jamaica as home to Bob Marley,
the origin of Reggae music, and
as a tropical dream vacation
destination, and that's about it.
There is much more to Jamaica,
however, than meets the eye,
or should I say, than meets the
mainstream media.
Here is where "Life and Debt,"
a film by Stephanie Black comes
into play. Utilizing the text from
Jamaica Kincaid's "A Small
Place," a story about economic
strife, life and tourism in Antigua (another Caribbean island
and Kincaid's place of origin) as
an overlay and contextual frame
for her purpose, Black opens the about the bang for their buck and naive on this matter; or perhaps

Jock Talk With Josh:
Barry Bonds
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Sports Writer

As

February

Barry
Bonds is
yet to resign with
the San Francisco Giants for
the upcoming season. Major
League Baseball is partly to
blame since they denied an
agreement between the two
parties. The reason for concern is because the contract
had a stipulation that said the
Giants could terminate the
contract if Bonds was indicted
on steroids charges.
What many people don't
know is that there were other
stipulations in that contract
that could have terminated
the deal at any point in the
season.
Clause IB stated: If the
defendant.. .1
mean.. .Mr.
Bonds shows any side effects
from steroids, the contract
shall be terminated. Things
that fall under this category
include the changing of skin
color from black to green,
exploding of purple pants, and
changing the name on the back
of his jersey to "The Incredible Hulk."
Clause 10J stated: If syringes
are found in possession of Mr.
Bonds then they better be for
the use of heroine and not for
the use of horse steroids.
Clause 16E stated: If Mr.
Bonds' is found grazing in the
outfield looking f or horse feed
then the contract shall be terminated.
Clause 24L stated: If Mr.
Bonds violently punches a
teammate in the face then it
better be because the teammate sat in Mr. Bonds' personal La-Z-Boy in the clubhouse. If the punch because
of "roid rage" then the contract
shall be terminated.
Clause 9W stated: In order
to prevent injury, Mr. Bonds is
not allowed to do certain things
for himself. The following services will be provided for him.
Mr. Bonds will be provided a
designated runner after base
hits in order to prevent knee
problems. Mr. Bonds will be
provided a designated driver
after home games so that he
doesn't have to think about
driving. Mr. Bonds will be
provided a designated "pharmacist" so that he can claim
ignorance if something tainted
should happen to appear in his
urine.
Clause 51Z stated: Mr. Bonds
will be subject to a weigh-in
every week. The weigh-in pertains just to his head. If the
weight of his head is in the
neighborhood of 50-pounds it
will be assumed that he is on
steroids and the contract shall
be terminated.
Clause 17C stated: If Mr.
Bonds hits less than 22
homeruns in the 2007 season
his "pharmacist" will be
relieved of his duties and Mr.
Bonds will have to pay back
half of his 2007 salary.
Clause 22G stated: During
the season, Mr. Bonds is
required to make 10 public
appearances, which - don't
include ones in front of a
judge.
Clause 34K stated: During
the season, Mr. Bonds is
required to perform three
public service announcements
in the fight against drug abuse.
Among the drugs Bonds feels
most strongly against are
Nyquil and Tylenol. The contract shall be terminated if he
fails to complete the P.S.A.'s.
THE
GRANDFATHER
CLAUSE: If Mr. Bonds breaks
Hank Aaron's all-time homerun record in 2007 all the prior
clauses will be null and void.
This contract was drawn up
by the Law o ffices of "Jock
Talk with Josh." Mr. Sandoval is available for hire at
Sando026@csusm.edu.
the IMF, there are giant restrictions that are in place over Jamaica's economy, imports, exports,
and production (including labor).
It just doesn't seem right.
Politics aside, the f ilm d efinitely struck a chord within
me, and I strongly urge my
peers who haven't seen it, to
take an interest in it and speak
out on behalf of Jamaica. Overall, the f ilm r eaffirmed some
things I already knew—how
indifferent people can be as
well as insensitive our society
is to the needs of other countries, how fortunate we are
to live in America regardless
of our political leaders, how
little about the world I really
do know and understand, and
how there is so much more out
there than we ever see or hear
about because of the fact that
we do live in America. It also
taught me that nothing is as
it seems, and that as students
of this university, and students of any university for that
matter, have the opportunity
to do something because of the
academic and open environment we have at our disposal.
The words of one student can
incite the actions of thousands
of students. Therefore I dare
all of you to speak out. Give
Jamaica a voice; end their life
in debt.

Letter
to the
Editor:
Net
Neutrality
This email is in response to the
"The Freedom of the Internet"
article (Jan 31st). I am very proud
that such a serious issue such as
Net Neutrality has finally gotten
exposure in our school's paper. It
blows my mind that people, rather
telecom corporations, who had
nothing to do with the creation,
development, and distribution of
the internet feel they can take the
reigns of control over the content of OUR world wide web. Not
talking about this of brushing it
off will only aid the billion dollar
fat cats in their maniacal plot
to go Farenheit 451 on our only
remaining open media outlet. The
article was well researched and
presented very admirably. Probably the most important article
to grace the pages of The Pride
since I have started coming here.
Thanks Pride,

Midori, the premier bright green melon
liqueur, was first launched in the
United States in 1978 at Studio
54. Created by Suntory, Midori
was the glue to the hit drink
called "The Universe," which
is comprised of Midori, vodka,
pineapple juice, lime juice
and pistachio flavored liqueur.
Within five years of its release,
Midori instantly became a favorite of the masses, being sold in over
20 countries, with sales steadily
increasing at 200,000 cases sold
per year.
So, the next time you're at the bar,
or getting your groove on at a club
and want to enjoy a palette-tantalizing experience, a Midori Sour is for
you.

agents, and the Mafia makes for

a wide array of actors. The film
includes big-time actors such as
Andy Garcia and Ray Liotta,
R
popular actors such as Ben
Affleck, Ryan Reynolds, and
Jeremy Piven, and even leaves
room for a rapper, Common,
and a singer, Alicia Keys, in
their acting debuts.
Aside from the impressive cast, the heart of the film
revolves around Buddy "Aces"
Israel (Piven), a modern day
version of what Frank Sinatra
might have been if he had half
the talent, twice the sleaziness,
and a mind constantly fueled
by cocaine and the prospect of
power. What the two do have in
common is their association with
the Mafia. Buddy has confined
himself to a hotel penthouse and
is attempting to save his life by
turning in valuable information about the mob, which initially started his career, into the

Susan G.
Komen
Breast Cancer
Foundation
coming to
CSUSM
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
The Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation National Education Tour is coming to campus on
Wednesday, November 15. The event
that is also known as "On the Way to
the Cure - Komen on the Go" will
be held in the Kellogg Library Plaza
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The nine week tour has 36 stops;
one of them being CSUSM. "They
go to many campuses throughout
the U.S. and we are fortunate to
be on the tour," said Rita Ruhter,
the special project coordinator for
Health and Human Services here at
CSUSM.
The event was held last year and
will probably be held again next year.
"We would like to host them again
next year but it depends on their
National Schedule," said Ruhter.
The six - hour event will include
the "Komen On the Go" pink trailer.
The event will also have computer
stations, informational materials
about breast cancer, breast selfexamination guides, opportunities
for local involvement, and suggestions about how to be effective cosurvivors. Resources about where to
go to for answers to questions about
breast health and breast cancer will
also be included, along with an eightfoot graffiti wall that will allow
students to share their ideas about
breast cancer. Prizes will be given
away for those who participate.
"It's a great educational event and
we [will] also have breast cancer
survivors on site to answer questions
and lend support," said Ruhter.
Nancy G. Brinker founded the
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation in 1982 in memory of
her sister. Brinker lost her sister
(Komen) to breast cancer. Komen
was only 36 years old and left two
children behind. Komen fought
breast cancer for three years before
the cancer over took her. From her
encounter and personal experience,
Brinker learned how the lack of
knowledge on breast cancer played a
significant role in her sister's death.
Additionally, San Diego hosted

UVA Diaries: On call with lace and Alex
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
It's Thursday night and
there are 550 students who
live in the University Village
Apartments. Most of them are
free from the burdens of their
classes until Monday. The
professional staff members
who work in the offices of the
UVA have gone home for the
evening. Tonight, out of the
15 Resident Advisors in the
UVA, it is up to Jace Getskow
and Alex Cohen to make the
rounds, enforce the rules, and
much, much more.
10:30 p.m.: The round*
begin on the first floor of
B. This is Matt Curran and
Getskow'sfloor.It's relatively
quiet thus far. Getskow and
Cohen walk slowly, pushing
on every door they walk by.
A few of the door handles are
broken, other doors are left
ajar. Every so often, as Getskow and Cohen push and the
doors and continue walking,
a resident's curious face will
appear in the hallway, wondering why their door suddenly slammed shut. "We're
just checking the doors," they
say to each resident. If a resident's door handle is broken,
Getskow and Cohen advise
them to fill in a work order at
the front desk during business
hours. "So no one walks in
and takes a TV or anything,"
Getskow says.
10:50 p.m.: Getskow and
Cohen are nearing the end
of the second floor of B,
Josh Freeman and Steven
Butler'sfloor.Getskow and
Cohen describe how most
residents think their RAs
are out to get them. "We're
not here to hunt people.
We're here to enforce rules."
Cohen says. Getskow adds,
"Our main concern is that
no one's passed out on the
floor." Most times, when
they knock on doors, to ask
students to quiet down, it's
because they can hear them
laughing loudly and playing music from two doors
down.

Get ready to take pride in something new
fellow Cougars! The Pride is now online!
Available at www.thecsusmpride.com, The
Pride student newspaper and its website have
even more to offer CSUSM students and the
campus at large. With access to more indepth features, an interactive events calendar,
extensive archive access, intriguing polls,
and other exciting tools, www.thecsusmpride.
com has it all as a one-stop destination for the
latest campus news, exciting features and
entertainment.
One of the more exclusive features on the
new website is the option to register for The
Pride, like one would register for The New
York Times or Union Tribune online. On
the homepage of the site visitors have the
option of becoming registered users; creating a personal account through which they
jonaibai^THOMIWN >
thecsusmpride.com
can comment on stories, offer story feedback, send personal letters to the editor, and
receive updates on new story uploads to the
archives.
Another great thing about www.thecsusmpride.com is that the website is now connected to a vast network of other student and
collegiate online publications. This means
visitors can also access other breaking news
stories from campuses across the nation.
Aside from being connected to a larger
network, students will also have immediate
access to the previous issues of The Pride,
which gives visitors the ability to track stories by their favorite Pride staff writers, or
track similar topics like all of the Drink of the
Week stories to date and so forth.
The direct link to the open Letter to the
Editor form is mutually beneficial to both
students and the Pride staff alike. With all of
the information needed readily available in

About U s
;
utes students who wish to voice their opinion
have it all laid out in front of them, ready to
send with one click of their mouse.
Additionally, there will be polls on the website that visitors and registered users can participate in that will allow for more studentto-student interaction as well as interaction
between the Pride and interested students.
The Pride archive available to users is practical because access to the archive is free.
Whereas with other publications users have
to pay to view past stories and issues, The
Pride's archive also allows user comments
and individual story feedback, just as users
can comment on the individual stories themselves on the current issue.
Granted, all of the mentioned features are
not operating at their maximum potential yet
as access to the site has just been made available to the public within the past few days,
but very soon all of the features will be fully
functional and available to all students.

�CSUSM plans for growth in Southwest Riverside county
BY DAVID BAUER
Pride Staff Writer
Between Murrieta and Temecula, across from the In-n-Out
Burger and next to a Mexican
restaurant is the California State
University San Marcos' South
West Riverside branch office.
This small office serves roughly
200 students from the surrounding communities who attend college courses hosted in local area
schools to earn credit at CSUSM.
The CSUSM SWRC (South West
Riverside County) branch campus
has offered classes for the last six
years to students who are either
currently enrolled at CSUSM or
participating in the Open University program. Over the next few
years though, due to an increase
in the state budget it is antici-
l^nes
pated that this office will more
than double its size, expanding to
accommodate 500 students.
Most of the CSU system
schools in Southern California
are clustered around the coastline, leaving students in areas
farther east isolated. In order
to allow students in these areas
greater access to a university
education, CSUSM established a
satellite branch in South Western
Riverside County in the city of
Temecula. The system of building
satellite campuses is not uncommon in the CSU system. CSU
Channel Islands operates one
in Camarillo, CSU Northridge
operates one in Ventura, and in
1978 San Diego State University,
built a satellite campus in North
County, which in 1989 became
CSU San Marcos.
The CSUSM SWRC "campus"
is really just an administrative
office, that offers a few other services such as taking the Computer Competency Requirement
Exam as well as limited academic advising. The classes at the
CSUSM SWRC branch campus
are held in the nearby classrooms
in Temecula and Murrieta area
schools. The classes, that number
11 for fall semester and 14 for last
spring, are generally taught by
CSUSM faculty and staff. Taught
in classrooms mostly in Ronald
Reagan Elementary School in
Wildomar, and at Temecula
Valley High School. The classes
are generally smaller and offered
in the evenings or early mornings. While there are some fulltime programs, most cater to part
time and evening students.
There are a few courses at
CSUSM SWRC branch campus
that are also focused on helping
graduate students earn either the
Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, or earn two of the pre
requisites for any of the other
credential programs at CSUSM.
There are also some upper division general education courses
offered for students, and some for
those attempting to earn a degree
in Liberal Studies. However, in
order to meet all of the requirements for their degrees, students
will need to take some classes at
the main CSUSM campus. There
are also limitations on the kinds
of courses that can be offered at
the branch office; an agreement
with Mt./San Jacinto Community
College's Temecula branch prevents CSUSM from offering competing lower division courses.
Students at CSUSM SWRC
branch campus are also limited to
Social Sciences and Humanities
classes, meaning that students
with other majors will at most
only be able to take a few general
education classes at the SWRC
branch; but that may change in
the near future with the increased
enrollment allowance and budget
increase.
With an increase in funding for
the CSU system from the California state's general fund of $54 million for the 2006-2007 year, and the
possible windfall if Prop ID passes,
the SWRC branch will be able to
increase the number of classes and
services over the next few years.
Program coordinators at the SWRC
branch hope to expand to offer
classes in Science and Math as well
as offering Continuing Education
activities. Their plans also include
opening an actual campus facility
for the program in Temecula.

see Apple's iPod well on track
for replacing Sony's Walkman as the most popular portable audio product in history.
This popularity combined with
the CSUSM's willingness to
embrace non traditional teaching methods, such as online
and distance learning make
podcasting lectures an attractive option for schools and a
lucrative one for Apple.
The flexibility of distributing
material via podcast generally
appeals to students, and the availability ofmaterial for students will
probably be even more appealing
to students who can download a
lecture and listen to it anywhere
rather than make the commute
to campus. The ability for students with an internet connection
anywhere in the world to listen
to courses from CSUSM professors could change the way classes
are taught and how we take college courses. Previously recorded
courses could potentially be
recycledfromprevious years and
downloaded by incoming students
as a cost cutting measure by some
schools. It could also make professors tired of lecturing to empty
classrooms implement mandatory
attendance policies. Either way
podcasting lectures may be the
next step in thé evolution in teaching. "It might change the way we
teach", wrote Professor Berghof.

and Bonghabih Shey stepped up
her game to take that same spot in

The event, which was hosted
by Fresno Pacific University, was
held at Woodland Park in Fresno,
CA on Saturday. Thanks to their
performances, both Cougar
teams are expected to be heading
to Nationals in two weeks.

Concordia University made it a
clean sweep on the day, winning
the women's event as well. Azusa
Pacific, Vanguard, and Point
Loma Nazarene finished ahead
of the Cougar women as well,
but the squad should still make
Nationals. For both the men and
women, that event will be held
on November 18th in Louisville,

tested positive for steroids. He decided to
drop his suspension appeal to the
NFL office, because he realized
the four games suspension would
be upheld and if he waited any
longer to start the suspension he
would have missed both games
versus the Denver Broncos.
I enjoy watching Merriman
play, probably more than any
other defensive player in the
league. If he had simply come to
me for some advice on the matter,
he might have had a chance
against the league office. With
that said, I present to you the top
10 excuses Shawne Merriman
could have used to explain why
he tested positive for steroids.
10 - "The lab technician who
handled my urine sample was a
Broncos fan. Now that I think
about it, the guy who handed me
the cup to urinate in looked an
awfuHot like Jake Plummer."
9-"ItookasipfromBarry Bonds'
water botde. At least I thought it was
water. He told me it was water. I can
trust Barry, right?"
8 - "You see, there is an initiation process to become an official

to spend Thanksgiving with my
family. That's how much I love my
family.. .and cranberry sauce."
4 - "I guess I misheard the
salesclerk at 'Radio Shack'. I
thought he said check out the new
stereos."
3 - "My nickname 'Lights Out'
applies to more things than my
playing ability. You see, sometimes the lights go out in my
head and I black out for hours at
a time. I can't be held responsible
for what goes in my body during
that period of time."
2 - "Recently I have become
a big brother to a disadvantaged
youth. One day I came upon him
with a syringe in his hand. He said
he was going to shoot up because
he wanted to make it to the NFL
one day. I wouldn't let that happen
to a developing young boy, so I
snatched the syringe from his
hand and injected myself, just so
he couldn't harm his own body.
So, if you really think about it, I
am a hero. Don't do drugs kids."
1 - "I couldn't stand to watch
anymore Marty Ball, and I don't
even play offense."
Next time you athletes get into
trouble, just come to me. No problem is beyond repair for me. Just

CD review:
MuteMath equals a good time
to take hold of the Warped and scene kids
as well as the local cheer squad and other
artistic misfits.
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
"Plan B" is the most diverse song on the
Pride Staff Writer
album in terms of the stylistic choices made
Better not sit down before you listen to by the band and the instruments used. It's
this one. MuteMath is exactly like what
you'd listen to if a squad of fifty police
cars were chasing you down the 1-15 like
a fugitive on "America's Most Wanted."
That said, the opening number on the latest
release from Teleprompt/Warner Records
is a little on the softer side of the usual
MuteMath fury. Don't let that stand in your
way though. "Typical" still has enough guts
to get your heart pumping. The four-piece
New Orleans ensemble holds nothing back
on this rockin' self-titled release. Clocking
in at just over 63 minutes, MuteMath will
have your palms sweating and your heart
racing for a solid hour; that's better than
putting in an hour of cardio at the gym, if
you ask me.
With 14 tracks of high quality mayhem
and skilled musicianship, the vocals of
lead singer Paul Meany are a little bit Sting
meets John Mayer, but also slightly The MuteMath plays at the House of Blues.
Shins meet Simon and Garfunkel. The
sound is a mixture of several genres: rock, fast enough to rock out to, but still chill
electrónica, rave, reggae, pop, new wave enough to cruise to between pockets of
and j azz. Creating ambient songs that carry traffic on the freeway. Utilizing magical

songs on "MuteMath" are different enough spontaneous bouts of energy throughout all

Math. Its fast tempo, chasing cymbals, and
organ-esque breakdown paired with the
heavy and echoing pipes of Meany fuse
together seamlessly.
"Stare at the Sun," is more tech than it is
techno, combining multiple levels of distortion with electronic noises and guitar-heavy
rhythms. The vocals on this song, however,
smooth this number down, rounding it out
as a fairly enjoyable listening affair.
Speaking of affairs, seeing MuteMath
live is by far an affair I'll never be able to
forget. I had the opportunity to witness
them live a little over a year ago when they
opened for Mae at the San Diego House
of Blues. MuteMath totally stole the show.
They were thefirstband to play, and they
could have very well been the only band
that played that night None of the bands
that followed the incredible show MuteMath put on came even close to the quality and showmanship MuteMath possessed
that night. Jumping on equipment, thrashing bejeweled keytars, throwing instruments all over the stage, the lead singer

Every yearfromOctober through December, Deschutes Breweries' of central Oregon
brews their highly-anticipated Winter Jubelale. This year's batch has done especially
well, winning the Silver Medal at the 2006
Australian International Beef Awards and
taking home the gold in the 2006 World
Beer Championships. Deschutes 2006 Jubelale is a deep red-brown color. The head is
frothy and an inch thick which disappeared
after a few minutes leaving a small amount
of lacing around the edges. The smell is
crisp, sweet and well spicey with undertones
provided by its warm toasted malts. The
ale tastes sweet, fruity and spiced. It has a
medium mouthfeel and good body. Perfect
for the cold autumn and winter season, Jubelale is warming and delicious. Its after taste
is clean and slightly bitter with a hint of a
toasted maltflavor.It is available both on tap

"Hey, careful, man, there's a
beverage here!" cautions The
Dude, fearing for his precious
potion while being shoved into a
limousine. The beverage in question is the White Russian and its
popularity increaseddramatically
after Jeff Bridges starred as "The
Dude" Lebowski, an L.A. slacker
with a steady routine: "I bowl.
Drive around. The occasional
acid flashback." A Coen Brothers' film, "The Big Lebowski"
introduced cocktail-lovers' far
and wide to a little beverage that
shares its name with the Bolsheviks' political opponents during
the Russian Civil War.
The White Russian is a simple,
creamy cocktail composed of
vodka, Kahlua and cream served
on the rocks in an oldfashioned glass.
Though by no
means intensely
sweet, the flavor j
of the drink
reminds me
of an old-style
hard candy
like Werther's
Original. Its
creamy texture
and smooth,
warm sensation
boosts its luxury
factor - each sip
makes me feel as
if I'm indulging in
something delightfully decadent. Considering that the classic White Russian
contains cream, which
can be substituted for with
milk, it's a little, beverage that can
be quite naughty to your waistline. Also, don't be fooled by its
innocent appearance. Having
more than one of these little
beauties can make the unsuspecting drinker go from pleasantly
warm and relaxed to downright
debauched in surprisingly little
time. Thus, unlike The Dude, I
tend to reserve the White Russian
for treats and special occasions.
Making your own White Russian is simple: toss some ice into
an old-fashioned glass, add 2
ounces vodka, 1 ounce Kahlua,
and fill with light cream. Substituting Vanilla vodka (I use
Absolut Vanilia) will add another
subtle layer offlavor,making the
drink taste even more like a delicious candy confection. Enjoy!

I've heard the song many times
on the local country radio stations; I just never really connected it to the movie "Flicka,"
until now. Listening to it, though,
in the car or at home, I've always
found myself a little misty-eyed at
the end of the song as it reminds

over and the 9-yr-old boy I babysit looking at me like I'm" crazy,
"My Little Girl," by Tim McGraw
anthems as the credits roll, and I
once again find myself mistyeyed. Inspired by the much-loved
novel "My Friend Flicka," by
Mary O'Hara, the adapted fulllength motion picture, "Flicka,"
is for those of all ages, especially
for those young at heart.
Starring Alison Lohman as
Mary McLaughlin and a shaven
Tim McGraw in his first acting
role as Mary's father, "Flicka'Ms
an endearing and enjoyable story
of a 16-yr-old girl who discovers herself in the wild mustang
she finds, befriends, and names
Flicka. Determined to follow her
family legacy and run her father's
horse ranch, Mary finds the wild
horse in the hills of modern day
Wyoming, and quicklyfindsthat
she and Flicka are more alike than
she could have ever dreamed.
Unwilling to give up her freedom, both Mary and Flicka face
challenges and loss in the film.
Capturing the connection that
can be made between a girl and
her animal companion, in this
case a wild mustang, "Flicka"
personifies the transition from
adolescence to adulthood and the
rocky journey one can experience
along the way.

Watching the interaction and
realizations made by Mary in
her relationship with Flicka, and
through Mary and her relationship with her father, I found a
deeper appreciation for the good
things in life and the opportunities we all have each day to chase
our dreams and become the
person we wish to be.
The transformation that happens within Mary, Flicka, and
Mary's father in thefilmis humbling, and even though it's just a
movie, it inspires a multitude of
ideas and new hopes.
Set in the lush and beautiful
landscapes of the hills and mountains that decorate Wyoming,
more than anything, the scenery
and nature in "Flicka" awakened
this urge and need inside myself
to pick up and take off into the
wilderness: to get back to nature,
to be free from civilization, and
to be free in nature's beauty.
It seems that in the middle of

ation, somewhere amidst the natural world, and somewhere away
from everything is else is the
exact place to take a moment to
find yourself.
A kid-friendly flick and tearjerker at times, "Flicka" is a
film that gives you your money's
worth, along with a few parting
thoughts. Though it wouldn't be
my first box office pick, I would
highly recommend "Flicka" to
anyone looking to do a little soulsearching.

Editor in Chief
The recent pedestrian accident
on campus raises many questions about the future plans for
CSUSM students and faculty
members regarding traffic safety
and school growth. To answer
many of these questions The
Pride contacted the Planning,
Design and Construction Staff
here at CSUSM to see what, if
any, plans addressing these concerns exist.
In a discussion with Bradly
Fenton, the Project Manager in
the Planning, Design and Construction department, the Pride
found that CSUSM is in the process of having a traffic engineer
make arrangements to construct
a traffic signal at the intersection
of Craven and Palm Canyon. In
order for any construction to be
started an environmental impact
study must be completed. Last
month the study was finalized
and made available for public
review. From this point all that is
left is moving forward with necessary documents and gaining the
appropriate funding for the project. While the new parking lot F
was being constructed, simultaneously plans for an intersection
at the intersection of Craven and
Palm Canyon were being implemented. The plans call for a sigPLANS, SEE page 2
On; Wednesday September 6
at approximately 5 p.m., a faculty member driving a late model
Volkswagen van through the
intersection of Craven and Palm
Canyon Road struck a pedestrian
crossing the road.
The driver of the van, CSUSM
faculty member Dr. Gary Addou,
was questioned by CSUSM
police. Pedestrian and faculty
member Antonia Olivas, an assistant Librarian at Kellogg Library,
received medical attention and
was taken to a near by hospital.
No charges are being filed by
either party at this time.
CSUSM police found that the
driver was the party most at fault
based on vehicle code 21950 (c)
which states that "the driver of a
vehicle approaching a pedestrian
within a crosswalk shall reduce
speed of the vehicle or take any
action or other action relating to
the operation of the vehicle as
necessary to safeguard the safety
of the pedestrian."
However according to CSUSM
police, some other mitigating factors contributed to the accident:
The sun was directly in the driver's eyes, making it difficult to see
in the direction of the pedestrian.
It was also found that the victim
did not see the van. She reportACCIDENT, SEE page 2

Have you ever thought life might be

one must spend just to get to school, the
cost of housing, and the additional costs
of living and work, it's sometimes more

nalized intersection to control
the higher .rate of traffic going
through the intersection with the
advent of the new parking lot. In
addition to this particular intersection plans for more signalized
intersections throughout campus
are being drafted.
While the recent accident won't
change any of the time tables for
construction of a signalized intersection, it does expose the need
for one. According to Fenton,
the opening of lot F only exacerbated the need for a controlled
intersection for the protection of
both vehicles and pedestrians on
campus.
Fenton also stated, "A signalized intersection was mandatory for the amount of cars
that are now using the intersection." Pedestrian bridges were an
option; however each intersection
would require four bridges. At a
cost of half a million dollars each,
bridges are not a feasible solution. Lighted intersections typically cost anywhere from 150 to
250 thousand dollars. Signalized
intersections are significantly
cheaper than pedestrian bridges.
According to Fenton, bridges are
typically a waste of money as
well. Fenton also stated, "Traffic
engineers have noted that people
traditionally don't use pedestrian
bridges if the cross walk is available. They still cross the street."
Eventually lot C will have a parking structure, where a bridge may
be built to come off the structure
and connect to campus, however
this project is six to seven years
away.
As soon as funding becomes
available it should take approximately six months to complete
the signalized intersection. The
money has been requested, and
if the proposed educational bond
passes in November, the money
will become available. That same
bond will also fund the next
campus building, the Social and
Behavioral Sciences Building.
After the environmental impact
study has been completed, the
project takes approximately six
to eight months with documents
and bidding. Construction takes
about three months.
At this point during next
semester, assuming the funding
is allocated, construction on the
signalized intersection could be
completed.

Also, with the opening of lot F
a new traffic situation has been

This is something that students

Right now the gas prices run from

from a few miles to forty or more. Surprisingly, students who stay in on-campus housing sometimes pay less on their monthly
housing than those renting an apartment in
other areas of San Diego.
At CSUSM, students can stay in oncampus housing apartments that are located
at the base of the hill the college is built on.
Built by the Allen and OHara business the
CSUSM on-campus housing complex is
walking distance from the school and can
currently hold up to about 568 students. The
dorms are built to be more like an apartment community than dormitories. The
structures were built to look like apartments both on the inside and outside.
At the University Village Apartments,
where the students live on-campus, a 'private room' costs $700. One can have a 6person dorm or a four-person dorm. For a
dorm that holds six people, a shared room
costs $500. For a dorm that holds four
people, the cost is $600. On average a oneperson apartment, that has all the same
basic amenities as the dorms, would cost
around $600; of course there are exceptions
with slightly lower or higher prices depending on what part of San Marcos you live in.
A two bedroom, on average, starts around
$700, not including any extra bills. It gets
a lot more expensive if you want newer or

more conveniently located apartments as
well.
Melanee Pile, a current senior at
CSUSM, currently works and lives and
attends CSUSM. She is currently an RA
for the UVA (University Village Apartments) and has lived in on-campus hous. ing since summer. Though RA's live in
on-campus housing for free, the experiences are still the same. "I love it" she said,
when I asked her how she likes living in the
dorms. When asked if some students felt
constrained by living with so many other
students so close to where they go to school
she replied saying, "not regular dorm style.
Its more like an apartment feels." With an
"open community, not like a (jail) cell."
When asked about comparing it to living
off campus and commuting to school she
said its "easier than commuting." All last
year Melanee commuted forty-five minutes
to make it to campus.
While not economically beneficial to
everyone, namely those living at home or
sharing housing off campus, living oncampus can benefit some students. For
those students who want to stay in the oncampus apartments and avoid a commute to
school, there is however a waiting list. With
limited room, and all spots taken, the UVA
has a waiting list for those seeking to get a
spot. Fortunately for those wishing to live
on-campus later in their academic careers
and for students that will attend CSUSM in
the coming years, a new parking structure
for on-campus students is on the way in
about a year and hopefully in three years a
new "tower" of on-campus apartments will
be put in to give more rooms for more students.
On Saturday, Septermber 30 at 7:30

�Checking in with IIVA
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
As we're going into our fourth
week of school, residents and
their advisors are beginning to
get into the full swing of life in
the University Village Apartments. JJ . Getsklw is a first
time resident advisor who lived
in the dorms last year. "Now
that we have soccer, that's been
a highlight for our residents."
There have been many activities offered at the UVA this fall
including free Monday night dinners put on by Bryan Dawson and
his wife. "Any student loves free
food. That's how we attract them
to our programs." But the UVA
isn't the only one producing fun
activities for students to take part
in. "Through the efforts of ASI,
the Clarke Field House and the
RA's, we've had a lot of interest
in activities," Getsklw said.
According to Getsklw, most of
the problems RA's have encountered have revolved around noise
complaints. With rooms of up to
six roommates, each roommate is
allowed to have three guests. "If
it's a party or if alcohol is present, it's fine if all residents are
over twenty one, if not then it's
us who pour it out."
If there is an incident with
alcohol or marijuana, it is the
resident advisor's job to write out
an IR or incident report. "If it's a
first time offence, the student has
a conduct meeting held by either
Bryan Dawson, Ryan McCrae or
Desiree Woodruff. They handle
all the conduct issues. RAs have
nothing to do with the conduct
meeting or punishment," Getsklw
said.
As Getkklw said, "Marijuana is
the worst thing you can do here."
The result of getting caught with
marijuana is two strikes against
the student. It takes three before
a student can get evicted. "With
a second strike, a student's contract is in jeopardy and the student is sent to the dean of students
because there is an agreement
with the campus on that issue."
As for the freshman, they seem
to be enjoying the overall experience of the UVA. According to
Danielle Mitchell, she says, "I'm
getting along with my roommate, especially since she's my
best friend." As for Kierra Hunt's
roommates, she says, "We're all
pretty cooperative, sometimes
we have misunderstandings over
cleaning but we always resolve
it."
During the third week of
school, open door week took
place for siudents to mingle
with each other. Alex Ingram
said, "The RAs try hard but they
should have done open door week
during the first week of school."
His roommate Alfon Allen said,
"I have a problem with dorm
rules, the quiet hours shouldn't
be at (10:00 pm)." Their roommate Greg Moore said, "Everything's cool with my roommates
but it's a lot like a war bunker. It
teaches us responsibility and how
to make situations good."

C lub of t he W eek: A ccounting S ociety
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
If you are enrolled in any College Business Administration
required class or even more specifically enrolled in an accounting class this semester then you
have probably already been solicited to join the CSUSM Accounting Society. As you listened to
your iPod or napped during a
short introduction regarding the
Accounting Society you missed
a chance at a potentially prosperous semester, new friends and
connections, and ultimately a
future career in accounting.
Most students would agree
that this is not the best way to
start a semester. Fortunately for
those who are still interested
or dare to be different and be
involved with CSUSM making it
the great campus that it is today,
the Accounting Society is still
looking for you. The CSUSM
Accounting Society (as it is officially titled in Article One of the
Bylaws for the group) is more
commonly known as the Accounting Society to CSUSM students.
"We are looking at increasing
our memberships from interring
business. And non-business students and keeping regular members active," stated Jessica Alfaro
who is the current President of
the Accounting Society who is an
Accounting Major who plans to
graduate this December of 2006
said Alfaro.
The Accounting Society is
recognized as "the oldest club",
according to Alfaro, and was
established before the current
CSUSM campus was built and
the school was hosted in a shopping center in San Marcos. The
Accounting Society was originally created to "act as an interface for students and accounting
i
professionals and so students
could get a good understanding
of what the accounting industry was like," said Alfaro. The
Accounting Society contributes to CSUSM by "presenting
CSUSM in a strong and professional way while getting students
prepared" for classes and future
careers said Alfaro. A trend can
be seen in the Accounting Society. "Accounting Society Alumni
often times work in the firms that
donate to CSUSM or directly to
Accounting Society and other
Alumni will also look at current members in the Accounting Society" for future positions said Alfaro. The Accounting Society holds two weekly
meetings currently in Markstein
Hall 104 on Wednesdays and
Thursdays from 12 o'clock to 1
o'clock during University Hour.
Students should expect "to get
professional knowledge and to
held August 30th said Alfaro.
"All students are encouraged
to get involved now and attend
the meetings," said Alfaro. Still
think that Accounting Society is
not for you, maybe perhaps it's
too stuffy? Upon calling a willing and patient Alfaro for some
last minute questions regarding
the Accounting Society late and
extremely last minute on a Saturday night a familiar loud thumping beat of "Play that -funky
music" by Wild Cherry throbbed
through the phone. Open the door
yourself and check out one of
these meetings that the Accounting Society has to offer.

This past week on September

will be held in Markstein Hall

�Men's soccer team dedicates w in to Steve Irwin
BY FERNANDO BROWN
Pride Sports Writer
Last week, the world was
shocked to hear news regarding
the untimely death of Steve Irwin,
"The Crocodile Hunter". People
worldwide have been expressing
their condolences and appreciation for his contribution towards
wildlife preservation. The Cal
State San Marcos men's soccer
team went into Saturday's game
with the objective of winning for
the university and in memory of
Steve Irwin.
On
Saturday
September
9, after two scoreless halves
between CSUSM and visiting
Pomona Pitzer, the game headed
into double overtime. Senior
Ben Crouse, a transfer from the
University of Notre Dame, set
up Freshman Bradley Seidenglanz for the game winning goal.
Immediately after the goal,
Seidenglanz sprinted towards the
Cougar fans, raising his jersey
and unveiling his "In Memory of
Steve Irwin" undershirt.
"I was a big fan of 'The Crocodile Hunter.' I use to watch him
as a kid", said Seidenglanz. "The
teammates and I thought of a way
to celebrate his life."
In an offensive 1-0
struggle, the men's team endured
a physical contest, testing their
will and determination. A visibly
bigger and athletic Pomona team
disrupted the play of the confident Cougars.
"We were not as sharp,
or focused* today," said Coach *
Ron Pulvers. "Our concentration

�Jock Talk With Josh: Steve Foley
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Sports Writer
It has been a little over a week
now since Chargers linebacker
Steve Foley was shot by an offduty Coronado police officer. I
have spent that week reflecting
on the whole situation.
Aaron Mansker, the off-duty
cop who formerly worked at Palomar College, claims that Foley
was swerving at various speeds
on Interstate freeway 163 in the
early hours after 2 AM, nearly
hitting other cars and road barriers. He followed Foley to his
home on Travertine Court in
Poway, all the while making several attempts at pulling him over
and attempting to let him know
that he was an officer.
I personally haven't had the
best experiences with cops,
partially because some of my
friends are not that bright, and
simply because I am Latino. I
can remember one time playing basketball in an area that is
not accustomed to diversity and
having two cop cars pull onto the
court with sirens blaring, asking
me questions about who I was
and what I was doing. That was in
the sunlight, so I can only imagine what a black man who plays
in the NFL would be thinking if
someone claiming to be an offduty cop at 3 AM was following
him while waiving a gun. For all
Foley knew, Mansker could have
been some crazy fan.
I know many of you are probably saying, "Why do you have
to bring race into this?" Well, my
answer is that because whether
you want to admit it or not, race
is a factor in nearly everything in
life. I suggest taking Intercultural
Communication 330 with Fredi
Avalos or Sociology Inequality
311 with Donna Goyer. Those
classes could clear some things
up for you.
got to be honest and say
that if I am driving at 3 AM and
someone claiming to be an offduty cop tries to pull me over,
there is no, way I am pulling
over. I am waiting for back-up to
show, because general protocol
for most police departments state
that an off-duty officer should not
attempt an arrest immediately,
but wait for uniformed officers to
show up on the scene in marked
cars. I, like Foley can only react
on my own experiences. Someone in plain clothes waiving a
gun at me is not an officer, even
if he claims to be one.
Mansker claims that Foley
reached for his waistband when
he stepped out of his vehicle near
his home. I don't know about any
of you, but hearing that piece of
news reminded me of the scene
in "Crash" when Ryan Phillippe's
character kills Larenz Tate's
character. Phillippe thinks Tate
is reaching for a gun in his jacket
and Tate is actually trying to
show him that they own the same
religious artifact.
Foley is a menacing looking
dude, but everyone I know who
has had experiences with him has
had nothing but the nicest things
to say about him. I have spent
numerous days at Chargers training camp the past two seasons
and have witnessed his interaction with the fans. Other than
Ladainian Tomlinson there may
be no greater Chargers ambassador to younger fans than Foley.
I am in no way defending Foley
because the guy does have some
alcohol related problems in his
past and at the time l am writing
this not much has been confirmed
regarding this incident. All I am
saying is that there are sketchy
circumstances on both sides of
the ball in this situation.
By the way, if I offended any
of the officers on this campus, I
didn't mean it. I love you guys, so
don't bother me.

Letter to the Editor: Pedestrians need to be careful
Do you all remember the days when
Mommy and Daddy would constantly tell
you to look both ways before you walk
out into the street? Did you all somehow
forget how to look once you got to college? After the accident that happened
on Wednesday around 5:15pm, I would
hope that most of you would realize that
it could have been you lying in the road. I
do not know all the details, because it was
minutes after I had crossed, but I hope
anyone involved in the accident is alright.
I understand everyone is in a hurry to get
home or to work so you just walk out to
get to your car thinking "they'll stop, I'm
a pedestrian, I have the right a way" but
that won't always play in your favor. With
the new lot F open, the line of cars trying
to leave down the hill is incredible! Why
not instead of walking by yourself across
the road, holding up that line of traffic,
you wait until there is a group of students
t o cross. Let the cars get out as well, I'm
sure they are in just as big of a hurry as
you are. We can't always have the campus
police out there directing traffic so we
need to be adults here and pay attention!
Don't just step off the curb and HOPE the
cars see you and stop, because they may
not. I don't think we'll be getting a traf-
fic light with the flashing hand allowing
you to cross anytime soon so until then,
look both ways before you cross, and let a
few cars go until there are a few people to
walk across with you.

T h e C ovenant
BY NATASHA HECKENDORN
Pride Staff Writer
If you're looking for a relaxing film
to take your mind off life for a while, I
would recommend The Covenant. It's
easy to watch and easy on the brain.
There isn't much plot, just pure entertainment. If you like movies like Lost
Boys, Duces Wild, and American Outlaws, you'll like The Covenant
Although the five boys, Caleb
(Steven Strait)* Progue (Taylor
Kitsch), Chase (Sebastion Stan),Reid (Toby Hemingway), and Tylef
(Chance Crawford) are descendants
from witches, they use something
like super powers friore than spells
and chants. Hurling balls of energy
at one another, the boys struggle to
maintain control of this addictive
habit because using the powers they
have will lead to very premature
aging. The action scenes are fun and
the special effects are well done, but
not overdone.
There are a lot of similar looking
characters, which is a little confusing at first, but once you place seven
or so names with characters, it's an
enjoyable movie. There are also a
few scantily clad girls weaved into
the movie to add some diversity, but
they don't have much to do with the
story.
As far as suspense goes, it doesn't
have it. This is an action film with
hot bodies. There aren't any surprises and the end is left Open for a
sequel. There's no question about
who the bad guy is and no misleading
suspects. Everything is laid out for
the audience as they watch the characters figure out what they already
know.
There are a few minor issues that
you just have to ignore in order to
enjoy this film. The first and most
obvious is the appearance of ghosts
or spirits called "darklings" are never
explained. The characters know
what they are, but the audience is
kept in the dark. Fortunately, they
don't seem to do much except give
the audience a cheap thrill.
There are also a few characters
introduced in the beginning that
serve no purpose in the mpvie, adding
identity confusion to an already
overstuffed cast of young,, attractive
actors. It's hard enough to tell them
apart without adding needless characters. One last thing that I found
annoying was the use of dialogue to
explain the plot.
Despite these faults of this movie,
I did enjoy living in a fantasy world
for an hour and a half where regular people get to have super natural powers. Where the good guy is
completely good and the bad guy is
almost completely bad. The Covenant is probably not going to win any
awards, but it will keep you entertained.

�BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
While the warm weather still calls
for the perfect cool-me-down, there's
really nothing that compares with a
frozen drink: Cool and refreshing, with
that happy, fuzzy buzz only tequila can
provide, nothing fits the bill quite like a
Strawberry Margarita.
Noone seems to agree on the origins of
the Margarita, theories ranging from a bar
owner in Acapulco named Margarita, and
a bartender infatuated with a young lady
named Margarita. However, this much is
certain: the originator and all those who
expanded upon his or her recipe are~true
innovators in the colorful world of mixed
drinks.
A
Strawberry Margarita
has
four
basic
i ngredients:
tequila, strawberries,
lime
juice, and triple sec.
It may come as a surprise
that so many variations
have been derived from this
basic recipe. Still, while some
prefer to use fresh strawberries, some prefer frozen, and
others simply must have
frozen sliced strawberries in syrup to please
their sweet tooth,
Tequila is another
bone of contention as many
have their own favorite
brand. Arguably, however,
any silver tequila will add a
distinctiveflavorwhose heat
will still juxtapose beautifully with the icy sweetness of
the 'rita.
The biggest difference, perhaps,
between the various Strawberry 'Ritas
out there, is the method of blending. In
some, the ingredients are stirred together
with ice in a mixing glass and strained
into a margarita glass. In others, the
ingredients are tossed into a blender
and intermingled into a slushy consistency:
Yet, no matter what recipe or
Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride
method is preferred, the Strawberry
Margarita will leave its drinker duly
refreshed.
A respectable Strawberry Margarita
recipe (one serving):
1 Vi ounces silver tequila, 14 ounce
Cointreau, 1 ounce fresh lime juice (or
Rose's lime juice for a sweeter flavor),
4 ounces frozen strawberries (partially
thawed), 1 scoop ice, Lime slice,1 fresh
strawberry, Coarse sugar.
Combine all ingredients, save for the
lime slice, fresh strawberry, and coarse
sugar, in a blender and blend until desired
consistency is achieved. Rub the rim of
a margarita glass with lime and dip into
coarse sugar t o coat. Pour- mixture into
glass and garnish with the fresh strawberry. Enjoy!

September marks the end of sumijier,
aad;as suclr it i i the last chance to enjoy
summer brews and the fruitflavoredbeers.
Thefirsttime I had a Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde, I was a little apprehensive.
The name brought to mind images of a
number of sugary "malt beverages" such
as Smirnoff Ice or Mike's Hard Lemonade.
While many people enjoy those sorts of
drinks, I am overpowered by their sweetness. So it took a considerable amount of
Restaurant
reassurance before I tried one and
the result was an enjoyable afternoon and a new summer tradition.
. P e t e ' s Wicked Strawberry
Blonde is a Golden Lager brewed
and bottled since the late 1980's by
Pete's Brewing Company in San
Antonio, Texas. I t ^ widely available beer, usually J ol| in six and
twelve packs for a reasonable price.
Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde
is brewed with pale and wheat
malts, and yakima and tettnang
hops. At five percent alcohol per
Photo by David Gatley / The Pride
volume, it's an excellent beer for a
warm afternoon, though its unique
taste may not be ideal for a extended
drinking session.
Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde
pours smooth, leaving a thick, rich
head which dissolves slowly leaving
ropy lacings on the side of the glass.
The beer itself is a pleasantly clear
amber color. As it pours, you can
clearly smell the wheat and a hint of
strawberryflavor.It has a slightly sweet
andfruitytaste, but not an over powering
one. Hie titular strawberry taste is not an artificial sort of strawberry candyflavor;instead
it's more like the actual berry's taste. The beer
as a whole has a deep and smooth taste; the
sweetness of strawberry tempered against the
rich, full taste of the wheat malt. The mouthfeel is cool and refreshing, and slightly crisp
and carbonated. The aftertaste is a little flat,
but not unpleasant.
Although available year round, this beer
is best appreciated during the long days of
summer; and since those days are quickly
running out, it's best to enjoy a few before
you miss your opportunity for the year.
Review:
arieta's F ine Mexican Food
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Marieta's Fine Mexican Food
is one of 18 restaurants in Old
California Restaurant Row, a
mission-style complex that also
offers a variety ofboutiques and
an Edward's Cinema. Located
on San Marcos Boulevard,
Restaurant Row is less than
three miles from CSUSM.
The visitor to Marieta's,
upon entering, is enveloped
by the smell of Mexican spices
and a softy buzzing energy.
Low, rough-hewn beamed ceilings support hanging lamps of
colored glass and numerous
string lights of various shapes
and sizes. The relative dimness contributes to the overall
feeling of intimacy of the interior. Painted in hues of green
and honey-beige, the walls are
bedecked with ceramic sun
sculptures, wooden carvings,
sepia-toned photographs, and
paintings, one in particular
depicting women dancing in
a courtyard and clad in traditional mantillas.
The evening my husband
and I visited, in less than
five minutes the hostess had
showed us to our table, our
server had taken our order for
drinks and an appetizer, and
chips and salsa had been delivered to our table. Our server
remained speedy and attentive, indeed brisk, the rest of
the evening.
Patrons of the restatfraat
were diverse, including|pmil^
groups and young and^oider
couples. All seemed relaxed
and happy, diving into carne
asada, enchiladas, tacos, and
other fare with a healthy gusto.
The presentation of my
meal, Enchiladas Suizas, was
simple, rice on one side, beans
on the other, two enchiladas in
between that were smothered
in cheese and green tomatillo
sauce and stuffed with moist,
flavorful, shredded chicken.
For the tequila connoisseur
or those simply seeking to
become intimately acquainted
with tequila, Marieta's boasts a
collection of 50. One of the 50
managed to find its merry way
into my strawberry margarita,
smoothly blended and garnished with a slice of orange.
For two entrees, two drinks,
and %o$e, appetizer we paid
$42188. "Though perlrap^ntft a
thrifty meal, we nonetheless
plan to return.

Summer nights on campus are soon to be over, here's one last good look at Craven Hall at sunset.
ASI is a student run auxiliary
which acts as the voice of the
student body. As the students'
advocate, ASI creates opportunities for student engagement such
as concerts, festivals, intramural
sports and other activities that
students request for their enjoyment and betterment. Currently,
there are five competitive club
sport programs which include
men and women's soccer, volleyball and two co-ed surf teams,
but there are many more recreational activities offered to students; such as skiing and snowboarding, kayaking trips, paintASI, SEE page 2
To avoid registration holds,
new CSUSM students born after
Jan. 1,1957 have one semester to
demonstrate proof of immunization for Measles and Rubella.
The student should submit
medical documentation proving immunization. Documentation can include a physician's
verification of immunizations
records or a copy of a laboratory blood test proving immunity to Measles and Rubella.
Immunization must have taken
place after Jan. 1, 1968 or after
the student's first birthday.
First time students who are 18
or younger on Aug. 1 of their
entering academic year must
also present proof of full immunization, against Hepatitis B.
For those who cannot provide proof of immunization
for Measles and Rubella and/
or Hepatitis B, an appointment can be made with Student
Health and Counseling Services
to receive the MMR vaccination free of charge. The vaccination for Hepatitis B, on the
other hand, involves a small fee.
Walk-in clinic dates for MMR
and Hepatitis B are Aug. 28
through Sept. 1, Monday
through Friday; Sept. 5 through
8, Tuesday through Friday;
Sept. 18 through 22, Monday
through Friday; Oct. 2 through
6, Monday through Friday; and
Oct. 16 through 20, Monday
through Friday. Times are 9 a.m.
to 11 a m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. for
all dates. An appointment may
also be made for an MMR titer
blood test to check immunity
levels for Measles and Rubella.
Students are advised to have
a student identification card
handy when visiting. Student
Health and Counseling Services also requests that childcare arrangements be made
prior to the student's visit. Fees
can be settled using cash, check,
ATM, Visa or Master card.

fic to direct off campus. On the
first day of school, Kyle spent
eight hours of his twelve hour
shift directing traffic. Campus
police officers will direct the
traffic in pairs of two until Kyle
said, "as long as traffic maintains a public safety issue." Traffic doesn't look like it will let up
any time soon, especially with
an increased amount of students
leaving campus during university
hour.
Our campus isn't equipped with
tunnels and bridges, and with the
volume of people driving out of
parking lot F each afternoon and
walking to their cars, Kyle says
he doesn't see an end to the officer directed crosswalk until new
technology is built. "If we had a
traffic light or a bridge, we'd get a
chance to reduce our staffing."
Currently we have ten CSOs
working on campus. The university police department hopes to
gain at least four more students.
Matt Curran and Evelyn Henriquez are two student CSOs who
were on patrol in their vehicle on
Friday afternoon. Curran, a CSO
supervisor, also works in the University Village Apartments. In
the past he has found a lost child
and has interfered when two
people attempted to break into a
car on campus.
He and.other CSOs are willing and ready anytime to escort
students on and around campus.
"Many people don't know about
it but we can escort them from
the main campus to the Ralph's
shopping center and Barham
Apartments."
Henriquez is a criminal justice
major who has just finished her
training. As student enrollment
increases, the CSOs increase their
squad by one officer each year.
Our university has an impeccable
safety record and a lot of credit
can be given to our student officers. Kyle says, "They play a crucial role in our policing."
CSO shifts are from eight in
the morning to midnight. After
midnight, campus police patrol
the campus. And without a
bridge, tunnel or stoplight, we'll
be seeing a lot of them on campus
during yet another transitional
time.
At the campus police dispatch
at 441 La Moree Road in San
Marcos, they are currently and
continually seeking students to
fill out applications for the Community Service Officer position.
A background check similar to
those that police officers undergo
is required.

anything else. He told me what to expect
from other professors and helped me to
create a bridge to them."
Joshua Walter Lovelace, a graduate student in math, was completely inspired by
Dr. Radhika Ramamurthi after taking her
Algebra Graph Theory course. Through
her energetic and passionate character,
Lovelace could see from the beginning that
she was concerned about student's learning. Even as a math major, Lovelace says,
"I went into it feeling as if it were impossible. She helped me believe in myself, that
I could do this."
Pamela Castillo, a literature major,
couldn't just choose one. "I've been fortunate enough to have several professors
that stand out, including Professor Price,
Professor Newman, and Dr. Yuan Yuan.
The faculty mentor program stands out
the most for me. Lisa Bandong has been
a wonderful friend and inspiration along
with my mentor, Dr. Salah Moukhlis."
Jesse Taylor, a computer science major,
has seen students give up while taking
introductory courses in computer programming. "Either the professor didn't
know how to teach or they just weren't
enthusiastic about it." Professor Ahmad
THE PRIDE
Hadaegh changed Taylor's outlook for
good. "Not only is he knowledgeable in
what he teaches, but he makes it fun and
interesting. And he's hilarious. He reassured me that programming is what I want
to do with my life."
Brittany Smith was doubtful whether
she was going to become an accounting
major until she had Dr. Mary Ceim for
financial and managerial accounting. Brittany says, "She was the most challenging
professor I've ever had and that motivated
me to meet that challenge." Smith spent
the summer working for Sempra Energy
through an internship and is happy about
her career choice.
With so many obstacles and doubts a
college student can face day to day, we are
fortunate to have a supporting staff to help
ease any worries or concerns, or even to
say "you can do this" without having to
say it at all.
Hector Navarrete, a criminal justice

with new soccer coach Ron Pulvers
BY FERNANDO BROWN
Pride Sports Writer
The Cal State SanMarcos
soccer teams have jumped out
to a great start after losing their
season openers. The men's team
is currently two and one while
the women's team is one and two
to begin their respective seasons.
Behind the early success of both
teams appears to be head coach
Ron Pulvers.
Leadership, organization, and administration skills
were instilled early in coach Pul-
and was assisted by freshman
Angela Matera.
The highlight for the men's
team thus far has been the signs of
cohesiveness and consistency.

win the division. From the NFC
North expect the Chicago Bears
to take the division for a second
straight year. The NFC South will
be won by the Carolina Panthers
and the NFC West will go to the
Seattle Seahawks. The two Wild
Card spots will be taken by the
Dallas Cowboys and the Arizona
Cardinals.
The thing everyone wants to
know is who will play in the super
bowl. Here's a match-up for you to
take to Vegas. The Dolphins and
Panthers will be playing in the big
game.
The Panthers are without a
doubt the favorite from the NFC.
The Jake Delhomme to Steve
Smith combination is amazing.
DeShaun Foster finally gets the
starting running back job. Even
if Foster isn't healthy throughout
the season they drafted exceptionally well by grabbing DeAngelo
Williams and have another great
backup in Nick Goings. They also
Eli Manning and the New York
Giants face Peyton Manning and
the Colts. I don't know if brothers have ever faced one another at
quarterback in the NFL, but this
should be interesting.
The Thanksgiving Day games
will actually be some good ones
for the first time in a long while.
The Kansas City Chiefs and
Denver Broncos play in one game,
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and
Dallas Cowboys play in another
and in the stinker of the three
the Miami Dolphins and Detroit
Lions play.
As far as playoff teams, the following are my picks. From the
AFC East the Dolphins will win
the division. In the AFC North
the Bengals will take it. The AFC
South will go to the Colts and the
AFC West will be won by the
Chiefs. The two AFC Wild Card

signed Keyshawn Johnson as a
great short field option. Not to
mention, Julius Peppers is a beast
on the defensive side.
The Dolphins is probably a pick
that will raise some eyebrows,
but hear me out on this one. The
Dolphins got Daunte Culpepper
in the off-season. They already
have a top deep threat wide
receiver in Chris Chambers. Culpepper can throw a great deep
ball as evidenced by his relationship with Randy Moss. They
also have a top running back in
Ronnie Brown to balance the
offense. The 'Fins won six in a
row to end last season to finish 97.1 expect that trend to continue
into this season. They also only
have six games against playoff
teams from last season.

Fire in the Skies
Over Southern California
By CHRIS MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
Last Thursday around 7:30
p.m., Vandenberg Air Force
Base, located just north of Santa
Barbara, was running a routine
ICBM (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile) test.
The missile sent was an
unmanned Minute Man III, and
its destination was the Marshal
Islands, thousands of miles away
in the central Pacific Ocean.
Weather experts say that the
time of the launch and the clear
weather conditions, played a significant role in creating the "twi-
light affect" that many people
saw that night. As the missile
climbed to enormous altitudes,
the vapor trail left behind the
missile froze. Consequently, the
rays coming from the still setting sun caught the frozen vapor
particles, sending off a reddishwhite hue.
Matty, from the Matty Show
on 91X radio said that the United
States Air Force (USAF) does
inform the media about missile
launches that are supposed to
occur in the area. However, he
stated that the releases regarding the launches are very vague.
Apparently the USAF told 91X
that there would be a launch
sometime in September between
1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Not only
is this a very broad window for
a scheduled test, but it was also
late, albeit only by a half an
hour.
Many students leaving Academic Hall noticed the event,
and there was a strange mixture
of emotions in the air. It was a
combination of apprehension,
awe, and amazement. Only after
they realized that there was no
apparent danger did it become
apparent that the event was
merely both an awesome and
powerful spectacle.

Tough Time with Skate Parks in San Marcos
By STEVEN ZAMORA
Pride Staff Writer
There are no skate parks in
San Marcos, leaving the entire
population of extreme sports
participants, including skateboarders, inline skaters, and
bikers, with no legal place to
practice their sport.
"There are no future plans
for a skate park in San Marcos,"
explained Mayor of San Marcos
F.H. "Corky" Snitb. However,
Smith alluded to a new public
park being built off of the 78freeway exit at Nordahl Road
that should be complete by Janu-
ary 2003.
At the new San Marcos park,
there would be an assigned area
(approximately half the size of a
basketball court) for local children and teenagers to ride their
equipment. In this area, there
would be no ramps, rails, or
ledges to ride or grind on - that
leavesflatground. This new park
will not be a skate park because
it will lack ramps, rails, and
ledges, thus leaving public property as one of the few options
for extreme sports participants
to use.
substantial amount of vandalism on our property. Such an
example of vandalism is displayed in this photograph of a
ledge at CSUSM. The marks
on the ledge can be from bikers,
inline skaters, or skate boarders.
However, the fact remains that
public property is being damaged, which is a common complaint that Bill Schramm, from
the city of San Marcos Community Service department, is
hearing from the San Marcos
community.
Schramm asserted that in the
future of San Marcos, as many
At CSUSM, there has been a as 24 new parks could be built,
that may or may not include
skate parks. He also said that
construction of a skate park
would not be worth the hassle,
because local children and
teens would still practice their
sports on public property, even
if skate parks were built.
However, Robert Levienos
of San Marcos, who is a professional inline skater, feels that a
new skate park in San Marcos
would encourage him and other
extreme sports participants to
refrain from practicing on public
property, because they would
have a place to legally skate.
If there are no plans, there

B y AMBER ROSSLAND
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM is well known for its
cultural diversity, both in education and in population, and it is
this unique quality that enhances
the campus' cultural experience.
Professors like Deborah Small,
Sonia Ruiz, and David Avalos
eagerly devote their time and
efforts to educating students
about different cultures, and in
a sense, opening up the world
to them. This university offers
many such opportunities to
explore the wide varieties of
people on the planet without
even leaving the campus.
tures (VPA 311) introduces
students to a variety of cultures
from around the world through
various art forms, such as film,
music, dance, and writing. This
unique course utilizes the talents
of several instructors, with Small
acting as the "cheerleader for her
colleagues," as she put it.
With a new instructor every
week, this course is more like a
fun day at the cultural arts center
rather than a required course.

best ways to research papers
along with the biggest challenges
students encounter trying to get
these papers done.
Muelemans responded, "Students don't give themselves

little nitty-gritty things take time
and can cause a lot of problems.

�El cónsul general de Mexico visita clase de negocios
Por SOLEDAD ACUNA
Redactara de The Pride
El viernes 20 de septiembre
de las 11:00 a.m. hasta las 12:
50 p.m., el Cónsul General de
México en San Diego Rodulfo
Figueroa, visitó la clase SSM
482D (Manejo del sector de
servicio) "Dentro de la silla del
ejecutivo" enseñada por el Dr.
Tray Nielson y David Dennett.
El motivo de su visita a la clase
fue para hablar de sus experiencias, retos y éxitos obtenidos a lo
largo de su carrera como persona
de negocios al contestar las preguntas del público asistente en
ACD 102. Para Carrie Maxwell,
estudiante de SSM 482D, esta
clase es básicamente para ayudar
a los estudiantes con licenciatura
en negocios a tener más conocimiento en esa área.
Figueroa obtuvo su maestría
en Negocios en Ucrania. Él
trabajó como contador privado
y como contadorfiscalen el
gobierno de México. Además,
Figueroa en su trabajo como
cónsul ha vivido en cuatro países
diferentes incluyendo los Estados Unidos.
El miedo, para Figueroa, es
el peor enemigo de cualquier
persona. El cual, de acuerdo con
él, se debe reconocer que existe,
pero al mismo tiempo manejarlo y superarlo. Esto cambiará
la vida de las personas que lo
hagan.
mayor reto en su vida ha sido
entender lo que pasaba alrededor de él y lo que pasaba en el
mundo en la época de los 70s
cuando la vida fácil que conocía
cambio de repente.
Figueroa expresó que su
mayor error sería mezclar las
emociones con la razón. También dijo a los estudiantes que
para evitar los errores y tener
éxito en la vida personal y profesional se necesita tener humildad
para reconocer que se cometió
un error y estar en contra de la
codicia.
A Figueroa se le pidió un consejo por el público asistente para
balancear la vida personal con
la profesional. Él contestó que
él era una persona egoísta y que
si tenía que trabajar en domingo
lo hacía pero que le gustaba
respetar su vida privada y que si
lo invitaban a jugar golf, se iba.
De acuerdo con Figueroa, el
También dijo que siempre trataba de combinar su vida privada
con su trabajo, siempre buscando
la manera de estar cerca de su
familia.
Otro de los consejos dados por
Figueroa fue que las personas
deben de ser ellos mismos y
escuchar pero no creer todo lo
que escuchen. Él añadió que hay
una razón para todo, e invitó al
público a cuestionarse y a abrirse
a los demás.

Por MARTHA SARABIA
Editora Principal
debido

machistas y culturales, al
igual que a la impunidad de la
justicia mexicana que considera
a la mujer como ciudadana
de segunda clase. N o es que
crea que la sentencia contra la
nigeriana es injusta, porque lo
considero totalmente injusto y
creó que el veredicto debe de

entenderán a lo que me refiero
con la situación de las mujeres
en México y en la cual Fox se
necesita enfocar en lugar de
criticar a otras naciones.
Hace dos años que México
espera un gran cambio social,
político y económico con la
nueva presidencia del Panista
Vicente Fox. Sin embargo, este
cambio parece no estar tomando
lugar o va a un paso lentísimo
incapaz de ser visto ni con el
mayor lente magnificado. La
corrupción, la pobreza, y la
falta de empleo al igual que
la violación a los derechos
humanos siguen presentes en la
sociedad mexicana. N o obstante,
el presidente Fox hace alarde de

todo en contra de las mujeres Muchas de estas mujeres
asesinadas y
desaparecidas
trabajaban en maquiladoras,
usualmente de noche, para poder
ganar un sueldo y darles de
comer a sus familias. Tristemente
para muchas de ellas, debido a la
falta de empleo en el país, esta
era su única opción de trabajo.
Esto me hace recordar otro punto
por el que Fox todavía no ha
cumplido, y eso que ya ha tenido
dos años en la presidencia. Me
refiero a la pobreza que se ha
incrementado en los últimos dos
años debido a la falta de empleo
y salarios justos; pero no puedo
profundizar en esta ocasión
debido a la complejidad del caso.
Sobre las promesas de Fox, como
decimos en México solo me resta
decir que "de lengua me como
un taco."
e internacional, no hay más de 30
muertes resueltas. Además, de
los pocos sospechosos detenidos
de cometer estos asesinatos, hay
grandes dudas sobre la verdad de
su culpabilidad ya que muchos
los consideran chivos expiatorios
que el gobierno ha usado para
aparentar resolver los casos
cuando en realidad esto no es
cierto.
En lugar de estar perdiendo el
tiempo pidiéndole al presidente
Bush por una amnistía para
que más mexicanos puedan
venir a trabajar a EE.UU., Fox
debería de atender mejor la
situación interna y caótica de
México. Debería de establecer
un mejor gobierno con una
justicia verdadera al igual que
abrir más fuentes de trabajo para
evitar que sus conciudadanos
tengan que abandonar su país y
en la mayoría de las ocasiones
a sus familias. Entiendo que un
presidente no puede cambiar
décadas de corrupción y
malfunción social, política y
económica; pero, el esfuerzo
que un presidente haga durante
su gobierno, definitivamente
ayudará mucho a mejorar la
situación en el futuro.
Hace alrededor de dos meses,
las familias de todas estas
mujeres asesinadas y perdidas,
pidieron justicia para encontrar a
los culpables de tantas muertes, y
ayuda para encontrar a aquellas
todavía
desaparecidas.
Sin
embargo, esto pareció no haber
sido escuchado por la justicia
mexicana y mucho menos por
Fox ya que todavía son muy pocos
los culpables o sospechosos
acusados de tantas muertes.
Mi mensaje para el presidente
D e acuerdo con cifras oficiales
publicadas por la prensa nacional Fox es que empiece por demandar
en México, antes que en ningún
otro país, las violaciones de
derechos humanos al igual que
los crímenes contra las mujeres,
que tristemente no sólo acento
o pasan en Chihuahua sino en
muchos otros estados mexicanos
y
que
sean
penalizados
duramente y justamente por la
ley. En lugar de exigir que otros
países hagan esto, ponga usted
el ejemplo para entonces poder
tener derecho y la desvergüenza
de exigirlo en otros países.
Como ciudadana mexicana
preocupada por la situación en
mi país y como ciudadana del
mundo, exijo que estas muertes
y desapariciones no queden
impunes y que los culpables
sean encontrados y llevados
a la justicia verdadera, que
también se necesita establecer en
México. Si ni siquiera usted hace
respetar los derechos civiles de
las mujeres en su propio país,
¿qué cara tiene para exigir que
otros lo hagan? Ponga un buen
ejemplo ante sus colegas en lugar
de exigir algo que ni siquiera
usted hace por las personas de
su país. N o se olvide que el buen
presidente por su país empieza.

�Marilyn Manson Paints In Watercolor
D»,y Drcx /nxTn d ARCA
B n ESMOND B a d p a
Pride Design Editor
Marilyn Manson came to Hollywood last weekend to exhibit
for the first time over 50 of his
watercolor paintings. The event
was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibition on Hollywood Boulevard, and drew art
collectors as well as thousands
of fans each waiting up to five
hours to meet Manson, engage
in some light chitchat, and
shake Manson's hand. The event
entitled "The Golden Age of the
Grotesque", which by the way is
the title of Manson's new album
in progress, ran from Thursday
to Saturday. I arrived on Friday
at 10 p.m., by then nearly half the
painting were marked sold. The
paintings ranged from $1,000 to
$50,000. Over all it was quite an
event, with a parade of humanity
ranging from Manson and his
beautiful entourage all decked
out in immaculate wardrobe
and make up, to art collectors to
Goth rockers, punks, to regular
Joes. On Thursday, actors Sean
Penn and Jason Lee attended the
exclusive engagement.
Manson's paintings were reminiscent of 19th centuries German
expressionism, many of which
were similar to stylistically to the
work of Egon Shiele. Among the
self portraits
and portraits
of celebrities
including his
significant
other Dita Von
Tooco were subjects tVint were
enKi^tc that wwp
Teese,
clearly intended as social satire.
The satirical paintings included
a hermaphrodite nude of Hitler,
a version of Superman entitled
Ubermensch and a self-portrait
in which Manson depicts himself
as a creepy version of Mickey
Mouse.
Thought the event was free, in
order to meet Manson and get an
autograph, fans had to purchase
one of Manson's limited editions,
lithographs or posters, the cheapest ones starting at $20 apiece.
One of Manson's fans, Julia
Velasco of Pomona, complained
that she had to spend $160 in
order for everyone in her party
to meet Manson. Though some
of the attendees were irritated
by the commercialism associated with the event, most seemed
appreciative. Outside, I talked to
Lexa Vonn, of the rock group
Ophelia Rising. Vonn was handing out CDs to promote her band
and commended Manson for his
loyalty to his fans. Concerning Manson's paintings, Vonn
Pointed out that they look much
better in person than on the web.
Another fan I talked to, Naokol
Matsumoto, told me that she
came to the U.S. two years ago
to learn English for the express
purpose of communicating with
Marilyn Manson.

www.marilynmanson.com/
For those of you who are to Hollywood last weekend, at
. Manson keeps
interested in seeing Manson's most of them can be viewed grotesque/
and updated Journal on his
website. In his online journal
Manson had this to say about
his exhibition: "I paint scabs.
Cover wounds, encased in scars.
Paintings are seldom guilty and
often framed for crimes they
did not commit. Imprisoned
in jails that are owned by the
Bourgeois who treat them like
criminals...Kunsts!
Talking
about them and not to them."
And in reference to his upcoming album under the same name
Manson says, "the understanding of my art is only the sad
product of journalism. Fuck
art. I am art." Currently there
are not show dates available for
Manson's upcoming tour
On his influences, Manson
had this to say, "My inspiration
for this record came from historic parallels to my own present
position in popular culture. Most
notably, I found myself fascinated with the overwhelming
imaginative, sexually-depraved
artistic chaos that just bled from
some of history's greatest minds
as Berlin reached its creative
extreme peak. The unfortunate
onset of rigid control and conformity that brought Berlin to
its fiery end seemed to almost
mirror today's less violent, but
equally ignorant censorship and
Manson is much more than just
a shock rocker, as he is so often
referred to as in the media. I've
read his autobiography, listened
to his albums, seen his music
videos, listened to interviews,
and now I've seen his paintings. Listening to Manson talk,
it is evident that he is extremely
intelligent and articulate. Given
the range of his artist: interests
and ability, the fact that he has
had such a widespread influence
on pop culture as well as rallied
himself into a lucrative industry,
isn't very surprising. The term
Shock Rocker, doesn't describe
him as well as "artist". Regardless of personal taste, Manson's
art challenges anyone willing to
put their biases away and take
art for what it is worth; an intellectual stimulus that forces us to
think and open our minds. People
who don't understand Manson,
or think his art is gratuitous or
only done for shock value, are
people who have judged him
prematurely; people clearly have
the right to dismiss art without
bothering to investigate, or make
an informed judgment, but in my
opinion passing judgment in this
way is irresponsible and relates
back to what Manson is rebelling
against in thefirstplace. Anyone
who has the time to examine
contemporary art in depth will at
the very least respect Manson's
accomplishments as well as his
courage and determination under
heavy criticism, even if they
don't care for his art or music.

First off, this is a piece of those of
you who scoffed at the two previous articles concerting Halo for

and individuals play games on
the Playstation, Gamecube, and

only a small vein when it comes
to tapping into the resource of

Console games are desired and

is, and will be light years ahead

is concerned. So as not to bore

"Why at this point, at this
historical moment in time, do we
have a class called Multiethnic
American Literature?" - Ken
Mendoza, a LTWR professor
hereatCSUSM.
As a Literature and Writing
major at California State University San Marcos, I have been
forced to take many classes that
in one way or another involve
ethnic studies and cultural
diversity. Oftentimes, while I
am sitting in these classes, I find
myself wondering why the university has chosen to teach this
school of thought in a way that
points fingers at cultural differences. After the class lecture is
over, I never feel more connected
to someone else of the selected
ethnic background of the day, but
instead I feel further removed.
Take for example a class
like LTWR 450, Multiethnic
American Literature. The course
outline for this class says that it
is a class that offers a "Comparison of various ethnic American
discourses such as African
American, Jewish American,
Latino American, [and] Japanese
American." To title this course
Multiethnic American Literature
is a slap in the face to all of the
wonderful writers incorporated
into the syllabus.
Why not title this course
simply American Literature?
Why must the university tag
this course as Multiethnic? Are
they saying that all of the authors
that we read in United States Literature 309A and 309B have the
same ethnic background and that
that those backgrounds are not
ethnic? The fact that they must
separate this course, and tag it as
multiethnic, shows the real lack
of progress in cultural diversity
at this university.
I grew up in New York, where
nobody ever spoke of cultural
diversity. It was common to have
neighbors of different ethnic
backgrounds, but the idea was
that they were your neighbors.
Not your Jewish neighbors, or
your Latino neighbors, or your
African American Neighbors,
but simply the neighbors nextdoor. The fact that they may
have come a hundred years ago
from some other country did
not matter and was never talked
about.
K. Anthony Appiah, a professor at Harvard University, said in
one of his lectures that "American cultural distinctions cannot
be understood in terms of the
concept of race: the only race in
thé United States, is the human
race." He goes on to say "there
is danger in making racial identities too central to our conceptions of ourselves; while there is
a place for racial identities in a
world that is shaped by racism,
I shall argue, if we are to move
beyond racism we shall have
to move beyond current racial
identities."
Liberal
It is your lucky day. You may be
asking yourself, "Why, Matt?"
Well it is because today you are
going to hear the other side of
the story. Last week's commentary "Comedy Hour on NPR"
by Erik Roper contained much
comedic value.

Bush is our "illegally appointed
president." That's funny because

and France pay 5 - 8 %. Right
now you may be saying "Wow
Matt that is amazing." And
you're darnrightit is.
A 1996 GAO report stated
that we spent $6.6 billion on
peacekeeping operations since
1992 and yet we have only been
accredited with $1.8 billion of
that money. So under the United
Nations Erroneous Dept. Act,
we stopped paying dues until
our overpayments have been
credited or reimbursed.

than 1%. Russia, Great Britain, conservative but because we
are paying with our taxes and
with our people (military) for a
world authority. Call me a crazy
member of the right wing conspiracy, but a world under the
control of a global government
scares me and the freedom that
has been preserved by my dad,
grandpa, and forefathers is at
risk. It is like "Ripley's Believe
It Or Not," but the U N has
already created a world court
and has been given American
soil by our previous president.
So, next time you watch liberals on TV remember this - they
think, "you are ignorant and
possibly even stupid" because
you listen to one side of the story
and believe it.
Matt Cotton
CAUSC Student
If CSUSM wants to celebrate
diversity, they should do so by
incorporation not by isolation.
There is no reason to have a class
called Multiethnic American Literature. These texts, if they are
worthy of being studied, should
be incorporated into the United
States Literature course because
they are an equal part of American Literature and not a separate
part. The University's program
right now is at the same place
the Civil Rights movement was
forty years ago when the thought
was separate but equal. We have
come to know that separate is
never equal, why hasn't the universityfiguredthat out?

I have been a student at
CSUSM my entire 4-year college
career and have eagerly enjoyed
the campus, the students and
even some of the faculty. However, this semester my view is
being drastically changed and
it is being altered in the form
of an overflow of cramped and
ridiculous parking! Basically as I
read the article from last week's
Pride, I gathered the truth of the
ugliness of our parking. There
is only 2,000 parking spaces on
campus and yet the school has

However, the numbers don't lie
and class sizes are not dropping
as much as they are increasing, which is another article all
together! That fact is that after
September 26, 2002, curb parking will no longer be allowed,
as well as stack parking to soon
follow. Though I understand the
red curb's disallowance due to
fire hazard (though overlooked in
the past 3 weeks), the unmarked

only meaningful to those giving
them and those receiving the

school cannot justly give tickets
to everyone unless they decide to
give us all refunds on the permits

Could it be possible that inconveniently scheduled class times
are what lie at the root of the
current traffic problem? Most
students have little choice as to
what classes they need to take;
they must complete the courses
required for their major in order
to graduate. With this in mind,
you would think that the university would schedule similarly
required classes close together
during the day so that students
could easily end one class and
begin another and then be done

Dear Editors:
I found your recent edition
in extremely poor taste and
appallingly insensitive to the
family and friends of Alex
Zingaro. Why in the world
would you place Mucky Mouse
in Suicide in this issue? It lacks
humor, subtlety, or thoughtful
commentary, as well as informed
spelling and punctuation-so
what's the point? This is no
mouse, it's a sewer rat.
Actually, why would you want
such tasteless inanity in our
college publication at all? I
sincerely hope neither the
community nor the Zingaro
family sees this issue; do the
right thing and pull itfromthe

Pam Horner
L ETTERS
This letter is in response to the
letter sent by Pam Horner. I
have had classes with Pam and
have always admired her intellect and contributions to class
discussions. Her letter to the
editor was both justified and
well composed.
As the creator of Mucky Mouse
I would like to respond to Pam's
letter in this way: I would not
have submitted Mucky Mouse
to the Pride last week if I had
learned about the Zingaro death
earlier. The comic was not a
response to his death, and was
drawn prior to his disappearance. Mucky Mouse in Suicide
preceded the news of Alex's
death and was left in the paper
accidentally. I myself did not
imagine a connection between
ing college. Is this really necessary? Should the greater student
population cater to the needs of a
select few? And to those people
who must waste their entire days
sitting around campus awaiting
their next class, which may be up
to nine hours later, is it fair that
you must wait just so you have a
guaranteed parking space?
believe it is the lack of spaces as
much as it is poor class scheduling. If classes were scheduled in
blocks, every few hours a ton
of spaces would open up for the
next block of students to go to
class. Maybe the real problem
is being overlooked; maybe the
real problem has to do with poor
scheduling.

�CSUSM Professor Runs For Congress
By TOR FREED
Pride Staff Writer
Walking into campaign headquarters for congressional candidate and CSUSM professor, Mike
Byron, is like seeing a small slice
of America. Normally, it fronts
as a small computer store, run
by former Lieutenant Governor
candidate, Ron J. Like. It sits on
Coast Highway in Oceanside,
surrounded by many other 'Ma
and Pa' businesses. Walking
inside, the diversity is almost
as great as the different stores
that make up this neighborhood.
Like's software is available on
the only aisle and is flanked by
other computers in various stages
of use. The far wall contains
several paintings and if visitors
look close, they will recognize a
Rembrandt and a Monet but not
the kind that will bring millions,
but copies that have been painted
by Like. The store has that 'lived

quirky room, two men, Like and

CSUSM Professor, Dr Mike Byron

When
asked
what were some of the things that
could be done tofightthe war on
terror and how to stop terrorism
from spreading, Byron offered a
profound quote. "Happy people
don't make history, we need to be
fostering conditions for meaningful, fair international trade. We
can be setting the conditions for
democracy but we can't impose
it, we can only provide the model
for opportunity. People in the
Middle East are stuck, give them
the opportunity." Given the fact
that in the Middle East, 65 percent of the population is between
15 and 25 with almost no job
prospects, this recipe is more
fitting than sending in random
troops. Many of these people
are college educated yet work as
street vendors because there's no
employment.
With regards to foreign policy,
Taiwan became another topic of
discussion. The current administration in Taiwan is dedicated
to keeping it independent from
China and is even conducting a
secret deal for eight new 'Dolphin' class submarines. Byron
responded that since president
Truman went to China in 1971
and signed the Taiwan Relations
Act, every president since him
has been committed to the act,
which guarantees one China and
the peaceful return of Taiwan.
Byron said that we should stay
committed to that. "What we
should be doing is facilitating the
foundations of modernity and
democracy with the Chinese,
we do that, the problem fades,"
he said.
Byron also added that the
number one issue with regards
to domestic policies was the
political system. "The political
system, it should be one person,
one vote, now it's one dollar,
one vote," he said. He pointed
out that in the '96 elections had
the most money spent and the
most votes recorded. He quoted
P.J. O'Rourke and his reference that we have turned into a
'Parliament of Whores' because
we pay so much attention to
special interest groups. Byron
has one other huge supporter of
his opinion of these groups and
that is Republican Senator John
McCain, who ironically belongs
to his opposition party.
According to Byron, we need
a constitutional amendment like
we had back in the 1800's, when
Mark Twain called it a 'Gilded
Age,' to stop the special interest
groups from retaining so much
hold over us. Part of that would
include public control over
campaign money. This means
The event that made Byron
decide to run for Congress
was after listening to senator
McCain speak in addition to
talking to documentary filmmaker, Michael Moore. Moore
quoted Margaret Mead as
saying, "If you want something
to happen, you have to get up and
do it yourself." It struck a chord
with Byron and he went home
and talked with his wife and the
rest is making history. He also
added, "Stay away from special
interest money, be committed!"
as his own advice to keep himself honest.
Byron needs roughly 36,000
votes to win. Furthermore, his
name will not appear anywhere
in the ballot; he is a write-in
candidate because the democrats
did not get a candidate in the primary. He is running for the 49th
district and his opponent is the
republican Dan Issa.
Byron also said, "This is your
chance to make a difference,
together we can make history."

standpoint in many issues, visit

marked a historic event for
CSUSM—the first annual Cougar
Chase. Because of our new track,
the university could host an event
such as the Cougar Chase, a fivekilometer course to either walk
or run.
Mazario Romaro, a San
Marcos resident, won the 5K
race. His running time was
14:55. When asked about the
race he said, "It was a fun course
and I loved the race." He said that
he could have run a longer race in
San Diego, but he chose to support CSUSM. Romaro trained
for the Cougar Chase by running
fifty tofifty-fivemiles per week.

PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride
�Dear Editors:
Thank you for printing Ramon
Nava s letter. It is very important
to have this discussion about the
Tukwut. Our campus needs to
seriously question whether or not
it is performing an act of cultural
insensitivity.
?
If there is no guilt on the part
of our university, fine. Then only
an explanation is owed to the students about why we were kept in
the dark about the mascot's previous name.
However, if our university is
found guilty of cultural insensitivity, then we need to know who
wanted the change in mascot,
why they wanted it, and how
they went about their agenda for
change. Most importantly, we
need to know why the wonderful,
culturally relevant story behind
the Tukwut was kept a secret
from the students both before
and during the election.
Maybe it is the case that whoever wanted the mascot changed
simply was not aware of the
Tukwut's significance. Wouldn't
they then be innocent? No, just
guilty of something else—not' taking our student elections seriousi.
y
If someone puts an issue on
the ballot without carefully
investigating its meaning and
history, then s/he is sloppy or
crafty. Either way, the person is
assuming that the students aren't
critical enough to eventually
realize what has been done.
Either way, they are assuming
that students will not hold them
accountable. Either way, they
are assuming that students will
not demand an explanation.
Hmmm. . .our university's elections are sounding more and
more like our state elections!
Remember Prop. 209?
There have been stories that
the Tukwut (pronounced 'tookwoot) is indeed too difficult to
pronounce. I don't buy that. I
don't think pronouncing Tukwut
is any bit as difficult as, say, getting across that bridge on Twin
Oaks Valley Road. Orfindinga
parking space here. Or being
able to quickly get all the
resources we need from our huge
library's collection. No, I don't
think that Tukwut is too difficult
for CSUSM students to pronounce. Anyone who believes
that it is too difficult for us is
greatly underestimating our abilities. Another rumor I have heard
floating around is that we had to
change our mascot, for marketability. After all, we have a
growing sports program to consider now, and it just won't do to
have Tukwut as our mascot. We
must change it to something
more marketable. That way we
can sell more shirts and cups and
then be: why does our mascot
have to be an American/English

Dear Editors:
From the car to class to the car, CSUSM's dilemma: WHERE is the campus community?
Dear Editors:
This university has become
known for its use of groups, such
as the Senior Experience program, to educate and expand the
minds and views of its students.
Additionally, the university also
promotes diversity and acceptance regardless of race, gender,
or religion by allowing the presence of the many different clubs
on campus. With the passing of
the fee referendum, the InterClub Council will have a
I am delighted to see that you
are speaking out about the torture
that occurs at CSUSM. I have
been a student enough years to
truly experience the meaning
behind CSUS&M. I have found it
very frustrating dealing with the
poorly planned and managed systems, such as admissions and
parking, that plague students
every day.
It has come to the point that I
will ask different people, who
work for CSUS&M, the same
question to attempt to get to the
truth. Usually the third time
around proves to be somewhat
correct. It is also a shame that the
administration at Cal State San
Marcos does not fully appreciate
and utilize the talented staff that
work for them. There are some of
the brightest and innovative people working for them, who could
easily improve things, and yet
they are not used.
I think it is time that the
administration realizes that what
students encounter on a daily
basis is ****. Without a good
interface with the student, there
might as well be no University at
all.
Keep up the good work. Keep
telling the truth.
Matt Thomas
Dear Editors:
The administration of this school ponders this very question as you read this article. Why is it that
there is no "community" feel to this campus? The same reasons why a student can sit in a class with another student for three semesters and never know their name. We are a microwave generation not willing to learn
or explore inner insights if it isn't warmed and consumed within fifteen minutes. What ever happened to
achieving higher education for self-betterment? We moan and complain about diversity being pushed, about
the writing requirements, about the students, about the smart system, about the parking, and the not-so-predictable Dome food. Too lazy to meet someone new, but plenty of zeal to cry and whimper about how the
professor was not clear. To say this lightly, we the students could care less about the school or about each
other. We respond to this dilemma with a smug, "it is a commuter school." We the commuters are through
with any personal growth or sharing of our lives with people. We are older and wiser, so our redneckism is
too late in its diagnosis to heal. We want our degrees and our money so we can get the respect and the brand
new bigger than ever "Expedition." Leave the people-loving, tree-hugging, open-minded liberals up North in
the Bay area where they belong. The only thing diverse we want is our wardrobe from "Nordstroms."
JJPatmon
Dear Editors,
My name is La Brace Eaton II and I am the manager of
Cougar's Corner Convenience on the CSUSM campus. I am
writing to you in regards to your distasteful cartoon that ran
in the September 20th copy of your newspaper. The newspaper is referred to as the "Pride," yet showed no pride whatsoever in CSUSM by running that disrespectful comic. I am
unsure what the point was of running such a cartoon in the
school newspaper. The cartoon in essence may have been
funny to some people, but is it really the message you want
to send to students, facultypand community at CSUSM?
Being funny doesn't make it right. I hope that in the future
you at the Pride show a little bit more pride and respect for
your school and not print such filth.
Respectfully Yours,

"Cheering is not about wearing

"If you come to my practice,
expect to work hard. It's going to
be very, very physical."
Coach Groom, a three-time
Collegiate National Champion in
multiple divisions, brings ten
years of cheering experience. He
has been a member of two of the
three "power-house" schools in
Collegiate Cheering: Morehead
State University and University
of Louisville in Kentucky. Groom
has also coached high school
cheer squads to National
Championship titles.
Groom's interest in cheering
began after a shoulder injury temporarily sidelined his football
career. In college he realized he
wasn't big enough to play college
football and found his athleticism
challenged through cheering.
"Some of the best guys [on the
squads] comefroma football program," said Groom, emphasizing
that cheering is not a girl-only
sport. "Ideally we'd like to have at
least 10 guys on the squad." Only
three males attended the meeting.

Dear Psyche Fairy,
How does one best express
intimacy with someone else?
Words fail me, seeming contrived. Affection such as holding, kissing, or making love is
only the beginning of the depths
of what I know to be inside me
for the object of my thoughts.
The feelings, longings,
desires, need, respect, admiration, devotion and want for the
person I hold dear would make
them, for lack of a better term,
happier about themselves.
To realize, for better or worse,
someone cared and wished only
the best, yet these declarations
may be overwhelming by the
sheer intensity and appear trivialized to what is in my heart. I
believe we all withhold our true
selvesfromone another on many
levels in many ways, but would
hope somewhere, somehow to
make the connection - and make
it in a positive, meaningful, and
profound way. Give me a way, a
method, the words, for I am at a
loss and my beloved deserves
true kinship. Sign me,
"Sincerely Sincere"
Dear Sincerely Poetic,
I was greatly entranced by
your message, as I feel akin to
this experience of longing. I
doubt anyone can satisfactorily
answer your question, so I will be
bound to provide only my opinions. First, I don't think that there
qEfte ffirtbe
Arts & Entertainment
is one sole best way to express
intimacy. Not only do people
find intimacy in different experiences, but also at different times,
intimacy can be appreciated in
different ways. This is what I like
to refer to as the emotional-cognitive dance between humans.
Finding that experience whereby
both (or more) can be absorbed in
the feeling of intimacy is quite
special and not easy to discover.
For instance, your loved one may
not be "in the mood" for intimacy in any form. Remember, I am
not talking about mere physical
affection and sex here. Even
words may fall on deaf ears
sometimes. Hie ultimate act of
intimacy is to understand the
other in their place at that
moment. Just knowing that the
other is not open to that intimacy
at that time is an act of intimacy
on your part.
Words are contrived, but what
isn't? Words are symbolic and
since our minds are representational, words can be a great
means to achieving an end. Even
when sex is used as a form of intimacy it is dependent upon the
people to see it as such. We are
frequently mistaken to assume
that physical affection is the pinnacle of intimacy. For a porn star,
sex is a job; for a writer, words
can be just work; for a psychologist listening is a career; for a
chef, cooking is a profession. It is
the intention behind these behaviors which makes them intimate.
Here again, you must think of the
other: does the person resemble
the adorer of Cyrano or Annie
Sprinkle. Some people are more
affected by words than others
and you need to know this to
know if words will be effective.
Actions can also be powerfully
intimate. I have had friends do
little things/favors for me (from
their own volition) which I found
incredibly intimate, especially
when the favor arrives at just the
right moment. These actions can
be deeply intimate. Find out
these things and perhaps you can
express your intimacy in that
way. If the other is open and
experimental enough, you may
approach the situation as a regular negotiation. Approach the
person saying you'd like to experience this intimacy and see if
you can both devise a way to put
each other "in the mood." This
may likewise be contrived, but it
might just work!
You might be thinking that
some of these "methods" seem
too one-sided and self-contained. Well, unfortunately, that
will be mostly true. You see, I
understand your desire to commune with someone in such a
way that your experiences meld
into one. As if you were the
same, sharing perspectives,
thoughts, and emotions. Oh how
I wish this could be true! Sadly,
our ability to imagine beyond our
capacities often leads us to feeling empty andfrustrated.If this
is the connection that you wish
for, I can say it will exist mostly
in your imagination. Our
thoughts are usually fragmented

Quirky character study meets Disney magic in Touchstone
Pictures' Mumford. A quirky story line, wonderful cameo performances, and surprising movie-within-a-movie camera work
saves Mumford from the sugary bog of boy-meets-girl
Hollywood movies. For the cynical, I've-seen-'em-all moviegoer, who still has a sneaking love for feel-good movies and happy
endings, Mumford works.
The movie works best when it appeals to the voyeur in all of
us. Dr. Mumford (Loren Dean) is a psychologist. His patients
troop in and out of his office, always more than willing to tell him
the intimate details of their secret lives. As Dr. Mumford gets to
know his patients, so does the viewer, From the sleazy small time
lawyer (Martin Short), to the how-did-I-get-so-rich-and-famous
modem mogul (David Paymer), the characters reveal themselves
with both hilarious and touching results. Part of the fun is the
viewer's (and Dr. Mumford's) realization that keeping and telling
secrets is what being human is all about.
Hie cast gives remarkable performances across the board; not
one character rings untrue. Not surprisingly, Martin Short turns a
stock sleazy-lawyer character into a brilliantly funny cameo.
More surprising, perhaps, is the equally brilliant performance by
Ted Danson, who gives new meaning to the word "jerk" (replace
with any applicable synonym). Other good performances include
Alfre Woodard as the understanding neighbor with secret yearnings, and Mary McDonnell as the unfulfilled wife and mother.
The movie does have some shortcomings. One almost isn't a
shortcoming at all. The characters are so interesting, and the performances so good, that you are left wanting more. The other
problem is more serious. Mumford's charms include a distinctive
story line and out-of-the-ordinary film sequences. Both give way
to a conventional, Disney-style wrap up at the end. Nevertheless,
I recommend Mumford. Even cynics like me enjoy a good boymeets-girl movie now and then on Date Night.

Lettau Dazzles in Noontime Concert
June Hodges
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Jazz/Brazilian singer Kevyn Lettau wowed both followers
and newcomers alike with her unique range of vocal renditions
during a noon concert on the Dome patio area on Tuesday,
September 21,1999. Lettau was accompanied by Peter Sprague,
renowned writer, teacher, and recording guitarist, Bob
Magnusson on the bass, and Duncan Moore on the drums.
Raised in Germany by her single mother, Lettau left home at
the age of fifteen and set out to make her fortune. While supporting herself by cleaning houses, she discovered the singing
voice that would someday make her one of the most recognized
stylists in the jazz world. Her style comesfroman exposure to
the works of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, A1 Jarreau, Charlie
Parker, Donny Hathaway, and other great recording artists. She
assimilated the inventions of jazz improvisation into a vocal
approach that was pure, soulful, and uniquely her own.
After touring and recording with Sergio Merides for eight
years, Lettau incorporated Brazilian sounds into her contemporary pop singing and set out on her solo career. While she has
won critical acclaim for her records and albums in the United
States and abrpad, she has almost reached superstar status in
Japan and the Philippines. She says of her work, "Every record
is different, because I am always growing, expanding and
changing."
Kudos to CSUSM Arts and Activities, directed by Bonnie
Biggs, for providing such professional entertainment during

...Such is the advice of Mary

Computing Labs Coordinator.
Computing is an essential of
scholarship at this university,
though when a paper is due in 15
minutes, the computer cannot
read the disk, and the pay-forprint station won't work, it's easy
to feel like life itself hangs in the
balance. Being acquainted with
the computing labs may offset
this stress and save your grades.
According to Ms. Atkins, knowing what labs are available and
when labs are busy can give students a measure of computing
safety.
Often students visit the main
computer lab in ACD 202, see
that all of these computers are
taken, and walk away. They do

Applause for CSUSM's Faculty Mentoring Program
Joni Miller
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Have you ever had someone in
your life that you looked up to?
Someone who encouraged you
when you were feeling not your
best? Someone, who doesn't necessarily give you answers, but
heads you down the right road to
finding them? Someone who is
present when you need them, if
only to sit and chat, or do nothing
at all? Here at CSUSM I am fortunate to have such a person in my
life. Her name is Dr. Cynthia
Chavez Metoyer (Pronounced
MET-TOY-YAY, its French).
As part of the Faculty
Mentoring Program here at
CSUSM, Dr. Metoyer has been a
mentor to many students since

agreed and has been doing it ever

who are accepted into the program are assigned a mentor.
Throughout the school year the
relationship may take on many
different characteristics. Some
proteges only seek out their mentors for academic advisement,
some for counseling and support,
and still others develop friendships that continue well after

"Greek Life," what images come
to mind? Do you picture scenes
from "Animal House," like John

should be a little curious because

Here on campus the presence of
Greek organizations, academic
and social, are steadily growing
and attracting many students.
American students were the
creators of the first Greek-Letter
Fraternities. It all began when the
Declaration of Independence was
introduced to America in 1776.
Revolutionary ideas began to
spread like wildfire across
America and many college students wished to discuss revolutionary ideas. However, because
of British rule, such discussions
were prohibited. As a result, college students created the first fraternities in America where college students were able to discuss
revolutionary ideas in secrecy.
Some of the secrecy in the fraternities included secret handshakes, oaths, and Greek mottoes.
Centuries have passed, and now
the numbers of fraternities have
spread to more than sixty fraternities over sixty colleges in the U.S.
and Canada (Delta Sigma Phi
National Manual).
Of the 60 colleges in the U.S.
and Canada, CSUSM is one of the
campuses that have academic and
social Greek organizations. The
academic honor societies deal
with students who have excelled
in areas that deal with their
majors. For example, PSI CHI,

Another benefit that men find
when they join a fraternity is networking. "That's one of the things
that impresses people about joining a fraternity. Career connections," says Dean Manship, president of SAE. Dean has obtained
two jobs through networking in
the year-and-a-half that h^ has
been in SAE. Companies like
Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and UPS have
presidents and CEOs* who were

many of the present members can
benefit by acquiring well paying
jobs when they join fraternities.

.
It i$ no secret that there are
stereotypes surrounding fraternities and sororities. For example,
fraternity members may be
referred to as "party animals,"
"keggers," or have other labels.
However, is that really what fraternities are about? Sigma Alpha
Epsilon (SAE) and Tau Kappa
Epsilon (TKE) are two of the
social fraternities on campus that
promote brotherhood and philanthropy. It turns out that one of the
primary reasons men join SAE
and TKE on campus are for the
friendships. Many people enter
CSUSM not knowing anyone. So
SAE and TKE fraternity members take the initiative to recruit
incoming freshmen and other
men to join their fraternities. For
example, Charles Matanane, a
sophomore, has been a member of
SAE for two years and says,
"When I came here, I didn't know
much of anybody, now I've got 50
people that I know." Juan
"Buddha" Ibarra, also a sophomore, has been a member of TKE
for two years and recalls when the
TKEs introduced themselves to
him as a freshman: "TKEs
seemed excited about me, really
friendly, really outgoing, but they
also stressed a lot of brotherhood.
I saw what they did, I saw how
close they were to each other, and
I really liked that whole family
thing."

Perhaps the premature expectations I built before seeing this
film caused such deep disappointment. Lucie Aubrac turned
out to be everything you would be
looking for in a yuppie movie and
nothing that truly captures, for
me, the emotions of a time period.
Based on a true story, Lucie
Aubrac takes the viewer on a soap
opera history lesson of World War
II France. Fans of French film
might remember its writer/director Claude Berri who directed
such films as Germinal, Jean de
Florette, and Manon des Sources
(Manon of the Springs). With
Berri once again is Daniel Auteuil
('Raymond'), who had played
Ugolin in Jean de Florette and
Manon des Sources. But how can
a film based on one woman's
autobiographical account go so
wrong? The key lies at the beginning of the movie, before the
stunt show action begins. A message flashes that the following is
based on a true story but for the
purpose of dramatic effect, da, da,
da, certain liberties have been
taken, or something like that.
I call it a yuppie film because
it's a little bit more than a Date
Movie in that it contains noble
elements that both guys and
chicks would totally appreciate.
The violent action scenes are fantastic. Lucie Aubrac begins with a
spectacular explosion and ends
with a sappy romantic happy ending—whoops, sorry to kill the
ending for you, but it's as if Berri
hunted down something so formulaic. There's plenty of melodrama and prison beatings to go
around, to be sure, that would
entice any movie fan out th^re.
But jumping out of your seat and
racing to, the door for sprpe fresh

of the challenges she faced and
how she advises the students to
overcome the obstacles to college. "I'll tell them how important it is that everyone become
educated so we will be able to
stand up for our tribes. I want
them to know that they have support -— once they get beyond
high school, there are networks
of people who are willing to
help," she added.

and conflicted and this is just to
speak of the internal state of
affairs. To commune so deeply,
you'd have to bring all of this in
not one, but TWO brains, into harmony. This discussion then
becomes entirely philosophical
and I won't go there now.
So, you may come to those random moments when you are "in
synchrony" with the other, but that
is about as amazing as it gets. We
are limited, always. (Some people
go into trances/rituals or use drugs
to try to get beyond these limitations, however.) Don't despise
your limitations because there is
nothing you can really do about it.
You need to try to work with those
limits and find out how you can
best stimulate that synchrony of
thought and emotion between you
and your loved one. There isn't a
specific formula; it depends on the
person AND the time whether
intimacy will be found in actions,
conversations, or kisses. Finding
this will reside in understanding
the person. This lucky person for
whom you care so deeply must be
understood as (s)he is in that
moment. This will take great
awareness, compassion, and
openness. My sincerest hopes go
to you infindingthat intimacy and
enrichment that you dearly seek.

of a "Big Brother" for each mem- much as we can," says Dean. As
president of SAE, Dean also
says, "We need to look good on
campus, because right off the bat
a lot of people have negative
stereotypes about fraternities."
Many fraternities have been
viewed as negative institutions in
the past. News coverage of Scott
Krueger, the MIT freshman student who died last September
because of alcohol poisoning
when he rushed the Phi Gamma
Delta Fraternity, brought much
controversy. Even though SAE
and TKE say that hazing does not
occur in their fraternities, breaking down stereotypes of social
fraternity life is a problem. One
TKE brother admits that there
may be members who could work
on their maturity level and that
they could take on more responsibilities. However, the majority of
the brothers is mature and responsible and does believe in the
brotherhood and philanthropy
that theirfraternitiesstand for. "If
you go into any group of guys,
you're going to have a few you're
not going to like. But to knock
down the whole fraternity
because of one person just isn't
right," says Mike.
The fraternity members do
admit that they party,' they are
social organizations, but they also
say there is a lot more to their fraternities than just partying, like
the community work they do.
TKE brother, Mike, says that his
favorite TKE volunteer activity is
"I'm Going To College," an event
that takes place every semester
with ASI. In this event fourthgraders from schools all across
San Diego County have the
chance to visit the University
campus. Last year the kids played
with the computers, sat in police
cars, sang songs with TKE brothers, and engaged in many other
activities. The whole goal is for
these children to catch a glimpse
into college life, in hopes that
they will take the initiative and go
to college when they are older.
The TKEs also helped out with
Special Olympics and the "Child
Trot." SAE has also done its
share of community service, like
tutoring at a charter school in
Oceanside, canned-food drives
for the holidays, holding book
bags every year for the Campus
Book Store, and fundraisers for
St. Claire's Battered Women's
Shelter in Escondido. Some of
the other volunteer services that
both fraternities share include

It turns out that there may be
more to the fraternity brothers
than the stereotypical images portrayed in movies and the media.
They are not solely about partying and socializing; they are also
about community service and
creating a sense of brotherhood
on campus. Buddha, a literature
and writing major, has some
advice for people who may
stereotype fraternities, "Don't
have preconceived notions. A lot

unique in its accessibility to the
faculty. I personally have found
many professors with whom I
