TRAVELING FOR THE HOLIDAYS?
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR TSA SEARCHES
BY D EVONNE E DORA
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
As the holidays approach, students gear u p to go b ack h ome.
For those w ho live f urther away,
flying on an airplane is the f astest way to get t here. Traveling by
plane, especially during the holidays, can b e a s tressful t ime. The
Transport Security Administration
(TS A ) has bulked its security and
have even experienced a backlash
from the i nfamous " pat-downs."
To help make the trip smoother,
familiarize yourself now with
TSA's rules and regulations.
In light of the events of Sept.
11, John Pistole, Administrator of the T SA, advocated that
elevated airport security i s crucial. Pistole said, "Nothing is
more important to me than the
safety of the traveling public."
This h as caused more stringent security and check points
at airports which have created
discomforts with travelers. What
students can do to ensure a more
enjoyable trip is to know what
the TSA does and doesn't prohibit. TSA has announced that
their security personnel will ex-

The tuition f ee students pay
each semester covers more than
j ust academic classes. Programs
and services CSUSM offers its
students are funded and operated by portions of paid tuition.
Thinking about a gym membership, but worried about the skyhigh monthly rates? A portion
of the University Student Union
(USU) f ee covers a semester long
gym membership to the Clarke
Field House. Included in students'
tuition is an ASI student recreation
f ee of $12 that serves in conjunction with the gym membership at
the Clarke that provides free fitness classes. Students can enjoy
hip-hop, Ashtanga Yoga, cycling,
Jiu-Jitsu, and Zumba salsa lessons
at the Clarke all semester long.
"The goal of ASI events and
programs is never to make a
profit f or ASI, but rather to pro-
vide diverse opportunities f or
all CSUSM students to engage
in campus l ife in ways that help
them experience a sense of community with their fellow students
and feel connected to the university," said Rodger D 'Andréas, Interim Executive Director f or A SI.
The $50 ASI f ee f unds our
favorite semester dance events,
the Masquerade Ball and the
Spring Fling, while also supporting
diverse
programs
made to service the students.
"These f ees f und student
programming provided by the
ASI Board of Directors, Campus Activities Board, Women's
Center, and LGBTQ Pride Center,"
continued
D 'Andréas.
"What ASI does f or the students and what it pays f or is

the students, according to

CALI FORNICATION
A S EMESTER ABROAD
BY SUSANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
As an exchange student
from England, I did not know
what to expect coming to Cal
State San Marcos or the U.S.
in general. With that said, I
also have to mention that I
have had the time of my life.
The first thing I noticed
is that everything in the
U.S. is way bigger: the cars,
the roads, the malls, stores,
portions of f ood, etc. The
Mexican influence here can
be compared to the Indian
influence back home; we
have loads of Indian food
places while barely any
Mexican places whatsoever.
Cars here are just massive.
Trucks are not at all popular
back home, and having one
would just make it impossible
to find a parking spot as we
parallel p art a lot. I also realized the necessity of having a
car. Back home, public transportation is very good, so you
don't really need a car. Buses,
trains and subways are cheap
and well maintained. They
run regularly, not like the
sprinter which just runs twice
an hour. Here, you can barely
get to a grocery store without a car, while back home,
I 'd rather walk than drive.
Finding a parking spot would
be too much of a hassle.
When I first arrived, I
asked myself, why do I have
to buy books and live with
only girls? In England, I
barely ever needed %to buy
books for school as most
of the course books could
be found iii the library. The
teachers do not expect their
students to buy all the books.
Also, the double spacing
and sourcing is new to me.
We use the Harvard referencing system, not the MLA or
APA. One of my teachers told
me in the beginning of the semester, "Sweetie, your essay
is a bit long, about twice as
long as it has to be." I forgot to double space because
I 'm not used to it and wrote
seven regular pages instead
of seven double spaced!
The dorms here are very
different too, way more expensive and in England we
have co-ed rooms and RAs.
Upon arriving in California, I realized football isn't
soccer here. Sports in the U.S.
are different, as soccer, which
we call football, is essentially
the national sport in England.
American Football and baseball are much bigger, and we
don't even have those in England. .Surfing is also something that is barely possible
with the tiny waves and super
cold water in the British Isles.
The best difference though
is the weather. England is
cold and it rains a lot. (At the
moment i t's 30 or so Fahrenheit in England, so the last
thing I want to do is to go
back.) It is quite different
being able to go to school
in shorts and flip flops here
compared to rubber boots
and coats back in England.
I also like that there is always something to do here:
music festivals, concerts and
great nightlife. The funny
thing is that we can drink
when we are 18 back home
but also have to wait until
we are 18 to drive while here
you have to be 21 to drink but
can drive when you are 16.
Both movies and music
come out here way before
they do at home. I recently
heard that "G6" by Far
East Movement just started playing in clubs back
home, and I also noticed
I cannot buy certain songs
on iTunes here because
they have not been released back home yet and
my account is connected
to my English address.
When I came here, I
didn't think people actually played beerpong. Back
home we only see it as
something Americans do
in teenage movies, and we
never play it. That is something that I for sure will
take with me back home
and do with my friends.
I think my exposure to
all things American has
changed me a lot, and I
will truly miss SoCal. I 've
had the time of my life,
and going on exchange is
the best decision I 've ever
made. I would encourage
anyone to go, as travelling and meeting new
people is just awesome.

University San Marcos has no identity. Quite a bold statement, yes?
Over the last seven years, I
have clicked the student button in every survey that asks
me what my occupation is. I
am looking forward to clicking
that button for a few more years
given the declining rate of necessary classes being provided
at reasonable times. I enjoy being a student and dealing with
the real world on my own terms.
The one thing I do not enjoy is
the daily grind that is campus

In my travels as a student, I
have been to many campuses,
both in state and out of state. At
each and every single campus I

athletics take up a good
amount of space. Maybe the
administration has finally real-
ized that they do not need to
cram Cesar Chavez quotes and
statues down our throats to unify
us. Maybe they have finally realized that athletics are the glue
that hold campus pride together
and help new people get stuck in.
What are you going to remember about being a student
at CSUSM when you graduate?
My challenge to you is to
take some time out of your hectic schedule to go out and support the students that give their
hearts to representing CSUSM

you might just replace those
memories of walking up and

HIV a wareness and progress greatest gift
ONE petitions to e radicate HIV t ransmission by 2 015
BY DANNY CASTRO
CONTRIBUTOR
We humans tend to try to find
differences between each other
and end up segregating based on
trivial differences. This holiday
season, I decided to see what
kind of differences there are in
the desires of people that are
"different" from one another by
asking them what they want for
Christmas. Granted, my sample is very small, but perhaps
something can be illustrated.
Politics and religion have
proven to be wonderful tools for
discrimination. I 'm aware that
there are more viewpoints than I
am listing and of the increasing
trend against the pigeonholing of
people, but I went with the obvious and went ahead and classified. I asked a conservative what
he wanted for Christmas: Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac. What
do you want for Christmas, my
liberal friend? Well, my liberal
friend told me she wanted me,
which is probably not so typical
of a liberal. Good luck with that.
I searched for atheists to see
what their Christmas wishes
were, but alas, they are hard to
find these days. I made do with
an agnostic and a Christian. I
thought for a second that maybe
my agnostic friend would tell me
that he didn't know what he wanted for Christmas, but instead he
told me he didn't want anything.
I thought that was what the atheist wanted. And for you, Christian friend, what would you like
f or Jesus's birthday? She wants
gift certificates to go shopping.
I expected more for such an important day. My Jewish friend
told me I was silly for asking
him what he wants for Christmas.
What do a Caucasian, an African American, a Latino, and
a couple of Asian girls have in
common? I don't know, but I
asked them what they want for
Christmas.
My white friend
wants a Hello Kitty bowling ball.
My black friend wants shoes.
My brown friend wants a pedal
board, and my Asian girlfriends
want a car and a surprise, respectively. I guess I do know what
those people have in common after all: they literally have wishes.
Finally, I asked a homosexual
person and a heterosexual person
what they want for Christmas.
, They both said they want sex. I
hope they enjoy safely. According to USAid.gov, it is estimated
that 5,500 people die every day
from AIDS, one third of which
are living in sub-Saharan Africa.
None of us were given the choice
to be born in the circumstances we
were born in—we could have just
as well been born into extreme
poverty. We should put ourselves
in their shoes, and most of them
probably don't even have shoes.
We humans are not so different
from one another after all. The
trivial differences in the kinds of
gifts we want illustrate the trivial
differences we invent to segregate ourselves. We are all human.
It wasn't my intention to
make it seem as if my friends
and their Christmas wishes are
representative of the groups
they identify with—obviously, that isn't the case. I 'll tell
you this though, and the birthday boy said it best: "it is more
blessed to give than to receive."
This holiday season, in the
spirit of giving, you should consider giving your voice to help
those who need it most. 31,000
babies will get HIV in December for Christmas because thenmothers have HIV. We now
have the medicine and treatment
to prevent HIV from spreading
from mother to child. By giving
your voice, you can help get this
treatment to those that need it.

In 2008, 50,000 ONE members

Secretary-General

ourselves out to be, if President
George W. Bush and President
Barack Obama can agree on this
issue, I think everyone can too.
The U.S. and all 192 United
Nations member states have already agreed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by
2015 (goals include eradicating
extreme poverty, reducing child
mortality rates, and fighting disease epidemics such as AIDS).
Our voices serve as a reminder
to our leaders that we care about
those issues, that we put ourselves
in the shoes of the poorest people
who cannot even afford shoes,
that we know any one of us could
have been born into such circumstances and that we wouldn't
want that for anyone, and, finally, that we do not think getting
HIV for Christmas is ever OK.

�POST HOLIDAY BLUES
BY REBEKAH GREEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The holiday break is a time
to celebrate. People, for all
sorts of reasons, express excitement over holiday traditions,
family gatherings, or excitement over the Winter Break.
For many though, the holidays
arrive with an unwelcome guest:
the holiday blues. These blues
seem like an issue easily remedied, but in many cases, it can lead
to much more serious problems.
The stress of holiday shopping,
a whirlwind of family gatherings
and the inability to visit family
and can be a couple of factors
that accumulate to holiday blues.
Particularly with students, the
stress of dealing with the end of
the semester added to these issues
can easily contribute to the blues.
A good source to seek for
help f or the holiday blues is the
Student Health & Counseling
Services, which provides counseling and medical services to
students, located across from
campus along Craven Road.
According to The National
Mental Health Association, some
effects of the holiday blues include over-eating, drinking,
sleeping problems and other issues that can cause bodily and
emotional discomfort. A large
amount of those afflicted with
holiday blues experience it following the new year. Psychology Today lists a few ways to
lessen the blues this season including making sure not to set
too busy a schedule especially
in the already hectic times of the
winter season, and remembering that holidays always change
each year, and nothing will stay
the same, therefore try to accommodate new plans/activities
f or the winter bjeak each year.
There are plenty of ways to
get involved during the holidays too: charity events, local
Christmas events, and many
forms of community service.
The holiday blues are common in individuals, but from

A survey of classes that promote social awareness and life enjoyment
BY ASHLEY DAY
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Many students are leaving
CSUSM soon, but have not fulfilled all their graduation requirements. Before they step into
the "real" world, here are some
classes that stimulate the mind
and propel them toward graduation day. Each class is followed,
in parentheses, by the undergraduate requirement it fulfills.
Philosophy 110: Critical Thinking (A3)
Philosophy 110 explores approaches to nature and logic as
well as rational arguments and
fallacies used in everyday conversations. This class makes one
think about different ways people
argue and how they cannot really support their arguments.
GES 105: Intro to Physical Science ( Bl)

a conceptual viewpoint to differ- embrace the way women have
ent aspects of physical science. developed modern day society.
FMST 100: Intro to Cinema ( CI)
Intro to Cinema is a fine art
requirement class. It is one of
the eleven class options CSUSM
offers in fine arts. The class explores the four elements of cinema: categories, structures, theories and production of cinema.
This is a class for film junkies
and people interested in learning about the world of movies.
WMST 205: Gender & Identity
in Pop Culture and the Media
(C2)
This women's studies class
surveys the way pop culture
and the media have shaped
gender roles, sexuality and
ECON 202: Principles of Macroeconomics (D)
Economics courses are not
only for business majors. We live
in a capitalist country, so to make it
in society, you need to understand
the relationship between the U.S.
economy and the world. Principles of Macroeconomics may
not be everyone's "cup of tea,"
but this class will help you learn
about gross domestic products
(GDP), inflation, unemployment,
monetary policies and deficits.
ASTR 342: Elements of Astronomy (BB Math or Science)
Elements of Astronomy counts
as an upper division math or sci-
ence graduation requirement. The
course examines human knowledge of the solar systems, galaxies,
and their relationships to Earth.
ANTH 380: Current Archaeology (DD Social Science)
This anthropology course
delves into one anthropological subdivision: archaeology.
Elements of Current Archaeology explores local archaeological sites and indigenous culture. This class piques the
interest of people who would
like to connect modern society
with our biological ancestors.
PSYC 330: Developmental
Psychology: Infant/Child (DD
Social Science)
Most students may one day
have children. It would be a
great idea to start learning about
children now. This upper division psychology class explores
the aspects of physical and emo-
tional development of a child
from conception to early life.
HIST 347: California History
( DGGov)
This history course provides an
in depth look at different periods
in the history of the Golden State.
This includes periods of Spanish,
Mexican and U.S. governance.
The course also covers each government's relationship with the
original inhabitants of this land.
TA 301: Intro to Acting
This is a three-unit course that
may be repeated for up to nine
units. Intro to Acting is a small
class that allows the student to
practice basic acting techniques
and bring out their inner "drama
king/queen." During the semester, the student has to prepare their
own monologue and scene to perform in front of the class. This is a
course for those of us who always
dreamed of being in the spotlight .

TO COMMUTE OR NOT TO COMMUTE?
I A M A STUDENT A ND A COMMUTER
BY DEVONNE EDORA
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Students recognize CSUSM
a
commuter
school.
Our school's on-campus housing at the University Village
Apartments (UVA) is only able to
accommodate a total of about 500600 students, from a total student
body of about 9,142. Obviously, a
great number of students end up
having to commute to campus almost everyday. Luckily, students
live in a wide variety of off-campus housing. Living in San Marcos isn't always the best financial
choice for a student. So, commuting to school i s the way to go.
Others may believe that commuting is hard for a variety of
reasons. I d on't think it takes anything away from being a college
student. I got the chance to talk
with two commuters and asked
them what they thought about
CSUSM's commuter campus. I
spoke with Lia Alvarez, a sophomore who commutes from Fallbrook Monday through Thursday.
Alvarez's schedule getting to
school consists of waking up at
5 a.m. dropping off her daughter by 6, and trying to make the
train that will transfer her to the
Sprinter arriving at CSUSM. I
as
asked her why she didn't opt to
drive to school. She replied, "I
could drive [to CSUSM] and it
would take me about an hour, but
I don't like driving." Especially
if her husband isn't on deployment, Alvarez's only option is
to take the train/Sprinter route
to get to school. Downsides to
commuting are that she has to
be on schedule with everything.
"If you miss the 306, you have
to wait a long time [for the next]
to come and you're going to be
late," Alvarez said. Students can
take the Breeze bus, but it only
comes twice every hour, compelling students to travel on foot to
reach campus. While to some,
this commute may seem tedious,
a good amount of students do
take the Sprinter to school. Alvarez said that she sees a "lot of
students from Palomar and Mira
Costa, around 10-15 students, and
about 25 students from CSUSM."
Jilliane Douglas, .currently a
junior, also commutes. She had
previously lived on campus.
Driving from San Diego twice a
week, Douglas describes some of
her experiences switching from
San Marcos living to commuting. "[Commuting] makes me go
to school more, because I have to
make that conscious decision to
go class. If I don't go to my first
class, it's probably likely I won't
go to my next one." Douglas
also commented that commuting
to school hasn't affected her involvement on campus. In actuality, she believes that it has done
the opposite. "Honestly; I 'm more
involved with the campus. I 'm
going to participate in the Triathlon through the Clarke, and I 'm
interested in joining a sorority,"
Douglas said. "Living on campus—I took it for granted. I felt
living on campus was the same
feeling of being on campus."
In comparison to other colleges, this amount of commuting to school appears to be going against what it is to "go to
college." Making the drive everyday and being far away from
campus events can make it seem
like you're not getting the a
complete "college experience."
Commuting instills a type of discipline that is taken for granted
when students live on campus.
Interestingly, no one mentioned the perks of living off
campus, such as not having to
share a bedroom or bathroom
with anyone, doing laundry without quarters, and no one telling
you to be quiet after 10 p.m. Tedious or not, commuting can still
work. Whoever says otherwise
doesn't dictate what is and should
be your college experience.

�M YSTERIOUS CAMPUS S PORTS ARENA
WHEN WILL THE NEW FACILITY OPEN I TS DOORS?
BY MICHAEL RAWSON

spent forty days
waiting f or the world to
stop raining. But at least he
knew it would be forty days.
Our baseball and softball
teams are getting their own
home on campus, but it looks
like the agonizing cycle of waiting begins when the date of
its arrival remains a mystery.
Cougar sports fans are used
to being spectators away f rom
school. The baseball and softball teams have spent their first
few seasons playing at off-campus sites, like San Marcos High
school. The women's softball
field opened in time f or spring
2010 and the baseball team will
open competition on their home
field in 2011. Meanwhile, the
multipurpose arena f or basketball and volleyball will open
at a date more mysterious,
than an Agatha Christie novel.
The man who might hold
the answer, CSUSM Athletic
Director Tom Seitz, was unavailable f or comment by the
time The Pride went to print.
In an interview with the
North County Times in January
of this year, Seitz prophesized
some things but also came off

with a women's volleyball team.
In April, students voted in
favor of a $60 tuition increase
devoted to athletic fees over
the next two years in efforts to
welcome the new sports. Now,
those squads have coaches and
scheduled
games.
Strange-
for the whole enchilada at an estimated $50 million. Seitz said,
"We d on't have time to wait f or
that much to be raised...getting
the softball field done will show
people that we are moving forward and are able to complete
projects and get things done."

a year or two." And m en's basketball coach, Jim Saia, offered the
most curious testimony of all:
"Hopefully, i t's a matter of when,
and not i f, the arena comes."
In an email, Public Information
Director f or CSUSM, Margaret
Lutz said that "[a]n arena would
be a terrific addition to our campus and we are currently exploring the possibilities of building
one. However, there are no formal
plans nor a concrete timeline currently in place f or construction."
Could it be that the new home
of basketball and volleyball
might still be in doubt? According to Tom Seitz, i t's unlikely.
Since taking over as athletic director in July 2009, he has sent
the already thriving athletic program into overdrive. An affiliate
minor league baseball club of the
San Diego Padres had been considering C SUSM's baseball home
as a possible stadium, but after
the team stalled, Seitz helped
make the decision go forward
with a much needed field f or the
Cougars. San Marcos sports seem
destined to soon compete at the
NCAA Division II level. The
softball field is a successful operation. The new basketball and
volleyball teams are in motion—
they j ust d on't have a home.
How long will it be before they do? N o one seems
to know, and it will undoubtedly be more than forty days.
But the Cougar arena seems
unlikely to end u p underwater.

�T EXTING NIGHTMARES
AUTO C ORRECT C ORRECTING C ORRECTIONS
BY FAITH ORCINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
To every problem, there is a
solution. Sadly, however, sometimes these solutions end up creating more trouble. For example,
AutoCorrect settings in text messages sometimes d o more harm
than good. Depending on the
phone and service, this program
goes by many names. For example, my phone is a Sanyo 2700
from Sprint. There is a setting in
the messages section called "Predictive Text." This setting allows
certain phrases to pop up to select
while typing a word it recognizes.
During a conversation, I tried to
say, "Hey, I am at a meeting,"
but instead my phone sent, "Hey,
I am at a meet me at." Luckily,
I turned off the predictive text
after finding the setting menu.
Roberto Barragan,* a third
year Mass Media major, also
ran into some AutoCorrect problems with his Droid phone. He
texted, "Do you wanna hang
pants tonight?" when he wanted to say, "Do you wanna hang
out?" It at first seems like a
funny situation, but it is a growing hassle for cell phone owners.
In the early years of the cell
phone, before touch screens and
full keyboards, the program for
the basic 9-key keypad was Nuance's T9. According to Nuance,
users gain features like Next Word
Prediction, Enhanced Word Completion, and "One Key Press per
Letter." Now many in this technologically advancing age own
iPhones, Droids, and other new
products where a full keyboard
is available. The software, now
mainly called AutoCorrect, works
LEFT: Texters poke
fun at the oddly corrected message sent
through an Apple
iPhone.
t what r u doing j
like the spell check on Microsoft
Word. Type out your message and
any "mistakes" found, the program fixes with its preset solution
list of words. Now, as people and
the world change, so do the languages. Some people create new
slang terms for many expressions,
and \fchen they input the terms
into the phone, the device registers the so-called error as a misspelling for another word. Sadly,
there are those moments when we
hit the send button before realizing the original message changed.
This problem has solutions.

Cramming late into the night, drinking gallons of coffee to stay up, trying to review those last few chapters
- sound familiar? These days are soon
upon us with finals week right around
the corner. With tons of studying to
come, we will all be looking for ways
to make it easier and more efficient.
This semester, don't bother with
making or carrying around tons of paper'flashcards in a thick stack. ACE
Flashcards from Apple is here to help.
Made by Agile Partners, the application
can easily be found on their website,
agilepartners .com/apps/aceflashcards/
or in the iTunes store for 99 cents.

as many helpful features as ACE. With
a built in English dictionary you don't
have to look far for the definition of any
word. You just type in the vocabulary
word you want and ACE will automati-
cally put the definition on the back. It
will save you the time and hassle of having to write out every definition. You can
even email fiashcard decks» to friends.
ACE Flashcards are a great studying tool for a wide range of subjects.
They are not only easy to use but
also extremely efficient. The application comes preloaded with Spanish animals, U.S. capitals, and sample
vocabulary flashcards. It might be
kind of corny, but the best part is the
"shake-to-shuffle" f eature/By shaking
your iPhone the deck shuffles itself.

this semester and dump the old ways
of cramming. ACE Flashcards will
be amaze you with all the cool features it has to offer and by how fast

�NEW YEAR'S CELEBRATIONS
BY SUSANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Most people like New Year's
celebrations and it is something
that is celebrated all over the
world. Champagne, fireworks,
good food in the company of
friends and family seems to be a
winning concept wherever you go.
In Paris, wishing people
"Bonne année" and exchanging
"bisous," kisses, comes with the
New Year celebrations. People
flock at the famous street ChampsÉlysées with champagne in
hand to celebrate and watch fireworks blast off around the Eiffel
Tower at the stroke of midnight.
In London; the Brits get their
drink on for New Year's, and
people traditionally gather at
Trafalgar Square in central London for the countdown to midnight. The ultimate firework show
goes off from South Bank next
to the big Ferris wheel The London Eye when Big Ben chimes at
midnight. Tube rides are free in
London on New Years and so going from a house party to South
Bank to see the fireworks should
not be too much of a problem.
The Italians; in Rome traditionally gather at Piazza del Popolo
to celebrate New Yçar's Eye with
live music, dancing and fireworks that starts at 11 p.m. and
continues throughout the night.
In Sydney, more than 1.5 million people gather at the Sydney
Harbor to welcome the new year.
Firework shows start at 9 p jn.,
but at midnight the whole opera
house is lit up by the many fireworks blasting off in the night sky.
A crazier New Year's Eve party than the one at the Thai island
of Koh Phangan is hard to find.
50,000 people from all over the
world gather at the Haad Rin beach
to dance the night away with buckets of drinks instead of glasses,
fire dancers, loud music and lots
of fireworks. The crowd is young
and people celebrate until the tide
comes in and the sun comes up.
The New Year's Celebration is
one of the biggest events in Rio de
Janeiro. More than 2 million people gather at Copacabana beach
where the festivities start at 8 p.m.
with live music. The firework
show starts at midnight, and they
are fired from boats offshore so
all the spectators are safe and can
see them light up the sky and the
ocean. It is also tradition to wear
white clothes and to bring flower
to throw into the water at midnight.
Kuala Lumpur, the Muslim
capital of Malaysia offers a massive New Year's Celebration with
streets so crowded it is hard to
get anywhere. Most restaurants,
bars and shops are open and the
best festivities are in the many
bars that offer live music and activities. The streets and shops are
covered in light and at midnight,
a large firework show goes off in
front of the Petrona Twin Towers.
In Hong Kong both Dec. 31 and
the Chinese New Year are two big
festivities to be celebrated. The
latter is wider celebrated than our
New Year, though. People gather
in "Times Square," or the Victo-.
ria Harbor, for the countdown.
From the Harbor large firework
shows can be seen with the many
skyscrapers in the background.
South Africa's Cape Town offers large festivities, though they
celebrate New Year on Jan. 1.
The locals look forward to the
New Year's celebrations weeks
ahead and the celebrations are
ushered with ringing church bells
and gunshots. Houses, shops5 and
all public places are covered in
gorgeous decorations. Tourists
and locals flock at the Victoria
and Alfred Waterfront were the
largest festivities in the country take place and people dance
the night away with fireworks
blasting throughout the night.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2010
came and went, and now the shopping
madness left many discount shelves empty.
In order to fix those last minute jams,
several places and methods can help you.
Re-gifting is an inexpensive way to put
the useless into use. People gave some
presents out of good cheer, but sadly, you
could not use in your lifestyle. Instead
of letting them gather dust in storage,
simply wrap the items up for ones you
know may need them. It is a green solution where you save time, money, space
and probably some trees along the way.
On the subject of saving money, thrift
stores are also cheap solutions for gifts.
A donated necklace or fishing rod might
be what you have been looking for.
The Goodwill in San Diego, there are
15 locations to purchase and donate items.
Several other non-profit groups have their
own thrift stores in the area. Not only can
you find gifts, but also you help some of
the unfortunate residents in the county.
When it is a challenge to find an exact
present for someone, buying a gift card is
an easy option. It allows the receiver to
buy what they want with the money that
is in the card within the designated store.
Many stores, including some grocery and
online ones provide gift cards for shoppers. Places like Ralphs, Vons, Albertsons
and Wal-Mart carry a wide variety of gift
cards. Just stop by to check out the choices.
If you do not have time to buy a gift
card, checks and cash are good backups. It is might be better just to let
gift recipients choose what they want.
For those who will be hosting parties and/or fixing up the place for the
holiday, affordable decorations are available.
Dollar Tree, a money-saving
branch of stores, has 12 locations within
a 25-mile radius of San Marcos where
most of the stock is only a dollar each.
They also deliver bulk orders f rom their
website to those 12 locations, if requested.
You can use any of the given options not
only work for the holiday seasons, but
also for any celebration like birthdays, anniversaries, parties and other festivities.

"Inception" (PG13)
Christopher Nolan's borderline genius film that delves into the way a human mind functions while deep in sleep is finally released on DVD and Blu-ray today. The film follows
a group of dream extractors, led by Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), as they take on a life-altering heist that mvolves planting an idea in someone's mind. Offered his only chance of
redemption, Cobb risks his own sanity and grasp on reality to succeed in pulling off the
perfect inception. Nolan artfully skews reality with the unconscious landscape, causing
you to question everything that you think you know. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio,
Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe,
Tom Hardy, and Michael Cain.
"Shrek Forever After" (PG)
Shrek is back in the fourth, and final, film of the Shrek franchise. Bored with domestic life, Shrek (Mike Myers) longs for
the days when he was a feared ogre. After he is coerced into signing a deal with Rumpelstiltskin, Shrek is thrown into an
alternate reality where Rumpelstiltskin is King, ogres are hunted, Far Far Away is a shell of what it once was, and where he
had never met Fiona (Cameron Diaz), Donkey (Eddie Murphy), or Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas). "Shrek Forever After" fails to match the comedic gold of the first two Shrek films but it succeeds in surpassing the third, continuing to show
an evolution in Shrek's character. While funny, "Shrek Forever After" relies a little too heavily on pop culture references
and songs for all of the comedic relief. New to the franchise are actors such as John Hamm and Jane Lynch.
"Boy Meets World: The Complete Fourth Season" (NR)
Want to relive your childhood? The fourth season of "Boy Meets World" is the perfect answer to the nostalgia you may be
feeling now that finals creeping closer. The show follows Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and the life lessons he learns while
growing from a young boy to a grown adult, orchestrating college life and marriage. With his best friend, Shawn (Rider
Strong), his older brother Eric (Will Friedle), his childhood sweetheart and future wife, Topanga (Danielle Fishel), and
his mentor, Mr. Feeney (William Daniels), Cory slowly learns how to be an adult without losing the playful innocence of
childhood.

BLACKSW\N
BY MILA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
When it comes to Darren Aronofsky ("The Wrestler;' "Requiem for a Dream," and "Pi") ,
regardless of the genre, you know exactly what sort of film you'll be walking into; it will
be intelligent, passionate, brutal, beautiful, and raw. With each film, Aronofsky continues
** to deliver, and "Black Swan" only further ups the ante. Within the competitive and physically abusive world ofprofessional ballet, Aronofsky poses a constructed reality that just
may be more truthful than that which is considered real outside of the frame. Channeling
Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," the psychologically disturbing "Black Swan" will
leave you stunned, stuttering out pieced together fragments of your shattered thoughts.
Nina (Natalie Portman) is a dedicated and poised dancer with the New York City
Ballet Company who pushes her body and her mind to the limit to be her best. Delicate and childlike, Nina is a perfectionist who still lives with her overbearing mother
(Barbara Hershey), while frozen in a ten year old's bedroom. After Thomas (Vincent
Cassel), the company director, forces the company's star (Winona Ryder) into retirement, a new star is needed to play the dual role of the Swan Queen for the new
" .. inteCCigenty
passionate, BrutaC,
Beautiful ancCraw. "
season's opening performance of Swan Lake. It's immediately apparent that Nina
completely embodies the White Swan, the epitome of virginal innocence, but she is unable to bring the seductive Black Swan out from within. With the role in her hands,
** Nina is pushed to her limits when the relaxed and sexually vibrant Lily (Mila Kunis) arrives. With Thomas's urging her to awaken the passion he knows is within and
with Lily as a reflection of everything she cannot be, Nina quickly finds herself losing grip on her rapidly fragmenting reality as she pursues the perfect performance.
Set in the world of professional ballet, "Black Swan" can easily be seen as a companion film to Aronofsky's 2008 "The Wrestler." Both films show how far pro-
fessional athletes will push themselves, forcing their bodies and minds to take on
abuses that can physically and mentally cripple them in an instant. Whereas "The
Wrestler" approaches the theme through the use of a hardened and aged man, showing the deep vulnerability within, "Black Swan" centers on an incredibly delicate and
timid young woman who is internally deeply disturbed and twisted. Every choice
made by Aronofsky, the excruciating emphasis put on bloody toe nails and the straining corded muscles of Nina's feet as she stands en pointe f or hours on end, violently
and delicately propels forward the story of a ballet dancer on the brink of darkness.
After strenuously training for a year and losing twenty pounds, Natalie Portman completely transforms herself into Nina, obliterating any doubt as to her unending talent. Completely perfecting the dual nature of the Swan Queen, she blurs the lines between the timid
beauty of the White Queen with the underlying darkness of the Black Queen lurking beneath.
With Nina's rapidly fracturing mental state, her perception of reality can never be completely trusted, making Portman's Nina delicately terrifying; the perfect unreliable narrator.
While Portman's performance absolutely stuns, leaving you breathless with its intensity, the rest of the cast never dares to solely rely on Portman's performance. Winona Ryder
is wonderful as the aged ballerina who is pushed from the spotlight, terrified of her limitations and living with the unending crippling fear of aging. As the seductively sleazy director,
Vincent Cassel shines. He pushes and prods Nina, his actions methodical and always with
purpose, until she has no other response but to mentally crack. Mila Kunis, in a role completely differentfromthose in her past, slides within thefilmseamlessly. She plays Lily with
a free-spirit that is questionable in its intentions, reflecting all that Nina needs to bring out
from within herself. Out of the excellent supporting cast, Barbara Hershey is spectacular as
Nina's mother. She manages to effortlessly play the role of a domineering mother seen th-
rough Nina's cracked perception, subtly layering her character. You have no idea what to
believe and in this sense, "Black Swan" completely blurs the lines between reality and its
false perceptions, to the point where the mere concept of reality fails to hold any merit.
"Black Swan" is as close to perfection as a film can get. Every single decision is
thoughtful and nothing is wasted, building up psychological terror to culminate in
the inevitable ending. The camerawork is frenetic and claustrophobic, framing countless fast-paced close-ups that place you within the fractured reality of Nina's life. You
are never allowed to take a step back from the unending pain that is threaded within
the film's fabric. The score emphasizes the slightest sound, magnifying it to a degree that suffocates you. Nina's labored breathing, the unbearable feeling of her nails
scratching along her skin, it all works to lock you within the frame and stutter your
own casual breathing. Aronofsky expertly uses as many reflective surfaces as he
can and films Portman through these surfaces more often than not, portraying Nina
more as a reflection than a person, highlighting her rapidly splintering personality.
While "Black Swan!' may not be a horror film in the conventional sense, portions of
the film will disturb you in ways that a slasher film never could. D on't dare let a film set
in the world of ballet turn you off because "Black Swan" is deeply and psychologically
terrifying and will easily go down in film history as a rare and perfect achievement.
Beautifully framed and emotionally tense, the film is layered so expertly that it is rigid
in form but loose in content. Working as a modern adaptation of "Swan Lake" itself,
Aronofsky manages to create many self-reflective layers within "Black Swan." The film
itself even works as a reflection of the layered Swan Queen; "Black Swan" is a controlled beauty that is wildly dangerous, incredibly free and terrifyingly seductive beneath.

ast Wednesday, Nov.
10, the California State
J —^University Board df
Trustees approved a two-step
tuition increase for the Cal State
system. According to a press release by csu.edu, the increase
will sustain enrollment, classes,
and services for current students.
The first tuition increase will
go into effect on Jan. 1, 2011 as
a five percent addition of $105.
A 10 percent increase, $444,
will become effective for fall
2011, according to the CSU.
The addition to already inflated tuition and student fees
have many students wondering
where their money goes. " I'd
want to see more improvements
made to c ampus" said Rachel
Hernandez, a senior majoring
in Kinesiology. "It's rough for
students paying out of their own
pockets, but as tuition increases,
financial aid increases, too."
Students who have been in the
CSU system for several years,
like Monica Rodriguez, a M.A.
student in Literature and Writing, who also received her B.A.
from CSUSM, have experienced the brunt of many fee increases in the last few years. "I
feel angry considering the CSU
system started out free, and its
purpose was to bring higher education to people who couldn't
afford college," Rodriguez said.
Dr. Don Barrett, associate
professor of Sociology, is the
president of the CSUSM chapter
of the California Faculty Association. The Pride approached him
for a comment regarding the CSU
fee increases, and he prepared a
statement on behalf of the CFA.
"In general, CFA has opposed
the fee increases for many of the
same reasons that various student
groups oppose thè fee increases.
We are concerned about the increased debt faced by many students for attending college, the
very high likelihood that higher
fees will discourage some students from getting -the education
that would benefit them, and that
fee increases will further reduce
access to education for students
from social groups that have his- •
torically been under-represented
in education. While the CSU system has been very good at reserving a portion of the fee increases
to address exactly these sorts of
concerns, the fee increases do
become a hard fact of life for a
large portion of students. Given
the current state of the economy,
this is not a good time to be
saddling students with significantly higher educational debt.
"On a broader level, we are
concerned that the fee increases
reflect the state legislature's continued inability to find a way to
adequately support higher education. It is this broader concern
that motivates much of CFA's
legislative actions, including our
efforts to encourage students to
contact their legislatures about
education costs. A related question that comes up with such
fee increases is whether the
CSU administration might, itself, find other means to save
money (e.g., reducing administrative costs) that would reduce
CSUSM TUITION TIMELINE

the size of the increases needed.
Along these same lines, CFA has
regularly supported a bill to increase transparency in accounting for the funding of university auxiliaries, but the governor
has now twice vetoed that bill.
"Whether the fee increases
are going to come down to the
individual campuses and result
in an increased number of [class]
sections is something that the administration will decide. Logically, however, it is important
to note that the fee increases do
not necessarily mean an increase
in overall budget for the CSU.
Though the legislature, this year,
returned some of CSU's budget
to levels that were higher than
last year, the state has a new budget crisis as of [last] week. If this
new crisis results in less money
from the state for the CSU than
was promised, then the fee increase is going to have to make
up for some of that deficit. Clearly, the answer to keep us from
having additional needs for fee
increases in the future is political pressure on the legislature."

few technical difficulties started
before the event could proceed.
The
contestants
were
judged
on
three
rounds.
Round one consisted of introducing the contestants and their
Alpha Chi coaches. Enrique Iglesias's song " I Like I t" played during Mr. Italy's (Brandon Barnes)
intro. Some of the .highlights of
the introduction round were Mr.
U.S.A's (Garrett Yack) introduction with Miley Cyrus's "Party in
the U.S.A.," Mr. Ireland's (Nick
Bowser) j ig and Mr. A frica's
(Ashton Harvey) backdrop photo.
During round two of the
competition, the contestants presented themselves in their best
"formal wear." Alpha Chi emcees asked the participants numerous questions and the boys
were graded on their responses.
Cameron Mclaws (Mr. Scotland)
was asked what he would do if
he won the lottery. He answered,
" I would give most of the money to my parents, since they are
great supporters of mine and
travel with the rest." Justin Mon-
tes (Mr. Jamaica) was asked to
use three adjectives to describe
himself to which he responded,
"Short, dark and handsome."
Mr. Australia (Ken Lalonde)
presented himself in his military attire and responded to the
question, "What is the biggest
goal you have accomplished?"
Round three displayed each
person's talent. The contestants
proved to be stiff competition
to each other. Each talent was
a mixture of funny and sweet.
Many of the talents consisted
of dancing and singing. Daniel
Mason (Mr. Iceland) replicated
Napoleon Dynamite's "Vote f or
Pedro" dance, Yack danced to
Vanilla I ce's, "Ice Ice Baby,"
Harvey brought back 90s memories with C isqo's, "Thong Song"
and Paolo Leveratto (Mr. Mexico) sang along with Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have
Fun." Brian Buttacavoli (Mr.
Brazil) presented a self-penned
song and piano composition to
the Alpha Chi girls. Buttacovoli
dedicated the song to his mom.
While the judges deliber-
ated on the winner, the Alpha
Chi women raffled away gift
baskets including a CSUSM
g ift basket, San Diego Chargers
and Padres g ift baskets and a
holiday g ift basket donated by
the sorority Alpha Xi Delta.
Leveratto
(Mr.
Mexico)
placed as contestant with most
supporters. Harvey (Mr. Africa) came in third place, while
Bowser (Mr. Ireland) placed second. The big winner of the night
ended u p being the contestant
who "joined a week before the
competition," Brian Buttacavoli
(Mr. Brazil). Mr. Alpha Chi 2009
crowned Buttacavoli "Mr. Alpha
Chi 2010." Buttacavoli said it
felt "Absolutely, phenomenally
amazing" to be crowned Mr.
Alpha Chi 2010. He hopes to be
"the best representation f or Alpha Chi Omega that he can be."

I c an't speak f or the community at large, but I , f or one, am
sick and tired of commercials.
But I o ften find myself in a bit
of a pickle. While I may hold
a deep-seated hatred f or commercials, I have an even more
p owerful love of television.
For instance, take The Office.
I have been a loyal f an since its
inception. But I find it hard to j ustify allocating half an hour of my
night to watch a 20-minute show
with 10 minutes of commercials.
So herein lies the dilemma:
H ow can I watch my favorite shows without having to sit
through all the advertisements?
Luckily, we all live in a society
f ull of technology that can help us
avoid the over-saturation of commercials in our popular media. I
feel it would be prudent to state at
this point I will only be examining
the legal ways to get around commercials, though I still acknowledge that there are alternative
methods to access these shows
f ree of advertising that are not
strictly legal. You will j ust have
to discover those on your own.
The first method I would highly suggest trying out is a digital
video recorder (DVR), or Tivo
device that is becoming standard
equipment included in cable television packages. Not only does
this f ree up time, but gives you
complete freedom over when you

¡PHONE APPS FOR BUSY STUDENTS
TAKING A LOOK AT FIVE O F THE MOST USEFUL APPS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
BY CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
P RIDE STAFF WRITER
As the iPhone's popularity
continues to grow, so does the
need f or apps that serve a wider
variety of users. With a wealth of
apps and f unctions, the iPhone's
r ole in the student l ife has become an extension of the laptop f or some and a mere device
to text friends f or others. While
making the most of the device's
social capabilities is important,
the iPhone o ffers so many apps
that the most u seful ones f or
students o ften get overlooked.
The price of these apps ranges
f rom f ree to a round$10. Although
most professors w on't allow the
use of phones in class, these apps
can be u seful outside the classroom to further enhance a student's learning habits or change
and email a text document when
a laptop has been left at home.
H ere's a list of the most useful apps f or students on campus.
Evernote- Find yourself needing an easier way to organize,
short memos? Evernote is a
popular app that allows the user
to make a quick text note, attach a web page, record a voice
memo, take a photo, or take a
screenshot. The app gives you the
ability to add a tag to the note,
making the selection easy to find
when searched for. Price: Free
JotNot Scanner Pro- The
dream of scanning papers and
keeping them in your pocket is
now a reality with JotNot. This
app detects the size and lighting of papers to maximize its
visibility f or later viewing. If
you ever wanted to copy a page
out of a library book without
checking it out, JotNot makes
it faster than ever. Price: $0.99
iStudiez Pro- Managing dead-
lines and class schedules can be
a difficult task f or any student.
This app takes charge of the hectic student life and organizes it
into an easy to navigate calendar
and planner. From labs to study
groups, iStudiez Pro keeps your
assignments and school schedule neat and tidy. Price: $2.99
AirSharing- One of the biggest
concerns on presentation day is
losing the tiny USB device carrying all your information. AirSharing fixes that by turning your
iPhone into a document storage
device, allowing you to take your
files where ever you go without
the need f or keeping track of another USB drive. Price: $2.99
Quickoffice Connect Mobile
Suite- Although i t's the most
expensive on the list, Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite is
one of the most u seful apps f or
students. Forget about lugging
around the laptop, this app gives
you the option of opening, creating, and making revisions to Microsoft Office documents using a
number of file extensions. Once
y ou're finished, y ou're given
the option of sending the document out as an email. Price: $9.99

Annual event on campus to help students quit smoking
BY SUZANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Student Health and Counseling Services is hosting an event
on campus at Kellog Library Plaza on Thursday, Nov. 18, from 11
a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to celebrate the
American Cancer Society's 35th
Annual Great American Smokeout. The Smokeout is a nationwide
event for smokers that aims to inform and encourage people to stop
smoking and live a healthier life.
There are many Great American Smokeout events held
throughout California. CSUSM is
one of many Californian universities to host an event and CSUSM
is also one of many smoke-free
universities, where smoking
is limited to designated areas.
With more than 12 million
deaths since 1974 and an estimated 400,000 deaths a year, tobacco use is the largest preventable
cause of death in the country. According to The American Cancer
Society, 30 percent of all cancer
deaths are related to smoking.
Their statistics also claim that
3,400 nonsmokers die each year
f rom being exposed to smoke,
known as secondhand smoking.
The Great American Smokeout became a nationwide event
in 1977 and has since brought
forward many tobacco related issues and helped start a revolution
against tobacco and smoking. The
annual event started in 1971 when
Arthur P. Mullaney suggested
people stop smoking for one day
and give the money they would
have spent on cigarettes to a high
school fund. The second event f uelling the development of today's
Great American Smokeout was in
1974 when Lynn R. Smith started
the first "Don't Smoke Day" in
Minnesota. Today, smoking is
banned in many public places,
and there is raised awareness of
how harmful smoking can be.
Anti-tobacco
organizations
and individuals have helped the
fight against tobacco use in many
ways. One of the latest big changes in the market is the Family
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco
Control Act, which was signed
into law in 2009. That gave the
FDA regulatory control over
the tobacco industry's marketing practices, in hopes of keeping tobacco related products and
commercials away from children.
To participate in the event on
campus, all you need is a commitment to quit or to give up
smoking for a day. If you are a
nonsmoker, you can sign up to
be a grassroots advocate and help
create a smoke-free environment
and smoke-free communities.
Gabriel Pena, a student at
CSUSM, said of the Smokeout,
"I have never heard of the event
before, but I think it sounds
cool that they help people quit
smoking. It is so bad for you."
If you are ready for the challenge to put out your last cigarette, the American Cancer
Society has self-help guides
and support for those wanting to quit on their website.
If you are not there yet and not
totally ready, the event supports
smokers to at least think about
the consequences and try to not
smoke for the day the event is held.

Here at C SUSM, we have no
football team. Y ou've probably
noticed. T here's no doubt that we
have some great sports teams dedicated soccer players, neversay-"die" track and field people,
even a champion surf team. We
j ust d on't happen to have an organized football department.
But woe unto you if you think
that means there's no football on
campus. The yearly CSUSM Intramural Football Championships
j ust barely came to a conclusion. There was m ud. There was
glory. At, least a couple people
got kicked in the shins. All in
all, that's a great sporting event.
But what about football f or
people who are n ot, shall we
say, football-inclined? I admit,
when I watch the commentators on TV do all those " X"s and
" 0"s to explain strategy, it looks
to me like Salvador Dali playing
tic-tac-toe. How do you follow
the game when all you see are
people running back and forth
and occasionally hitting each
other? Good news. What follows
is a guide to football f or people
who d on't understand fdbtball.
Teams are on a field. I 'll save
you the in-depth description of
this since I 'm sure y ou've seen
one in person or in the movies.
The field is divided into five-yard
sections by lines. Those big numbers you see indicate how close
said line is to the goal post on
each end. On one side, we have
the o ffense. You can tell who
they are because one of them has
the ball. The guy who throws the
ball is the quarterback. The football position naming folks were
big fans of the word "back":
quarterbacks, halfbacks, fullbacks, etc. In f act, it would appear t hey're big fans of fractions
as well. Anyway, let's not get
too caught up in the names. The
main point: a center throws the
ball between his legs backwards
to the quarterback. I 'm not making this up. The quarterback then
throws the ball to a halfback or a
wide receiver. Maybe some other
players, too. Honestly, it could
be anybody. I c an't really tell,
and I 'm writing f rom personal
observation and Google. Hopefully, the "somebody" is on the
quarterback's team. If h e's not,
i t's called an interception, meaning someone f rom the other side
intercepted the ball. You can tell
when an interception happens, because there will usually be a lot of
angry people on and off the field,
and the coach of the offense team
will appear to be cussing. He may
appear to be cussing quite a i nt.

Opposite the offense, you have
the defense. You can tell when
t hey're playing because usually
two members of the crowd will
hold up a letter " D" and a cardboard f ence. I 'm not making
this u p, either. Also, the defense
is easy to spot since they d on't
have the ball, and they d on't look
too happy about it. Everyone on this side is trying
to stop the offense f rom
moving the ball towards
the defense's goal post.
One could even say t hey're
defending it, har har har.
This can involve several
types of shenanigans, including knocking over the
guy who catches the ball,
knocking over the guy who
throws the ball, and trying
to keep guys f rom catching the ball by entrapping
them in bear hugs. Football
seems to me a pretty loving sport, all in all, with
the amount of hugging.
So what's the point?
mm
With the hugging and
knocking down, or "tack-
1
wmEBBm
ling" f or terminology f undamentalists, and running around?
Players are trying to score. Which
could be said of any sleazy club
on a Saturday night, but in this
case, the offense is trying to run
with the ball to the end of the field
the defense is trying to protect.
When thev reach this end, thev
have made a touchdown. They
will then throw the ball down,
which seems kind of rude since
some poor schmuck will have to
pick it u p, and then they dance
around. I think the game could be
spiced up by randomly dancing
on other parts of the field, but so
far, no team has taken my suggestion. A fter the touchdown, they
can score another few points by
either running the ball through the
touchdown area again, or kicking it through the goal post (the
thing that looks like a square-ish
Y at the end of the field). I guess
this part is so that the kicker on
the team will have something to
contribute to the scoring system,
instead of feeling unimportant
and developing low self-esteem.
I should probably include a
short note about a complex concept I h aven't mentioned yet. If
you ever find yourself stuck with
a football f an, and you have nothing to talk about, j ust mention special teams. I found myself once
on a date with a gentleman who
loved football. Conversation died
out, so I iust said. "How about
the Chargers' special teams, e h?"
I d idn't have to say a thing f or
the rest of the evening . Jn fact, if
you ever want to please a football
f an in your l ife, just give them a
piece of paper that says " ONE
FREE COUPON FOR LETTING
YOU TALK ABOUT SPECIAL
T EAMS." Depending on the
man or lady, this may even b e
better than an engagement ring.
So t hat's it. Sure, there are tons
of subtle nuances, and there may
be a lot of people who d on't agree
with me about the hugging part.
But this should be enough to help
you follow a game if you suddenly look u p and find yourself in
the middle of a football stadium.

NEW BOYS ON THE BLOCK: CSUSM BRINGS IN CLASSIC SPORT

CSUSM UNVEILS NEW MEN'S LACROSSE TEAM
BY MICHAEL RAWSON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Think basketball and volleyball are the only new sports
on campus? Think again.
The newest team is M en's
Lacrosse, and even though i t's
only a club, it plans to be as competitive as our NAIA-sanctioned
sports. Yes, lacrosse is more
popular on the east coast, but
hey, so are popped collars. Just
d on't try telling club President
Chase Allvord people in North
County d on't care about the sport.
"West coast lacrosse is growing at an incredible rate, and Cal
State San Marcos lacrosse will be
a strong contributor to the quality
of the game at the college level f or
years to come," he said in an email.
M en's Lacrosse joins a diverse
group of already established club
sports on campus, including soccer and surfing. Yes, there is a
soccer team and a soccer club.
Club sports borrow elements
f rom both official sports teams
and intramural sports. Like intra-
murals, they are non-sanctioned
and student-organized. Like sanctioned sports, they hold tryouts,
practice, play games against other
schools, and usually even belong
to an organized league, which f or
the lacrosse club is the Southwestern Lacrosse Conference.
Lacrosse became an official club in September, but according to Allvord, "the wheels
started turning as f ar as getting
everything together back in April.
Tryouts f or the team were
held between Sept 1 4 - 1 8 , and
Allvord said they were wildly
successful. "We had 22 guys
come out. It was great to see the
enthusiasm everyone had f or lacrosse. We are going to have another week of tryouts following
the start of the spring semester.
"There were a lot of guys who
did not know about the team in
September and want to play, so
w e're going to give them the opportunity to play in the spring."
Other clubs in the conference include large schools,
small schools, private schools
and public schools. So far the
schedule includes UC San Diego,
Marymount College, Occidental College, Concordia University, and Cal State Long Beach.
Some schools f rom the conference have had club lacrosse
f or years, but Allvord thinks his
squad is ready. "Everyone on the
team is ready f or the responsibility of representing CSUSM," he
said. "We are committed to playing high-quality lacrosse against
high-quality
competition."

SEIDENGLANZ SENDS CSUSM MEN'S SOCCER INTO A.I.I. SEMIFINALS
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
CSUSM M en's Soccer came
within inches of its 2010 season
coming to an end on Tuesday, but
the resilient Cougars battled b ack,
defeating Thomas University (GA)
3-2 in overtime to advance to the
AJJL
Tournament
Semifinals.
Fifth-seeded
C SUSM
improves to 12-3-2 on the season.
Fourth-seeded
T homas's
season ends with a 9 -6-3 record.
Whether it was the long bus ride
to Arizona or the t eam's general
youth and inexperience, CSUSM
did not come out playing their best
soccer on Tuesday. T he Cougars
conceded a goal in the second minute, getting into an early 1 -0 hole.
CSUSM
would
equalize
about h alfway through the first
half, as Jake Kaiser corner f ound
Erik Mueller, who converted
the opportunity to make it 1 -1.
The Cougars would take their
first lead in the second h alf,
thanks to one of Alex Rodriguez's
trademark throw-ins. H e's created numerous dangerous chances
throughout the season with his long
throw-ins f rom deep in opponents'
territory, and struck again, as his
throw-in was inadvertently headed
into the net by a Thomas player.
That 2-1 score held f or most of
the second h alf, but Thomas equalized with seven minutes l eft to play,
sending the contest into overtime.
A minute and a half into overtime, a Thomas player found himself alone in the box with a near
sure-thing chance to end the Cougars' season. However, he drove
his shot into the bottom of the
crossbar, and it bounced on the
goal line before being cleared o ff.
Finally, CSUSM captain Bradley
Seidenglanz would take matters into
his own hands and end the game. In
the 107th minute, Seidenglanz received the ball on the right side of the
b ox, dribbled across the top of the box,
and drove a left-footed shot past the
very strong Thomas goalkeeper and
into the back of the net, giving Coach
Ron Pulvers' squad the 3-2 win and
advancing them to the semifinals.
"We were not the better team today,
but our guys willed their way to win,"
noted Pulvers following the match.

�HOT OFF THE REEL
A REVIEW OF THE REMARKABLE TRUE STORY TURNED MOVIE " 1 2 7 HOURS"
BY MILA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"127 Hours" is a triumph of
modern filmmaking, effortlessly
displaying the endless pit of talent within director Danny Boyle
and actor James Franco. Telling the remarkably true story
of Aron Ralston, Boyle blends
heartbreaking fantasy with an
excruciatingly painful reality in a
film that has visual and emotional
resonance. Pulsating with energy,
"127 Hours" traps you beneath a
boulder and keeps you there in
the sweetest of agony as you feel
the crushing weight of desperation and the sharp sting of hope.
Danny Boyle ("Trainspot-
ting," "28 Days Later," and Academy Award winning "Slumdog
Millionaire") and Simon Beaufoy adapted Aron Ralston's autobiography, "Between a Rock
and a Hard Place," bringing
Ralston's amazing experience to
the big screen. Ralston was made
a household name when, while
hiking alone in 2003, he found
his arm trapped beneath a large
boulder, forcing him to amputate
his own forearm with a short,
dull blade. "127 Hours" beautifully brings those long excruciating days Ralston spent trapped,
with limited food and water,
to audiences around the world
as the ultimate survival story.
The way Boyle makes use of
the human senses will linger with
you long after the movie has ended, showcasing his unarguable
talent. Danny Boyle is proof that
long-lasting filmmaking, which
will inspire for decades, is possible within the Hollywood bubble. By the time the film ends you
will feel like you survived with
Ralston and that, together, you
both just accomplished something
no one else in the world ever has.
With your chest constricted from
a feeling you have no name for,
Aron Ralston's story will bury
its way into your mind, acting
as a constant reminder of human
potential and the overwhelming
beauty of the world around us.

Hellogoodbye- Would It Kill
You?- Rocket Science/Wasted
Summer
Forrest Kline is like a phoenix rose out of its ashes. Kline,
the singer and founder of Hellogoodbye, dealt with numerous
lineup changes and stands as the
remaining original member of the
band. After a lawsuit against their
previous record company, Drive
Thru records, and a few more
lineup changes, Hellogoodbye is
ready to start fresh with their second full-length album, Would It
Kill You? The first single off the
album is titled "Getting Old," but
it does not stay true to its name.
The song is as infectious as the
band's 2006 chart topper "Here

Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!.
The new album is sure to propel the band to the charts again.

Tuition rises 9 percent for fall 2012
T uition fnr Cal State San MarTuition or P al Qtat^ Qon A/To*.
cos students will rise another 9
percent next fall as the result of a
budget vote last week by the California State University Board of
Trustees.
At a raucous meeting in Long
Beach on Nov. 16 - where student
protestors disrupted the meeting
by chanting and waving signs trustees voted 9 to 6 to approve
a budget that will raise tuition by
$498 per year to $5,970 beginning in fall 2012.
CSU tuition has more than
doubled since 1999, when it
was $2,572 per student. Over
the years, tuition hikes covered
budget deficits caused by declining state support. The CSU's $2
billion budget for 2012-2013 is
smaller than the $2.14 billion
budget in 1999, even though there
are 72,000 more students attending CSU campuses today, trustees
reported.
University officials anticipate
the latest tuition increase will be
the last for the 2012-2013 school
year - even though the state may
cut the CSU budget by another
$100 million if year-end tax rev-

enues come up short.
"If they cut another $100 million from the budget, our portion
would be $2.5 million," said Cal
State San Marcos spokeswoman
Margaret Lutz. "We have some
ideas on how to keep those cuts
from negatively impacting students or instruction."
She said this may include shift-
cuts, growing class sizes and a
wage freeze caused by statewide
budget cuts.
Don Barrett, CFA chapter president at Cal State San Marcos, said
the protest drew a small crowd of
students, including a few who
joined in.
Last week, faculty at the CSU
East Bay and Domínguez Hills
campuses held a one-day strike,
the first in CFA history, Barrett
said.
"We've never struck before,"
he said. "In the past, we had to
threaten to strike to get the chancellor's office moving and this
time we felt we needed to go qn
strike. I want to be clear, the strike
was not over the lack of a contract
but over salary issues that happened over the previous contract.
The strike reflected the chancellor's decision to not treat the faculty fairly." Photo courtesy of Don Barrett

About 70 professors picketed,
chanted and danced on campus
Nov. 9 to protest long-stalled
contract negotiations with CSU
trustees.
The teachers did a flash mob

what you're trying to do to me"),

The protestors hoped to raise
awareness about contract issues
between the California State University system and the California
Faculty Association, which represents 23,000 teachers and support staff at 23 CSU campuses
statewide. The teachers have been
working without a contract since
June of last year, when the previous three-year agreement expired.

Native American H eritage Month
celebrated with new facility
Kristin Melody
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM opened the California
Indian Culture and Sovereignty
Center (CICSC), Nov. 17, in
the Social and Behavioral Science Building to facilitate Native
American activities on campus
and collaborate with California
tribes.
"There is simply no other place
in California like this one," President Karen Haynes said at the
opening speech.
November is Native American
Heritage month and the CICSC
is open to all California tribes including the 18 tribes in southern
California. It is a meeting place
for American Indian Student Association (AISA) and many other
outreach and development programs.
"With the opening of this center
we are creating a brighter future... and creating history once
again at Cal State San Marcos,"
President Haynes continued.
The CICSC addresses Native
Americans face a unique challenge in attending college as they
most often are leaving a reservation for the first time. This is the
first center dedicated to Native
Americans in the CSU system.
There are more than 10 student
members of AISA and they aim
to "create solidarity among Indian students...and to meet other
American Indians," Tommy Devers, a CSUSM Masters of Sociology student and member of the
Pauma Indian Tribe said.
"Native American peopled
dreams are just as important as
anybody else's," Chairman James
Ramos said, the first Native
American to be appointed to the
California Board of Education.
Dr. Joely Proudfit is the CICSC
director and collaborates with local tribes and tribal leaders to run
the Native American Advisory
A mountain lion was spotted on
campus Wednesday night. It was
the fourth time in five years that
the big cats have been seen on
university property.
About 10 p.m. Nov. 16, campus
police got a call from an emergency kiosk in student Lot F at
the south end of campus. When
they responded, police spotted the
mountain lion, or cougar, heading
back up into the hills near Lot F,
according to university spokeswoman, Margaret Lutz.
Lutz said it was the first time a
mountain lion had been seen on
campus since October of last year
(lions were also spotted several
times at the south end of campus
in 2007 and 2008) .
'With so much open space in
the area, we have a lot of wildlife
that comes on campus at nights
looking for food. People say
they've spotted deer. The moun^
tain lions always seem to show up
in the fall months and they usually always hunt alone," Lutz said.
Cougars are native to the area
and CSUSM's official mascot.
The campus is built on Luiseno
Indian laud. The university's
original mascot was Tukwut, cougar, in Luiseno.
Although there's never been
a dangerous encounter between
a mountain lion and students or
faculty, Lutz said the California
Department of Fish and Game is
advising students to avoid walking alone on campus at night. If
you encounter a mountain lion,
do not run (because it will trigger the cat's instinct to chase) but
stand your ground, wave your
arms and make noise to scare it
off. If a lion is spotted, call campus police from a kiosk or from a
cell phone at 760-750-4567.
Council, the only one of its kind
in the CSU system. In six months,
the CICSC and its partners developed a Luiseno language learning
program for the Nintendo DSI.
The center has resources including workstations, offices and
research capabilities to focus on
concerns and issues regarding
tribes or Native American students.
"I joined to help out the youth
and reach out," CSUSM student

Internationally-acclaimed poet reads at CSUSM
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
Poet Clayton Eshleman was
featured as the last part of the
fall semester's Community and
World Literary Series (CWLS)
on Thursday.
Professor Mark Wallace introduced Eshleman with much
praise as having been at the heart
of American poetry since the early 1960s.
Eshleman has contributed to the
literary world through his own
poetic production and the trans-
lating of poems from poets Cesar
Vallejo, Pablo Neruda and Henri
Michaux.
Eshleman took the stage and announced that he would be reading
nine poems from his book "Anticline," thefirstpoem a recounting
of an experience he and his wife
had in Italy.
Following the first poem, he
shared that he has been translating poetry as long as he has been
reading and writing it.
Between poems, Eshleman
would often share anecdotes and
personal trivia which gave the audience a perspective into his nature as a writer.
"I write a lot of poems about art
or artists," he said, sharing how
if he had been turned to the left
or right, he would have been a
painter.
Eshleman's reading of his poetry often felt conversational,
especially in the literal sense during his last reading, a dialogue
between himself and the artist
Max Ernst. His imagery, at times
graphic, led to much laughter in
F eatures
the audience, as well as the occasional audible "Wow!" Even
Eshleman laughed through some
his own words as he read.
During the Questions and Answers portion, topics approached
included when Eshleman started
writing, his view of surrealism,
thoughts on the future of publishing houses in the internet age and
the importance and influence of
travel.
Dr. Wallace, who headed the
series, felt that this semester's
CWLS was beneficial for students
because he brought in writers normal literary exposure.
The CWLS will begin again in

No Shave November for a c ause P rofessor S potlight
Helps raise money for cancer research
Melissa Martinez
Pride Staff Writer
Ever wondered why men seem to neglect
their beards during the winter? Maybe as
their way of staying warm or in honor of a
tradition called No Shave November.
On Oct. 31, dedicated men shaved their
beards for the last time to grow out for the
duration of November. Most
men decide to grow out their
facial hair to support prostate
cancer awareness month. The
goal is to embrace hair and
let it grow to unimaginable
lengths. Since most cancer
patients lose their hair to
chemotherapy
treatments,
non-shavers can donate the
money they would normally spend to
maintain their hair to cancer research. No
Shave November is less expensive than
shaving every couple of days and is tax
deductible.
According to the National Cancer Institute website,. prostate cancer is "cancer
that forms in tissues of the prostate, usu-
ally occurring in older men."
In the United States, there were approximately 240,890 new cases and 33,720
deaths in 2011. There are many organizations funding research to cure prostate
cancer, such as "ZERO—The Project to
End Prostate Cancer."
ZERO is a charity that not only wants to
reduce prostate cancer, but end the disease
entirely. Their main goal is
to lengthen the lives of men
who were diagnosed with
prostate cancer by providing them with treatment to
cure their cancer, manage
their illness and have a life
that doesn't involve constant treatment to try and
end their suffering.
This particular organization offers ways
to help raise prostate cancer awareness
as well as promote early diagnosis by offering free testing. It also gives patrons a
chance to support organizations such as
"The Great Prostate Cancer Challenge &
DASH FOR DAD," a national race series.

Downloading the effects of drugs
Controversy rises over sound waves that give feeling of being high
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
Websites such as idosing.org, idoser.com and i-dose.us are selling audio tracks which provide
the listener with similar side effects of taking specific drugs.
These listening experiences are
known as "sonic drugs" and "idosing."
According to nbclosangeles.
com, "Sonic drugs work through
binaural beats ~ the playing of
two slightly different tones and
frequencies into both ears simultaneously/'
Many sites, including i-dose.us,
provide online shoppers with the
ability to purchase audio tracks
appropriately titled to the effects
they have on the listener. Some
tracks offered on the site include
"Deep Sleep" which is said to
help wijth sleep-related disorders,
"Quit Smoking" which helps the
listener to quit smoking and "Stop
Alcohol Abuse" which helps the
listener treat alcoholism.
While some tracks assist in
treating disorders and addictions,
there are also other websites
which offer audio experiences
that provide the effects of stimulants, both legal and illegal. Experts are advising caution when
approaching these audio tracks .
"It's not like you listen to an
i-dose for crack cocaine and the
next day you're smoking a crack
pipe [...] But I do think that if
you have an impressionable 13
- 14-year-old kid that does an idose, it may drop their inhibition
if they're presented with the real
drug to try it," addictions specialist Dr. Gregory Smith said in an
interview with Colleen Williams
of NBCLA.
One website that offers this legal listening experience is i-doser.com. Some of the MP3 tracks
sold on the site provide the listener with the effects of anti-depressants, inspiration and confidence.
However, some tracks are named
after and provide the listener with
the effects of illegal substances
including marijuana, cocaine and
LSD.

Seven out of ten Americans
claim Christmas as their favorite
holiday according to an Associated Press poll.
Well, that poll was conducted in

Sorry if that mislead you. However, I feel a little mislead by inferred holiday statistics, too.
Apparently, 100 percent of
Americans begin celebrating
Christmas before Halloween. At
least, that's what retailers seem
to claim. Some stores' Christmas
layaway began in October; so of
course, the deals begin by then.
Of course, your family has a large

Making Thanksgiving
Doholroh Hroon
Rebekah Green
Pride Staff Writer
In "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,"
Sally Brown said, "Why should I give
thanks on Thanksgiving? What have I got
to be thankful for?"
Unlike Sally, it's not hard for me to think
about what I 'm thankful for. I'm grateful
for my family, my friends, etc. I 'm thankful for the things I have. And the times
when I'm not cramming on multiple papers due in the same week, I'm thankful
for the opportunity I have to be in college.
Being thankful isn't the only thing people
do on Thanksgiving though (not to say that
we shouldn't be thankful any other day of
the year). It is also a time for people take
part in nationwide traditions and more personal traditions that transcend generations.
-Let's face it. When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of food. Needless to say,
food is a big deal - or rather, it becomes a
big deal, especially once the holiday season
rolls around. Foodconsumer.org weighs
some statistics: practically two-thirds of
turkey from the U.S. last year originate
from just six states (with Minnesota as
the winner at 47 million) and 735 million
pounds of cranberries were produced in
the U.S. in the same year. Food consuming aside, Thanksgiving's traditions differ
from household to household, but many
remain almost universal in the U.S.
If there is a football fan present within
the house, that television will be on for the
game. If you aren't watching football and
you aren't able to attend in person, you're
probably watching the annual Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade, held in New
York City, on NBC or CBS. Some people
are just anxious for Christmas tofinallyarrive. Others are just too stuffed to do anything.
Thanksgiving has come a long way since
the 1600s, and I for one am glad that so
many people have made it unique to.their
own personal traditions and meanings. It
doesn't matter what you do for Thanksgiving or who you do it with. So don't worry
if you don't have an actual turkey, if you
can't stand football, if you forgot about the
parade or if none of these apply to what
you do. The heart of the matter is to make
memories that will stick for years.to come
and to take time to appreciate your life*.
You. don't have to think hard to answer
Sally Brown's question. There is always
something to be thankful for.

November makes m e nostalgic, but not just
for music of my distant past. These songs
may not seem like they belong together a t
first listen, but e ach track gives a sense of
memory, love, loss a nd hope.
A rcade Fire's "Rebellion (ties)" depicts how
sleep c an b e a n excuse to get a way from
the realities of our lives. It fits well with the
themes that I get from their album Funeral
- the dramatic a nd often sad switch from
childhood to adulthood a nd how the w ay
w e see things b ack then seem to twist
around completely as w e get older. It's definitely nostalgic a nd emotional but still keeps
some of the heaviness u pbeat a nd fun.
Feist's " 12 3 4" manages to sound happy
a nd almost playful while dealing with issues

Coldplay's "Paradise" sparks a sense of

the dazzling introduction of 3D to the mix.
Saints Row: The Third (PC PS3, Xbox 360)
"Saints Row: The Third" gives players the opportunity to become the leader of a gang
called the Third Street Saints. Players arrive in
the city of Steelport seeking to claim it for the
Third Street Saints. This entry in the series adds
experience points and leveling to give characters different perks. The game's over-thetop action and humor makes "Saints Row: The
Third" an interesting buy for those looking to
have some sandbox style fun.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations (PS3, Xbox 360)
This installment of the Assassin's Creed series
sees the return of thefirstmain character Altaic
as well as Ezio and Desmond. Players will travel
to exotic locations such as Constantinople and
Cappadocia in an attempt to link memories
and uncover the history of a bloodline. "Revelations" also introduces new weapons such
as the hookblade and creatable bombs.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)
In this entry of the classic Legend of Zelda series, Link hails from the floating city of Skyloft.
There, he finds the Skyward Sword and sets out
on a journey to the land beneath Skyloft in order to cleanse it of the evil monsters that thrive
there. Skyward Sword utilizes the Wii Motion

Editor In Chief
On weekend nights, the doors at
SOMA open to fans of a range of
musical acts from the more mainstream such as Dashboard Confessional, Panic! At the Disco, and
Thrice to up-and-coming acts like
Forever the Sickest Kids and Boys
Like Girls. For local bands, getting
the opportunity to perform at this
hidden venue located across from
the San Diego Sports Arena is a
big step upfromjam sessions in the
garage. This Friday, Oct. 23, two of
CSUSM's very,own will perform
with the rest oftheir band, Trains and
Clouds, as the headliners at SOMA'S
next show.
The band's current four-man roster
includes CSUSM's Philip "Felipe"
Macias on guitar and Ben RofTee on
bass, with locals Drew "Drewski"
Carillo on drums and Jonny Paine
on piano and vocals.
Trains and Clouds originated back
in 2007 when current members,
Carillo and Paine, teamed up with
two other long-time friends, Isaac
Zagunis and Olin Brown. With the
band formation complete, they went
straight into writing music, developing a distinct sound. In typical fashion, however, the group had yet to
come up with a name.
During a brainstorming session,
one member asked the others what
they each liked doing.
"One of us said 'Stare into the
clouds,' while another answered, 'I
like to think and gather my thoughts
on trainrides,'so we put two and two
together and came up with Trains
and Clouds' representing thought or
the thinking process," said Carillo.
Shortly after the band began performing at venues such as SOMA,
Zagunis and Brown opted out of the
band. Remaining members, Carillo
and Paine, later added Macias and
RofFee to the revised group.
"When Jon told me that Trains and
Clouds was looking for a bassist, I
asked them if I could try out,"
said Roffee. "I didn't have any
real experience as a bassist
and only very minimal
bass equipment
but things went well and the rest, as
they say, is history."
Though Trains and Clouds' Facebook page categories the band into
the Indie/Alternative/Pop genre, the
band members themselves are hesitant to define their sound.
"I would describe the sound of
Trains and Clouds as a mixture
of themes rather than a handful
of genres. To me, genres are silly
because they are often times pinned
to a certain lifestyle or counterculture," said Macias. "When that happens, fens seem to alienate themselvesfromgenres of music because
„theyiJon^
associated with those who do look
the part"
As a guitarist, Macias' technical influences include John Mayer,
Jesse Barrera (My American Heart),
Justin Shekoski (Saosin), and Jonathan Paine.
"In our music, there is a synthesis
of a lot of different influences into
something that is straightforward and
relentlessly melodic. We're not some
forcefully abstract, self-professed
'experimental' pretentious indie rock
band," said Roffee. "There is something natural and communicative in
the way we write and it seems like a
lot of people have an easy time connecting to our music. We make no
apologies for ambiguities in describing our music, there is so much more
explained in the process of discovering it than we could ever try to iterate
in words."
This emerging band, with tracks
such as "Oh Sailor" and "Sketch
Alley Memorial," promises to show
the crowd a good time this Friday.
"Our music is for everybody.
We try to create music for all age
groups and tunes that people want
to hear over again," says Macias.
"The songs we write together are
our favorite songs, so it's even more
enjoyable when we can share them
with an audience."

"People should come out to the
show because we are a band that fills
the room with our energy," said Carillo. "If you enjoy a good live stow
we definitely recommend coming
out to our show this Friday"
According to its website, SOMA

how to market and progress through
the industry while offering a safe and
energetic environment for those
SOMA prides itself on exposing the
community, especially local youth,
to music and entertainment in a drug

The venue also supports various
charities including "Stand Up Fear

on to benefit "Homeless Teens of

As exciting as this is on a

games, it also harkens to science fiction horror. The actual
device looks eerily similar to
HAL9000, the homicidal and
psychotic computer system
from the Stanley Kubrick
film, "2001: A Space Odyssey." Or if this got combined
with robots we may find ourselves in the apocalyptic
world prescribed by the "Terminator" series.
Yet nothing about this
device is scarier than the idea
of the government using it to
monitor and subdue the population in a f uture similar to
George Orwell's "1984."
For now, I am counting
down until Project Natal hits
shelves for consumer use. If
you have not already, look
into the videos of this device
and try to tell me this toy is
not going to spawn either a

T HE P RIDE
W ill work for food... until D ecember
BY MATT LEWIS
Faces & Places Editor
The f all season is already
upon us, and for most students
at CSUSM, with f all comes
the need for money. Not j ust
the money needed to cover all
the increased tuition f ees for
next semester, but money for
all the extraneous needs of the
"holiday" season, like Halloween costumes, C hristmas presents, and Winter break vacations. Many students already
have p art time j obs, but for
those who are f ull-time students and need some extra
cash for the holidays, there is
always the option of seasonal
work. When "seasonal j obs"
are mentioned, the immediate
thought for most of us is the
guy waving signs for costume
stores on the street corner. But
the reality is that a number of
retailers look for extra workers around this time to handle
the increased customer volumes, and most don't involve
wearing rubber masks.
Probably the number one
source of seasonal work comes
f rom food retailers. Don't f ind
the idea of f lipping burgers too
appealing? T hat's okay; many
places like Starbucks and local
grocery stores o ffer viable
alternatives and need people
to help during the rush of
Thanksgiving/Christmas customers. Positions like bagger
or cashier may not seem that
glamorous, but when in need
of extra income there is little
room to complain. Also, local
pumpkin patches that spring
up along San Marcos Boulevard are good places to f ind
work because they inevitably
become Christmas t ree lots,
insuring a position up until
December. Not to mention the
bevy of stores, both food and
otherwise, in local malls that
need extra employees for the
holiday r ush.
Food, however, is not everyone's idea of ideal work,
even in temporary situations.
During the month of October,
quite a few people apply to
the Halloween costume superstores that seem to be springing up in the wake of stores
like Circuit City and Mervyns
closing for good. But there are
plenty of year-round retailers looking for p art-timers as
well, most notably electronics
stores like RadioShack, where
employees haves the chance to
earn more than hourly wages
with commission sales.
In addition, big chain clothing stores in local malls and
outdoor plazas, like JCPenney, Macys, and Nordstrom
"-^•j.1
o ffer seasonal work that can
lead to promotions and higher
positions as time goes on. "I
started out here as a cashier
last November," said Chelsea
Pratt, a CSUSM sophomore
who works at the Nordstrom in
the Westfield Mall at Escondido. "It was j ust as a parttime cashier at f irst, but now
I 'm a part-time manager. So
yeah, part-time j obs can d efinitely lead to opportunities to
d ealing with rude customers
and t heir kids all day? And
on t he f lip side, you may find
something you really enjoy
doing and want to continue for
t he remainder of your time at
school. So if money's tight for
you t his early into Fall, it may
be t ime to bite the bullet and
look for something that f its in
with your school schedule. But
be warned: don't expect to get
Holidays off.
advance."
Not a lot of these " jobs"
sound like a dream come t rue,
but hey, they are only t emporary. If a nything, your experiences can be the f uel t hat
f ires you to work harder in
school and f ind your career.
What could be better motivation to reach for that higher
j ob position than the memory
of coming home late every
night, smelly and t ired f rom

Men's and Women's cross-country win at Cougar Challenge!
October 1 7,2009
Hundreds of r unners and
spectators descended upon
Mangrum Track & Soccer Field
on Saturday and watched as the
CSUSM men's and women's
cross-country teams won the
2009 Cougar 5K/8K Challenge!
The event, which is p art of the
USATF Dirt Dawg Series, took
place on a winding course that
started on Mangrum Field and
led runners through the University's " front yard," around
the dirt parking lots, up Craven
Drive, and back onto the f ield.
Entry was open to everyone, as
local runners competed with
collegiate teams f rom California Baptist, Soka Univer-
sity, Southwestern (AZ), and of
course Cal State San Marcos.
In the 5k competition, the
#2-ranked Cougar squad carried the collegiate race, taking
spots 1 through 7. The team
f inished in a group led by
Dallon Williams, who timed
in at 18:08. Cady Villarrpal
and Whitney Patton f inished
in 18:09, Lindsey McKown at
18:10, Jessica Sandoval at 18:19,
Kelly Thompson at 18:20, and
J ennifer Albright at 18:30.
Also
competing
f or

Cougars
were
Suzanne Scrimenti (9th; 18:34),
Melissa Olmos (10th; 18:54),

CSUSM f inished with a team
score of 15 - the best possible
score in cross-country. Cal
Baptist f inished second with a
score of 50, and Soka finished
third with a score of 83.
Overall in the 5k competition, the race was won by Joey
Bonfiglio with a time of 17:26.
Former Cougar All-American
Anne Marie Byrne finished
s econd at 17:33, and an A llAmerican f rom last season,
Morgan Sjogren, took fourth at
17:57.
The men's 8K collegiate competition was much more tense,
as the Cougars pulled out a
narrow win over Cal Baptist.
Led by Muluken Beressa and
Dave Williams, who finished
first and second, respectively,
CSUSM pulled out a team 24 to
31 win over CBU.
Beressa posted a blistering time of 24:39 to finish first
among collegiate runners in the
8K, and Edwards was not far
behind with an excellent 24:53.
Chris Capeau took 4th with a
time of 25:30, Chris Strasheim
was 7th at 26:05, and Bernardo
Bahena finished 10th at 26:32.
The sixth and seventh spots on
the team were occupied by Patrick Fitzgerald (11th; 26:38) and

W omen's g olf finished 7th at Aztec Fall Classic
October 13, 2009
CSUSM women's golf finished out play at the Aztec
Fall Classic with a strong team
round on Tuesday, finishing J t h
overall at the tournament, j ust
one shot behind Idaho State.
The two-round tournament,
which was hosted by San Diego
State on Salt Creek Golf Course
in Chula Vista, featured six
NCAA schools and the Cougars. Playing with j ust four
players, the Cougars shot a
team round of 339 on Tuesday,
four shots better than Monday's
343, for a total of 682. Cal State
Northridge won the event with a
team total of 595.
Leading the way for CSUSM
was once again Stephanie Cole.
The sophomore shot 80 on Tuesday a fter Monday's 79, giving
her a final score of +15 (189),
good for 18th place in the field.
Second on the team was
Ellyse Siu, who shot back-toback 81's to finish tied for 19th
with a 162. Roxanne Mejia shot
85-82 to tie for 25th, and Jennifer Conway shot 98-96 to finish
40th.
Northridge's Ashlee Nagamine won the individual competition with a score of 146.
was j ust one mistake or bad
bounce away f rom losing.
But in the 85th minute, Bradley Seidenglanz hit a ball into
the box, and Brandon Zuniga
f inally found the back of the
net with a header. That would
prove to be the game winner,
as CSUSM escaped with a 1-0
win.
" The team is w illing t heir
way to win," commented Pulvers.
Keeper Kevin Ernst was
rarely tested and made one
save to pick up the shutout.
CSUSM will be in action t his
Friday at Soka.
M en's soccer escapes La Sierra with 1-0 win
October 18, 2009
It w asn't easy, but Cougar
men's soccer battled through
tough playing conditions and
f inally found the back of the
net to e arn a 1-0 v ictory a La
Sierra University.
The win improves t he Cougars to 8-5 on the year. La
Sierra f alls to 4 -8.
Sunday's contest had all the
makings of a t rap game for
the Cougars, who have been
r iding high since a 1-0 s tart.
The squad was coming off an
emotional, dominating 5-1 win
on Senior Day and playing on
the road against a team with
a losing record - all ingredients for a potential let-down.
CSUSM came out f iring, generating t hree very dangerous
early chances but narrowly
missing on all of them.
The game would continue
like that, and CSUSM Coach
Ron Pulvers knew his squad

Karen O and the Kids
BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
Where the Wild Things Are
came to theatres last Friday, Oct.
16. Unlike many people I know,
I'm very impartial to the new film.
Luckily, talking about the movie is
not necessary when talking about
the soundtrack.
I might need to talk about it a
little bit though, seeing as how
this adaptation of a nearly 50-yearold, ten sentence book is a sort of
magnet for indie culture.
That would be a groundless
assumption if it weren't for the
music. Karen O of Yeah Yeah
Yeahs wrote the majority of the
soundtrack. Spike Jonze, her
former boyfriend, directed the film
and commissioned her to write a
soundtrack that reflected the innocent, yet distantly dark tone that,
according to Jonze, he wanted to
achieve.
The band Karen O put together,
Karen O and the Kids, includes
Dean Fertita and Jack Lawrence of
The Dead Weather, Greg Kurstin of
The Bird and the Bee, Yeah Yeah
Yeahs bandmates Brian Chase and
Nick Zinner, Bradford Cox of Deer-

Imaad Wasif of New Folk Implosion, Oscar Michel of Gris Gris, and
Aaron Hemphill of Liars.
I don't think you need me to tell
you this is an epic record. Now, I
haven't actually seen the movie, so
I unfortunately can't explain how it
contributed to the film's message
or atmosphere or anything like
that. Unlike many soundtracks,
this one is able to stand alone as
what might as well be Karen O and
the Kids' debut album (that's code
for "I hope they end up making
another one").
The first single of the 14-track
album, "All is Love," was digitally released at the end of August,
while the album didn't drop until
nearly a month later. The feel of
the music is not entirely different from anything any of these
artists have released before, but
it does have a certain vulnerability absent from the more in-yourface Karen O style.
Karen O does most of the lead
vocals that double and triple over
more subtle male voices. Though
riddled with tambourines and
animalistic screams, the songs
are focused enough to produce a
successful series of fresh tracks.
In a perfect world, Karen O
and the Kids will keep making
music like what they've made
here without the incentive of
backing a major motion picture.
Until that world is realized, these
wild tunes will help your imagination bridge the proverbial gap.

Students
move to
freeze
tuition
increase
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
The decades long trend of
unbridled tuition increases in
the California State University
and University of California
may soon come to a halt. Over
the past five years, tuition has
increased in the CSU and UC
system by 94 percent and 84 percent, respectively.
For lower, working, and now
even middle class California
students, a college education is
quickly becoming afleetingaspiration, as many are being priced
out of college. A new "groundbreaking" student movement
could change all of that.
California students made legislative history on Nov. 14, filing
the first-ever student-led ballot
initiative to freeze tuition in the
CSU and UC systems. If passed,
the initiative would suppress
any further tuition increases for
the next five years and would
not permit subsequent tuition
increases to surpass the rate of
inflation.

of the 2008 Brakebill Distinguished Professor Award.
The highest faculty honor
awarded at CSUSM, the Brakebill award is granted annually to

derives its name from former
executive vice chancellor of
the Cal State University, Harry

CSU Board of Trustees submit
2 008/09 budget proposal
Student fees slated to increase in near future
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
On Nov. 13-14, the CSU Board
of Trustees met in an open session to review the preliminary
draft of a state budget request
for the 2008/09 CSU academic
year.
During the brief plenary
meeting on Nov. 13, the Trustees
implemented an ad hoc committee to review last week's state
audit issues on CSU executive
compensation. The temporary
committee will report to the
Trustees during their Jan. 22-23
meeting in Long Beach.
The Trustees also established
a budget request asking Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger for
state funding for the 2008/09
school year. The governor will
announce his proposed budget
for the state of California by
Jan. 10. The budget request also
called for another 10 percent
student fee increase in the CSU
system.

"The legislature and the governor don't always make things

happen," said campaign director
Chris Vaeth in a conference call
with student reporters on Nov. 13.
Having submitted the initiative,
the group will wait on the Attorney General to draft the official
title and summary to appear on
the petition forms. Volunteers will
then collect signatures from January all the way up to the April 17,
2008 deadline. In order to make
the ballot for the November 2008
elections, the group will be forced
to collect over 400,000 signatures
by the April deadline.
According to Valeria Fike-Rosales, a lead organizer for the group,
Tuition Relief Now has compiled
a database of over 1500 interested on-campus organizations,
"creating a large volunteer base
throughout the UC and C SU"
"Because this campaign is
volunteer-driven, we have really
been trying to increase student
organizing on each of these campuses in addition to reaching
out to community colleges, high
school students, parent organizations, and other community
organizations that would have a
vested interest in this campaign,"
said Rosales.
Although the group has made
an effort to reach out to the UC
and CSU faculty unions, according to Vaeth, "they haven't taken a
position." However, Vaeth maintained that there have been discussions with the two groups on the
matter.
"I think once this initiative is
filed, it will start to shake out...
where people place themselves in
support of the initiative and then
what they put towards it in terms
of volunteers and resources.
While the advantages to students are clear, Vaeth asserted that
there is also a "corollary benefit"
offered by the initiative. Anyone
who signs the petition for the initiative must be a registered voter,
a challenge that the group will
meet by offering on-the-spot voter
registration. As a result, Vaeth
claims, "we anticipate registering at least 100,000 new, young

initiatives, applied research in
agriculture, biotechnology, fresh
water and marine studies, conducting a teacher performance
assessment to meet the requirements of SB1209, and expanding
enrollment in CSU nursing programs.
Under the Higher Education
Compact, CSU should see enrollment growth of 2.5 percent,
which translates to approximately
445,000 students. However, CSU
is expecting an additional 4,000
students in the 2008/09 year. So
far, those 4,000 students are not
funded in the budget, spelling
out more financial trouble if universities do not receive additional
funding from the state.
The budget also calls for a three
percent ($91.1 million) compensation increase for faculty and staff
as well as a 2.83 percent increase
($86 million) to address faculty
and staff salary lags. According
to the California Postsecondary
Education Commission, the CSU
faculty salary lag is at 12.9 percent.
"This budget request positions
the CSU to maintaining access
and academic quality," said CSU
Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "We
are asking the state to fund enrollment growth, provide revenue
to avoid an increase in student
fees, and support compensation
increases that will help the system
make progress toward its goal of
paying market-competitive salaries for faculty and staff."

Chargers lose in Jacksonville,
remain in first place
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
The Chargers came into Sunday's
contest with the Jacksonville Jaguars
looking to capitalize on their momentum a fter a huge victory over one of
the league's best teams. Last Sunday,
despite having a horrific second half, the
Chargers managed to defeat the then 7-1
Indianapolis Colts in a brisk and soggy
night at Qualcomm.
The Chargers fortunes were not the
same on Sunday, as they traveled to the
east coast to take on the injury prone Jaguars in a game that had playoff implications for both teams.
Jaguars quarterback, David Garrard
started his first game in nearly a month,
after coming back from a high ankle
sprain suffered in their October 22nd game
against Indianapolis. Garrard pleased the
home crowd, completing 15 of 24 passes
for 189 yards and two touchdowns.
The Jaguars put up the first points of
the game thanks to a 48-yard Josh Scobee
field goal.
Jacksonville scored again with 40 seconds remaining in the first quarter as running back, Maurice Jones-Drew rushed
for a one-yard touchdown.
The Chargers scored their first points at

the ten minute point in the second quarter,
on a-23-yard Nate Kaeding field goal.
Jacksonville quarterback, David Garrard passed to wide receiver, Reggie
Brown through the middle for a 36-yard
touchdown, bringing the Jaguars lead to
17-3 at halftime.
LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for six
yards to the right for a touchdown at the
beginning of third quarter, bringing the
Chargers within seven points, only for
Jacksonville to strike again, this time on
a David Garrard to Marcedes Lewis oneyard touchdown pass.
The Chargers got their only passing
touchdown with five minutes left in the
fourth quarter. Philip Rivers passed to
Antonio Gates through the middle for 24
yards.
Jacksonville's defense held the Chargers through the rest of game, resulting
in a 24-17 victory, knocking the Chargers
off track, and leaving them questioning
their future in the playoffs.
The Jaguars are now 7-3 on the
season.
The loss brings the Chargers to a record
of 5-5, however, they still remain in first
place in the AFC West.
The Chargers come back home next
Sunday to face the 4-6 Baltimore Ravens

Online Chistmas shopping a SQlution for those who detest crowded malls
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
With the holiday season right
around the corner, more and
more shoppers are avoiding the
headaches, stress and hassle of
traditional shopping—and t urning to the web to make purchases.
O nline sales t his holiday
s eason are expected to total
between $45 billion to $50 billion, t his is a considerable
increase in sales f rom 2006, in
which totals reached $34 billion.
The holiday shopping season
spans f rom the middle of November, up u ntil C hristmas day.
Shoppers are d rawn to online
shopping mainly through the
benefits of f ree shipping and
the ability to locate the cheapest
price on an item in a relatively
short amount of time.
Among the f rontrunners f or
this holiday season's shopping
websites are eBay.com, A mazon,
com, Overstock.com, and Shopzilla.com.
One of the most recognizable
names on the internet is eBay.
Since its inception in 1995, eBay,
com has become a top ten website in A merica based on hits,
eBay is unique to many of the
other e -commerce sites, d ueto its
use of online auctions that amass
the m ajority of sales on the website. eBay is also unique in that
the basis is for their service is to
serve as the middle-man, connecting sellers to buyers, rather
than directly selling products.
Founded in 1994, Amazon,
com was one of the first companies to sell goods on the web.
Dependability and longevity
o ffers A mazon users a sense of
security. A mazon began as an
online bookstore, and has since
evolved to f eature a nything f rom
music, to clothing, to b ulk g roceries.
O verstock.com f eatures some
of t he lowest p rices on t he web.
Overstock sells s urplus, u sed
and new items, and calls itself
" your o nline outlet." Overstock's new items have b een
said to set p rice s tandards, and
are t ypically t he c heapest of any
of t he m ajor o nline shopping
websites.
Shopzilla.com is one of the
most u seful tools when it comes
to shopping on the internet.
Shopzilla, formerly BizRate,
aggregates items f rom thousands of online stores to create
one comprehensive search that
allows users to find the best
price available. Shopzilla c laims
to "enable shoppers to quickly
and easily find, compare, and
buy anything, sold by v irtually
anyone, anywhere."
For some, there is no bigger
t hrill than to physically hunt f or
deals and fend o ff savage b argain
hunters on Black Friday, but the
f acts still r emain, e -commerce
is on the rise, and it is showing
no signs of slowing down.

Under the leadership of
Dr. Mtafiti Imara, Associate
Professor of Music, the two
ensembles are looking to fill
in their r anks with willing
and able musicians.
"We want to get as many
musicians to come out and
try-out as possible," said
Dr. Imara. However, he
also maintained, " "we want
musicians who do have some
experience."
With the Jazz ensemble in
particular, Dr. Imara emphasized, "although improvisation is a big part of [Jazz],
but we do want people who
can read music as well."
Like any music group,
interested candidates must
t ry out and validate themselves in order to j oin either
ensemble. Dr. Imara also
noted, "it is a competitive
t hing...it's not unlike the
track team or the baseball
team."
While the group does
demand a solid musical
background, they are also
looking to embrace a diverse
instrumental arrangement.
"We're looking for all
instrumental musicians. It
doesn't have to be a traditional Jazz ensemble, it can
b e strings, it can be violin, it
can b e any k ind of orchestral
instrument."
According to Dr. Imara,
they plan to play at various j azz festivals, schools,
churches, and two unspecified venues in San Diego.
Students can also look forward to seeing the two
ensembles playing in and
around campus next semester.
Interested students can
contact Dr. Imara by telephone at (760) 750-8007
to arrange a try-out. The
Jazz Ensemble meets in
ARTS 116 on Monday and
Wednesday f rom 1:00 p.m.
to 2:30 p.m. and the Vocal
Ensemble meets in ARTS
111 on Monday and Wednesday f rom 11:30 a.m. to 12:45
p.m.
Dr. Imara urges those
interested to contact him as
soon as possible so they can
begin practicing for next
semester.

November is Native
American Month
CSUSM's Native population has a place to congregate and give back
BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER
Pride Staff Writer
The American Indian Students Association (AISA) is a CSUSM organization where
students are involved in this months' celebration of Native Americans, as well a s
activities throughout the year that celebrate
and honor Natives in our community.
As a part of CSUSM, AISA strives to
educate students about Native culture and
facilitate leadership opportunities for Native
American students. The AISA is involved
in cultural events and conferences at high
schools and colleges within the community.
AISA participates in Intertribal Alliances
and organizes fundraisers for Native and
non-native communities.
The purpose statement for AISA is to
"increase awareness and acceptance of
American Indian Culture and to promote the
educational experience of American Indians
on campus by fostering a positive multicultural interaction both in and outside of the
classroom."
AISA provides spiritual leadership and
spiritual events for Natives on campus.
They have both a male and female spiritual
advisor that students are welcome to contact
for guidance.
Most recently, AISA is organizing a fundraiser for a plaque to name Tukwut courtyard. The courtyard was renamed from
Craven Courtyard to Tukwut Courtyard ear-
lier this year and the AISA would like
to provide a plaque to signify the name
change.
In cooperation with the Tribal task
force, AISA is accepting donations of
household items for the 29 La Jolla families that Jost their home in the recent
fires. XlSA is also hosting a Thanksgiving Dinner for those families at Pauma
Casino.
People who are interested in making
cash or household donations are encouraged to contact Claudia McCraine at
mccra009@csusm.edu to make their
donations. Check out the AISA's web
site http://www.csusm.edu/aisa/ for more
information on activities throughout the
year to get involved in.
The AISA is participating in are a
sweat lodge and potluck ceremony in
Alpine ori Dec 1. The potluck is a celebration of the Cherokee winter ceremony
to "honor the long night's sleep of the
bear." The ceremony starts at 3 p.m. and
the sweat lodge at 4 p.m. Participants are
encouraged to bring a side dish or beverage and a stuffed bear to donate to local
children.
AISA will be joining in a drum circle
in Norco on Nov 24. The AISA has many
opportunities for students who would
like to understand more about their own
native culture or become knowledgeable
of Native culture.

count of obstruction of justice and

The lies range from not knowingly taking steroids and lying
about being injected with steroids

Greg Anderson. Anderson, who

The Bank credits Mexican food
as an Old Town favorite
BY JACKIE CARBA JAL
Pride Staff Writer
Choosing the right dining
locale should never be a stressful event. If you're in the mood
for traditional Mexican food and
are looking for a little history
with your meal, look no further
than The Bank of Mexican Food
in Temecula.
Don't let the name fool
you. This doesn't involve the
exchange of chimichangas for
burritos and food, albeit good
food, is not considered currency
in Temecula.
The Bank is simply your typical 'hole in the wall' nestled deep
in the heart of Temecula's Old
Town Front Street. The building, constructed in 1914, served
originally as The First National
Bank of Temecula. After enduring a foiled robbery attempt in
1930, closure during WWII, and
a short run as an antique shop,
The Bank was refurbished into
a Mexican style restaurant in
1978.
Priding itself as the second
oldest restaurant in Temecula,
the newly remodeled eatery still
maintains t he ambiance of the
Old West.
Guests receive nothing short
of attentive service upon walking through the double paneled
doorway of the quaint building
with its high ceilings and Mexican art adorned walls. On a
warm day, patio seating is available with the view of not only
other Old Town buildings, but
also a fountain waterfall.
Upon seating, the server will
bring out tortilla chips and dipping salsa. As tasty as it may be,
take caution in filling up on this
complimentary appetizer.
Meals range in price from
$3.45 quesadillas to $11.95 carnitas or carne asada. The menu
offers combination platters of
up to three traditional Mexican
entrees for $8.95.
If you consider ordering the
El Banco burrito, I suggest
requesting the salsa to a minimum unless you prefer soup in
your burrito. The carne asada
burrito is a great choice. If you
prefer your burritos packed with
goodness, make sure you fill it

up with the beans and rice that
come with the plate.
Drinks offered include Old
Town Bottled Root beer, Horchata and Margaritas. Each
entrée comes with rice and
beans and select entrees include
The Bank's signature guacamole in a decadent miniature
tortilla shell.
The Bank's historical significance and one of a kind featuresguests have the option of dining
in the exclusive bank vault-will
stay with you long after the
fullness in your tummy subsides. If you remember to limit
your chip and salsa intake and
keep your combination plate to
a minimum, you may still have
room for one of the three dessert
options offered.
Aside from the choices of flan
and deep fried ice cream, the
$2.25 churro definitely takes the
cake(so to speak). Filled inside
with custard and served with
whipped cream, The Bank's
churro is a far cry from your
typical amusement park treat.
With this restaurant as a destination choice, you needn't stop
there. Old Town Street itself
boasts numerous attractions
such as old time photography,
live entertainment, and nearby
wineries.
On weekends, The Bank
offers an alluring breakfast
menu with some entrees served
all day. For a dining experience
that matches food quality, The
Bank proves to be the perfect
investment.

Kona Brewing Company
brews Pipeline Porter in Kona,
Hawaii. Father Cameron Healy
and son Spoon Khalsa founded
the brewery in spring of 1994.
The brewery has three main
brews: Big Wave Golden Ale;
Longboard Islander Lager; and
Fire Rock Pale Ale. The brewery
brews other specialty beers and
limited edition releases, such
as Pipeline Porter. The brewery mainly sells in Hawaii but
also sells to other regions in the
United States, Japan, and China.
The brewery also operates two
pubs.
Kona released their limited
e dition Pipeline
Porter on October 1st. 100% Kona
Coffee comprises the porter
along with chocolate and caramel
malts. The porter won a silver
medal under the "Other Beer"
category in this year's Australian
International Beer Awards.
The porter's label contains a
surfer with a longboard making
his way to the ocean to ride some
pipelines. Dark brown, light blue
and dark orange comprise the
colors utilized for the scene. The
porter's orange bottle cap caps a
beer with an alcohol by volume of
5.4%.
The porter pours smooth creating a small tan head. Naturally,
coffee aroma dominates the lovely
scent rising from the glass. The
porter has a rich black composition. The porter enters the mouth
calmly. Upon entry, gentle waves
of sweet chocolate and soothing coffee wash all corners of
the mouth. The porter continues down the throat leaving
the mouth, tongue, and taste
buds in state of comatose. The
brewery recommends paring
the porter with hearty soups
and stews, roast beef sandwiches, pot roast and
mashed potatoes, especially on a cold day.

Moore money for 'hell-raiser' students
BY CHEZARE MILO
Pride Staff Writer
Michael Moore is coming back
to CSUSM; that is at least his
money is coming.
The filmmaker and political
activist announced on Tuesday
details of the 'hell-raiser' schol-
arship he promised CSUSM students in his October 12, 2004
speech at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. According to a press
release from Moore, the "Michael
Moore Freedom of Speech Scholarship at Cal State San Marcos"
will award $2500 scholarships to,
"the two individual students who
have done the most to fight for
issues of student rights by standing up to the administration of
Cal State San Marcos."
"I hope this scholarship will
encourage students to show courage and stand up for what they
believe in," said Moore, "When
students (take on the administra-
tion) for the right reasons, they
should be rewarded."
To be eligible for one of the
scholarships a student must be
enrolled in a minimum of at least
six units each semester during the
2004-2005 academic year or for
the fall 2005 semester and have a
minimum grade point average of
2.5. The application process consists of filling out an application
form including three personal
references at: http://www.michaelmoore.com/takeaction/sanmarcos_form.php and submitting a two page letter to Michael

CSUSM students, faculty, and
staff are willing to bleed to help
San Diegans in need.
Undergrads and others came
out to give blood to the San Diego
Blood Bank on April 19 and 20.
The big white bloodmobile was
parked in front of the Dome from
11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days.
The pressure to donate blood
was intimidating for some, but
others thought of it as a way to
give back.
The blood donation process
takes about 45 minutes to an
hour. The majority of the time
is spent answering questions to
determine donor eligibility. If
you have a blood communicable

Students from county community colleges
and universities gathered to march on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's downtown San
Diego office last week. The April 20 student
walkout in San Diego was just one of several
scheduled on this day throughout the state.
The primary goal was to protest the eight percent undergraduate tuition increase planned
for the 2005/2006 school year.

"We are mourning the (death of
the) California dream for affordable higher education," said Jason
Spencer, CSSA chair of legislative affairs. Spencer said that students are getting more and paying
less because of the budget cuts
students are having to rely more
heavily on financial aid and side
jobs to complete their education.
"We can't balance our state
budget on the backs of students,"
said Bustamante. "Raising tuition
fees is shortsighted and lacks
vision. We need an educated
workforce for our economy."
Applause erupted from the
crowd when Bustamante thanked
the students for their participation.
"Thank you for coming. Thank
you for bringing the faces of students, not statistics, before the
Legislature. The next generation
of students will benefit because
of your advocacy," said Bustamante.
Hancock urged students to get
involved on their campuses and
do everything they can to express
their voice. "Student fees have
risen faster than inflation. We
have to turn this around. We
(legislators) are fighting on the
inside, but we also need you to
fight on the outside."
After the protest, students disbursed to lobby legislators, do
some shopping, or hang out on the
capitol lawn before attending the

A plus for future teachers
BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM teacher candidates
rock.
That was the consensus resonating throughout the Teacher
Career Fair—the exemplary
qualifications of CSUSM teacher
candidates.
"Our teacher candidates are
highly qualified and sought after",
said Sandy Punch, the director of
the career fair. There were 41
school districts from all over the
state in attendance as well as a
few from Colorado, Arizona, and
Nevada.
CSUSM has hosted this event
for 13 years for alumni and newly
credentialed teacher candidates.
The purpose is to give our candidates a chance to network and
meet with representatives from
various districts as well as hand
delivering their resumes.
The fair is a great opportunity
for our future teachers tofindout
about local school districts as
well as those in other parts of the
country.
Ana Stover, who is the director of Human Resources for the
Chula Vista Unified School District, spoke with candidates about
the new schools opening up in
the area and they are currently
accepting applications for every
position. "We are especially
looking for multiple subject
credentialed candidates with a
BCLAD, Special Education, and
Speech certificate," said Stover.
Many of the representatives
expressed their need for certified
BCLAD (Bilingual Certificate of
Advanced Study in Biliteracy:
Spanish) applicants. In many districts there are always positions
available for math and science
teachers in the middle school
level as well as Special Education
teachers in every grade level.
Poway, Temecula, San Marcos
and Murrieta school districts had
the longest lines of candidates
vying for a chance to speak with
the representatives and hand in
their resumes.
Chris Meglio, who will graduate with his single subject credential in math, was waiting in
line to speak with a Murrieta representative. "I'm trying to find
the best fit for my needs," said
Meglio when asked what type of
district he is looking to work for.
Regardless of the amount of
teacher candidates graduating
each year in California (about
400-500 for CSUSM alone), our
teacher education program has a
reputation for training high-quality teachers.
Cheryl Cauldren, who will be
graduating this semester with
her multiple subject credential,
said she was, "wowed by the
instructors and the least effective
(instructor) was really great."
Chris Meglio said he is proud
to be a CSUSM grad and has
already received job offers for the
upcoming school year.
John Mendoza from Palm
Springs Unified School District
has been attending the fair for the
past eight years and comments on
the high caliber of teacher candidates from CSUSM. "We've
hired two right out of the fair,"
said Mendoza. When asked about
what advice he would give to prospective teachers, Mendoza said,
"Don't limit yourself, locals may
need to look outside of San Diego
County. Palm Springs is a growing district and we are always
hiring qualified teachers."

Moore. The letter needs
to include a biographical description, why you
attend CSUSM, why you
should receive the scholarship and, "What you have
done to take a stand and
make your school community a better place." Students meeting the requirements are encouraged to
nominate themselves; in
addition students and faculty can nominate students
they feel deserve the scholarships.
All applications for the
scholarships must be completed by May 11, and the
winners will be announced
in early June.
"At a time when the
media and politicians have
shown a lack of courage,
we should look to America's universities and America's young people to show
us how patriotic dissent is,"
said Moore.
Students and faculty had
various responses when
asked who deserved the

"I don't know of one this
year. I actually have been
thinking about it," said
Dean of the College of Arts

Student Eric Kiefer had
someone in mind to receive
the scholarship. "I would
say Claude Sayf because
he was a hell-raiser, but
he's graduating this semester and Jason Williams
because he's put up with a

Student Daniel Lowe was
at a loss. "I have no idea. I
haven't really been paying
attention to it," said Lowe.
Student Melissa Rodriguez had another student
in mind. "Jason Williams.
The whole issue regarding
his arrest was really controversial and it was clear
that the university didn't
want to talk about it. He
suffered because he had to
deal with it and he was able
to organize people around

else has," said Rodriguez.
"I don't know," said student Claude Sayf, "I can tell
you who doesn't deserve it,

lege (SDCC) to participate in the
walkout. Cal State San Marcos
student Tasha Iglesias organized
the San Diego portion of the protest: another contingent of Cal
State San Marcos students went
north to Sacramento to participate in the walkout activities at
the state capitol.
Iglesias did not express disappoint with the seemingly small
number of Cal State San Marcos
students on the San Diego bus.
"It's not about how many
people you have, it's about how
many people you can educate,"
said Iglesias.
The bus dropped off the Cal
State San Marcos representatives just south of SDCC near the
grassy area on the corner of Park
Boulevard and B Street where
the marchers and protestors congregated. Approximately 500
students gathered there, holding
signs and shouting at the traffic
on Park Boulevard. Reporters
and photographers from every
major broadcast and print media
source in the area were also on
hand, adding to the hectic atmosphere.
"Fight, fight, fight! Education
is a right!" among others, were
the chants used by the crowd both
at SDCC and on the march.
Anna Matysiak, a sophomore
business major, took the bus
down to SDCC for both the protest and as part of a class project.
"We wanted to see how the

to the efforts of the police. Shay
then ordered the police line to
stand-down. The protestors were
escorted west on B then south
on Front Street. From there, the
march continued east on Broadway much to the shock of noontime downtown patrons.
Many of the chants fell on deaf
ears, however, as the protestors
changed their chants from focusing on education to challenging
the Bush administration and the
war in Iraq. A chant of "Keep
the soldiers out of schools" was
answered by an old man watching the march.
"Then who's going to fight
the war?" said the old man as
he stood outside a wig shop on
the corner of Ninth Avenue and
Broadway.
Although no CSUSM students
participated in the impromptu
detour, Iglesias was discouraged
that the group's negative interaction with the police would
reflect poorly on the walkout and
the message of the day, which
was protecting the diminishing
budget of the public higher education system.
"It divides the group," said
Iglesias, "If we are supposed to
be united, and then we divide,
what message does that send?"

THE PRIDE
Dress to impress
BY PATRICK B.LONG
Pride Staff Writer
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Now that you have your college degree under
your belt, it's time to build a wardrobe to go with
it. Here's some practical advice to building your
'office' wardrobe.
What to purchase:
Invest in a few bottoms and tops that you can
mix and match. The colors you choose should be
solids: black pants, brown skirt, blue pants, etc.
Now with your solids on the bottom, you can get a
little funkier with the tops. Go for tops that match
all of your bottoms.
The key word when shopping is "modesty."
Black pants are essential but be sure they are
appropriate. No low-riders or Capri length. If you
have to get a bikini wax to wear the pants - they
are too low. Also, v-neck tops are great—but not
if you're cleavage is showing. I don't recommend
sleeveless tops. A good compromise is a twinset.
Skirt lengths are important. Sit down when you
try on a skirt. When sitting, if it rides up to your
panty line it's too short.
A couple pairs of nylons (pantyhose) should be
purchased as well. Bare legs are very common
in California—but not if you land a job in a more
formal environment like the East Coast.
A jacketisamustas well. Try for basic black—
it will go with everything. Another good purchase—but not an alternative to a jacket—is a
cardigan. A cardigan is a wonderful piece that
can be worn instead of a jacket in the hot summer
months.
Buy a good pair of closed-toed shoes. Stick to
basic heels or flats. Stay away from the trendy
strappy platform shoes—they won't go with your
new clothes and your feet will be killing you after
nine hours. Don't penny-pinch when it comes to
shoes. Remember that a great pair of shoes will
Last you a long time.
Where to purchase:
Skip the department stores and go straight to
the specialty shops in the mall. You need help
picking out your clothes and that means a salesperson. Smaller shops like Ann Taylor, Casual
Corner and Talbot's offer the best combination of
selection and customer service. This is because
these shops, as well as the salespeople, specialize
in the clothes you are looking for.
Specialty shops are best for shoes, too. You can
buy Clarks, Easy-Spirit and NineWest shoes at
department stores, but you will get a much better
selection at their smaller brand stores located in
the mall.
Only buy a few items at a time. Every company
is going to have their do's and don'ts of what is
appropriate to wear and what isn't. For example,
a cutting-edge dotcom company might encourage
casual dress. A clothes designer might encour-

casualcorner.com
age a modern dress. An investment bank might
encourage formal suit attire. There is no need to
buy a brand new wardrobe. Once you've settled
into your new job you will get a sense of what
everyone else around you is wearing and then purchase new pieces for your wardrobe based on the
preferences of the company.
How do I pay for all this? Here's how I did it:
Myfirstoffice job that required formal dress was
at Anthony Robbins Co. in La Jolla. I had spent
a considerable amount of money on a few items
that I rotated on a weekly basis. After a couple of
months I was very bored with my wardrobe and
had no funds to do anything about it. One of my
co-workers, Betty, was always wearing the most
trendy office attire and since we were at the same
pay scale I decided to ask her how she could buy
new clothes so often, Betty told me she works
part-time at Casual Corner. She only works a few
hours a week and the little extra income combined
with the hefty employee discount allowed her to
add two to three new outfits to her wardrobe per
month.
Following Betty's lead, I immediately got a job
at Petite Sophisticate. I worked about 10 hours per
week and received a 40 percent discount. After
working only one month I had a brand new wardrobe.

resume and career advice to
j ump-start your j ob search?
Call (619) 887-4499 today!
For graduating students and
those looking for careers in
the exciting world of corporate
America, there is a lot to prepare
for.
After the resume, the first
in-person impression an applicant gives to their prospective
employer is key to nailing the
interview: you have to get it right
the first time. The jeans and tshirts of college life will not cut
it any more.
Marketing yourself is not
always as easy as it seems.
Appearance is essential and
demands attention to detail.
Matching socks, ties and shirts
with your suit or jacket and pants
will be harder than you think.
Thefirstrequirement is to have
at least two suits in your collection. One grey and one blue—
dark blue, not powder blue. Some
places will also recommend black
suits, but they make you look like
an IRS agent. You can buy suits
off the rack, but in order to look
professional and not like a teenager working a sales job in the
mall, having your suits fitted is
the best way to go. Look for wool
suits to maintain a classic look
and stay away from hip colors.
The suit is not the time to be
thrifty. Department stores or specialty suit stores, like The Men's
Wearhouse, are great for a proper
fit and good quality.
"Your first interview suit
depends in large part on the type
ofjob f oj which you're interviewing, but charcoal gray and navy
blue are always appropriate,"
states the Men's Wearhouse website. The website has great guide-
lines on building a wardrobe and
dressing for success. The website
even shows you how to tie a tie.
Until you are making good
money, never spend too much
money on ties since the patterns
go out of style every six months.
Buy ties at places like Kohl's or
on the sale rack at department
stores.
In addition to suits, pants, like
khakis, and jackets are a good
choice to have. You can mix and
match the outfits.
Shirts are an important part
of the outfit for men. Until you
become confident wearing suits,
solid colored shirts are the best
way to go. Key colors would be
white, blue and grey to match the
suits. Try not to clash patterns on
your tie and shirt. Shirts are easy
to find at places like Ross Dress
for Less or Marshalls. Be sure
to get measured for your shirts
before you buy them. Proper
shirt fit depends on your neck
and arm length measurements,
and the cut of the shirt, so look
for professional help in the beginning until you know your proper
size and cut.
Shoes and socks are easy for
men to find as well. Discount
retailers like Ross Dress for Less
and Marshalls are also great for
shoes.
Outfit aside, personal appearance i s important for a job i nt^g
view; Men should have a clean';
haircut and neatly trirtuned or
no facial hair. Jewelry should be
kept to a minimum, oneringand a
dress watch—no big diver-styles.
Body jewelry should be taken out
until you at least have the job,
then you can put the tongue bar
back in.

Hinkle has accredited part

"I see him as a disability rights advocate," said
Garcia. Garcia went on

"He's changing lots of

Students have an opportunity to view Hinkle's

see the messages that have
already touched the lives of

OPINION
THE PRIDE
Progressive views are not on the
agenda of Benedict XVI
BY FELIPE ZANARTU
For The Pride
The selection of the new Pope
Joseph Ratzinger (a.k.a. Benedict
XVI) of Germany is a huge victory for conservatives and those
of the Opus Dei.
For years many American
Catholics have been waiting for
the pope to die hoping we would
find a new Pope with more liberal views. This pope however is
not going to be leaning to the left
or moving the church forward
on liberal issues. He has been
quoted as saying that homosexuality is intrinsically e vil So the
chances of reform in the church
doctrine over the next decade
concerning sexuality are doubtful. Along with sexuality comes
the issue of women in the priest
hood. With the record that Benedict has, it looks like he plans to
keep the Catholic Church a patriarchal institution.
In talking with religious people
on campus, I was told that Bible
passages are often interpreted to
say that males are the rulers of the
church. In this country we have
sectors of Catholicism and other
religions that believe men are the
head of the church. Most sectors
of Islam would be a prime exampie of a religion that doesn't seem
to practice tolerance. Others
believe that progress must start
from the church.
Former
Catholic

Nathan Pagador said, "I think
Catholics in America have gotten

This letter is to help inform

couple of weeks ASI has been

fee increases without informing

is one other conflict that has been
raised: Benedict XVI's past. This
would be the Nazi question. Was
he a Nazi? Looking at his age it
is entirely possible. After some
research I found that membership was compulsory in the Hitler
Youth.
Many sources say that the
Hitler Youth was possible to
resist, and many did according to
those sources.
"(Benedict XVI) found refuge
in the Catholic Church" wrote
author Beth Rowen.
I would not conclude that our
pope is a Nazi, but at a young age
he probably went along with the
movement out of ignorance like
many German's did in Hitler's
nationalistic state.
On television this week, Bill
Maher made up a clever new rule,
"No picking a German pope the
day before Hitler's Birthday. You
have just given every conspiracy
theorist in the world a hard-on."
Only time will tell whether this
pope will create change or if it
will be more of the same. As an
agnostic, I really could care less
who the pope is. But given the
huge fundamentalist/evangelical
movement in current U.S. politics
and culture, and the blurring of
the implied separation of church
and State, the pope becomes a
figure that no one in the world
can ignore.
ing of other faiths. So right now
we are raising the issues, such as
women in the priesthood."
Catholic staffworker Ann
Gnuse concurred with a progressive church, "I don't think the
church should remain a patriarchal institution. If women want
to be part of the priesthood, more
power to them."
Many religious people are
questioning whether Benedict
XVI can do a better job than Pope
John Paul II
"I think that John Paul II really
raised the bar," said Catholic student Arcay Santos, "so he's going
to be a hard act to follow."
Many Christians and Catholics
hope and expect him to be a good
pope. The church however seems
to be at a crossroads.
"They need to figure out where
they stand," said Ruth Bran, a
volunteer collegiate minister,
"they must address the issues of
AIDS in Africa, zero population
in china, and the overall worldwide culture."
With the issue of culture there

and I 'd like to point out to you
Ms. Brett, that by announcing
your movie titles, w e're making
sure you get the correct movie.
There ARE people out there who
grab the wrong movie or get the
incorrect movie behind a cover
box. We don't care if you're a
"loser on a Friday night" because
we're WORKING on a Friday
night! Businesses that double
check things for you and greet
you are just doing what is asked
of them. There's a little thing
called Secret Shoppers that us
customer service specialists
have to worry about. By not
completing tasks like greeting
you or repeating your order, we
risk our reputation as a good
customer oriented business. Also,
the whole Starbucks deal, how
are they to know you're the only
one at the counter when they're
behind the counter blending your
nonfat latte? They're doing the
same as Blockbuster; double
checking for all the customers.
Maybe the person who took the
order heard something different
and they make SURE it's correct
for you! It's obvious you don't
work in the customer service
industry so before you think
about complaining about people
like me doing my j ob correctly,
think of what we have to go
through dealing with grumpy
customers like you. If great
customer service is what really
bugs you, then start shopping at
Wal-Mart from now on. You'll fit
right in!

2005-2006 Proposed Budget.
First, pursuant to the Higher
Education Compact that was
agreed upon by the California
State University Trustees and
Governor Schwarzenegger, the
proposed budget for the 20052006 academic year includes
a 3 percent general funding
increase (yes you read correctly,
an increase). This means that
the CSU system as a whole will
see a funding increase of $71.7
million for basic budget support.
Second, pursuant to the same
Higher Education Compact the
proposed budget also includes
additional funding of $50.8
million to be spent towards
enrollment growth. This means
that the CSU system will
be allocated more money to
accommodate a 2.5 percent
increase in enrollment. This will
affect CSU San Marcos students
because it will accommodate a
slight increase in enrollment for
the Fall 2005 and Spring 2006
terms.
Third, while student fees were
increased 8% for the 2005-2006
school year, students can find
solace knowing that a substantial
portion of this fee increase will
be dedicated to financial aid
for needy students. So while
• the advertisement in the April
13 th edition of the Pride (paid
for by ASI) dons the caption,
"Need help paying for school?
Too Bad," the fact is, contrary to
this misleading advertisement,
more money will be dedicated to
providing financial aid.
So with all of this said, I would
certainly hope in the future
that Associated Students Inc.
does a better j ob informing its
constituency(you the students) of
both sides of the story.

"State of Fear"
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
I don't normally read books
like "State of Fear"—the
last three books I read were
"Fabric of the Cosmos,"
"Life of Pi," and "Will in
the World"—but I enjoyed
"Jurassic Park" way back
when, and when I heard
Michael Crichton was

in this book I couldn't resist.
I don't remember the last
time I finished 600 pages
in a day, but the pace of the
plot kept me turning the
pages (in spite of reading all
the footnotes), and I just had
to finish. Admittedly Crichton's characters are a little
thin, but this is a plot-driven
thriller, rich in detail, suspense, twists, turns, and 'can
they really do that?' action.
As a student of biology/ecology I was especially interested to read Crichton's interpretation of the data regarding global warming, and he

"Angels & Demons"
BY ANDREA MORALES
Pride Staff Writer
Robert Langdon, a worldrenowned Harvard symbologist and expert
on
ancient
societies, is
awakened in
the middle of
the night by a
phone call emanating from a Swiss research facility, summoning him for an immediate departure to Geneva. And
so begins the story of "Angels and
Demons," another best seller by Dan
Brown, author of the "The Da Vinci
Code."
Langdon is asked to analyze a
mysterious symbol that has been
seared into the chest of a murdered
physicist. Once Langdon arrives,
he discovers evidence of the inconceivable: the symbol belongs to an
ancient secret brotherhood known
as the Illuminati, the most powerful
known underground organization.
Langdon is asked to help solve the
murder. The Illuminati brotherhood
is feared to have resurfaced to carry
out a legendary vendetta against
their most hated enemy — the Catholic Church.
Langdon agrees to help, and soon
discovers that the murder victim has
a daughter, Vittoria Vetra. Langdon jets off to Rome to meet up
with Vetra. Vetra, a beautiful and
mysterious Italian scientist, meets
Langdon in Vatican City where
their worst fears are confirmed. On
the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden
an unstoppable time bomb at the
heart of Vatican City. Both Langdon and Vetra embark on a frenzied
hunt through sealed crypts, burial
chambers, closed cathedrals, and
the most secret vault. Langdon and
Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail
of ancient symbols that winds all
through Rome. The trail will take
them to the ancient meeting place of
the Illuminati brotherhood.
"Angels and Demons" mixes art
history with mythology. Brown
expertly guides the reader through
compelling twists and turns using
theories of signs and symbols coupled with medieval history. If you
are looking for a book that will
entertain you with every page, Dan
Brown's "Angels and Demons" is an
excellent choice.

THÈ PRIDE
T hree Stooges caught in drug orgy with
cast of Dragon Ball:" Kung Fu Hustle"
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
For The Pride
Such an overload of guilty
pleasure and juvenile genius is
going to send you running one
way or the other, and it should.
And I should be able to avoid a
copout. But my evaluation is still
stuck on whether to use thumbs
or digits.
I watched from the edge of my
seat. I let my mouth hang open. I
laughed out loud. But I'm fairly
certain it was one of the
s tupidest movies
I've seen in my life.
Now to be fair, I had all those
same reactions to the first "Spiderman" and the second "Star
Wars" prequel, and they were
trying to be deep. "Kung Fu
Hustle," however, entangles the
line between laughing at and
laughing with while giving you
the feeling its creator might well
be doing the same.
Stephen Chow wrote, directed,
and starred in this... this movie,
and as its tragic, complex, and
eventually god-like hero, it's hard
to tell which is his strongest field.
Every aspect seems a tribute to
himself, despite the fact that the
will to make such a thing might
be his most original asset. If
there was one less iota of effort
put into this film—if it were not
so completely itself—I'd be able
to work on a much more scathing review.
Still, there's no denying the inconsistency
between the Axe Gang's
initial (stylishly) stolen
style and their eventual descent into
bland buffoonish
thugs. The use of
Images courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics
CGI—clearly the point that will
divide genre fans—provides
more laughs than gasps, and is
used so heavily in thefightscenes
that breaks from it make brilliant
martial artists look like amateurs
in a second rate music video. As
a fan of both ridiculous slapstick
and gory violence, I can say that
reminder of what a totalitarian
government can do to art. When
you don't know what you think,
and you don't know what they
want, I guess it's good to know
we're getting what we deserve.

there's a place for both of them,
yet kitschy childhood romance

BY THOMAS F. GORMAN III
Pride Staff Writer
Located on California's Historic
Pacific Coast Highway, Hon Sushi
presents an opportunity for CSUSM
diners looking to indulge in an aesthetically pleasing culinary delight.
Dinner at the sushi bar begins with
a refreshing bowl of baby cucumbers
topped with a light dressing made of
vinegar, sugar and salt, and is accompanied by a bowl of lightly salted
sugar peas.
After a few beers and couple shots
of hot Sake, the entrées served by
Hon Sushi's head c hefs understudy,
Jun Jung, were eatables delectable
enough to turn the mostfinickyeater
to glutton.
The first entrées served consisted
of regular cuts of salmon and albacore sushi. The salmon is elegantly
garnished with a mini palm tree made
of carrot and topped with cucumber fronds. Albacore is served with
lemon wedges and wrapped with
ginger leaf giving the dish a delightful appeal. The cuts of fish are fresh
and full of flavor, but are not overwhelmingly fishy for those scared of
raw cuts offish. The two-piece regular sushi cuts run between $3 and $6
dollars, which is reasonable considering the flavor and artistry the dishes
provided.
Remaining entrées sampled consisted of a colorful assortment of
rolls beginning with the cucumber
paradise roll. The cucumber paradise roll is a delicious roll with mild
flavor consisting of an inside made
of tuna, yellow tail, salmon, crab
meat and asparagus. The roll is held
together by a thin layer of cucumber
wrapping. The cucumber paradise
roll is paradise for the taste buds, but
is difficult to fit in your mouth due
to the size of the roll. The cucumber
paradise roll is a six-piece roll that
can serve as a meal on its own and
costs $6.95.
The next roll sampled is a specialty roll known as the volcano
roll. This was my first time

sampling a volcano roll and I was
pleased. The volcano roll has a crab
meat, cucumber, and avocado inside,
topped with baked scallops. The
baked scallops are then garnished
with black fish eggs and shavings
of green onion. The baked scallops melted and the black fish eggs
popped every time they hit my mouth
providing an exciting bating experience. Presentation of the volcano roll
was nothing short of spectacular as
the roll is served in a decorative boat
made of carrot and cucumber. The
volcano roll is an eight-piece roll
costing $11.95 and is worth every
penny. The volcano roll is a definite
must for the first time visitor.
Then the Hon roll #2 was sampled.
The Hon roll #2 consists of an inside
containing tuna, salmon, shrimp tempura, crab meat, onion, green onion,
and masago. The roll is then held
together by an outside layer made of
soybean paper. The presentation of
the Hon #2 roll is not the most colorful, but is a clean looking roll with
flavor to back it up. The combination
of shrimp tempura and crab meat
is a gratifying combination for any
palate. The Hon roll #2 is

piece roll and is moderately priced at
$8.95.
The meal ended with a bang as
an animated-looking caterpillar roll
consisting of an eel and cucumber
inside was served. The outside of
the caterpillar roll is decorated with
artful pieces of avocado, octopus
eyes, and carrot antennas. The caterpillar roll is must have for those with
children, or for those who wish to
feel like a child again. The flavor is
amazing as the tastes of the avocado
and the sweetfleshof the fresh water

A s America fights a war witto
Iraq, some people are looking1 at
the l awf M p&ce and questioning
the security of personal liberties,
while otters are willing to lose
some rights in exchange? for safety.
Looking at the history of America,
civil liberties are often a victim of
war.
To better understand the threat
that war poses to civil liberties, it
is important to review civil liberties
in the past wartimes of America.
In 1798, only, 10 years after the
ratification of the Constitution,
America entered the Quasi War
with France and passed the Alien
and Sedition Acts of 1798. Among
other laws, the acts made it illegal to
protest a^ains| the a<&riînistîïtion's
policy, a direct violation of the f irst
Amendment. The Act was not very
jpovtërfiil because!! only resulted in
25 arrests, of i #Iich only 10 wetSè
convicted- *
.
In the 1860s, President Abraham
•Lincoln, in order to "keep the union
together," passed emergency Jaws
that violated the Fifth Amendment
and Habeas Corpus, outlined in
Section 9 of the Constitution.
Military commanders were allowed
to suspend due process and were
held prisoners for years without a
trial or at times, without suspicion
pf a crime.
The Espiona|e Act of 1917,
which was passed during World
War I, allowed for the prosecution
of 2,000 people, convicting 1,000
of them. When ratified in 1918, it
forbade opposition to the war by
banning "disloyal utterances Such
utterances included "unpatriotic"
conversation.
For instance,
criticizing the Young Men's
Christian Association (YMCA) and
the Red Cross was also considered
unlawful. Other comments that
were banned were those questioning
the U.S. aad British- relationship,
discouraging women from knitting
socks for the troops, and citing ¡¡¡at

Jesus.

"The Yellow Ribbon Program is a suicide prevention
program that is worldwide,
that serves all 50 states and 47
other countries," said Hilz. "I
became interested in the program when my good friend
committed suicide when I
was 15 and they were handing
these cards out at his funeral."
The small white cards have a
yellow ribbon printed on one
side with a caption that says,
"This ribbon is a lifeline." A
person in distress can hand
the card to someone, a parent,
a friend, a pastor, or a doctor
to reach out and ask for help.

According to the National
Mental Health Awareness
Campaign, suicide is the
leading cause of death among
college students. Going to
college can be an especially
difficult time of adjustment
for students, many of whom
are leaving home f or the
first time. Other stresses
include leaving family and
friends, high expectations of
academic- success, increased
amount of homework, and, for
some, working while going to
school. These stresses can
cause depression to appear
for the first time, or aggravate
existing depression.

"Higher education has
become more important than
ever to ensure America's
economic prosperity, national
security, and health. Yet
swelling enrollments among
low-income and working
class families, massive state
budget cuts, and rising tuition
continue to strain our ability
to ensure access to a college
education for all Americans,"
said Representative George
Miller, the Senior Democrat
on the House Committee on
Education and the Workforce.
Miller, a Democrat from
California, introduced two
higher education bills to
the House Committee in
Washington on Mar. 18,
2003, known as the College
Affordability and Lifetime
Savings Act and the College
Opportunity for a Better
America Act.
According to the official
remarks made by Miller at the
presentation to the House of
Representatives, the College
Affordability and Lifetime
Savings Act proposes to help
ease the burden of student
loan debt for millions of
Americans. The act will
possibly change the current
student loan tax deduction
benefit to a tax credit - which
will deliver a larger rebate
on the interest paid on
student loans to borrowers.
The savings for the typical
borrower who is earning
$20,000 a year will more than
triple to $347 in theirfirstyear
of repayment.
The
Department of
Education has reported that 7
million students are expected
to take out federal student
loans to cover the costs of
their education this year

Luan Rivera, representing
the Yellow Ribbon Program,
said, "I want to acknowledge Lindsay because she's
worked really hard to bring
the program here." She also
added, "I wish [suicide]
didn't exist. But it does and
it's a growing problem."
Rivera said that the actual
statistics for suicide are much
higher than reported because
police won't label a death a
suicide unless there's clear
evidence, such as a suicide
note, that the death was
intentional. But other statistics about suicide are clear
and alarming. Eleven young
people, between the ages
of 15 and 24, die by suicide
every day in this country.
Since 1990, there has been
a 120 percent increase in suicides in students between the
ages of 10 and 14 years old.
"Suicide is an equal opportunity killer," said Rivera. It
is not particular to one race
or socio-economic group.
But, Rivera said, "Suicide is
not about death and not about
dying - it's about
ending the pain."
Some signs that someone
may be considering suicide
are:
Depression or withdrawal
Changes in sleeping or eating
habits
Giving away possessions

was performed by a brilliantly

flailed energetically about

flopping
on tabletops like a fish out

"Women Rights" manual to
her audience.
This and many other unique
and interesting events were
held on campus this month. "It
is a wonderful opportunity to
honor all those women before
us and today (including those
fictitious characters!) who
have worked and continue to
pave the way for equal rights,"
said Schaffman.
A panel made up of the
three
performers
gave
closure to the evening, as
the audience was encouraged
to ask questions and engage
with the current discussion of
Women's History Month and
Women's rights. The topics
addressed included the role
models of the three women,
which included mothers,
grandmothers, female artists,
and earlier "girl power"
movements in history as well
as the reasons each woman
gave for being active in such
an ambitious cause. When
rapper Goldstein was asked
about her f uture goals as an
artist she responded, "Being
Miss Liberty is all about
creating change and I plan on
doing it one rap at a time."
"It was actually pretty
shocking at first," described
audience member Ashley
Moses, "but I think that
was the point. I had never
considered some of the issues
presented by these women. It
really opened my eyes."

The opinions of Americans

vary. James Gilmore, chair

"You'd give up everything by

-Former director of the U.S.

has commented that the U.S.
is not as intrusive as it could
be. He believes that Americans
"are going to have to make

civil liberties and security, and

they do."

suffer the effects of the lack of advertising and
funding, many questions entered my head, but one
overshadowed the others. Is it the university's alcohol policy not to let The Pride student newspaper
advertise happy hours at restaurants and bars, drink
specials on college nights at dance clubs, and alcohol in general?
If this is so, why is it that Rick Moore, Director of
the Office of Communications which puts out "In
the Loop" every week, allows student organizations
to advertise their social events at restaurant bars?
According to Rick Moore, he does not want students at Cal State San Marcos to be perceived in this
light (As barflies),so why does put out these social
gatherings which encourage students to stay after 8
P.M. for karaoke. Are these student organizations
getting special permission from the president's
office to do this?
What about Cougar night at Zip & Zack's? I am
not against having social gatherings at restaurant

into account issues of morality or
public opinion, the combination
of first-rate technology and the

to have captured America's attention.
The cast of the most extravagant show in television history
also proves to be rather impressive, as they have given life to
an otherwise run-of-the-mill
example of a military shellacking.

enforcement from their duties to protect

They are welcome to leave America and

welcome to go to Russia or China, where
communism is firmly entrenched. Surely
there are hundreds of Russian and Chinese

The Pride relies on a limited budget given
to them by the university in order to operate. Many stories have been held back
from staff writers because of the lack of
funding. Why can't the same rules apply
for The Pride newspaper and "In the Loop"
when it comes to advertising? Going this
route would give some power to The Pride
over what is published and what is not.
There are many bars and restaurants in
San Marcos and The Pride student newspaper, along with the bars themselves,
could definitely benefit from having their

I believe with the changing environment
going on at Cai State San Marcos there
should also be a change in the university's
primitive alcohol policies.
E ditor's N ote:
The Pride is currently undergoing negotiations with the office of Student Affairs and
Student Health Services in order to revise our current advertising policy. They have
been very helpful and hopefully we will see a change in the Pride's restrictions sometime in the near future. Stay tuned for further updates.
So the war has action,
intrigue and an extraordinary plot, complete with effects
that would give George Lucas wet
dreams. Add this to the fact that it
is brought to life by a gifted cast,
and by Hollywood standards,
you've got a winner. In almost
every respect it's the perfect
show. That's right, I said almost.
There are two key criticisms that
any true fan of high drama could
unearth with without much difficulty. First of all the name of the
war itself is somewhat lackluster.
George Bush Sr.'s war was called
Operation Desert Storm. Now
that was a powerful name for a
military campaign. Operation

second criticism is that it's just
not sexy enough. Every show on
television that is "all the rage" is
centered around sex. Let's face
it. Sex sells, and without it how is
the war supposed to compete with
shows like Blind Date, The Fifth

Yes, we all have a right to our opinions,
and we have a right to speak those opinions
freely. We don't have a right to abuse and
vandalize and assault. The Constitution
sanctions free speech; it does not sanction criminal behavior. Free speech must
be protected. Criminal behavior must be
prosecuted.

�A response to Anna Hall
I believe you have a misunderstanding of the concept of
conservatism. By all traditional
definitions, conservatism means
cautious, moderate, or disposed
to preexisting establishments,
institutions and norms. Simply
put, being a conservative means
not wanting to "rock the boat"
for the sake of stability. Understanding this, all media, except
for independent media (both
left and right), is conservative.
ABC, NBC, FOX, CNN, etc. all
broadcast to vast segments of
the American public — to people
with extremely diverse backgrounds and opinions. Because
of sponsorship, advertisements,
and for the sake of ratings* these
companies very shrewdly avoid
pressing any extreme opinion
(right or left), as they do not
want to alienate viewers. In this
sense, the media is neither left
nor right, but strategically moderate because they do not want to
"rock the boat." This is the argument of a conservative media: the
industry chooses not to side with
any particular cause; therefore,
by definition the media is very
conservative. Labeling the media
as conservative is not necessarily
a pejorative term though. It is
simply stating that the industry is
limiting the scope of discussion
and the facts or viewpoints presented (left or right). Media bias
is a two-way street.
My second point I wanted to
raise is your fear of liberalism of
which I will try to assuage. As
opposed to conservatism (favoring the status quo), liberalism
seeks to press the frontiers of
social progress. I assure you,
liberals are not "Pinko Commie
Socialists," they are people just
like you and me. However, rather
than embracing the status quo,
they challenge it in hopes of a
more positive future. The history
of the United States is rife with
such examples. The. American
Revolution: a small minority of
the colonial population decided
that they had had enough and it
was time to part with England.
Their defiance gave us our independence. In the early 1800s, a
pestering group of liberals waged
a 30+-year campaign to end the
horrid practice of slavery. In
the late 1800s, the working man
demanded his rights against the
evils of unrestrained business;
they gave us labor unions, eighthour days, overtime, workman's
compensation, etc. After nearly
an entire century of agitation
and civil disobedience, women
procured suffrage with the 19th
Amendment. In the 1960s we
witnessed the Civil Rights movement for racial equality, feminism, and anti-Vietnam protests.
Now it's a struggle for gay rights.
Even larger is the movement
against war with Iraq. None of
these movements were AntiAmerican, even though every
single one of them was labeled
as such. Without & doubt, the
men and women overseas risk
their lives to defend our freedom,
but we cannot forget, or simply
ignore, where these freedoms
came from in thè first place. We
need each other. That is the
beauty of democracy: we may not
see eye to eye, but together we
make it work.
liberalism for communism, and
conservatism for fascism. Your
level of fanaticism against progress rivals that,of the Middle
Eastern Fundamentalism and is
quite disturbing. There is a large
difference from being a conservative and being right wing, and
frankly, fascism at home scares
me more than terrorism from
abroad. If you are so concerned
about PAN, you should stop by a
meeting; the door is always open.
Until then, stop with the witty
clichés and clever quips and pretend to be an educated student. It
is quite sad when Communication majors cannot conduct a civil
discussion.

Dear Editors,

Recently, I read your article on
Medical Marijuana. I found it
interesting that California passed
a proposition for the growing of
marijuana for patients that need
it for medical purposes. I think
this is wonderful because of all
of the sick people that can really
use something to make them feel
better.
However, this adds "to my concern as to whether or not these

whether or not the reason why
children are using marijuana
today is because they have such
easy access to it. This access
is either through a loved one or
someone they know that is growing it or using it on a daily basis.
I am not saying that since terminally ill patients are able to grow
this product, then they are going
to give it out to everyone that they

need to change. I care very much
about those that are going through
great amounts of pain and suffering, however I don't think that
they should be able to grow this
plant in their own house. I think
that doctors should set up labs

them the right to grow marijuana
in their own homes is putting a lot

but to others as well. I think that
these patients should be allowed
to smoke this plant of their own
free will, however I believe that it
should be done in the presence of

Even though patients are
allowed to grow small amounts
of marijuana in their homes, it
seems logical that they would

In this time of uncertainty for
the United States, .it seems almost
frivolous to be discussing sports.
However* as a prominent American institution, ^sports are profoundly affected by major international events, such as the war
with Iraq. Interesting questions
have arisen, not about the content
of the games, but about whether
the games should even be played.
The leaders of all the sports currently in-season, which include
college basketball, professional
basketball, hockey, and baseball,
have given serious and well-publicized thought to this issue, but
thus far have all decided to let the
games be played as scheduled.
First and foremost, if sporting events were to be cancelled,
we would be letting the enemy
further affect our way of life.

are a sports fan, there is no doubt
that sports play an intricate role in
the lives of many Americans. By

it is through postponing sports
or anything else, we essentially
bring the war home. That's not

�Things You Need to Know About NAFTA
Dear Editors:
I am a freshman at the
university who is very
concerned with how little
students know about the
insulting fiasco that is
NAFTA (North American
Free Trade Agreement).
Students should know about
the oppression that NAFTA
causes. The area that the
agreement affects most is
Latin America.
Albeit trade is way up from
seven years ago, there are
many problems that result
from this. In no way does
the lowered prices of goods
from increased competition make up for all the job
losses that emerged from
NAFTA, not to mention
all the environmental damages and social dislocation.
NAFTA supporters believe
that the agreement assists
Mexico's economy drasti-
cally, but they do not know
that the nation was already
liberalizing its economy
for the better before the
United States unnecessarily
stepped in.
They did this by beginning to invest in foreign
goods and dropping tariffs.
It's hard to tell whether the
Mexican economy would
be any better or worse
today if NAFTA had not
been agreed upon. During
the United States debate
over whether or not to pass
NAFTA, pro-NAFTA economists proposed that there
would be thousands of new
jobs per 1$ billion in trade
surplus, obviously assuming that the United States'
exports would explode
with a huge increase. However, when the peso crisis
launched Mexico into a
recession, bringing the U.S.
trade into deficit with it (the
nation's exports surpassed
that of its imports), U.S. job
losses nearly reached the
hundred thousand mark.
It turns out that Clinton's
and Bush's proposed numbers about x number of jobs
being created by x number
of billion dollars was
based upon guesses rather
than proof The massive
amount of layoffs caused
by NAFTA is indisputable.
In the U.S., nearly 150,000
laborers were eligible for
NAFTA's
Transitional
Adjustment Assistance Program in 1997, yet only five
percent of them actually
received any assistance or
benefits from the program.
Generally speaking, laid
off U.S. workers earn a
much lower average commission after they find a
new job. While the loss of
jobs in the U.S. is easy to
recognize, Mexico's workers have also been losing
jobs significantly under
NAFTA. This is because it
became much more difficult for laborers to unionize
after NAFTA was passed.
Companies usually threaten

Freshman,
A Response From a "Pinko Commie Socialist"
As a member of PAN, I could
not resist the urge of responding
to a letter, which is full of insults
and slurs (pinko commie socialist, pothead, brainwashed, uneducated, shut your slack jawed
mouths), written by someone
who actually does not deserve
to be taken into account. However, for the sake of clarifying
a few things for those who read
the opinion titled "Slack Jawed"
written by Anna Hall, I decided
to write this letter.
First of all, I cannot understand
why you are so angry with PAN?
Why is it so hard for you to
accept the fact there are people
out there do think different
than you do? What happened to
democracy, free speech and freedom to have different opinions?
Did you come and try to talk to
one of us?
I have a solution though.
I challenge you to a political
debate. We can talk about any
ideology, any thinker, or any
writer. It would be a pleasure
for me to hear your criticisms of
Karl Marx and his works since
you sound like you know what
you are talking about in regards
to Marx and Marxist theories. I
would be delighted to hear your
disagreements of the Communist
Manifesto or The Capital. If you
wish, we can discuss conservatives and conservative ideologies:
Adam Smith, Francis Fukuyama,
William Saffire, Paul Wolfowitz?
You pick. How about Islamic
fundamentalism and Sayyid
Qutb? Would you prefer to talk
about Jerry Falwell and Christian
Reconstruction theories? We can
go way back and discuss Plato,
Aristotle, St. Augustin. How
about we discuss the emergence
of contemporary political ideologies since the enlightenment
from Weber to Kant, Sartre to
Rousseau, Hobbes to Locke,
Mussolini to Lenin? If your
argument is that PAN members
are illiterate about politics and
political ideologies and brainwashed by only reading Karl
Marx, I challenge you to come
and have a political debate with
me, serious offer. A person who
is capable of insulting, should
also be capable of putting out an
argument to back those insults.
Maybe after that you will learn
your lesson about not judging and
insulting people you don't even
know. Forget about Marx, I bet
you don't even know the difference between Communism and
Socialism.
Since elementary school we're
pushed to succeed, to go to college, and succeed there. And
we're told that we need a degree
to succeed. I've been attending
CSUSM since the fall of 2002.
Since then, tuition has gone up
and parking fees have more than
doubled. And they continue to
increase.
Society looks at the lower class
and blames their financial problem is due to the lack of education. How are they supposed to
attend a higher education system
without the money? Sure now
there are scholarships, but now
the middle class is the ones who
see higher education as a financial burden. They're too rich to
qualify for most scholarships yet
too poor to be able to pay for the
cost themselves without starching a penny here and there.
To get rich we must study, but
to study we must be rich. In no
way am I completely blaming
CSUSM for the tuition increase,
but for the parking fee increase
and the ones yet to come, those
words will be left unsaid. Sure
I can write the governor or
any other government official
and wait months, if at that, for
a response, but one voice is
never as strong as hundreds or
thousands. As for the parking
increase, it was said that there
was a window of opportunity to
discuss the matter. I remember
hearing about the meeting an
hour before it was supposed to
start.
Great notice.
Some of us have class that can't
be missed, exams, or even work.
The majority of students can't
just drop everything in an hour.
If something this important is up
in the air for discussion a good
amount of notice (say a week or
more) should be given, as well
as notification of the discussion
throughout campus. Because
of the outrageous parking fees,
students are taking risk by packing in the shopping area, and
soon in near by neighborhoods
(that are nearly a mile away from
campus). At least than we won't
have to worry about students not
getting enough exercise!
Concerning the tuition, I'm not
fighting for no fees, but at least a
sensible one. For students there's
three possible ways of dealing
with tuition: pay it yourself,
scholarships, or student loans. I
can see how paying it yourself
at a community college, but at
a four-year it's stress. Do I have
enough, what other bills will I
not be able to pay, how many
extra hours must I work? Scholarships, to me personally seem to
be confusing. For the vast majority, just to qualify we have to be

Higher Education is Not Cheap
Dear Editors:
going to disappoint you but your
letter did not offend me or upset
me at all. I just had a big smile
on my face when I read it. Obviously, 3 years of college is not
enough for some people to get
out of Junior High behavior
poor, of a minority, have good
grades, be involved in school
some how, and have racked up
community service hours.
And loans! It's the easiest at the
ftioment thing to do, but jafter that
it seems that you're getting your
pay back for years after. The rates
of tuition should be the same
always, increasing discourages
future students from applying to
a four-year school. Our society
stresses students to achieve high
education, yet makes it a great
expense that can't be obtained,
and on top of that continues to
raise the cost.
If the governor or a government
official builds his campaign on
what society values essential
- education - he or she should
increase the quality, not the
price.

Z ombie culture
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Though the idea of
zombies originated
as an association
with Voodoo practices, theories of the
living dead are gaining popularity due
to their influx into
horror films in theaters today.
Zombie culture exploded in
1968 with the release of George
A. Romero's film "Night of the
Living Dead." The idea of reanimated corpses infected with a
virus died down for a while but
is now making a comeback.
Film director George A.
Romero has a cult following
after establishing the idea of
zombies in his films, especially
"Dawn of the Dead," where the
dead rise and mindlessly hunt
living humans. Now modern
directors and thinkers are
expanding on zombie theory
causing me to fair in love with
zombie culture.
Directors often repeat the
formula for zombie films, but
nonetheless, they are always
exciting. There is a mysterious
outbreak of the virus that reanimates corpses and then hordes
of the infected grow as they
stack up a high body count.
Then the protagonist and others
bond together out of necessity
tofightand survive.
I find the struggle to perpetuate humanity a brilliant
concept. Few horror
films besides zombie
films feature the fright
where an ally can suddenly become the protagonist's enemy due
to a virus.
Zombie stories also
offer insight on popular culture. Films
such as "Dawn of the
Dead" and "Shaun of thé Dead"
cleverly compare normal life with
the activities of zombies to make
a statement. The mentioned films
show the audience how people
become zombies because of the
way routine and consumerism
makes their lives mundane.
Other insight based on zombies
comes from metaphors based on
religion. Some zombie stories pin
the blame on humanity for the
outbreak. These films claim that
the virus is punishment for living
immoral lives.
Alternatively, some films claim
that the dead are rising because
there is no more room in Hell. Both
are preposterous, but get across the
idea that we should behave better
as a civilization because there are
consequences.
The once popular idea of zombies
brought about by Romero's films is
once again gaining popularity for
whatever reason. Whether it's the
excitement of horror films such as
"28 Days Later" or the fun generated from zombie-themed video
games such as the "Resident Evil"
series or "Left 4 Dead," popular culture is getting into zombies again.

C ould the recession help
my sex life a nd relationship?
BY IVAN GARCIA
list off some reasons
*
ther, I have to confess, I have NO idea
at all as to the state of the economy at
this time. I do not know what a recession is and something called a "stimulus
package" j ust sounds like an overpriced
sexual implant for men.
If I were somehow (and god forbid)
ruler/king/hegemon/etc. of America one
day, I would think that fixing the economic crisis would just be to print more
money* And also to take guns away from
Dick Cheney, permanently! Officials
say that we're out of money, so print
more, or let's replace dollars with something that's more abundant, like grass or
ketchup packets.
Beyond my delusional fantasies, the
question still remains: does a recession
improve our sex life? Our relationships?
Personally, I think it goes both ways. On
the physical side of the spectrum, I think
a recession would totally help out when it
comes to "doing the d eed/' Think about
it: there's a recession taking place and
everyone is tight on money. Obviously,
that means couples will start going out
less and staying in more meaning that
watching "A Walk to Remember" will
lose its appeal a fter the ninety-seventh
time. Considering how much I love that
movie, personally, I think it is ten times
better than "The Notebook." I can never
personally get tired of a tragic love story
featuring Mandy Moore and.. .some other
guy. It's j ust genuinely sweet without the
fan-base of millions of screaming teenyboppers chanting for more vampires.
Couples nowadays will have to find
more activities to do in the comfort of
their own home (free) instead of going to
expensive places (not free). So what are
two hormone-enraged lovers to do with
an empty apartment/home/etc. and an
empty bed? Sleep...or not (har har)!
That's right, having sex is definitely
going to become an activity practiced
more often as opposed
to spending money. But
even so, don't ever sacrifice t hriftiness for safety. Go out, buy protection
and use it! There are organizations
that provide free condoms, dental
dams, and so forth, so please take
advantage of those resources.
Please make sure you switch it up
when it comes to having sex. I would
assume that the "bionic seahorse"
would get boring eventually. Be
adventurous and try something new,
otherwise, your sex life could be as
depressing as October 29, 1929.
On the other end of the spectrum,
this recession might actually cause
some disruptions in the relationship aspect as well. One of the biggest, if not the biggest, reasons as to
why couples fight is due to financial
concerns. Sure enough, with an economic crisis of this magnitude occurring, this is the time to watch for any
falling television sets from 7th story
windows. Financial stability is definitely a factor when it comes to relationships. Unfortunately, we live in a
capitalist society. The wbrld revolves
around the idea of consumerism (just
look at prostitution or iTunes).
Think about it. You and your partner, sifting back enjoying a nice dinner
that you made at home. Suddenly, he/
she asks how much the ingredients
cost and all hell breaks loose because
you bought Prego tomato sauce
instead of the bargain brand. In these
cases, I like to reply with sarcasm,
"So what? I can take your plate of
delicious lasagna away if that'll make
you feel better." I wouldn't recommend this action unless physical violence or rough sex turns you on.
Amidst the hardest of times, always
remember that a relationship requires
hard work, a team effort, and understanding even though the situation
may be out of anyone's control. At
the very worst of times, make sure
you remember your friends and hobbies, watch a favorite movie or listen
to a favorite song like "Cool for Cats"
by Squeeze. That one, in particular,
always seems to set the mood.

Lesson two is also simple. Save,
save and save some more. You
may be a full time student right
now, and may have no source of
income. No problem. The time
will come when you do have an
income. And for now, you must
carefully budget your spending.
You need to follow this important
principle to find yourself financially secure someday. For every
paycheck you receive, for your
entire life, you must budget the
first chunk of your income to an
untouchable retirement account.
Never use this money for anything
other than your retirement-EVER.
If you can put away fifty percent
of your income and live comfortably on the remainder then do so.
Your financial independence will
come rapidly. The minimum you
should allocate is ten percent of
your income to your retirement purpose.

University Student Union Student Forums
As Cal State San Marcos continues to grow and approach its 20th anniversary, we are
exploring options for constructing a facility for campus life, programming, social
interactions, and leadership development that will impact the entire campus community.
The proposed University Student Union (USU) project will enhance the quality of campus
life by providing a mix of informal gathering spaces, retail and food services, and venues
for events. However, an increase to the existing Student Union fee would be necessary to
support construction and ongoing operational costs associated with the facility.
CSUSM will be utilizing an alternative consultation process which provides opportunities
for student, faculty, and staff input regarding the proposed USU building and student fee
increase through forums and a website (http://www.csusm.edu/usuA designed to be both
educational and a means to obtain feedback. This feedback will then be compiled into a
report and presented to the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Haynes.
Your participation is crucial to the process since the proposed University Student Union
will have broad implications affecting many aspects of campus life. By attending one of
the forums, you will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed building, view
artist renderings, ask questions and provide us with your thoughts and ideas.
The open student forums are scheduled as follows:
• February 25,2009 in the Clarke Field House,
Room 113, from 5:30 to 6:30 |j.m.
• March 12,2009 in Markstein Hall,

The R .A. convention
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
By worldly standards, most
people would mark RAs as nerds.
That is probably true. We spend
our weekends ensuring CSUSM
does not degrade into a wasteland
of alcohol and drugs described by
rapper Asher Roth's song "I Love
College." We even go to conferences to meet and be with other
RAs.
In November 2008, we went to
Scripps College for the Southern
Residential Activities Programming (SRAP) conference. This
conference, which began in the
1970-'71 school year at UCLA,
is a one-day gathering of RAs
from Southern California. This
year's theme was "008- License
to Thrill," a pun on James Bond
movies.
The conference is about all
things RA. There is a keynote
speaker who talks about college
life and workshops where other
RAs share ideas for programming.
Parts of the festivities include
awards for individuals and schools
with good programming ideas as
well as the "Spirit Stick" award.
This prize goes to the school with
not only the most spirit, but also
those who participate in philanthropy, programming ideas, and
festive giveaways.
To match the theme of undercover secret agents, we dressed
up as Waldo, from the book series
"Where's Waldo?" The judges^
appreciated our costumes, program
ideas, and attitude because for the
second year in a row we won the
"Spirit Stick."
We might have looked like fools
dressed in red and white shirts and
going away for a day to talk about
how to serve out residents better,
but that is what it means to be an
RA. It requires humility, but I find
it a source of pride as well. The
SRAP conference is a day to prove
that RAs are nerds, but we enjoy
being there for our residents.

The Breax
Hip-hop for the soul
BY MATT LEWIS
Pride Staff Writer
On February 11 at 6 p m, a
Christian Hip-Hop show hosted
by a group called The Breax
performed at the Clarke Field
House.
The Breax is made up of three
artists: Ruslan Karaoglanov, the
emcee and a CSUSM student,
Beleaf, the DJ from Baltimore,
Maryland, andMic B, the drummer who isfromOceanside. The
event included local artists like
Heavenly HostfromOceanside,
and a Portland, Oregon native
artist called Braille.
This event marked the beginning of the "Broken Television"
tour for The Breax, which will
take them to New York City,
Maryland, and Los Angeles.
The idea of the concert was to

let The Breax and the local artists
express themselves and their beliefs
through both Hip-Hop music and
spoken word poetry.
"Hip-Hop is a powerful medium,
and it is important to support artists you enjoy as well as local rising
Hip-Hop artists," said CSUSM student Rajah Gainey to the crowd
shortly before the show.
The performance opened with
songs from local artists, including
one from Oceanside called Heavenly Host. Although he only played
a few songs, his powerful instrumentais and thoughtful lyrics made
him a crowd favorite.
Next was Braille, a.k.a Bryan
Winchester, from Portland, who
incorporated a lot more dancing
into his songs and had a much
longer set than the first two artists. He definitely had much more
experience with stage presence,
and was able to use humor and
enthusiastic showmanship to get
the crowd ready for the main event.
Although he will not be touring
with The Breax, he will be playing local venues in the near future
(go to www.braillehiphop.com for
more information).
The Breax themselves com-

manded the audience's attention
most out of all the groups. The fact
that they use a live drum set (played
by Mic B) and used turntables made
their songs much easier for the audience to get into. Their sound is
reminiscent of the People under
the Stairs and Dilated Peoples, with
obvious influencesfromgroups like
The Roots and Common.
In addition to entertaining the
crowd with audience-influenced
freestyles and spoken word monologues from all the members, the
group conveyed how their beliefs
have had a positive effect on both
their music and their lives.
"It's good to see groups conveying a positive message through HipHop, instead of the typical stuff you
see on TV," said Anthony Carlson,
a junior at CSUSM. "It seems much
harder to promote a positive message through your beliefs than to
give into societal pressure."

H ow to build a nd keep a high credit score
BY JESSENIA LUA
Pride Staff Writer
Ever wonder what determines
your credit score? For many ofus, it's
a guessing game of confusing numbers only hoping to be high enough
to financially qualify us for anything.
Having a high credit score is important because it shows lenders you are
responsible andfinanciallytrustworthy. With a high credit score, you
can borrow moneyfrombanks with
better interest rates, easily qualify to
rent a home, and in some cases, get
a new job.
If you just turned 18 and have no
credit history whatsoever, a great
way to establish credit would be to
open a checking and savings account
with a bank. Deposits, withdrawals,
and transfers are a constructive way
of showing financial responsibility. Starting slow is the best way to
establish credit. Instead of jumping
in and applying for a major credit
card with a high credit limit, try to go
for something simple like a gasoline
credit card or even a line of credit at a
department store.
Within time, your credit will
slowly build up to represent a financially trustworthy person.
Credit scores are determined by
using the FICO scoring system
FICO is an acronym for Fair Isaac
Company who developed this
system that became the standard
creditworthiness for potential borrowers. FICO calculates your credit
score by considering anything from
payment history, amounts owed,
length of credit history, new credit,
and types of credit used. Credit
scores are anywhere between 300 to
850 with 300 being the poorest credit
and 850 being the highest credit
Keeping a high credit score is critically important especially when you
are venturing out on your own. One
thing that can help keep your credit
score high is by always making payments on time. Missing and avoiding credit payments is the easiest
way to damage your credit. If you
forgettomake a payment and pay
it three days late, not to worry, this
one little mistake will nbt affect your
credit score. However, consecutively
missing payments will definitely
bring your score down. Also, if you
have unexpected emergencies, credit
companies will work out a payment
plan to prevent any damagetoyour
credit. While making payments to
credit companies, it is not necessary
to make the full balance payment,
but it is necessary to at least make
the full minimum payment
Credit scores are not determined
by your age, but by the history of
financial responsibility. Payment
history is the most important factor
in determining your credit score.
However, having too many open
credit accounts can hurt your credit
The fewer the credit cards you have,
the better. Lenders might interpret
several open credit cards as risky
behavior.
If you have fallen into some hardships, there are a few things you can
do to get your credit back on track.
For one, don't be afraid to consolidate. If you're overwhelmed by
all your payments and have M en
behind, choosing a non-profit credit
counseling program can help you
•H
UniversityVoice
Photos by Diana Valdivia/Pride Staff Writer
improve your credit. Debt consolidation usedtohave negative effects on
credit, but now only helps improve
it. Craig Watts, an executive at Fair
Isaac & Co., says, 'Today the FICO
score ignores any and all references
in a credit reporttocredit counseling
or debt management programs."
Always avoid bankruptcy completely. Bankruptcy can knock 200
or more pointsfromyour otherwise
fair credit score, and recovering from
it is verytough.Bankruptcy can stay
on your record forupto10years,and
the majority of lenders will reject
bankrupt consumers.
Long story short, the next time
you find yourself wondering about
your credit, remember to start small
to end up big, be patienttolet it grow,
and always make your payments on
time.

" How much of a difference d o you think O bama's plan will m ake?"
'We'll see if it creates jobs. They
need to regulate the money so we
can see where the money is getting
spent Like Obama said it will take
time to see a difference."
"I believe that Obama's stimulus
package has good intentions
but for a student it may he very
confusing to allocate where the
money is being distributed"
"From looking at different areas
that are going to benifitfromthe

"I think it will have a good impact

school campus. For the economy
it'll create more jobs for people
and hopefully boost the economy
in the next few years. For the
campus I think it will help with
struggling tuition costs and budget
cuts that have been made/'
"It can be a positive result
from the Obama administration
directing funds towards
education. It might be a small
bandaid on a bigger social
problem."

C ongress a pproves stimulus p ackage
Billions to boost financial aid, tax
This past Friday, the stimulus package
passed through Congress. The stimulus
package is a $787 billion bill that President
Obama will sign early this week. There is
no doubt that this package will go down in
history without any controversy. The House
passed the bill with no Republican support,
246 votes in favor and 183 votes against.
The Senate had a similar situation, 60 to 38
votes, with only three Republican votes in
favor.
According to the Associated Press and
USA Today, the package will include billions towards colleges, public schools, and
students.
The package includes the largest funding increase for Pell Grants. Nationally
the package incorporates almost $17 billion just for the Pell Grant program alone.
Currently eligible students' benefits go up
to $4,700. With this package, financial aid
would increase nearly 9 percent starting
July 1 and up to $5,550 in 2010. Most beneficiary students come from families whose
income is less than $40,000.
Another benefit that would come along is
a tax credit. $13 billion would go towards
higher education tax credits. Students at
four-year colleges and their families are to
benefit from a higher education tax credit
that would go up $2,500. According to the
San Francisco Chronicle, in California
alone, this tax credit could help more than
500,000 students.
It is calculated that California would get
the most out of this package. Over the next
two years, California would receive 10 percent, around $80 billion, of the package.
California's current budget deficit would
benefit from this package. The state is currently at a record high $42 billion deficit.
College life among students will definitely be affected by the stimulus package.
Student Michael Medel explained, "When
it comes to college students, I do think that
the stimulus package will positively affect
many potential and current students who
couldn't afford to pay for college.
"By increasing the amount of eligible
students for the Pell Grant and helping with
tax benefits, the plan might give that extra
push to people who were only thinking
about attending college to actually attend
and help current students stay in college to
finish their degrees," continued Medel.
Another student, Daniela Fulop, believes
the stimulus package will have a positive
effect. "I'm very optimistic about Obama's

plan. I believe it will make a difference,
especially for college students. In these
times, we need all the help we can get!"
Fulop commented on the difference this
stimulus package will have on students,
"I'm sure we'll see some differences,
at least on our Financial Aid Reports.
Those who got little or no financial aid
in the past, now have higher hopes. I'm
thankful that they are concerned about
us 'poor college students!'"
Other benefits from this stimulus
package include $39 billion towards
K-12 grade schools and colleges that
would help to prevent state budge cuts.
Additionally, nearly $8 billion would go
to schools' priorities such as building
renovations.
More than $4 billion would be for the
Head Start, for other early education programs and childcare programs.
Home purchases fromfirst-timehomebuyers before December 1 would be eligible for an $8,000 tax credit. Also, consumers purchasing a new car would be
eligible to write off the sales taxes.
Starting around June, workers who
earn less than $75,000 would get a $400
tax dredit, about $13 extra each weekly
paycheck. The tax credit would go up to
$800 for couples who combined income |
earn less than $150,000. These tax creck

Chancellor Reed stated in a recent
communication release to CSU employees that the previously proposed $66 million budget cut will be permanent. He
also established a fixed full-time equivalent student (FTES) number for fiscal
year 08-09 and 09-10. FTES is a method
of calculating the student population in
terms of bodies and units taken.
Essentially, we are in a zero population growth situation, which equates to
a very simplistic approximation that for
every student that goes out the door,
one can come in. As a result, first-time
college applicants may find acceptance
harder to come by. The state decided to
have the CSUs take a regional approach
t o enrollment, meaning local applicants
have priority.
One of the problems of zero growth
isgthat the money coming in remains
the same, so there has to be an increase
in fees. The proposed fee increase for
next year is 10%. In lieu of that negative
image, Chancellor Reed froze salaries
for CSU Vice Presidents and above, as

also very specific and don't contribute to

The belt tightening also affects equipment
purchases. This consists of facilities design
and construction, which includes new educational building construction and upgrade
of old buildings. You will be happy to know,
however, that construction of our new parking facility will be unaffected by these
budget cuts since the funds for construction
are provided through private funds, bond
issues, and of course your parking fees.
The McMahan House is also included
in this elite category since it is privately
funded. The McMahan House is the construction project on the hill just above the
Track and Field competition area. It is to
be a ceremonial meeting place between the
community and the University.
Neal Hoss, CSUSM Vice President ofUniversity Advancement, stated that "whatever
the budget realities are, the campus and university leadership are committed to moving
forward and doing the best we can."
In talking to Margaret Lutz, Public Information Officer, she said that the general
morale of staff personnel was good, despite
the budget cutbacks and wage freezes.
Lutz further explained, "It is probably the
number one issue on everyone's mind...
faculty, staff and students. But President
Haynes has positioned the university pretty
good... knowing that there might be a shortfall this year. We are better off than a lot of
the universities in the system, regarding the
budget. And I think that is because of President Haynes' foresight... anticipating the
situation and having us watch the expenditures closely last year."

back on track. For one, don't be
afraid to consolidate. If you're
overwhelmed by all your payments and have fallen behind,
choosing a non-profit credit
counseling program can help
you improve your credit. Debt
consolidation used to have negative effects on credit, but now
only helps improve it. Craig
Watts, an executive at Fair Isaac
& Co., says, "Today the FICO
score ignores any and all references in a credit report to credit
counseling or debt management
programs."
Always avoid bankruptcy
completely. Bankruptcy can
knock 200 or more points from
your otherwise fair credit score,
and recovering from it is very
tough. Bankruptcy can stay on
your record for up to 10 years,
and the majority of lenders will
reject bankrupt consumers.
Long story short, the next
time you find yourself wondering about your credit, remember
to start small to end up big, be
patient to let it grow, and always
make your payments on time.

Gihon G uisado (sautéed rice sticks)
V inegar: P antry's best kept secret!
BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ
Pride Staff Writer
Nowadays, there are a variety of cleaning
sprays and solutions to choose from for home
and laundry use. If you do any gardening, you
can understand that pesticides and fertilizers
are cosily and not always safe for our environment
For thousands of years, people have been
using vinegar for a variety of uses. Vinegar is
probably one of those things many ofus saw as
a kid but have forgotten about.
A household brand name, Heinz (yes, the
makers of ketchup), are also makers of vinegar. The H. J. Heinz Company has produced
vinegar in the United States for over 100
years. Vinegars range in taste, colors and use.
The vinegars produced by Heinz are natural,
low-calorie, kosher and gluten-free-(with the
exception of their apple cider flavored vinegar). Distilled white vinegar can be used for
more than cooking and pickling. The use of
distilled white vinegar rangesfromhome, outdoor and personal use. The following are just
a few of the many uses of distilled white vinegar: Household and appliance cleaner, Mouth-

A slice of Philly in S an M arcos
BY MATT LEWIS
Pride Staff Writer
If there is anything that the residents of Philadelphia, PA, are more
proud of, it is their Philly cheesesteaks. The ingredients are simple
enough: roast beef, cheese, onions,
and Italian bread (with many variations containing banana peppers,
pizza sauce, etc.). But residents of
Philly are often quick to pass harsh
judgment on these 'imitators' and
claim that a cheesesteak outside
of Philly just is not the same. One
local restaurant, however, is giving
places that claim to serve 'real'
cheesesteaks a run for their money.
This place is Philly Franks, located
at 151S. Rancho Santa Fe Road (left
off the exit) and is San Marcos' pre-
mier cheesesteak emporium.
Philly Franks was startedby Linda
and Frank Soper, the co-owners of
the restaurant, who continue to run
the restaurant as a family business.
"We are from Philly originally;
we've lived in San Diego for 35
years, and having been running this
place for 9 years" says Linda Soper.
If experience has taught them anything, it's that the two most valuable
things in life are family and food.
Not only does this restaurant make
_great food, it provides a sense of
community and home to local residents who hail from Pennsylvania.
The store is decorated with all sorts
of paraphernalia from the Eagles,
Sixers, Phillies, and Flyers. In addition to the décor, they serve local
products you just can't find in Cali-
fornia, like Tastykakes, Wise chips,
and Esposito's Italian Ices.
"The first time I went in there,
I knew they were the real deal. I
mean, to import that local food in
addition to the atmosphere really
makes it unique to San Diego. Plus,
the food is incredible" said Geoff
Acres, a San Diego resident and
Philly transplant. Tina McAleese,
the manager, imparts the sense of
community people have in the restaurant: "When people get together
here, whether they talk to us or the
customers or the locals, and they
get to talk about their hometown
and the stuff they care about, that's
really special." So most people
come to Philly Franks for the food,
many more stay for the casual and
friendly atmosphere and the oppor-
tunity to catch a game with friends.
Some Cai State students have
been singing Philly Franks praises
since they opened. "The cheesesteaks are awesome, plus the feet
that they're local makes it seem
likefriendsare running the place"
said Anthony Carlson, a junior at
CSUSM. "I remember they once
sponsored a blading contest down
at the Kit Carson Park, and brought
the grill out and everything: It was
awesome, there's no way any chain
restaurant would do something
like that". With its close proximity to campus and selection of fine
beers (including Stone and Alaskan
Amber), Philly Franks is definitely
worth checking out Need more
incentive? Well, they also offer a
10% discount with your student
ID. And when looking at the menu
and are unsure of what to get, just
remember the Philly saying: "It's all
good!"

tures and misadventures working
in a number of less-than-reputable eating establishments.
Perhaps the most important
part of the book is the stereotype
of the happy, obedient and invisible chef people often tend to
believe. The cooks he talks about
are real people— people like all
of us: mean, funny, addicted to
drugs, in debt for gambling, have
families. The chef community is
full of bitter people who swear,
get angry, and commit crimes,
not unfeeling robots who cook
food. There is a person behind
that $150 foie gras meal you
ordered. — a person who probably would have to save for weeks
to afford the very same meal.
The book used somewhat of a
dark humor and defiant attitude in
describing the modern restaurant
scene that may seem a little harsh
for some readers. Bourdain's
writing style is not intended to
put readers off, but to open their
eyes. Every person has flaws and
emotions, and its time restaurant

it's an entertaining and funny

get your food a little late, because
it means that there's more to story
than you might think.

D VD hits & misses
BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
Welcome to the second installment
of a new feature in The Pride. Here,
you will find reviews of a wide range
of DVD's including new releases f rom
the Hollywood movie factory, indie art
films, documentaries, rockumentaries
and mockumentaries, and even some
foreign flix to broaden your movie
horizons. From week to week expect
to find a mix of 'What to See' or
'What to Miss' films, or perhaps some
'What You Missed' films, to help you
to uncover a video gem hiding in the
dusty corner of the local Video Store
(or on Netflix!).
Our f irst selection this week is the
highly praised, highly hyped and
highly anticipated Hollywood Comic
Book blockbuster, f eaturing Batman
in "The Dark Knight." First, let it
be known that although I love many
comic book movies based on characters such as Hellboy and the X-Men, I
am not a Bat-fan. Also, when viewing
any movie that has garnered as much
praise as this one, such great expectations can easily lead to great disappointment. With "The Dark Knight,"
I f ind myself straining to hold back
on the praise. No one should be disappointed because I over-hyped it. Heath
Ledger. Wow. He delivers a stellar performance unlike any I have ever seen.
I don't think I will ever see a performance this great again. In this f ilm,
Heath Ledger doesn't simply create
a character. He is the Joker mind,
body and soul. His performance is so
entrancing* and shines so bright that
it almost, almost, leaves everyone else
in the shadows. But with an amazing
cast including such g ifted actors such
as Michael Caine portraying A lfred,
Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, Gary
Oldman as Commissioner Gordon,
and Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent,
there is little chance that Ledger's
shining star p erformance will completely eclipse the others. The movie
sets create a world so real that i t's
authenticity never comes into question. The direction, camera work and
editing are all f irst rate. And, the story
itself is a nicely woven tale of love,
love lost, and the s acrifices we make
in the interest of making our world a
better place. If you can see it in BluRay, make sure you do. The bottom
line is that this movie is not only a
solid ' What to See', but also a 'Not to
Miss.' *****
Our second film, "The Visitor" is
the second film f rom indie writer/director Thomas McCarthy, whose first film,
"The Station Agent," was a solid, quirky,
and heartwarming story of friendship and
connection. This film f urther examines
these themes with Richard Jenkins delivering a solid performance as Professor
Walter Vale. Walter has lost his wife, his
connections to the world, and his sense
of purpose. When Walter returns to his
apartment in the city for the first time in
years, he encounters Tarek and Zainab,
portrayed by Haaz Sleiman and Mouna
Khalil, who have rented the apartment
f rom one of Tarek's acquaintances. In the
aftershock of finding strangers living in
his apartment, Walter finds a bond growing with his newfound friends, Tarek
and Zainab. This connection can clearly
be f elt while watching the movie. Tarek
and Zainab are both here in the country
illegally. As events play out and Tarek is
torn f rom Walter's life, Walter desperately grasps to hold onto Tarek, and will
not willingly let him go. Do not look for
a happy, clean Hollywood plot line or
ending. Just know that if you are feeling
a drift and disconnected in this world,
this film j ust might help you to find your
path back to connection. Don't live a life
disconnected, and don't miss connecting
to this solid 'What to See' film. ****
The final selection this week is a documentary about competitive break dancing entitled "Planet B-Boy." The stories
in this film are at times a little choppy,
and the editing a little sloppy. You may
wish that they had not cut out so much
of the actual competition video footage. That's the bad news. On the p lus
side, this film follows several competitive break dance (also known as B-Boy)
teams f rom around the world as they converge in Germany for the B-Boy "Battle
of the Year" competition. The competitors come f rom countries all over the
world including Japan, South Korea,
France, the United States and more, all
trying to f ulfill the common dream of
being named the best B-Boy team on the
planet. If you are not familiar with this
art form, this film is the perfect introduction. All of these young men are committed to their art, their teammates and the
hope to show the world that their country
has the best B-Boy dancers in the world.
There is majesty in their dance, there
is athleticism in their performance and
a brotherhood within and among teams
that transcends the sport. My w ife said
it best a fter watching this film when she
said, "Maybe i t'll be an Olympic Sport
someday." That day can't come soon
enough for me. "What to See" for shiz-

People going to the cinema
this week will have better luck
at enjoying a film if they choose
one already in theaters. There are
only two major films releasing
this week, neither are worth the
price of a ticket.
First, there is Tyler Perry's
"Madea Goes To Jail." Actor and
director Tyler Perry once again
brings back his character Mable
Simmons, nicknamed "Madea,"
who is a sassy older AfricanAmerica woman. He continues
to milk this "cash cow" that he
started in 2005 with "Dairy of a
Mad Black Woman "
_ m, m -"smsr M m »

As the title would
suggest, this movie is
about Madea going to
jail. Like other movies
by Perry, I expect this
to be a flick based
around jokes and gags
rather than a plot. In
the end, there will be an
encouraging message

will be the film

Perry's score on Rotten
Tomatoes.
The other new entry to cinemas this week is "Fired Up!"
The movie poster, which boasts
two large letters, an "F" and a
"U," does not inspire hope that
thisfilmwill be any'good. "Fired
Up!" is about two guys going to
a cheerleader camp and the silliness that occurs. I expect this
film to be an emulsion of other
teen comedies, such as "Bring It
3 00 GIRLS.
YOU D O THE MATH.
Image courtesy ofSony Entertainment
On," rather than anything entertaining or new.
Frankly, this film is going to be
a waste of time. It is not artful or
entertaining and will only gain
an audience of teenagers because
it borders on soft-coré pornography. Unfortunately, movies like
this will continue to be made
because people who cannot
handle a decent film go to see
them.

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

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

Browser battle
Google Chrome joins the arena at CSUSM
B Y SARAH H UGHES
N EWS EDITOR
You might have noticed this
semester how computers all
over campus, in classrooms,
the library and computer labs
now have Google Chrome,
in addition to other browsers.
When
picking
their
browser of choice, students
should care about which
one they use at school and
at home because of speed,
security and user friendliness, which can vary between browsers. The addition of Chrome on CSUSM
computers is intriguing.
Represented prominently
on the toolbar, Chrome depicts itself with a red, yellow and green circle with a
blue dot in the center. People have been excited for
its release since Sept. 2008,
which was originally for
Windows. The first stable
release was in Dec. 2008.
Chrome seems to be
on a mission to provide a
browser with speed, simplicity, security, privacy,
customization and signing in, as their "Explore the
Chrome Browser" portion
of their product info states.
They seem to have found
a market for themselves,
as Google has crossed over
into the mobile devices arena, with both phones and
browsers. With the advent
of the smartphone, computer
preferences seem to be less
presumed or pronounced.
New names besides Microsoft and Windows are
popular in the vernacular.
Perhaps Chrome will be
for CSUSM students now.
Google Chrome
on the campus
computers is featured on the desktop of the lilac's, by
Sarah Hughes.
"Chrome, is designed to
keep you safer and more
secure on the web with
built-in malware and phishing protection, auto-updates
to make sure you have all
the latest security fixes,
and more,"
Chrome's
Browser Features list said.
Mobile devices are still a
growing place, technologically speaking. Many will
report smartphones with hiccups and browser content
problems ,*from a variety of
characters. Most can remember a time when they tried to
load a webpage on a supposed
smartphone, only to have it
fail or look unseemly. Many
web pages were created long
ago to work on non-mobile
PCs. Chrome seems to be
created to fill the space of a
need for compliance in the
realm of the mobile device.
Whether it is an adequate solution, seems to be up to debate. With students expressing complaints about campus
wifi, hopefully Chrome will
serve as a sufficient browser for when they log in.
Infosecurity Magazine (online) reported in July 2013
that "there is no single 'most
secure' browser, reports
comparing the major browsers' ability to catch phishing,
prevent socially engineered
malware and protect the us-
ers' privacy show that no one
browser stands above all others in protecting its users."
They then cite "NSS tests"
as showing no one browser
as better in all categories
tested. Infosecurity Magazine goes on to report the
"NSS tests" as giving the
following scores to browsers
in "average phishing URL
catch rate": Firefox version
19 - 96 percent, Safari - 95
percent, Chrome - 92 percent, Internet Explorer version 10 - 83 percent. Though
the browsers are relatively
close in security, this puts
Firefox at the top of the list,
Chrome in the middle and Internet Explorer at the bottom,
Yet a Oct. 2013 Analyst
Brief by Randy Abrams of
NSS Labs, Inc. states that
"Microsoft's Internet Explorer continues to provide
the best combination of malware and phishing protection. The application reputation technologies used by
browsers from both Microsoft and Google provide a
significantly safer browsing
experience than do browsers from Apple and Mozilla."
Perhaps the problem is
in the age of customization, many can't agree on
what's
most
important
to them in their browser and computer needs.
Farmers Market's are well known for the produce, flowers, honey and unique products sold to consumers that often cannot easily be found elsewhere. CSUSM offered a Farmers Market on campus but what has,become of it?
Flower bundles by Sarah Hughes.
New Farmers Market ordinances mean change?
How the new laws are a ffecting t he C SUSM tradition
B Y C HELSEY S CHWEITZER
& SARAH H UGHES
STAFF W RITER & N EWS EDITOR
New farmers' market ordinances have resulted in
more worry than change-.
The prospect of the new
Urban Agriculture Ordinance had many people
worried over what these
changes would bring.
Those who rely on farmers markets for the majority of their produce feared
that these changes to the
prdinance could result in
large changes to the farmers markets themselves.
When the changes were
approved and enacted, however, it became apparent that
these fears could be put to
rest. With the most current
update to the Urban Agriculture Ordinance, which
was put into effect in March
of last year, local farmers
are now allowed to "keep
chickens — but not roosters — two beehives and dehorned mini goats in their
backyards as long as they're
kept far enough away from
neighboring structures," as
summarized in an article on
the topic from KPBS News.
This has resulted in few
changes, however, other than
slightly increased business as
a result of legally being able
to raise chickens and goats.
Though this change seems
like a minor one to the markets
themselves, it has improved
upon the farmers' methods
and made great strides for
the local farming operations.
~ "Before the new changes in
the ordinances, we had a lot
of people that were interested in raising their own food,
having their own chickens,
bees, goats, [etc.]," the owner of City Farmers Nursery
in San Diego [Farmer] Bill
Tall said in an interview with
KPBS News. "They would
come in and get a few baby
chicks that we sold in order
to raise chickens in secret,
but we didn't sell feed and
feeders and all. Now people
are able to do it legally, with
certain parameters. Local
farming has really grown."
Both growing popularity of farmers markets and
their role in providing fresh
locally grown produce have
made them a feature for the
community. CSUSM's own
market provides a place for
people to relate to the university who might otherwise not. Students, staff and
non-students are welcome.
"The CSUSM Fanners
Market, sponsored by the
Farm Bureau of San Diego
County, will feature approximately 25 vendors every
week. Visitors,to the market
will have the opportunity to
select from a large variety
of fresh, locally produced,
healthful produce including San Diego grown fruit,
vegetables, eggs, honey
as well as enjoy demonstrations, music, artisanal
breads and prepared foods,
tastings and more," according to CSUSM's" website.
CSUSM's Farmers Market meets on campus every
Wednesday .from 3 p.m.
to 7 p.m. in parking lot B.

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

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

Effective cardio for those short on time

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

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

and alter muscle metabolism

in
V02max (maximal oxygen uptake) is another benefit from HUT. According
to CSUSM Kinesiology
professor Dr. Astorino, this
indicates an integration of
cardiorespiratory and muscle function to deliver and
use oxygen during exercise.
It is considered to be one of
the most important indicators
of cardiorespiratory fitness.
Basically the higher your
V02max is , the less of a risk
you have for premature death
and disease.
This form of exercise might
just be what you are looking for during the holidays.

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

The CSUSM men's and
women's cross country
teams managed impressive
team finishes of 13th and
8th place, respectively, at the
NAIA National Championships held in Kansas on Nov.
23.
With temperatures in the
mid 20s, dropping to midteens with the wind chill, the
CSUSM men's and women's
cross country teams faced
a tough challenge mentally
and physically.
"You just can't train for
extreme cold when it is 70
degrees," cross cojuntry
coach, Steven Scott, said.
"Under the horrible conditions, I felt both teams did
real well."
Western Nelson's fourth
Ail-American Award at
last weekend's NAIA cross
country national championships makes him the only
athlete in CSUSM's history
to have been honored as an
All-American in all four
seasons of a sport.
"Before the race started
it wasn't f un being there in
the cold weather. During
the race, it was all I could
think about. But thankfully
it was cold enough that
I wasn't able to feel any of
my body parts which made it
much easier for me to ignore
ail the pain in my legs," Nelson said.
For other CSUSM runners,
the experience was bittersweet. Despite impressive
performances in less than
desirable conditions, Steven Ing, Heidi Swanson and
Kate Bouvatte fell just shy
of the coveted All-American
Award.
With this season coming to
a close, CSUSM cross country is looking toward the f uture with high hopes as many
of their top runners will be
returning next year.

The Pacific Marine Credit Union O'Side Turkey Trot drew a
record crowd of 10,000 runners
and walkers this Thanksgiving.
It was a fun run for a good
cause, and CSUSM was represented by a very familiar face..
The Cougar's head cross
country and track coach, Steve
Scott, competed in the race. This
member of the USA Track and
Field Hall of Fame has run more
sub-four minute miles than any-
one else in history, the number
being 136 to be exact. He also
set a record that stood firm for
25 years with a mile time of
3:47.69.
Scottfinishedthefivemile run
this weekend with an impressive
time of 20:25 at a 6:33 pace per
mile. This was good enough to
give him a 134 overallfinishout
of a massive amount of participants. Looks like he can still do
more than just coach winning
teams.
The Turkey Trot allows for
its contestants to designate a
portion of their entry fees to go
towards supporting local nonprofits or schools. A popular
non-profit attracting more than
500 entrants was the Austin Bice
Memorial Scholarship Fund.
The Move Your Feet Before
You Eat Foundation, which promotes physical activity among
youth, is directly supported by
the race as well.
With a record crowd for the
Turkey Trot this year, a considerable amount of funds should
go towards helping great causes.

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

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

Street, in La
Jolla. Photo of

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

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

"We have students that

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

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

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

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

�Let's start the GMO conversation
Creating public awareness about toxic food
BY KATALINA L AWRENCE
STAFF WRITER
Students at CSUSM have
the right to know what they
are consuming, and building
awareness of GMO's implications can save lives.
GMOs are not placed inside the foods that we eat.
It is put in the seeds that are
used to make all the foods
that we eat. Many GMOs
also contain something called
glyphosate, which is a weed
killer that can be extremely
damaging to humans. It poisons our healthy bacteria,
and goes into our bloodstream causing neurological
damage. GMOs also contain
promoters with proteins that
wake up genes and bacterias

Group projects are controversial class dynamic
BY R ICO PALMERIN
FEATURES EDITOR .
Following an announcement of a group project,
many students moan and
groan because of bad experiences.
Lack of partner participation results in a lower grade
for the group, not just the individual. Other students are
very independent and enjoy
relying solely on their own
abilities to earn their grade.
With s a much antagonism
toward group projects, why
do teachers continue to assign them? Do they just not
care what students think? Or
do they see group projects in
a different light? *
Professor Doller uses group
projects as a large portion of
the grade for her FMST 300:
"In general, I find students a re at
first quite anxious and w orried when
they learn that there will be required
group projects. Students a re understandably concerned that their grades
wifl depend on someone else's performance/7 - Sandra Doller
Elements of Cinema course.
"I believe group work challenges students in some very
productive - ways, inviting
them to think beyond their
own perspectives, to share
ideas, to be inspired by each
other's creativity, and to
form bonds with other students," Assistant Professor
of Literature & Writing Studies, Sandra Doller, said.
Perhaps nothing in our
courses gives us a taste of the
real world as much as group
projects do. They force us
into uncomfortable situations, with people we don't
know very well, and demand
that we work together productively. Any students who
have had a job, volunteered
at an organization or even
joined £ club can see the parallels here.
This is why group projects,
for as much as they hurt,
help us even more. They pull
us away from our academically reinforced sense of
self-dependence and help to
prepare us for reality outside
of school.
As Doller points out,
"Group projects build a sense
of camaraderie and community, which I think is one of
the most important things in
keeping students engaged in
their own learning."
Group projects aren't the
flu, but the bitter medicine
we need. So next time a
group project comes up, instead of responding with the
negative, habitual groan,
students should make a conscious effort to have a good
experience and invest t hemselves in the assignment, and
others, will follow hopefully
follow their lead. This is college. Time to stop acting as
if caring about academic curricula isn't cool.

'John Dies a t the End' A trophied L andscape

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

race and racism through his

setting such as the piece
mentioned above. His sculptures and installations also
reflected on the complexities
of racism that enlightened a
point of how departed society is from discussing U.S.
oppressions and colonial attitudes.
His education sprouted
through the works of Maryland Institute College of
Art in Baltimore, where he
studied and attended San
Francisco Art Institute after
getting situated in San Francisco.
Today, Somerville's work
has been included in numerous museum exhibitions.
One in particular enlightens
the view on human rights,
which is "The State of Human Rights." It is an international exhibition consisting
of 70 contemporary artists
who devote their styles of art
to human rights.
Overall, this would be a
great place to see as a family.
It opens a sense of unusual
thoughts that are not usually
triggered during the realm of
being part of society caused
by of all its distractions such
as the media, politics, religion and propaganda.
That being said, let us enjoy
a true sense of freedom for
once under the open-minded
views brought by contemporary art and its attempts of
expanding thoughts far beyond one's imagination.
The museum is in Downtown San Diego at the Jacobs
Building at 1100 Kettner. It is
open from 11 a m. to 5 p m.
every day except Wednesdays.

STAFF WRITER
There are hundreds of superheroes nowadays, but
how many of them are gods?
At least one, that's for sure.
When Marvel's demigod
from Asgard made his bigscreen debut in 2011, Thor's
film didn't have quite as big
an impact as Iron Man or
Captain America. But it's
still a good watch. Thor returned a year later alongside
our aforementioned heroes
and others to stop his brother Loki's evil plans in The
Avengers. Now after another
year, Thor is back for more.
Thor: The Dark World engrosses its audience more
than its 2011 predecessor.
While Thor placed more focus on the Asgardian's character development than on
super awesome action scenes
those superhero movies are
known for, The Dark World
involves a lot more action
than anything.
So what is our demigod
hero (Chris Hemsworth) up
against this time? An evil
elf named Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) wants to
destroy the universe with a
destructive weapon known
as the Aether (must be a

Some people may eiyoy the classics while others prefer

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

It is officially the
holiday
season.
According to rookiemag.
com, "The mall is a very
scary place during the holidays" and I agree, especially
for a college student on a
budget. "But never fear, there
is an alternative to this nightmare: the thrift store. If you
know how to maneuver one,
you can find thoughtful, creative gifts that won't empty
your wallet or contribute to
the consumerist hype of the
holiday season." Also, the
thrift store is a great place
to elevate your wardrobe.

wandering the aisles, looking at the endless selection

to the Salvation Army thrift
store at Poway. Everything
was 50% off! And I was cruising down the men's aisle and
I happened to stumble across
a velvet blazer. I tried it on
and itfitperfectly. Compared
to department store prices,
that blazer would have been
priced around hundreds of
dollars and I got it for less
than ten bucks. I also got
a black tee shirt with a cat
on it for a (dollar. I also got
a cute little nick-knack for
less than fifty cents. It was
a wooden cat and it looked
like something you would
get at4 Urban Outfitters for
like thirty dollars. Overall
my thrifting experience was
a successful one and I suggest that my readers take
advantage of the wonderful worlcf of the thrift store.
I am from Chula Vista,
way down south from San
Marcos. Whenever I go back
home to San Diego, I try to
go thrifting. I usually go to
Broadway and the whole
street is filled with thrift
stores. I budget my spending to about $20, and I usually come home with a trash
bag filled to the rim with
my purchases. Moving to
San Marcos, I want to look
for moire thrift stores, and I
know that there are plenty of
them close by. i want to go to
Oceanside and go thrifting.
I believe thrift stores are
great places for students
who are on a budget especially during the holiday
season. Thrift stores are everywhere. No matter wherever you live, they are bound
to be around somewhere.

T he C SUSM student arrested last month f or allegedly hacking into the
webcams and computers of
women around the world including Miss Teen U SA
- pleaded guilty to the
crimes in an Orange County, courtroom last week.
Jared James Abrahams , 19,
of Temecula, pleaded guilty
to three counts of extortion
and one count of unauthorized computer access in a
U.S. District Court in Santa
Ana on Nov. 12. He could
face up to 11 years in prison.
In a brief interview with The
Cougar Chronicle on Nov.
Dec 4,2013
i 8, an F BI official said Abrahams will remain on bond until h e f aces sentencing, which
is scheduled f or March 17.
Abrahams admitted t o gaining unauthorized access t o
multiple w omen's computers
and infecting their computers with malware. He hacked
their online accounts t o extort them into sending naked
photos and v ideo, threatening to post those photos online unless his victims agreed
t o a five-minute Skype session with him, according t o
a j oint statement by the F BI
and U.S. A ttorney's O ffice.
The suspect's victims allegedly included women
f rom all over the w orld, including Southern C alifornia,
C anada, Russia- and I reland.
According t o the F BI, these
victims included Miss Teen
USA Cassidy Wolf, formerly
of Temecula, and one minor.
While it has been widely
reported that Abrahams is
a computer science m ajor,
C SUSM university officials
confirmed last month that
h e is actually a second-year

NEWS EDITOR
Here it is again - as students
are edging ever closer to finals, it is also time to sign up
for winter and ¡spring classes.
Students are painstakingly scurrying to pick the
right classes, despite approaching finals. For many
of us, crafting a schedule
is an added annoyance to
the combination of studying for finals and other important
responsibilities.
"I hate how they have
us signing up before finals, it is super stressful! I
am more excited for graduating than for next semester," CSUSM student,
Stephanie Borders, said.
Other students expressed
excitement for choosing
new classes, but were still
stressed by small selections.
" I'm very excited f or next
semester, school and signing up f or classes has always been very intense and
fast paced, but I always get
excited to see what classes will soon be available.
I wish there . were more
options!" CSUSM student Kristin Bebout said.
2013
underway
Most students are struggling to make their schedules
fulfill both general education and major requirements.
Many of them are also trying to make a schedule that
will give them adequate time
for the rest of their lives:
work, study time, friends,
family and sleep. But there
are a whole host of unusual sounding classes which
many may not know about.
The following are just a few
noticeable options that can
be found while searching the
class schedule. ENTR 320,
taught by Bennett Cherry, is
titled "Creativity, Innovation
and Entrepreneurship" and
meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at both 8 a.m. or 1 p.m.
A bit of an enigma, LTWR
107 is taught by " Staff' and
is simply titled "Humor."
It meets at 1 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. Other artistic pursuits include
MUSC 395 and VSAR 110.
Described as "Intro to
Sculpture," VSAR
110
meets on Fridays at noon
taught by David Avalos or
2 p.m. taught by "Staff."
Titled "Javanese Gamelan
Ensemble," MUSC 395
meets
Wednesdays
at
5:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m.
and is taught by "staff."
Some music classes feature
studio recording segments
and give students an opportunity to utilize the on-campus
recording studio. Recently a
student in passing said how
the recording studio is "really good and has great sound
equipment," as well as how
he was going to use it while
he was a student here. Visual and Performing Arts
classes also often give students access to a long list of
creative resources students
may not have at home. These
range from a black-box theatre and art gallery to studios and digital media labs.
A class near and dear to
The Cougar Chronicle's
heart, VPA 495 is called "Internship" and provides journalistic knowledge from an
academic advisor from The
Union Tribune. Students can
take it as VPA 495A which
counts for 1 unit, or VPA
495C which counts for 3
units. This allows students,
with busy schedules to have
more ease in fitting in the
course. It meets Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to
11:45 a m . and is open to all
interested in journalism, regardless of major. To get the

Though a lack of available
classes, finals and a long list
of requirements are frustrating, students may have
a chance to try something
different. T ry«to take advantage of credit difficulties
which sometimes make for
a less than desirable schedule and consider looking for
an elective to create a better
schedule. Under "Additional Search Criteria" one can
specify times and days they
would like to go to class with
a few simple mouse clicks.
On limits for course registration,
the
CSUSM
website says that "undergraduate students will be
allowed to register for up to
17 units and to waitlist for
no more than 10 units for
the Spring 2014 semester."
Sometimes, it is good to
have a bit of diversity built
into a. busy schedule, since
this helps build well-rounded
students. For those trying to
get through school quickly,
it may seem difficult to add
more classes for f un, but it
is definitely worth the time.

Recently, the Coaster's
leadership proposed banning booze among riders.
While that ban has been
withdrawn, drinking on the
•A9' 49
Amtrak trains have been restricted after 9 p.m. since
2009. The proposed and
couched ban is one move in
a long history of San Diego's
aversion to booze in its public spaces. Many riders, who
may be coming fronrwork or
school, like to unwind while
? riding with a beer or wine.
Some people have argued that since those riding the train are using
public transportation and
not driving, they are not
being reckless or technically driving intoxicated.
"The Coaster is one of the
region's few public-transit
serviqes that permit alcohol
consumption. Open alcohol
containers are banned on all
of San Diego County's trolleys and buses, as well as on
the Sprinter light rail that travels between Oceanside and
Escondido," Chris Nichols
of The Union Tribune said.
The Oceanside ban would
have taken effect Nov. 21
when the North County
Transit District's board of
directors had scheduled to
evaluate it, due to an increase
in complaints about obnoxious drunken passengers.

Coaster

last evening stop.

Walbourne.
The district spokeswoman,
Deborah Castillo, cites the
withdrawal as being because
of a recent backlash against
Jhe ban that has surfaced
since the it was proposed.
Previous bans began early
with Prohibition affecting the
nation from 1920 to 1933.
Beer, wine and liquor were
made illegal except f or medicinal uses by hospitals and
medical officials. It was mandated by thè 18 th Amendment {enacted in 1920),
which was made possible
by the Volstead Act (1919).
The 21st Amendment would
repeal the 18th in 1933.
In the 1970s, most CA
beach communities banned
alcohol on the shore. It took
San Diego until 2008 to do
this, shattering a link between
these luxurious beaches and
the image of a vacationer
with a cocktail. The ban had
been voted on after a series
of complaints about disruptive drinkers and solidified
with Labor Day riots on Pacific Beach that elicited riot
gear and pepper spray from
officers of the peace. This
furthered the resolve of ban
proponent Kevin Faulconer.
"Under no circumstances
is it ever OK to have that environment happening . . . We
have an obligation to protect
people at the beach, and what
happened on the beach was
not safe," Faulconer said.
In 2010, the booze ban
extended from beaches to
the bays themselves. Protests ensued into Mission
Bay, in an innertube-assisted 'floatopia' leading
up to the ban's enactment.
Self-checkout for alcohol was banned in 2011
and went into effect Jan. 1,
2012. It was part of an effort
to prevent sales to minors.
Temperance,
prohibition, beaches, bays and
grocery stores appear to be
the movements leading up
to the proposed booze ban
on the Coaster. There may
be little connection, other
than the land they occur on,
which is California public
space. For now, a total ban
has been put aside on certain transit c a r s , but riders
stffl can't drink before 9 p.m.

A combined 20 male and
female cross country team

14 will actually compete.
"Anything can happen.
I think we have the mak-

According to Scott, Nationals is a completely different atmosphere with 310
people on the line at the start
of the race . The whole race is
won or lorst in the first mile.
Over the next two weeks,
the team will focus on
maintaining their fitness
and staying relaxed in order to keep pressure at a
minimum. Beyond Nationals, the cross country teams
will have many of their top
runners returning next year.
If only one word could be
used to sum up the experience
of the San Diego Electric

After the sun set, the

The lights and jams of the
San Diego Electric Run filled
the air. Over 5,000 people
packed the chute to start
the 5K. It looked more like
a dance club than a starting
line. Runners and walkers
waited in anticipation as the
DJ blasted some grooves.
Finally the countdown
came, and the first wave of
runners were off down the
course. It was lined with
lights, amps and enthusiastic volunteers. The course
wound its way through s ev-'

and eventually made its way
to the finish party, where
there were more lights, music, a stage and refreshments.

The Cougars averaged
35-12 last season and won
the A ll tournament in Georgia, but unfortunately did
not have the best of luck at
the national tournament.
Coach Pugh feels that
there are some key factors to help them get back
to nationals this year.
"Our team looks good so
far. We have strong pitching and competitive new
players who are hungry

There are a few players
who will step up into key
roles. Tyler Bernard, who is
a senior this year, is a shortstop f or the Cougars. He
was A ll first team, led the
team with 131 assists, 47
runs and was ranked No. 22
in NAIA in runs scored per

Kyle Kuck, who is also a
senior this year, started 35
of 36 games. As a freshman,
Brandon Bentson was named

Speaking on behalf of the

Professors should

Reflecting on what is most important to us
B Y ZACH SCHANZENBACH
B Y NOELLE FRIEDBERG
STAFF WRITER
Thanksgiving is just
around the corner, and now
is the perfect time to reflect
on'what we are thankful for.
I f or one am grateful f or
my education. Education
has molded and shaped-all
of us into the people we
are today. School is something that most students
take for granted because it
is so time-consuming and
requires so many hours of
hard work. Some also feel
the privilege of an education is a basic right, but in
reality we are extremely
lucky compared to others.
The United States is one of
the top ten most educated
countries in the world. We
should feel fortunate to call
this place our home.
I know it is easy to think
of school as a chore, but it
is also such a blessing. One
of the main reasons we are
who we are today is because
of the teachers who have
poured their knowledge into
our lives, all of the time we
spent learning to read and
write and because of all of
our crazy professors who
challenged us to think more
critically.
I think it is time that we
become more appreciative
of all of the years of schooling we have been privileged
to learn f rom. Without them,
who knows where or who
we would be and what kind
of worldview we would
hold. It was in school that
we made some of our closest
friends, learned how to multiply and were taught about
the founding of our country.
Your education is the only
reason you can even read
any of the words on this
page and the ability to read
is definitely something to be
thankful for.
So on Thanksgiving when
you are sitting around the
dinner table stuffing you|*
face with turkey and delicious pies, take a second to
think about all of your years
of education and how f ar
they have brought you.

Professors provide students with
course outlines, but their habit of
regularly changing the schedule
leaves them feeling disorganized.
When professors hand you a syllabus,
i t's supposed to outline the course and
what to expect through the semester. It often includes grading policies , guidelines
and contact information f or the professor. Most professors will also lày out the
semester in a convenient and well-formatted schedule. Busy students will
make use of this and appreciate formal
layout as it will help them to keep track
of their work as thè semester continues.
What students may not have noticed was the little note on the bottom of the page that states that the
schedule subject to change at any
time. When the professor announces a
change in the schedule, students begin
to flip through their planners to rearrange their schedule and disregard the
old syllabus that no longer applies.
In all fairness, professors d on't usually plan on changing the schedule
just to make students mad. Sometime schedule changes are completely out of the professor's control. But
if a professor anticipates a change in
schedule throughout the semester, as
some do, then it may be best t o reevaluate creating a syllabus at all as the
back and forth may cause confusion.
Including a schedule in certain
courses, such a s math, is a good idea
as the formulas usually stay on task.
With a class that doesn't deal with
numerical concepts, including a continually disrupted schedule may
be hazardous to a student's grade.
If professors are going to change
a schedule, then it is advisable to
give students a revised copy in order
to
maintain
organization.

With so many shows

It truly is a commitment t o

Luckily, Netflix created a
new, alluring series entitled
Orange is the New B lack.
Amongst other renowned
Netflix-produced series like
Arrested Development and
House of Cards, Orange
is the New Black does not

in July of this year, with
all 13 episodes available
at once. The show already
m ade a huge buzz and has
a large, dedicated f an base.
T he series f ocuses on Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a woman in her thirties
with a seemingly perfect
l ife in. New York. She has
a supportive fiancé (played
by Jason Biggs) and a new
business venture that is
quickly taking o ff. This all
changes, however, when
P iper's past catches u p with
her and she goes~to prison
due t o a drug-related c rime.
T he series mainly f ocuses
on P iper's time in Litchfield
Penitentiary and the women
she meets there. With a misfit
c ast that includes an ex-lesbian lover, a super-religious
meth addict, a vindictive
Russian cook and m ore, the
show is entertaining and addictive. Orange is the N ew
Black
Black successfully draws the
viewer in with flashbacks,
intellectual dialogue and intricate storylines. Because of
its unique plot devices, the
series is able t o show what
this experience can d o t o a
person and how it changes
t hem. It f orces Piper t o f ace
the f ears that she could otherwise avoid on the outside.
Although Piper is not ^
necessarily a likeable lead

a relatable o ne. It is almost
r efreshing t o find a f emale
anti-hero in this golden
age of television. In f act,

Heightened concern over increased sexual assault reports
Third documented assault since semester onset
By Jasmine Demers
Community News Editor
CSUSM students have
been exposed to a harsh
reality and have reacted
in response to a significant increase in reported
sexual assaults on campus.
Campus police are currently investigating two additional sexual assaults that
occurred at The Quad in September. On Sept. 24, UPD
was informed of an alleged
rape that reportedly occurred
between Sept. 18 and 19. Another assault was reported on
Oct. 3 and was said to have
occurred between Sept. 12
and 14, less than two weeks
prior to the first report. Each
of the alleged rapes reportedly took place at the residence hall where both suspects had attended a party.
Since the semester began
in August, crime alerts have
been issued for a total of three
sexual assaults. The university recently issued its annual
Jeanne Clery report, which
shows campus crime statistics for 2011 through 2013.
According to the disclosure,
there were zero reported
sexual assaults in 2011, one
reported sexual assault in
2012, and one reported sexual assault in 2013. CSUSM's
reported assaults have tripled
within just a couple months
of the 2014 school year.
CSUSM student, Lizbeth
Moreno, commented on the
issues surrounding assault
in the campus community.
"It's infuriating that this
keeps happening but people
need to know that this is a
reality for so many different people," Moreno said.
She explained the importance of students coming
together to end sexual assault in the community, but
she also said that there are
some positives that come
from survivors being brave
enough to tell their story.
"In a way, I think it is a very
good thing that we are seeing
more reports. In past years,
there have been a very small

amount of sexual assault cases that were actually reported
to the police," Moreno said.
"There are so many women
who don't want to be re-victimized and who are afraid
of being blamed, so they
would rather sweep it under
the rug than have to relive
it. But, it looks like that may
be changing little by little."

"What we want survivors to know is that they

CSUSM students are ready

to please contact campus

CSUSM's new Veterans Center inspires elevated involvement

Ever since the ribbon cutting ceremony at the new
Veteran's Affairs center, the
new facility has become
a welcoming hot spot for
veterans, staff and the en-
There has been a noted
increase in both veterans
already associated with the
center as well as newcomers
who previously never really
had the chance to visit. "The
new central location and design of the VA Center seems
to invite and draw people in
as if it just 'looks' like the
type of place to stop in and get
answers or direction," said
Alexis Bruno, a SN Criminology and Sociology major.
The layout of the new center was designed specifically
for, and succeeded at, creating a space that is welcoming, informative, relaxing
and constructive as well in
the way of study and administrative designated areas.
The first few steps into the
front door present a friendly
and informative member at
the front desk leading right
into a large social area with
a large screen TV and seating for anyone who wants
to relax for a while or just
stop by for a quick break.
"The layout of the center
makes it much easier to focus
on school work at one end of
the center and leaves room at
the other end for camaraderie, entertainment and a more
social setting for exchanging information with fellow
members and students," said
Aixa Escobar, a SN Psych
major. "It sets up a more
open exchange of knowledge
and shared experiences."
One of the major accomplishments of the new VA
Center, whether it was an
intentional goal or that is
just happened, is that the
atmosphere seems to automatically break down previously existing barriers. Far
too often the very idea of a
veteran facility, or any military based center, almost always sets people 'on guard'
because they have a preconceived notion that they have
to be very formal and expect
a struggle with red tape.
"Ever since the opening of
the new VA Center, we've
noticed this sort of aura in
the atmosphere," said Claudia Oreegal, a SN Business
major. "My personal goal,"
said Oreegal, "is to make
anyone who walks through
the door feel comfortable."
Since the new Veteran
Center is attracting every
walk of student, the staff is
always mindful that each
new visitor may have specific needs that they think
no one will understand or be
able to help them with. After
just a short period of time
experiencing what the new
VA Center and staff have
to offer, students, veterans,
and dependents all end up
realizing that someone at
the center has been through
what they are going through.
The inviting atmosphere
of the new center combined with the knowledge
and information available
from the dedicated staff
continue to live up to the
new center's goal of being
a beacon of support for the
entire CSUSM community.

Guelaguetza, the latest
initiative to celebrate diversity and heritage on campus, was celebrated this past
Sunday. A festival meant to
celebrate Oaxacan heritage,
the event has been on campus annually since 2000.
The Guelaguetza has been
traditionally organized by
Coalition of Indigenous
Communities of Oaxaca
(COCIO), for 19 years in
San Diego. It is modeled after the original Guelaguetza
festival in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico, a region filled
with a mixture of cultures
and people. Every year people gather in the city for a
day of dance, music, food,
crafts and an overall sharing
of community and culture.
That same festival is now
reproduced and held on the
front lawn of the Kellogg Library. The festival showcases Oaxacan Mexican culture
with native folklorico dances
and musicians, artisan crafts
and traditional foods that
are all authentically Oaxa-
can. All proceeds from the
festival go directly to projects within the community.
At least 8,000 people
from the communities of
the San Diego area visit the
festival every year, as the
Guelaguetza i s considered a
particularly good place for
families, according to COCIO board director Cuez
Rodriguez, since there is
no drinking, nor any kind
of discrimination against
those who attend the event.
"We create a safe space
where the family can come
and be away from hostile
environments," Rodriguez
said. "Our festival is where
they can be comfortable."
CSUSM student organizations and the Anthropology
department both work with
COCIO in order bring , the
festival on campus, and so far
it has benefitted both sides of
the partnership.
According to Rodriguez, the association with CSUSM creates
jobs each year for the school
and helps spread COCIO's
message to the community.
It also allows children
who would not otherwise
experience a college campus to do so as a way of encouraging them to become
more acclimated to making
the transition in the future,
according to Rodriguez.
Student volunteers are also
a part of the staff, although
many did not know what to
expect when they first came
in. However, they all share
a desire to learn something
about the Oaxacan culture.
"It's a way different culture from my own and it's
very beautiful," second-year
volunteer at the Guelaguetza, Angelica Santiago, said.
"I want to keep my culture and learn more at the
same time," student volunteer, Yohita Mendez, said.
"There is a lot to learn still."
For COCIO, the primary purpose of the festival
is to create an environment that is safe for family attendance, which is,
in
general,
successful.
"The idea of family and
community together, that
is our definition of festival,"
Rodriguez
said.

Creating the dynamic,
digitial portfolio
CSUSM resumes will now stand out
By Katlin Sweeney
Editor-in-Chief
The ways that students
can catch the eyes of potential employers i s constantly evolving, evidenced
by the advent of the interactive, digital portfolio.
Portfolium, the new way
that students can bring a
youthful spark to the traditional resume, was introduced to students in early
September. The campus has
partnered with the company
by providing each student
with an account and encouraging them to utilize the
portfolio tool for an added
visual component when
going into j ob interviews.
Nicknamed by some individuals as a "Linkedln geared
more for students," Portfolium allows the user to demonstrate their professional and
personal interests by actually showcasing the projects
that they normally would
just mention in a resume.
With the success that
Portfolium has enjoyed at
other universities in California since its creation last
year, the administrators at
CSUSM became interested
in providing Portfolium as
a resource to students. Since
its official "introduction" to
campus a few weeks ago,
the CSUSM Portfolium network already features over
1,000 entries and more than
8,000 students have logged
in to begin their portfolio.
"Portfolium will benefit
CSUSM as an institution by
benefiting the communities
we serve," Vice President
of University Advancement,
Neal Hoss, said. "With the
ability to translate academic work and experiences
into the skills and criteria
that employers are looking
for, we hope our students
and alumni will be better
equipped to get the j ob or
promotion that will help them
advance in their careers."
According to Vice President Hoss, the administration's primary goals for Portfolium are to help students
build a more detailed, wellrounded portfolio, to connect
them to their peers and alumni and to attract more employers to hiring students at
CSUSM that meet the qualifications they are looking for.
In addition to this, the portfolio network will give pro-
spective students an opportunity to learn about the campus
and student body by viewing
CSUSM Portfolium profiles.
Eventually, the administration plans to possibly expand its reach to more of the
campus community as well.
"At some future point we
anticipate that this will be
made available to faculty
and staff, primarily in an
effort to support CSUSM
students and alumni who
have their digital portfolios
on Portfolium," Hoss said.
Some students may shy
away from using Portfolium in its entirety due to
the fact that it makes an
individual's projects and
work public online. However, there are ways to protect intellectual property
from being copied or stolen.
"Our team built Portfolium with the end user in
mind. That's why we made
sure each piece of content
within a user's portfolio has
its own privacy and visibility settings," Portfolium
CEO, Adam Markowitz,
said. "For the sensitive content, a user can set it so that
only trusted connections and
employers may view. For
the portfolio entries showcasing a student's passion,
lifestyle and hobbies, we
recommend keeping these
public to increase exposure and 'searchability.'"
Portfolium takes many
aspects of student usage
into consideration, including the omission of fees to
join, and use, the network
and no selling or sharing of
user content or information.
"Portfolium does not have
unrealistic terms of service,"
Markowitz said. "They are
almost identical to other
e-portfolio and social networks, including Wordpress,
DropBox and Linkedln."
In addition to the current
features, users can look forward to updates to how portfolios look, which according
to Markowitz will be in use
within the next few weeks.
Students that are interested
in logging into their Portfolium account to learn more
about updates and the ways
that they can share their experiences can go to https://
c susm.portfolium.com/.
"If ' a picture is worth
a thousand words,' then
Portfolium is worth a
terabyte,"
Hoss
said.

On Sept. 19, President
Barack Obama, along with
Vice President Joe Biden,
launched the "It's On Us"
campaign,

response
to the endemic cases of
sexual assault on American . college

advisor, Cathy Nguyen, said.
When asked on how the
college can get involved and
help victims, Nguyen said,
"we should become proactive bystanders and, as humans, need to be more sensitive and compassionate."
In solidarity with this philosophy, during the end of
October, many workshops
and lectures are lined up
on-campus to educate stu-
dents about their rights, as
well as to provide a community for victims of assault.
"I believe that his [Obama's] approach and initiative is likely to be successful
because it engages multiple
stakeholders, including the
media and possible future
perpetrators and bystanders,"
Professor Fernando Soriano,
whose area of expertise lies
in School-Based Violence
and Delinquency Prevention
Programming, said. "I think
that this campaign should
be publicized widely here
on campus, and that we as a
campus make it mandatory
for all incoming students to
read about the problem of
sexual violence, and that they
sign a pledge indicating that
they will help prevent sexual
violence from taking place."

Cougars head into final
gam
By Resty Grey
Sports Editor
The Women's Soccer
team continues to display
their
competitive
prowess under new head
coach Bobby Renneisen.
CSUSM opened its season with a tie against Eastern Oregon, but have gone
on to win seven of their
last nine matches, dropping only two games
against No. 18 Masters College and No. 3 Concordia.
Cougars have gathered exceptional contribution from
nearly the entire team. Women's Soccer finds help on offense and defense from the
starters as well as many role
players coming off the bench.
"We have a lot of depth on
our team and it shows," senior defender, Brianne Searl,

said in a post-game interview after having scored on
a free-kick from midfield.
Despite
only
having
one goal for the season,
Searl's exceptional play
does not go unnoticed.
Searl can defend with a
forceful kick that looks to engage her entire body. When
the ball nears her direction,
her 5 '6 frame leaps towards
it, suspending herself in midair as she gracefully snaps her
foot to send the ball across
the field, helping to change
the momentum of the game
back in CSUSM's favor.
Senior defenders, Nicole
Luna and Brooke Carter,
spend nearly every minute
of the game on the playing field alongside Searl.
Luna and Carter help to
find ways to stop opposing
plays along with helping
to dictate the playing field.
Defenders Karly Dunning and Monica Aguilar
show an eagerness on the
field to be a part of every
play. Every minute is spent
zealously disrupting passes
and creating offensive opportunities for the Cougars.
CSUSM has seemed to
have also found depth from
the freshman class in defender, Morgan Simmons.
Her ambition for soccer can
be seen to match many of the
veteran players on the team.
"Our team has really been
focusing on being a team,"
Paulina Good said in a postgame interview after having scored on a break away.
"We can't just run through
the games half-doing it.
We have to run through the
games running as hard as we
can and connecting passes."
Good's presence in the
midfield has been a substantial addition to the Cougars'
soccer prowess. Not only is
she an incredible defender,
she also has the ability to
create opportunities for other
players on her team such as
Amy Albur and Amy Young.
Players like Young and Albur add speed and tenacity to
CSUSM's offensive arsenal.
Albur's speed on the dribble
is unmatched, often beating
opponents down the field.
The depth goes on.
CSUSM has started off
strong and the Cougars are
hoping to continue building
momentum in theirfinalfive
games at home. Go Cougars!

As athletes, one basic
thing to know, other than to
warm up, is to stay hydrated
during a game, practice or
a workout. But sometimes
drinking water can get boring and that's when green
tea comes to the rescue.
Green tea originated in
China. Quite unlike the other teas, the main differences
between this tea is the degree
of fermentation. Though
white, green, oolong and
black teas come from the
same plant, green tea has
half the amount of caffeine
found in black tea, which is
the most popular one around.
There is a lot of hype surrounding green tea and apart
from a shift in taste, it actually does have a few important health benefits attached.

Stairmasters

Sports Columnist
"It kin't how hard you hit.
It's how hard you can get hit
and keep moving forward."
Rocky Balboa's most notable quote runs through your
mind as you climb up the
concrete staircases coming
from the drop-off zone in
front of the Craven building. The training montage
is famous among the minds
of students here on campus.
Let's face it, waiting on
an elevator can be time
consuming when in a hurry
and the parking lots are not
exactly conveniently located close to the lecture
halls. How many steps do
you think you take in a day
here on campus? How many
stairs do you think you take?
Kinesiology
professor,
Dr. Laura De Ghetaldi,
calls students on campus
"Cal State Stairmasters."
Melissa Browne, a junior majoring in kinesiology, wore a pedometer for
a day and her results were
astonishing. Starting in the
Craven parking lot, Browne
walked to her first class lo-
cated in University Hall.
Browne then walked from
University Hall to the Clarke
Gym for her final class of
the day. She took 4,092 steps
total, 394 of which were
stairs. Browne burned approximately 300 calories
just coming to school, not
even taking into account the
rest of her daily activities.
Vanessa Arroyoarroyo, also
a junior majoring in kinesiology, conducted the same
experiment which produced
similar results. Starting from
the circle in front of Craven
Hall, Arroyoarroyo walked
to her first class located in
University Hall. She then
walked to her second class
in Markstein Hall, followed
by her final class in the Social and Behavioral Sciences
Building. She walked a total of 4,104 steps and 542
stairs. Arroyoarroyo burned
about 400 calories just showing up to school for three
classes. This is the equivalent to that 380-calorie,
grande pumpkin spice latte
you enjoyed this morning.
One would not believe
that walking could yield
such positive health ben-
efits. Briskly walking around
CSUSM's campus can burn
some serious calories in a
day, especially for those
too busy with work and
school to exercise daily.
According to the Mayo
Clinic, a brisk walk can help
maintain a healthy weight,
strengthen bones, as well as
improve balance and coordination. Walking can also
help prevent or manage certain chronic illnesses, such
as high blood pressure, heart
disease and type II diabetes.
The Department of Health
and Human Services recommends about two hours
and 30 minutes per week of
moderate aerobic exercise
or one hour and 15 minutes
of vigorous aerobic exercise. A reasonable goal for
most individuals would be
30 minutes a day or two
15-minute sessions a day.
So think twice next time
you wait on that parking spot
closer to campus or you contemplate taking the elevator.
You could possibly accomplish your daily-recommended amount of exercise just
parking further or taking the
stairs, instead of the elevator.

Insanity turns up the heat for CSUSM participants
I n t e n s e b ody w orkout p art of g roup f i t n e s s c l a s s e s
By Sarah Hughes
Senior Staff Writer
Third-year Kinesiology major, Vanessa Estoesta thought it would fun
to teach Insanity as a group
fitness class for Fall 2014.
Estoesta wears a turquoise
tank top, black athletic running capris and black Nikes
with a silver swoosh. Her
hair is styled on-trend into
a braid that is loose, but not
messy. A floral headband
holds any would-be stray
hairs out of her eyes. She is
probably an average height
for a girl, standing a head or
so shorter than 5 '10". Very
quickly, she reveals herself to be a natural teacher.
The Clark Field House
Gym, where it's held, is a
basketball gym that is used
f or many other purposes.
It's lined with blue padding on the walls, for some
athletic-seeming reason. A
lighter than sarid-colored
floor glistens with a polyurethane-like
substance.
Near the back of the room
people are waiting for the
class to start, possibly scared
to be in the front. Many probably came promptly at the
beginning of the Clarke Field

es on Sept. 8. The classes are
scheduled through Dec. 5,
and like the use of the gym
here, are free to students.
Teachers and staff are permitted to attend, but have to pay.
"For instructors, classes are $20 a month or $5
a class, but for students
they're free," the Clark Field
House receptionist said.
"You might want a mat
if you have bad knees and
need to modify, but you
don't have to have one,"
Estoesta said before class.
With a few minutes left
before the class commences,
there are already 19 students ready to work out.
Estoesta asks the class to
move forward to her, though
her clear voice is easy to
hear. She introduces Insanity briefly and talks about
changes she has made to her
lesson plan since last class.
She appears organized,
with a page of "blocks"
printed out and easy to see
from the floor since one is
standing within a couple feet
from it. "Blocks" are how
Insanity is laid out. They are
a few sets of physical movements, which help to focus
on "max interval training."
During the "blocks" Estoesta says the important part
is to keep moving, modifying as needed. All the while,
she always expects each
individual's best efforts.
She begins the movement
part of class at 4:13 p.m. At
4:23 p.m, a newbie to Insanity will feel their lungs burning, even if they are fairly
physically active. After another 10 minutes, this same
newbie will wonder if time
is even passing and whether
they will make it through
this routine. Yet in another
10 minutes, it becomes easier. Warming-up beforehand
can be one strategy that
helps the respiratory process.
Estoesta gives a modification for many of the moves,
especially some that are
more difficult or exhausting.
She reminds people of the
moves periodically and once
says "not to fall", as unsure
legs seem to slip slightly due
to lots of jumping around. A
pair of non-slip, grippy tennis
shoes seem a sensible decision to always keep in mind.
Estoesta is easy to follow
and motivating. She gives
affirmations and counts.
She does the blocks along
with the class, but somehow
makes it look easy, while simultaneously putting more
drive into it. She doesn't
even appear to break a sweat.
A " ha" type of cry, reminiscent of martial arts, motivates the class to keep going. She walks around giving
tips to remember, but doesn't
single anyone out with these.
Most importantly, she is
checking for form and safety.
The music is perfectly
suited to whatever moves
the class does. It is a
work-out electronic and
pop mix, that slows down
for the ending stretch.
The moves are different,
focused and always new. A
side to side move kind of
resembles a turtle and hopping becomes core work.
A skater move looks visually impressive, like a Just
Do It advertising campaign.
There are frequent water
breaks and it appears that
the entire class is choosing to take them. "Blocks"
are followed by short, numerous rests. The "blocks"
move into arm strength exercises. From an awkward,
shaky plank, faces behind
look thoroughly worn out.
Ablock or two later, Estoesta asks if people want to keep
doing pushups. A yes is won
by a voisterous group of men
at the back of the class, yet
many of the women appear
to have pushup skills too.
In the last few minutes of
class, Estoesta ends with
some much needed stretching.
If an individual has never
done Insanity but is moderately active, a lot of
sweating should still be
expected. Soreness can be
felt in the next two days;
however, it will not be the
worst soreness to ever have
experienced.
Likewise,
an Ibuprofen and stretching will help somewhat.
As an encouraging note,
Insanity participants can
look forward to appreciating
their efforts in the results of
such intense exercises, as the
workout affects the glutes
and core and leg muscles.
Insanity is offered every
at 4:10 p.m on Tuesday and
Thursday in the CFH Gym.

Students supplement income with on-campus jobs
By Beulah Supriya
StaffWriter
With high tuition rates
showing no signs of significant decrease, many students
have opted for campus jobs.
According to CSUSM
students, working on campus seems to be the safest and most convenient
option around. Although
this isn't the only reason, it is a major one.
CSUSM student Louis
Adamsel, who holds a part
time job in Jamba Juice,
expressed what he enjoys
most about his j ob on campus. The opportunity to
meet new people who h e'd
never known otherwise
and having an understanding manager were definitely
the highlights of his j ob.
Another aspect of the j ob
Adamsel appreciates is the
flexibility that is offered
for students who work on
campus. There is no clashing of classes and work because the shifts are based
on the class schedule. He
emphasizes that flexibility is necessary for students.
He adds that managers
also understand the importance of classes and are
very accommodative of all
the student organizations.
However, the least favorable part of his j ob involves
the dreaded rush hour.
CSUSM student Elizabeth Rodriguez, an RA at
the UVA, agrees how important flexibility is in the

auto loan debt and „credit card debt nationally.

at CSUSM. They are simply
transforming what was once
an affordable institution
of public higher education
into a private university that
sucks money out of our pockets and burdens us with more
debt. If we had the money
to go to a private university,
we might have, but since we
don't, we chose CSUSM
because of its reputation for
quality education at a cost
we could actually afford.
So here's the big question,
where does the money from
all our fees go? Not to our
faculty- that's for sure. They
have not received more than a
1.34 percent raise since 2008,
even though they're the ones
most responsible for providing us with quality education. It's also apparently not
going to the opening of more
classes and class sections
that we all could really use.
The top CSU executives'
salaries rose 71 percent from
1998 to 2011. CSUSM alone
currently spends over $1 million a month (yes, a month!)
on administrative salaries.
That's not right, we need
to stop the increases in student fees ("success" or otherwise), and make sure our
money is well-spent. Administrators seem to be sucking
in way more money than they
should, and many students
are paying more and more to
have fewer available classes
and less attention from their
overburdened,
underpaid
professors than they deserve.
We need to show the administration that we will
no longer sit quietly while
they gouge students with
fee hikes and "success fees"
and lo-ball faculty with inadequate pay. Support events
such as on Oct. 7, when we

Addressing issues of diversity at C SUSM
By USCC
Contributor
To Students, Faculty and
Staff:
Throughout the years we
have witnessed the racial
divide amongst faculty,
staff and students- the most
critical factor being that
there is a lack of involvement and genuine interest
of our students' success.
While there exists a small
percentage of students who
are involved on campus,
it is overshadowed by an
even greater percentage of
students who lack the necessary cultural sensitivity in making our campus a
welcoming environment for
all marginalized and underrepresented
communities.
Cultural sensitivity can be
defined as being aware of the
cultural differences and similarities that exist between
groups, which allows you
to understand the multifac-
eted global and local issues
that trickle down and impact
students on a personal, academic and behavioral level.
Though there are a few
faculty and staff that go out
of their way to help students,
there are many more who
by choice or ignorance do
not push a more inclusive
campus where cultural sensitivity is practiced and embedded within our campus
community. The university
as a whole seems to shame
and target students, faculty

consciousness and the responsibility to act on integrity. Amongst ourselves there
are faculty, staff and student
organizations who have
taken the steps to create a
positive change on our campus and towards our student
academic careers. We only
ask that you make a commitment to better this university
for the genuine interest of
all future incoming students.
Here are three simple ways in which you
can join these efforts:
Whenever
you
hear
a rude comment made
by a peer in class, challenge yourself to speak up.
Regularly attend campus events that are hosted by cultural or social
justice oriented groups.
Push yourself to get
involved in the community and do research
about
global
issues.

Why psychology is best major
By Tiffany Trent
Senior Staff Writer
While the overall quality of the food served in
the USU is satisfactory, the
fact remains that the prices
for what you are receiving are higher than what
some nearby competitors
charge for similar products.
Since the USU opened in
January 2014, the majority of students have taken
advantage of the quick and
convenient food choices
that are offered in the dining area on the fourth floor.
The options offered in the
U m caver a^wide range of
dining opportunities, from
Mexican food at Wholly Habaneros to the fried American food options at World of
Wings. While these meals are
generally high quality and
the portion sizes generally reflect the amount you paid for
them, these options still add
up to a lot of money if you
eat there on a regular basis.
The fact is that across the
street there are the same general options for a cheaper
price than what is offered
here on campus. Subversions
is basically the same as Subway; however, at Subversions you are paying $6 to
$7 for a footlong when the
same kind of sandwich can
be made at Subway across
the street for $5 to $6. The
same goes for Wholly Habaneros, whose menu is similar
to that of Mr. Taco across the
and staff who go above and
beyond to create a more
cultural intelligent campus.
The institution forgives and
forgets those who commit ignorant racist actions,
which go against the university's mission and vision.
We are calling on everyone to get involved, get informed, and participate in
our collective effort for the
betterment of the university.

many more choices. Also, at
Mr. Taco the prices for the
same options are ^generally
lower, or include sides. Mr.
Taco is the same quality as
what is offered over here and
may even be better, although
that is for each individual
to decide for themselves.
Even World of Wings
has a cheaper option across
the street in the form of the
Ralph's grocery store, where
they sell most of the same
options in their deli and
even options that aren't offered here by the pound for
a lower price. The only option in the USU that isn't
across the street is Panda
Express, which is the only
Chinese food place near the
campus and has a standardized price since it is a wellknown chain restaurant.
Even the places that have a
good portion size compared
to the price can become very
pricy when eaten on a regular
basis, and the same goes for
the options across the street.
The best way to eat on a college budget is to try to only
buy food from restaurants on
occasion, because even if the
price is fair it is still cheaper
to make food at home. Even
if you don't think you have
time to make food for yourself in the morning, you can
make it the previous night
before bed and keep it in
the refrigerator to quickly grab the next morning.
The fact is that the grocery store is the best deal
and the majority of the options here can be purchased
much cheaper from the store.
Ultimately, it's up to the individual to decide whether
they would like to explore
cheaper dining options or if
it is worth paying an extra
dollar or two for the convenience of on-campus dining.
But at least consider buying
food off campus or bringing
a packed lunch from home

This fall semester, the Library has on display "Enlisting a Nation: American
Visual Propaganda of World
War F to commemorate the
centenary of World War I.
The posters are on display on the third floor of
the Kellogg library gallery
and are open to the public.
"During World War I ,
the government
started
its first major and organized propaganda, it was
so effective that the same
methods were used for the
WW2 as well," the curator, Heather Northway, said.
Posters on display are a
part of Northway's private
collection. With experience
ranging from collection management to giving curatorial
gallery talks, her main aim
in having the propaganda
highlighted this year is not
only to observe the centenary of the First World War
but also to honor the soldiers,
show the changes in society and give students a new
perspective with the help of
these compelling visual aids.
Though under the backdrop of the war, many topics
are covered by the posters,
right from recruitment of
soldiers to buying Liberty
bonds to support the war. It
is during this time that Uncle
Sam became an iconic figure and stayed that way ever
since. Buying Liberty bonds
weren't popular at first due
to the low interest rates, but
as the government got support from celebrities like
Charlie Chaplin, the propaganda gained momentum.

"The Maze Runner" is a
breath of fresh air, as it is everything a dystopian book-tofilm adaptation should be and
is anything but a processed
film that fades from memory on the walk to your car.
Thomas, played by Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf,
The Internship) finds himself elevated into the Glade,
a forest inhabited by boys
ranging in age from pre-teen
to young adult. A massive
mechanized stonewall surrounds the Glade with doors
that open at sunrise and close
at sunset. These doors reveal
the maze, a complex network
of corridors whose wall shift
into different position every

others because of his unrelenting curiosity. It is clear
to everyone, especially the
first Glader introduced to the
maze, Alby (Ami Ameen)
and the suspicious Gaily
(Will Poulter) that his arrival is significant as things
begin to change after a relatively predictable three years
of coexistence. As Thomas
attempts to make sense of
his purpose and identify
their imprisonment without
any memory of the past, the
movie takes the audience on
a thrill ride as heart-pumping as a night in the maze.
O'Brien was unquestionably convincing as the brave
Thomas. Every relationship
formed between O'Brien and
his co-stars seemed genuine
and made for a more poignant delivery of the film's
message. Aside from the
theme of bravery and the
responsibility that comes

A l t - J a n d A g e of
Extinction
By Ariel Robbins
Radio Assistant
New Years Day
"Sleeplessly
Embracing" Alt-J's new album
At long last, English band
Alt-J dropped their second
album "This Is All Yours"
on Sept. 22. Barely into its
highly anticipated availability, "This Is All Yours"
reached number one on
charts in the UK, and topped
globally in five other countries. The band's previous album, "An Awesome Wave,"
was nominated for three
British music awards and
went on to win the Mercury
Award, issued to the UK's
best album by well-regarded officials in the industry.
"Hunger of the Pine" was
the first track released and
propelled fans into a conflicting onset of emotions due to
the unexpected cameo of Miley Cyrus after the first few
verses. Love her or hate her,
most can't help but head-bob
anyways. There's no denying
that "Hunger of the Pine" is
only one of thirteen knockout
tracks that'll have you wondering what on earth you'd
been doing with your life
before listening. Luckily for
fans, Alt-J is touring across
both America and Europe to
promote their new album.
More information their tour

Despite harsh reviews and
a Rotten Tomatoes rating of
3.8/10 from the critics and
3.3/5 from the fans, lovers
of blaring mechanical robofights and Mark Wahlberg
will not be disappointed.
The story follows protagonist Cade Yeager (Wahlberg)
in his desperate attempts to
rescue his daughter, Tessa,
from her bounty hunter kidnappers. Of course being a
Transformer movie, the plot
could not be complete unless the world was under
attack and needed the assistance of Bumblebee and
his fellow robotic buds.
Sojif you're in need of a ridiculously loud, robot-heavy

New SHCS building breaks ground this summer
Student Health and Counseling Services t o be housed on campus 2015
B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ
NEWS EDITOR
4 - The issue of diversity and
racism has recently become a
hot topic on the CSUSM campus. Read t wo articles about
how these issues on campus
may not be isolated.
^¡ÉdnesÂ"
MÈOT^ 20Î3
—mmm-
This summer, construction
will begin for a new Student
Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) building to
be completed by September
2014 and opened by January
2015.
When completed, the
20,000-square-foot facility
will reside on-campus across
the street from student housing to provide easier access
to residential students. Currently, CSUSM is leasing an
off-campus space for SHCS,
which is located at the PPH
building across Twin Oaks
Valley road.
The building is estimated
to cost a total of $10 million,
which is being paid for by
Student Facility Fees. The
building was first presented
to the Board of Trustees and
approved in November 2012.
SHCS currently offers
students basic medical services to students for colds,
headache, flu, breast exams,
HTV testing, immunizations,
pregnancy testing, biopsy,
cryotheraphy, physical exams, etc. Students also have
access to counselors to help
them cope with academic
and medical concerns, provided by a pre-paid fee "of
$67 per semester, included
in tuition and fees. SHCS
also provides Family PACT,
a program aimed in offering
family planning services and
information regarding reproductive health to low-income
students with or without thenown private medical insurance.
"We look forward to the
SHCS Building being in the
heart of the campus, with the
new location being across
the street from student housing, the Clarke and the new
University Student Union,"
Cathy Baur, Associate Vice
President for Communications, said. "This will give
easier service access for our
residential students, easier
opportunities for collaborations with campus units, and
will allow for more visible
outreach activities."
The proposed plans show
interesting and creative architectural designs.
"An interesting design
feature will be the labyrinth
garden, which will be on the
north side .of the building.
This will be an awesome,
contemplative area for the
campus community. There
will also be a Zen garden
near the outside elevator,"
said Baur.
The building will hold examination rooms, medical
offices and counseling spaces, along with a Health and
Wellness program. With an
accessible location (located
near Parking Structure one)
students are able to utilize
health programs offered by
the SHCS as well as keep
their personal health updated.

grams, library resources,
and depleted degree value.
Expectancy to graduation
may take longer due to lack
of course availability as unit
caps will continue. When implementing the fee, the state
will have no say in what the
money is spent on and how
much of it can be used in
specific areas. The money
will be managed entirely at
a local level. Students will
have more control of the
use of the funds and those
funds cannot be-taken away.
As students have stated
that the fee is too high, legislation has chosen to consider that opinion and reduced
the fee by $100. Now, the
fee will be spread out over a
longer period of time, which
is four years rather than two.
Considering fiscal changes
in economic cost and spending, after the fee has been approved and implemented, the
fee will likely go up in future
years, but not without legislation going through this process of informing students
again and re-electing how
the issue will be managed.
Based on student election,
the money from the Student
Success Fee will go towards
more courses, support of
the academia, student life,
and expanding the library.
-When asked if the legislation-will have final say in
how the money is used if
the fee is implemented, Dr.
Graham Oberem, Interim
Provost & Vice President
of Academic Affairs said,
"There is a strong likelihood that the presidential
decision will not go drastically against the commit-
HE
tees favor." The CSUSM
president will remain in
control of final decisions.
Student
recommendations will be processed
through
proposals
and
considered by a Student
Fee Advisory Committee.
This committee comprised
of four students, three administration/faculty and staff
will represent future allocations across the categories
that will be recommended
annually. Associated accountability for the funds
cannot be taken away. There
will be an annual report
of how the funds are used
which will be made available for public information.
The main consideration of
the need for the fee is the
return on investment (ROI).
These funds would help to
strengthen the future value
of the degrees earned, secure
the post-college future of the
students here, and preserve
the quality of the education
offered at CSUSM. Also,
improving and expanding
the quality of education offered on campus since budget cuts and changes over
the last decade alone have
drastically altered the opportunities and privileges
that were once offered to
students and teachers alike.
The advisory committee will continue to relay
the information that has
been collected from the
open forums and polls.
President Haynes will have
the final decision as to what
to pass on to the Chancellor
of the CSU, who has the final
say on the Student-Success
Fee implementation. That is
where the final decision lies.

Graduate Honor: Student leader Audrey Juarez
B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ
NEWS EDITOR
Audrey Juarez is a 2013
graduating senior double
majoring in political science
and women's studies and describes herself as "a proud
brown, lady-loving individual."
For her commitment to this
campus, social justice and in
creating a haven in her presence by being inclusive and
accepting at CSUSM, Juarez
is receiving the Cougar
Chronicle's first Graduate
Honor.
When she arrived to
CSUSM, Juarez promised
herself that she would get
involved and since then, her
involvement on campus has
extended to make a difference. Juarez describes her
experience on campus as
having not always been safe,
stating "identifying as a lesbian and looking androgynous play a huge part in that.
But I have found solidarity,
community and friendship
here and those factors have
made being a student on this
campus a pleasure."
Juarez's involvement on
campus began her freshman
year when she began spending time in the LGBTQA
Pride Center. By spending
her free time in the center,
Juarez found a place to be
comfortable on camp§$f)j . r
' The Pride Center gave
me a home away from home
early on in my career at
CSUSM," Juarez said.
"I met a lot of incredible
people who I shared all kinds
of experiences with. We all
pushed each other to get involved, and the way that that
manifested itself in me was
running to be president for
the LGBTQA Club.
Juarez won and held the
position of president for
two years and chose to
use her power to influence
change when the controversial newspaper, "The Koala" was on campus. It also
gave her the courage to run
for ASI's Board of Directors.
"When the Koala came
out, I wondered why a larger student voice hadn't condemned it. I went to an ASI
Board of Directors meeting
and just thought to myself
'Why doesn't anybody sitting around this table look
like me?' As a lesbian, I 'm
used to not feeling represented in the greater government, but to not even have
lesbian students present in
that room made me uneasy,"
Juarez said.
Juarez currently is, and
has been, serving on the
Board of Directors for two
years and was first the Representative for the College
of Humanities, Arts, Behavioral and Social Sciences,
and is now Vice President of
Operations which has given her several opportunities
on-and-off campus that have
lead to bigger things.
"I had the opportunity to go
to the Panetta Institue Leadership Seminar and a meeting for the California State
Student Association. That
was the first time I heard
about the Speaker position
for the Multicultural Caucus,
and decided that I would run.
I've been in that position for
almost a year now, and I've
had the opportunity to author
resolutions that are leading
to some important /changes."
Juarez said.
Juarez's experience while
working with ASI has allowed her to enjoy college
while also allowing her to
express her voice to make
changes on the CSUSM
campus.
"ASI has shaped many facets of my college experience.
I have had the opportunity
to meet students, learn their
stories, and enact policies
that can improve their experiences on our campus. What
could be better than that? "
Juarez has received several recognitions for her work,
with nominations
for the 2013

gar Wall of Fame, 2012
Junior of the Year at the
Tukwut Leadership Awards
Night and the 2013 Dean's
Award.
"It has been an honor to
be nominated for all of these
awards, but the satisfaction
of knowing that the resolutions I've, passed this year
through our Board of Directors, and the CSSA Board of
Directors, concerning gender
inclusion and sexual assault
prevention and advocacy can
improve the lives of students
are better than any award I
could ever be nominated for,
or receive," Juarez said.
Not many students can
say they are leaving behind
a massive impact on our
CSUSM community but for
Juarez, she hopes to be remembered for giving back
and creating more for the
university.
"Legacy. Sometimes I
wonder what that really
means or what it really looks
like. But if I had to say what I
want to be remembered for, I
want to be remembered
as someone who
built bridges
for groups
that would not
otherwise work together. I
want to be remembered as
someone who saw that our
institution could better serve
all students," said Juarez.
"I want to be remembered
as a woman who loved her
campus enough to call it to
a higher standard. I sincerely hope that people who also
prioritize these principles
will servé in leadership positions at CSUSM. CSUSM
has given me much more
than I could ever give back."-.
After graduation, Juarez
plans to move to Washington D.C. and search for an
internship or job where she
can put her knowledge on
education and social justice
to good use. In the fall, she
plans to apply for law school
with even bigger plans for
her future.
"My future dream is to
serve my country as President of the United States of
America. I know that sounds
a little silly, but its true.
CSUSM has given me the
desire to serve the public. I
would say that CSUSM has
shaped who I am as a young
woman, and who I intend on
being moving forward in my
life."
Congratulations to Audrey Juarez, a true leader of
CSU San Marcos. Not many
students on campus can say
they have made the impact
and impression to student
community the way Audrey
has and for this, she deserves
this award.

ico until her mother became
ill and passed away. Reyna
was nine at the time of her
mother's death. The four
sisters have had to take care
of each other since then, and
the word sister has taken on a
stronger meaning.
Reyna prefers to be speaking English, she sees it as her
primary language.
"I just want to be accepted
and feel like everyone else. I
see myself as being independent and more Americanized
with U.S. c ulture.I'm more
familiar with U.S. history
than I am Mexican history,"'
Reyna said. "Yet I don't understand why there is the celebration of Cinco de Mayo
here in the U.S., withfthe exception of selling and drinking beer. I guess I 'm caught
up in the middle of who I am
Mexican or American."
Due to the poverty level of her family she has no
baby pictures. She has had to
maintain at least two jobs for
the past six years to pay for
college. She sees herself as
Mexican-American.
Life for Reyna* before
AB540 was cautious and
quiet. Her not speaking out
in class was a means of not
standing out. "Undocumented means I have a label. The
color of green on the side of
a Border Patrol car meant I
avoided driving and avoided different streets. I didn't
have to read the logo on the
side of the Border Patrol vehicle, it was understood what
it meant to me and my family. Life was a prison for me
and I was very secretive with
whom I shared my legal status with."
"The DREAM Act is common-sense legislation drafted by both Republicans and
Democrats that would give
students who grew up in the
United States a chance to
contribute to our country's
well-being by serving in the
U.S. armed forces or pursuing a higher education. It's
good for our economy, our
security, and our nation,"
said White House Representative Luis Miranda, on the
White House blog. "That's
why the DREAM Act has
long enjoyed bipartisan support. It's limited, targeted
legislation that will allow
only the best and brightest
young people to earn their legal status after arigorousand
lengthy process, and applies
to those brought to the United States as minors through
no fault of their own by their
parents, and who know no
other home."
Reyna shared a high school
story of how a male student
had embarrassed her friend
by writing about her chest
size in a yearbook. Reyna
was upset and decided to
take her friend to the principal's office and find recourse
in the lack of a thought by
the male student. The principal asked Reyna, what she
felt was just for what the
male had done. Reyna told
him he should publicly apologized for what he did and
purchase a year book for her
friend. The principal agreed
and an Avid teacher who witnessed Reyna's actions took
Reyna aside, and told her
how impressed he was in her
coming forward for a fellow
student . He also told her how
she could do anything in her
life and she should consider
law school in college. This
planted a seed.
Reyna was caught off
guard, it was the first time
she remembers being given a
compliment and encouragement for going college. Once
in college, she later questioned, "If I earned a degree,
could I do anything with it?
After AB5401 have a choice
and can go places. I see a future where I can fight injustice and help people. I have
a lot of gratitude towards the
United States and want to
give back to the community. I felt as if people would
look at me as being less than
them. That's not true, legal
status doesn't define who I
am. Even when I may have
barriers in place, I see immigration as an obstacle that I
can overcome."
Financial Aid and Scholarship Director ^ Vonda Garcia
said, "The University had
approximately 90 applicants
this semester, for which 56
students were awarded a max
of $2736 all of which goes
towards tuition fees for this
spring."
In talking to students on
campus affected by AB540,
they shared with me the
challenges from bias they've
experienced with students
in thé classroom, as well as
challenges met with the university.
"A small group of AB540
students, who applied for the
CA Dream Act, were not able
to attend school this semester as they thought they were
going to receive some sort of
financial aid, but didn't meet
the qualifications," Barraza
said.
Barraza holds hope that
the process to access higher
education will get easier for
undocumented students.
"This was a difficult process for many of us. We had
to make ourselves be known
to the campus administration
to explain all the financial
barriers, we face because of
our undocumented status and
had to keep persisting to obtain support," Barraza said.
Secretary of Education
Arne Duncan stated on the
White House Blog that passing the DREAM Act "will
allow these young people to
See you in fall of 2013

live up to their fullest potential and contribute to the economic growth of oui country.
In particular, the DREAM
Act will play an important
part in the nation's efforts to
have the highest proportion
of college graduates in the
world by 2020, something
vital for America to remain
competitive in today's global
economy."
Life has changed dramatically for Reyna with the
implementation of AB540.
She told me about her goals
of possibly being an attorney, or maybe working in a
non-profit with youth.
As students go through
AB540 they get their social,
security card, can obtain a
California Driver's License,
and work permit. Once they
complete the process, a path
is set for citizenship and they
go through Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
(DACA) as defined under
Homeland Security. As the
legislation becomes a reality,
I can't help but go back to
our shared meets at the Starbucks on campus.
I remember Reyna calling
me after she was first able
to get her driver's license
last September, she has also
called me after every meeting with her attorney in reference to her AB540 status.
I 've met someone I consider
to be a lifelong friend. In the
Latino community as well as
many other cultures, breaking bread with someone is
symbolic of respect. It ties
ourselves to earth, which we
may share with a complete
stranger, or with family and
friends. In our case it's a simple brownie once a week that
bound us in friendship.

shall be an open and welcoming center of activity for
the campus now and in the
future. The University needs
a 'living room' and the USU
will be the campus community center for socialization,
casual interaction and scheduled meetings, food and beverage service, programmed
activities, student organizations and social justice centers."
The USU will also be the
home of four food components. Sodexo recently
signed a 20-year contract
with the university to take
over camps catering as
well as the Starbucks, located in Kellogg Library.
In the union, there will be a
Jazzman's Cafe & Bakery
with a coffee-house style
atmosphere located in the
east pavilion, a large convenient store and a Jamba Juice
smoothie station.
Along with a Panda Express located in the USU,
there will be three Sodexo-brand food distributions, each of different taste.
The first is World of Wings
Cafe, an American-grill type,
a SubConnections, much
like Subway, and Wholly
Habaneros which is similar
to Chipotle and Baja Fresh.
Sodexo plans to provide
optional meal-plans for students that can be used at each
food vendor.
The school values sustainability and ensuring a
economically healthy aspect
of building activity for the
USU. One such feature is
the green roof that will sit
on the second-floor of the
90,000-square-foot
ballroom. The green roof will
provide shade and prevent
the ballroom from getting
too hot in the summer and
avoid running the air conditioner. Since half of the roof
is green, the other half will
provide seating and dining
places for students to hang
out, eat, study or watch a
program from afar. There
will also be photovoltaic
panels on the roof to capture
energy from the sun and reduce the cost of operating the
building. The building will
be a LEED Gold Building,
said Sara Quinn, Director of
The Clarke and University
Student Union, which is the
second-highest level of sustainability for a building.
"Along with sustainability,
the USU has many features
that aren't found on most
campuses; one of which is
gender-neutral bathrooms.
The bathrooms "are for
gender-neutral folks so they
don't have to trek all the way
across campus to go to the
one bathroom in which they
feel safe and comfortable.
That is a feature that we said
is non-negotiable for us,"
Quinn said.
The gender-neutral bathrooms will be throughout
the building, on the first and
fourth floor as well as next to
the social justice centers.
"There is also an additional
single-stall, gender-neutral
restroom with a foot-wash in
it for our Muslim students,
right next to our spiritual
lounge. We tried to make it
as multi-purpose as possible," said Quinn.
Since The Clarke currently serves as the University
Student Union for programming, the USU Advisory
Board/Clarke
Activities
Team will transition from
The Clarke to the USU to
utilize features of the building such as the amphitheater
and pavilion. However, programming at The Clarke will
continue, focusing on fitness
and recreation.
Student positions will also
be available once the USU
opens. Along with positions
in the social justice centers
and food distributions, the
USU will hire around 100150 students assistants to
work. The hours of operation are tentative but will
most likely be 7 a.m. to 10
p.m. Monday through Thursday, with plans to close earlier on Friday and be open
on Saturday and closed on
Sunday.

Students discuss racism incident on campus in wake o f photographs
B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ
NEWS EDITOR
Photos of members of the
sorority Alpha Chi Omega (AXO) have surfaced
portraying the women as
"cholas," and Latina gang
members, upsetting many
students on campus. The
photos , taken during a spring
break retreat, were posted on
the popular smartphone app,
InstaGram as well as Facebook.
Since then, the photos went
viral through students at
CSUSM, sorority members
and the rest of Greek life
has received scrutiny for displaying racism and sexism at
CSUSM. Currently, 33 percent of students at CSUSM
are Hispanic or Latino/a.
Student Julia Barnes feels
that students should converse
and discuss the issue, instead
of raising scrutiny to Greek
life. " I'm not sure when the
conversation stopped and the
mudslinging began," Barnes
said.
Co-chair of
Standing
Together As oNe Dream
(STAND), a student immigrant-rights
organization,
Rodrigo Gonzalez said, "The
photos taken by members of
Alpha Chi Omega are offensive because they are found-
ed in acting like, in this case,
a community of people who
really exist, that is stereotyped due to prejudice. When
a culture is misunderstood
and invisible, or only visible
in negative portrayals, it is
deemed harmless to dress up
like them. The photos are offensive because members of
Alpha Chi Omega thought it
would be funny to perform or
play a part which is reinforcing of objectifying and dehumanizing a peoples culture
just because it is not/does
not adhere to mainstream
or normalized standards of
beauty, dress, or overall appearance."
Megan Koellin, President
of Alpha Chi Omega, issued
an apology at a meeting held
April 30 organized by Latino
students.
"We apologize from the
bottom of our hearts," Koellin said. "It was a mistake
and a lack of education on
our part."
Though the Greek community has been advised not to
comment, debate between
multiple students and groups
of how offensive the photos
are h is begun. Student Kharina Miramontes, who identifies as half-Mexican, doesn't
find the photos offensive.
"I guess it's expected that
I take this whole thing really
offensively or whatever, but I
don't. To me, it's just another stereotype that people use.
Nobody complains when
people use a 'nerd' theme;
the only difference is this is
a racial issue and people are
easily riled by it," Miramontes said.
Debate has been surfacing of whether this incident
could have been avoided.
"At the same time, though,
I think it was stupid of them,
the sorority, to do this theme.
They should have known
better. They're representing
not just a sorority, but our
school, which is predominantly Latino," Miramontes said. "While it may not
offend everyone and may
have been all in good fun,
they should know that it's
going to rub a lot of people
the wrong way, and considering that they have to remain
somewhat reputable, I 'm
pretty shocked they didn't
have the forethought to think
this one through."
The photos also contained
"hashtags" supporting racial
stereotypes, such as "#TheStrugglelsReal."
"Not only are they dismissing the struggle gang
members go through as an
unaccepted and demon-
resentatives suggested that
AXO should go unrecognized for a year to reflect
on their actions some of the
members made to empower their chapter as a whole
to prevent further incidents
like this from reoccurring.
"Otherwise, these types of
offenses will keep happening
as they have on this campus
in the past," Gonzalez said.
Latino/a students collectively agreed stating, "We
have learned that we cannot prevent these incidents
from happening, but what
we can do is come together and-make sure that there
are policies in place, disciplinary policies are in place,
necessary cultural diversity
requirements for GE are begun, mandatory social justice
trainings are held for departments, student organizations,
and Greek life. If we are a
campus that prides itself on
social justice in our mission
and vision, we need to start
acting like it, creating effective changes, not just having
discussions about it."
"Moving forward, even
though CSUSM promotes
civility and promotes a broad
range of diversity, things like
this are still able to happen,"
Green said. "It seems that
there is a lack of appreciation
ized subculture but also the
struggle its community goes
through on a day to day basis," Gonzalez said.
Resident Advisor and graduating senior Eric Green
said, "CSUSM is a campus
that prides itself on civility
and social justice. Disappointingly, I am seeing the
maintenance of these ideals
lacking in its Greek community, which has a huge and
pertasive influence on campus."
Green recognizes the step
that student Alma Martinez
and the other who reported
the photos initially.
"I applaud the person who
had the courage to step up
and call out the organization
who allows its members to
wear other people's identity as a costume. Had Alma
Martinez not done so, then
no one else would have,"
Green said. "Things like
this matter and it should not
be brushed off like it's trivial. In today's climate, many
oppressed minorities are
feeling empowered and will
not take a blatant display of
ignorance and disrespect to
their culture and identity go
by without raising awareness."
At the meeting held last
week, Latino/a student rep-
among the students which
really puts CSUSM's efforts
in vain. This was a learning
experience for all parties involved."
Interim Associate Dean for
Student Life and Leadership,
Gregory Toya Ed.D. states!
"Students, staff, faculty, and
administration will continue
to collaborate to institutionalize educational programs
and bias response systems
to decrease and respond to
future bias-related incidents.
Prior to the incident, Student
Life & Leadership partnered
with the Cross-Cultural and
LGBTQA Pride Centers to
offer diversity educational workshops for fraternity
and sorority members. Student Life & Leadership will
-continue to partner with
the Cross-Cultural Center,
LGBTQA Pride Center, Office of Diversity, Inclusion,

other campus entities to implement educational programs that increase campus
community member awareness, knowledge, and skills
regarding diversity, inclusion, educational equity, and

Does CSUSM have a color line?

Knockknock. Who's there?
No one of color. The knockknock jokes are rhymes we
say as children. Yet in culture, children's rhymes can
have undertones of bias and
racism.
In recent weeks, there have
been heated discussions
about racism within organizations on campus. Latino
students have expressed outrage over two incidents involving photographs — one
last month and one five years
a go—- where students and
administrators were dressed
in clothing that some students felt represent negative
Latino stereotypes.
In April, photographs of
members of the Alpha Chi
Omega sorority (some white
and some Latina) dressed
as "chollas," the phrase for
women who dress in the attire
often associated with Latino gang members, showed
up on the organization's
Facebook page. Around the
same time, a 2008 photo resurfaced showing universi-
ty President Karen Haynes
wearing a sombrero and
poncho to a campus "fiesta"
party. Both the students and
Haynes issued apologies for
what they described as cultural insensitivity. .
While these may be isolated incidents, there are concerns among some students
and faculty on campus that

need to be better represented and reflected in the university's faculty. Is there a
color line on campus? It's a
phrase used by civil rights
leaders Frederick Douglass
and W.E.B. Du Bois to refer
to racial divide that prevents
blacks from improving on
their economic conditions .
Three percent of the students on campus are black,
which is equal to the number
of professors on campus who
are black. But 28 percent of
CSUSM students are Latino, compared to 13 percent
of faculty, according to the
2012 - 20.14 catalog profiles
and university information.
On her university welcome
statement, Haynes said that
among the five strategic
goals for the university's
third decade is to improve
"education equity."
' These principles are central to who we are, where we
have been, and what we want
to be," she said.
CSU Board of t rustees
student trustee, Cipriano
Vargas, said that the plans
made for education equity
and diversity under former
associate vice president of
diversity and educational equity Derrick Crawford need
to be accomplished.
"One of the things we value here at Cal State San Marcos is diversity and while it is
a work in progress, we have
a long way to go. Not only do
we need to broaden the diversity among the faculty but
also among the curriculum,"
Vargas said.
In a speech May 1 at CSU
Channel Islands, new CSU
Chancellor Timothy P. White
said that universities should
be diverse and inclusive of
people of different backgrounds.
"Often when you come to a
place and you . .. don't look
like (the) majority, it doesn't
feel as welcoming," White
said, adding that Channel Islands has been "purposeful"
in reaching out to underrepresented groups.
When CSUSM was founded in 1989, there was only
one black professor on the
faculty, Dr. Charlotte Bell,
who was part of the Founder's Circle. Today, the campus still has just one black
female tenured faculty member, Dr. Sharon Elise.
Professor John Halcon, in
the CSUSM college of ed-
ucation, said some departments on campus are better
than others at implementing
diversity.
"It has to do with how
committed they are to handling diversity," Halcon said.
"A gap with African-American faculty, Native American
faculty, and Hispanic faculty exists. The solution must
come from our leadership,
I see no follow through and
people held accountable."
Many organizations on
campus are geared toward
civility and diversity. The
Office of Community Service Learning, for example,
has been forging meaningful
and productive community
partnerships for the past 20
years. The department serves
nonprofits that represent the
poor and victims of crime
(many of whom are minorities). However, in June, the
Service Learning department will be restructured
and department director, Dr.
Darci Strother, is changing
positions. Strother said that
the university goals and actual actions conflict and are
causing a shift in university
policy.
"Apparently the university
wants to project a different

CSUSM offers science program t o nearby elementary schools
B Y RYAN D OWNS
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Hands-on science education is something that
younger kids are excited by,
and anyone who was once
a kid understands why. The
CSUSM STEM program
aims to inspire that excitement.
I t's fair to say that to some
degree, all of us are fascinated by science. However, children are often very interested
participants in courses that
involve science. Fortunately,
a collection of students and
teachers have come together
to form STEM, a program
that offers hands-on science
education to kids in schools
who cannot make time for it
during regular class hours.
The STEM Program operates several. times a week
at San Marcos Elementary
and Twin Oaks Elementary
shortly after classes end.
The program has around
200 undergraduate students
volunteering in total.
Dr. Bianca Mothe and the
Office of Community Service
Learning (OCSL) founded
the program two years ago
in response to complaints by
parents that children were
not learning enough science
in elementary school classrooms. This was a result of
the math and language-oriented legislation put forth
by No Child Left Behind in

2002. Mothe initially implemented the program at Twin
Oaks Elementary, with most
of the workf6rce consisting
of volunteers from CSUSM
that were primarily majoring
in science and teaching.
Colleen Lopez, one of the
program coordinators, is incredibly enthusiastic about
its effects, which she notes
goes far beyond just education.
"We're not looking for
them to suddenly ace all
their tests. We're just trying
to inspire them to want to
enjoy it and realize that science isn't so s cary" Lopez
said. ¿"Down the road, we
may have the next Einstein
because in class they had an
explosion. It's mainly just to
inspire these kids to view science in a positive manner."
Lopez's efforts seem to be
successful; one classroom in
particular was crowded with
young students marveling at
the smoke coming off of dry
ice, while another classroom
saw its students staring at a
model of the human heart.
But the people who truly
make the program work are
the students who become
involved in it and volunteer
their time. Mothe has been
able to recruit over 100 students from STEM Programs
at CSUSM. These undergrads then worked together
to form 54 different lesson
plans to be presented in six
weeks. During this time, they
will teach over 780 students
at the two schools many scientific, topics including biology, crystallography and
physics.
For the future, the people
at the program are ambitious.
In the short term, the hope is
that, with the assistance of
grants from philanthropic organizations, the program can
expand to other schools, and
hopefully branch out to other subjects. In the meantime,
continued assistance from
students on campus interested in science and teaching is
always welcome.

tension over the quickly approaching finals, ASI is holding á "Finals Detox" event at
the beginning of May.
The purpose is to ease
tensions students may feel
about the end of the semester
by providing them with everything they may need for
finals, including scantrons,
booklets and pencils. The
event is intended to give students a sense of relaxation by
making them feel prepared,
and it comes at the right
time. At the end of the last
week before finals, students
have enough on their mind.
Since they are already worrying about the content of
their tests and their grades,
they are too busy to worry
about the basic necessities
they need to simply take the
test.
"It's a super easy going and
straightforward event," Brittany Arnold, Finals Detox
Coordinator, said.
The hope is that with the
tools they need to effectively take their tests, combined
with other students wishing
them good luck, students
will feel a little more prepared to end their year on a
good note.
ASI hopes that by providing these materials, finals
week will be as stress-free as
possible.
Finals Detox will be
during U-Hour on Thursday, May 9 , in front of Kellogg Library.
Avid campus members
dedicated to CSUSM's Civility Campaign were honored
this past week at their annual
end-of-the-year dinner.
The Civility & Exchange
Celebration, which took
place on April 30, presented awards to the students,
staff and faculty members
that embody the Campaign's
founding principles of care,
respect and empathy.
The ceremony opened with
a welcome by Civility and
Exchange Outreach Specialist Sammi Carr, followed by
student-made films about Civility's purpose and presentations by key members o f,
and partners with, the Campaign.
Carr highlighted the fact
that the National Conflict
Resolution Center has been
a crucial contributor to the
success of Civility on campus, excitement radiating
from both parties on the
partnership that has emerged
from their work on campus
this year.
"It's nothing short of remarkable how you're changing this campus. We're facing challenges in all aspects
of our lives, and w e've enjoyed working with you to
address issues of incivility,"
President of the National
Conflict Resolution Center,
Steve Dinkin, said.
Following
presentations
by Dinkin and Interim Vice
President Lorena Meza,
awards were presented by
Marley Small, University Student Union Advisory
Board Representative, and
Floyd Lai, Associate Director of Multicultural Programs, to outstanding members of Civility.
"These actions occur every day, we just don't always
have the time to recognize
them. That's why it's so important that we take the time
to keep nominating and recognizing these people. We
need to continue pursuing
and promoting Civility on
campus," Lai said.
Throughout the year, students, staff and faculty nominated outstanding community members, or Civility
Champions, for the possibility of being named Civility ICONS (Initiating Civil
Opportunities Now) by the
group's review board. Out
of more than 50 nominees,
Civility selected 26 people
to recognize at the Civility & Exchange Celebration
as Civility Champions, and
named eight people the Civility ICONS f or 2012-2013 .
The Civility Champions
recognized on Tuesday night
were Kyle Azcuna, Katelyn

Popular Campus Pride W alk and Rainbow Recognition events in review
B Y KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS
COPY EDITOR
It can be expected that after
a month of Gaypril festivities
and as the school year draws
to a close, the LGBTQA
Pride C ento will close in a
way worth remembering.
During U-hour on April
30, the campus was ablaze
with color and voices as
the 2nd Annual Pride Walk
took place.
Supporters,
staff, friends, family and
even spectators took part in
the march across campus to
close out the Gaypril festivities. With strong messages such as "Hey, hey! Ho,
ho! Homophobia has got to
g oi" and " We're here, w e're
queer! We're fabulous so
d on't f*** with us " it would
be surprising if students on
campus weren't aware of
what was going on. With
the march culminating to an
empowerment circle in the
library plaza, students and
staff alike celebrated their
voice with words of encouragement and peer recognition.
Taking place on the very
last day of Gaypril, the students and staff made the
message clear that there are
people against homophobia
in CSUSM and on any campus or public setting.
On the evening of May 3,
an exclusive event called
"The Rainbow Recognition
Awards" was hosted at the
McMahan House in honor of
graduating students that have
made positive strides for the
LGBTQA community on
campus. Alongside the honors bestowed upon the graduates, students and staff were
presented with awards for
their selfless contributions
toward making the school a
safer place for all students.
Emotions ran high for hosts
and recipients alike as all reflected on the work they had
done in the past year and further back.
Graduates remembered the
good times with tear-filled
eyes and looked towards
the future as advocates for
change and transcending
tolerance to a level of acceptance for all.
A special mention is in or-
der for the Relay for Life taking place on the track by the
McMahan House. Though
scheduling seemed to be a
conflict, it is hoped that there
were not feelings of competition to be heard.
„Remember, students and
staff, change starts with us.
In the words of Harvey Milk,
openly gay political activist
in the late 60s and throughout the 70s until his untimely assassination, "All young
people, regardless of sexual
orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive
environment in which to
achieve their full potential."
College is a place in which
we can realize that potential.
And let's face it: w e're all
still young, aren't we?

COPY EDITOR
As much fun as the freedom sounds, sometimes
summer break is not that fun
without a few things to do
here and there. We have all
had it: those moments when
we find ourselves moaning
and groaning about something to do. Well, many of us
are adults here. Let's figure
something out:
1. Go outside/travel
Sometimes the best thing
to do is simply get out of the
dwelling place and see the
#world outside of the door. As
fun as it is to be tied to the
computer, you could always
take the technology outside.
It's a start. Go somewhere,
gather a few friends, and
head to the beach or theme
parks. Maybe even a summer
shopping spree could be fun.
If money is an issue, that is
no problem either. Have
a homemade picnic in the
park, go window-shopping,
or troll with friends in public places. It doesn't take that
much to have fun while daylight is abound. If the night
is your preference, there are
utnan Dvtj rM *
e eept W
many possibilities that exist
there as well.
2. Catch up on your favorite entertainment
Got Netflix, Hulu, or access to YouTube for a few
hours a day? Then you've
got yourself a few hours of
entertainment. Catch up on
those series that you're missing, or pick up on some new
ones to occupy your time. If
that's not available, pick up
a book, comic, or other print
entertainment. Hours could
be spent in enjoyment with
these, and at least if they
bore you, you can say you
are not where you were a few
hours ago.
.3. Go hobby hunting
Without the heavy pressure of the spring and fall
sessions, perhaps the summer would be an ideal time
to dive into a worthwhile
hobby. With time available
and stress reasonably lower,
anything will do. And let's be
honest, haven't you always
wanted to try archery or underwater basket weaving?
Maybe you can finally get
back on that horse and, well,
ride the horse? Or maybe it's
just the season to paint the
Mona Lisa.. .or at least try.
4. Get a job
I know, not the most fun
way to spend the summer,
but I can honestly say that it
is a relieving and reasonably
comforting experience to
have a bit of extra spending
money. Turn the ' or' in "Can
I buy this or that?" to a satisfying "and."
5. Be productive
For many of us, we still
have a few years ahead of us~
in college. Just because we
may not bt taking summer
sessions or heavy workloads,
it doesn't mean we can't try
to keep up with learning or
anything along those lines.
Sometimes taking a personal
study time in some interesting subjects can be a delightfully time-consuming opportunity. Maybe you've wanted
to learn about mermaid theory or the history of the Loch
Ness monster, or even do a
bit to learn about the community you live in.
Just because i t's summer,
it doesn't mean there aren't
•any volunteering opportunities around, or that there
won't be anyone that is interested in sharing their field of
expertise with you for a short
while. Opportunities await
and it isn't always wise to
pass all of them up.

Much needed cramming sessions Introducing t he new Cougar List
Students can use on-campus facilities f or studying Sell your textbooks through CSUSM's own 'Craigslist'
B Y KATLIN SWEENEY
FEATURES EDITOR
For the next two weeks,
students can use either the
Gender Equity Center or
Kellogg Library to focus on
preparing for their upcoming
finals.
While both facilities are
used by students throughout
the year f or studying, the
Gender Equity Center and
Kellogg Library will be extending their welcome hours
to accommodate stressed students and last-minute crammers.
For a few days during finals week, the Gender Equity Center will be open f or
24 hours to all students interested in using their study
room, couches, or desks
while studying. The Center
will also have f ree food, coffee and green books for anyone that needs a friendly atmosphere and an occasional
pick-me-up. These extended
hours, also known as Studyeat-cram-athon: Finals Extravaganza, will be from 6
a jn. on May 13 until 10 p.m.
on May 15.
As many students remember, Kellogg Library also
extends its hours during the
weeks leading up to finals.
For those interested in utilizing one of the study rooms
or quiet areas, the study area
on the second floor has extended its hours to 6 a.m. to
midnight, Mondays through
Thursdays and 1 p.m. to 8
p.m. on Sundays. The entire
library is also open from 7
a.m. to 10 p.m. on Mondays
through Thursdays and the
media library on the second
floor is open from 8 a.m. to
10 p.m. on Mondays through
Thursdays. These extended
hours will be available to all
students through May 17.
Regardless of where students choose to study, being
prepared is one of the biggest contributors to academic
success, and utilizing either
the Gender Equity Center or
Kellogg Library can help.

Students always need ways
to network, make money,
and get rid of those textbooks they've used. Now
there is an alternative with
CSUSM's Cougar List.
Cougar Alumni Mario
Clay, Brendan Bass and
Brandon Baker have created a new website called
"Cougar List."
Much
like Craigslist, this web
site is intended to serve
the CSUSM community
in selling personal items,
but it comes with a twist.
It also allows users to network with customers and
communicate through personal profiles, establishing
music playlists that remain
on your personal profile and
many other f un details that
are not often found on sales
websites.
"It allows students to be
able to get access to more
affordable textbooks, do exchanging, and share information," Mario Clay, web
manager and designer, said.
"Every semester students
are trying so hard to buy or
sell textbooks that are sometimes difficult to get from the
student book store because
they're limited or the bookstore* hasn't received them
yet. Sometimes the items are
just way too expensive. Forums, blogs, chat, etc. allows
the students to work together within a community platform."
The idea for the website
started out as an E-commerce class project. Clay
and his colleagues had posed
the question of what a good
student service would be?
From there, they established
Photo by Anne Hall
Cougar List to help organize
advertisements for students
as they create profiles to host
their own listings and be incorporated into a community
profile for networking.
All of North County has
the potential of benefiting
from this web sité. Businesses outside of the school that
focus sales towards student
demographics can advertise
and promote their companies. The main focus from
the creators of Cougar List is
to remain open to promoting
student endeavors and providing a pleasant user experience.
Currently there are 11
members with user accounts.
The marketing and devel-
opment of the web page is
continuing, and the creators
are constantly updating and
modernizing the page. The
3.0 version that will eventually be released will feature
an updated, sleek appearance
and will function more elaborately with social media interaction (Twitter, Facebook,
Pinterest, etc.), and will continue to grow with shown
interest from users. AU that
is needed to continue the service is more members creating a profile and providing
feedback.
When joining the website,
the creators have requested
that participants contribute
$2.00 towards establishing
their profile as a means of
satisfying startup costs. This
small f ee is a one-time charge
that will only temporarily exist f or enrollment. Once the
site has established enough
attention and can function
independently there will no
longer be a startup f ee.
As a promotional consideration, there will be a contest
for various prizes in the fall
2013 semester. More information will be provided regarding the contest at a later
date. In the meantime, log
onto www.cougarlist.ning.
com, to create an account and
start creating your profile.
Share your advertisements
and sell your old textbooks
from this semester to people
you know will need them.

Dealing with faith and college A
senior says good bye t o CSUSM
B Y MATTHEW ROSSIO
B Y A NDREW R EED
C ONTRIBUTOR
C ONTRIBUTOR
Whether you're just going
to college, graduating from
college, or are buried with
work in the middle of your
college career, most likely
at some point in your education, you've been presented a
belief system that is different
than the one you were raised
with.
This happens a lot in college. Sometimes it's blatant
and obvious, but sometimes
it can be traced to a particular professor's bias that
he or she might not even be
aware of. I 'd even go further
and suggest that in a public
school system, nearly every
time you walk into a classroom, you'll be presented
with a different belief system
than your own, especially if
you're a person of faith. This
is not a problem though, but
an opportunity.
In my experience, this potentially challenging experience needs not to be negative
f or people of faith and can
even be a blessing in disguise. I have found that being challenged on what you
Thank you CSUSM. We really haye something special

Club my freshman year and
met the most wonderful people that ended up being my
best friends that stuck with
me throughout college. From
there I decided to branch out
and found myself working

believe in is not a bad thing
if what you believe in is true.
The problem that many people of faith experience, is an
ignorance of their chosen
religion which leaves one
unable to answer questions
raised by their peers or professors. I 'd say there are two
simple answers to this. The
first is to seek truth wherever it lies and trust that God
is truth and will take care of
you, if you trust in Him. The
second is to never be afraid
to ask why.
It has been my experience
that faith in God and going to
college do not have to contradict one another and that
faith and God make sense. I
am a Catholic Christian and
I 've been challenged more
than once on my beliefs,
either directly or subtly, in
class, at U-hour and throughout my daily life in today's
world. I have found however,
that my faith in God is true.
I 've had to re-analyze some
things and even change my
own understanding of God,
but ultimately the faith I was
raised with, had the answers
I was looking for all along.
So from an incoming freshman to a college graduate,
I 'd say that faith and education go hand in hand, as long
as^you give them an equal
chance, and I encourage you
to keep the faith.

at The Clarke. I learned so
much there, from the professional staff and my student
co-workers alike, that I got
to see what tremendous ideas
and efforts executed by my
peers when given the opportunities. My best chances to
learn have been those conversations with professors
in the hallways, discussions
with my USUAB and ASI
friends on the part we get
to play in the future legacy
and growth of the school,
and those 2 a.m. chats with
friends about the memories
we share and about where the
heck w e're going with our
futures. I c an't begin to say

Editors'Topics: The craziest thing you have ever
done o r w ould like t o d o over summer break
"In general, my summers
are pretty lazy. But I think
this year, I really want to just
go to a bunch of amusement
parks: Disneyland, SeaWorld, etc. I think it would be
f un to just spend a week or so
going to different parks with
my friends and enjoying the
fact that I do not have homework!"

"My crazy 'summer' vacation was when I took a trip
to Ireland with my sister in
the second week of the past
fall semester, it wasn't technically a summer vacation,
but it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I could
not resist. I felt like I grew so
much in those 10 days and
the fact that back home in the
States my fellow Cougars
were going to class, somehow made it even more f un
for me. I hope to have more
crazy adventures like that in
the future. Everyone should
go abroad sometime."

"The craziest thing I would
want to do over the course of
a summer isn't really anything crazy, at least not to
me. I would really just want
to drive around all summer
and attend a Major League
Baseball game at all 30 major league team stadiums in
one summer with my brothers and some of my closest
friends, that is my dream
summer."

"My ideal spring break
would be to spend it in San
Francisco. I traveled there
last December and it was
beautiful. Unfortunately, we
didn't get to spend much
time there since I was there
to conduct an interview at
LucasFilms, but we got to
see a lot of the city and I
fell in love. The atmosphere,
the architecture and culture
of San Francisco provide a
sense of belonging. You feel
so small in this huge city, yet
you feel as if this is the place
where all your dreams might
come true and more than
anything, you want to try.
I 'd love to spend more t ime
there; f feel as if the adventures are endless."

"Me and my friends went
swimming in our high school

"I really want to hit the
club scene, mostly because it
seems to be something that's
so out of what I 'm used to.
I don't really mean just go
crazy and go clubbing every
night, but a few nights here
and there seems like it would
be a lot of f un. It would be
nice to just let loose with
friends who have been trying to get me to go for a long
time. Might as well take the
opportunities that would be
available."

attempt to filibuster a town

Bumper stickers 'Not O f This World'
BY B EN CARLSON
STAFF WRITER
Comedian Demetri Martin
once told a joke concerning
bumper stickers, "A lot of
people don't like bumper
stickers. I don't mind bumper
stickers. To me a bumper
sticker is a shortcut Mt's like
a little sign that says, 'Hey,
let's never hang o ut.'"
Labels carry baggage, but
bumper stickers carry irritating statements that are obviously unnecessary.
There are many bumper
stickers I find annoying. First
is the one that is normally

"Coexist". Aren't we already
coexisting? Do they mean
we should coexist and get

sticker of the same religious
symbols design that spells
out "Tolerance."

Mom" and get a peculiar
feeling like I pity those sad
moms who live their lives
through their children's accomplishments. "My son or

Christians who put these

losing weight in certain areas
and gaining it in others is difficult to attain.
While stress over looking
good for the summer has traditionally been considered a
woman-specific issue, men
deal with the pressure of toning up as well. The perceived
'need' to develop a flat stomach, six-pack and muscular
build is something that continues to force men into the
gym as frequently as, if not
more often, than women.
However, this pressure for
both genders to become 'better' looking for one season
out of the year is something
that takes away from the purpose of being on break: not
having to worry. We should
not be worried about curving
our diets or scheduling more
time for the gym just to look
more attractive when wearing a bathing suit. There §re

CSUSM student shares the basics of creating a web series
B Y JULIANA STUMPP
A & E EDITOR
San Diego is filled with
little-known
restaurants,
bars or hangouts that aren't
mainstream...yet. It's always
fun having a local place that
you can bring your Mends
or family to. With summer
approaching, finding places
to eat and enjoy is a must.
Kyle Miller, the creator of
the YouTube web series
"Backyard
Adventures,"
goes around Southern California places and documents
his experience for his viewers . Miller sat down with The
Cougar Chronicle to explain
his process and what it's really like having a web series.
Question: What prompt-
ed you to start a web series?
Answer: What prompted
the idea for me to start a web
series was my first class
that I took here; Chicano Theatre. A lot of my
classmates told me that
I was really good and I
should use my talent.
Then I got the idea to
do my own travel web
series, "Backyard Adventures," and make
comedy videos like the
"Dating Tips with Kyle
Miller."
Q: For every webisode, how do you come
up with ideas?
A: For "Backyard Adventures," it's a bit of a challenge
because you have to get per-
the advice people would give
me. So I wanted to make a
comedy about dating advice
people have given me.
Q: Is there a creative
process you go through
for every webisode?
A: For "Backyard Adventures", I wanted to
do something different
than other travel series.
There are elements of
travel hosts I see within
me like the dorkiness of

goal in "Backyard Adventures" is educate and

Book R eview:The G reat Gatsby' by F. S cott Fitzgerald
BY BEN CARLSON
STAFF WRITER
Many aspiring intellectuals, especially those attending this university, love to
use the cliché phrase "the
book was way better than the
movie," when referring to
thefilmversion of a popular
novel.
With the film version of
"The Great Gatsby," hitting
theaters May 10, this is a preemptive review to save you,
the reader, from making the
mistake of using that annoying phrase in front of your
friends or. colleagues and
also to remind you that no
film version of this American
classic will ever do it justice.
It's been tried before.
Most of us will see the film
for its own sake, but one
should not outsource a reading of F. Scott Fitzgerald's
classic novel entirely to à
few hours in a dark, air-conditioned room. Bookstores
everywhere have the paperback edition for cheap (less
than a movie ticket) and I insist you pick it up and revisit Fitzgerald's tale of young
elites obsessed with their
idea of the American dream.
It is a novel that will speak to
those graduating this spring
in that its themes explore the
relationship between the pursuit of wealth and the dream
of happiness and individualism.
In leaving academia behind, graduates have the
opportunity to remind themselves what he or she intends
to accomplish in their professional lives.
Fitzgerald challenges the
reader to examine his or her
own American dream. Many
graduates have noble goals
in mind, which should be
protected against the influence or pursuits of pleasure
and greed, however tempting. As Fitzgerald put it, "it
was what preyed On Gatsby,
what foul dust floated in the
wake of his dreams." Gatsby's own downfall was his
obsession with the past.
But the future is both daring and exciting. The exploration of unknown territory
and the plans we students intend on pursuing in that territory that lies ahead. As the
narrator exclaims at the end
of the novel, "tomorrow we
ForYour Entertainment

will run faster, stretch out
our arms farther."
So, to the class of 2013,1
recommend revisiting this
landmark in American literature before you charge
bravely into the world.

"Revenge"

Must-Watch Episode:
"Chaos" Season 1, Episode 15
Revenge is one of ABC's
most captivating shows, with
protagonist Emily Thorne
moving
back to her childhood
home in order to wreak havoc on the people who caused
her father's
untimely death. Having
spent years in juvenile hall
and away from her home in
the Hamptons,
Thorne uses the fact that
no one recognizes her to her
advantage. From seducing
her enemies' son to faking
her identity to blowing up an
office, "Revenge" will create
an air of mystery and suspense that is hard to ignore.
And with season two still
airing on ABC, viewers that
get addicted to the show on
Netflix will not have to wait
for the "next season to be added online to finish watching
thf latest episodes.
"Girls Just Want to Have"
XXXXI5
Contrary to the obnoxious
1979 Cyndi Lauper hit with
the same name, "Girls Just
Want to
Have Fun" will tug at your
heartstrings and make you
laugh at the right moments.
A young Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt star in
this campy romantic comedy
about two girls trying to find
who they are. When Janey
(Parker) moves to town, she
meets Lynne (Hunt), who
instantly becomes her best
friend. Janey realizes that
Lynne has the same favorite television show as her,
"Dance TV," and they begin
to bond over their mutual desire to one day be performers
on it. However, opportunity
comes knocking sooner rather than later when auditions
are being held in town. Torn
between wanting to abide by
her military father's strict
rules and wanting to follow
her biggest dream, Janey decides to take a risk and see
what happens. This classic
'80s teen dance movie is sure
to make you smile within the
first half hour.

Summer is almost here,
and with the fun in the sun
comes concerts .
Where the sun is
shining, no homework
is due (for those who
aren't dying in summer
school) and no rules apply. Whether you enjoy
the relaxing peaceful
music of Marilyn Manson, or the head banging
mixes of Justin Beiber, this
summer promises to have
the glorious musical talents
of artists.
Two music festivals have
already kicked off the concert series, Stagecoach and
Cochella...and having attended one of those and experiencing the classiness of
culture rich environments, I
can say, without a doubt that
this summer is going to be
awesome.
Why not go out of your
music comfort zone this
summer? There are so many
concerts to choose from and
with the endless funds that
all of us college students
have (especially me), you
should try and see as many
as you can. Concerts are also
a fun way to hang out with
friends, sing like you would
in the shower, and of course
see artists that you love or
meet a few new ones.
Locally, the Del Mar Fair
will host the musical styl•ing's of Switchfoot on June
14, Martina McBride on
June 20, Big Time Rush on
June 22, Train on June 27
and Adam Lambert on July
2. Tickets are currently on
sale for these events and
more information can be
found at http://www.
M
s dfair.com/index.
php?fuseaction=concerts .grandstand.
Chula Vista's Sleep
Train Amphitheatre
will host Tim McGraw
on June 7, Pitbull and
Ke$ha on June 16,
and the Vans Warped
Tour on June 19. One luxury about this Amphitheatre
is that there are cheap lawn
seats for as low as $23.
Valley View Casino center
will also host Bruno Mars on
July 30 .
Make sure to check online
and get tickets fast, because
can sell out pretty fast. Have
a nice summer, be safe, and
more importantly, go to a
lot of concerts. I'll see you
there.

RecycleMania 2013 brings recycling pride back to CSUSM
B Y K ATLIN SWEENEY
FEATURES EDITOR
After a devastating loss
in last year's RecycleMania, this year's competition
brought good news back to
CSUSM.
The eight-week competition, which lasted this year
from Feb. 3 to March 30,
sought to motivate colleges
and universities to increase
their recycling, prevent more
toxins from being created
in landfills and to teach students to separate their trash
into different bins when they
throw things away.
RecycleMania

campuses across the United
States and Canada participated in the 2013 RecycleMania
competition, hoping to win
the coveted "Grand Champion" title or to place in various other categories.
"Grand Champion repre-
sents the true measure of
your recycling on your campus. It is waste divided into
two categories: trash and
recyclables. We are in other
competitions that are important, but Grand Champion is
the prime, overall champion,
and that's the one we aim to
win every year," CSUSM
Recycling Program Coordinator Carl Hanson said.
While CSUSM failed to
place higher than third in
the competition for Grand
Champion, this year, the university took home first place
in the Targeted Materials
Category for Paper category.
However, CSUSM's biggest win was in the major
category Per Capita Classic,
defeating the other campuses with an impressive
53.11 lbs., or total pounds
of recyclables collected per
person. This is calculated by
combining the full weight of
recycling done and not done
on campus and dividing it by
the amount of students and
faculty members that con-

What team are you rooting
for this MLB season?
Decathlon dominates, school record shattered

O ut of 100 students polled. Information compiled by Alex Franco
A record that has withstood
seven years of trial and error
is no more. CSUSM Junior
Maurice Strickland from
San Diego, has become the
school's "greatest athlete,"
a title that has traditionally
been given to decathlon winners since King Gustav V
bestowed the honor upon
Jim Thorpe, the world's first
Olympic Decathlon Champion in 1912.
Strickland broke Aaron
Parker's former school record by a staggering 550
points, with a total of 6,557
points in decathelon's 10
disciplines last Thursday afternoon at the always competitive Mt. Sac Relays.
Strickland reflects on his
performance and what the
accomplishment means to
him and his legacy.
Question: Was breaking
the record a goal of yours
coming into the season?
Answer: My. main focus
coming into the season was
to better myself and to keep
improving in each event. In
the decathlon, I have some
weaker events and I just
wanted to train hard in those.
The record was in the back
of my mind and I knew if I
trained hard I could beat it.
Q: What does it mean to
you to have a record like
this, in such a tough event
like the decathlon?
A: It really means a lot. It is
a symbol of all my hard work
and long weeks of practice.
It will be nice to know that
even when I am no longer a
student here, I have left my
mark.
Q: What was it that drew
you to run the decathlon
instead of a single event?
A: I have always felt that
one event was not enough. I
started in high school in the
pole vault and hurdles, then
as my career progressed, I
became infatuated with the
idea of being able to do all
types of events. I always
liked the idea of being a
well-rounded person and I
guess that same idea applied
to track. After two long days
and feeling like I can't stand
anymore it feels amazing to
think about what I just accomplished.
Q: After breaking such
an impressive record,
where do you look to go
from here? How will you
keep yourself hungry/motivated for more?
A: Staying motivated is
easy for me; there is always
room for improvement and
I am never satisfied. I constantly set new goals for
myself and one of my new
goals is to be the national
champion in the dècathlon.
That would be the cherry on
top of an already amazing
season.
Although there may be no
king or queèn in San Marcos
to declare him the "world's
greatest athlete,", there is
an entire campus of almost
10,000 to revere in the astounding feat Strickland
pulled off.
Records were meant to be
broken, but Maurice Strickland showed that some were
meant to be destroyed.
T HE H E A R T B EAT: Seniors
Moderation is essential for alcohol consumption
B Y CURTIS BOVEE
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), there
are approximately 80,000
deaths attributable to excessive alcohol use in the U.S.
each year.
In the U.S., a standard
drink consists of 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol. This
amount is typically found in
12 ounces of beer, 8 ounces
of malt liquor, 5 ounces of
wine, or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits or liquor.
Moderation is considered
one drink per day for women, and no more than two
drinks per day for men.
Unfortunately, statistics
reveal that most people fail
I
to stay within these limits.
A binge occurs when men
consume greater than five
drinks in two hours and
when women consume more
than four drinks in the same
period. The CDC reports
that one in six adults binge
drink about four times a
month, consuming about
eight drinks per binge.
Furthermore, 92 percent of
adults in the U.S. who admit to drinking report binge
drinking at least once in the
last month.
Binge drinking can result
in hefty repercussions for
everyone. According to the
CDC, in 2006:
- Binge drinkers were 14
times more likely to report
alcohol-impaired
driving
than non-binge drinkers.
Afhlptp
.Minieie
- Binge drinking cost the
U.S. $223.5 billion, or $1.90
a drink, from losses in productivity, healthcare, crime
and other expenses.
- Binge drinking costs federal, state and local governments 62 cents per drink.
- There were more than
1.2 million emergency room
visits and 2.7 million physician visits due to excessive
alcohol consumption.
Health-related repercussions from excessive alcohol consumption are
endless. More immediate
consequences include unintentional injuries; which
involve traffic injuries, falls,
drownings, burns and unintentional firearm injuries;
and violence towards oneself and others.

honored as CSUSM splits
series against The Master's College
BY ALEX FRANCO
S PORTS E DITOR
It was Senior Day at
GSUSM on Saturday, April
20, where the No. 11 ranked
Cougar Baseball team honored their nine graduating
seniors.
The team's seniors include:
Kody Sepulveda, Marcus Meraz, Steve Messner,
James Dykstra, Mike Guadagnini, Kyle Secciani, Frank
Charlton, Mike Scarmella
and Kenny Belzer.
It was a tale of two teams
as CSUSM fell to Masters
College 11-4 in game one,
and turned the tables and
routed Master's 10-2 in the
second game.
Senior ace James Dykstra
took the mound in game one
and pitched well into the seventh inning before running
into a jam in the top of the
eighth and allowing two runs
to give Master's College the
lead and ultimately the win.
A comeback effort would
fall short for the Cougars in
the ninth inning when Bran-
don Bentson belted a huge
2-run home run, his second
of the year, but it wasn't
enough to overcome the
bevy of runs Master's produced, falling 11-4.
Game two of Saturday's
double-header featured an
onslaught of Cougar runs
and hits as the offense put up
10 runs on 15 hits. On a day
to honor the seniors, it was a '
couple of underclassmen that
really stepped up and helped
the team to victory.
Junior pitcher Hunter
Brown started game two and
held the Master's College
bats silent for the better part
of his 5.1 innings pitching,
only allowing two runs while
striking out five hitters. On
the other side of the game,
freshman Brandon Bentson was the catalyst for the
Cougar offense, continuing
his monstrous hitting from
game one into game two as
he scored the game'sfirstrun
on a two run double down
the right field line finishing
the game 2-4 with two runs.
Tyler Bernard and Kyle
Secciani contributed with
their own two run hits in
what was a big fourth inning,
where they put up five runs
to carry the team to an impressive 10-2 win over the
No. 9 Master's putting an
end to a three game losing
streak and improving to 30-9
this season.
"Facing a very good team,
it's not always going to go
the way you plan," coach
Pugh said. "I was happy that
we were able to get a win
out of today despite the days
struggles."
The performance against
Master's puts the team at the
30 win plateau for the first
time in the programs history
and puts them in great position heading into the season's
final games next week and
eventually the playoffs afterwards according to Pugh.
The Cougar's wrap their
regular season up at noon on
April 26 at home, in a double-header against Arizona
Christian before heading into
the playoffs.

Art & veterans on campus Good to the bone: The benefits of'Pause for Paws'
B Y K A T L I N S WEENEY
FEATURES EDITOR
Earlier this month, students
had the opportunity to give
back to the men and women
who have served our country.
In the course Art and Social Change, students learn
how to become leaders and
change their society with art.
Students Courteney Henley, Megan Koelln, Shayna
Benavidez, Jorge Hernandez, Aimee De Leon, Kelsey Pinedo and Salisha Canare taking what they have
learned in this class to help
the veterans on campus.
The Art and Social Change
has already collected 100
books and $100 in donations for CSUSM's Veteran's
Center, but they hope to surpass this amount with donations from students, staff and
faculty on campus.
According to group member Courteney Henley, the
idea to help the veterans on
campus came from fellow
group member Aimee De
Leon, who knows people
in the Veteran's Center and
after talking to them, recognized the need for textbooks
and reading books.
"It is important that veterans receive textbooks and
reading books because text-
books are expensive and
some [veterans] can't afford them, so we thought as
a group, it would be nice of
us and the whole school to
donate used textbooks that
we're not using anymore and
give it to them," Henley said.
On April 9 and 11, the Art
and Social Change group and
veterans from the Veteran's
Center held events to encourage students to donate books
and art pieces. The veterans
cooked hamburgers and gave
out desserts to those students
that stopped by and donated.
For students that missed
the opportunity to donate
earlier this month, the Art
and Social Change group has
created more ways that students can contribute to their
cause. There will be bins set
up around campus where
students can drop off their
books and art pieces for donation or students can go to
the Veteran's Center in the
third floor of Craven Hall in
room 3724 and deliver them
personally.

At the end of every semester, "Pause for Paws" is an
event that takes place in front
of Kellogg Library, where
certified therapy dogs are
awaiting stressed students to
send some love their way.
The foundation that sponsors these college-based
events, "Love on a Leash,"
started in the early 1980's
by dog obedience instructor
Liz Palika. She introduced
the thought of pet-provided
therapy to schools? hospitals,
nursing homes and more. Palika's intent for "Love on a
Leash" was for these therapy
pets to brighten someone's
day.
Bonnie Biggs, Board Vice
President, has observed firsthand the effect
these
dogs have on
people.
"UC Davis
did a study
that
indicates
that
kids
who
read to dogs
can improve
their reading skills by 12 percent. I've
witnessed this potential in
kids who are shy about reading but loosen up and enjoy
reading to toy dog, Koshi,
and even show her the pictures," Biggs said.
These dogs are privately
owned and go through extensive
training, but
knowing a
dog's temperament is
vital in the
sense that
they need
to be able
to give affection to a
hospice patient or allow a group of kids
to pet her.
"Given their ability to
bring comfort and joy, colleges began bringing dogs
to campus during finals.
Emerging research indicates
that the very act of petting a
dog reduces blood pressure,
slow heart rates and changes brain chemistry," Biggs
explained. "Students miss
their own pets and some just
drop to their knees to hug the
dogs."
Most recently, some dogs
were brought to Boston in
light of the Boston Marathon
bombings that took place a
few weeks ago to help the
survivors and mourning families.
"Pause for Paws" will take
place on May 2 from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. outside of Kellogg
Library.

The Pride Center is continuing to show movies
every day and is, and always
has been, open and welcoming to students that are curious about what the center
does. Frequent discussions
are continuing, some during U-hour and some during

tackle heavy and often controversial topics that are

THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, APRIL 24,2013
OPINION
Student debt vs degree The film industry and the 'American Dream'
BY WHITNEY MAHON
CONTRIBUTOR
As many college students
are beginning to prepare for
finals coming up within the
next month, the wait begins
to find out their financial aid
eligibility for the upcoming
academic year. While some
are preparing for summer
vacation in some exotic city,
others are excited to be able
to put in more hours at their
jobs to save up for the following semester.
During my undergraduate studies from 2007-2011,
California State University consecutively increased
their tuition 10% each academic year. When will increases in tuition and fees
stop? Recently, President
Haynes posted on the California State University San
Marcos website homepage
the proposal of a "Success
Fee" maxing out at $275 per
semester by the 2016-2017
academic year. That just adds
to the money coming out of
student's pockets.
I plan to stay in school for
the rest of my life to postpone paying back my loans
because everyone knows that
trying to get a career within
the six months grace period
they give us is highly unlikely in this economy. I need a
loan just to start paying back
my loans.
According to FinAid, in
quarter one of the 2012-13
school year, over 9 million
f ree FAFSA applications
were submitted, with California having the highest
submission rate. With such
a high participation rate, you
would think that this would
be an easy and delightful
process. Financial aid has
been anything b ut...
The most efficient thing
about financial aid is when
they gave you the ability to
automatically link your application to the government
page which transported your
tax information over for you.
That saved you a whole 30
minutes; the time I wish they
would take to realize that my
parent's information had absolutely no correlation to my
life expenses.
The second year I was in
college was the same year
my parents stopped supporting me after declaring
all
me independent according
to government regulations.
However, none of that really mattered since I was
under the age of 25 and was

information on my financial
aid application which altered
my eligibility of receiving
the necessary funding.

According to The College
Board, two-thirds of fulltime undergraduate students
receive some sort of financial aid, whether it is loans,
grants, scholarships, and/or
work-study. It is evident that
over half of students depend
on these sources of financial
support and without it; they
would be stuck living life
with nothing more than a
high school diploma.
And don't get me wrong,
students can go through an
entire college career without
receiving any financial aid
but even working 40 hours a
week at 17 dollars per hour,
sure I could have afford my
tuition, but would end up being evicted from my apartment and eating Top Ramen
out of the bag.
One last issue is that financial aid requires you to be
enrolled full-time in order to
receive all of your financial
assistance, yet schools are
becoming so overcrowded
that it is almost impossible
to get the classes you need.

Over spring break, I had
the opportunity to completely geek out and go to the sets
of one of the most popular,
captivating and nail biting
shows on television, AMC's
"The Walking Dead" in Atlanta, Georgia.
For those of you that do
not watch "The Walking
Dead", stop reading this and
go watch it now. For the rest
of the sane population, "The
Walking Dead" is a show
about the zombie apocalypse that follows a group of
southerners that face the normal challenges of the post-
apocalyptic world and they
get chased, around by braineating people.
Wfiile on my trip, I visited the iconic geek locations
such as Morgan's House,
Downtown Atlanta, Rick's
House, the Quarry and the
CDC.
What was different with
these sets compared to others
was the fact that these wereactually peoples homes, real
work-filled buildings and
real cities full of - people.
The realism of the show presented itself with how many
people really did occupy
the streets, parks and buildings. I felt engulfed into the

In a feisty mood lately? Need to let out that last-month-of-school
angst? The listed songs are sure to express those feelings of
revenge. Whether it was an ex-boyfriend or a friendship gone sour,
these songs hold true to the feelings we have when good relationships go bad.
" Want U B ack" B y C her Lloyd
Cher Lloyd gives off a feisty air in this upbeat hip-hop revenge
song. With fun lyrics to sing along with the dancing tune, you will
want to set this song on repeat to party to again and again.
" King of A nything" By S ara Bareilles
This is a song that illustrates a true woman's independent character. She stands up for herself against her overbearing, over controlling ex. Her sassy lyrics are exactly how some women feel when it
comes to their previous relationships.
" Wide A wake" By K aty P erry
Katy Perry sings her heart out in this heart-wrenching song that
expresses the feelings of a woman who was caught under the spell
of a man who was not good for her. Some say this song has to do
with the singer's divorce with Russell Brand.
" Set Fire t o t he R ain" By A dele
Adele is the best when it comes to revenge/comeback songs.'Set
Fire to the Rain' is one of those songs in her album *2I \ In this
song, she sings for all women to be strong and stand up for their
own free will,
" jar of H earts" B y C hristina P erri
The mystic tale in this song, especially portrayed in her music
video, is a true testament for women to not be run over. Perri has
a very artistic way of portraying her thoughts in song, and this one
is definitely one to listen to.

The eighth annual CSUSM
Student Media Festival returns next month, and organizers are encouraging students to enter their films and
videos before the deadline
next week.
Film professor Jonathan
Berman, who is coordinating
the festival with fellow VPA
professors Minda Martin
and Kristine Diekman, said
that while most of the student entries come from arts
and communications departments, the festival is open to
all.
"We're looking for entries
from all across the campus,"
he said. "Students should really know how to read and
write video as much as they
know how to read and write
with words."
Berman said many former
CSUSM student filmmakers
have gone on to successful
careers in the entertainment
business. And one film featured at a past Student Media Festival on the Wounded
Warriors Project at Camp
Pendleton was later featured
at a film festival in Washington, D.C.

We're open to all kinds of
films," Berman said. "We've
seen personal stuff, documentaries, immigration films
and even some fun little

Employees of Dunder Mifflin-Sabre turn off their mics

B Y M E U S S A M ARTINEZ
NEWS EDITOR
In 2005, television viewers
in the U.S. were introduced
to "The Office," a 'mockumentary' series based on the
U.K. version of the same title. Fans of the series, which
centralizes on the everyday
lives of office employees at
Dunder Mifflin-Sabre Paper
Company, Inc., have ridden
an impeccable, emotional
roller-coaster as they witnessed characters transition
through alluring situations
in the office and in their personal lives.
The beloved Steve Carell,
who played the "World's
Best Boss" Michael Scott,
left the series in season seven, viewers were forced to
witness the catastrophes that
have followed Scott's departure. With guest appearances
of Will Ferrell , Ray Romano,
Kathy Bates, Catherine Tate
and recently the beloved Roseanne Barr, viewers aren't
quite sure where Dunder
Mifflin-Sabre's future is
headed.
Though season 8 was particularly rough for the show,
with the frustration added
to employees when James
Spader's character as Robert California, new regional
manager was introduced,
season 9 picked up with
comical scenes the audience is accustomed to. After
Andy Bernard's character
(Ed Helms) is reunited with
the regional manager's position, the every day humor
of working in the office is
returned, much to the joy of
viewers.
The past nine seasons have
been memorable. Viewers have witnessed Michael
Scott through heartache
and heartbreak with various
women, deal with racism in
the office (though he was the
cause of it most of the time)
and transition from "friend"
and menace to brilliant salesman, reminding the audience
and employees the reason he
was placed as regional manager for the Scranton branch.
After leaving Dunder Mifflin
temporarily and forming his
own company (The Michael
Scott Paper Company) in
season five, Scott returned
with gusto, ready to pulverize any and all of Dunder
Mifflin's competitors. Viewers have experienced possibly the most romantic,
heartfelt development of a
relationship through Pam
Beesly (Jenna Fischer) and
Jim Halpert (John Krasinski)
as Pam leaves her emotionally abusive husband and
settles into the arms of Jim,

To cover its expenses for
student education, CSUSM
is considering adding a fee to
student tuition that will grow
from $350 a year to $550
a year over the next three
years.
In an effort to keep up with
the cost of providing a quality education, the campus has
designed the Academic Excellence and Student Success

reductions that have undermined the ability of CSUSM
to support its students.

Future for higher education
BY WENDOLYN LEAL
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
The California Faculty Association, a union of 23,000
professors, lecturers, librarians, counselors and coaches
who teach in the California
State University system, is
involved in the Campaign
for the Future of Higher
Education. This campaign is
driven to ensure that affordable quality higher education
is accessible to all sectors of
society.
Sociology professor Garry
Rolison explains, "the Campaign for funding Higher Education takes a different perspective and that perspective
is that we can actually do it.
We can continue to publicly
fund our universities and we
don't have to fund them on
the backs of students and increase tuition and fees."
By design, the CFA exists to provide opportunities
for everyone seeking higher
education. The members
advocate quality education
for our students, fairness for
instructors and policies that
ensure access to higher education.
The Campaign for the Future of Higher Education has
released three papers geared
towards stimulating a more
thought-provoking method
about paying for higher
education in the country.
According to futureofhighered.org, two of the CFHE
working papers address the
misconception that funding
higher education through the
public sector instead of steep
increases in tuition is merely
impossible. The other paper
focuses on the idea of a free

2013 Senior Class Gift campaign aims at
raising money for student scholarship
BY MELISSA MARTINEZ
N EWS EDITOR
After last year's success
with the Senior Class Gift
Campaign, the Foundation
Board and student committee
are aiming to create a scholarship to continue aiding current and future students.
The Senior Class Gift Campaign started in 2008 and began its student committee in
2011 to bring student voices,
ownership and responsibilities for students to help their
peers. Last year, the campaign raised 106 gifts, more
than the two previous years
combined. In addition to
"matching donors"—people
who would match what the
campaign raised dollar for
dollar to a certain amount—
the ending amount of gifts
resulted in raising just over
$6,000.
While CSUSM is still a
relatively new campus, the
campaign aims at building a
legacy in raising money for
students. Following campuses that have implemented the
Senior Class Gift Campaign
for decades, the student committee for the campaign traditionally decides exactly
what the students would
like the funds to support.
Last year, student affairs
approached the committee
with a new fund program f or
students called the Student
Emergency Fund. It makes
funds available for students
who experienced unfortunate
emergencies, like an apartment fire or the death of a
family member requiring the
student to need a plane ticket
home.
Every year, the student
committee decides and designates a program they wish
the gifts to benefit.
Unless the donors specify
the program or college they
wish their donation to go
to, the donation will go to
the student committee designated program. Last year, :

spects what the actual cost to

Rolison is a strong believer
in the power of education as
are many of the supporters of
CFHE.
"It is a pathway for an informed citizenry and the
realization of equality and
democracy. But there will always be issues of equity, of
course.
However, we are in a situation right now where, because of basic inequities, we
don't have everybody in the
university that could benefit
from education and if they
don't benefit, we d on'tbenefit," Rolison said.

As professor Rolison said,
"the point of the matter is
that we have the possibility
to train students to become

Those possibilities are feasible though the Students for

to build the student movement for educational rights

tives from ASI, the Academic
Senate and others to discuss
the fee and get feedback.
To pass such a fee, the
campus must gather student
input. The campus can consult with students through a
vote or a process called "alternative consultation."
CSUSM has chosen the
alternative consultation process which involves hosting
forums and asking for input on their website csusm.

"This decision was based on

So what have these peacemakers been up to? Apparently, they've been doing
We have a few students on campus who are
homeless. So, the money
is being well used immediately," Briner said.
The committee aims at
showing students the importance of giving back
to fellow or future peers.
As Briner highlights, "the
idea of a senior class campaign is to teach students
what giving back (some call
it paying forward), the impact
of giving can have on their
current and future students."
This year, the Foundation
Board decided to create a
student scholarship to be distributed next academic year.
"What students probably
don't realize or don't think
about is [that] some of the
things they're able to take
advantage of at this school
is philanthropic generosity
of people who've come before them. So whether it's
a scholarship, a building, a .
program, a lot of times those
are funded by people who
have given," said Briner.
The senior class campaign asks students of participation—regardless of the
amount of the gift—to participate and give back to current
and future students in their
time of need and understand
the importance of giving.
Though the title states
"Senior Class Gift Campaign," the committee of
students includes both seniors and juniors; students
of any year are able to
make a gift benefiting their
current and future peers.
This year, the Senior
Class Gift Campaign asks
students to give $20.13 in
honor of the class of 2013.

an outstanding j ob, but what
about the details?
When asking McManus
whether the UPD is shy
when it comes to releasing
crime reports, he replied,
"Communication between
UPD and the student body
is sometimes mishandled,"
and that they "take caution"
when proceeding to give out
information. "Being careful about proceedings" as
McManus put it, is essential
in avoiding miscommunication.
Police reports:
According to McManus,
"a typical week on CSUSM
consists of DUI reports and
noise complaints," with over
50 percent being from non-
students. H e then proceeded
to list off three or four alcohol violations, only1 one of
which was f rom a CSUSM
student from this past week.
The 21-year-old male student was caught at 2 a.m.
wandering aimlessly in the
middle of a street adjacent to
campus.
Alcohol on campus:
Alcohol, it seems, is still
a topic of importance to the
UPD and is perhaps one of
the most crucial factors in
maintaining the No. 1 spot on
the list of safest universities
in California.
The Chronicle recently
highlighted opinions by our
editors on whether the campus should remain a dry

campus or, pardon the expression, get wet. In rebuttal,
"there is an inherent downside to alcohol," McManus
said. "The CSUSM campus
is relatively quiet compared
to SDSU or UCSD."*
So while CSUSM remains the safest and possibly friendliest university in
California, Chief McManus
supports the continuation of
a dry campus to maintain
as much peace as possible.
There may always be an
occasional inebriated student wandering around, but
according to the UPD, for
CSUSM to remain peaceful,
it must remain dry as well.

com/LAX.
Concussions are the most
common form of traumatic
brain injuries (TBI) and any
blow to the head should be
taken seriously.
According tô the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), approximately 1.7 million people
sustain a TBI annually, or
every 21 seconds in the U.S.
A concussion is caused
by a bump, jolt, or blow to
the head, resulting in impairments in brain function.
When left untreated, concussions can cause serious brain
damage. A common misconception regarding concussions is that there need be a
loss of consciousness. This
is not true. In fact, most concussions occur without a loss
of consciousness.
Symptoms of concussions
can include:
- confusion
- clumsiness
- nausea or vomiting
- slurred speech
- headache
- problems with balance
- dizziness
-, sensitivity to light or
noise
- sluggishness
- ringing in ears
- behavior or personality
changes
- concentration difficulties
- memory loss
Importantly, even when
the symptoms disappear,
brain function is still not 100
percent normal. It is imperative that you are medically
cleared before returning to
any kind of activities, including sports and mental activities.
If you or someone you
know sustains a concussionlike injury, it is important to
do the following:
- Refrain from further participation in
activity. This is extremely
important. You might feel
like you can continue and
fight through the pain, but
if you have sustained a concussion, the symptoms
will not go away. Further
participation with TBI symptoms will certainly
exacerbate any symptoms.
- Get evaluated by a medical professional immediately.
- Wait to return to activity until cleared by a doctor.
It may take anywhere from
weeks to months before being cleared medically.
"It has been five weeks and
I still haven't been cleared by
my doctor to return to swimming or surfing," Tess de
Ghetaldi, daughter of faculty
member Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi, said.
Tess, currently a junior at
Torrey Pines High School,
has suffered recurrent concussions, twp of which were
major TBIs; the first due to
being hit in the head with
a long board while surfing.
She i s currently part of an
NFL study through UCSD
and has had extensive medical testing to determine the
severity of her head injuries.
"Tess has had CT Scans
and MRI's on her brain;
however, it wasn't until she
had magnetoencephalography (MEG) which revealed
the extent of her injury," Dr.
de Ghetaldi said.
MEG machines have a
diagnosing rate of 90 percent; however, only 20-30
machines currently exist in
the country. CT's and MRI's
diagnose concussions only
about 10 percent of the time,
emphasizing the need f or
MEGs when serious head injuries occur.
Further studies indicate
that those who experience
multiple concussions are atrisk for subsequent concussions and are more likely to.
develop persistent post-concussive symptoms, including depression, which can
have life-long repercussions.
Alarmingly, those who have
experienced a concussion
are three-to-six times more
likely to experience recurrent
concussions.
The message is simple,
if you hit your head, get
checked out.
Complete your degree in as little as 12 months.

Cougar bats come alive in sweep of vi siting Ashford

The offensive struggles
appear to b e over now for
the CSUSM baseball team
as they trounced the visiting Ashford Saints Monday,
March 4 in San Marcos.
The cougars scored a combined 22 runs in the double
header, in what Head Coach
Pugh called their best performance of the season by far.
"We really swung the bats
better today than we have
all season, I knew we better
than what we were showing." Pugh Said. "Hitting is
one of those things that's just
contagious, one guy gets hitting and they all s tart."
And that it was, as the hit

respectively. Catcher Kody
Sepulveda helped the cause
by adding a solo homerun to
straight away centerfield in
the sixth inning.
Game two of the double
header saw more of the same
out of the Cougars with some
added production on the offensive side. CSUSM struck
early and often, with score
six runs in the g ame's first
three innings on its way to a
dominating 14-2 rout of Ashford.
Bentson and Sepulveda

both games and the runs followed suit. CSUSM won the
first game with a score of 8-0,
as star pitcher James Dykstra
pitched another dominating
lights out game, surrendering only three hits to Ashford
hitters and striking out 11 in
a complete game shutout.
"Pitching was great, James
Dykstra was outstanding especially after coming back
from being sick for a week,"
Pugh said.
The Cougar offense helped
take the pressure off Dykstra
throughout the game striking
first in the third inning off a
Kenny Belzer single to left
that scored Kyle Secciani.
Belzer would finish the game
3-5 with a pair of RBI's.

CSUSM's very own No. 1
ranked softball team carried
a 10 game winning streak
as the Lady Cougars hosted
Arizona Christian, Hope International and La Sierra for
the two-day Cougar Clash
event.
Friday, March 1 was the
start of the clash when Arizona took first swing at the top
ranked Cougars against AilAmerican Cortney Allen. Allen demonstrated why she is
considered one of the best in
the nation at her position as
she kept Arizona Christian's
bats silent f or four innings on
her way to an 11-1 pitching
record in this early softball
season.
Olivia Lucatuorto began
the scoring in the clashes
opener with an RBI double
in t he first inning to score
Kaitlin McGinley and finish
the game 2-2 with a pair of
R BI's. The offense was powered by right fielder Patricia
Banda who helped bring in 4
of the Cougars total runs going 1 -2 with a double.
CSUSM would win the
game 11-0 and f ace Hope
International in the second
game of day 1. Banda would
once again be the driving
force of the Cougar offense
has she brought in the game's
first 2 runs against Hope International.
Alex Miller led the team
going 3-4 with 2 doubles
and a RBI on the day. Allen pitched another shutout
in game 2, this time going
six innings and striking out
5, carrying the team to 5-0
victory in the first days final
game for CSUSM.
Sunday picked up where
Friday left off when the Cougars would take on Arizona
Christian for the second time.
CSUSM scored a bevy of
runs in the first 3 innings of
the match led by Tani Leasau
and Taylor Ybarra's third inning homeruns that brought
in 2 runs apiece. Ybarra had
a triple on the day as well finishing 3-3 with 3 RBI's beating Arizona Christian 10-1.
Cal State looked to finish
the Clash unbeaten as they
faced La Sierra in the final
clash of the weekend. The
Lady Cougars would have to
fight from behind this time as
La Sierra struck early with 2
runs in the first inning off of
pitcher Allen.
CSUSM would answer
right back with 2 runs of
their own in the bottom of
the first inning with Leasau
belting a double to left field
to score Lucatuorto and
Banda. Alex Miller would
give the Cougars the lead in
the following inning with a
steal attempt of second base
that allow Brittney Guy to

lead they wouldn't give back
winning 8-2.
Leasau and Brogan Hoenisch led the way for the offense both going 2-4, helping
Cortney Allen pick up her
fourth win of the weekend.
Allen pitched both games
Sunday afternoon striking a
total of 8 batters.
"We are a young, growing team and we have some
growing pains right now but
we came away with four
wins this weekend and that's
what's important," Head
Coach Dave Williams said
on his team's performance
this weekend. "We just have
to work on being mentally

and be ready to play."
Coach Williams also says

superior to me in intellectual
thought, and I felt like I was
sitting in his classroom. He
spoke to me not as a professor, but as a new friend. I also
noticed something else unusual. Students were walking
up to him and shaking his
hand when saying hello.
Within the time he allotted
me in conversation, he had
at least twenty-five students

Professor Santos considers
Father Boyle his mentor as

he went to UC Santa Barbara and CSU Los Angeles,
where he majored in Sociology. One of his biggest motivations to succeed was a
teacher that he had in high
school.

I would always finish my
homework before I went out
to hang out with them and
the street credit I developed
living in Boyle Heights.
Homework was a priority
for me and friends who were
closest to me respected that
and understood," Santos
said.
- As he spoke, it was evident
how much he loves the area
of Boyle Heights and how
much he missed many of the
people he grew up.
"When I got to college, I
was amazed at how bright
the students were. It was uncomfortable for me to speak,
because I spoke differently. I
also dressed differently and
felt out of place. One day
a professor called me out
in class to answer the three
forms of government. Everyone looked at me and I felt
embarrassed that I couldn't
answer him. He thought I
was being disrespectful and
taking up space in his class
so he threw me out. I left the
classroom and was upset because I knew the answer, but
felt it didn't matter to anyone
in that class. I stood outside
the door and didn't want
to walk away from school.
I came back in and yelled
out Judicial, Executive, and
Legislative. Everyone stood
up in class and started clapping for me. The professor
apologized and had me take
a seat back in class. I then
knew that I could actually
be a college grad someday,"
Santos said.

shares his experience reference racial profiling and stereotyping," Santos' former
student Erica Dawson said.
"The students see Professor Santos as someone who
cares about them and wants
them to succeed, not just in
the classroom but out in the
world. He's a role model
that the students see as being real and someone who
is creating positive change
for our local communities,"
Santos' current student Jose
Martinez said.
"Xuan Santos has an incredible connection to students that is profound. His
gut level of experiences in
life and his reaching out
to community through his
teaching and understanding is unmatched. He sits in
many group sessions with
our students and is part of the
process of change," Director
of the Hannity Foundation in
Vista, Dwain Rogers said.
"My instruction is to connect students and understanding the difference from
people that struggle every
day. I speak on spoken word
as a means of education in
bringing in the invisible,
the voiceless, and the oppressed," Santos said.
" I'm seeking out a career in law enforcement and
have been on numerous rides
along with police officers.
Xuan Santos has the ability
to dispel the stereotype and
return respect and dignity
to a group of people whose
only violation is that they are
part of a lower socioeconomic level," Dawson said.
From my own experiences
with Professor Santos, I can
agree with Dawson and the
many others who speak so
highly of him. While I have
tried for three semesters to
take Professor Santos' course
on youth gangs, the class always fills up within a few
days. This semester was no
exception, the course becoming full before I could even
register. I 'm now realizing
that with one semester left, I
might not be able to take any
of his courses before I graduate. Is it unlucky on my part
that I can't get into his class,
or is he still messing with
me?

Local Amnesty International chapter seeks C SUSM students for help
BY KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS
COPY EDITOR
Amnesty International is
looking for CSUSM students
to join the North County
chapter. Amnesty International provides a great opportunity for criminology or
political science students as
well as students involved human rights and doing good.
Amnesty International is
an international organization
with strong goals to fight injustice and promote human
rights all across the world.
They tackle various issues
like helping those who are
political prisoners in other
countries, travelling to areas
in which there is great ine-
quality on various levels and
the issue of the death penalty
and alternatives to it. They
also address other issues that
affect the overall state of the
world, both on the f rontiines
and behind the scenes.
North County's chapter, Amnesty International
Group 471, is also working
towards the same goal.
"[Amnesty International]
is a non-partisan organization... and tries to get governments to enforce a universal declaration of human
rights," Steve Wiener, Amnesty International Group
471 member, said.
Formed about 25 years
ago, the North County chapter has grown to around 20
members that has bi-weekly
meetings, twice a month.
Wiener has noticed that the
majority of student involvement is on the high-school
level, with few, if any, college students involved. It is
uncertain as to whether this
is due to a lack of student
motivation or knowledge of
the existence of Amnesty International.
"Intrinsically, it's very rewarding. [Students] are welcome to show up for a meeting. We also do educational
events, everything from film
screenings to seminars with
famous speakers talking
about a human rights issues
in North County. I 'd encourage sociology and history
Shamrock Shindig
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Once again, it's the time of
year when the Irish spirit
can be felt all over
campus, and ASI is
more than happy to
make use of the opportunity to put on an
event in celebration.
On Thursday, March 14,
ASI plans to hold its annual
Shamrock Shindig during
U-Hour. In celebration of S t
Patrick's Day, there will be
an explosive party thrown
in front of Kellogg Library,
complete with free
food, dancing, potatoes, performers
and an appropri-
ately large amount of the
color green.
This enormous celebration of everything Irish has
proven fantastically popular with students in the
past, with over 200
students in attendance each year
for the past several events. Free food
has been one of the
major contributors to the
event's popularity.
"It's definitely a celebration you don't want to miss.
It will certainly bring out
the Irish culture,"
Sh a mr o ck
Shindig coordinator Kathleen Atienza
said.
Most exciting
about this particular "shindig"
is the feature of
dancers from the
local Rose Academy of Irish
dancers, who will be
performing traditional
Irish dances for the
gathered students. In
addition to this, they
have volunteered to give
a brief tutorial on Irish dance
for students who may want
to join in.
Overall, it is an easy and
convenient opportunity for
students to be a part of the
Irish spirit on campus while
having plenty of food and

Studying Abroad
An ideal addition t o the avid
student's college experience
BY RYAN D OWNS
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
College is meant to be a
time for students to go outside their comfort zone and
learn more about the world by
travelling to a new country.
For those who may be
interested in this, there is
CSUSM's Study Abroad
Program, the campus's proud
organizer of exchange programs between CSUSM and
foreign schools.
"Practical benefits are
many for studying abroad.
It's a resume builder, it can
give you a competitive edge
when talking to prospective
employers," Study Abroad
Coordinator Tiffany Gabbard said.
There are a variety of
programs designed to cater
towards students' desired
schedules. The most popular is the semester exchange,
which is a single semesterlong exchange to a school
in a foreign country. Other
programs can run as short as
two weeks or as long as a full
academic year.
Studying abroad is incredibly flexible and designed to
work with both the student's
time and money. Many of the
transfer schools-that students
can choose from also speak a
fair amount of English.
"There are different fee
structures in place for shorter-term programs...we try
to be aware of our student's
needs. For the semester exchange and year-long programs, you are essentially
paying the same tuition you
would here," Gabbard said.
Students who have participated in the study abroad
program have had positive
things to say and found that
they got a chance to explore
themselves and their possibilities.
"Studying abroad was one
of the highlights of my life,"
Lance Rosenberger said. "I
feel I learned and grew more
in my one year abroad than
in my whole time in college."
The process is incredibly

' Zero DarkThirty' Daylight saving time is worth our time
film vs the W orld D ST gives students hope that summer is on its way
B Y JULIANA STUMPP
BY CASSIDY HAMILTON
A & E EDITOR
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
When the historic thriller
"Zero Dark Thirty" was released in theaters on Jan.
11, Oscar buzz quickly surrounded the movie. After all,
it tells the remarkable story
about the fall of the world's
most wanted man, Osama
Bin Laden.
However, with a powerful movie about the United
States government and one
of our country's most inspiring yet haunting stories, a
storm follows about what really happened.
"Zero Dark Thirty" started
off strong by being already
nominated for multiple
awards before it was released
in theaters. However, the film
only won one Golden Globe
award for Jessica Chastain's
performance as brutally
tough and obsessive CIA
agent Maya. At the Academy Awards, the film was
nominated for five awards
but walked away with only
one for Best Achievement in
Sound Editing.
The biggest concern of the
film was the torture scenes
that may or may not have left
moviegoers under the impression that these methods
helped track the military to
Osama Bin Laden. Senators
like Johii McCain, Dianne
Feinstein and Carl Levin
complained heavily about
this issue simply stating that
the methods of torture such
as "waterboarding" did not
result in Osama's death.
Like many movies, and
even the movies that were
nominated for Oscars this
year, are heavily dramatized
for the audiences. "Zero
Dark Thirty" is no exception.
I was recently indulging
in some routine Facebook
poking around when I came
across a friend's status:
"Can we all take a moment

�The busted myths of studying abroad
BY CHRISTINA BASTIANON
CONTRIBUTOR
There are tons of concerns
regarding studying abroad
and plenty of reasons to turn
away from die opportunity,
So, as a returnee f rom a year
abroad in Florence, Italy, I
wanted to break down these
myths to show that studying
abroad is not only possible,
but also is a great opportunity for students.
The first myth I hear about
all the time is that study
abroad costs too much. This
is false. In my year abroad,
I paid the same tuition cost
as every other CSU student,
My rent was cheaper and I
lived blocks away from Piazza Santa Croce and the infamous Florentine cathedral,
I could buy most of basic
goods each week at the local swap meet while supporting the local merchants
and farmers. Best news of
all, your financial aid travels with you, making it even
more affordable.
The second myth is that
studying abroad can delay
graduation. Again, this is
false. If you plan for your
program, you will study in
your academic major and
minor abroad, often earning just as many units, if
not more, than you would
earn at CSUSM. All coursé
work taken from abroad will
receive academic credit if it
comes from an accredited institution. In your search f ora
program, choose where you
can get the best academics
for your time and be sure to
meet with a faculty advisor
to make sure your courses
correlate to the ones on campus.
The third myth deals with
the host country's language.
While it can be very nerve
racking to go into a foreign
country that speaks a different language, you will be
glad to broaden your perspective once you realize
how language informs culture.
While I was abroad, I took
language courses that helped
me adapt to my new country,
The vast majority of study
abroad options at CSUSM,
require no foreign language
fluency as coursework is offered in English. Don't let
your fears about learning a
new language keep you from
this opportunity. Chances are
your English skills will be
enough to study and travel
abroad. J
Homesickness. is the
fourth myth of studying
abroad. This differs between
each individual, but I found
that with the advancement of
technology, I was still able
to talk to my family multiple times a week. Skype,
Facebook and email helped
me fight my homesickness,
Every time I started to feel
homesick, I planned to travel
somewhere so I could send a
postcard to my family as if I
was traveling in their honor;
cheesy I know, but it worked,
Beyond this, you will have a
whole new set of priorities
and experiences abroad, so
you may be surprised that
homesickness may not strike
as often.
Lastly, myth number five
concerns safety both abroad
and traveling. Many worry
about the unknown and that
is exactly why this myth exists. Not to say that it's invalid, but we all are uncertain
about what we don't know
and it's understandable. I
definitely worried the first
time I traveled outside of
Florence. I had a complete
itinerary listing hostel numbers, airline numbers, consulate numbers, and other
emergency numbers. I was
well prepared for anything to
go wrong and what I found
was an amazing change of
culture. Everywhere I traveled I found welcoming peopie and in many cases peopie who were interested in
me and where I came from
and wanted to know about
America. The best travelers
are those who are prepared,
yet flexible and open-minded
to where their travels take

CSUSM is known by another name you may well
be aware o f, "Cal State Stair
Master," due to the hundreds
of stairs the campus has. This
athletic sense of architecture
may seem like the perfect
solution to the "freshman
fifteen" and the "sophomore
twenty" and so on. However,
while these stairs may cut off
those cookie calories, most
people don't consider those
unfortunate few whp are unable to use. this alternative
means of working out.
Take me for example. I
hate stairs. I mean I avoid
them by all means possible.
Whether it's laziness or lack
of motivation to actually get
up and move, I try to avoid
these beautiful stairs at all
cost. Boy, did my appreciation for these stairs change
when I was faced with the
challenge of being temporarily handicapped. My
only way of accessibility is
through the use of elevators
and handicap ramps, which
are inconveniently placed.
Long story short, I was in
a car accident. One week after being in the hospital and
recovering, I stuck out like a
sore thumb when I returned
to school. With a neck brace,
two huge scars on my leg
and one sexy scooter that I
drove around campus in as I
attempted to defeat the long
day ahead. My first day of
classes absolutely sucked. I
had to take an extra 20 minutes to maneuver around
campus, trying to find the
few elevators that weren't
past their safety inspection
expiration date. I got stuck
in an elevator twice, drove
around i n'circles trying to
find ramps, got trapped on
the bridge from the parking lot and had to attempt to
open doors by myself while
operating the scooter. Now
d on't get me wrong, those
nifty little buttons that open
the door for people in my
situation are great, but only
when they are working. Attempting to successfully maneuver around campus is like
solving a Rubik Cube, nearly
impossible unless you know
all the secrets.
I will say one positive thing
about being handicapped; the
Disabled Student Services
(DSS) staff on campus is absolutely outstanding at their
job and exceeded in making
me feel comfortable to come
back to campus after my accident. Anyone who needs
any type of assistance should
go to DSS. The director, John
Segoria, is awesome.
. As a person who is only
temporarily disabled, I am
very thankful that I had help
in getting around campus.
From an insider's perspective on "Cal State Stair Master," I think that the school
should attempt to become
more handicap-friendly. Just
one way the school could accomplish this is to have accessible maps to find all the
elevators on campus. The
blue handicapped push open
buttons are very helpful, and
so they should add more and
make sure they are functioning well.
All in all,4 being temporarily handicapped showed me
the other side of things, and
I hope that other people can
speak up too so some changes can be made to make it
easier for handicapped people to move around campus.

Give students a vote on Student'Success* Fee
B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ
N EWS EDITOR
In case you haven't heard,
GSUSM administration is
exploring a "Student Success
Fee," in which they are thinking of charging students a fee
designated to possibly one
or more of four categories:
course sections, advising
and career support, academic
support and student life and
recreational opportunities.
As a student, offering more
course sections and academic support seems like a fresh
breath of air, however, I do
not understand why we, the
students, should pay more to
receive these resources that
have yet to be determined.
The CSUSM website dedicated to the Student Success
Fee states, "Why a Student
Success fee?" and further
says: to help ensure students
graduate in a timely manner." This is something every
student will benefit from,
however, how will charging
us money that could« potentially go to campus recreation help me to graduate a
semester early, as the presentation states? I understand
the importance of academic
support and being involved
on campus. However since
most of us aren't able to afford the tuition and fees now,
we are all going to be too
busy working extra hours to
make rent, tuition and now
our "student success fee."
Yes, some of us get financial
aid but what about those students who don't benefit from
financial aid? Don't make us
pay another fee without asking first.
The "success" fee was first
introduced last semester and
there were two open forums
providing information on
the fee on Feb. 26 and Feb.
27, with another one slated^
March 12. In the presentation provided at the Feb 27
forum, I felt that the information highlighted only the
benefits of the success fee,
skewing the information in
favor of students. Honestly,
I feel that this "success"
fee presentation is trying to
make the students believe
that it is up to us to pay for
these resources.
The presentation also
showed that in 2013/2014, if
approved, the student "success" fee, would start at $175
a semester, then move up to
$225 a semester in 2014/15,
and then rise once more to
$275 a semester in 2015/16.
My question is why the in-
crease?
What also caught my eye
was the survey that was so
generously offered on the
website. Now, if you are a
student, faculty or administrator, you are able to complete the survey and in completing the survey, you are
asked which departments
you would allocate $100, assuming the fee is approved.
Not "do you oppose or approve the student success
fee?" When I tried filling out
the survey, I put $0 in each
of the categories and stated
my opinion iti the following forum. I was not allowed
to submit because I did not
properly distribute a $100
total: This makes me wonder
whether the forum following
the survey is even considered
since regardless if you agree
on the success fee, you must
distribute a total of $100
amongst the presented options.
If you are serious about
stating your opinion, I suggest filling out the forum
on the "Send Us Your Feedback" page, however, if you
do not agree with the fee, you
cannot properly complete the
survey, without deciding that
certain departments should
receive a certain amount of
money.
However, if you'd like to
ask administrators directly
about the fee at the open forum, you can't because those
providing the forum only
represent the administrators
and information regarding
the fee. When asked questions regarding the fee at the
Feb. 27 forum, Student Affairs spokeswomen Bridget
Blanshan announced that
debate of the fee is not welcome to multiple students. If
you want to raise your voice,
take the survey! Tell them
where you want the money
to go, even if you don't want
it to go anywhere! The survey instead should include a
choice of whether students
agree. I heard at the Feb. 27
open forum that the reason
this was not taken to a vote
(a guideline in implementing
a student fee at any CSU requires either a vote frdm the
students, a referendum or an
alternative consultation) was
because it was believed that
they would not receive proper feedback.
The CSUSM website dedicated to the Student Success Fee states, "President
Haynes determined that the
use of alternative consultation was more appropriate
than a student fee referendum. This decision was
based on the consistently low
voter turnout the campus has
experienced during ASI elections and other fee referendums held on campus."
However, I believe that
had the students been given
an opportunity to vote, they
would receive appropriate
feedback and that was proved
with the results of Proposition 30. Because proposition 30 affected money, students cared. I don't believe
the case is different with
CSUSM students. Offering
an alternative consultation
rather than a vote is a way
for CSUSM to get what they
want from students without
giving them the respect of a
voting opportunity.
Maybe this "success" fee is
important; maybe it will benefit our campus more than it
will take away from students.
However, does CSUSM believe that .proposing a "success" fee without first allowing students to vote is the
right way to do this?
For example, students are
currently charged for the
building of the Student Union. This does not infuriate
students because we know
exactly where the fee is dis-
tributed. From what students
understand about the success
fee is that it's being proposed
and administration has yet to
decide which department(s)
on campus will benefit from
this fee.
This fee was approved at
multiple CSUs. For example,
at Cal Poly Pomona, there
is information on exactly
where and how the fee will
be distributed. Their website
even offers a fee breakdown
of where the fees will be disbursed each year (csupomona.edu/~studentsuccessfee/
faq.shtml#faql). I believe if
CSUSM offered us the same
information as well as the
right to a vote, the success
fee may be approved and
even supported by students
Even the university .admits
on its website, on a page listing the pros and cons of the
success fee proposal that
without a vote "there is not
a way for students to reially
say NO to the fee." That is
a pretty big disadvantage
when you're asking students
for more money; it's taking
away the opportunity for students to have a voice.
I encourage all students
and faculty to attend the forum at U-hour, March 12 in
Arts 240.
Since 2007, the State appropriation to C SUSM has been cut by
approximately $20 million or 20 percent, while the number df

The budget reductions of the past five years have seriously

'Cariz Barkley,' a local artist w ho loves the music
BY KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS
COPY EDITOR
Carly Skeletoyer, known
as "Carlz Barkley," is a local
San Marcos musician with a
ukulele and admirable musical talent.
Growing up with music
was an integral part of her
life, with her childhoodspent being involved in choir
as well as taking vocal and
piano lessons. Eventually
moving up to perform in musicals and singing for special
events.
Skeletoyer taught herself
the ukulele, what could be
described as one of her instruments of choice, during
her stay in New York as part
of an AmeriCorps program
where she ran choir and hiphop clubs in an elementary
school in the Queensbridge
projects.
Since then, Skeletoyer has
had the opportunity to play
with a full band at venues
around San Diego and even
tour the West Coast to Seattle
and back. She has even begun working on a full-length
album of original songs.
The talented musician
describes her style as one
that carries a basic pop/folk
structure.
"But then when the band
plays 'em they end up sounding surf-y. Beach-y. Warm,"
Skeletoyer said, while going over past performances
with a full band alongside
her. "There are some R&B
and country numbers in there
too, though. I like to mix it
up."
Her lyrics could only be
described as a personification of internal thoughts.
" I'd also like to think that
it wouldn't necessarily be

noting that she herself is her

Breaking down the Red Bull Thre3style University D J competition
B Y ALISON SEAGLE
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
The bass was booming,
the lights were flashing and
the crowd was dancing and
cheering Thursday, Feb. 28
at the Typhoon Saloon in Pacific Beach for the Red Bull
Thre3style University DJ
competition.
The competitors included one student each from
UCSD, SDSU, USD, while
CSUSM had two students
representatives; Alec "T3ch-
F4LL" Pagliaro and Edric
"Reekz" Quintong,
DJ Alec "T3chF4LL" Pagliaro was selected to be. the
first performer of the night,
of which he said, " I've got to
set the bar pretty high," and
acknowledged that it was a
real "privilege and an opportunity" to get to participate at
such an event.
DJ T3chF4LL has performed on many occasions
at the Belly Up Tavern in
Solana Beach, as well as
D J'd at clubs in downtown
San Diego, Los Angeles,
and at events on the CSUSM
campus.
Pagliaro said that the "vibe
and the energy of the club,"
is what pumps him up when
he is on stage performing.
His friend and mentor, DJ
Devon Hodgan came to the
event to support Pagliaro and
listen to his interesting set
transitions.
"His set has a lot of energy
and it's an emotional roller
coaster of genres, and he
might even get you to sing
along a bit," Hodgen said.
DJ Edric "Reekz" Quintong was the fourth artist to
perform at the event. He has
previously competed in the
DJ takeover competition, as
well as at the Red Bull DJ
contest that had taken place
last semester.
Before Quintong's set, his
roommate, Bryant Force,

A & E EDITOR
For those of us graduating in the spring, the term
"crunch-time" is an understatement of how we feel. We
want to make sure that we
complete all of our assignments properly and go out
with a bang as we get ready
to close this chapter and welcome in another one.
For Cassie Chase, a visual
and performing arts major
with an emphasis in theatre,
all of her work during her
college career will be coming to an end. Her capstone
p erformance " Venus i n F u r "
will be premiered for the
public. In the play, she plays
one of the leads, Vanda Jordan, and is producing it as
well.
"Venus in Fur" tells the
story or a director, Thomas
Novachek (played by Christopher Murphy) who is in
search of a female lead f or
his adaptation of the same
titled play about the origins
of masochism in 1870. The
character Vanda Jordan is
an extremely driven, passionate, aspiring actress who
arrives late for her audition.
Thomas and Vanda read the
parts for Sverin Kushemski
and Vanda Von Dunayev, respectively. Soon they cross
the lines of actress and director and explore the boundaries of sexual tension and
power throughout.
"Vanda is eccentric and
intriguing, as she does not
divulge much about where
she comes from or who
she is," explained Chase
about her own character.
Last spring, both Chase
and Murphy were the leads
in CSUSM's "Spring Awakening" which was about a
child's tragedy and discussed
other taboo topics. They both
enjoyed the more adult relationship that is presented
in "Venus in Fur" which is
one of the reasons they were
drawn to the roles and story.
The "Venus in Fur" play
was originally written by
David Ives in 2010 and premiered on Broadway in 2011.
"My personal inspiration
for choosing such a script
was to use a small cast of
reliable people in a play that
pushed the envelopes in an
intriguing way," Chase said
• about her inspiration to have
her adaptation of the play. "I
have a preference for comedy, and this play has a dark
tone that I love. Christopher
and I were interested in the
depth, intensity and passion of these characters."
While the play may have
dramatic themes, students
will be able to relate to certain
situations and feeling that
the characters embody. "The
tension explored is familiar
tension throughout the dating
world today. Mind games,
sexual tension, unsure feelings and traipsing into inappropriate territory is touched
upon," Chase said. "On
some level, I think students
will understand the tension
felt between two people who
meet and ignite each other."
"Venus in Fur" is directed by Justin Levine as a
guest director and an artist
in the visual and performing arts department. The
play will be playing at 7
p.m. on March 8 and 9 in
Arts 111. Admission is free.

ease the mind.
"Out My Mind, Just in Time"
By Erykah Badu
This soothing track from the Neo-Soul artist, Erykah Badu,' is sure t o calm with its jazzy
feel and sweet undertones of lové and deep
emotion. Although it is lengthy at a good 10

Though it may not be raining outside, you might

H ere is a song that presents a calm and intriguing air about it from this Australian singer-songwriter that is part of the genius behind some
songs w e all know, such as " Diamonds" sung

the voices of Sia Furler and English singer Adem

"Distractions" By Zero 7
W hether o r not you focus on the lyrics, it is
a good song t o get lost in and perhaps even

That dreamy smile might just come t o a quick

SAN DIEGO ~ Former CSUSM student Matt
Weaver was charged in federal court with four counts of
fraud on Feb. 8. The FBI investigation has been ongoing
since Weaver's on-campus
arrest on March 15,2012.
According to the FBI report, Weaver was attempting
to rig the 2012 ASI elections
and win the office of president, and he stole 740 student
identifications in the scheme.
He was charged this month
with four counts of fraud
and released on $20,000 bail
pending trial.
Further research into the
case showed that Weaver had
allegedly been planning to
run for ASI office as early as
July 2011. According to the
report, he sent a request t o
ASI for the budget and salary rates for ASI student officers — who earn an annual
salary ranging from $ 1,000
to $8,000. The ASI budget is
$300,000.
FBI investigators found
a PowerPoint presentation
on Weaver's computer that
proposed that he and his Tau
Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity brothers (a fraternity
banned from CSUSM) run
on a slate to obtain five ASI
positions. The presentation
suggested that Weaver run
for president and his fraternity brothers run for vice
president positions.
According to the investigation, the method Weaver
used to fraudulently access
information and cast votes
involved plugging keylogging devices into 19 university computers in January
and February of 2012 to
obtain students' logins and
passwords. He kept the information on 740 students in
multiple Excel spreadsheets
on his computer, one of the
largest files was titled "Fu**
ASI .alpha."
Access to campus accounts
also gives access to one's account network-based university services which include
email accounts and other private information.

B Y COUGAR CHRONICLE
STAFF MEMBERS
A local Internet security
expert praised CSUSM's
detective work that brought
down an election-rigging
scheme on campus last
spring. But the case against
the ex-student charged with
the crime shows how vulnerable computers—and their
users—can be to cybercrime.
On Feb. 8, Matt Weaver
was charged in federal court
with two counts of wire
fraud, one count of access
device fraud and one count
of unauthorized access to a
computer, for allegedly attempting to rig the votes in
the ASI election in March
2012. The criminal complaint said that Weaver, who
was running for the office of
ASI president, purchased and
installed up to 15 keylogging
devices on 19 on-campus
computers in order to gather
the username and passwords
of 740 students (which he allegedly used to cast votes for
himself).
Chris Gruenwald, owner of
Bayside Networks in Sorrento Valley, described the ASI
election-hacking scheme as
"an aggressive, primitive
act" that is likely to have severe consequences if Weaver
is found guilty.
"He sounds like a young
wise guy who thinks he's the
smartest guy in the room,"
Gruenwald said, adding that
if Weaver is found guilty of
the crimes, then: "he's ruined
his life and thrown away a
good chance at an education
for something he didn't really think through."
Gruenwald described keylogger hacking as a relatively
unsophisticated form of cybercrime.

Chancellor W hite addresses C SU student concerns
B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ
NEWS EDITOR
Earlier in February, Chancellor Timothy P. White held
a press conference from his
office in Long Beach, where
students had the opportunity
to voice their questions and
concerns for future changes
in the CSU system.
On Feb. 6, many of the topics discussed were policy issues for the CSU such as the
current CSU budget, online
education (something that
White has advocated for)
and the quality of education
one expects to obtain while
attending a C SU.
Along with last f all's reimbursement of 9 percent of

Students throughout the

is one of thè many aspects
of Affordable Learning Solutions initiative, a program
beginning in 2010, that aims
in offering affordable course

as greater access to lower

CSU Rent Digital incorporated the partnership of CSU

His nose is keeping us out of danger:
Sergeant Derouin and his vivacious K-9

O PINION E DITOR
In addition to this campus
being the No. 1 safest four
year university in California
according to Stateuniversity.
com, we are also the home of
our own bomb-sniffing EOD
K-9, Vince.
Vince was brought to our
campus three years ago by
Sgt. Raymond Derouin, who
had a hunch to bring an Explosive Ordinance Detection
(EOD) K-9 on campus to
protect. students from harm.
Though Vince has not yet
encountered a real bomb,
they have been called in on
several accounts of potential
(but false) threats.
"Dogs are smart, he loves
it here, he knows the campus
very much, and especially
loves the parking structure
where he gets to play and
twice a day we go to search
the campus. He is very approachable and' friendly,"
Sgt. Derouin said.
Vince is an 88 lbs., 6-yearold field Labrador who was
a rescue from Idaho, set to
be put down, when someone had the idea to test him
for police Kr9 skills and he
passed. After discovering
him to have heart-worms , he
was almost going to be put
down again, but was successfully treated and cured of
his health threat. David Dorn
of K-9 S.T.A.C. (Specialized Training And Consultant) from San Francisco took
Vince in and trained him for
police work. Sgt. Derouin,
who has been here since
2007 (previously spent eight
years as a Riverside sheriff)
proposed to the UPD the importance of having an EOD
K-9 on a college campus.
, "I wrote the program for
Vince in 2009, Vince is our
first K -9.1 wrote out the need
for a K-9, what I articulated
in my PowerPoint was that
campuses are a target. You
have to add another level of
safety," Sgt. Derouin said.
Vince is a "passive-alert"
police dog, meaning that he
will sit down when he finds
the bomb, and gets repeated
training four to five times a
day with a sample bombsniffing exercise to keep
his nose sharp. He is also a
"single-purpose" police dog,.
meaning that his only purpose is to detect smells, not
control (military dogs).
"Everyone loves him,
he [Vince] was on TV at a
Charger's game once and
was even featured on the
front page of the North
County Times. He was even
in a competition in Modesto
County and won first place
for the fastest finding time.
We. get a fair amount of
brand recognition," Sgt. Derouin said.
Vince is most likely going
to be retiring next year due to
a bad (but attended to) case
of hip dysplasia that led to
the need of finding a smaller
car for him to get into, given
that he must jump in and out
the car many times a day.
They hope to find a replacement or two once Vince goes
into retirement.
"We don't want to run him
into the ground, we want him
to have a comfortable retire- .
ment. He isn't property; he
is more like a human to us
He has been a great asset and
everyone loves him," Sgt.
Derouin said.

Cougar baseball remains undefeated
Chapman, Bethesda both go down as team improves t o 7 - 0
B Y ALEX FRANCO
SPORTS EDITOR
The CSUSM baseball team
leaves no doubt in anyone's
mind that its mission this
season is to win a national
title.
After the Feb. 8 game vs
Chapman was delayed due
to weather, the game was
rescheduled to Monday Feb.
11. The delay wasn't enough
to stop them from exerting
their will on visiting Chapman, beating them 3-0 to
improve to 4-0 on the season.
Pitcher James Dykstra
fueled the win, pitching
seven innings of nearly flawless baseball, only allowing three hits, while striking
out nine batters and walking
none. Brandon Bentson got
the cougars ahead early and
gave Dykstra an early lead to
work with when he belted a
single to right field to bring
around Mike Guadagnini
for the score. The Cougars
would add two more runs
in the game but would only
need the one run to win, as
Dykstra, Frank Charlton and
Hunter Brown all combined
to complete the shut-out.
On Feb. 12, Chapman
would return and face the
Cougars once again and
would put forth a better fight.
Just like the first game,
Brandon Bentson got the
Cougars off to an early lead
in thefirstinning with a right
field single to bring in Tyler
Bernard.
Chapman would answer
back in the third inning with
a run of its own, to tie it up
against starting pitcher Steve
Messner. In the bottom of
the inning, Kenny Belzer
would put the Cougars up
again with a 2 RBI single up
the middle, and would add
another run in the inning to
go up 4-1. The game would
continue as a back and forth
affair as Chapman scored
3 runs of its own to tie the
game in the next two innings.
With the game tied up 5-5
in the seventh inning, Belzer
would once again come up
with runners on base and give
the Cougars the winning run.
After an error from the left
fielder, Belzer would bring
around two more scores , to
put the cougars up 7-5. The
cougars would later go on to
win 9-5 and improve to 5-0
on the season.
"5-0 is a real good start for
us, we played well the previous week against Concordia,
and took a step back after
the rain delay but important
thing is we won the game,"
Head Coach Dennis Pugh
said. "February is our month
to do well in, March and
April are going to get real
tough for us."
On Friday, Feb. 15, Bethesda came to town for a double
header and the cougars wasted no time making a statement. Six different pitchers
made CSUSM history and
combined to pitch the first
no-hitter in the programs history.
Pitchers Mike Scaramella,
Kevin Hilton, Addison Domingo, Jackson Gaskins,
Tony Guerra and Matt
Bataska all surrendered no
hits to Bethesda batters.
Not to be outdone by the
pitching staff, the offense of
the team scored an astounding 9 runs in a 9-0 win. The
Cougar offense soared thanks
to Kenny Belzer who once
again got the game started
with a first inning 2-run
home-run and ended the day
with 3 RBIs. Mike Guadagnini also contributed to the
success, going 2-3 with an
RBI and 2 runs.
The second game of the
doubleheader was more of a
pitchers duel as both offenses
struggled to bring any runs
across the plate, going 3 and
out for the majority of the
game until the sixthvand final
at bats for the cougar offense.
Tyler Bernard would score
off a passed ball on the catch-.
er to put the cougars ahead
1-0 going into the game's final frame when Frank Charlton would close the door for
the win to improve to 7-0 on
the season.
"Pitching was outstanding,
it's great to be off to a 7-0
start, these were the games
we were, losing last season,"
coach Pugh said. "Pitchers
are great at getting ahead in
the count early and the hitting will get better as the
weather gets warmer."
Due to publication time,
we were unable to report on
the Feb. 19 game vs Biola.

T HE H E A R T B EAT:
Healthy eating, is cost truly an obstacle?
B Y CURTIS BOVEE
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
A common reason why
many Americans fail to eat
healthy is because it "costs
too much."
Fortunately, healthy foods
can be as inexpensive as unhealthy foods. For a fam
ily of four to eat dinner
at McDonald's, the
total cost should they
order Big Mac meals
will be around $20 to
$25.
At the grocery store,
to feed the same family of four free range organic chicken, red peppers
and squash and a sweet potato, you're going to spend
roughly the same price, if not
less. Comparing the nutritional information per meal
at McDonald's with a soda
and fries is going to surpass
1000 calories and 50 grams
of fat. The meal at the grocery store is unquestionably
healthier, amounting to less
than 500 calories and adequate amounts of essential
vitamins and nutrients.
Although the homecooked meal is around the
same price range as McDonald's and far healthier, fast
food is always going to be
easier and arguably cheaper,
especially for under-educated individuals. Without an
understanding of how to eat
healthy, simply comparing
the cost of healthy food with
fast food and junk food is
pointless. Healthy affordable
foods include potatoes, beans
and lentils, nonfat Greek yogurt, sweet potatoes, whole
wheat pasta, canned tuna,
eggs, tofu, spinach, oats, and
frozen vegetables, among
many others.
Sadly, many people prefer fast food because of its
convenience, regardless of
associated risks. To have to
go to the grocery store and
cook dinner seems like a tedious task. Just think, when
you make that trip to the grocery store, you are burning
far more calories than sitting
in the drive-thru at McDonald's. Furthermore, numerous studies reveal that the
average family in the U.S.
spends less than an hour together per day. Importantly,
this statistic can be increased
dramatically if you plan
healthy dinners together on a
nightly basis.
If you go to the grocery
store and compare fruits
and vegetables to unhealthy
foods based on portion size,
the fruits and veggies are
lower in price overall relative to unhealthy foods. Educating yourself about portion
sizes will certainly help you
save money when eating
healthy. Buying produce that
is in-season will help tackle
these price issues.
If the cost is the
main reason people
fail to eat healthy,
their justification, is
inaccurate: according to the National
Bureau of Economic
Research, obesity raises
annual medical costs by
roughly $2,800 per person.
Even if you spent $200 more
per month to eat healthy, you
would still be saving money
by preventing obesity. In addition, recent studies have
shown that the annual cost
of obesity in thé U.S. is $190
billion, or roughly 20 percent
of total healthcare expenditures. It is no question that
cutting out fast food and junk
food will help prevent obesity-related medical expenses.
Yes, these costs of eating
unhealthy are often deferred
until later; however, this is
exactly the point. A Big-Mac
meal at McDonald's may
be cheaper initially relative
to organic whole foods, but
the costs associated with
unhealthy eating later in life
certainly aren't worth it.
The cost of unhealthy food
isn't just the price tag.

�Old California Coffee House Heroes among us: Curtis Bovee
The San Marcos Coffee house with flair Helping others with his medica) knowledge

SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Of all the distinguished
restaurants on San Marcos
Blvd., few have more personality than the Old California Coffee House.
The quaint café is tucked
away next to the IHOP and
offers some of the best atmosphere found on San Marcos's own Restaurant Row.
The Coffee House is primarily a more stylish alternative to Starbucks and any of
the other more mundane cafes in the area, According to
the website, approximately
100 different drinks are offered, including coffee, tea
and smoothies.
Coffee, depending on size,
usually goes from $1.60 for
a small and $2 for a large,
while the tea is generally
under $2 Smoothies are
around $4, and most of the
Espressos cost around $3.25.
There's also a rich selection
of food, perfect for any time
of the day, including sandwiches and wraps, hot soup,
salads and even pizza.
What truly sets The Coffee
House apart from other cafes
is the quirky atmosphere. The
interior has a sort of French

to only Literature and Writing majors and does not require students to bring work

�W hy Beyonce can get away v ith lip-syncing
BY JULIANA STUMPP
A & E EDITOR
On Jan. 22, Beyonce was
scheduled to sing the "Star
Spangled Banner" at President Obama's second term
Inauguration. However, it
was not scheduled for her
to lip-sync the anthem. It
is not confirmed the reason
why; Beyonce pre-recorded
the performance last minute.
Good news, her performance
during the Super Bowl halftime show showcased her
ultimate diva alter-ego and
why I think she i s the best
superstar of this generation.
I remember first hearing
Beyonce in the nineties with
the all-female R&B group,
'Destiny's Child' (as most
of us have) in middle school.
Honestly, I was too obsessed
with Hilary Duff (guilty) and
Lindsay Lohan (remember
when she barely could sing?)
to focus my attention to their
music. But I am proud to say
that my ear has learned to
appreciate good music. Their
album "Destiny Fulfilled" really caught my attention even
though it was the last album
the group made together, I
still followed Beyonce's solo
career (again, as most of us
did).
Since leaving 'Destiny's
Child', she has won 14
Grammy's and seven Billboard Music awards. She
has also become one of the
most influential musicians
of all time, and has now established herself as an actress most known for her
work in the film adaptation
of "Dreamgirls" and showing her goofy side in "Austin
Powers in Goldmember."
I really don't need to list of
all her accomplishments to
explain what an amazing and
talented person Beyonce is,
but it doesn't hurt to refresh
people's' minds. Her talent
doesn't just speak wonders
but her personality and charisma is what makes people
all over the world love her.
She always appears with
such class, grace and respect
for herself and those around
her. Let's not forget her show
of compassion when Kayne
West interrupted Taylor
Swift's acceptance speech
at the MTV Awards in 2009
and Beyonce called her back
up onstage to finish properly.
I don't know many artists
that would do that.
Simply put, Beyonce can
get away with lip-syncing
because we know her talent
is genuine. She sells out concert venues in minutes and
her albums sky rocket to the
top on iTunes. Honestly, it
seems this woman can do no
wrong (even by naming her
baby "Blue Ivy"). Beyonce
is just barely over thirty and
has a legacy that will last for
generations.

Editors' Topics: Working out
Given that our school provides a fully equipped and
assessable gym, we thought
it might be interesting to see
if students actually take advantage of it, think it's not
that great, or would prefer
to workout at home instead.
The Cougar Chronicle editors discuss their opinions of
an on campus gym.
Having a gym on campus
makes motivating myself
to go work out a lot easier.
Since I live at The Quad, it
is great to have such a close
proximity where I can walk
to and from: The fact that
all students have access to it
helps because my roommates
and I often go together, so it
allows for working out to be
a social thing rather than just
another chore.
Features Editor
Katlin Sweeney
I have been working out at
the Clarke gym for the past
year and love it. Not only do
I take advantage of the spinning bike and ab cruncher
machines, but I also love
the Ashtanga yoga that the
Clarke provides. I enjoy it
when it is time to go to the
Clarke to do my workout, especially because it is free. If I
were to do the same workout
out in town it would cost me
a pretty penny. Plus it's conveniently on campus for us
students to take advantage of
anytime we feel so inclined.
Opinion Editor
Jessie Gambrell
I like the Clarke because
they always have awesome
events and cool classes going on like Zumba. It's just
a nice place to go to workout with friends. I love their
treadmills too because you
can plug in your iPod and
watch Netflix or Hulu Plus
on it. Plus, its free to students! It's a great deal.

I enjoy the Clarke because
of its convenience in my daily schedule. It is open even
during my off times and has
the equipment necessary for
a good, full enough workout.
I always leave feeling accomplished and proud of my

How'You Only Live Once' term is
effecting the mind, body, soul
BY JESSIE GAMBRELL
O PINION E DITOR
Not sure if you are aware
of this popular acronym being used everywhere; YOLO
- You Only Live Once. It's
all the rage right now, which
makes sense since our society seems to have tendencies
to go out and do things that
may not be all that moral
or right.
They go out and do
these things just because they think that it
will be the only chance
they've got to live life
the way they want to.
Yes, we are only on
earth for a "short"
time, which can justify doing fun things
or taking up once-inlifetime
opportunities. However, being
that we only "live once,"
this does not mean that we
should go out and do things
that would otherwise be illegal or immoral.
And as I have already
seen, salesmen have already
started to use it against us. I
saw an ad the other day that

Even your friends can dangerously use it against you.
For example, someone could
say, "come drinking with us,
YOLO" or "YOLO, why not
smoke a joint with us?" See
what I mean? People who

According to Catholic belief, there are three places
where your soul can go after

Father Gregory Boyle is a
name that has been floating
around campus the past several weeks.
Boyle, a Jesuit Catholic
priest, is known for his dedication to the service of the
lost homeboys and homegirls
of East Los Angeles County

1992.
On Monday, Feb. 11,
Boyle came to speak to a

faculty members attended
the event to hear the inspiring stories from Father Boyle
and to learn from his compassion and humbleness.
Father Boyle spent the
night telling stories of the

to the tragic misfortune and
the touching stories of healing and retribution shown to
them by Father Boyle and his
colleagues.

Monday mornings are always a challenge, especially
during the winter. So to make these d readed mornings
a little more pleasant, this shuffle presents five tracks
that will help get over your monday-morning-blues.
" Cough Syrup" b y Young the Giant
Young the Giant is comprised of five musicians with
diverse background, all from the neighboring city of
Irvine, California, with a b and name purposely chosen
to evoke curiosity. Cough Syrup was number three in
the Top 100 Billboard Alternative Songs. Being very uplifting a nd sunny, I guarantee you will want to look up
the lyrics to sing along.
"Thrift Shop" b y Macklemore
Some might find this song vexing, but I think it's genuinely c atchy. It makes fun of those who spend too
much money on a shirt a nd e nded up dressing the
same as everyone else, among similar situations. The
quirky video is a combination of "The Fresh Prince" a nd
modern hipster, all guided by a sax sample. Macklemore has a range of tracks, some talking about
same-sex marriage a nd his struggle with addiction in
his album "The Heist."
" My Body" b y Young the Giant
There is a reason Young the Giant is listed twice, a nd
that is b ecause they are worth listening to. "My Body"
w as written a nd performed exactly for that purpose, to
j am out a nd get pumped. Some argue that Sameer
G adhia (vocalist) is talking about i ce cream, but I personally think he is referring to the Monday mornings in
which your body is immobile a nd glued to the bed.
"Ho Hey" b y The Lumineers
Although the b and left this years Grammys empty
handed, they h ave earned a spot on our iPods. It is the
first single from their trending self-titled album. This folkrock song is so genuinely refreshing that it will guarantee a smile on your f ace for the rest of the day. It has
b een featured in numerous commercials in the U.S a nd
even in the U.K.
"Drunk" b y Ed Sheeran
• The title basically says it all. It is a n anthem to remember (or not) the past weekend as you walk into your
GES or business law class with a much n eeded Starbucks drink in hand. Many know Ed Sheeran from the
chart-topping "The A Team," a nd you c an recognize
his mellow yet intoxicating v oice alongside a n at-ease

"The Master"

stumbles upon Lancaster Dodd (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman), the leader of a n organization known as
The Cause. As Quell steadily submerges himself deeper
within the group's system, his own philosophy a nd lifestyle
choices are challenged, a nd his life is forever c hanged.
"Zion" b y Hiiisong United
As the third studio album by the highly
popular Hiiisong United, "Zion" contains
the fuses the elements of modern rock
a nd contemporary Christian music to reinvent not only the modern worship music, but also recreate their sound. Such songs included in this album will

only one thing more pleasant
than a recital by a talented
and dedicated pianist, and
that is a free recital by the
very same talented and dedicated pianist. Fortunately,
CSUSM will be showcasing
the latter at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26 in Arts 111.
Last year, CSUSM's very
own music professor, Dr.
Ching-Ming Cheng, mesmerized the school with a
fantastic showcase of her
talents, backed by a life of
extensive experience in solo
and collaborative concerts all
over the globe. Her career
has also involved multiple
teaching positions at schools
across America, ultimately
leading to her incredibly
welcome arrival at CSUSM
in the fall of 2011.
The recital is one of the
many ways Dr. Cheng's
involvement at the school
goes beyond teaching; she
also has plans to develop a
complete music department,
separate from the music and
theater department.
"We want to expand, and
take this program onto a different level," Dr. Cheng said,
mentioning how few students
at the school major in instrumental music. In fact, majors
in specific instruments, such
as piano, were not previously
available until Dr. Cheng's
arrival.
"Now that they have me,
we are trying to recruit more
music majors," she said, emphasizing the focus on piano.
She hopes the set-up can
involve one-on-one instruction, so she can have a handson interaction with students
who are interested in piano
and other music.
Dr. Cheng hopes to get a
music department up and
running at the school at least
by the next semester, but she
believes the primary obstacle to this goal is the fact
that students who may be
interested may not be aware
of her efforts. She hopes the
recital can raise awareness of
what she is trying to do, and
hopefully draw students who
may be interested in becom-
ing music majors and helping to establish a department
on campus.
As for the concert itself, Dr.
Cheng enjoys playing music
from several major historical musicians in chronological order, beginning with
the seventeenth century and
moving to modern day, in a
show that will cover music
from Chopin, Beethoven,
Rachmaninoff, and Brusoni.
"He actually arranged a
piece written by Bach," she
said excitedly of Brusoni,
the most modern of the featured musicians, "so it kind
of brings it full circle."
The recital will go for
about ninety minutes, and, of
course, it is free.

"Arrested Development"
Must Watch Episode: Season 2, Episode 3: Amigos!
The most original and underrated comedy of all time,
"Arrested Development" is
a show that aired on the Fox
network for only three seasons. The show is so unique
because of the diverse and
quirky characters as well as
outrageous storylines. Jason Bateman plays Michael
Bluth, the lead character that
takes charge
of his family and their
mini mansion
company
when his father George
Mie h a el
Sr. (played
by
Jeffrey
Tambor) is
i mprisoned
for
"creative accounting." During the process of
the investigation, the rest
of the Bluths' moves into
a model home. In addition
to being the single father of
George Michael (played by
Michael Cera),
he is responsible for his
two immature
brothers Gob
(played by Will
Arnett)
and
Buster (played
by Tony Hale).
His twin sister
Lindsay
(played by Portia de Rossi)
and her family,
aspiring actor Tobias Funke
(played by David Cross) and
scandalous teenage daughter
(played by Alia Shawkat)
also take residency there. To
complete this talented cast
is Jessica Walter who plays
the vain and self obsessed
Lucille Bluth, mother of the
Bluths. Ron Howard offers
his voice as the narrator who
offers the sarcastic and witty
tone. In spring 2013, Netflix
will reboot the series with
brand new episodes.
'Take Me Home Tonight"
£ *£*£'•;/5
Set in the late '80s, the film
follows the protagonist Matt
Franklin (played by "That
70's Show" Topher Grace)
in a coming of age tale featuring similar struggles that
many of us might face after
we graduate
college. After
graduating
from MIT,
Matt moved
back home
and
works
at a movie
rental place
; in the mall to
much of his
father's dissatisfaction.
While at the
video store with his twin sister Wendy (played by Anna
Faris), Matt runs into his high
school crush Tori Frederking
(played by Teresa Palmer).
Meanwhile, Matt's best
friend Barry
(played by Dan
Fogler) is fired
from his job at
a car dealership. With Matt
and Barry being down on
their luck, the
two
friends
crash Wendy's
boyfriend's Labor Day party.
Throughout
this crazy night the group
discover themselves and are
given hope for the future. A
hilarious and encouraging
film for college students everywhere.

Support Groupsstudents helping

K aren Morones
Contributing Writer
The endeavor of acquiring an
education can be exhilarating and
fulfilling, yet it also can be stressful
and require sacrifices. We often have
to suspend other important aspects of
our lives, such as employment, relationships, and leisure activities. When
students cope with the difficulties
and share in the excitement together,
the educational pursuit can become
much easier. Support is available on
the campus of CSUSM.
Support groups bring together
people who share common concerns
and help each person to cope more
effectively. In a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere, students assist each
other with personal and educational
challenges. Through shared understanding and the exchange of ideas
with peers, students in support groups :
• experience a sense of control
over their lives
• reduce the feeling of isolation.
• obtain a better perspective on
their problems
• have the opportunity to discuss emotions
• share and reinforce positive
coping skills.
To join a CSUSM support
group, simply be there. With no fee
or obligation to attend every week,
just come when you feel the need.
Support groups meet in Room 5205,
Craven Hall in the Student Resource

University Employee/Students Pay
Lower Fees
True or false...? University
employees who are also students at
CSUSM (UES) pay full fees including tuition and other expenses.
What? You guessed incorrectly?
That's right! UESs do not pay nary
the amount of fees that full or even
part-time students pay.
How much do the UES pay,
you might ask? Well, the grand
total is $3 per semester up to six
units. Yes sir, three bucks. One
dollar is allotted for Student Unibtf
fees, one dollar is earmarked for
Health Facilities, and the last dollar
is allocated for Student Body Associated fees.
But wait...aren't the UESs
entitled toafewperks? Ofcourse,
sure, but should they be completely exempt from paying fiill
fees, especially student fees, since
after all, they are students?
The ironic part is that it is
entirely possible for the UESs to
rlin for an elected position on the
Associated Students council. This
means that the UES who pays
nominal fees, at most, is given
the responsibility of representing
full-fee-paying students.
I 'm not suggesting that the
UESs are not entitled to repre-
sentation on the A.S. council; a student is a student is a student, no matter
how great or small the monetary contribution to a c&sh-strapped system.
But a conflict arises when those
who do not contribute monetarily are
able to participate fully in the programs sponsered by the rest of the
fundingpopulace, simply because they
are students.
Perhaps the university, during
this time of financial dire straits, would
reconsider its position of favoritism
towards its employees and commit
the UESs to paying their fair share of
fees.

�CSUSM to Honor Bill Daniels at Annual
University Ball
CSUSM will honor Bill Daniels at its 7th
Annual University Ball. Widely regarded as
"the father of cable television," Daniels is
chairman of Daniels Communitcations Inc., a
diversified group of companies including
Daniels & Associates.
"Bill Daniels was selected as this y ear's
honoree because of his vision, leadership,
high ethical standards, and community service, all of which are legendary. H e is widely
respected not only f or his remarkable accomplishments in the business world but also f or
his philanthropic activities. Supportive of
higher education, Daniels funded C SUSM's
first endowed chair. Daniels represents the
ultimate aim of our university; he is an outstanding citizen of his country and community, and, in addition, he is a role model of
business acumen, fairness, and success," said
President Bill Stacy.
Over the years, Daniels has received countless awards for his civic leadership. He is
known both as an entrepreneur and a humanitarian. He served as the earliest leader of the
fledgling cable trade association, founded the
first cable brokerage company and launched
the first cable investment banking business.
He owned and operated hundreds of cable
television systems, created dozens of innovative sports programming companies, and
along the way, has devoted a sizable share of

time to the creation of new civic enterprises,
helping those less fortunate, and cultivating a
new generation of industry leaders. Daniels
is an active participant in federal and state
government and remains an outspoken advocate of America's f ree enterprise system.
In 1992, Bill was honored with a special
Emmy Award f rom the National Academy of
Television Arts and Sciences for his unparalleled record of achievement J n the development of television, and f or his humanitarian
work.
C SUSM's ball will be held at the Sheraton

Poli Sci Candidates demonstrate
teaching styles
Amy Glaspey
Staff Writer
Even candidates for faculty positions at
CSUSM have to pass a challenging test—the
teaching test.
The Political Science Department is in
the process of hiring a new faculty member to
teach in one of two categories: Political Behavior and American Politics or Public Law
and Political Theory. Before a faculty member is accepted, he or she must pass a teaching
test.
"Here at CSUSM, a faculty member's
main responsibility is teaching. We put the
candidates in an environment where we can
evaluate their teaching," said Dr. Peter Zwick,
head of the Political Science Department.
Friday, March 4th and Monday, March
7th, two candidates demonstrated their teaching styles in front of CSUSM students. Dr.
Helena Silverstein joined six students last
Friday to discuss contemporary constitutional
law issues in a seminar format. Monday, Dr.
Louis DiSipio, presented a lecture on Latino
voting patterns to a senior seminar class of
twenty.
Dr. Zwick said that putting candidates in
an actual classroom setting serves two purposes. "First we are inviting student reaction.
Second, we are watching and evaluating their
performance in that setting."
After Silverstein and DiSipio's presentations, Dr. Zwick invited students to give him
feedback on the candidates performance and
teaching style.
"Traditionally, major universities invite
top candidates to a seminar," Zwick said.
Candidates will then "make a formal presentation of their research containing lots of
data" to the decision-making committee.
Sometimes graduate students are invited to
the seminar.
The Political Science Association, a
CSUSM student organization, was actively
involved in bringing the candidates closer to
the students. In lieu of a scheduled Political
Science class Friday March 4th, the PSA
gathered together students to sit in with Dr.
Silverstein. "The PSA was really helpful in
getting people to come out and listen," Zwick
said.
These classroom presentations were the
final step in a candidate selection process that
began last fall. When the Political Science
Department obtained authorization to hire a
new faculty member the decision making
committee (Dr. Zwick, Dr. Golich and Dr.
Thompson) announced the position in a trade
publication called "American Political Science Personnel Service Newsletter."
They also "put the word out" to other
universities.
The committee continued their search in
Washington D.C. at the American Political
Science Association's meeting in September
1993.
* The APSA meeting hall was a virtual
'meat-rack* said Dr. Zwick, where candidates and universities looking for faculty met
for interviews. Dr. Zwick, Dr. Golich and Dr.
Thompson spent time at the meeting "getting
the word out and looking for a good candidate."
Applications and resumes rolled in last
fall. Over winter break the committee evaluated the applications and broke candidates
down to a short list of twenty then into a
shorter list of eleven.
"Since all eleven looked good on paper"
it was time to conduct in-depth phone interviews to further evaluate the contenders. Economics Professor Arnold joined the team.
The committee spent one-half hour on a
speaker phone with each of the eleven finalists to evaluate their "personality, interests
and how they came across verbally." These
phone sessions "added another dimension to
the selection process," said Zwick.
Financial constraints prohibited inviting
more than two candidates to visit CSUSM for
final interviews and classroom performance
tests. The Political Science Department has a
total selection budget of $2,000 to cover
airfare, food and lodging for all of the candidates combined.
Dr. Helena Silverstein is currently a professor of Government and Law at Lafayette
College in Pennsylvania. She earned her Ph.D.
at the University of Washington. Silverstein's
academic interest is "Legal Mobilization"
(using the legal process as a means of social
change).
Dr. Louis DiSipio is a p rofessor at
Wellesley College in Massachusetts. He
earned his Ph.D. at the University of Texas in
Austin. His area of expertise is elections and
political behavior.
Who will make last cuts? Silverstein or
DiSipio? Will the selection c ommittee's
choice coincide with the students' favorite ?
The word is not out yet. The final decision
will be made early this week. When the hiring
process is complete, The Pride will publish a
profile of our new political science faculty
member.

�Part 1: HPV—what is it?
Human Papillomavira virus
Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH
T T f you read this column frequently you
I might be wondering why I am writ
J L ing about another sexually transmitted disease. In reality, I have no idea how
many people actually read this column. Recently, I have written about other current
health concerns; however, the subject of this
column, Human Papillomavira Virus (HPV)
infection, has become a very common and
important health problem to the college-age
population. This will also be a first, the first
of a two part column, because HPV infection
is complex and misinformation is common.
Human papillomavira (HPV) is the virus
that causes warts. There are more than 60
types with approximately a dozen types that
can cause warts or subtle signs of infection in
the genital tract. Genital HPV is not a reportable disease so we do not have exact numbers
on how much of the population is infected. It
is estimated that between 500,000 to 1 million new cases of genital HPV occur each
year. It clearly is the fastestrisingviral STD.
Genital HPV is now thought to be more
contagious than previously. It is usually
spread through sexual contact with an infected person, although intercourse is not
necessary to spread the infection. In studies,
two thirds of those with genital warts infected
their partners. It is very likely that genital
HPV infection also can be transmitted when
warts are not present.
When viral infections are transmitted from
person to person the virus infects the top
layers of the skin and can remain inactive or
dormant for a long time. We are frequently
asked for how long? No one knows for sure
but months and may be years can go by before
signs of infection or warts appear. For most
people, warts will appear within three to six
months. Some types of HPV will result in
more visible warts than others. Types 6 and
11 will almost always result in visible warts.
Other types that may infect the cervix of
women may not produce visible warts. Currently, there is no easy test that is reliable,
cost effective, and helpful in treatment that
identifies the HPV type. HPV cannot be
grown in the laboratory and cannot be detected by a blood test.
We also know that when warts or other
signs of HPV occur, a healthy immune system may clear up the warts by itself over a
period of months or years. However, the
HPV may still remain, and recurrence of
warts is fairly common.
When HPV is present in the genital area
without visible genital warts one is considered to have "subclinical infection." It is
becoming very clear that subclinical infections are much more widespread than anyone
would have thought ten years ago. Also, as
research tools become more sensitive in detection of HPV we are finding a greater prevalence in patients with subclinical infection.
Many researchers believe that medical science is for thefirsttime identifying an infectious agent that likely has been widespread in
the population for decades.
What does it all mean? I will address that
in a column soon.
If you are concerned about this health
problem, read the next column and/or contact
your health care provider or Student Health
Services at 752-4915.

If you drive under the influence of
alcohol, or any other drug, you risk the
chance of spending the night in a cold
place. I'm not talking about the smelly
county jail. I 'm talking about that cold
slab at the county morgue. And the worst
thing is next to you could be an innocent
pedestrian, driver of the vehicle you hit,
or even a child, maybe yours! Get the
picture?
DUI, DWI, stupidity, whatever you
want to call it. If you drink alcoholic
beverages you probably have driven under the influence. In San Diego in 1992,
23 people were killed and 542 injured in
alcohol-involved crashes. The sad thing
is this could have been avoided and the
people in those numbers were in the 16 to
20 age group. More than 43 percent of all
16 to 20-year old deaths are caused by
vehicle crashes.
Nationally, enough people die in these
crashes to fill a sports arena. Does a sold
out stadium give you a good idea? We're
talking serious numbers!
Based on the current status of drunk
driving in the U.S., two out of five people
will be involved in an alcohol-related
crash at some time in their lives.
AM I DRUNK? Some people think
you have to be stumbling or falling down
to be considered intoxicated, and unable
to drive. Well we all know that's wrong,
I hope. According to the California Vehicle Code (CVC) a person cannot drive a
vehicle with a .08 percent or more, by
weight of alcohol in his or her blood, and
sometimes as low as .05 percent. This is
only for people 21 years or older. If you
are under 21 and caught with a blood
content of .01, under the new law (SB
689) as of January 1, 1994 your license
will be suspended for one year.
There is no safe way to drink and
drive. Your skills can be impaired with a
blood alcohol content (BAC) of only .02
percent (equivalent of one 12-oz. beer, a
4-oz. glass of wine, or a 1 1/4-oz. shot of
80-proof liquor).
BAC tests measure the percent of alcohol in apersons blood based upon grams
of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or
grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath.
These tests are performed by taking a
blood, breath or urine sample. The test is
your choice unless the facility cannot
perform a certain test. If you didn't already know you gave written consent for
chemical testing for alcohol or drugs on
your drivers license application or renewal form.
Did you know that 64 percent of passenger vehicle drivers who are fatally
injured between 9 PM and 6 AM have
BACs at or above .10 percent (the old
legal limit). Drivers with BACs above
.15 percent who drive on weekend nights
risk a 380 times higher chance of being
killed in a single vehicle crash than non
drinking drivers. For the average male
(170-189 lbs.) that's about 1.5 drinks an
hour. And for the average woman (110129 lbs.) you're at risk after 1 drink an
hour. And if you're tired, drink on an
empty stomach, have strong drinks, or
take other drugs including medicine, alcohol could further impair your driving
skills and judgment.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I G ET
CAUGHT? Once an officer believes
you are under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, he or she will have you perform
some field coordination tests. If the officer feels that you have failed the tests or
you refused to take them, i t's off to jail
you go. Once at the jail you are given the
chance to pick the test you want to take.
After that, you get booked, fingerprinted,
and given a nice colorful plastic bracelet.
Did I fail to mention they take all your
personal items including your shoe laces
and belts? Then you are placed in a dirty
cell with some interesting characters. Later
you have to make that embarrassing call
for someone to come and pick you up.
Plan on about five hours of time spent in
jail, and only if you are arrested for DUI
of alcohol. If you kill or injure someone
or have some other charge, plan on not
going to work for awhile.

"Louis Farrakhan is a
Problem"
Doris and Alex Padilla
Contributing Writers
So we again find ourselves battling
over racial issues. America's obsession with
race continues, and as usual, ignorance and
paranoia persist. Unfortunately, our racial
dilemma only surfaces, or is given heightened media attention in a negative context,
and only when America is forced to address
it.
"Louis Farrakhan is a problem." So
begins the cover story of the Feb. 28, 1994
issue of Time Magazine. While most can see
an agend of racist ideology in Minister
Farrakhan's views, the real question should
be, "Why is America so concerned at this
time?" Is it that we as a society are moving
towards more racial tolerance and such words
are offensive? Is it that the "political correctness" age that we so gladly subscribe to,
allowsno room for such verbiage? Or is it
that such words coming from a group like the
Nations of Islam are just too forceful?
When an organization through a charismatic leader like Farrakhan fills up the seats
of Madison Square Garden, the Los Angeles
Sports Arena and other major public entertainment venues, people take notice. When
an organized security force can combat drugs
and crime in the most crime-ridden city areas
where the local police departments are powerless, heads turn. When a group can reach
into our prisons and successfully rehabilitate
discarded individuals, something is definitely
going down.
Farrakhan certainly speaks about fact.
African Americans have been struggling for
social equality and economic independence
in America since its conception. Farrakhan
states that his goal is not to teach hate. The
main focus of his argument calls for change in
social perspective for African Americans. To
learn true "freedom" in America requires
economic control over oneself, and collective, or group control of community businesses. This is sound strategy, and to these
considerations, Farrakhan does speak for African Americans.
However, in promoting more hate and
discourse among ethnic groups, Farrakhan
does not represent the voice of most African
Americans. For African Americans to take
the hate that has been so bountifully served
upon them in America and deflect it upon
another ethnic group is counterproductive,
and we understand that. The irony continues
to be America's lack of understanding the
obvious. If hate is being promoted in the
African American community, it certainly
does not come from Farrakhan, The Nations
of Islam, or any of its members. America
only needs to look at the fabric of its societal
framework to see the seeds of this deadly
virus.
If there is a problem with Louis
Farrakhan, it rests with those organizations in
America that do not wish to see any unity or
real progress made by the African American.
Until we discover our inaccuracies in attitude
and judgment towards each other, and venture toward a change in understanding each
American, we shall continue in ignorance
and remain a flawed nation.

�Letters to the Editor
Nix to Video Games
Dear Editor:
This morning I sat in the Dome and
watched a truck back up and unload of all
things, video games. Videogames? For the
student lounge. Give me a break. Are we
really serious about our reputation in the
academic community? Do we intend to
uphold our reputation as a challenging academic campus? Not by providing vidiot
entertainment in the lounge. What is wrong
with installing a television in the lounge that
could serve to provide us with news, Discovery channel, soaps for the truly deprived or
any other manner of dubious entertainment?
Who is paying for these games? They aren't
free, and I certainly would hate to think that
any portion of my already excessive fees
were being used to provide the students with
mindless and idiotic entertainment.
If we are overly concerned with entertaining the students, why not simply devote
a portion of the computer labs to computer
games? At least students with the urge to
entertain themselves would pick up some
computer skills. I personally feel that video
games have no redeeming social value and
they do not belong on the campus of a school
that is attempting to make its mark on the
cutting edge of academia. Unless, of couse,
we are not. I do not come to school here to be
entertained. I come to get an education.
Maybe if more students were to rethink their
priorities, they might see that the games have
no place on campus.
Susan Gehrke
Student Lounge TYirned
into a Playground
Dear Editor:
The other day, I stepped into the student
lounge to read a bit before class. What I
found upon entering was a pool table, three
video games, and fewer students using the
room to study than was previously the case.
What has happened to the student lounge?
It's been turned into a playground.
If you believe, as I do, that a college
campus should primarily concern itself with
creating an atmosphere conducive to learning, then you would probably agree that this
is not the best way to use the lounge. This
campus has the advantage of having an atmosphere that centers around education and a
studentbody that is bent on academic achievement, but the arrival of these games lessens
this advantage. I've talked to several friends
on campus, and I hear much the same thing.
That is, that i t's a waste of space, and almost
embarrassing.
While I, personally, have a soft spot for a
good game of pool, I sincerely doubt that is
the best use for our lounge. And, I wouldn't
be completely honest if I said I have no
problem with video games such as Mortal
Kombat, but do we want to spend our valuable and limited space on these devices? I
would argue that we do not, and I suspect
that those students who do make use of the
lounge would agree.
What students need on campus is a place
to study in some degree of silence, that is,
without the noise of the Dome, while, at the
same time, being able to drink a cup of
coffee or have a sandwich. The study lounge
was the best place to do this, until Mortal
Combat came into the picture. Now, the
students that used this room for that purpose
are combating the noise of the Dome, or
pooling at the tables just outside of it.
The decision has been made, for now.
But we can change it by gathering 200
signatures in order to place the issue on the
spring ballot. Then, we can all be involved
in deciding how to best utilizerthe student
lounge.

Lexis/Nexis isn't Perfect Yet
-- f iii
Dear Editor:
I applaud Mr. Holmes' letter! I see that
he is as concerned as we in the library about
the computer competency requirement. We
recognize that students need extra help in
using the computer resources in the library.
Our concern led us to hire and train students
to serve as Information Assistants (see Pride
article October 22,1993). We believe that
by educating and providing assistance
through the Information Assistant Program,
students will learn to evaluate their searches
better, limit their printing to what is essential for their research, and learn to appreciate the capabilities of downloading.
We are also environmentally conscious
and unfortunately students do tend to abuse
printing so we continually encourage students to download their searches to a disk.
The library has even been selling disks at
cost to make it easier for students.
Mr. Holmes does not have all the facts
straight about Lexis/Nexis and the printing/
downloading problem. The incident recounted by Mr. Holmes is true; students
have been known to print reams of paper
from Lexis/Nexis. At the end of fall semester the library inquired about the possibility
of disablingthe printing function from Lexis.
We were told that this was not possible.
Much later and totally unrelated to our inquiries, Mead Data (producer of the database) informed us that they would no longer
support the download document feature.
However, they do allow us to record a
session onto disk. This feature captures the
entire search to be downloaded but requires

wrote the play.
Nostalgia Maldita: 1-900-Mexico explores cultural
values and identity from both sides of the US-Mexico border.
Laced with humor, satire, and compassion, the play questions
the value of pursuing another culture's ideals and dreams.
Admission is $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for
general admission. Tickets may be purchased at the
University's bookstore during normal business hours or by
calling 752-4730. Tickets may be purchased at the door onehalf hour before the play, unless it is sold out. For further
information, call the Arts and Lectures Office at 752-4945.
ACADEMY AWARDS PREVIEW

^W. "T ith the box-office success ofJurassic Park
\ J \ J and the critical success ofSchindler'sList,
T T this has been the year of Spielberg, and
there is little doubt that the upcoming Academy Awards
ceremony will do anything but put the icing on the cake.
Schindler's List has more nominations than any other film,
and Spielberg has captured all the other awards (Golden
Globe, Director's Guild) that usually serve as indicators of
Oscar performance. Also, the Academy has shunned
Spielberg for years and Schindler serves as a perfect opportunity to make up for past exclusion while at the same time
rewarding the socially conscious, epicfilmmakingOscar so
loves. It is unfortunate, though, that so many otherfilmsfar
more cinematically interesting and daring than Spielberg's
work will be shut out in the process;

The Piano) break very little new cinematic ground. Short
Cuts and Fearless were far superior to most nominated films
but not nearly as accessible. The Academy went out on a
limb last year by choosing the unsettling masterpiece
Unforgiven, but expect no such luck this year.

�FunThings to Do in San Diego County
North County Repertory Theatre
— for a change
Amy Cubbison
Contributing Writer
Are you tired of doing the same thing
every weekend—crazy clubs, mundane movies or drab dinners? Are you stuck in rut?
Why notjump off the bandwagon and sharpen
the creative side of your mind?
Solana Beach has a well-kept secret that
is slowly but surely beginning to leak out.
Tucked away in Lomas Santa Fe Plaza just
off of the Lomas Santa Fe exit is the North
County Repertory Theatre.
Believe it or not, the theatre has been
around since 1982. It was started by Olive
andTomBlakistone. The theatre is charming
and quaint and holds 185 people. Although a
non-equity theatre, the North County Rep, as
locals call it, produces professional quality
plays. The actors receive a pittance compared to other major theatres but actors vie to
be in the plays because of the high caliber
productions.
Plays range from comedies such as Neil
Simon's Biloxi Blues, to more dramatic productions such as the recentM. Butterfly. Every
play is fresh and new with an interesting flair.
Having attended numerous plays at the North
County Rep, I have never been dissappointed.
One of the funniest was a crazy comedy by
Neil Simon (a favorite of the theatre) called
Rumors. I ached from laughing so much.
There is a new play every couple of months.
Tickets are regularly priced at $16 but with a
student I.D., they are only $12.
The theatre is in a terrific location, next to
a cute coffee house that features home-baked
goodies and music. The Samurai Restaurant
and Froglanders Yogurt are also in the plaza.
And, there is plenty of parking!
- So... what does all this mean to you? Not
only does the theatre have plays, they also
offer acting lessons for adults and children.
Auditions are open to everyone and students
are often used in productions. If the idea
sounds good but you're tight on money, you
can volunteer as an usher and acquire free
tickets.
This summer the North County Rep will
be launching their new children's theatre.
Currently featured is a delightful romantic
comedy by Wendy Wasserstdp, I$n'tlt Ro-«
mantic. It is very refreshing^iist in time for
Spring. So, next time you can't think of what
to do, give the North County Repertory Theatre a try. You might find it a very pleasant
surprise.

When asked his view

stated, "I do not sup-:

student myself or as a
student representative
on the board. At the
same time, I recognize
the need to preserve

I share the views of
the California State
Student Association
on the right strategy to
approach this Jssue—
including presenting other
solutions or alternatives as
amendments."
As for Chancellor White,
he sent a clear signal of
the need for a new dialogue on rebuilding higher
education. I believe his
decision demonstrated the
type of steward he will be
of our system's resources.
The trustees selected him
because he is the ideal
candidate to represent the
CSU (students, faculty
and staff). He is the product of the California Master Plan for Higher Education and a first-generation
college student from a migrant family. Chancellor
White's deep connection
to the university community clearly influences his
leadership.

charging students per unit

Due to rumors of student protests in different
regions in California, the
board decided to postpone

incoming Chancellor Timothy P. White requested
the board reduce his salary funded by the state, by
10 percent, according to a
media release by the CSU.

considers education one
of his top, priorities for the
next four years. He seeks
to make getting a college
education more affordable, tuition cut in half by
2022, and to make America the country with the
most college graduates in
the world by 2020.
One of the ways that
Obama has worked to
achieve this is by making large investments in
Pell Grants, something
that has a huge impact
on college students. Pell
Grants, which is federal
student aid that does not
need to be repaid by the
student it is awarded to,
lead to more opportunities for students to afford
college. Since scholarship
and financial aid funds
are limited, increasing the
amount of funding given
to students gives more of
them an opportunity to afford school long enough
to get their degrees. By
getting more students
graduating from college
and educating more of
the nation's youth, this
ensures that the next gen-
eration of workers will be
qualified for better jobs,
which also boosts the nation's economy by getting
more people to work. *
Regardless of students'
political affiliations, President Obama's policies
will have a huge effect on
their lives for the next four
years, and it is extremely
important that they stay
informed on what changes
or stays the same during
his time in office.
received raises themselves, he feels the pay
cut is appropriate, saying
"Despite the passage of
Proposition 30, there-remain grave economic issues to solve in California
and the California State
University. The success
of the measure was the
voice * of the voters and
taxpayers of California to
start to reinvest in education. I also recognize that
Californians expect me
to properly steward these
resources. Consequently,
as I join the faculty, staff
and students who have
experienced cuts, salary freezes and increased
fees, I, too, must do my
part. This is the basis of
my request to reduce my
own compensation to contribute to the rebuilding
of this great university."

CSUSM enacts t emporar y r estrictio n on unit enrollment
BY JESSIE GAMBRELL
G o-A& E EDITOR
I n an effort to allow
every student to register
for the appropriate classes
and due to an increased
demand for enrollment,
CSUSM is implementing
a new "first pass" unit cap.
With the spring 2013 semester's priority registration opening Nov. 15 and
running through Dec. 7,
students will only be able
to register for a max of 13
units and be waitlisted for
no more than 8. Although
CSUSM Views students
taking 6.1 or more units as
full time, the 13 unit cap
was put in place to allow
students to carry at least
the 12 required units for
financial aid purposes.
"CSUSM is sometimes
referred to as a 'hot campus' now, so we had to
enact a restriction to allow everyone to have an
opportunity to sign up
for classes. Although we
have been seeing that the
average of units per student has been 12.3. We are
hoping this helps the 'bottlenecks' that occur during
class registration," Associate Vice President For
Planning and Academic
Resources, Dr. Graham
Oberem said.
« gg¡. s s a
0
$10.00 off
According to a studentwide email from the Office of the Registar, the 13
registered and 8 waitlisted
"first pass"unit cap will be
lifted on Dec .17, allowing
students to then register
for.up to 17 units.
CSUSM is not the only
CSU campus that has
made this restriction this ,
semester. CSU Northridge
(CSUN) and CSU Long
Beach (CSULB) have also
enacted this restriction to
help curb the overflow
of student sign-ups. Both
CSUN and CSULB actually lowered their restrictions to 16 units.
In regards to the class
limit, not all students are
opposed to the new "first
pass" process put in place.
"I like it. I think it's good
because then everyone
gets their classes," student
Chelsea Power said.
According to Dr. Oberem, the only exceptions
that can be made are for
spring 2013 graduating
students, veterans and
military students who require it.
"I got to petition the unit
cap because I am a graduating senior, it didn't affect my spring schedule
after all," senior Amanda
Peace said.

BY CURTIS BOVEE
SENIOR STAFF W RITE R
The holiday season has
arrived, the time of the
year filled with endless
obstacles to healthy eating. Whether it's the abundance of Christmas parties
to attend or the never-ending baking of pies, cookies and cakes, temptation
during the holidays is inevitable.
The following are ways
to avoid overeating during
the holiday season.
-Extra time: during the
holidays, we tend to have
more free time, especially
students. Although this
time is a "break," plan to
utilize the extra time each
day to participate in some
kind of healthy activity.
Utilize this as an incentive
program—the more calories you burn, the more
you can consume without
negative repercussions.
-Portion sizes: turkey,
mashed potatoes, stuffing,
cranberry sauce, pies, etc.
The list goes on. You do
not need to create a mas-
terpiece by seeing
how much food
each plate can
fit. Instead, try
limiting, portion sizes to the,
size of your fist
or smaller. In addition, as you inevitably make your way
back to the line for your
third and fourth servings,
make a point tg take less
each time.
-Alcohol
consumption: the more you can
limit your consumption
of alcohol during the holidays, the better. Not only
is alcohol empty calories,
greater consumption will
cause you to eat more
and be hungry for longer,
a combination for uncontrollable caloric consumption.
-Moderation: just because your grandma
makes a pumpkin pie todie-for does not mean
you need to eat the entire
thing. Focus on limiting
yourself and the amount
of each food that you consume. As goes with por-
tion sizes, try just to eat
enough. Yes, there may be
4 deserts offered, but this
does not mean you have
to eat every one of them.
Leave the table feeling
satisfied, not stuffed.
During one holiday season, overeating and the
resulting weight gain will
not hurt you; however,
cumulatively it adds up
over the years and will increase the risks of obesity.
Making and sticking to a
plan this holiday season
will provide you with a
template to follow for the
rest of your life to combat
overeating during the holidays and the risks associated with it.

C SUS M basketball downs Biola 85-78 and Vanguard 85-69
BY ALEX FRANCO
SPORTS EDITOR
The CSUSM men's basketball team hosted their
first home game of the
season with a bang on
Wednesday Nov. 14, when
they took on BIOLA University in front a strong
Cougar fan base at Mira
Costa College.
The No. 20 ranked Cougars looked to improve and
keep their two-game winning streak alive against
the No. 13 BIOLA Eagles,
who entered the night's
contest undefeated. The
Cougars got off to a blazing start opening the game
to a 15 point lead over the
Eagles. BIOLA wouldn't
fold easily to the CSUSM
offensive onslaught as
the Ragles fought back to
erase the early deficit and
bring themselves within
four points late into the
first half.
With the half coming to a
close, the Cougars opened
up the lead again, thanks
largely in part to Jose Rivera, who hit a team high
four three-point shots. The
Cougars took a 42-35 lead
into halftime, a lead they
wouldn't give up for the
rest of the game.
The Eagles came within
two points of the Cougars midway through the
second half but CSUSM
would respond building
the lead back up to nine.

pulling with four with a
few minutes left in the
game.
Ali Langford's late intentional free throws
solidified the win for
CSUSM, beating BIOLA
85-78 and handing the Eagles their first loss of the
season. CSUSM improved
to 3-1 on the season and
will look to move up in
the national rankings after
their second impressive
win over a high-ranked
opponent.
Langford led the way
with a game high 27 points
and eight rebounds to
pace the Cougars offense
throughout the game. Rivera contributed 20 points
of his own, sparking the
offense when it appeared
to have slowed down hitting clutch three-pointers.
Just two days later, On
Friday Nov 16, the Cou-
gars faced off against
Vanguard University and
extended their winning
streak to four with a 85 69 victory.
After trailing by 9 in
the opening minutes of
the first half, the Cougars
were able to use a 20 - 4
run in over a seven minute
time frame to take*ta 4133 lead with a minute and
22 seconds left in the half.
Jacob Ranger, Quincy
Lawson and Hakeem
Washington were the
teams leading scores with
Ranger scoring 18 points
and both Lawson and
Washington scoring 17.

CSUSM' s ' Suspenders'
t ake Arizon a by st or m
BY MELISSA MARTINEZ
N EW S EDITOR
CSUSM's undefeated
flag football intramural
team the "Suspenders"
defeated six West Coast
teams at the Regional
Championships on Friday,
Nov. 9 held at Arizona
State University. This
marks the first ever trip
by a CSUSM team to the
National Campus Championship Series at the University of Central Florida
on Jan. 4 - 6. The Cougar
Chronicle
interviewed
team captain AJ Kirkpatrick on this glorious win..
Question: What were
the games like leading
up to the playoffs?
Answer: We started
off with two pool play
games against smaller
schools: CSU Northridge
and Fort Lewis College
(Colorado). We figured
those were good schools
to start off against, seeing
as we had no previous experience and had no idea
what to expect. We ended
up beating CSU Northridge pretty easily, and
then same against FLC.
Once we realized we had
the best point spread and
the number 1 seed in the
whole tournament, we
knew we had something
good going. That moment
was when we turned our
mindset up a level and
never looked back from
there.
Q: How did your team
practice throughout the
season?
A: We had two "gettogethers" with a couple
players at a time, before
the season, but nothing
even close to a real practice, and once the season
started we still didn't have
a full practice. We were
all just on the same page
from the beginning and
we all knew our role on
the team. Everyone just
executed every play and
it just happened to mesh
perfectly.
Top: The "Suspenders" team after their win in Arizona at the Regional Championship. Above: Team captain, AJ Kirpatrick with Regional
Championship trophy. Photos provided by AJ Kirpatrick
Q: What was your experience like in Arizona?
A: It was surprisingly
not very hot, the temperature was about 65-70
degrees with a cold wind
the whole time. It was really cool to hang out in a
different state and with
different people. Talking
to locals and other travelers about their experiences
who had no clue who we
were or where we were
from was interesting. We
loved the area and had a
blast all weekend.
Q: Can you give me
a few highlights of the
games?
A: There are so many
highlights but there are a
few that stand out. In our
first game, Marc Berry
had 4 interceptions and
basically set the tone for
the whole tournament.
There were multiple great
plays from one-handed
catches to divingflagpulls
on a fourth down goal line
stops. Oh yeah, I almost
forgot, our quarterback,
Josh Leiber, ended up being the Tournament MVP
with 34 touchdowns and 0
interceptions. /
Q: What does this
mean for your team in
Florida? Who are you
playing?
A: Our team is going to
travel to Florida and play
against the champions
from all 6 of the regional
tournaments. Those will
most likely be the toughest competition as other
local teams will be able
to buy their way into the
tournament. There will
be good teams, bad teams
and great teams, and we
see ourselves as a great
team.
- Q: Is your team nervous? Are you nervous?
A: I don't think we are
so much nervous as we
are anxious. There is always "butterflies" before
a big game or tournament,
but all we can do is go out
there and play football
like .we know how. We
don't care who they are or
where they are from. We
will go out, play our game
on every down and hope
that is enough when the
final whistle blows. After
seeing what we are capable of in the regional tournament, there is no limit to
what we can or can't do.
We will train and practice
and I guarantee we will be
ready to compete with the
best and put CSUSM on
the map. Only time will
tell. Keep an eye out for
us.

'LoveYour Body Day' inspires men and women alike
BY KATUN SWEENEY
FEATURES EDITOR
Students who were looking for a positive way to
spend their time during
U-Hour were not disappointed at "Love Your
Body Day" on Thursday,
Nov. 15.
CSUSM featured an
event that celebrated every body shape and promoted positive body image, rather than generating
the idea that there is only
one "ideal" type.
"Love Your Body Day
is an annual event that is
meant to empower women
and men. Whether they are
on a diet, without a diet,
whatever body shape, we
want to make them feel
good about themselves,
and empower them in a
positive way," Gender
Equity Educator Raihana
Siddiq said.
Multiple groups and student organizations were
involved with the "Love
Your Body Day" event,
such as Gender Equity,
Kamaiayan
Alliance,
Hope & Wellness Center, LGBTQA and North
County Health Services.

Mama Kat's brings home the

Photo by Keandre William-Chambers
Each booth was set up
with different activities for
visitors to partake in and
information for them to
learn about; ranging from
art projects to learning
about organizations that
promote positive body image on a regular basis to
Henna at a booth with the
slogan that makeup is fun,
but users are more beautiful without it.
At one particular booth,
visitors could write signs
with messages about what
they liked about their
body rather than what
they disliked, which were
then displayed to encour-
age others to be positive
as well.
"At our booth, we are
doing a Women's Studies
project to promote feminism. We want to end 'fat
talk' and instead promote
a positive body image by
letting everyone know all
bodies are beautiful," student Julia Chamale said.
While every booth had
its own theme and design,
all of them were working
towards the common goal
of making CSUSM students feel more comfortable with their bodies and
not feel insecure about
their appearance .
For those looking for
a one-stop-shop for everything breakfast, lunch
or even brunch-related,
look no further than San
Marcos' very own Mama
Kat's Restaurant and Pie
Shop.
Mama Kat's is a restaurant with a very welcoming, family-friendly environment. The moment you
walk through the doors,
you are greeted with warm
smiles and welcomes from
the wait staff. The décor,
complete with the antique
pictures and wooden objects on the walls, makes
the visitor feel as if they
are walking into their
grandmother's home for
Sunday breakfast.
When planning to eat
there, it is best to arrive
early. Mama Kat's can
get very busy, and it may
take a while for you to
be seated. Mama Kat's
offers coffee outside, so
you can have a nice, hot
cup of java as you wait
for your party to be called
and seated. But do not get
discouraged with the long,
wait because the food is
worth it.
Once you are seated,
you are greeted by some
of the friendliest servers
this side of the Mississippi. They offer to get
the table drinks, ranging
from freshly brewed coffee to ice cold milk and
fruit juices. Mama Kat's
offers a variety of breakfast foods and lunch specialties, such as American
staples like eggs, bacon,
sausage, hash, biscuits,
waffles, French toast,
pancakes, fried chicken,
hamburgers, hot dogs and
sandwiches; the list goes
on and on.
The food and desserts
are very reasonably and
affordably priced, ranging
from $6 - $13 for full entrees. Aside from the main
dishes, Mama Kat's bakes
some of the most delectable pies in town, freshly
made in-house for anyone
to enjoy by the slice or to
have a whole pie to take
home to their family.
Beware, however, when
dining at Mama Kat's with
the atmosphere, friendly
staff and delicious food
might make you feel so
much at home, you may
never want to leave.
Mama Kat's is located
at 950 West San Marcos
Blvd., and is open 6 a.m.
to 2:30 p.m. Monday Saturday, and 7 a.m. to
2:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Highly rated professor: Linda Hickman
BY KEANDRE W ILLIAM-CHAMBER S
C OP Y EDITOR
In recent months, Professor Linda Hickman was
honored with one of the
highest ratings in the nation on the RateMyProfessors website, ranking 20th
on their Top Professors for
2011-2012 list.
The website is dedicated to the student evaluation of professors they
have had and has served
as a way to determine the
best and worst professors
nationwide. The website
also uses student evaluations to rate schools.
Professor Hickman, a
business writing professor here at CSUSM, has
been teaching for over 10
years. She called the rating "fantastic," thanking
her students for the ratings
she has received.
"I take what I teach very
seriously and I do try to
provide a learning environment. I am always interested in learning taking
place," Professor Hickman said. "But there's
no reason that learning
can't take place under a
happy, positive, fun environment. Nobody would
go to school if it was all
drudgery. Life is hard, and
I want everyone to succeed."
Professor Hickman describes her class as one
that is interactive, which
gives all her students a
chance to participate and
provide input to help students see other perspectives. She notes that the
college experience is important for the student and
that it is her duty to keep
her students "safe and interested in learning," because "each individual's
future is important.
When sitting in her business writing class, it is
easy to become enthusiastic about what is being
learned. Professor Hickman's voice, both confident and caring, carries
well across the classroom.
She teaches in a style that
allows for entertaining
and informative anecdotes, adding a delightful splash of humor to the
classroom, She makes use
of real-world examples
that catch the students'
attention and hold it, but
she does not ramble. Professor Hickman presents
the class-pertinent information in a clear and concise format that makes the
information look simple
to understand, especially
while teaching complicated formats for memos and
business letters.
Perhaps one of the best
aspects of the course is
professor-class interaction. Professor Hickman is
able to keep the class's attention without even having to command it, result-

ing in high participation
and involvement in even
the low-energy informative moments. Students
are not afraid to provide
answers unprovoked and
with a clear understanding or desire to further

remain awake and attentive throughout the entire
lecture.
Congratulations is in
order for Professor Linda
Hickman on a job well
done. This class is recommended for freshmen and
sophomores

in learning about how to
write in a professional
manner in a fun and informative environment
with interesting assignments that will make the
homework much more enjoyable to complete.

I am not and will never be a blood donor.
I am a blood recipient.
The gift of blood donation has been and always
will be a huge factor in
my life. I was born with a
hereditary blood disorder
known as spherocytosis.
The disorder results in
my body rejecting and
destroying my own "red
blood cells. This poten-'
tially debilitating condition has affected many of
my family members, but
so has the gift of blood
donation. This is what inspires and motivates me
to be involved with the
blood drive at my school.
Blood donations have
helped form and unite
my family. My grandparents met when my grandmother was ill and in
need of a blood transfusion. My grandfather responded to the request for
donations to help her. My
mother wpuld not be here
without blood donations.
My life, and my sister's
life, were both saved because of blood donations.

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, it is time to roll up your sleeves
and dig your hands into some cranberries. This recipe is a Thanksgiving
classic with a twist, or should I say zest. I have been making my (almost)
famous cranberry sauce every Thanksgiving for the past five years. So I
am sharing it with you to make for your family dinner table or to take to
your friend's house this Thanksgiving.
What you'll need:
- One bag of cranberries
- One and a half cups of sugar
- Half a cup of orange, apple O cranberry juice
R
- The zest of an orange
- 3 - 5 quart pot
1.) Dump cranberries into strainer, and under water pick out any mushy or particularly blonde cranberries. 2.)
Pour the rinsed cranberries into your pot and add the sugar, juice and zest. (After zesting the orange I usually
slit a hole in it and squeeze the juice into the pot for flavor). 3.) Heat on low and let cook for about 20 minutes
until it is a deep, thick, saucy mixture. CAUTION: The cranberries pop when hot so keep an eye on them and
stir periodically. 4.) Once the cranberries have all popped, smash any left with the stirrer or pull out a potato
masher. 5.) Let cool for a bit, then pour inter serving bowl and chill overnight.
That's it! Now you have made a beautiful, decadent and quite tasteful dish for your Thanksgiving dinner table.

'Fables' and 'Fairest:' A nothe r take o n fairy tales
B Y FAITH ORCINO
CARTOONIST
T.V. shows such as:
NBC's "Grimm" and
ABC's "Once Upon A
Time" have changed the
roles of classic folklore
characters, and comic
books have their own way
of revamping the myths
and fairy tales. On Nov. 21,
the first trade paperback
of the series, "Fairest" and
issue 123 of "Fables" will
be on comic shpp shelves.
"Fairest" is a recent spinoff of Vertigo Comics'
ongoing "Fables" books.
While "Fables" deals with
a cluster of many characters from the classic stories in a modern setting,
"Fairest" focuses on the
lead female characters in
that realm. The volume
contains the first two arcs
featuring heroine, Sleeps
ing Beauty. Once again,
she wakes up after being
kissed by her true love,
but it is uncertain if this
particular person truly is
her true love or just an accident. Chronologically,
the stories take place after issue 107 of "Fables."
As f orth e latest addition
to the original storyline,
readers dive into a strange
event concerning main
characters Snow White
and the Big Bad Wolf.
Bill Willingham writes
for "Fables" and (with the
help of other staff writers)
writes "Fairest." Adam
Hughes creates the main
single-issue covers for
"Fairest" while various
artists draw the interior
pages. See what other familiar characters appear
in these series. Visit your
local comic vendor and/
or

Recent surveys sugges|
that the hiring rate for gradu-\

CSUSM seniors are still
hesitant and weary about the
prospects in the job market.
Job Outlook's 2012 survey
states that in 2012 employers
plan to hire 9.5 percent more
new graduates compared to
2011.
"Employers will continue
to be selective which means

CSUSM student turn out
for elections has been low in
prior years. Approximately
10 percent of the student
population voted in the 2011
elections, according to ASI
presidential candidate Scott

"We actually have more
applicants and candidates
running than the election in
March. My hopes are that is
a sign that the students will
still continue with their involvement," said Gallegos.
During the original March
elections, there were 22 people running in total. This
special election has 27 candidates. Gallegos said, "We
have new faces that have
stepped up as well as those
who ran in the first election."

for students including career
counseling, internship listings, access to recruitment

Q: How do you feel about

Mayor of San Marcos, Jim
Desmond, visited CSUSM
on April 25 as a part of Dr.
Staci Beavers State Politics
(PSCI) course. During his
visit, he informed students
about the inner-workings of
local politics in the City of
San Marcos and discussed
city involvement in current and upcoming developments.
Mayor Desmond was elected to his position in 2006 and
re-elected in 2010. The mayor stated he makes $15,000
per year and serves on the
City Council. As of April 24,
the City Council has hired
a city manager, starting on
June 4, 2012. Both Mayor
Desmond and the city manager will be spearheading
upcoming
developments
near CSUSM.
"Who's my b oss? " asked
Mayor Desmond. "You are,
the voters."
Improvements to Interstate 78 are being worked
on as a coalition between
San Marcos, Escondido, and
Cal-Trans, The San Marcos
Creek District is planned a s .
redevelopment into a downtown, just beyond Discovery
Street and Craven Road.
Funding for these projects
rely on the city's sales tax
and rental revenues, which
are fairly stable.
Sunny from 1.
With the unemployment
rates close to ten percent, it
is now a necessity to search
for a job before graduation
comes around. Before, students would just wait till after their commencement to
look for a job.
"I was originally going to
become a teacher, but my
sister got her credential and
had no job prospects, so she
advised me to change my
major. So I went into cosmetology and am going to work
at a salon," graduating senior
Cabria Camp said.
"I'm relying on moving up
in my job now, maybe get an
internship. I think that it is
kind of what you have to do
these days," senior Brooke
San Marcos Mayor, Jim Desmond, on the
CSUSM campus discussing Interstate 78
and- the upcoming community planned
around the The Quad student housing.
Photo by Amira El-Khaouli.
Several students have
raised concerns about rental
rates at The Quad, the new
university housing on Barham Drive. The Quad is a
city projeqt, part of the creation of a University District.
The entire project will feature university friendly businesses, places to hang out
and more pedestrian-friendly
streets.
The goal is that "you can
live there," stated Desmond
in reference to both the
University District and the
downtown Creek District.
"You don't have to be as dependent on cars. Our worst
problem is the traffic issue."
Miller said.
According to Campuscareercenter.com, the key to
a successful and profitable
career search is research and
networking. Meet with influential people, get the right
information, and get good
leads. Ask yourself what
you would really like to do
and see yourself doing. Find
contacts in the area that you
would like to work. Get help
from people with 'influence'.
"I am very excited (about
graduating), but I think I am
more excited about being an
alum and coming back to
the CoB A program and give
back what they gave to me,"
graduating senior Jessica
Kates said.
Q: Your opponent, Scott
Silviera, is an advocate for
the Civility campaign. How
do you feel about the proposal the campaign hopes
to present?
A: I feel that the Civility
Campaign is very good for
the campus community because it gives students the
opportunity to come together
and advocate for each other.
Q: I understand you
are an advocate for the
Pride and Women's Centers, what changes (if any)
would you want to make
regarding the civility campaign on campus?
A: I would add the mission
and core values of both the
Women's Center and LGBTQA Pride Center to the
values of the Civility Campaign to further create a safe,

In the article, "Candidate reveals other

the university suspected someone had

gain interest in softball?
A: I have been swinging a
bat since I was three, and I
have always been very competitive. My dad is *a sport

I was very young. Softball
arid sports in general are
something I love to do. I enjoy playing them, and sports
allow me to express my life
frustration in a positive way
doing something I truly love
to do.
Q: How long have you
been playing?
A: I started playing softball
at age 8 or but prior to that,
I played baseball and made
the switch to softball because

Sleep is a topic overlooked
and is often compromised to
complete unfinished tasks
and engage in unnecessary
activities.
A survey conducted by the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) states
that one-third of adults in the
United States report getting
inadequate amounts of sleep.
* The college population is
even more effected by sleep
deprivation, as portrayed in a
study at the University of St.
Thomas in Minnesota.
The study, which can be
found online in the "Journal
of Adolescent Health", reported that 70 percent of college students fail to get eight
hours of sleep per night.
Eight hours of sleep per
night is recommended for
adults and college students,
as reported by the CDC. This
recommendation increases
when your brain is utilized
more often; however, this
suggestion rarely becomes
reality.
During finals week, sleep
becomes more important;
however, sleep deprivation
is more common during this
period. Of the 1,125 students in the study, 20 percent
pulled all-nighters at least
once a week to keep up with
academic tasks.
Sleep deprivation presents
an abundance of problems.

STAFF W RI TER
The NBA playoffs are set
and are in full effect. After a
long, tumultuous labor disagreement to begin the season, the playoffs are finally
here with 16 teams taking
aim at the grandest prize in
the league.
In the western conference,
the number one seeded San
Antonio Spurs
began their run
to the finals with
a 106-91 victory
over
number
eight seed, Utah
Jazz. The number two seed in
the western conference belongs
to scoring champion Kevin
Durant and the Oklahoma
City Thunder, as they take on
the defending champion Dallas Mavericks. The Thunder
narrowly escaped the Mavs
on Saturday as Kevin Durant's last second heroics
propelled them to victory.
The Los Angeles Lakers
are the number three seed
and defeated the sixth seeded
Nuggets behind Andrew Bynum's record 10 blocks to
take a 1-0 series lead. Another Los Angeles team made
history this weekend when
the fifth seed Clippers erased
a 27 point deficit in a comeback for the ages to defeat
the fourth seeded Memphis
Grizzlies.
The Eastern Conference
side of the playoffs saw just
as much excitement and controversy as the West did. It
began with the number one
seeded Chicago Bulls beating the eight seeded 76ers
but ultimately losing something more valuable than
the game, when reigning
MVP Derrick Rose tore his
ACL late in game one ending the postseason for him.
Fourth seeded
Boston
Celtics were never
able to catch the
fifth seed Atlanta
Hawks v as they
were defeated
74-83.
The sixth seeded Orlando
Magic upset the three seeded
Indiana Pacers, surprisingly
defeated them 81-77 without
star player Dwight Howard
on the court as he is still out
with injury. Finally, LeBron
James and the Miami Heat
look to return to the finals
like they did in 2011 with
hopes of a different result
than what they were given
that year. They defeated the
New York Knicks, handedly
in a 100-67 rout with LeBron powering them with 32
points.

Last month, the Pride

"Gaypril," celebrating the
LGBTQ community with
daily activities held either in
the center or on campus to
expand support and welcome
students to daily events and
educational programs.
Since the first Pride Parade
held in New York in 1969,
the parade has traveled all
over the country, allowing
members of the LGBTQ
community and allies to exhibit their support. The annual parade is held in numerous regions to demonstrate.
the necessity of fundamental
human rights being extended
to individuals who identify
as LGBTQ.
CSUSM's first Pride Walk
will begin outside of the

capacity will be co.unted.
LGBTQ Pride Center director, Robert Aiello-Hauser
explained the purpose for the
campus-wide march.
"May 1 is an opportunity
for campus to live up to the
university's mission and vision and the core values" of
an inclusive community.
There are a lot of allies that
'talk,' but to visibly see individuals showing support for
students at CSUSM will say
and mean a lot to the community," Aiello-Hauser said.
He went on to say that
being an ally is important,
especially when support is
necessary to obtain human
rights, such as marrying
someone of the same sex or
demonstrating love publicly.
Showing ally-ship is much
more than promises; it is
visually demonstrating support, even when it may not

On Thursday, April 26, authors Craig Santos Perez and

readings of their respective
works for the final Community and World Literary Series event of the semester.
After being introduced by
Mark Wallace, Perez stood
before the audience and requested that everyone in
attendance boo and heckle
him, all of which he filmed
to post on his Facebook.
Before beginning his reading, Perez shared how he
moved from Guam to California when he was in high
school, and that he used poetry as a means to stay connected to his culture.
"That's why poetry's so
important to me; it kind of
connects me to home," Perez
said.

third book, was largely about

meat product, and its significance in his culture/However, Perez later revealed that
the poem consisted entirely
of found language, meaning
that none of the

CSUSM hosts first
cigarette butt cleanup
CURTI S BOVEE
STAFF W RI TER
On Friday, April 20, a group
of 41 student volunteers participated in CSUSM's first
cigarette butt cleanup, called
"Kick Butts off CSUSM."
Cigarette butts are a form
of non-biodegradable litter,
meaning that when they are
discarded, they stay around.
As a result, their presence is
seen in streets, drains, rivers,
beaches and the ocean, ultimately polluting the environment even further.
Students and faculty of the
Graduate School of Public
Health at SDSU developed
original methodology for
the cleanup event. This year
marks SDSU's 3rd annual
cigarette butt cleanup.
The event on CSUSM was
coordinated by Dr. Devan
Romero, assistant professor
of kinesiology at CSUSM,
and Vanessa Martinez, a senior kinesiology student at
CSUSM.
Each of the 41 volunteers
present collected cigarette
butts for one hour, with a
grand total of 5 38 9 cigarette
butts.
"These findings are astonishing as there is already a
group on campus that picks
up cigarette butts and other
campus litter each week and
we collected over five-thousand butts in only one hour,"
Romero said.
The purpose of the event,
according to Romero, is to:
. »Create
environmental
awareness of cigarette butt
litter as toxic waste.
•Create a partnership with

perspective.
According to the National
Institute of Health, by 2025,
an estimated 9 trillion cigarettes will be consumed
worldwide, while 1.69 billion pounds of butts will
wind up as litter worldwide
per year.
Romero hopes that her research will help to drastically
reduce these figures.
"My future research will
revolve around whether raising awareness of cigarette
butts as toxic waste and as
a detriment to the campus

behavior, ultimately reducing it. Also, whether the impact of knowing the extreme
toxicity of cigarette smoking
to our environment's health
will motivate smoking cessation in the college population," Romero said.

S TAF F W R I T E R
It's finally here - graduation, summer, freedom, and
sleeping in. No more tests,
papers, equations, "What
i f... " questions, lectures,
and stress. For those who
have developed an addiction to coffee and/or other
sources of caffeine, services
are probably available to
help wean you off the stuff.
That is, unless you were accepted into a graduate-level
program of some sorts.
For me, I had too much
fun one semester, thus I have
to take a fifth year to get
my GPA back to a competitive standing. At first, I bemoaned this fate, but I eventually came to a powerful
and deeply comforting realization - the economy is still
in the dump. Unemployment
is still high and the most economically-seund plan at this
point is to stay in school as
c ougarchron . o pinion@ g ma il .com
T H E COUGAR CHRONICLE / M A Y I , 2 0 1 2
long as one can.
Suddenly, I was ecstatic
about my fate - a fifth year
at CSUSM seemed to be a
Godsend compared to struggling to find a j o b in the real
world. Continuing on into a
Master's or even a Doctorate
program isn't too shabby of
a plan either, as it will only
grant me access to more
skills and knowledge employers will find vital once
the job market improves.
So, whilst you all "lucky"
graduates are toiling under
the weight of real world bills
and real world unemployment, I and the other "unlucky" souls will be here
toiling under the stress of
midterms, finals, caffeine
addiction, papers, late-night
study sessions, and refrigerators fully stocked with all the
ale one can stand.
Good luck to you all, and
good riddance! Now get out
of here!

A graduation speech
K YL E M .JOHNSO N
S TAF F W R I T E R
Class of 2012:
Today, I feel that I am justified in using the phrase, "We
did it!" While it is cliché and
overused, the fact is that we
have graduated from college,
and for that we can be proud
of ourselves. We did it!
"It," however, is not just
the solitary act of graduating;
"it" refers to every individual
act that it took to get to this
point.
"It" is thè incredible
amount of hours spent in
the classroom, and the even
more incredible amount of
hours invested in schoolwork conducted at home, in
the library, in between work
shifts, everywhere imaginable.
"It" refers to the struggle to
find the necessary classes in
specific time slots to fit your
schedule.
"It" refers to the tuition
increases, which took place
even after you had already
paid off your semester fees.
"It" refers to paying seemingly ludicrous amounts for
a parking permit, even on
semesters when you only
attended class two days a
week.
"It" refers to overpriced
textbooks.
"It" refers to showing up
to class, only to realize that
you didn't check your email
where your professor reported that he or she wouldn't be
coming to class.
"It" refers to showing up
to class when the professor
didn't even send out an email
to say he or she wouldn't be
in class.
"It" refers to the fact that
attending a school built on
a hill requires the ascension
up countless flights of stairs
of varying length and steepness. (However, we now possess defined, youthful calves
to show for it.)
"It" refers to the dreaded
midterms, finals and exams, for all classes, which
all seemed to conveniently
take place during the same
respective week.
But, "it" was not all bad.
"It" was that sense of accomplishment as you witnessed your Academic Requirement Report gradually
filling up, semester after semester.
"It" was feeling touched by
a professor's desire for you
to learn.
"It" was that sense of understanding gained regarding
your purpose in the classroom.
"It" was those people
you met, grew close to and
endured alongside in the
classroom . "If ' was checking
your report card to find passing grades.
"It" was learning alternate
routes through campus to
avoid those asking, "Are you
registered to vote?" (By the
way, if you're not registered,
visit sos.ca.gov)
"It" was having a professor who posted on Cougar
Courses as many excerpts
from the textbooks as they
legally could.
"It" was all of these things;
a combination of moments
that contributed towards
your feelings of stress and
anxiety, but also accomplishment; feelings of doubt and
hesitancy, but also purpose.
And here we are, with
something to show for it,
something for which we can
be proud.
At the end of my junior
year, I wrote an essay for
myself, entitled, "The Best
Years of Someone Else's
Life." It chronicled my college experience up until
that point, and questioned
the frequent claim made by
some referring to college as
the best years of their life. I
hadn't felt that and I wondered why.
Was it because I spent three
years at a community college
before transferring? Was it
because I wasn't involved
in any clubs or fraternities?
Was it because I commuted

to school? Was it because
the school itself had been
labeled a commuter school?
All these questions and more
led to my further curiosity and I summed up the essay with the conclusion that
maybe what I needed was to
get involved; meet more people, attend school functions,
anything that could contribute towards the so-called
"college experience."
At the start of my senior
year, I began writing for the
student newspaper. It was
during my run as a volunteer staff writer for the paper
that I began to feel a sense of
purpose at school. I invested
more of my time into making deadlines than I invested
in my classwork. And somehow, my grades rose significantly. I felt productive for
the first time in a really long
time.
It made me feel good about
myself by instilling within
me a step towards finding out
why people call college "the
best years of their life." I began to imagine the potential
of the experience, had I began that kind of involvement
upon first entering campus . I
imagined it would've been a
drastically different experience.
If there is anyone reading
«Ms
this who is feeling discouraged from the college life for
any reason, I can confidently
say that you can find motivation in putting yourself out
there to tackle such and similar endeavors.
Motivation is a necessary
ingredient to pursue a college
degree. Without motivation,
you have no desire. Without
desire, you have apathy or
less. And with that, you cannot accomplish much.
You can apply that same
theory to life after college.
Whether it is in graduate
school, finding a job or taking the time to explore the
world around you, you must
be motivated.
This graduation, while it
has felt like a long time coming, is just the beginning.
Now we must set out into the
dark and scary world. But it
doesn't have to be ominous
and foreboding.
As a lover of film, I tend to
reference movies frequently.
So, I 'l l leave you with this
quote said by James Dean's
character in "Rebel without a
Cause:"
"Life can be beautiful."
Set out and do your best to
make it that. In us is the ability to conquer and restore the
world.

Letter to
the Editor
The article written by
Jessie Gambrell, [Should
CSUSM take César Chavez
Day off?,] was a great
piece that should be considered thoroughly by the
leadership at Cal State
San Marcos. I, as a student, was wondering why
we don't recognize Presidents Day. I am a veteran,
and I believe that our
founding fathers, such
as George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, and
-even Abraham Lincoln,
all should be recognized
on Presidents Day. Once
again, [César] Chavez is
an inspirational activist
who should receive récognition-not overshadow
Presidents Day. This country was founded on principles, valués and courage
to break away from one
of the biggest monarchs
this world has ever seen.
CSUSM should recognize
Presidents Day for years
to come and appreciate
the freedoms that exist
today.
-Shane Schneider
Are s tudent s incidentally "
"glorifying" Kony?
K o n y 2012 signs inundate our campus
JESSI E GAMBRELL
STAFF W RITER
On April 23, chalk and
signs were put up all over
campus essentially "glorifying" Kony. "Kony 2012"
the poster says, along with
a picture of Joseph Kony, a
war-lord from central Africa.
This signs were first made
to promote the short film,
"Kony 2012" from the makers of "The Invisible Children," a different short film
documentary that shows the
cruel world of children being
abducted by Joseph Kony to
become soldiers in his army.
This film was a huge hit and
had a huge following.
"Their original documentaries were great, I just don't
know what this (Kony 2012)
does. I have heard that it is
a scam," said student, Tyler
Allred.
The documentary, "Kony
2012" depicts how the Invisible Children organization
intends to capture and get rid
of Kony. The signs and other
propaganda are a means to
raise money f o r "the cause"
of "capturing" Kony at last.
But there has been much
speculation as to where exactly all this money is going.
"I kind of think that it
[Kony 2012] is a scam. The
money, where does it go? I
don't know what is going t o
do for us catching him," said
freshman, Ryan Vaickus.
One of the three film makers of "Kony 2012," Jason
Russell, was discovered,
Thursday, March 15, oh a
street corner in downtown
San Diego, naked and having an alleged "meltdown"
in public. He was arrested
and is being treated medically for the incident. This
among other "sketchy" instances give reason to doubt
the validity of the Invisible
Children organization. But
this incident also helped the
"Invisible Children" and
"Kony 2012" videos become
more viral, since everyone
wanted to know everything
involved with the scandal.
"I heard it was the most viral video, it seems like a big
"trendy" topic. The writing
all over the school though,
definitely, made me more annoyed with it," said CSUSM
staff member, Nick.
The signs all over campus,
I believe, were at first well
intended, but now it seems to
have "over-run" the school
and that we are getting away
from the whole point that
they seem to be striving to be
making. Some of the chalk
on our school grounds even
says, "Kony - 2012. Make
him famous!" I am not sure
who wrote these or if they
are even affiliated with the
Kony 2012 team, but this I
do believe is not what they
meant to say. We do not want
to "glorify" someone who is
a mass-murderer and communist and by saying, "make
him famous" no matter how
they meant it, is glorifying
him. Uninformed students
might support who they believe to be a good person
for the sake of our misleading public media. I hope that
we can see and realize that
something has gone wrong
and we need to change this.

Students raise money to keep
art in S a n D ieg o classrooms

S TAF F W R I TE R
Instead of spending their
Friday night enjoying a movie or out with friends, the
students of VPA 380-17 attempted to keep art alive.
"It was amazing that everyone worked together and the
event turned out to be a big
success," participant Brenton
Lake said.
Starting on Friday, April
20 and ending April 21, the
CSUSM students of "Art and
Social Change" organized,
hosted and curated a student
run art show themed "Keep
Art Alive," where works of
art provided by students from
High Tech were auctioned
off to the highest bidder.
"I'm amazed with the
amount of money we raised.
I think for sure, that was our
biggest accomplishment,"
participant Tiffany Jackman
said.
By the end of the event, the
class had auctioned off all 26
student art pieces and raised
just over $800 to be donated to the CSUSM based
CenterARTES organization
which is headed by Dr. Merry1 Goldberg and supports
and encourages arts education and arts advocacy in San
Diego County schools and
communities.
The "Keep Art Alive" event had a live band, several raffles, free food and several different types of student artwork. Students and parents from High Tech High and CSUSM, San Marcos community members and even Jim Eubank, the original founder of Restaurant
Row, came out to donate and support the event. Photos by Morgan Hall.
Planning began late February with the help of Marilyn
Huerta when the CSUSM
art galley in Restaurant Row
had an open space to display
student work. After guidance
from their professor Kristen Moss, the class decided
to partner with a group of
art students from High Tech
High to display and auction off their artwork. Planning took place during the
Tuesday and Thursday class
meetings and on the Cougar
Courses forums.
"I think it was pretty ambitious of our class to plan an
art gallery event and work
with teen art students outside
of class, while still juggling
homework and [our] personal lives," participant Laura
Musgrove said.
To make sure that each
member of the class could
contribute to the event, the
students formed several different committees, which
had a select group traveling

Sandler movies such as
"Click" and "Just Go

Dratch also illustrates her
experience meeting her husband, John Wahl, after she
was ready to give up on her
dream of falling in love and
having a family.

T a p 5 movies for the
recent college graduat e
KYLE M.JOHNSON
STAFF WRITER
1 ."Reality Bites" (1994): While it is often marketed as a romantic-comedy, thisfilmfollows
aspiring documentarian Lelaina (Winona Ryder), as she seeks to make meaning of her postgraduate life with the help of her friends and roommates . With an honest plot and a great supporting cast (Ethan Hawke, Ben Stiller and Janeane Garofalo), "Reality Bites" stands as one
of the most important films of the 90s.
2."The Graduate" (1967): Considered incredibly risqué at the time of its release, this classic
stars Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate with no idea what to
do with his life. Ignoring the pressure from his parents to take his future more seriously, Benjamin spends hisfreetime having an affair with the middle-aged Mrs. Robinson, and lounging
in the pool. When Mrs. Robinson's daughter comes to town, and Benjamin is encouraged to
date her, things get more complicated than they already are.
In her autobiography, "Girl
Walks into a Bar..."author
Rachel Dratch offers an entertaining and humorous read
to enjoy during free time or
over the summer.
Many memoirs nowadays
usually include some sort of
scandal being exposed about
their childhood or a rough
time in that individual's life.
However, Dratch's book
includes universal situations such as dating and her
"midlife miracle," a recount
of her experience being pregnant at forty years old.
A regular performer on
"Saturday Night Live"
from 1999 to 2006, Dratch
played recurring characters
like "Debbie Downer" and
to High Tech High to work
with the students one-Qn-one
and give advice on student
artwork, ideas and concepts.
"Knowing that all of their
work was bought is really
going to make them feel
great and physically see the
importance of art," participant Kevin O'Neil said.
The money ràised will be
formally presented to Dr.
Goldberg before the end of
the semester.
In "Girl Walks into a
Bar..." Dratch proves that
even though her personal
life has gone through many
changes, she still is able
to entertain years after her
"SNL" days.
3."Into the Wild" (2007): This film tells the true story of Christopher McCandless, a recent
college graduate who donates his savings, abandons his car and destroys his identification before venturing out to hitchhike across the United States towards his ultimate goal of isolation
in the Alaskan wildlife, away from society. The lives he touches and the beauty he explores
contribute towards an incredible journey with a devastatingly, tragic ending.
4. "With Honors" (1994): While the graduation doesn't come until the ending, this film is a
notable one for recent college graduates. Brendan Fraser stars as Monty, a Harvard undergrad
whose thesis makes its way into the hands of local homeless man, Simon (Joe Pesci). A deal
is made: for every favor Monty performs for Simon, he can have one page of his thesis back.
What follows is a mentor-pupil relationship between the two, which promises life lessons and
profound wisdom.
5."St. Elmo's Fire" (1985): Featuring many members of the 1980s' "Brat Pack," this film
tells the story of a group bf friends who struggle with their friendships, romantic relationships
and futures following college. While the acting is at times melodramatic, the themes are sincere and the relationships are honest, providing an array of characters with which to identify.

A small jump in student enrollment along with additional campus population from the old Los Vallecitos
location has caused a shortage of parking spaces.
CSUSM sees enrollment upturn
T he student population at Cal State
San Marcos h as taken a small jump this
s emester, according to Betty J . Huff,
director of Enrollment Services.
According to Huff, t he total student
population stands at 1,961 with a full-time
enrollment ofl,400. Last fall, t he number
of total number of students topped at 1,904
with full-time enrollment at 1,301.
"It's a big jump from last year," said
Huff. "But we were hoping to have 1,500
full-time by this time." Huff said that an
unanticipated f ee i ncrease may h ave
effected t he number of students enrolling
at t he university this semester.
"I can't say exactly why, but we're
going to try and do a survey of those
students who didn't (choose to attend t he
university) and see why they didn't,'* s he
said. Huff cited t he sluggish economy in
general a s another possible reason why
t he student population wasn't higher this
spring.
Full-time enrollment figures are not
based on individual students, according to
Huff. She said that to g et t he full-time
figure, t he total number of credit units
generated must b e added up and divided
by 15. T his figure is used for funding
purposes, s he said.
T he small jump in population may not

Library officially expands services
T he Cal State San Marcos library has announced the
expansion of services since the approval of support bolts for,
and t he installation of, shelving.
Beginning Feb. 8, the library expanded services to include
reference and access to periodicals, as well as all but one of the
l ibrary's e lectronic r esource s ystems, a ccording to
announcement by Director of Library Services Marion Reid.
Connections for the remaining system, Lexis/Nexis, are still
pending.
Maps for classroom use are also now available, Reid stated.
They are located in the library circulation area just inside the
courtyard door of t he library on the third floor.
Although several services have been expanded, it will be
awhile before all of the circulating books will be available,
according to Reid, since bookshelves from the Los Vallecitos
campus are still being installed.
Reid also announced the availability of tours of the library,
which will run Feb. 22-26. Further information about the tours
can be obtained by calling 471-6494, or by referring to t he
Pioneer calendar section.
Resource room is students' connection
T he Student Resource Center has announced hours for its
resource room, located in 5205 in Craven Hall, focusing on open
hours in the evening.
According to an announcement from the center, students
who stay after the university's general office hours have no
place to go for problem solving or questions about Cal State San
Marcos. In response to such needs, according to t he release,
t he Student Resource Room of t he center is openfrom8 a.m. to
8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a m. to 5 p.m. on
Fridays.
The center is staffed by student interns and assistants, as
well as Dr. Fritz Kreisler, a part-time faculty member and a
psychologist who formerly served as director of counseling and
associate dean of students at Susquehanna University in
Pennsylvania. Kreisler will be available for students during t he
evening from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Kreisler will be available to answer questions about university
procedures, for drop-in counseling needs and for information
regarding where to go for answers to specific questions about
student life.
In addition, t he Student Resource Room contains a large
selection of information, including pamphlets on s tress
management, study skills, procrastination and wellness.
Catalogues of local agencies that provide services that students
might need are also available. Audiotapes on relaxation and
other health-related topics can also be found at the center.
According to t he announcement, Kreisler hopes to expand
evening offerings to supplement counseling services, including
peer counseling, support groups and workshops on topics of
interest to students, later this spring.
Additional information can be obtained by visiting t he
center or by calling Cathy Craig at 7524910.

Inaugural Career Fair announced
The Cai State San Marcos Career Center has announced
the start of career fairs on campus Feb. 25, according to a news
release from Director Sandy Punch.
Two fairs will be held that day as part of the CSUSM
Inaugural Career Fair, according to the statement Beginning at
11 a.m. and running to 1:30 p.m., the general career fair will
include representatives of business, industry, government and
social service agencies. The second offering, the education
career fair, will focus on multiple-subject teaching credential
positions, and will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The Career Center has several suggestions on how students
can best present themselves at the career fairs.
• Bring a resumé: especially if the student is available for
immediateemploymentorattheendofthecurrentsemester
If a student doesn't have a resumé with them, they are
advised to get a name, title and address of the employer and
send one. Slimmer employment and internship positions
should also have a resumé.
• Make a favorable impression: Students are advised to
come dressed better than school attire but not as formal as
an interview, although some students do dress in interview
attire.
• Make a personal contact: with a variety of employers.
Students are asked to be flexible, because they may
encounter last-minute cancellations, crowded conditions
and lines to talk to certain employers.
• Show enthusiasm and interest: Employers are impressed
with a positive attitude, according to the Career Center. A
good handshake and eye contact are essential, they advise.
• Be ready to ask questions: The employer representatives
are stuck behind a table. They want to talk with students, so
they should be approached with three generic questions.
Students are advised to be the initiator.
• Follow up: If a student is really interested in a company,
agency or district, students should get abusinesscard from
the recruiter and send a "thank you" note for their time and
information, according to the Career Center.
Additional information about the Inaugural Career Fair can
be obtained by calling Sandy Punch at 7524900.

Communist suspicions have no place at CSUSM
What year is this?
I ask the question because as of late, I
feel like I've gone back in time — back to
a time over 30 years ago when a man
named Sen. Joe McCarthy ruined lives
and heightened the infamous aRed Scare"
by implicating people as being communists, t hus ruining people's reputations.
What gets me most is that the situation
I have been witnessing is occurring right
here at Cal State San Marcos, in one of my
classes.
Perhaps one of the finest history professors I have ever encountered has been
facing under-the-table ridicule from a few
students who seem to imply that h e is a

Why? Because in his history class, h e

Karl Marx which says that within every
society lies the seeds of its own destruction. "So what?" you might say. These few

little if anything to do with the subject in

Needless to say, I have been shocked
by t hese occurrences, and the class at
times feels very uncomfortable because of

It is time for this country and its people

Don't misinterpret professors' actions
I perceive a tendency a mong t he
CSUSM student body to mislabel sexist
t he actions of some of our faculty. Twice
last semester I was approached by fellow
students that expressed dismay at what
they described a s sexist attitudes displayed
by professors. One professor is male, t he
other female. In each case t he complaining

I have gotten to know each of t hese

I believe insufficient thought is often given
to what exactly t he intent of a professor's

is exemplified in an editorial r un by t he

You pull up to a stoplight, eating a bag of
peanuts. A refrigeration truck rumbles to a
stop beside you, and the soles of your shoes
are killing you. On the news, you hear of a child that is saved
by a blood transfusion. What do these things have to do with
African-American History Month? They are all invention&created
by African-Americans, inventions which are just one part of a rich
history that is too often forgotten and ignored. How many Americans know that these things were contributed to American society by AfricanAmericans? Very few, with this writer included.
Dr. Edward Thompson, III, associate professor of political science and
president of the Academic Senate at C.S.U.S.M, feels that very little AfricanAmerican history is taught to the general public, and that t he month is important and necessary to educate African-Americans as, well as o thers about t he
rich history and culture.
"I think it's an opportunity for me to recognize my
heritage and feel good that society is paying some
attention to that a s well. It's also an opportunity to
counteract some of the negative images and stereotypes that developed around black Americans,"
Thompson said. "What you see in t erms of imagery of
^^^^^^
African-Americans is a simplistic sort of imagery
where African-Americans are on the T V. only if they
^^^^^^^
are playing sports or if they are singing and dancing,
or telling jokes. Certainly, the imagery that's on T.V.
is bad imagery for everyone. But if you have a little bit
of contact with African-Americans and your contact is
limited to what you see on television, then what you
s ee on television does not project a very good image."
Ricky Ausby, a Liberal Studies major in his junior year at
C.S.U.S.M, is another who feels that African-American history is not
generally taught, especially in schools.
When h e was a junior in high school, Ausby says his history class
went over only two African-American figures: Martin Luther King and
Bill Cosby. ' They didn't even mention that Bill Cosby was an educated man," Ausby said. "All they mentioned was that h e was a
comedian."
Although Ausby agrees that African-Americaa History Month
is important to both educate others and recognize often ignored
accomplishments, h e holds the view that it is a shame the month h as
to exist at all.

Thompson believes AfricanAmerican h istory should b e
h ighlighted and appreciated
throughout the year.
T o say that we're going to
single out one month, and then
forget it after that month, in a
way, is a downer," Thompson
said. "I think there should be an
equal recognition of all cultures,
and all peoples, and I don't think
that we have an equal recognition at all times."
C.S.U.S.M. s tudent Opal
Johnson, a senior majoring in
English, says that while she has
been able to learn about AfricanAmerican history, it has been
something she has had to reach
out for in order to gain knowledge of.
"There are so many achievements that have been made by
black people that aren't recognized,"Johnson said. "That's history not told."
She sees African-American
History Month as not only reaffirming black history but also as
reaffirming ancestral connection.
"It is important to know
where you camefrom,"Johnson
said. "All people should seek their
history because it will tell them
about themselves and their forefathers. If you understand your
past, then your future becomes
clearer."
Cecelia Blanks, a C.S.U.S.M.
senior majoring in Social Science
inorderto become an educational
counselor, also believes the past
holds a close relationship with
the future, and thinks this month
is helpful in revealing a past so
often hidden.
"It's a really valuable thing
for me to reflect on where I came
from and to give me vision on
where I'm going," Blanks said. "If
we don't know what our past is,
we're doomed to repeat it, from
what I've always been told."
Blanks feels education plays
a key role in prejudice, and sees
African-American History Month
as an event that can educate.
"This month could h elp
prejudice decrease," Blanks s ad.
"When people find out about another culture, they will find out

that it's similar to theirs. And
then they will cut down on those
stereotypes that have been s etup
over years, or from what somebody might have told them from
a lack of knowledge."
CSUSM and equality
And how does C.S.U.S.M.
stand up as far as educating others about African-American history, enabling those from other
cultures to pursue a college education, and being an example of a
campus that is not racist but instead, with its Mission Statement,
welcomes all cultures with open
arms? Although the university
excels in many of these areas
compared to other colleges, it,
like all institutions, is not perfect.
It seems that the university, just
as America, has a long way to go.
"I think that in terms of the
programs and t he activities, I
think the campus is doing a good
job, during the month of February," Thompson said. "But there
are proportionatelyvery few African-American students, Latino
students, (etc.), at this institution. You have a diverse faculty,
and you have a diverse curriculum. Butyou don'thave as diverse
student body, given the demographics of the North County region."
Thompson made it clear that,
while he was not saying that efforts weren't being made, h e was
not where h e would hope to be
right now. He hopes that the university can go ahead and redouble
its efforts in order to increase
diversity among the students.
Blanks is just one of the students thathas observed that there

"(The university) says they're
supposed to be representing the
under-represented, and we're totally part of t he under-represented, along with Asians, and
Native Americans, (etc.)," Blanks
said. "Why notfocus on whatyou
say you're trying to focus on?"
Ausby feels that C:S.U.S.M.
gives African-American students
an opportunity to recognize this
month, but he also thinks it's a
shame that if it's going to be done,
it has to be done by the AfricanAmerican students. "I don't think
it's justa black issue," Ausby said.
"Everyone should get involved."
Ausby would like to see the
university take more of a role in
African-American History Month.
He says that most of the activities
during this month were put on by
t he African/African-American
Student Alliance, with the exception of the play "1001 Black Inventions" and a jazz concert,
which C.S.U.S.M. sponsored.
The rest of it, Ausby said, was
mainly left in the hands of the
students, and they did most of
the work. Ausby, who helped get
the university to endorse the play,
said he would like to see the administration and President Bill
Stacy get more involved and help
out the students more, arid in that
way better acknowledge the importance of African-American
History Month.
However, Ausby thinks the
university does provide a range
of c lasses in which AfricanAmerican a chievements and
contributionscan be learned. One
example is an English class focusing on Toni Morrison, which
studies the works of the African-

Johnson feels proud to be a
student at C.S.U.S.M., and says
that the university is interested in
seeing that there is an inclusion
of black history and black endeavors throughout the campus.
Blanks believes that more of
the school and faculty need to get
involved in African-American
History Month. Right now,
Blanks says, it's mostly the African-American club doing t he
work, and without having a large
amount of money set aside they
couldn't do very much.
Blanks believes that prejudice is present in American society, and that America is stepping
farther and farther into more racism.
"I thought it would be bad
being from Texas, but when I
came to California it was much
worse here than it was there,"
Blanks said. "At least in Texas
you knew when a white person
hated you — they told y ou—but
in California, people try to cover
it up."
Blanks recounted a scene she
witnessed during spring semester registration. She says a Mexican woman was standing in the
line, and another woman said to
her, "Why don't you go back

Blanks said she was shocked; this
wasatC,S.U.S.M., in Admissions
and Records, waiting to g et
classes.
Ausby also believes that in
terms of prejudice, America is
regressing, and that this country
has a very long way to go before
equality is reached. He sees a
disparity of wealth and education
for African-Americans, as well a s
a high infant mortality rate and a
high death rate of young AfricanAmericans. Ausby feels t hat
America should fight a war on
poverty and lack of education with
as much intensity as the war was
fought in the Persian Gulf.
Blanks said that she believes
there is racism on C.S.U.S.M.'s
campus, and that a lot of it is
created by the Mission Statement
of diversity.
"A lot of people don't understand what diversity is, and they
really don't want it," Blanks explained. ''When you talk about
diversity it could mean anything.
It could mean re-entry people,
women, and the handicapped.
We're not talking about making
the white people suffer, and have
more black people come in or
more Asians, so the white people
can't have a spot."

�Campus clubs need insurance to survive
Hi, again. I hope you
enjoyed Club Days. In
know that we all did. I
hope that you found the
club exactly right for you,
and if you didn't—well,
maybe you can startyour
own.
I would talk m ore
about Club Days, but
something much more pressing
h as arisen.. Controversy continues within our not-so-hallowed
halls, once again pitting student
organization against student organization. T he disgrace is that
certain members of t he Associated Students recently decided
thatthe Inter-Club Council should
not receive any financial help
(read: insurance) from the A.S.,
but should be subsidized by the
university. T he implied remains
that t he A.S. refuses to continue
S UZANNE C LARK
paying for this insurance, and if
the university refuses to pay as
well, clubs will not be able to exist
on campus. Club insurance is t he
one item that requires the most
financial assistance for campus
organizations.
I feel that the issue of cost is a
moot one. The A.S. collects $15
from each of u s at the beginning
of the semester. They are pleading poverty since full-time enrollment is down; but full-time
students are not the only ones
paying the fee. T he numbers I
hear concerning t he A S. budget
(and mind you, these are rumors)
are approximately $80,000 per
annum.
The A.S. is supposedly dedicated to students and student
activities. I guess that dedication
does not extend to students involved in clubs. Insurance is required by law. T he clubs—many
of which can barely keep their
headsabovewater, many ofwhich
arefinanciallysupported by their
club presidents, and many of
which do not desire to charge
dues that would exclude many
people — cannot afford to pay
t his i nsurance t hemselves.
Whether the university or the A.S.
pays t he fees, clubs should not be
threatened with disbandment.
Some of t he A.S. senators and
officers obviously desire t he A.S.
to be the single student voice on

They apparentlyresentthe strong
numbers behind t he ICC and
therefore leave u s out of many
decisions, including t he exact
date of Club Days, which was
decided by a few members of the
A S. council before the fall semester ended, without consultation of t he ICC or any of its

stated that she believed that the

Health issues affect students
Health care and the health care
system are on the mind of a majority of Americans. It was a major campaign issue and our new
president has given itprominence
by appointingthefirstlady, Hilary
Rodham Clinton, to head t he
White House Task Force on National Health Care Reform.
The United States spends approximately $900 billion a year,
or 14 percent of the gross national product on health care.
Two issues that are vitally important to students will be addressed by the task force. T he
first is affordable health insurance, which we know is a problem for students. It is generally
known that only one-third of college-age students have comprehensive health insurance. Onethird have some coverage and
another one-third have no insurance at all.
T he other issue is access to
primary and preventative care
services. The college health field
has long recognized the health
problems and need for primary
and preventative health care for
students. At CSU San Marcos,
these services are provided on
campus at your Student Health
Service.
DR. J OEL G RINOLDS
I emphasize "your Student
Health Service* because we exist
to serve the needs of students. In
order to better meet t hese needs,
a Student Health Advisory Board
is being formed. T he general purpose of the Student Health Advisory Board is to promote t he
quality and delivery of health care
at the university. Most boards
take an active role in promoting
student/consumer participation
in the delivery of health services,
also.
Other roles include evaluating programs and policies, reviewing students' suggestions a s
well a s complaints, and performing student satisfaction surveys.
Some boards are very active in
relaying health information to t he
student body through presentations, surveys, flyers and participation in organizational displays
and programs.
Membership on t he board is
open to any and all CSUSM students. If you are interested contact Susan Mendes at 752-4915.

H ie Chicken Milanese is a crisp, yet

salad and then topped with t he hot basil

low end of the price trail at $12.95.
Yes, the prices are high compared to
the budget of today's college students.
Dinner entrees average $15 each with t he
high listing at $18.95. Lunches are more
reasonable at about $5 each. Take advantage of the cafe's dinner specials Monday
through Thursday.
Despite the high numbers, you definitely get what you are paying for in the
aspect of flavor and quantity, plus a little
bit more. You get rocked.
The music at Jazz by the Way keeps in
pace with the classy feel and atmosphere
of the large restaurant, yet it surpasses
that and gets down to the basis of why the
cafe is there — to play Jazz music.
The stage is respectively located at
one end of the dining hall, allowing every

are surprisingly good, with no bad seat in

an area with bar stools and tables for those

A small dance floor is provided. Be
prepared, however. The cafe prides itself
on the music performances and not the
space reserved for dancing.
Jazz can be hip. It can be hop. Jazz can
be considered upbeat with a small Dixie
band or even a smooth sensation as a big

CSUSM music professor beats to African drum
Eyi came to the United States to share
his love for music and the African drum.
As a master African drummer, he represents t he California Arts Council as an
artist in residence for the San Diego City
Schools and has found his home at Cal
State San Marcos teaching music and
dance.
a
My objective in the United States is
to teach,* Eyi explains. "I think people like
me are needed to teach about my music.*
Eyi admits h e keeps busy in his quest
of sharing his music. But every once in a
while, h e gets out and jams with some of
hisfriends.Most recently, that was at the
Jazz by the Way Cafe in San Marcos.
On the conga, Eyi gives an unusual
and not very traditional aspect to t he Jazz
band, Joy Spring. But h e feels that there
aren't too many boundaries for his instrument
"The conga is an instrument that can
be used for various types of music,* Eyi
said in between sets at the cafe. "It's the
same as the guitar. It's the same instrument, butyou canuse itfor different styles.*
Eyi's experience as a drummer comes
from his native land of Africa, where h e is
considered to be a master at his trade.
There, his music and dance is never separated.
"The master drummer speaks to the
dancer,* Eyi said. He explained that
through the performance, the dancer can
be instructed to move forward or back, to
jump and dance side to side — an unlimited number of moves—just by the beat of
the rhythm. "When you get to the point
when you can communicate with the
dancer, then you are a master drummer.*
How long has Eyi been a drummer?
"If you ask me as an African, it's very
hard to tell,* Eyi said, adding that h e has
been playing since he was a small boy.
"But if you ask me how long I've played
professionally, then it's been about 15
years.*
Eyi will soon be transferring his artist
residence to the Vista Academy of Visual
and Performing Art, a magnet school in
the Vista Unified School District Out of all
of his many jobs teaching and playing, h e
looks forward to that the m ost
"That gives me a lot of pleasure,* h e
said. "These ones are t he tomorrow....*

"We are still shooting for moving

Aztec Shops won the bid to operated the cafeteria, entitled "The Dome

"The University Store." The San Diego State University-based organization was able to outbid other groups
since both operations were included,
Shetter said. Debbie Meeker, University Store manager, said that most
other organizations could bid on one,
but not both operations.
Currently, the plans for the bookstore andcafe are being approved by
the Fire Marshal.
"There's a lot of problems getting

said once approved, it won't take that

"We are still working on that Sept.

To accommodate the move, the

The general book stock will grow,
computer services will be extended,
and a larger selection of CSUSM
imprints will be available. Meeker
said the new bookstore will be about
three times the size of the current
store at the Los Vallecitos site.
"I'm very excited about it," said
Meeker. "We'll have much more
space, plus we'll be on the new campus.
"Most people are just anxious to
get over there, including us."
The Dome Cafe will provide "real

�Keep campus
spirit alive
Thanks for allowing me to write a few
words in the first issue of the Pioneer in this,
its third year of pioneering the student voice
of CSU, San Marcos. Welcome to CSU, San
Marcos. It really "belongs" to several constituencies of owners, especially students.
We have had an incredible two years
since the first students showed up at our
"shopping center" temporary campus on Los
C .s,u.SM
m
Public campus hard to travel to for
students who rely on busing system
With the opening of the 20th campus in the
CaliforniaStateUniversity system, we expected
some minor glitches.
Students shrugged disappointingly when pay
phones didn't work. Stomachs grumbled when
food services stopped at 2 p.m. on Monday. But
we sort of expected these kinds of problems.
Within days the phones were on line and
food service hours extended. There is one major
glitch, however, that CSUSM should have
foreseen more clearly and taken great pains to
avoid.
Currently, there exists no form of Public
transportation which services the university.
I found this piece of information out last
week while my wife used the family vehicle for
work. Desperately I searched after classes for a
way to reach the North County Transit District's
bus lines so I too could fulfill my public duty and
make it to work on time.
If not for the kindness of one CSUSM student
I would have been stranded at the beautiful new
campus long after I was scheduled to clock in at
my job.
According to Student Services, North County
Transit District doesn't plan on including the
university in its bus routes until 1994.
Public accessibility through buses exists at
all other taxpayer-supported instituticmsrnNorth
County during their operating hours.
Using NCTD we can reach the Department
of Motor Vehicles, the county courthouses, city
halls for all North County cities, the local prison,
most city and county parks, the Social Security

Administration and all public schools K through
12 through Junior College.
The nearest bust stop to CSUSM rests nearly
two miles away. In order to reach that stop,
students must traverse the treacherous stretch of
Twin Oaks Valley Road bridge that crosses
Highway 78 and frequently bottlenecks with
severe traffic.
Environmentally speaking, CSUSM encourages its students to contribute to environmental decay by forcing them to drive their own
individual automobiles. In this age of environmental awareness, it should take extra efforts to
find less damaging alternatives for its students.
Since school schedules vary so drastically
between each student, finding a carpool partner
is about as difficult as finding the letter "t" in the
word "Mississippi."
All professors require that their students attend classes on a regular basis. Some even
mandate a doctor's excuse for those unable to
attend class.
By having no vein of public transportation
connecting CSUSM to the community, the old
excuse "my car broke down" becomes a valid
excuse for non-attendance.
NCTD claims that it will currently not be
able to extend its lines due to budgetary problems. Servicing CSUSM is simply not a priority
at this time.
Because NCTD is supported by taxpayer
dollars, servicing CSUSM is more than apriority,
it is a basic responsibility. CSUSM must be
publicly accessible to its investors which include
both students and the community-at-large.
I encourage all students, administration and
faculty to write NCTD a letter expressing public
transportation concerns with regard to the university.
In the meantime, CSUSM will run some
shuttles to the Los Vallecitos site. From there

Ave., a brisk walk away;
Unfortunately, these shuttles service students
only on demand and within certain hours: The
university needs to extend the shuttle to an
hourly service during the entire span of time in
which classes are being taught.
Closing the campus to all but automobile
pilots discriminates against those who cannot
afford a car or have physical disabilities preventing them from driving.
For a university which seeks to address the
concerns of the 21st century, I expected more
regard.

early like of this new university. Students
created Pioneer and the Tukut.
This year there are nearly twice as many
of you as in our first year. But the challenge
of the pioneer years belongs to you as much
as to the students who have gone before you.
There are a few things in place, but there is
much to do. You are thefirststudent to claim
the permanent campus on the Twin Oaks
Valley Road. You are the first students to
walk the halls of the Academic Complex, to
make the campus come alive with teaching
and learning. I encourage you to take your
place among your peers in these early years
of the founders of CSU, San Marcos and
continue to help it grow into a school noted
for excellence in teaching, research, and
commitment to community service, and for a
commitment to fairness and dignity of all
persons.
We're glad you're here, joining the partnership that is building California State
University, San Marcos. We take the special
pride of pioneers in welcoming you to the
permanent home of CSU, San Marcos. Please
join in that spirit and become our partners in
the building of the university.

In the spirit of re-examining the validity and
currency of our institutional soul and guide, our
Mission Statement, there is a goal that is noticeably missing and needs to be highlighted.
In its present form, the Mission Statement
described in great clarity our goalsin six paragraphs, each with these themes:
1 : Academic excellence
2: Faculty/student interaction
3s Partnership with the North San Diego

4s International perspective
5s Culture and ethnic diversity
6s Developing critical inquiry in order to
bring about change.
It gives me great pride to be working in this
setting, but it is incomplete.
What's missing is the topic of that international summit held this past June at Rio de
Janeiro. I propose the inclusion of the environment as a vital, integral and indispensable part
of our philosophy and mission.
It's notaradical idea. Thepresent form of the

The campus does indeed represent a symbol of

Many CSUSM students are under the mistaken impression that the symbolic California
Mountain Lion, which adorns virtually everything, is our official mascot In reality, the
mascot is a symbol that is to be chosen by
students in a popular vote.

Always on the

JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
"Always on the money: Las Vegas"
The advertising slogan may not always be
right for most people, but the gambling
capitol of the west coast is always something
for someone because it has a lot to offer.
Las Vegas can serve as a tourist's hub this
side of the Mississippi. You can travel to San
Francisco, Los Angeles, the Grand Canyon
and even here to San Diego. More notably,
San Diegans can travel there relatively easy.
With all it's glitter and sparkle, Las Vegas
can be a little overwhelming and confusing
sometimes. To help those who want to travel
to the strip — either for the first time of for a
return trip — here's a guide to the most
notable casinos and hotels.
Caesar's Palace
If the emperor of Rome came back today,
he would be impressed.
Caesar's Palace comes complete with five
lounges, eight restaurants, the Forum Shops
and a casino that would knock the socks off
Hermes himself. The service is great and
makes everyone feel like a god.
The Forum Shops must be seen here.
Artistically and architecturally, the avenue of
indoor stores make it seem like your walking
down Via XX Settemore in downtown Rome.
Two focal points are featured with statues of
Zeus, Aphrodite, Poseidon and Hermes. It's a
R OMAN S . KOENKS/RONEER
• The Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace
place to get lost in, both fantasy and reality.
Caesar's Palace's Forum Shops are also a
good representation of the rest of the fine
establishment One, it is not real: the gods
they featured were from Greek mythology
and not Roman; one of the shops has a
Warner Brother's theme, hardly an ancient
icon.
The other factor is that Caesar's is expensive.
Room rates range from $110 to $175 a
night Depending on the day or time of year,
rooms can fall down to $65. There's 1,518
rooms here, a smaller number than other
hotels leaving more room dedicated to fun
and games. Two room minimums on the
weekend are not always adhered to here.
Their restaurants are quite elegant and you
pay for that level of perfection. Jackets and
reservations are required at most of the eating
establishments. For their buffet, the average
price is around $10.
Don't let the prices get you down. Even if
you stay at another hotel, this palace must be
added to the trip's list If nothing else, just

ROMAN S. KOENIG/PIONEER
~
In planning my first trip to Las Vegas, I
had a lot of ideas in my head about what my
weekend vacation there would be like. I had
glorious visions of winning the multithousand-dollar jackpot at some slot machine.
After reading in the newspaper about a 21year-old college student who had done^ust
that the weekend before my excursion, I knew
I was destined to be n ext I went to Las Vegas
with a one-track mind to win. And win big.
However, instead of seeing my picture in
the local papers as the next collegiate winner
of a big jackpot, I saw my money quickly slip
away from myfingersafter accomplishing a
short-lived winning streak.
Minutes after my partner and I crossed the
Nevada border at about 7:30 a.m. on a

In addition to an unusual musical score,
"Enter the Night" uses a live orchestra

The performance is almost flawless. It
would seem that these dancers and singers
have been doing this for decades, not only a

Dance numbers, created by choreographer
Bill Guske, are so complex the Stardust had
to offer free classes to help local dancers

extra work paid off as the performers go from

drive by it and admire the resemblance of past
times with the three Roman monuments along
Las Vegas Boulevard.
Caesar's Palace is set low to the ground
and spread over a large amount of land; in
other words, prepare to do some walking once
inside.
Excalibur
The Camelot of Las Vegas stands tall at
the south entrance of the strip. Outside, it is a
mix of modern architecture and medieval
grandeur. Inside, the only thing that mixes is
fun and more fun.
More hectic and confusing than Caesar's
Palace, Excalibur is also more entertaining for
the whole family. There are more childrenoriented games (and not just the arcade) a
carnival, small-stage kids shows and even
jugglers can be found strolling around.
The jugglers are an interesting touch at
Excalibur. At every hotel and casino, the staff
is dressed according to the theme, thus adding
to the atmosphere. At Excalibur, however,
they go one step further and add costumed
people to more strongly emphasize the
medieval setting. Jugglers, comics, characters
and knights mingle in with the guests.
The architecture here is also fascinating.
Some compare it to Disneyland's Sleeping
Beauty Castle. At the Magical Kingdom, the
castle has its limits; at Excalibur, however,
there seems to be not restrictions on how far ;
the walls of Camelot will stretch. Getting lost
here is easier that in any other casino or hotel.
Excalibur is set in a restricted space, unlike

way around.
Rooms starts at $35 a night and go up.
That's a nice p ice, but Excalibur has more
than 4,000 rooms to fill. There is a two night
minimum stay for those staying over on
Saturdays.
Excalibur is accented with a show similar
to that of Medieval Times in Buena Park.
That comparison is not a criticism, but just
other reason why you see King Arthur's
Tournament ($24,95). Or for the more thrifty,
there's the Wonderful World of Horses at
$5.95 a ticket!
An adventure awaits you at Excalibur.
Mirage
Standing tall in the middle of the strip as
the road bend slightly to the east before
continuing up north, the Mirage is a unique
mixture of fantasy and fun.
Unlike the two previously mentioned
casinos or most of the other establishments or
the strip, Mirage has not defirfite theme,
although a tropical theme is most prevalent.
The Mirage uses this to its advantage because
it has not boundaries for thé imagination.

Bring on the clowns! But wait, if your not
careful, the joke may be one you. As the most
notable casinos are reviewed, this is the first
to get mixed reviews.
Circus Circus is almost totally geared to
children. There's a midway full of carnival
games and a great view of the on-going circus
acts. Circus Circus also has one of the best
breakfast buffets at $2.29 for 45 items. The
dinner is still less than $4.
But the down side of Circus Circus is its
claustrophobic building with ceilings lower
than expected and a look of an old, run down
building. It is also one of the most crowded
places on the Strip. Finding a slot machine to
Quick roundup
• Desert Inn is liberal in its games, but
lacks style and pizazz. Straight-forward
gambling here with no Mils attached.
• Stardust is one of the easiest to get
around in. Set horizontally on the strip, a
pathway travels from one end to the other,
with several offshoot, but not enough to get
lost in.
• Riviera also lacks a theme but makes up
with b ight lights and lots of dazzle. The
video poker games are a lot more liberal that
the actual tables.
• Silver City is the only place to find
dollar tables. Beginners would want to start
here before moving onto the higher tables.
Silver City is a casino only; not hotel here.
• The staff at Frontier is on strike,
dissatisfied with the cancellation of their
benefits and a cut in wages. It's easier to go
across the street or next door than it is to crosi
the picket line.
• Flamingo Hilton tops the list as the
most crowded. At Circus Circus, i t's hard to
find a place to play; At the Hilton, it's hard to
find a place to breathe. The floor layout is
cramped and the noise is overbearing.
• Is in anyone in the bottle? The Aladdin
was almost empty, with people and with
excitement. We felt unnoticed by the changers and cocktail waitresses.

PIOWEEB/WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,1992
Water parks provide wet, wild rides
During this summer's blistering
heat, Thrill Seekers sought for a
method of cooling down with the
added bonus ofa high adrenaline rush.
Our quest led us to two water parks in
Southern California that added a refreshing splash to playing on the edge.
Raging Waters, in San Dimas, and
Wild Rivers, in Irvine, boast the most
thrilling water attractions in the
southland. Both water parks abound
in water slides guaranteed to quench
even the most ardent adventurer's
thirst for excitement
Because fall and winter months
frequently reach temperatures that do
not behoove wet and wild adventures,
these two water parks are only open
until the first week of October.
In the meantime, students can
drench themselves in the thrill of
hurling down a slippery slide into a
pool of soothing water.
Overall, comparing Wild Rivers
to Raging Waters is like comparing
Knott's Berry Farm to Magic Mountain. Wild Rivers offers a more tame,
less dangerous approach to water
sports, while Raging Waters takes
more chances with high-level thrills.
Thrill Seekers rated the top slide
attractions at both water parks. In
ascending order they are:

Riders can increase their speed by

The Abyss
The latest trend in water-sliding is
the darkened tube approach. Located
at Wild Rivers, The Abyss is the better of the two parks' darkened slides.
Riders sit on inner-tubes either one,
two or three at a time, and rush down
a 650-foot expanse of black tunnel.
Each turn comes as a pleasant surprise as sliders rocket through the
pitch tunnel.
The ride is both long and surprisingly exhilarating. Though the tunnel
doesn't appear to be very steep, it
propelsridersto exceptional speeds.
Raging Waters's version of the
same ride, The Dark Hole, doesn't
quite live up to its expectations. Periodic openings in the tubes spoil the
effect of sliding in complete darkness.

Thrill Seekers recommends the side

Raging Waters's newest attraction
places six riders on one rubber raft.
The raft traverses a series of steep,
twistingbanks whichfrequentlyplace
sliders in vertical positions.
'What makes Thunder Rapids a
superior ride is the chance of taking
the plunge simultaneously with other
thrillseekers. Through clever positioning,riderscan turn the raft around
to accommodate the series of twists as

Dropout
Even the most stout of constitution
might not even attempt this menacing
plunge at Raging Waters.
Rising seven stories above the
ground, this slide represents the ultimate in thrillseeking. The slide has
shallow sides and drops straightdown
to a runway hundreds of feet below.
Riders don't even touch the slide until
after a good thirty-foot drop.
There is nothing tame or seemingly safeabout theride.Persons with
weak hearts or stomachs should not
even attempt this menacing plunge.
Thrill Seekers compares the thrill of
the drop to bungee jumping in its
adrenaline rush. Sliders (particularly
males) are advised to cross their legs
since the introduction of water in the
runway at the slide's bottom can impact the groin area.
Overall, Raging Waters offers
more thrilling rides. Unfortunately,
the most dangerous ride is the freeway trek to get there. The two-hour
drive spans some of the most dangerous freeways L.A. has to offer. Raging Waters also has an expensive price
tag of $18.95 for adults.
WildRivers is more tame but much
closer. Located only an hourfromthe
North County, drivers don't have
messy traffic to content with. The
price is $15.95, three dollars cheaper
than Raging Waters.

Moonlight moving up to the big time with 'A Chorus Line'
The opening of "A Chorus Line"
on S ept. 9 a t t he m oonlight
Amphitheatre marks the theater's
growing commitment to produce
newer shows.
For the past three season, the
Moonlight, which produces an outdoor summer season and an indoor
winter season, has introduced its audience to such shows as "Into the
Woods" and "Evita" in the summer;
and 4<Little Shop of Horrors," "Joseph
and the A mazing T echnicolor
Dreamcoat" and "Les Dangereuses"
in the winter.
The mixing of newer shows with
older fare has proven to be a successful recipe for die theater. Attendance
records have been broken whenever a
newer show is produced, and response
from critics has been positive.
The venture of producing newer
shows has also drawn an overwhelming response from performers. Each
year, the number of actors seen by the
directors has increased.
"We feel that although we serve a
family audience, artistically we need
to bring newer shows to our stages.
We need to keep challenging our
company " said Kathy Brombacher,
artistic director.
Audience polls passed out last season helped Brombacher make the decision to keep producing newer shows,
and the survey put "A Chorus Line"
on this season's line-up.
"People are interested in seeing
the big successful Broadway shows
that they've heard about, like4 A Chorus Line'," Brombacher said. "The
audience has frequently heard the
soundtracksofthesemusicals because
they are so popular."
Although "A Chorus Line" was
the most requested musical on last
season's audience polls, there are
manyrisksand challenges in producing the show. Brombacher cites casting, choreography details, lighting
design and orchestration as some of
the challenges that will have to be
surmounted.
Another factor the Moonlight considered in producing44AChorus Line"
is that it deals with discussion of
modem sexuality and occasionally
uses adult language. These two facSEE CHORUS/PAGE 23

Budweiser Cup races into
Mission Bay Sept. 18-20
The roar of thunder and the
speed of lightning of unlimited
hydroplane racing returns to San
Diego, SepL 18 to 22 for the 1992
'Budweiser Cup at Mission Bay.*
Unlimited hydroplanes, better
known as "Thunderboats," are the
world's fastest boats, reaching
speeds in excess of 210 miles per
hour. San Diego, with the world
record lap speed of 168.128 m.p.h.
set in 1990, is considered the premier race site in the world.
San Diego's course, between
Fiesta Island, Ski Beach and Crown
Point, produces record speeds because it was designed specifically
for world-class racing when mud
flaps were dredged to build Mission Bay Park. Unlimited hydroplanes have raced on Mission Bay
since the park was completed in
1964.
This year, more than 150,000
fans from the southwest United
States are expected to attend the
race, making it the largest annual
event in San Diego and one of the
largest events in California. San
Diego is the only location in the
southwest where unlimited hydroplanes race.
In addition to the races, activities throughout the three-day festival include water ski shows, inflatable boat races, aerobatic
shows, Thundertub races, jet ski
exhibitions and model hydroplane
races. Several unique displays and
exhibits also provide a variety of
entertainment for spectators.
Tickets to the "Budweiser Cup
on Mission Bay" are available at

candidates are listed below, with statements from the two presidential candidates.
P RESIDENTIAL RACE
• W illiam 'Rob' Christensen: My platform is to protect the students'
rights. First, I would limit the size and spending of the A.S. Government. In
addition, I would solicit private donations from corporations to defray the costs
of building a Student Union. Furthermore, I would oppose any Student Union fee
or any increase in the A.S. fee. Finally, I would lobby against any tuition or other
fee increases at the CSU Board of Trustees or at the state legislative level.
• Laura M itchell: As your next Associated Student Government President,
I will work towards establishing and enhancing a university atmosphere, while
ordaining and maintaining an increased level of professionalism j n our A.S.
government. I believe it is time for a president who, while being accessible to the
diverse student population of our campus, bestows a fresh attitude in the A.S.
government. I will put forth my ideals and insights to bring about positive changes
both for the student government and to the men and women of this university.

�Two vie for A.S. president
Christensen stress better communication;
opposes Measure A, the Student Union fee
If elected A.S. president, William
"Rob" Christensen, wishes to become
a liaison between the A.S. Council
and students.
The 22-year-old Social Sciences
senior said the A.S. has gotten too
powerful. As president, he said he
would limit the size and spending of
the A.S. Council and delegate responsibilities to independent student
committees. Each committee would
have an independent A.S. liaison in
its numbers.
"One person cannot see all views," he
said "Wemustrely on the AS. Council's
recommendations and recommendations
from student committees."
Christensen himself has served on
the Student Governance Task Force
Committee, which authored the A.S.
Constitution, and the Academic Policy
and Planning Committee.
Christensen said he is not against
the idea of a Student Union Fee, but
cited the ballot's Measure A as being
too complex.
"I think the measure is too complicated and the information was given
out too late," Christensen said.
According to Christensen, the
Mitchell advocates stronger student voice,
club involvement and Student Union funding
Laura Mitchell hopes, if elected as
A.S. president, to make student government more accessible to the student
body.
The 29-year-old Liberal Studies^
major, who currently holds a seat on
the A.S. Council, said that government
decentralization would encourage
student involvement and more accurately reflect student needs.
"I would like to make the authority
of the student government not dependent on one figurehead," said
Mitchell.
As president, Mitchell would urge
the Inter-Club Council to play a
stronger role in student governance.
She said encouraging student participation in governance is also an important function of the A.S. president.
"(Students at CSUSM) are timelimited. We have to make participation more appealing," she said.
Because students next semester will
be forced to travel off campus to use
CSUSM's library and administrative
services, Mitchell said students will have
even less time than they do currently.
She sees a hands-on approach with
the constituency as the most viable
method of gaining student support.
Mitchell said she would like to make
the A.S. Office aplace where students
can go to air their problems and voice
Jljpir suggestions.
Mitchell also said she would like
to insure some kind of funding for a
Student Union Building as A.S.
president
"Anybody who's forward-thinking
would be in favor ofa Student Union,"
she said.
If Measure A, the ballot measure
establishing a S tudent Union Fee, does
not pass in the upcoming election,
Mitchell said she would like to use
excess A.S. monies to createa Student
Union fund.
Mitchell said that a Student Union
building will benefit CSUSM alumnus and future students by creating a
student-operated meeting place where
open forums may be held.
Due to the campus's older student
body population, Mitchell said the
issue of child-care at CSUSM needs
to be addressed. She said, however,

measure is not pro-rated for part-time
students. He also said the measure
does not make clear to students that
the Student Union Building will not
be completed for another 8-10 years.
"The A.S. should try to defray the
cost (of the Student Union) by soliciting outside sources," he said. After
seeking outside financial help, the
Council can then ask students for
additional funding.
Christensen said that due to
CSUSM's demographics, the A.S.
should be made more accessible to
older students. He said the answer to
the university's child-caie needs lies
in public and private sector grants.
He said that he would like to
strengthen the relationship between
the CSUSM Foundation and the A.S.
Council. By doing so, Christensen
said the two organizations can work
together in a business relationship to
yield more funds for student organizations and activities.
Christensen said one of the biggest
challenges facing the A.S. President
is gaining student participation.
"Students need to have an active
voice," he said.

" It's the way i t's always been
done," said Mary Parker, A.S. Council member. "It's universally accepted
across the country as an established

The club will use the summer time
to establish the club, with possible

"We may set a little different rules

said.
Even though the group's activities
won't be in full swig until next semester, the group is planning a party

any questions. They wear their new
T-shirts and sweat shirts every

wanting to join can talk with any of
these officers or call Calvillo at 4574563.
I am frequently asked if it is" easy to
diagnoseHumanPapillomavirus (HPV)
infection. The answer is yes and no.
For the most part, external genital
warts are visible on examination, although their appearance varies widely
somewhat depending on their location.
At times health care providers need
some aids to help identify HPV infection and infrequently a biopsy of the
skin may be necessary.
Detection of subclinical infection is
more difficult and usually requires special studies.
In women, there is a suggestion of
subclinical infection in the pap smear* a
special examination may be required.
Remember, the pap smear test is just a
screening test and not definitive. The
special examination is called
colposcopy. A colposcopy is a sophisticated microscope that allows the provider to more closely examine the surface of the cervix and other areas of the
female genital tract. At that time, a
biopsy may be done which offers a
definitive diagnosis.
Once HPV infection has been diagnosed, difficult decision confront both
the patient and the provider. With visible warts, most medical experts feel
H EALTHNOTES
BY DR. JOEL GRINOLDS, .M.D.
that treatment is warranted in order to
remove the wart itself and reduce the
chance that the infection will spread to
others. As I statedpreviously, therisk of
transmission is poorly understood;
however, two thirds of patients will get
HPV infectionfromtheir partner.
There are multiple approaches to
treatment each with its own advantage
and disadvantages. The treatment selected depends in part on the number
and location of warts, and on the availability of resources including equipment and the experience and training of
your providers.
Patient preferences should be considered also after a discussion of the
treatment option?. However, all treatments involve*somedestruction of local
tissue, as well as some pain and inconvenience.
Some of the common treatment modalities are cryotherapy (freezing), podophyllin (caustic chemical treatment),
trichloroacetic acid (another caustic
chemical treatment), electrodessication
(electric current surgery with local anesthesia), laser therapy (laser surgery
with anesthesia) and interferon (An antiviral drug treatment).
All of these treatments are performed
by a provider and vary widely in expense. As an example, laser surgery is
very expensive. Recently, a new form
ofpodophyllincalledPodofiloxhasbeen
approved by the FDA to be used at
homeby the patient under a provider's
supervision. In some situations, this
treatment can save patients time and
money since although the Podofilox is
expensive,less visits to a provider may
be required.
While each of these approaches is
helpful the troublesome news is two
fold.
First, hot any of these treatments
cause complete and total cure of HPV.
The treatments get rid of the virus by
destroying infected cells, but generally
doesn't destroy all the infected cells.
The HPVfrequentlyinhibits a wider
area of skin than the precise location of
the wart or warts.
Secondly, with any of the treatments
and even in the hands of the best providers, it is possible that the patient will
later have one or more recurrences iu
which new warts develop.
Although the above may sound unduly pessimistic, patients withHPV can
take comfort in the fact that the infection is mild and very manageable in the
vast majority of cases. Patience and
persistence are key to the treatment of
HPV. There are many unanswered
questions about this increasingly common infection.
The best advise again is prevention.
Although condoms may offer incomplete protection because they do not
cover all areas possibly infected, they
are the best protection known short of
abstinence. Communication with ones
partner is also essential.
If you think you have HPV or have
been diagnosed with HPV, see a provider who is experienced and has current knowledge ofHPV. Lastly, making
good general health a priority is equally
essential to maintain a healthy immune
system.

�Time out: start over

student population
Starting a university is aonce-in-a-lifetime opportunity for
some people. As Cal State San Marcos evolves, it encounters
some growing pains — some a minor and some others are
sharp pangs. Regardless, if the administration and founding
faculty could start all over, they would probably proceed in
just the same way, minus one factor — the current apathetic
student population.

Cal State San Marcos students
shine as examples to journalists
I think i t's safe to say that the 43rd annual California
Intercollegiate Press Association's annual conference at the
Lake San Marcos Resort was a great success for those at Cal State
San Marcos who participated.
Organizing a weekend of competitions, seminars and banquets was a Herculean task that few universities many times
greater in size would not have been able to pull off. Yet with only
a handful of bodies and an immeasurable amount of tenacity,
CSUSM students gave anew definition to the word "superhuman."
Unfortunately the community of Lake San Marcos might not
agree with this assessment.
During the course of the weekend, seven private boats were
cut loosefromtheir moorings on the tiny lake, causing damage
to some of the vessels.
Students were found passed out by the resort's'podside,
rendered unconscious from out-of-control partying the night
before.
Partying continued loudly until 4 a.m. in the mornings,
disturbing hotel guests and residents in the area. On the second
night of the conference, 12 policemen and one canine unit
swarmed the hotel in an unsuccessful attempt to squelch the
volume of the gaieties.
Needless to say, the Lake San Marcos Resort will never allow
the California Intercollegiate Press Association to hold another
conference on its premises.
Some of the problems could be attributed to the event's
scheduling. Set on thefirstweekend of spring break, the conference could have been construed by some as an invitation to cut
loose and throw responsibility to the wind.
Each year stories of unruly college students getting out of
control during spring breakfillthe news. Riots on the beaches of

foresee, however, the degree of party-
ing that occurred.
We who organized the conference did so with the intent of
creating a stimulating and challenging atmosphere for college
journalists. We took our work seriously as we scrambled at all
hours to make sure that each event atthe conference ran smoothly
and with as few glitches as possible.
Yet, for each one of us, there were four others who had a
different agenda.
Itisinconceivablethat thevolunteered time of the conference's
numerous contributors, many of whom are professionals in the
field ofjournalism, could be eclipsed by the irresponsible actions
of a select few who found alcohol to be a better mental stimulant
than knowledge and healthy competition.
Nonetheless, those students at CSUSM (in particular Debbie
Duffy, Kathy Sullivan and Kimberly Courtney) should be proud
of their astounding efforts. With their never-say-die attitudes and
responsible behavior, they stood as shining examples of the
breed of student typified at CSUSM.
As overall winners of the conference, CSUSM's student
journalists were held as the role models for many a fledgling
college journalist. It is with great honor that I can say they filled

Once again, thecall for student involvement went out in the
form of Associated Students candidate applications. And
once again, CSUSM students did not head their calling. The
evidence is apparent when only seven people are running for
13 available A.S. Council positions.
And once again, i t's time for another scolding.
The administration's and faculty ' s challenge is to provide
a quality education in a culturally-enriched setting, CSUSM
has done more than its share with smaller classes, inspirational teachers and an abundance of campus concerts, festivals and activities.
The students' challenge is to meet the university's standards and provide student services for today and tomorrow.
But the vast majority is just concentrating on the educational
aspects of CSUSM and returning nothing to developing a true
campus community.
If a student does not participate, does not get involved, and
does not establish an example for future generations, then
leave this university. Go somewhere where your apathy could
go unnoticed and you can get lost in the shuffle and become
the little fish in a big ocean.
Go to San Diego State and deal with its small, cramped
classes or other colleges that aren't as unique as CSUSM.
Those uninvolved students haven't earned the quality of
instruction here at CSUSM.
At CSUSM, everyone is a big fish in a little puddle. The
spodight is bright, but students are not performing very well.
Let the people who really want to ease the university's
growing pains and assist in the evolution of CSUSM stay.
Then the student and faculty communities can work together
to form a university with a reputation of dignity, not apathy.
There's another call to the students and that's the A.S.
elections next week. Last year, a year of much more involvement, nearly 35 percent of the population voted/Live up to

false. These Pro-Life crisis pregnancy centers
exist solely to help women who are in a crisis

including housing, j ob assistance, adoption referrals, baby clothes and materials, labor coaching and finally support as well as many other
forms of helpful aid.

who care both about the lives of unborn children
and the well-being of their mothers. I have heard

helped in a myriad of ways from Pro-Life crisis
pregnancy centers and who thank God that they
were given the aid that helped them give life to
their children.
It seems to me that if Pro-Abortion groups
really cares for women (which they don't) they
would be at the forefront of the movement to
help women during their time of crisis. But they
do not help women in crisis, they sell abortion as
the only option a woman has, which kills unborn
children and scars women. If Pro-Abortion
groups were really for giving women a "choice"
they would not be so vehemently opposed to
those organizations that seek to help women
save their babies.
Contrary to the falsehood portrayed by Angela, Pro-Life crisis pregnancy centers do not
"lure and deceive" women into their centers to
"force" propaganda on them, but conversely
give them the true facts that they will never get
at an abortion clinic, including the aid and
alternatives to abortion that are available to
them, information on the development of their
unborn child, and reports on the possible physical
and emotional effects of abortion. Any woman
facing a crisis pregnancy will find at Birthright
and other crisis pregnancy centers not condemnation but only love, compassion, and any assistance they may need.
I would like to applaud the Pioneer for running Birthright advertisements, giving women a
real chance to choose life.

I have spent better than 20 years in and out of
the University campuses, both as a student and
as a visiting lecturer. One observation that always
holds true is that th& center of the campus
activities is the Student Union.
This is where the students like to feel like
they have a home, a place where they belong.
Even campuses that have a large number of
commuter students, like San Diego State or
Boise State, offer those students the opportunity
to experience more of university life than a
private University like National University.
The many features that Student Unions offer
are selected by the students, to benefit the students, and employ students. Imagine if you can

without the many features that their student
union can offer them.

�Despite public opinion, war-like game creates an adult-version of playing tag
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
I,
I t was Saturday morning and the
sun was shinning just bright enough
topenetratethethickfoliageofLion's
Den, a Paint Pellet Pursuit field in
Pala. The day's business was busy
and a large crowd of men, women and
even a few kids was heading for a
field known as "Pumpkin Patch."
"What's going to be your strategy?'' was a question asked to a camouflaged soldier.
"What's the camera for? What
magazine do you write for?" was the
reply.
After the standard introduction of
Cal State San Marcos and explanation ofPioneer, the question was asked
again: "What's going to be your strategy?"
"Hey, I'm going to be in the news-
paper," he shouted Not if he didn't
answer the question, he wasn't. A
bout went on for a few moments as the
stroll to the next field became more of
a hike. Just as the question was to be
withdrawn, he answered.
"I don't have one."
"A
i Lt first, there is no strategy,"
explained Clem Watts. But after playing the war-like game of Paint Pellet
Pufsuit, Watts says die need for
strategy becomes more apparent.
With only two previous days of
paint balling, Watts has already developed a five to seven man system.
The group travels across the playing
field, working together to accomplish
their task. Their goal* to capture the
flag.
Paint Pellet Pursuit is an adultversion of tag, or a toned-down version of war. In this game, specially
designed guns shoot paint pellets instead of bullets.
At about half an inch in diameter,
the plastic coated balls are shot from
specially made guns. The pellets travel
at about300feet per second and break
on contact, leaving a quarter-sized
paint blotch. The mark indicates a
"kill" and the player leaves the field.
The rest of the sport, however, is
just like a real war situation — from
camouflage uniforms to forested
playing fields.
With or without the use of strategy, a team must capture the opposing teams flag and return it to his base
to win. Thepioblem, however, is while
trying to retrieve the prize, the army
must also defend its own colors because the other team has the same
goal.
Steve McGovern thinks the pressureof the war situation is what makes
the game challenging. "People learn
how to work as a team while playing
under stress," the paint pellet veteran
said.
Watts agreed with McGovern's
ideas on team work, defending his
strategy. "The most important thing is
to communicate with each other."
CSUSM's Jeff Henson supports
the team play tactics and adds, "Don't
get h it" Henson has played several
times at the Borderland fields in Otay
and Weekend Warriors in Alpine.
"I'm mostly a defensive player,"
hecontinued.'T wait for them to come
forme. I try to get more of us to shoot
at them instead of vice versa. We try
to work as a team."
E
Lenson, fairly new to thè sport,
said the drawback to Paint Pellet Pursuit doesn't have to do with the game,
but how others perceive the sport.
"Public opinion is notagoodone,"
Henson stated. ' They think it's a
practice of war. It's not really that
(Besides) you only get one life in
war."
McGovern, a first class petty officer in the Navy, said that the people
who play like "Rambo" don't do very
well.
"Rambos die," Dan Marchand reiterated.
In fact, military tactics do not work
in the setting of Paint Pellet Pursuit.
The determining factor is because the
weapons, although improving technologically very rapidly, do not shoot
straight. Because of the liquid paint
and die seam around the pellet, firing
a paint ball rifle accurately is almost
impossible.
There is a slight chance that miliSEE PAINT/PAGE 10

The playing field was a forest; the
boundaries a tree line, river or road.
The uniform consisted of military
battle camouflage, a face guard with
goggles and colored arm bands. The
game ball (or balls) were paint pellets
that served as ammunition. The goal
was to capture the other team's flag
and the object of the game was war.
This was Paint Pellet Pursuit
I traveled on assignment to Borderland, a Paint Pellet playing field
near Otay Lakes. With me were several friends and their friends, a few
other Cal State San Marcos students
and an array of other war-hungry
people.
As the entire game proceed in front
of me — minus the few seconds I
played — I pondered the odds of me
actually getting to fire my weapon. If
not in battle, I decided, I could at least
shoot on the practice range.
The game ended and a nother

again I was killed within the first few
minutes of play.

I aimed, fired. Fired again and
again. Nothing; I missed everything.
It wasn't my lack of skill or my bad

this may look and sound like war, the

I again reviewed the rules and goals
of the game. Skill, talent or experience
could not be used in Paint Pellet
Pursuit. The one trick to winning is to
shoot as much as you can and hope
that it hits someone. In other words:

The threatof the players with semiautomatic weapons, full battle gear,

their ability and equipment, they
couldn't have more luck than me.
With that thought, I survived the
next game without being killed.
With two games completed, I

games I changed tactical locations,

Devito, Jewison play with
'Other People's Money'
In this post-industrial society, small
corporations have barely a chance of
survival They are in constant danger
of money-hungry piranhas which
gobble them up like yesterday's lasagne and spit what remains into the
corporate shredder.
Norman Jewison's latest movie,
"Other People's Money" accurately
reflects the plight of America and the
future of its small businesses.
Danny DeVito plays L any "The
Liquidator," a corporate shark who
specializes in buying companies that
are losing money and scrapping them
for their assets. H e's a hybrid o f '
Donald Trump and Don Rickles whose
ruthlessness overlooks the jobs and
communities that will be destroyed
by his takeover philosophy.
Topping the Liquidator's list of
companies to be acquired is New
England Wire and Cable, a familyownedbusiness that has survived both
World Wars and the depression. Because the company is out of debt but
a bargain on the stock market, it is a
prime candidate for takeover. 4
Mp
THROUGH I Hi mm
w
BY S H E I L A
COSGROVE
The company's Chairman of the
Board Andrew Jorgenson, played by
Gregory Peck, sees the company as a
manifestation of tradition and a pillar
for the community. To help thwart the
buyout effort, he hires a feisty female
lawyer to save his corporation from
liquidation.
The battle for power thus begins
with often hilarious results. But beneath the comic facade of "Other
People's Money" is the darkreflection
of the state of American business
ventures.
DeVito'scharacter,like many Wall
Street power brokers, cares little for
the lives, that would be crushed by the
destruction of the town's major source
of revenue. He actually feels the
b enefit to the stock holders will
override the loss of jobs and community security.
This grab-the-bucks-while-you-
can attitude has turned many a, thriving steel-town into a ghost town.
Hundreds of years of tradition have
been erased in the course of a moderately active trading day on Wall
Street
This might sound like a glum revue
for a comedy, but it reflects the cold
reality at the heart of Jewison's film
— that America's obsession with the
almighty dollar is morally bankrupting the foundation of this country.
DeVito plays t heroleofLarry'The
Liquidator" convincingly and with
his usual lack of courteous reserve.
Peck's tradition bound company chair
reflects the innocence of the olden
days when a business*s name was as
important as the community.
If yourent "Other People'sMoney"
with the sole purpose of attaining a
f ew mindless giggles, then your
money would be better spent with
such mindless fare as "Drop Dead
Fred" or "Problem Child 2 ."
View the film with a serious eye
and you will find its true statement
hidden among the laughs.

�Anza Borrego still alive
with beauty, wildflowers
Over spring break I spent a vitalizing day at Anza Borrego Park. Thinking that the flower season had faded,
I was excited to find the desert still
alive with wildflowers.
The lower elevations have begun
to wane but the north sides of the
mountains and the mid and upper
elevations blaze with flowering cacti,
as well as red, yellow, purple and blue
perennials.
More than flowers enlivened my
hike up Palm Canyon, as newly
hatched Monarch butterflies flitted
fromflowerto shrub.
The canyon still has lots of water.
The palm-shaded pools and waterfalls
offer a refreshing respite on a warm
spring day. The one-and-a-half-mile
I trail up Palm Canyon begins in Palm
I Canyon Camp ground near the Anza
Borrego Visitor Center.
From the cool water of Palm
Canyon I started down the road to
Salton Sea, turning at the dirt road to
Fonts Point Fonts Point gives the

contains beauty in its stark deadlines.
My trip was awarded with something I had never seen before—the
Badlands covered with a mantle of
grass. Green Badlands! What an
oxymoron of visual perceptions.
On my way home nature gave me
another totally unexpected visual experience. Acres and acres of flowering apple trees dotted the hillsides of
Julian while red and black cattle stood
b elly d eep in green and yellow
meadows.
Just like a present wrapped in
beautiful paper, my day in Borrego
and Julian was a visual gift of multicolored flowers, meadows and butterflies.
Before theflowerdisplay reshapes

in the hot sun, I hope that you will
have the time to enjoy nature's extravagant gift of color.

Permanent campus site set for fall;
Craven Hall, Commons may be later
L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
Students attending classes next fall at Cal
State San Marcos will most likely travel to the
permanent campus site off Twin Oaks Valley
Road for their courses, but delays in construction could suspend the opening of the administrative and food service facilities until the
following spring.
"We're convinced that the academic and
laboratory buildings will be occupiable by the
first day of fall classes," said CSUSM President Bill Stacy. 'The other two are questionable."
Craven Hall, the $14 million administrative building, and the Commons facility are
scheduled for completion after the teaching
complexes. If the buildings are not completed,
students will need to travel off campus to
purchase books, use the library or gain access
to academic records.
Albert Amado, vice president of Campus
Construction and Physical Planning, said he
met with contractors last week to discuss the
option of increasing and doubling shifts on
Craven Hall to expedite the construction process
Yet, at the current stage of construction, he
said it is doubtful that an increased work force
can push the project toward meeting its fall
1992 scheduled completion date.
"I am very optimistic, but also realistic,"
Amado said. "Once time is lost, it is difficult
to make up."
In September of 1990, construction on the
nearly $50 million Phase I campus construction project ground to a halt after grading
subcontractor C.W. Poss claimed that contractor Louetto Construction Inc. failed to pay
them $1.3 million for woik already completed
at the site.
Louetto was terminated from its responsibilities at the permanent site in October and
replaced with Lusardi Construction Company.
Worries that drought-induced water rationing would impede construction at the site
were drowned when heavy rainfall hit San
Marcos in March. The "March Miracle" left
the ground too muddy, thereby hindering
progress.
The discovery of a well beneath the foundation of Craven Hall compounded delays
further.
Craven Hall and the Commons Building
could be completed by the fall, but Amado
said that the structures will not be usable until
complicated equipment is installed.
"Even if we achieve the August completion date (on Craven Hall and the Commons
Building), the sophisticated functions in those
buildings require several months to install,"
he said.
Amado speculated that the Commons
Building will be completed by late August or
early September. He said that the time-consuming installation of food service equipment,
however, will push the building's opening
date to spring 1993.
Craven Hall will house $2 million in computer equipment, administration, student services and a 100,000-volume library. Amado
said the computer systems in the building will
be activated last
"The opinion is that Craven Hall will not
be open since it has more complications,"
Stacy said. "But I haven't written it off yet."
Students needing to use the services that
will be housed in Craven Hall will have to
traverse to the current campus site. Amado
said some of the services might be moved to
Craven Hall during the fall semester, but
added that the decision is not his to make.

Financial Aid application workshop
The Cal State Office of Financial Aid will be conducting workshops
on completing the 1992-93 Student Aid Application for California
(SAAC), and will be providing valuable information regarding the
financial aid process. Application packets for 1992-93 will be distributed at the workshops or students may pick up a packet from the Office
of Financial Aid.
The workshops have been scheduled to ensure that students will have
the information they need prior to the March 2,1992 Cal Grant deadline,
which is also the CSUSM priority filing date for financial aid. Additional information and other important dates will be given at the
workshops.
The schedule for the workshops is:
• Feb. 4 from 6-8 p.m. for a formal presentation in Building 145,
Room 9.
• Feb. 19 from 8:30-4:30 p.m.
• Feb. 27 from 5-8 p.m.
Feb. 19 and 27 are designed as drop-in workshops and are not
structured presentations. All walk-ins should bring their SAAC applications completed to the best of their ability. Students should come to
the Office of Financial Aid during the walk-in times.
Lost and found available
The University Library has various lost items left from last semester
in the lost and found area at the front desk. These items include keys, a
small tape cassette, various squeeze bottle, jackets, sunglasses, notebooks, books, computer disks and other items.
For students who have lost something or think one of the listed items
may be theirs, stop by the library in Building 135 or call 752-4340 for
information.
Hinton changes positions
President Bill Stacy announced Jan. 29 the appointment of Dr.
Bernard Hinton to the position of Assistant to the President for Technology. Hinton served as acting Dean of Business Administration for
the first three semesters of classes.
The purpose of his position is to assist the faculty, staff and administration in planning/implementing computing and telecommunication
technologies for CSUSM. One of his objectives is to work with the
technology investment made by Northern Telecom/Pacific Bell last
semester.
"Immediate attention must be locused on discovering the potentials
of that $1 million gift," Stacy wrote in a letter to the university
community. 'The university is in the midst of acquisition/bidding
computing hardware; full attention of a university person especially
focused only on the bidding process is urgent."
Hinton's appointment is effective Feb. L
Counselor joins San Marcos staff
Dr. Patti Elenz-Martin has joined the counseling staff at Cal State
San Marcos after working with San Diego State University since 1978.
Elenz-Martin's office in located by Career Planning and Placement,

Wilson, Trustees support
increased student tuition
L ARRY BOISJOLiE/PIONEER
For the second year in a row, students attending the California State
University system face dramatic fee
increases.
A proposal to increase student fees
in the CSU by 4 0 percent was revealed
last month by California State Governor Pete Wilson. The $372 per-year
increase will make accessible, funds
for the CSU system that are not
available in the proposed state budget
Last year tuition for CSU schools
rose 20 percent Next year, with the
proposed increase, Full Time Equivalent students will pay $526 more per
year than they paid last year.
CSUSM President Bill Stacy said
the increased fee will help to ensure
the availability of more classes.
"What the $372 tries to offset is
shutting out 10,000 students or letting
10,000in when they don ' t have classes
available for them." Stacy said.
Even with the i ncreases,
California's fees for higher education
remain among the lowest in the nation.
Stacy said that there is room for fees
to grow inCalifomiabecause students
pay so little.
Last year, taxpayers spent over
$6,000 per-year, per-student, while
students paid only $790. The fee increase will shift some of the financial
burdens from the backs of taxpayers
to the pocketbooks of those utilizing
the educational system.
Stacy said that students in the Midwest pay as much as half of their
tuition costs in fees.
"California remains the last great
spot in America where taxpayers
provide almost free public education,"
Stacy said.
Budgetary problems in California's
systems of higher education can be
traced back nearly a decade, with
universities carrying over money they
never had.
Stacy said the legislative budget
cuts to higher education reflect an
effort by the Wilson administration to
put an end to such practices.
"The Governor came in with the
idea that, 'all this unfunded stuff is
silly. Why don't we just give up on the
unfunded and quit trying to carry over
money you didn't get three years ago.
Let's just admit that you don't have it
and get rid of it,'" Stacy said in an
interview after last year's tuition hike.
As a result of last year's budget
cuts, campuses across the CSU system
were forced to trim administrative
and faculty costs.
San Diego State University reduced its North County campus
population by as much as 75 percent
and axed over 500 classes from the
university. The action was taken in
response to a $ 19.8 million legislative
cutback in the campus budget for fiscal year 1991-1992.
As a result of the cutbacks, SDSU
students remain hard-pressed to find

CSUSM, as an infant university,
was the only school in the CSU system with an increased budget for this
year. The campus was, however, unable to increase its faculty population
as quickly as planned. As a result
CSUSM has seven less instructors
this semester than it had originally
anticipated.
According to Stacy, the CSU Board
of Trustees supports the fee increase
and this month will recommend to the
state legislature that the increase be
implemented for the fall 1992 semester.
"The increase was the least bad of
four alternatives," Stacy said.
The CSU Board of Trustees looked
at four different manners of gaining
revenues for the financially ailing

Anderson chosen as Business Dean
Dr. Beverlee Anderson has been
appointed as Dean of the College of
Business Administration at Cal State
San Marcos, one semester later than
originally planned due to a continuation of the national search.
"We are indeed fortunate to obtain
aperson of Dr. Anderson's experience
and proven ability to fill such a critical position," said Stacy, making the
announcement after the second nationwide search was completed. "The
dean will be a key architect in the
shape and definition of our business
program and the accreditation process
the College of Business Administration will undergo.
"Dr. Anderson's experience as the
first dean of business at the university
of Wisconsin-Parkside will serve us
well as we move ahead with our
commitment to providing business
leaders in north County. She not only
brings her experience as a dean, but
also her vision of a business school o fthe 21 stcentury which is both national

and international."
Last July, Academic Vice President Richard Millman extened the
nationwide search until October.
Millman cited a lack of enthusiasm
with the original candidates and no
minority representatives in the pool
of applicants.
"For faculty positions, it is impor-
tant for us to have a diverse pool of
applicants," Millman wrote in a letter
to the faculty . "For senior administrative positions, it is mandatory."
Currently, CSUSM surpasses both
CSU and nationwide ratios of minority and female faculty members.
Anderson joined CSUSM Feb. 1.
She served as Dean of the School
of B usiness of the University of Wisconsin (Parkside) since 1988, and was
chairwoman of the Department of
Marketing at Wright S tate University
for four years, as well as director of
their Center for Consumer Studies.
Anderson received her MBA and
Ph.D. from Ohio State, concentrating
on marketing and consumer behavior. Her BS is also from Ohio State,
with a concentration is transportations and traffic management.
"It's the kind of opportunity that's
an educator's dream," said Anderson.
"The opportunity to build a business
school from the ground up comes
once in lifetime at most."

The first alternative, to get more
money from the state legislature, was
not an option since there are no excess
funds in the state treasury from which
to draw.
SincetheCSUhadalready incurred
drastic cuts last semester, the second
option of curtailing spending habits
would make the availability of classes
even more scarce.
Trustee members felt the CSU
would be guilty of "ethical fraud" if
they tried to gain revenues by increasing enrollment, since classes
would not be available for more students.
The fee increase was the last resort
for a university system caught in the
brambles of a financial crisis.
"Students have a real obligation to
look at the facts," Stacy said. "Last
year they paid more but got less
classes. This year, the money goes to
the CSU to restore classes."
In addition to the fee hike, the CSU
Board of Trustees is putting a freeze
on the system-wide growth of the
student population.
Inadraftof budget talks sent out to
CSU presidents last week, Chancellor Barry Munitz informed campuses
tocurtail enrollment. CSUSM holds a
top spot in Munitz's budget because
of construction costs and anticipated
growth.
Stacy said he doesn't feel that the
tuition hike will affect the CSU's
mission of providing affordable education to all qualified students, rather,
he said students will be able to absorb
the higher fees without much financial
duress.

Bidding for the construction of the

According to Amado, crews have
already begun painting the interior

that due to the sophistication of the

"It looks really good for August

�Taking PRIDE in CSU San Marcos
When Cal State San Marcos first
started, it did not advertise its birth to
draw students. Instead, the administration sent out letters to selected
students around the area and asked
them to attend. The remaining students
discovered the university from their
own searching.
The letters established a personal
standard. This personal relationship
between the administration and the
students still holds true today, although
it may be lost in years to come.
A new program is setting new
traditions while keeping that personal
touch. It shows how a few students
have a lot of pride in their university.
Maria Alvarado, Barbara Rollins,
James Kochi, Carol-Jeanne Form an,
G ezai B erthane and Ramona
deSanchez are six students that form

"We have six ambassadors who
have been trained in inter-personal
and group communications, all aspects
of the campus and the levels of education," said Brigitte Engel, director
of School Relations. She said the
students give an overview, whet the
potential students' appetite for Cal
State San Marcos, and "provide the
appropriate referral."
Some of the tasks of the student
ambassadors include giving presentations at local community colleges
and high schools, giving tours of the
CSUSM campus and responding
personally to calls or letters about the
university.
The group uses a pride of lions as
their logo, a symbol that reflects the
unity the ambassadors feel at CSUSM,

Student involvement has been
promoted on campus since day one.
With CSUSM still in its infancy, it is
up to the students, and how involved
they get, that determines the campus
personality and traditions. To the students' disadvantage, however, there
is no one publication that lists everything. Until now.
In Pioneer's next edition, you will
find the most complete list of clubs,
organizations, committees, councils
and publications that allow student
involvement. It will be the most
complete report on what has been
around and what is just getting started.
Of course, we need everyone's
help. If you are a member of a club,
are starting a club or need student
involvement, contact Pioneer at 7524998 or send a note through the mail.
Local Boys and Girls Club offers
child care for students, faculty
With a few alterations to the
original plans, The Boys and Girls
Club of San Marcos has teamed up
with Cal State San Marcos to
provide a child care program to
students and faculty.
Under the revised plan, the
Woodland Park branch of the Boys
and Girls Club of San Marcos is
being used and the service is being
offered Monday through Thursday.
O riginally the program w as
planned for the club located on
Rancheros Drive and only offer
three nights a week.
The program offers child care
for children enrolled in first grade
of higher from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. To
use the service, students are required to pay a membership fee of
$15 to join the club, Tanis Brown,
an organizer of the program, said
that anyone that participates in any
club program has to become a
member.
"As members of the club, students would be able to participate
in any program (at the club)," said
Brown, who also serve as an undergraduate-at-large representative
on the Associated Students Council.
The fee is a yearly due and frees
the school of all liability.
Sue Aldana, with the Boys and
Girls Club, said the membership
fee also allows parents who attend
classes during the day to leave
their children at the club, a program
that already exists.
"The new program is to extent
our hours into the evening," Aldana
said. "The idea of this program is
to set it up for parents going to
school at night"
In addition to the membership
fees, there is a $5 fee per child for
each night the child car service is
used. A sliding scale is available
for families with more than one
child enrolled.
To obtain registration forms,
call 752-4950. Pre-registration is
required for the evening program.

Tuition increases
will help students
It looks as if the freerideknown as California higher
education is nearing the end of the line.
With proposed budget hikes of 4 0 percent this year
and 20 percent last year, those wishing to to take
advantage of one of the most cost-effective forms of
education in the nation are going to have to pay a little
more.
It's about time.
N o o ne
l ooks forward to forking out $526
more per year
than last year
for education, but we
must look at
the benefits
of cost hikes.
STAFF EDITORIAL
To begin
with, the CSU system has, for the last decade, looked at
its budget throughfish-eyelenses. It has been incurring
bills and carrying money over years before the funding
even became available.
Taxpayers, who paid over $6,000 per year for each
student enrolled in the CSU, didn't even notice the
rampant spending, since they were already acclimated
to governmental misappropriation of their monies.
Since the CSU will get more of its funding from
students, it will be held more accountable to its pupil
population. Consumers who pay more for a product
become miserly and demanding of higher product quality.
Conversely, the CSU can expect more from its
students.
CSU has been one of the most affordable social clubs
in the nation. For a minimal fee, club members could
hang out on the college campuses for six or seven years
and still fail to graduate.
Hopefully, a slight squeeze on the wallets of social
butterflies will encourage them to fly more quickly
through their education than flutter by from Greek
system to Greek system.
Students paying more for education will want to
complete their studies more quickly, rather than slip
deeper into debt with the passing years.
As a result, the CSU can expect slightly better
academic performances from its students due to fee
increases. Education will become work for those only
willing to extend their community college career.
For the most part, students in the CSU system are
shelved on the lower levels of state educational stratification. Overall GPAs don't nearly compare to the
averages in the UC system or private schools who
charge more for education. CSU students are known
more for their party habits than their studious rigor.
If a fee increase achieves anything, let's hope it at
least gets the reputation of an ailing system back on the
fas^t track. 4
O UR VIEWS
Chicken relays fowl U.S. forecast
. .. So there I was, gnawing on a chicken leg, thinking about
nothing in particular when this thing happened to me.
Call it a hunch or a twisted perception or a woo woo weirdness
of the mind propagated from baby-induced lack of R.E.M. sleep.
Whatever it was, it occurred while I was holding the bird.
I was thinking about the Recession and Japan and the ex-Soviet
Union and the Persian Gulf War and Pat Buchanan when the roasted
carcass of chicken on my dinner table revealed to me a startling
revelation of future events. All of those little tidbits of information
that fly through the air on the wings of a sound bite congealed
together for one unsettling and inarguably awful augural moment of
time.
I saw, for an instant, the grim state of economic affairs in the
United States. We are caught in a self-perpetuating whirlwind of
economic turmoil. Businesses are reducing their work forces to cut
back on spending. Consumers are cutting their spending because of
less work, thereby making businesses further reduce their work
forces.
All the while, those standing in line at the welfare office that once
stood in line at Nordstrom's are blaming the Japanese for their
economic hard times. They complain over the noise of their Sansui
stereos while they drive their Toyotas to Mitsubishi Bank to cash
their welfare checks.
To compound our economic problems, America is circling high
in a thermal of patriotism. Our overwhelming victory in the Persian
3ulf has thrust our egos into the unreachable heights of the stratosphere.
Workers laid off from their jobs are turning businesses into
oattlefields where desperate employers become the sworn enemies
10 the American way of life.
We won one war with weapons, who's to say we can't win the
economic war with them as well?
The fact is, we are becoming an economically depressed society
ivith the undisputably most powerful military force in the world
Without the Soviet
Union to contend
with, we are sitting
comfortably upon
a throne of world
power.
Our present
status faintly parallels the conditions of pre-World
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
War II Germany.
If the current economic trends continue, the consequences of this
nation's desperation could become dire.
The fowl revealed a United States soriddenby economic despair
and at the same time adrenalized by military victory that humane
rationalization stands in peril.
Just face it, humbling Iraq was relatively easy and it felt darned
good. Mr. America, Pat Buchanan, knows how good it felt and
would like to go back for more. The startling fact is that a great many
Americans agree with him.
If we do go back for second helpings of Saddam Hussein rump
roast, the United States stands in danger of becoming addicted to the
patriotic power pill.
In the name of the goodol U.S of A., almost any tiny excuse could
turn into impetus for conquering our economic adversaries. Conceivably, Japan or Germany could be taken over by brute force if
desperation prevails.
I seriously doubt that the United States will ever become such a
thunderhead of imperialism, but the prospect does have a terrifying
element of forebodance that cannot be so easily discarded under the
pressure of ultimate desperation.
After Ifinishedmy chicken, I indulged in a botde of Maalox to
calm my stomach then retired to bed hoping to wake in the morning

The American political psyche is built on
two basic dispositions: the assumption of equal
civil rights for all, coupled with the notion of
individualism. These two guidelines draw the
most basic distinctions in Americans' political
beliefs, and this dichotomy is the basis for the
prominence of only two major parties. In other
words, the Republicans tendtowards a belief in
the individual (or private firm) being the best
solver of problems, and creators of opportunity,
while the Democrats consider societal equity to
be America's calling, and they champion the
cause of benevolent governmental activity.
Hence the lines are easily drawn on the basis
of agenda. On the environment, education, and
health care, the Republican penchant for lax or
nonexistent policy has become commonplace.
For every hole in the Republican domestic
agenda, the Democrats offer up a half dozen
alternatives, with the government at the helm.
Unfortunately, America's problems cannot be
solved through either lack of directive {Republican policy) or behemoth government (Democratic policy).
No wonder that so many voters don't vote.
The bulk of political campaigns are attempts to
discredit opponents instead of generate solutions. Ultimately, policy formation within the
two parties is relegated to reactive posturing.
Politics will kill the Civil Rights movement.
Every issue in the Civil Rights movement is
caught in the middle of the cross-fire described
above. From Eisenhower's hesitancy to intervene in States' policy towards school integration,
to Reagan's candidly fond remembrance of an
era that saw no discussion of societal inequality,
to President Bush's recent reluctance to support
Civil Rights legislation, the Republican record
is a consistent inactivity or opposition to strong
Civil Rights policy. Interestingly, this is consistent with Republican party belief that government cannot legislate "fair" or "caring"
mentality, and is therefore a poor director of
public and private behavior.
Of course, the Democratic party traditionally champions causes of the poor and disadvantaged, so the Civil Rights movement finds a
home here. Unfortunately, voters are forced by
nature of the two party system to choose a
party's full agenda, or to choose the opposite
party. By default, this ties the future success of
the Civil Rights movement to the Democratic
party. A danger of extinction arises as the
Democrats busily reorganizes to woo anxious
middle class voters who are more concerned
with their own feeble economic futures then the
promotion of special interest legislation.
In fact, scary candidates like David Duke do
best when the economy goes soft. White middle
America is easily persuaded that our country's
diversity is somehow threatening our long-term
strength as a nation. Particularly sensitive is any
talk of hiring quotas that are racially based, and
therefore seemingly exclusive of the existent
majority (whites). Affirmative action policy is
frequently cast in just those terms so as to
oversimplify the issues and scare people.
Ironically, most Americans are comfortable
with both aspects of the political psyche mentioned earlier equality and individualism. For
most of us, equal opportunity is perfectly palatable, although the practical translation of this
term is widely disputed. Likewise, individualism is held to be the backbone of American
ingenuity and drive, but most of us disdain the
conspicuous consumption of Wall Street's
abusers. Clearly, Americans on whole want a
fair society where anyone hard-working can
succeed. It is practically correct to include Civil
Rights in a permanent public policy.
The Civil Rights movement would be wise to
become less political in order to have a more
successful political process. Civil Rights is
best, and most widely supported, when it seeks
to protect all people from unfairness and
prejudice. It will find that too close an allegiance with "political correctness" is political
suicide.

DANTE ALIGHIERI
Major needed to boost writing skills
Due to the general deterioration of English
writing skills in American educational institutions, many of this country's industrial and
economic institutions are questioning the academic standards that allow college and university students to graduate without adequate
writing skills.
Our own CSUSM is trying to remedy the
situation with its revolutionary writing requirement of 2,500 written words per class.
Only one class on our campus, Expository
Writing for Teachers, could be classified as a
forum for improvement of upper division academic writing, yet it will not be offered during
the current spring semester. The idea that the
campus writing requirement could be facilitated
by a single class reflects a lack of planning and
disregard for writing skills which is pervasive at
all levels of education:
Yet the dilemma we are witnessing may not
be apathy or neglect but the fear of writing. In
the essay, 'Teaching English as a Creative Art,"
writer/theorist Jean Pumphery explains, "Writing is and always will be the most difficult of
human endeavors." Therefore, CSUSM must
supply the means to improve the writing ability
of students who desire more intensive composition training.
Some students have the desire to improve
their writing proficiency after completion of
English Composition classes at the lower division level. Other students will have the desire to

FORUM
the growth of all students' writing potential.
The majors being offered in history, social science, math, (in addition to the post graduate
credential program) indicate that this university
has taken responsibility of educating the teachers
of the future.
To provide our country and our children with
the best educators of the 21st century, we, as
students, must conquer the problem of written
communication before we can teach or
thoughtfully interact with our peers.
One answer is the addition of an English
Composition major. A new major in this area
would not only provide more classes for English
majors who have an intense interest in written
communication, but it would give all students
the chance to enroll in writing classes that are
not offered now.
New classes would back up the founding
faculty's and administration's rhetoric encapsulated in the writing across the curriculum goal
and provide substantive guidance for students
who want to improve their writing skills.
If CSUSM wants to practice what it preaches,
there will be new classes to support the development of writing skills. The future of American education is being formulated at our university, and the skills necessary to rectify the
current writing problems at the elementary and
high school levels should be taught here.
learn the intricacies of writing of business or
industry. What does our curriculum offer to
accommodate these needs?
Writing across the curriculum is a wonderful
concept, but how will the staff of this university
encourage and help students who fall short in
their production of academic quality writing?
All students entered CSUSM to improve their
education and gain marketable skills. Thereby,
they have accepted the challenge of the writing
requirement. Where is the support for the students who want to improve their writing skills?
Since writing is part of all classes, will biology, math, and geography professors set aside
three to six hours of their classes to teach writing? Furthermore, can all instructors provide
proficient instruction in writing for their students?
Obviously, there is a need for a more diverse
writing curriculum at this university to support ~

cement enclosures can be found at
the San Diego Zoo. Replacing the
old jail-like cages are environmentally complete natural habitats.
Gorilla Tropics is the San Diego
Zoo's latest addition to its natural
habitat exhibits. Lush foliage,
cascading waterfalls and a grassy
rock-strewn hillside recreate the
environment of an African
rainforest, home of the lowland
gorilla.
The seven gorillas that dwell in
the enclosure are not the only
animals to enjoy this newly formed
environment. Seventy-five species
of birds and over 100 types of
native trees, flowering vines and
herbaceous shrubs fill the two and
one-half-acre exhibit
Five exhibits make up the
Gorilla Tropics complex. The
highlight of the attraction is the
10,000-square-foot gorilla enclosure. The new home for the animals
is five times larger than the previous gorilla enclosure. Glimpses of
these animals can be caught from
strategically placed viewing points
across waterfalls, through foliage
and from a suspension bridge.
The newly remodelled Scripps
aviary is another exhibit in Gorilla
Tropics. An elevated walkway
allows visitors to view birds in their
tree-top homes. The sky-blue
netting overhead disappears into
San Diego's skyline, creating for
visitors the effect of walking
through a rainforest.
A $200,000 computerized sound
system pipes sounds of the jungle
through 144 speakers hidden among
the tropic's walkways. Insect, bird
and animal sounds force listeners to
peer behind the shrubbery, searching for the elusive sounds.
In addition, the sounds of wind,

places to enjoy, that we who live
here can easily become immune to
their diversity. This gave me an idea
for a sort of travel column.
In every issue of the Pioneer,
until the end of the semester, I will
write about and photograph some
part of San Diego and its nearby
neighbors. Hopefully, I will
reaquaint you with some old
favorites and maybe introduce you
to some totally unknown regions.
I wanted to call my column "The
Hidden and not so Hidden Corners
of San Diego;" but the title is too
long. Next I thought of "Kathy's
Korners," but it sounds more like a
column on quilting or food news.
Larry suggested that we use
"Sullivan's Travels" in the tradition
of Gulliver.
How appropriate to have my first
column cover the San Diego Zoo —
one of the most prestigious zoos in
the world (And how long has it
been since you visited our famous
attraction?).
The zoo provided me with a
press package which included a free
bus ride. It was the first time I had
ever taken the bus tour. What a
great ride, well worth the $3 the zoo
charges.
The best seat on the bus is
standing at the rear of the upper
deck. You get a bird's-eye view of
the animals on both sides of the bus.
The bus driver keeps up lively
informative talk about the animals. I
not only had fun, but I learned a lot
about the zoo, the different species
of animals and their place in our
changing world.
The San Diego Zoo is changing
to meet the consciousness of the
90s. Their new practices of animal
maintainence makes viewing and
studying the animals a pleasant
experience. What a change from the
old, which displayed all animals of
one species in duplicate cages, to
the new, which displays animals
the rocks. The exhibits have been
constructed with hills and rocks,
watprf"lls and trees, and special
private places that the animals can
hide from human observation.
My day at the zoo was great fun.
-Some of the highlights include: the
size of the mouth of yawning hippo
through a 200mm camera lens, the
joy of seeing a newly born wild
horse still wet from birth, and the
sadness of knowing that I will
probably be the last generation to
see an oryx, because there are only
a few members of the species left
on earth, and those are not breeding
well in captivity.

Late-night television dating shows

As a single woman with no steady
beau, I approach Valentine's Day with
little enthusiasm. S o far in life the
only misty eyes I've gotten from the

homeroom class (it turns out I was
allergic to the flowers).
But, as an adult, I yearn for those
little comforts that the weaker sex can
offer me: parallel parking, programing the VCR, tuning up the car and
lighting the barbecue.
Unfortunately, as a full-time student who holds a job and spends an
average of 55.7 hours in front of the
boob tube per week, finding a good
man can be as difficult as filling out
my 1040A Federal Income Tax Form
(another little asset men have to offer).
To solve my problem I turned to

sometimes fabulous prizes. These
tender morsels of dating fodder can
be found weeknights from 10:30 to
(gasp) 1:00.
The first dating show of the night
holds the pretentious and decidedly
sexist title "Studs."
The idea behind the program is to
f ix t wo men (the studs noted in
aforementioned title) with the same
three different women. Host Mark
DeCarlo reads various responses that
the three women had to their dates.
The two guys then try to guess who
said what. If they guess correctly,
they get a little quilted heart. The man
with the most quilted hearts wins.
"Studs" e nds after each man
chooses which one of the three women
he would like to accompany on a
dream date of his design. If the woman
of his choosing agrees, and if he has
the most hearts, he gets the girl.
The biggest problem with "Studs"
is its unabashed sexism. There is always one woman of the three that
doesn't get chosen. "Studs" propagates the antiquated stereotype that
the man is the most qualified of the
sexes to choose a good date. The
women on the show are reduced to
litde more than sex-blubbering gameshow wallflowers hoping to be chosen for the next inuendo.
If "Studs" would only break the
grasp of male domination, it might be
a romantically rewarding experience
for its female contestants, instead it
stoops to clutch ratings with mindless
verbal foreplay and unalluring malebonding.
Finding "Studs" to be not a good
place to find men, I turned to the old
midnight standby, "The Love Connection," where "you can hear the
details of an intimate date."
The premise behind the program is
simple. A contestant (either male or
female) chooses a date from video
interviews. After the date, host Chuck
Woolery interviews both parties to
discover how the date proceeded. If
the date went well and the audience

�Liaisons' breaks dangerous new ground
Moonlight production defies tradition
with risque tale of cruelty, deception
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
As Cal State San Marcos is trying
to define its traditions, the Moonlight
Amphitheatre is breaking a tradition
held by most of North County's
community theaters. Instead of relying on tame classic musicals, the
Moonlight has put together a drama/
comedy production that can be considered a risquesex show.
Making its San D iego County
premiere, the Vista cast presents "Les
Liaisons Dangereuses" through Feb.
16.
With a one-set stage, 11 cast
members, and a story from Choderlos
de Laclos, the plot tells of revenge,
deception, sex, love and cruelty. The
close-knit cast performs a marvelous
production and shows, in very plain
language and actions, why this show
is promoted as "for mature audiences
only."
"This show gives us a license to do
a lot of things you can't do," said lead
actress Patti Goodwin. She plays La
Marquise de Merteuil, a proper French
women who is anything but proper
behind closed doors.
Goodwin dominates the stage of
"Dangerous Liaisons" with her performance while de Merteuil dominates the other characters with her
blackmail. Goodwin's performance
is stunning.
With the help of crisp direction
from Gary Krinke, she moves around
the stage with a glow of innocence
when the welcome mat is out and puts
on a better show when the doors are
closed.
"She is everything I wouldn't want
to be . .. but it's something that I can
set aside from myself and have fun
with," Goodwin said. "Her demise is
incredibly strong."
Goodwin has many musical perSEE M OON /PAGE 17

in the Moonlight's "The King and I,"
in Starlight's "The Wizard of Oz,"
"42nd Street" and "The Musical
Comedy Murders of 1940." This is
her first serious non-musical role and
she has made the transition perfectly.
Her male counterpart is played by
Roy Guenther Werner. As le Vicomte
de Valmont, Werner makes no distinction between private and public;
his on-stage love affairs outnumber
the cast members and contribute to
his reputation as le Vicomte.
Werner has an easy part. His lines
and appearances are many and difficult, but the ease comes from the
opportunity to seduce and sexually
arouse the female characters. He plays
his part with perfection and is one cast
number who can associate with his
character.
f "I was this part when I was young,"
Werner said in reference to his days in
college. "I have experience to draw
off of. I feel very comfortable with
this part."
Werner joins the Moonlight after

pre-picked the same person, they get
another date on the house.
'The Love Connection" avoids the
fallacies propagated in "Studs" by
illustrating that dating is a mutual
experience shared by two adults capable of deciding what they like.
From watching the show over the
years, I have discerned two different
types of "Love Connection" contestants:
The Sleeze—begins the interview
with the statement, "He/she looked
yummy in that leather outfit I was
ready to cut to the chaserightaway."
Usually the sleeze ends the interview
with a suggestion that the next date
will end up under the covers, or in a
sleeping bag, or on a hammock...
The Unable to Please—starts out
with the statement, "He/she wasn't
quite whatl expected... "and proceeds
to "the waiter/waitress at the restaurant was a hot number." Oftentimes,
this person is more interested in
gaining a television audience than
going on a date.
Unfortunately, I am neither good
with audiences nor willing to have
sex in a hammock so "The Love Connection" doesn't quite complete my
circuits.
Next, I turned to "The Personals"
at 12:30. The program pits one contestant against three wanna-be dates.
The three wanna-bes try to guess how
the contestant answered personal
questions. The person who guesses
the most amount of questions correctly wins a date.
At the close of "The Personals,"
the two winners are asked a series of
quick "yes" or "no" questions. If they
answer similarly to enough questions,
they could win a trip to Club Med. If
they blow it on the queries, then they
get an all expenses paid trip to a trashy
L.A. hot dog stand.
The questions range from, "Can
you make a slinky walk downstairs?"
to "Do you eat asparagus?" Host
Michael Berger delivers these questions in classic toungue-in-cheek style,
but even his quick wit doesn't save
the show from the plethora of corny
pick-up lines and phoney come-ons
that emanate from the contestants.
'The Personals" is strictly for those
types who find enjoyment at single
bars, love polyester and think Jim
Morrison is a genius.
So, with Valentine's Day approaching like a bloated commercial
pufferfish, I find that even the intellectual fountainhead known as television won't be able to fix me up with
a date.
I guess my only logical alternative
is to hit the video stores and rent a
Valentine classic like "The Way We
Were" or "Love Story." Not!

Student fee adopted in elections
L ARRY B OISJOLIE /PIONEER
Next spring, students will be assessed a
$ 15 membership fee, due to an overwhelming victory by two measures on last week's
Associated Students special election ballot.
With 200 students voting in the Oct 7
and 8 poll, Measure B, which approved the
fee, passed by a landslide 73 percent of the
vote. An enabling measure allowing the
A.S. to collect the imposed fee also was
. adopted with 8 2 percent of the student vote.
Along with the f ee measures* Measure
C, which established principles of remunerations for A.S. Council members, also
passed. The measure squeezed by with a 5 2
percent "yes" vote.
"We are surprised and pleased by the
results,"said A.S. President JoseChapman.
"It proves that all the work on the elections
did not g o for naught."
• • ? Last April, students narrowly approved
a $15 A.S. membership fee, but failed to
pass the enabling measure allowing the
organization to collect the charge. As a
result, the A.S. turned to the University
Foundation for a $12,900 loan to attain
funds.
Last week's victory will give the A.S. a
steady source of income and provide funds
to repay the Foundation's loan.
"We were certain to make sure A and B
passed," Chapman said. He indicated that
translations for the ballot measures that
were printed on the ballot helped students
understand for what they were voting.
The translations provided pro and con
explanations of the ballot measures in terms
students could comprehend.

Measure C stands for council 'conflict'
When the Associated Student Council put a measure on last
week's ballot asking for the principle of receiving rerttUnerations,
they had no idea that it would cause a stir.
Measure C, which passed by a narrow margin of six votes, asked
students to apprcfve the idea of establishing and awarding scholarship stipends, grants-in-aid and other remunerations to A.S.
officers and Council members.
"I was surprised at the reaction to the measure since it didn't
establish anything but a principle," said Vicc President of Student
Affairs Ernest Zomalt.
He said the proposition did not commit the student body to any
type of expenditure of funds.
But other students saw the measure as an attempt by the A.S.
Council to award themselves monetary compensation, for their
work.
In a letter to Pioneer, CSUSM student William Christensen noted,
"The A.S. is quickly imitating the politicians in Washington and
Sacramento who give themselves pay raises, bonuses and fringe
benefits."
Barbara Pender, editor of the campus yearbook, said that students serving on the A.S. Council should do so without pay. She said
she believes the work should be performèd on a voluntary basis
only.
A.S. President Jose Chapman said the A.S. did not actively
campaign for the measure because measures A and B establishing
student fees were the "thrust" of the election.

! Alcohol Awareness Week at CSUSM inidates a year-round emphasis on alcohol education and recognition of thp individual's ultimate
responsibility for decisions regarding use or non-use of alcohol. Activities
at CSUSM coincide with similar efforts during National Collegiate

An effort to stress education and the individuals ultimate responsibility in making well-informed, responsible decisions will be the focus
of the program. A display table will be set up in the Student Lounge

Panic disorder can be treated
if diagnosed quickly, properly
Recently, The National Institutes
o f Health c onvened a c onsensus
conference on a very common disorder and have agreed (which i s not
always the case) that it i s very responsive to treatment.
Panic disorder is defined as discrete
periods o f intense fear or discomfort
that are not triggered by severe anxiety-producing stimulus.
Most people with the disorder believe they are having a heart attack or
some type of severe impending doom
without any obvious precipitating
event. Therefore, panic disorder is
frequently misdiagnosed and consequently not properly treated.
Although r ecognized s ince the
1960s, known to occur in families,
and being maybe as common as 1 in
75 people, panic disorder i s s o often
misdiagnosed that patients frequently
have seen 10 or more doctors before
they are properly diagnosed.
Patients need to have at least four
of the following symptoms for the
diagnosis: shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations (increased heart
beat), trembling or shakings sweating,
choking, chest pain, abdominal distress, numbness, fear o f dying, and

fear of going crazy or losing control.
A person who has four or more
panic attacks in one month i s considered to have panic disorder. Some
may have isolated attacks and may
not require treatment. Others may have
infrequent attacks but live in constant
fear o f attacks and would possibly
benefit from treatment.
What is exciting is that there is
consensus that treatment really works.
Antidepressant medications, other
medications and cognitive-behavior
therapies have been found to be effective. Combinations of the therapies
are being researched. Fortunately,
people w ho have been rendered dysfunctional by this disorder are now
being helped with current therapy.

P AMELA F ARREL /PIONEER -.
If you're a student at Cal State San
Marcos, chanccs are the person sitting
next to you in class is areentry woman.
Reentry women comprise onethird of the student population at
CSUSM. Many times, they face different obstacles than their younger
classmatesand have differing reasons
for seeking a degree.
"I sec reentry as a long-term trend,"
says Sandy Kuchler, director of Student Developmental Services. "Many
people switch focus or careers several
times in their lives. They have seen
education as the key to reentering the
job market or transitioning from one
career to another."
Kuchler says that CSUSM is a
"testimony of the number of students
that are not of traditional age." She
indicates that the focus of this older
student body is on life-long learning.
Reentry i s a grey term. Students in
this category range from 25-35 years
old and through their 70s. These students are sometimes called "adult
learners" or "non-traditional age students."
The average age of a student at
CSUSM i s 2 9, four years greater than
the national average. Many reentry
students have families and jobs to
tend to outside of their studies.
Time management, childcare, elder care, fears about skill level and
unreal expectations are some of the
common dilemmas of reentry women.
"Balancing time i s the biggest
challenge," comments CSUSM reentry student Tanis Brown. Student
Donna Hinke agrees, "My struggle is
how to juggle family responsibilities
with study and class time."
Kuchler says, "Deep down inside,
women f eel they need to do it all.
They just can't do it all at the same
level."
To help provide support for those
issues of letting g o and o f lowering
expectations, Kuchler developed the
W omen's I nformation N etwork
(WIN).
"Ideally," s ays Kuchler, "this
educational should involve the entire
family or significant others who initially may be very supportive of the
decision to return to school. However,
when reality sets in and the student is
nolongeravailabletohelpmeetneeds, .
there i s sometimes anger and frustration to deal with."
One of WIN's functions i s to help
them battle those frustrations.
But, because many reentry students
have so many other responsibilities,
"I see reentry as a long-term trend. Many people switch
focus or careers several times in their lives. They have seen
education as the key to reentering the job market or
transitioning from one career to another."
SANDY KUCHLER/STUDENT DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES DIRECTOR
providing a support group can be difficult. Kuchler says that many reentry
women c ome to campus for just one
class.
For that reason, she says she is
interested in hearing from women who
may be interested in meeting at a time
other than the scheduled meetings at
noon on Tuesdays in the Student
Lounge.
Kuchler was a reentry woman herself, s o she i s sympathetic to the time
demands on reentry women. "If a
group of reentry women in one class
wants to contact me, I'd love to get
together and meet them," she says.
Patti Elenz-Martin, a counselor in
Counseling Services, also sees the
reentry woman as plagued by business
and responsibilities.
"Sometimes hectic schedules can
make students feel isolated or disconnected. I want to be sensitive to their
schedules," says Elenz-Martin.
"Some students may feel they don't
have any options because they aren't
aware of the choices or resources that
may be available to them. Often, they
have s o many classmates, they don't
take time for themselves."
Elenz-Martin says providing resources is a two-way street She is
open to suggestions from students o f
resources needed and workshops they
would like to s ee offered.
To provide information in a f lexible manner, Counseling Services and
Career Planning offers a variety o f
on-going workshops on topics like
stress management, resume writing
and an orientation to the SIGI computer programs for interest evaluation.
Audio and video cassettes and pamphlets are also available to students.
"Childcare i s another area of need
on the agenda for the new facilities,"
Kuchler says. "Because o f tight state
regulations, it is impossible to handle
a childcare facility on our current
campus."
A childcare co-op is being formed
and interested students should sign
up in the Associated Students O ffice.
Faculty members are receptive to
the trend of older students.
Dr. Ken Mendoza, professor of
English, estimates that nearly 9 0 percent of his students are o f non-tradi- tional age.
•
"They havea stronger commitment
to their studies, largely due to their
l ife experiences which allow them to
s ee a clear association between their
goals, their experience and their university education," says Mendoza.

Columbus was important
despite incorrect ideology
There I was, sitting in the Student Lounge, eavesdropping as
usual. Over there were these two grade school instructors discussing
how to teach Christopher Columbus' discovery to their children.
—Well, let's see, he discovered America.
—Sure, but he was a bigot!
—But nobody had ever discovered America, except maybe Leif
Erikson.
—He was a bigot too!
—I think it's pretty important that he discovered A merica...
— ... and started 500 years of oppression! You want to glorify a
monster like that?
— No, I guess you're right. We'll let the kids figure out for
themselves who discovered America. Now, what about Lincoln
Of course, the conversation may not have gone exactly as
depicted, but I really wasn't taking notes.
What I did note was the final insistence from both grade school
teachers that Columbus be deglorified because of his belief in
Manifest Destiny.
Back then (a half a millennium ago) countries thought that they
had a God-givenrightto claim territories. As a result, whole nations
of people., like the American Indians, suffered from colonization
and invasion.
Obviously, with today'scrazc for political correctness, Manifest
'Destiny is hardlyan embraced doctrine. But, in the time of Columbus
it was.
When I was a child I revelled in stories of the age of exploration.
Travelers like Magellan and Drake wererightup there with Captain
Kirk in their quests for the unknown. Easily the most excellent
explorer of them all was Columbus himself.
It is difficult to understand all of the hullabaloo over
Measure C in last week's Associated Students elections
The measure seemed simple enough at first—asking
students to approve theprinciple for awarding A.S. Council
members stipends, grants and other forms of aid for work
done in governmental meetings.
Yet some saw the measure as a way for the A.S. to

fal
and
social
ideologies than
our own, is counterproductive. It takes away their opportunity to
cling to the ambitions of historical mentors.
Just because Thomas Jefferson possessed slaves, for instance,
doesn'tmean that he disregarded humanrights.JohnF. Kennedy's
accomplishments cannot be ignored just because he slept with
Marilyn Monroe.
Bashing Columbus for beliefs that were accepted during his
lifetime 4 99 years ago serves no purpose but to promote political
correctness today. Who can say how the explorer would have gone
about the business of discovering America in today 's society?
History teaches us many lessons on many different levels. Our
philosophies on how to treat others are directly gauged and formed
by actions in the past but s o is the knowledge of the world around
US'.
Columbus taught us that there are always new horizons to be
discovered and explored. Let's examine the man for that accomplishment and not stoop to mindless folly by nitpicking at his
beliefs.
Examining other A.S. organizations, it becomes readily
apparent that such expectations are not realistic.
Most A.S. council members throughout the Cal State
system receive stipends from the student body. These
stipends are paid for out o f student fees for the immense
amount of time each member expends while serving on
the council.
Measure C does not award stipends to A.S. Council, it
simply asked if students believe the principle of scholarships or grant-in-aid for council members is ethically
correct.
Why shouldn't it be?
With a population that consists of one-third reentry
women, CSUSM has a student constituency that is pressed
for time and money. Many students have families and
must hold a job while continuing studies. Taking time to
serve on an A.S. Council can put an expensive squeeze on
the pocketbook and limit income.
The A.S. president's stipend of $ 3,600is barely a drop
in the bucket for the time expended for the job. Most other
CSUs award their A S . presidents stipends that are 10 to
2 0 times higher than CSUSM's.
In addition, due to the small size of CSUSM and the
newness of the student government, a greater time commitment for the president i s needed than at other schools.
Many times he/she must serve on committees that are
vacant from lack o f student participation.
This time commitment does not allow the A.S. president to hold a work experience job apart from his/her
other duties. Is token compensation too much to ask for
such a sacrifice?
When students are elected to A.S. positions, they are
not elected into a priesthood where money and time must
be sacrificedfor service. They areelectedintoacommunity
that needs their services.
In this case, thecommunity-at-large (students) should
be receptive to the fact that fulfilling that need is costing
A.S. members personally.

The gay community is making an issue out o f

The need for legislation i s void. T o rectify
any discrimination in the j ob market, employers

fill j 111*??
Living in his own world, Quixote creates a
w mmmmmmm^m
society where he fights his adversaries and
protects his friends. Whatever Quixote believes becomes reality to
him.
"Man of La Mancha," playing at the Civic Theatre in San Diego,
recreates the spirit of Quixote with eloquent songs and superb acting.
Performed on an elaborate stage, "Man of La Mancha" wanders
through the life of Cervantes and his character, Don Quixote.
The opening scene presents Cervantes, exquisitely performed by
David Holliday (who also5 performs as .Quixote), as he and his servant
are thrust into a prison. In order to avoid the other prisoners' abuse,
Cervantes reveals a story about a traveling man, Quixote, and his
trusty friend, Sancho, whimsically performed by Darryl Ferrera. All
the prisoners within the prison interact in Cervantes' story by
becoming characters for the telling of the story.
Within Cervantes' story, Quixote encounters many different
people, one of which he falls in love with and calls his "Dulcinea."

One of the best scenes within "Man of La Mancha" depicts an
interaction between Aldonza and Sancho. Aldonza probes Sancho
about his obedience to Quixote, and he lovingly sings, "I really like

favorite knight preforms acts o f
heroism in a tournament of jousting
and sword fighting. Color, pageantry, elegant horsemanship, good
food and a great time await visitors
to M e d i e ^ Ti ib$sv in Buen&J*ark.
Upon arrival, each guest is given
a colored crown So wear. This
crown admits them as part of the
retinue of their champion knight.
The blue crowns sit in the blue
section and cheer loudly for the
blue knight as he represents them
during the ceremonial procession
and games.
The Count and Countess of
Perelada, who preside over the
games and banquet, greet the
arriving guests. Their costumes are
exquisite as arc their manners.
The next adventure takes the
guests into a hall of torture. Here
over 30 authentic reproductions of
instruments of torture and ridicule
used during the Middle Ages are
displayed.
In this room are devices that
were commonly found in Spanish
dungeons and jails. Items of cruelty
like the "Rack" and the "Interrogation Chair" to items o f humiliation
like "Scolds Bride:" and "The

room is very interesting the additional $2 charged for the tour seems
excessive.

As guests enjoy their feast,
colorfully attired knights and

horsemanship are superb and the
knights are true virtuosos of lance

continues Dcmpsey, "The key to the
success of the show and our safety
is practice, practice; practice."

L ARRY B OISJOLIE /PIONEER
These days, the world is no stranger to surges of
nationalism. The Baltic states are discovering their own
identity, as East Germany tries to reclaim a unified
nationalist pride that abated for decades,
But with all the attention on the ¡Eastern Block
countries, Dr. Hank Johnston, professor of Sociology at Cal State San Marcos, says a region of
nationalist pridein the world today goes virtually
unnoticed.
The region is Catalonia, a smallstate in Spain
that has kept a sense of nationalist ^ride through
4 0 years of oppression.

"Nationalism is often an expression of
economic problems," says Johnston. "In
Catalonia we cannot underestimate how
important a basic cultural identity is to a
people."

view of nationalism than that which is
played out on Americans news* broach.

Catalonia 1939-1979', the book may be the only one of
its kind in the English language.
"The book is about how Catalonians were able to
preserve cultural identity despite apolice state," Johnston
states.

He says that under the Franco regime, Spain had a
more oppressive ^ystem of government than the Soviet
Union. C&talcnA^and Basques, for instance, were forced
to speak Spanish rather than their own languages. Tft&se
not speaking Spanish were arrested.
Yet, Catalonians were able to preserve their unique
culture and bring it back through democratic methods
after the Franco reign ended.

CSUSM affected little by budget
M ARK H OPKINS and
LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
DespiteGovernorPeteWilson'sausterebudgetproposalforhigher
education, Cal State San Marcos officials said their campus' budget
will not be as affected as their counterparts at the 19 other CSU
institutions.
Wilson's budget proposal, released last month, would allocate
$2.14 billion for the CSU system. Even though thefigure represents an
increase of $882,000over this year's appropriations,itdoes not absorb
an expected growth of 7,500 students and mandated spending hikes
totaling over $100 million.
According to the Chancellor's Office, CSU needs$2.23 billion to
maintain the level of instruction and services currently offered. The
budget would create a shortfall in operating revenues of about $90
million.
"This is a disastrous budget," said Acting ChancellorEllis McCune.
"We understand that the state is in a majorfinancialcrisis, but this
budget is going to make it very difficult for us to carryout our mission. "
Even though CSU officials speculate that the frugal budget will
Tuition hike

financial aid
adversely affect the quality of education throughout the system,
CSUSM President Bill Stacy said repercussions from the governor's
budget will not be as severe here as at other institutions/
"Our strongest hunch is that there will not be (a curtailment of
hiring new faculty); we've got to move forward," Stacy said.
He did indicate, however, that student services will not develop as
quickly, should the Governor's budget be implemented. Extra-curricular activities, such as sports, might be held back in their vitalization due to lack of funds.
Stacy indicated that students have been "remarkably tolerant" of
attending classes in a shopping center atmosphere and having limited
student activities.
Where other campuses will receive cuts in their 1991-92 budgets,
CSUSM's piece of the budgetary pie will continue to grow.
"They've taken good care of us again for this next year," said Stacy,
"Generally speaking, they took the current 1990-91 budget from the
other 19 campuses and cut it a b it Our campus will have a bigger
budget for 91-92 and they'll cut from our bigger budget. We'll grow

Proposed Fee Increase
LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
While college officials worry over how to
supplement funding for Cal State San Marcos should GovernorPeteWilson's proposed
budget be implemented, the Office of Financial Aid encourages students, now more than
ever, to take advantage of available grant and
loan programs.
Ac cording to Paul Phillips, director of
Financial Aid at CSUSM, needy students can
still get full funding for their education at the
university, despite a proposed 20 percent
increase in tuition.
"One of the worst things we can do is to
scare needy students away," Phillips said. "It
appears to us that there is a strong commitment in the State of California to enable
needy students to go to our higher education
institutions."
Students now receiving financial aid and
new recipients are protected from the possible tuition hike, said Phillips, because both
kinds of aid available are designed to cover
all or part of the fees.
He said Wilson's budget does not ignore
thefinancialstrain a fee increase could place
upon needy students.
"At this point in the Governor's budget,
he put funds in to increase both of those
awards (Cal Grant and State University
•YEARLY TUITION COSTS
J O N A T H A N YOUNG/PIONEER
Grants) by the amount of the fee increase,"
said Phillips. The Governor's budget also
has stipulations to accommodate increased
recipients.
Fees for students taking six units or
less willriseby $90 per year, while those
taking more than six units will have to pay
$ 154 a more annually in tuition, said Phillips.
Due to the high-level publicity the
hikehas received,Phillips anticipates more
students to file for aid. Since eligibility
for aid is contingent not only upon in-
come, but the cost of education as well,
Phillips guesses that the percentage of students able to receive financial aid will rise
by "maybe 5 percent"
Rising costs would also mean that students now eligible for loans may be qualified to receive more money than at present
A student now eligible for $1,500 in loans
may be qualified for $2,000 should the increase be implemented. The maximum
amount a student may qualify for is $4,000.

center, stresses that the purpose of the center is not to create papers for
students, rather, it is designed to help students form their ideas and put
them down on paper.
The center is located in Building 135 next to the Center for Books in
Spanish for Children and Adolescents. It is open on Mondays and
Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Since seating is limited, students must sign up for both their departing
and return trips at the CSUSM-SDSU North County Library's reception
desk no more than one week in advance. The shuttle picks students up
at the front door of the campus library.
Two new majors added;
academic plan revised
L ARRY B OISJOUE and
M ARK HOPKINS/PIONEER
Despite the addition of two new
degree programs at Cal State San
Marcos for fall 1991, officials in the
CSU Chancellor's Office have requested revisions to the college's fiveyear Academic Master Plan.
In January, CSUSM Executive
VicePresidentRichardRush, sent the
proposed Academic Master Plan for
the university's first five years to the
Chancellor's Office. In the plan, Rush
asked for the addition of three degree
programs for the fall of 1991. Of the
three, Economics and Political Science were approved, while Computer
Science was rejected.
"We have serious questions about
whether a BS in Computer Science
implemented in 1991 could meet either Trustee quality criteria or national professional accreditation
guidelines," wrote Sally Casanova,
Dean of Academic Affairs and Plans
of the Chancellor's Office.
In the letter, Casanova questioned
the ability of CSUSM to provide facilities to support such a program at
this early stage in the campus' development
"The campus is apparently planning to begin offering the major nearly
two years before the earliest date that
the facilities to support the program
can be in place," Casanova wrote.
Before a program in Computer
Science can be implemented by
CSUSM, it must be approved by both
the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC) and the
Chancellor's Office. Casanova said it
is unlikely that CSUSM would be
able to draft a proposal acceptable to
both bodies by fall 1991.
According to the letter, CPEC
doesn't see the need at this time for
any additional programs in Computer
Science statewide.
"We're disappointed that we're not
able to offer that major," said Victor
Rocha, to the University Council last
Thursday. "Maybe it's a blessing in
disguise."
The Computer Science program
remains in the college's 10-year
Academic Master Plan with no specific date of its implementation.
Casanova proposed that the uni-
versity'sfive-yearAcademic Master
Planbeextendedto 10 years given the
large number of proposals submitted
and the long lead time required in
budgeting for them.
"The number of degree majors
which the University proposes to
implement by 1995 is rather substantial for a campus of 2,400 Full Time
Equivalent students, but quite reasonable for the enrollment level which
will probably be attained by 2000,"
Casanova cited.
The 10-year plan can be modified
annually to meet the demands of the
changing student population.
"Things that are going to influence
the theme of the campus have to do
with student pressure and student
push," Rocha said to the University
Council.
He also pointed out to the Council
that the community-at-large will also
be integral in the formation of programs at CSUSM. The forthcoming
Scripps medical complex, to be built
adjacent to the CSUSM permanent
campus, might influence some future

Indian quill boxes display tradition
K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER
Before her death a year ago, Mathilda Allison preserved her Indian tradition by creating boxes decorated
with porcupine quills. The birch bark
boxes and sweet grass baskets have
been shown all over the United States
and now are on display in the CSUSM,
SDSU North County Library.
Allison was born in Good Heart
Michigan, an Ottawa Indian village,
to a German father and Indian mother.
She spent her earliest years with the
elders of the tribe learning the Ottawa
language and traditional Indian values.
"The elders of the tribe considered
her a full-blooded Indian," explained
Harold Allison, Mathilda's husband
of many years. "She didn't belong to
the younger group."
Allison's husband is allowing his
collection of her artwork to be enjoyed by many people. Lind& Locklear, the Indian Studies chair at Palomar College, set up the display in the
library.
Isabella Ramage, Allison' s mother,
was also a quillwork artist. She taught
her daughter the intricacies of quill-
work. As a child, Allison helped earn
money by selling her quillwork.
Moving to California she put her
traditional Indian artwork on hold
while she studied for a Liberal Arts
degree.
When she married Harold Allison,
the newly weds moved onto 40 acres
of virgin California brush land, near
Murietta Hot Springs. Their house
was built from rock by Mathilda's
own two hands; she built all of the
cabinets, windows, doors and everything necessary to make a home.
Harold still lives in this house and
expects to be there until he dies.
Working with her hands and building her own home brought back remembrances of her Indian tradition.
In 1976 she started her quillwork
again. Once a year, Allison would
return to her ancestral home in Michigan and collect birch bark and sweet
grass. It is easiest to peel the bark off
of the trees in June through August.
The bark is allowed to dry for two
weeks and then is scrubbed with beach
sand. The unscrubbed bark turns a
burnished red. The boxes on display
in the library use the red bark on the
inside and the white bark on the out-
side.
The sweet grass, so known because it maintains its soft sweet smell
after drying, is used to bind the edges
of the birch bark boxes. Allison was
adept at making small, well designed
sweet grass baskets, some of which
she decorated with her quillwork.
4
The Indians from Mathilda's home
village would collect winter porcupine quills for her. The verigated
natural color of the quill from white to
dark brown is used in most of her
designs. Some of the quills she dyed
to form multicolored artwork.
A porcupine has over30,000quills
up tofiveinches long and as thick as
an eighth of an inch. The women
pulled out the quills from the dead
porcupine, sorting them by size, and
washing and drying them.
After the bark is scrubbed and
bleached therightcolor, Allison would
use a leather awl, called a "magoosa"
in the Ottawa language, to punch small
holes. The quills were threaded
through the holes.
"Quillwork was her pride and joy."
explained her husband. "She didn't

scholarship
awarded
This year's Ina Mae Atkinson
Scholarship was awarded to Barbara
Jass, an art education major attending
SDSU, North County.
The Ina Mae Atkinson Scholarship is awarded each year to a North
County re-entry woman. This scholarship was established in 1988 and
was the first one established for SDSU
North County; this year's eligibility
to apply included re-entry women
from CSUSM as well.
The scholarship donor, Marie
Bradley, established this scholarship
to assist women who are not the traditional college age, most of which are
women re-entering the academic setting after having raised families or
having experienced a break in their
college education.
Many of these students are part
time students and financial aid and
other assistance programs are not
always available to them. The schol-

arship is not solely based on financial
need and does not require full time
enrollment
The scholarship is named in
memory of the donor's grandmother
who never had the opportunity to attend college, but was always a motivating and inspirational source from
Bradley, a re-entry student herself. It

If an increased number of students
receive loans, Phillips doesn't anticipate a high rate of default as a consequence. Due to its newness, CSUSM
currently has a default rate of 0 percent. The national rate of students
defaulting on loans is 11 percent, while
the nearby Palomar Community College hovers somewhere around 20
percent.
"Studies show an inverse relationship between how much loan a student takes out and the likelihood to
default," said Phillips.

�CAFFEINE EFFECTS
Studys' results
undetermined
Caffeine is the most widely used
drug in our society. While most of us
consume caffenated beverages, we
rarely stop to consider that we are
actually taking a drug that has powerful physiological effects on multiple
body systems.
There must be some reason why
53 percent of all American adults
drink at least one cup of coffee in the
morning. The reason is caffeine, in
small to modest doses, causes a decrease in drowsiness, a more rapid
reaction time, an increase in mental
acuity and overall feelings and actions consistent with stimulation.
Voluntary muscles under the influence of caffeine are less susceptible to fatigue and there is an enhanced capacity for work. Effects in
the cardiovascular system include an
increase in heart rate, a decrease in
blood flow to the brain and a slight
increase in blood pressure.
As we all know, caffeine increases
the production of urine by the kidneys, and is likely to increase the
volume as well as the level of acidity
in the stomach.
The problem is that even in modest
amounts, caffeine can worsen preexisting medical and physiological
problems. For example, there is evidence that people with pre-existing
anxiety problems, such as panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder,
have a marked increase in symptoms
with even small amounts of caffeine.
In addition, caffeine can increase
symptoms in people with stomach
ulcers and/or the so-called irritable
bowel syndrome. Similarly, caffeine
consumption may be a major contributor to some forms of insomnia.
Excessive, repeated heavy intake
of caffeine can cause persistent feelings of anxiety and tension, irritability and a feeling of inability to handle
stressful situations. It frequently
causes sleep disturbances and often
causes chronic fatigue.

With almost every American talking about the Persian
Gulf, the subject of the media's coverage comes up as a
topic many times. People respond to the heroic coverage
of Cable News Network (CNN), while some ask if the
media has gone too far.
Two main problems seen in the media is the possible
propaganda coming out of Baghdad and American's
strong desire to not be censored. These two complaints
are not the focus of this editorial - propaganda is expected
OUR VIEWS
PIONEER STAFF
Affirmative action may be meritless
General Colin Powell is America's most powerful black due to
his commission as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a position
of enormous prestige. Interestingly, he rose to this pinnacle in a
process that refutes the race relations policies of both the Democratic and Republican parties. In this respect, General Powell's rise
forces use to re-examine our nation's strategy for achieving racial
equality.
General Powell has stated publicly that he joined the service
nearly 40 years ago "to get a job." He readily adds that for blacks at
the time, private sector opportunities were slim due to discrimination. The military, on the other hand, was desegregating faster than
civilian society.
Throughout the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, Powell held the
readiness of courage and intelligence that makes great leaders. The
command's structure of the American military, our nation's first
truly color-blind institution, rewarded his value with recognition
and promotion.
Now he is the chief architect and general manager of America's
most ambitious project since landing men on the moon: the expulsion of Iraq from Kuwait. Already his command is credited for the
Allied's early advantage, while his career is destined for more
greatness.
An important purpose of promoting racial equality throughout
society is to maximize the production of Colin Powell types,
regardless of color. In other words, equal opportunity is good
business for the country, and our costs in lost geniuses alone - much
less other costs - must be stemmed.
But the Colin Powell story illustrated two seemingly contradictory points. Firstly, discrimination must be abolished. Secondly,
affirmative action may be meritless.
Today a disproportionately high percentage of blacks joining
the volunteer services proves that little has changed in civilian
society since General Powell made a likewise decision four decades
ago. There is no better explanation than to admit that economic
opportunity is less available to black America than white America
on a whole. In this respect, the Republican party's continued denial
of racial inequality serves to merely prolong the tragedy.
As stated, military hierarchy was the first beneficiary of desegregation, but the ensuing Political Correctness movement, and its
promotion of affirmative action, was unpersuasive to the Pentagon.
Advancement in the military results from performance primarily,
notauotas.
Liberal policies have not been successful at narrowing the economic chasm between whites and Blacks. The first decade of affirmative action has seenaworseningof all key indicators: the black

ocrats-and black
leaders - cannot blame middle white America for its disenchantment with the tyranny of Political Correctness.
The designed effect of Political Correctness is torighta wrong.
Minorities have suffered under-representation and oppression, and
so a program to counter privileges is established for the underprivileged: hiring quotas, grant and scholarships programs, etc. Unfortunately, this makes minorities dependent on mandated societal reforms to achieve self-improvement. Furthermore, any system based
on racial consciousness can hardly be trusted to achieve anything
but more resentment and division.
It is useful to revisit the military's strident color blindness while
formulating a new solution to racial inequality. Middle-whiteAmerica backlash against affirmative action is rising precisely
because it is sown not to perpetuate a policy of indifference to color
amidst equal opportunity.
While Affirmative action has proven to be counter productive,
opposition to discrimination should remain vigilant/Legitimate
suits must be handled expediently andrigorously,and that warrants
establishing a fast-track legal procedure to hear and try allegations
of unfairness. Bigots must be prosecuted in earnest. We cannot
return to an era of inaction; their problem will not eradicate by
market forces solely.
Public policy deserves periodic review. While most Americans
desire racial harmony, everyone must be willing to honestly examine the effectiveness of the solutions. When a system is not working,
it should be fixed, not maintained in the interest of Political Correctness. This worsens the plight of the people we seek to help.
The plethora or young blacks joining the military proves that
economic opportunities are still unequally distributed, and all indicators of societal advancement verify that the situation is growing
worse, despite decades of affirmative action. Ironically, America's
most powerful black, General Colin Powell, is a product of a colorblind Military establishment Clearly, the correct cure needs to be

War and propaganda go hand in hand, whether it be a
large fight between several countries or a battle between
two people. Sadam Hussein might be the greatest creator
of a large deal of propaganda in all of history.
It's a reporters main goal to determine therightfrom
the wrong, truthfrompropaganda. Peter Arnett, CNN's
Baghdad-based reporter, has been accused of not following these journalism standards. It's Hussein, however,
that prevents Arnettfromseeing both sides of the story,
which hinders him as a journalist.
The censors in Baghdad, too, hinder Arnett as well as
other censors in other Middle East countries as well as the
United States government.
People here are amazingly mad about this is infringing
on their freedom to speech and press. What hypocrite.
Where were they when the Supreme Court revoked that
samerightaway from high school journalists in 1988 or
when the CSU Chancellor's office started their attempt to
prohibit university newspapers from running certain advertisements?
These examples are home town cases where American
support should be; this is where the United States Bill of
Rights has supreme reign. These cases, however, are
nowhere near the problems at hand that has Americans all
aflutter.
It's doubtful that Hussein will follow the provisions
outlined in our constitution, especially since he's not
adhering to the Geneva Convention guidelines that his
country agreed to. It's time to suck in our pride and let the

If there's one thing that could be carried overfromthe
Vietnam war, a conflict that Am erica is not trying to copy,
it is the news coverage. During that war, there were seven
reporters. There are over 700 journalists covering this
battle; even the small local newspapers like the Escondido Times Advocate and the Oceanside Blade Citizen
send reporters to the Persian Guif.
Reporters have always played an integral part in
American society, referred to by some as the fourth
branch of government with its checks and balance capability, but now it must stay out of the way of the U.S.

A THOUGHT:
"Patriotism is the
last refuge of a
scoundrel."
SAMUEL JOHNSON
Inresponse to the staff editorial in the Feb. 5
issue of Pioneer (War protests only harm soldiers), I would like to offer a slightly different
set of points about the conflict in the Persian
Gulf.
They say the first casualty of war is truth, but
the untruths and misconceptions about what is
going on in the Middle East started long before
the war. In fact they started shortly after World
War II, when the British, who up until that time'
had been the occupiers of Palestine decided to
"give" the Israelis a homeland.
I don't think any American in good conscience deny that the Holocaust was one of
history's darkest pages, and that it seemed only
just that these people who had suffered as much
at the hands of Hitler and his henchmen should
have a land of their own where they could feel
safe and do what they needed to do to try and
prevent a repeat of that horror.
The problem was and is that the British just
abandoned the Palestinians, who had no real
defense of their own, and they have been living
as second-class Citizens in what they consider
their own land for over 40 years now.
Yes, but the real issue is Saddam Hussein,
Right? After all, this "lunatic" had the unmitigated gall to take over Kuwait (which incidentally had been separated from Iraq in the first
place by a British oil interest in order to ensure
that the incredibly rich oil fields located in that
region would remain available to the west) and
probably has "Hitleresque" plans to take over
the entire region.
Well, Iran immediately protested to taking
over of Kuwait, as did Egypt, Syria, Saudi
Arabia, and most of the emerate, not to mention
most nations outside the region. Before the
Arab nations and Iran had an opportunity to
react, however, in comes the mighty United
States,fightingfor truth, justice and the American Way, there with the intention to bring stability to the region.
The stability is like throwing a match on a
pile of kindling to ensure stability. It is our
unbelievable ethnocentricity that once again
has got us into a mess. How could we possibly
leave so important a task as dealing with Saddam Hussein's imperialism to the people who
know him best? How could we ever believe that
the knowledge of the indigenous populations
and leaders could know better than us how to
best handle this situation? Well thatrightthere
shows how ignorant they are! What's not to

like? Just because we have allowed Israel to get
away with treating Palestinians the same way
the apartheid government in South Africa treats
Blacks? Well, all of the Palestinians are crazy
terrorists, right? When Israel bombs "terrorist
encampments" in Lebanon (we never question
Israel's definition of what is and isn't a terrorist
encampment; however, it has been verified that
often they are just random groups of Palestinian
civilians) and detains Palestinians in prison for
years without charging them with anything,
that's Okay because they're not like us; they
don't have children they love and have dreams
for, old people they revere and look after, idealistic? young men and women trying to figure a
way to make the world a better place. Oh yes.
Yes they do.
There is no doubt in my mind that the United
States' intervention in the Middle East will
cause problems of such proportion that we will
not see the end of them in our lifetimes. More
and more Arabs are turning away from the
coalition and toward support for Hussein, not
because he is such a great guy, but because he
represents to them the only person of any power
who at least has some understanding of their
needs and wishes.
It never seems to get through to the American
people that even when citizens of other countries have the opportunity to be more like us,
they may not jump at the chance. What most
modern Arabs are looking for is a way to deal
with the modern world, to use technology and
modernization to improve their way of life
without losing their sense of cultural identity.
When the people of many of these countries
look at America, they don't see what we see. We
see waves of amber grain, they see waves of
homeless and poverty stricken people with little
or no health care (Iraqis enjoy 100 percent free
medical services). We see bright, idealistic young
people waiting to make their way in the world,
they see the highest per capita rates of teen
suicide, and a drug and alcohol problem ravaging the nation, from professional people to
innocent babies born drug addicted.
We see ourselves is some sort of ongoing soft
drink commercial, singing and playing games
together and laughing, while they see the highest homicide rate in the world, along with another almost exclusively American phenomenon, serial killers. Who has the most distorted
view of us?
As I sit here and write this, I can feel the
blood of some people boiling. I can hear their

angry voices crying "if she thinks it's so great
over there and so terribleoverhere, why doesn't
she just move over there to Baghdad, and we can
nuke her too (Haw haw haw)."
That's the problem, or one of them, right
there. In the 60s, it was considered unpatriotic to
protest the war; therightsthat we're supposedly
fighting for in Kuwait (which was never anything even close to a democracy, by the way and very anti-western - are not fashionable to
exercise here.
The staff editorial says in effect that while
our men and women arefightingfor therightof
the Kuwaitis, we ought to shut up and not say
anything so as not to offend the troops.
Why is it perfectly Okay for our sons and
lovers, to go to the other side of the world to
fight for the freedoms of the people we neither
understand nor ever paid any mind to, but exercising those same freedoms at home is unacceptable?
This nonsense that the pro-war factions keep
throwing out about "whether you agree with the
war or not, support the troops" makes no sense
whatever. What could be moré supportive than
to work for their safe return, and a sane, negotiated peace?
Wrapping ourselves in the flag and burying
our heads in the sand is the most dangerous
position we can take. That "America, love it or
leave it" attitude is one of the reasons it took so
long to discover we had no winning position in
Vietnam. It's also one of thereasons the Savings
and Loan fiasco hasfinanciallydevastated us,
perhaps irreparably.
And while we are being so high and mighty
about Saddam ' s invasion of Kuwait, why have
we turned back on the Dahli Lama, whose
legitimate government was thrown out of Tibet
by the Chinese many years ago while we conveniently turned our collective heads?
While we bomb the hell out of Baghdad, the
^vhole world is beginning to wonder just what
right we have to our self-appointed moral-police-of-the-world role. Are we such a fine and
shining example of democracy, freedom, and
capitalism at its best? Should we expect the
people of the Middle East, so conformed by
their traditions and faiths, to give them up to
worship the great god BMW as we so often do
here in the West?
Maybe we should allow the Middle East,
Central and South America, and Southeast Asia,
and everywhere else to take care of their own
problems for awhile, while we pay attention to
what isn't so great about America right now.
And when we have made it Okay, when our
young people are staying in school and off
drugs, when our education system is back where
it could be, when we have cared for our homeless and healed our sick, then perhaps we can
start to share our successes with our global coinhabitants in peaceful ways rather than trying
to impose our ideas by force.
When we realize our potential and shine as
an example of peace, care of the planet, tolerance of those different than us, and fiscal responsibility , then we can wrap ourselves in the
flag and feel really good about it.

are a collection of acts that astonish
and baffle the mind.
Four young contortionists start
the circus with poses that would
make anyone cringe with amaze-
ment and pain. Their bodies can
move as though they had no joints
at all.
The acrobats join in activities
from trapezes, to tight ropes to
flyers in a series of acts that threw
their bodies into the air. The turns
and twists of the performers' bodies
easily outnumbers the bodies in the
audience.
Here is where the theme of the
performers is evident: breaking the
rules to make a New Circus.
"Behind each perilous leap, there
is a purpose, an intention, an
individual, an emotion," director
Franco Dragone wrote in the circus'
program.
"Since 1984, we have dealt
primarily with circus acts in a
theatrical context," continued
Dragone. ' The concept has widened. The public will see the
physical theater itself integrated
into the numbers."
Cirque Du Soleil also features a
few performers that are out of the
ordinary in a circus crowd.
Zhao Liang draws the audience's
attention as she commands the
power of umbrellas. At one point,
she balances two umbrellas atop
one another on one foot, and spins
one each on her other foot and both
hands.
i Soviet performer Vassiliy
Demenchoukov catches the viewers' hearts and suspense as he
balances on a total of nine chairs,
stacked on each other. This is done
as he carries a lighted birthday cake,
celebrating Montreal's 350th
birthday.
Theflyersand acrobats, with a
quick costume change, soon
become the stage team. Also known
as the "Corporation," these bellhopclad characters show their skills not
only as performers, but demonstrate
the ability to transform the one-ring

rarely transgresses the audience to

Twenty-two years ago, Vargas

and eight animals. Today, Circus
Vargas has over 400 animal and
human performers and costs $20
million annually to run. It is listed
with the'Guinness Book of World
Records' as the largest traveling big
top.
The tent is 300 feet long and
towers four stories high. It is
constructed of 90,000 square feet of
fabric weighing more than 17 tons,
24,478 feet of cable and rope and
485 stakes. What the tent lacks is
sufficient heating. Dress warmly on
a cool night or expect to freeze.
Below the big top, acts of all

4,000 in the cold anticipating what

The show, starts in the center ring
with Wayne Ragen and his big cats.
Ragen seems to have a rapport with
the creatures as he commands them
to roll over and perform tricks. The
hoop of fire is humanely substituted
with as hoop of red lights and no
intimidating whip snaps.
The big cats act, however, is too
humane to be of much excitement.

reality.
The U.S.-born performer travels
with the Cirque Du Soleil, a Montreal-based touring pi reus. Although
his physical capabilities don't allow
him to leap across the stage like his
fellow acrobats, Shiner's character
becomes the continuing focus
throughout the show and conveys
the theme in a way only a clown
can tell.
Not long after the circus begins,
Shiner's clown emerges. He's
dressed in a common American
suit, slightly altered to fit a clown
but still neutral in color. His dream:
to join the bright and vibrant cast of
the "flounes," his French counterpart.
In some scenes, he proves his
worth to the audience. In others, he
tries to communicate with his
foreign friends.
In both instances, the audience
can relate. A clown isn't a clown
unless he makes people laugh; and,
the audience shares his communication difficulties with the French
ensemble.
His nameless clown can never be
a convincing face in the crowd, and
the audience finds this funny.
"My clown is tragic, neurotic,
and at the same time he makes you
laugh with his jacket sleeves and
pant legs that are just a little too
short," said Shiner. "He's a true
anarchist, violating the social rules
and conventions that define what a
person is."
The American clown does join
the cast of Cirque Du Soleil, but
only after a transformation. That
transition is not to be revealed here.

Ambassador of Good Will, traveling all over the U.S. bringing joy
and laughter to children of all ages.
"I've been clowning for 25
years," says Marty. The last six of
those have been with Circus
Vargas.
Marty says the real joy of performing in front of large audiences
comes from seeing the faces of
happy children. Even on days when
he doesn't feel in the spirit of
clowning, he says the children bring
him back in the mood.
"It's energizing when kids cheer
you on," he says.
Marty is probably one of the
busiest clowns in America, performing seven days a week, 48
weeks a year, entertaining at
schools, church groups, hospitals,
malls, parades and benefits. His act
combines magic, baffling buffoonery, balloon animals and face
painting.
A theme Marty stresses to all
children, is that using drugs can be
dangerous.
"I tell them that clowning around
with drugs is not funny," he says.
Marty says he's always ready to
spend the 45 minutes necessary to
put on his greasepaint and costume.
He's been seen on Good Morning America, Bozo the Clown
Show, Totally Hidden Video,
Romper Room and L.A. Kids
among other programs.
Marty is also scheduled to
appear in 'Autobahn', an upcoming
motion picture starring Dom

A circus wouldn't be complete
without clowns. In essence, all
performers are clowns, delivering
joy and happiness to all who watch.
Those who get the privilege of
creating laughter, are classified by
the French;as "flounes."
The flounes have their own
language, neither French nor
English, but it is understood by all.
They perform music, throw things
at one another or at the spectators
— occasionally throwing members
of the audience — and always bring
a smile to their viewers.
It is said that the flounes get their
nourishment from costumes,
makeup, and masks. If true, then
they are on one weird diet.
"They move, breathe, and
express themselves as a single
character without the members
losing their individuality," said
Werner Straub, designer of the
flounes' superb masks.
Together with their fellow
performers of Cirque Du Soleil, the
flounes make you want to run away
and join the circus.

the circus to the height of its ability.
The infamous triple-flip, thought by
many to be among the most
dangerous of trapeze stunts, was
performed by two separate acrobats
simultaneously in two separate
rings.
By far the best part of the show
was the dog act. The furry little

CIRCUS
International troupes tour area
to give universiality to old art
For fun and excitement, few things
compare with the fast-paced action of a
circus. February and March offer an exciting
entourage of three circuses for those who love
to watch death-defying acts of skill and
courage.
More importantly, the circus experience
has become an international event, with
troupes from Montreal and the Soviet Union.
These two circuses are known for their
acrobatic excellence as well as their abilities
to captivate an audience.
So steprightup and focus your attention
on the centerring.The circus has come to
town.
In accordance with one of the oldest and
most popular of circus traditions, Circus
Vargus will raise the world's largest big top
tent in several San Diego locations through
Feb. 25.
Circus Vargus' all-new 22nd Edition features over 400 international performers and
animals in a $20 million production. The twohour extravaganza features 10 elephants,
tigers, chimpanzees, two flying trapeze
troupes, the Wheel of Death, and of course,
clowns.
Two cities remain on Circus Vargus' San
Diego tour. The big top opens it's show
tonight in El Cajon at the Cajon Speedway,
just west of Broadway off Highway 67, and
runs through Feb. 21. The Del Mar Fairgrounds will host the circus next, starting Feb.
22.
The public is invited to witness the raising
of the football-field sized tent, nearly four
stories high, at 10:30 a.m. on every opening
day. The elephants, led by Colonel Joe,
America's largest performing elephant, and
other animals will be on display and a clown
will be on hand to serve refreshments to the
children.
Those looking for extra work are invited to
help raise the circus tent for a nominal fee.
Job-seekers should arrive at the circus site at '
6 a.m. on the day of the first performance.
Listed in the Guinness Book of World
Records, Circus Vargus' big top is the largest
traveling big-top circus in the world. Founder
Clifford Vargus used this Italian-made tent
when Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey
Circus was forced to take down their tent and
move indoors in 1976 due to escalating costs.
When Circus Vargus travels through San
Diego, a giveaway is being offered that would
excite the green-thumbers and disinterest others.
It's well-known among those folks who
are savvy about gardening that elephants
manure is a mineralrichfertilizer. With the
true philanthropic spirit, the Circus Vargus
elephants are going to do their bit to contribute to the cause.
The production line starts immediately
upon arrival at each location, and there will
be no shortage of freshly produced product.
The public is invited to arrive with shovels
and bags in hand - their sense of smell will
lead them to therightspot - and help themselves to as much as they want of "Pachyderm Power."
Circus Vargus allows seconds on all days
following opening day at each location.
A carnival with game booths and attractions is also offered with each performance of
the circus. Fun-seekers can view the House of
Giant Reptiles, ride a pony or an elephant,
and play carnival games. A refreshment booth
also serves hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy
and drinks.
Tickets for the circus, which includes all
events except the carnival, range from $8.50
to $16.50 with discounts for children. Ticket
prices at Del Mar will be slightly higher to
incorporate a 10 percent admission tax.
Tickets are on sale at the Flower Hill Mall
in Del Mar, the Escondido Village Mall,
Ticketmaster and at the Circus. For more
information, call 259-7714.
In May of 1990, Cirque du Soleil
launched it 1990-91 North American Tour
with a brand new show called "Nouvelle
Experience."
In 1991, this French circus remains on
the West Coast for a few months. After
playing in San Diego for a two week run,
Cirque will set up its blue and yellow big
top tent in Coast Mesa from Feb. 22 to
March 9. This Orange County performance
will be in the South Coast Plaza parking area.
"Nouvelle Experience" is an international
extravaganza with attractions from China,
Europe, North America and the Soviet Union.
For the first time this century, the Soviet
National Circus, Soyuzgoscirk, has allowed
its artists to perform with a non-soviet circus.

Since the start of their tour, Cirque du
Soleil has been travelling across North
America with a new Big Top, in the familiar
colors. More comfortable and spacious, it
holds an audience of 2,499 spectators.
"Cirque du Soleil redefines the meaning of
circus/' said director Franco Dragone. "It
combines theatric elements such as sophisticated lighting, brilliant costuming, and
original jazz/rock score and creative choreography, with traditional circus elements and the
excitement and spontaneity of street performance."
Audiences in Montreal, Seattle, San
Francisco, San Jose, Santa Monica and San
Diego enthusiastically welcomed Cirque du
Soleil's new production which attracted
crowds at a record setting pace, reaching
more than half a million spectators in seven
months.
Tickets are available through the Cirque du
Soleil box office at 284-1286 or through
Ticketmaster at 278-8497. General admission
for the performance is $27.
Tickets are also on sale for the all-new
1990-91 edition of the Moscow Circus. The
Soviet performers will be at the San Diego
Sports Arena for nine shows March 13-17.
Featuring thefinestperformers in the
Soviet Union, the cast was chosen from more
than 6,000 performers in 137 Russian
circuses.
The show stars 10 aerial artists, the Flying
Cranes, whose act combines a quadruple
somersault and other daring moves with the
choreography of a ballet. Other acts include
the Zolkins and their three juggling bears,
tightrope artists, clowns and the Cossack
horsemen.
Tickets are $20, $17.50 and $12.50, with

Artist draws on innocence
PEBBiE PUFFY/PIONEER
Upon entering the room where David
Ghirardi's art work is displayed, one can
imagine observing these pieces within a
museum instead of an art gallery.
Each of his pieces seems to have come
directly from an ancient Egyptian Tomb.
However, once one looks closely at the work,
one begins to discover modern themes and
material. Ghirardi, as elusive as his art work,
chooses to present his art simply and allow
the viewer to make the decision of what he or
she thinks about the piece.
For over 11 years, Ghirardi has been
creating his own form of art by constructing
"an upside down cake" of plastic, rubber,
metals, enamels and oxides. These ingredients, assembled upon a plate of glass, are then
covered with wet cement When the cement
dries, the plate of glass is removed and the
"cake" is alive with color, texture, and
feeling.
Powerful in form, these pieces of art by
Ghirardi speak to the viewer. While not
exactly making a clear, concise declaration,
the implied statement and impressions that
Ghirardi's art forms generate compel the
viewer to examine and explore the works.
One of the most fascinating and absoibing
pieces of art work by Ghirardi is named
"Afterglow." Even ¿hough the theme is not
explicitly stated, one can recognize the shape
of a large 1950s style beanie and almost
discern playful yellow shapes resembling
children running around the entire shape of
the beanie.
Outside the realm of the beanie are two
large, red drops. Within the pattern of the
beanie, is a "subtext" of crowded pictures

containing shapes of cars, buses, modern
buildings and a male figure with a shirt and
tie implanted into the cement and covered
with plastic.
The picture "subtext" inside the beanie is
small and seemingly unimportant; however,
this implanted group seems to be growing
inside ¿he beanie, ready to overpower it.
Possibly representing innocence, the beanie is
losing parts of itself to the modern, grown-up
world that is within it.
The two large drops of red paint could
represent the pain of lost innocence through
modernization, industrialization, and even
adulthood, the "Afterglow" of childhood.

emotional and intellectual pensiveness. Their
messages must be heard and interpreted by
each viewer.
It is exhilarating to find an artist like
Ghirardi who successfully blends modern
material and universal themes into original
pieces of a rt Moreover, the most interesting
challenge with Ghirardi*s art is the discovery
of the thesis and the unravelling of the
meaning of his art work.
If you wish to view a type of art that is
challenging, unique and original, then take a
trip to David Lewison Gallery at the Del Mar
Plaza, 1555 Camino Del Mar, and behold the
magnificent pieces of art by artist David
Ghirardi.
Clarice Starling was 13-years-old when she
went to live at her uncle's sheep and horse farm.
She awoke one night to the awful screaming of

serial killer, named Buffalo Bill, who is now
killing young women and skinning their backs,

Gibson surprising
in Hamlet' role
S hakespeare
l ives f or a ll
CHARIS SCANLON/PIONEER
When imagining iheperfectrole
for tough, sexy and often hilariously funny Mel Gibson, just about
the last thing to come to mind
would be Shakespeare's notoriously challenging role of Hamlet,
the indecisive, yet enduring Prince
of Denmark.
One wonders what Director
Franco Zeffirelli could possibly
have been thinking about. Elizabethan Drama meets Lethal
Weapon? Literature and drama
connoisseurs the world over let out
a collective groan of disbelief,
imagining the Bard himself rolling
over in his tomb.
It was with some surprise, and
much delight, that I discovered
that the combination of Mel and
the Renaissance couplets made for
a memorable performance.
Gibson's expressive rendition
of the lead role is subtly charming,
never overplayed and has the per-
fect mixture of fatal indecision
and sympathetic pathos.
Glenn Close, in the role of the
Queen, is quite simply stunning.
The Madness scene, featuring relative newcomer Helen BonhemCarter ('Lady Jane'} as a lovely
Ophelia, was riveting, moving
many in the audience to tears.
In today's market of MTV-attention spans and excessive,
graphic violence, will people pay
to sec a four-hundred-year-old
play?
Apparently they will, if it contains Mel Gibson. Since its wide
release two weeks ago,4 Hamlet'
has enjoyed stunning ticket sales.
What Zeffirelli has done here is
combined a good old-fashioned
story with fantastic cinematography and wonderful personalities,
making the audience exit the theaters with smiles on their faces.
The result is a Shakespeare that
speaks to the audience without the
necessity for subtitles.
Bill, who wrote his plays for
people to see, not for English
scholars to argue about, most likely
feels that all is justfinein the state
of Denmark.

a final confrontation with a vicious killer.
Foster is a consummate pro. This is a different role that, in
someone clses interpretations, would have come off as just
another tough chick. Like Sigourncy Weaver in the 4Aliens'
series, Foster proves that a woman can aptly carry a suspense
thriller.
Anthony Hopkins, as Lector, is also a wonder to watch. His
savagery is unquestionable, playing a dangerous cat and mouse
game with Starling's mind and career.
The plot unfolds slowly, building up the suspense like a
pressure cooker. 'The Silence of the Lambs' makes you squirm,
knowing that something terrible is about to happen, but not letting
you in on what it is.
