CSU San Marcos, Haynes
preparing for transition
By JONATHAN RODLEY
Co-Editor
"Very busy, but very positive" — that
is how Dr. Karen S. Haynes' days have
been since she started her campaign f or the
CSUSM presidency.
From Texas to San Diego to Long Beach,
back to San Diego, then to Texas again. "I
haven't had much time to think of all the next
steps," Haynes said.
She's been writing to-do lists for the sev-
eral past weeks, but said she hasn't started
anything yet.
Making the transition from Houston to San
Marcos, finding a place to live, will she buy
a house or just rent? She said those are the
things on her mind lately.
Having to move is nothing new for her.

CSU focuses on alcohol safety
ByCHADSPINKS
Pride StaffWriter
As part of an ongoing effort by
administration and the CSU system to
promote alcohol awareness, the Clarke
Field House will be conducting a
Responsible Host training seminar Dec.
5 at noon, focusing on alcohol safety: an
issue of concern with the first year of on
campus housing.
A fter the drinking related death of Cal
State Chico student, Adrian Heideman,
in Oct. 2000, the CSU system sought
revisions in the alcohol policy of all
campuses. Shortly after, the Substance
Abuse Advisory Council was formed at
CSUSM.
Susan Mitchell, who was a member of
the Substance Abuse Advisory Council
when it formed, said that the CSU board
of trustees disseminated information

Lobby Corps continues tofightfor CSUSM students
By JONATHAN RODLEY
Co-Editor
Associate Students, Inc. (ASI)
sent their Lobby Corps to Fullerton earlier this month where students from almost all 23 campuses
in the California State University
(CSU) system gathered to discuss
issues like raising tuition fees and
shared governance in the CSU.
"It's a lot of hard work—it's not
a vacation," said Erik Roper, vice
president of external affairs for
ASI.
Roper and three other members
of ASI traveled to Cal State Fullerton to represent the 414,000
students in the CSU system.
With student fees raising over
30 percent this semester, the
Lobby Corps promised to fight for
lowering student fees.
The Lobby Corps must "articulate compelling reasons for not
raising fees," Roper said.
He said that the CSU broke their
promise to not raise fees over 10
percent in a year. Now the CSSA
must work with other groups like
the University of California (UC)
system.
He said the California constitution must be changed to protect students from excessive fee
increases. Gov. Schwarzenegger
will fund the school systems Janu-
ary 2004 so the race is on for the
Lobby Corps.
The Lobby Corps promotes
student welfare by influencing
law making in California, and
working with the CSU Board of
Trustees. The 25 members of
the Board of Trustees manage the
CSU system.
The Lobby Corps works to
hammer out kinks in the CSU
system.
The students find what's wrong
with the system, discuss it at California State Student Association
(CSSA) conferences, and then
lobby at state legislative meetings

The campus reaction
At CSUSM students, faculty and staff
have personal views reserved for the
oncoming president.
The university Provost, Robert Sheath
said he has two main expectations for the
president. One is that she needs to lead
the campus forward as a well functioning collégial team. Second, he expects
her to continually improve the schools
standing in the community and improve
community relationships.
"Based on her experience at University of Houston — Victoria, she is well
positioned to do both of these," Sheath
said. "She showed all the attributes that
we would want in a president "
Sheath said he likes her philosophy to
seek to understand and then be understood.
"I hope all sectors of the campus can
get behind her and support her and move
us forward," Sheath added.
CFA President for CSUSM George
Diehr said he hopes Haynes will work
with faculty in a "cooperative and collégial fashion."
Diehr said he doesn't want her to have
any preconceived notions about faculty
workloads at CSUSM.
"I hope she takes a hard look at the
objective data that shows faculty at San
Marcos have a heavier student load than
faculty at most of our sister campuses,"
he said. "She should also appreciate that
we spend about $7 million less on our
faculty salaries and benefits than other
CSU campuses of our size."
Diehr said he wants to establish regular meetings with her and is concerned
about her adherence to the Budget
Supplemental Report Language.
"Let's just see what happens," he said.
Honey Folk, ASI president, said the
environment at CSUSM is directly
related to the president.
She said the president should be open,
honest and willing and provide access to
education.
"It's time to bring about the reality of
the mission of the CSU," Folk said.
Folk explained that CSUSM has a
campus culture that values shared governance.
"We demand to be included into the
decision making process," she said. "I
am very, very excited about having the
opportunity during my term as president
to participate in the selection of the university president, and to have influence
which sets the tone for her future interaction with all students."

Assessing perception
of alcohol and drug
usage at CSUSM
Assessing the extent of the problem on
campus was one recommendation.
The council administered the Core
survey in the spring of 2002 to 3000
students, of which 585 responded. "The
results show that Cal State San Marcos is
below the national average for alcohol use,"
said Mitchell.
#
The four page survey; developed by the
Core institute if Illinois, covers a wide range
of issues regarding alcohol and substance
abuse. Questions were asked concerning
how students perceive drug and alcohol use
among peers, and how students have been

�Tutoring and assistance on campus
ByMARKPERRERA
Pride StaffWriter
Students have a wealth of resources at
their fingertips for academic assistance.
From the College Republicans to Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, club members have an
outstanding network system that provides
for various forms of assistance and support. Students not affiliated with any clubs
or organizations also have a wealth of
resources around campus.
Doctor Robin Keehn is the head of the
"Writing Center" located in CRA 3106-1
in the library courtyard. The writing lab
provides services to approximately 200
students weekly. This is a facility for
everyone. Students of all stages of writing
from brainstorming to thesis constructing
and outlining argumentative paper are welcome at the Writing Center. The tutors are
all trained and must take and successfully
pass (LTWR 525) before they can work at
the center. This ensures quality service to
the students. There is approximately 36
personnel on staff. Although walk-ins are
welcome, staff members suggest making
an appointment. Their hours of operation
are Monday-Thursday 8:30am- 6:00 pm.
Friday 8:30am-3:00pm. For additional
information call, 760-750-4168 or visit is
www.csus.edu/writing-center.
The Math Center is located in the same
building as the writing center. Maureen
DuPont is the coordinator. 16 tutors service approximately 3,000 students per
semester. The Math Center provides academic support, tutoring, and assistance to
undergraduate students. It helps prepare
students for the California Basic Skills

Test, CBEST, and Entry Level Mathematics, ELM. The center also provides
services to instructors whereby they can
send their students over to take quizzes.
Instructors can also check out the training aid tools and equipment to use in their
classroom. It is best to make an appointment vs. walking in although you will
receive service either way. To contact the
Math Center call 760450-4122.
The computer lab is also resourceful and
used by students daily. Yale Kim supervises the staff that runs the lab. Their
hours of operations are Mon.-Thurs 6:
30am- 100:00pm, Fri 6:30 am- 6:00pm,
Sat 8:00am- 6:00pm and Sun 12:00am- 6pm. The staff will provide assistance with

Music at CSUSM
uniting art and technology
ByALEXROSAIJNO
Pride StaffWriter
"This is the technology
centerpiece of our music
discipline" said Professor
Bill Bradbury about the
electronic music lab, which
is also a state of the art
recording studio.
The
Visual

Performing
Arts
department has fun and upto-date disciplines that are
unfortunately sometimes
overlooked by students at
Cal State San Marcos.
The VPA building is
located between the Science
2 and the University Hall
buildings. Even though this
is a relatively new school
the facilities and equipment
are up to speed.
Something students may
not know is that there are
practice rooms where any
student may play the piano,
for free. If students want
to learn how to play the
piano, classes are available.
The VPA department offers
courses in just about any
art subject you can think of.
The disciplines are broken
down into the following:
arts and technology track,
music track, visual arts
track, theatre track and arts
and education track.
Within these tracks, they
are able to integrate cultural
arts and styles from around
the world.
The program is very
hands on and theoretical,
according to the VPA
website.
There is a Javanese
Gamelan
Ensemble,
which teaches students
in an organized manner,
how to play the different
instruments of Indonesia.
This class mentions when
music is played and for
what reasons, such as
dances and drama. This
class may be repeated four
times. Within the classroom

Sand whistling in the wind,
caravans of vehicles heading east

are all tell-tale signs that desert

For decades the people of San

Whether it's to ride quads, bikes,

make the trip to traverse their
off-highway vehicles across the

�Television warps our brains
By TIM JOHNSON
Pride StaffWriter
By NICOLE SULLIVAN
Pride StaffWriter
$300, this sucks. These were the exact words I
uttered in frustration after getting off the phone
with my insurance company. On Saturday I walked
out to my car to find a huge dent in my front fender
and no note.
Supposedly, there weren't any witnesses. So, no
one heard grinding metal? Or saw pieces of metal
and plastic on the ground? Or someone fleeing the
scene? I guess not because there was no note.
It's called morals, a conscience, even a heart.
We are instilled since we are little, if we make a
mistake then we have to take the heat. So why is
this any different?
Statistics show that only 10 percent of people
actually leave a note when they hit another car.
So this guy or gal who hit my car, says by his
actions, "yeah well, sorry for ya," and bails. Is this
fair? Is it fair that aomeone should suffer the loss of
possessions, property, a family member, on behalf
of someone's ignorance?
No absolutely not! It is not fair.
I have come to a conclusion in all this, adults
are just older, bigger kids. We do the very thing
we tell kids not to do by not acknowledging our
mistakes.
Even though I'm venting, I am not worriedyeah I'm forking out 300 bucks now, but all I can
say is what comes around goes around.
On that same note, another quote comes to mind,
do unto others as you would have them do unto
you.
* I am not saying that this person who hit my car
will come out tomorrow tofindtheir car all banged
up, no. What I am saying is that in some way or
another if we do something that screws another
fellow man out of something, than there will be
consequences.
I am just thankful that my car is driveable, that I
wasn't hurt, and that I still have the car in my possession.
I hope this article can instill appreciation in all
our lives for the things that we do have. As for me,
I will pay the $300 deductible and carry on with
life.

You may not know it, but
our lives are being controlled
by a box.
It is a box that portrays
images and pictures of things
that consume our minds. This
box tells us what to buy, wear,
and how to act in certain
situations.
This box is television — it
provides us with entertainment
while it warps our brains.
I find that when I turn on
the television, I spend most
of the time flipping through
the channels. I rarely find
something that I watch from
beginning to end. That is
because it is hard to find
something worth watching.

As we reach thefinalstretch for
this semester, the pressure begins
to build as term papers and final
exams loom on the horizon. Now
is the time where we try to pull
the whole semester together and
prove that we have learned from
the lectures and studying. After
we reach that frenzied peak, after
the last paper is written and the
last final completed, then we can
finally relax and reflect on the
O mbudsman's N otes
accomplishment of having completed another semester.
To those who are graduating
at the end of this semester, those
last papers and finals represent
something sweeter. If there are
no plans for furthering their education, fall graduates can look
upon these papers and finals as
the last vestiges of educational
scrutiny for now they have their
degree and are can move confi-
dently into the world.
If they plan to proceed with
their education, fall graduates
can face the spring semester as
the beginning of that journey.
With a shorter break between fail
and spring, it is an easier jump
into the post baccalaureate realm
for the fall graduate. Most of all,
it is just having the degree that
matters to all students and the
fall graduate enjoys that honor
with a bit of uniqueness.
I would like to end this column
with some words on feedback. I
have received feedback ranging
from constructive criticism to
juvenile ravings. I truly appreciate both styles, but I have a
request. If «The Pride" causes
some of you a great deal of pain
to read, then please suggest what
we can do to alleviate this pain.
It is not our intention to instill a
malaise upon the campus. Let me
know what we can do better. Our
goal is to cover stories that relate
to our campus and our community. If we have failed in this task
or have not exploited all story
possibilities, I want to know
what we need to do to improve
this paper for next semester
and into the future. The email

C hallenging t he n o-alcohol a ds a t C SUSM
ByMDCEDOLAN
Pride Ombudsman
Alcohol is a substance that permeates
not only our culture in America, but also
the cultural fabric of the world. The purpose of this brief argument is to provide
another consideration to the posters and
mouse pads on campus that reflect the
results of the Core survey.
Used readily as both sustenance and
in celebration, alcohol came to America
with the first settlers in the seventeenth
century. Indeed, psychologist Jeffery A.
Schaler explains in his book, "Addiction is
a Choice," that "Puritan ministers praised
alcohol but denounced drunkenness."
With that in mind, it is curious to
consider the dichotomy that alcohol has
become, how it has gone from being
"praised" by ministers to the double edged
sword of being revered as a social tool and
at the same time despised for its destructive effects and its ease of abuse.
It is clear that alcohol has an acceptance
in our society that far exceeds any other
mind-altering substance.
Alcohol advertisements pervade the
pages of magazines, commercials on television and billboards along the highways.
Compared to tobacco, which had similar
commercial appeal before its dangers
were discovered and exploited, alcohol has
emerged as the new champion of recreational intoxicants.
However, despite the commercial appeal
and the common usage of alcohol, there is
a darker element to alcohol.
Drunkenness is not a desirable quality to
society. But drunkenness is an inevitable
consequence of readily accessible alcohol.
What constraint does society impose on
the individual in order to avoid drunkenness?
Society would dictate that ultimately
the individual is accountable for his or
her actions including the responsibility
to avoid consuming alcohol in excess. It
is here that alcohol's negativity becomes
cloudy because if it is the individual's
responsibility to regulate his or her own
alcohol consumption, then how is it that
there is a societal conception that an alcoholic drinks without self control?
Schaler offers this explanation, "Voluntary human action is ultimately under
conscious control . .. distinguished from
an unconscious reflex or seizure, which is
involuntary."
Schaler is correct, human's think about
their voluntary movements. Therefore,
this is only one explanation for a drinkers'
behavior -— it is a conscious, voluntary
action, which is their responsibility.
It is not alcohol that controls humans;
rather it is humans' irresponsibly using
alcohol that sparks this negativity with
results such as the Temperance Movement,
Prohibition, and Alcoholics Anonymous.
Here is another consideration to the posters and mouse pads on campus that reflect
the results of the Core survey.
These results are accurate-numerically,
but imply a connotation that limited alco-
hol use by CSUSM students is favorable.
The results are presented in a manner of
influence which is similar to peer-pressure
in the sense that the majority numbers are
designed to instill self-doubt in those who
are in the minority.
Statistics are good for objective fact,
but at an institute of higher learning and
in this presentation, these statistics appear
simplistic.
Alcohol cannot be presented as a substance that somebody uses or does not use.
With a substantial influence interwoven
into the cultures of the world, alcohol use
involves factors both internal and external that cannot be quantified by a simple
survey.
It is, therefore, naive to assume that
the complexities of alcohol or the alcohol
consumption by college students can be
explained by the Core survey.
It would likewise be a stretch to assume
that college students would not challenge
the results.

"We're excited to be building a relationship with such a young school. We hope to
offer a lot of the movies we showcase in the
festivals in your video library." Lee Ann
Kim said Wednesday night at the reception for the presenters from the Mini Asian
Film Festival.
Kim, a local San Diego news anchor and
the Executive Director for the Sand Diego
Asian Film Foundation (SDAFF) beamed
with joy and exuberance during the reception following the festival. She said that she
is still working with KGTV but, "this is
really my passion", working with the passionate group of artists and administrative
staff at the SDAFF.
It is easy to see why Kim is so passionate
about what she does. The films shown at
this recent festival: The six-minute "Vision
Test", 10-minute "Dragon of Love", and 16
minute 3-D animated film, "Eternal Gaze,"
had poignant messages, unique artistic
angles, and messages that linger in the
memory as you walk away from the show.
The documentary "Refugee" shown
Wednesday, November 19, was 63 minutes
long. The director, Spencer Nakasako, is
an Emmy award winner. Nakasako has
been traveling around the United States to
different film festivals sharing this piece.
Through this documentary he gives a fly

cal. Each allowed a look at racial issues
through different lenses.
The first, "Vision Test", was taken from
the results of a phone survey which asked
a variety of questions dealing with racial
preference including who you would feel
more comfortable with as president, for a
boss, a wife for your son.
"Dragon of Love" was a laugh out loud
look at the exoticism of races and the
expectations that arise in a biracial relationship.
Viewing the 16 minute 3-D animation
love child of director San Chen, also the
Artistic Programmer for SDAFF, was a
flash into another time, another person's
mind and love for the art of creation.
This film is an example of how "technology is empowering film makers like
m yself' Chen said in an interview after the
production.
Working for three years with a variety of
programs for one, two, and three-dimeiisional affects, Chen produced a black and
white masterpiece, a dramatic cartoon
delievered through artistic poetry in "Eternal Gaze".
The films presented by the San Diego
Asian Film Foundation are thought provoking, humorous, and challenge the standards
set in cinema that consumes cinematic productions around the county. After viewing
these three films and documentary I know
it will be an adjustment to acclimate to the
standards of Hollywood after entertaining
the amusing, charming, and provocative
methods used by creators and directors
featured by the SDAFF.
Urban Bush WomenTeaching at CSUSM

Prick StaffWriter
On Tuesday the 11th, the famous
Urban Bush Women, Maria Bauman
from Queens New York, Reverend Nia
Eubanks from New Orleans, and Nora
Chipaumire from Brooklyn New York
taught a dance class at CSUSM.
The previous day, on November 10th'
they had given a performance excerpt
from one of their famous works entitled
"Hair Stories". Hair Stories is a performance about hair, and how it relates to
personal, and social images of the way
that we interpret beauty, class, and our
own sense of self-worth.
After having seen the performance,
students seemed excited to be able to
learn a dance from the Urban Bush
Women themselves, and eagerly moved
out onto the dance floor. With energy
and style Reverend Eubanks lead the
class, while Bauman, and Chipaumire
helped to show students how to move.
Reverend Eubanks began the class by
allowing the students to introduce themselves to each other. She taught students
a call and response method from Ghana,
Africa. She would call out "Ago", meaning "are you listening?" and the students
would respond by shouting back "Ame"',
which means, "Yes I am!"
While warming up, students were
shown how to make a "chalice" of
energy over their heads, then were told
to release that energy by bringing their
hands slowly back down the sides of

their bodies. Eubanks had them bring
their hands up to the front of the room,
and say, "I offer peace, I offer love". As
the warm-up became more complex, she
encouraged students by telling them that
they were doing a good job, and reminded
them to smile, and have f un. She encouraged them to let go, and move without
inhibitions, and at orie point called out
