It's time to fight the thirteen-unit restriction
see the injustice of t his situation. We are p aying more,
and getting less. If the school
is not going t o stick to these
goals, maybe it is time to
reevaluate them and be honest
about the fact that the student,
the teacher, and the quality of
education are not a priority.
The email o ffhandedly mentions that this is supposed to
help classes. But t his is only a
t emporary solution to a growing problem. When I was a
f reshman, I did not sign up f or
these cutbacks or expect that
my campus would so easily
discard my desire to l earn.
On the CSUSM homepage,
our school claims to b e "Roaring into Our 20s." T his must
be some kind of j oke. Sure,
i t's a milestone, but t here is
not much t o celebrate if a fter
twenty years the school is cutting back on student p rogress.
Now is the t ime to get
involved and make s omething
happen f or the better. It is t ime
to ask of our elected ASI o fficials t o f ight for the s tudents,
like they promised us d uring
the elections. Every person
can get involved by signing up
at www.savecsusm.org, where
we can rally together to show
that we care.
If we let these l imits walk
all over us, it is going t o keep
happening. Those behind them
are going to keep cutting back
because they know they can.
It is t ime to get our heads out
of the sand. We cannot be the
change our f uture needs if we
cannot get a decent education.
you can do, two things, either or
both of which will definitely make
you a happier person and each of
which take very little time.
First, keep a gratitude journal. A couple of times each week
(put these on your weekly calendar), take two minutes and write
down 5 things that you feel grateful for at that moment. They can
be anything from thè most trivial
(like this weather or that bagel),
to your feelings about the people
who have loved you, to your deepest feelings about God or nature.
Write down 5 things, and as you
do, try to actually feel the sense
of good fortune and gratitude for
each of them. That's it! Simple!
Second, if you want to try something really powerful, think of one
person that you feel very grateful to for being in your life, now
or in the past. Write a one-page
letter to that person, thanking the
person for what s/he has meant
And when you do think about to you. Tell him/her specifically
these things, and try to picture that why you feel grateful to him/her
person or thing vividly, you might and how lucky or blessed you feel

into it, even if it feels "corny" or
So here's what the research says "lame." Then, at some point if
you can possibly do so, read the
letter out loud to that person. If
you can't do it face to face, do it
on the phone. Guarantee: you will
both feel wonderful!
So there you go, two simple
exercises. Try either one or both.
Amazingly, even doing a gratitude
journal entry a couple of times a
week will, I'm positive, make you
a happier person.
Counseling Services here at Cal
State are available to all students
at no charge. You don't have to
have a 'mental illness' to see us.
Many students come when they
are struggling with the common
stresses of college life, especially
when these are 'getting in the
way'. Many students use our services as an opportunity to learn
more about themselves and grow
as people. Confidential conversations with a professional can be
a special opportunity to be completely honest with yourself with
someone who won't judge you and
who will strive to support your
happiness and success. If you
would like to make an appointment, call 750-4910.

extra $624 we all had to pay,
and the cutbacks made in
class time, we have to bear
the burden of a f ailing economy by letting our education
s uffer.
The only thing more distressing than these cutbacks
is the lack of outcry I have
seen f rom students. Unless I

I cannot f ind a reason why

Campus holds celebration for sponsors of
new Social and Behavioral Sciences building
BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON
Pride Staff Writer
On Sept. 24, 2009, local dignitaries and campus benefactors-gathered in the framework
of what will be the new Social
and Behavioral Sciences building to sign a decorative beam.
Vice President of University Advancement, Neal Hoss,
thanked the signers for their
contributions and said that the
beam "will be on permanent
display" in the building once
construction is complete.
Karen Haynes, University
President said, "It is particu-
larly noteworthy that even in
these d ifficult fiscal times,
we were able to convince our
system to provide us through
the bond money with f unding
to move this project forward."
Both speakers mentioned
the need for more f unding as
well as describing the honor
roll and naming o pportunities within the building for all
sponsors.
Vivian Bennett represented
the Social and Behavioral Sciences Faculty. She said faculty
in her department "empower
citizens by teaching them critical thinking about the common
good," and a new building for
them will benefit the campus
and surrounding community.
Chris Devers, chairman of
the Pauma Band of Luiseno
Indians, reminded attendees,
"This i s Luiseno land," and
he hoped the building would

THE PRIDE
Matt Haimovitz
BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
Classical music's reputation
precedes the genre. We've all
heard of the Mozart effect. Studies show that Mozart's compositions administered in daily
doses boosts a child's developing intellect. Beethoven allegedly enhances creativity. And
best of all, according to the
Francis Payne Bolton School of
Nursing in Cleveland, listening
to Vivaldi post-op will actually promote healing and patient
wellbeing.
Current musical stylings like
hip-hop and the endless variants
of rock do little to advance relaxation or IQs. Besides, the only
classical music present in the 21st
century seems to be snippets of
Debussy's Claire de Lune or an
abridged version of J.C. Bach's
Cello Suite No. 1 in car commercials (travesty, I know).
So, knowing how beneficial
classical composition seems
to be, why aren't there modern
composers and musicians perpetuating this positivity? There
are, I promise. The "golden age"
of classical music may have
come and gone, but there is a
man versed in classical repertoire breathing new life into the
field.
Matt Haimovitz, a 38-yearold cellist born in Israel, made
his performance debut at 13 as
a soloist with the Israel Philharmonic after intense training
in Palo Alto, California by the
world-renowned cellist Irene
Sharp. At 17, Haimovitz and his
family moved back to the States
and he performed with the Chicago and New York Philharmonic orchestras. He also signed
an exclusive recording contract
with Deutsche Grammophon
Gesellschaft, a German classical
record company, and received
several awards for his work with
the label.
In 1996, upon graduation from
Harvard, he terminated his contract with Deutsche Grammophon out of a desire to explore
non-standard styles of classical music. His variations were
a success in (of all places) rock
venues, and he went on to found
his own record label, Oxingale.
Haimovitz does not record any
original works. In his newest
approach, he creates variants of
established pieces by modern
artists like Elliott Carter, Ana
Sokolovic, and Steven Stucky,
and infuses them with electronic
styling.
Haimovitz's most recent
release, Figment, is the perfect album to help temper your
tastes if you aren't ready to dive
head first into a symphony. The
album's first track, "Figlude," is
a pulsating hybrid of synth hits
mixed with a cello piece by composer Socalled.
Though Haimovitz's real
claim to fame is his incredible

centuries.

THE PRIDE
Pride fashion Hps
W hat to see on D VD
BY BLAINE H MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
"House Bunny" starring Anna
Faris as Shelly Darlingson in the title
role takes place at a fictional college
and his is a perfect vehicle for Fans'
comedic skills. Faris may never reach
the comedic heights of a Lucille Ball,
but that doesn't lessen the solid talent
she consistently brings to the screen.
She has great timing and a real gift
for comedy,fromsatire to slapstick.
In this film, a group of sorority
nerdettes might lose their house due
to a lack of pledges. The Playboy
mansion, Shelley's home, sends her
away through the underhanded work
of arivalbunny. As she wanders the
streets not knowing what to do or
where to go, she ends up finding her
real place at the Zeta sorority house.
The plot here is fairly derivative,
but the writers Karen McCullah Lutz
and Kirsten Smith did a very nice job
misdirecting the viewer enough to
keep the moviefreshand interesting.
The supporting cast of nerdettes are
exactly what one might expect in this
type of film, and their transformationfromthe unseen to the must be
seen also travels tried and true storylines, but it is perhaps this familiarity
which allows the view«* to connect
more easily with the protaganistas.
Interjected are just enough truly
comic bits, such as when Shelly is
helping to makeover the girls and she
instructs them with the deepest sincerity that they must use makeup to
showcase their eyes for4 the eyes are
the nipples ofthe face." Certainly not
a film that requires deep reflection,
but there is more than enough rentable fimm this fihiitomakertworth
a view. "What to See" ***
"The Mighty Boosh" is written by and starring Julian Barratt as
Howard Moon and Noel Fielding as
Vince Noir in a Britcom television
program which combines comedy,
fantasy and musicatelements.
Hmm, how do I communicate the
sounds and images that leapfromthe
screen while watching this show?
That is a tough assignment. Fielding
plays a character named Richmond
on my favorite Britcom "The IT
Crowd" and it is for that reason alone
that I took a shot at this show.
After having watched the first
season of Boosh, I am still watching
and still am not quite sure why I am
watching or more precisely what it
Tuesday, October 13, 2 009
is I am watching. The comedy
is not particularly sharp. Acting
is over the top and likely this is
intentional. The story lines are
straight from the dream states
of the writers. The sets and costumes are equally cheesy and
outlandish.
Perhaps it is like taking a journey into the sleeping mind of
Lewis Carroll or Edgar Allen
Poe only less sophisticated. It is
entertaining for sure, and at times
more than a bit disturbing.
If for no other reason, watch
it at least one time, for it is truly
like nothing you have ever seen
before. You might even enjoy the
musical segment, which can be
the best part of the show. So for
that reason alone I would rate this
as a "What to See" somewhere
between * and ****, your guess
is as good as mine.

grey, white) the more versatile the cardigan will be. Try
to stay with neutral or earth
tones and you will be able
to wear your cardigan with
nearly anything.
The last thing you should
consider when buying a cardigan is the material. Try
to go with a t hinner f iner
fabric like f ine merino wool
or cashmere. If the cardigan
is too thick and bulky y ou'll
not only risk looking like Mr.
Rogers, but you'll also limit
its versatility.
The online Merriam-Webster dictionary d efines a cardigan as a sweater or jacket
that opens the f ull length of
the center f ront. Essentially
a cardigan is a sweater that
opens in the f ront. The cardigan has escaped the closet of
g randfather's everywhere and
has become an important fall
staple. It also applies to this
week's fashion tip.
A cardigan is great because
it is universally u seful and
accessible to everyone. You
can wear a cardigan with anything. Pair it with a normal
graphic or band t-shirt for a
casual look or a button down
oxford and tie for a more
sophisticated look. You can't
go wrong when layering with
a cardigan, so pick one in
your favorite color and wear
it everywhere.
When purchasing a cardigan there are several things
to look for. You should purchase a cardigan that f its
well, it should f rame your
torso without overwhelming
your silhouette or being too
tight. You should also take
note of the color.

THE PRIDE
O verflow at ' Meaning in M otion' dance presentation
BY BLAINE HMOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
In Arts building room 111 on
Wednesday evening, the room
filled quickly as throngs of
impatient attendees jostled to get
a prized red ticket for a chance
to get seating in the main auditorium. Forethought and planning
resulted in a relatively orderly
beginning to the evening, as
those in charge had set up
a viewing room for
those not fortunate enough to
get into the main
room. The overflow room offered
the presentation via
closed circuit television.
Dr.
Jonathan
S. Marion, an
on campus professor
of Anthropology, presented
the event, "Meanings in
Motion." Dr. Marion's focus
is on Visual Anthropology as it
applies to Ballroom dance. He
is no mere scientific observer,
he is also an enthusiastic participant. One might wonder i f
such a deep involvement in the
field one studies might cloud scientific judgment, but in the case
of Dr. Marion, this involvement
leads to a deeper insight
and better understanding of the subject at
hand rather than
conflict.
Dr. Marion is
easy to spot on
campus with his uptempo stride, short ponytail and neatly trimmed
doorknocker
facial
hairstyle. He is very
approachable, knowledgeable, and dare I say
stylish. On this evening he
brought everything he had
t o the presentation along
with a mild nervous swaying
during the presentation.

On Aug. 27, 2009, while Cal
State University San Marcos'
President
Karen
Haynes
addressed canipu$ staff and
faculty at the university convocation, the California Faculty
Association held an alternative
convocation to address key concerns faculty had in regard to the
effects of budget cuts. The' alternative convocation consisted of
over 120 faculty members who
all worked together to actively
plan ahead for the upcoming
semester.
As the semester pushes forward into mid-September, the
CFA continues to assemble and
rally support in protest of the
disabling cuts to higher education. The effects of such cuts may
already be evident to students,
many of whom experienced difficulty crashing courses. The
CFA is responsible for the assertive stance faculty is now taking
against over-enrollment.
"Class size is important in
determining the ability of faculty to give students the appropriate level of attention necessary for success, but budget
demands have been steadily
increasing our class sizes to the
point where we simply could
not provide the time necessary
for students," said CFA Association Chapter President and
CSUSM Associate Professor of
Sociology, Don Barrett. "This
decision was a key part of why
you saw many faculty encouraging students in their first
days of classes to file complaint
forms about the availability of
classes."
Last Tuesday and Thursday,
Sept. 8 and 10, CFA assembled
CSUSM faculty members in
Founders Plaza to protest the
budget cuts and furlough days
and also encourage students to
join i njhe protest. During the
University Hour protests, faculty members stood in between
Craven, Markstein, Science Hall
I and Academic handing out
complaint forms to students.
Students may notice their syllabi include furlough explanations which detail the reasoning behind and consequences of
furlough days for course sched-
CSUSM's GFA chapter President Don Barrett and Professor Heidi Breuer protest the budget cuts during

ules and campus operations.
CSUSM's Academic Senate
comprised of faculty members
across departments, compiled
samples of furlough language in
syllabi. The CFA provides these
examples of furlough explanations on their website for faculty to use. The CSUSM's CFA
chapter website, www.csusm.
edu/cfa, also provides students
with the information necessary
to help protest the cuts to the
budget.
An online complaint form is
available at the CFA website as
well. The form headline reads:
"Got Classes? We don't. If you're
frustrated that you're paying
more for classes & an education
that you're not receiving, please
fill out this complaint form."
"In terms of complaint forms,
we have received hundreds [of
complaint forms] and will be
giving those to the President and
Provost, as well as to the Chancellor's office and legislators,"
said Barrett. "This sort of visible
complaint is key to letting policy
holders know that students and
faculty won't just quietly accept
efforts that make quality educa-
tion more and more difficult to
provide."
President Haynes recently
wrote an editorial in the August
30, 2009 "North County Times"
regarding the budget crisis at
CSUSM.
"There is no question that we
are positively impacting lives,
— but how can we continue to
educate and support students
with quality when our budget
was dramatically slashed by $14
million, or 20 percent of state
support, in one year? This is
the question that keeps me up at
night," Haynes wrote.
"The fact is, Cal State San
Marcos and the public higher
education system in California
are in crisis. The current options
of reducing quality service to
students, of turning even more
students away, and of charging
students more are all distasteful
and largely unacceptable alternatives — not just for Cal State
San Marcos, but for this region.
An even less-educated community of tomorrow will not
be the community that attracts
and retains businesses; it will
not continue to be the place of
incubation and innovation. This
dilemma should keep all of us
up at night," Haynes said.
In closing, Haynes called
on the "North County Times"
readers, and the entire county,
to rally against the cuts to
higher education, "Join me in
sending this definitive message:
Our state budget cannot be balanced on the back of California's future."
This call for help provides an
example of the collaboration
between faculty and administration against the budget
cuts made by the state. While
CSUSM faculty and staff are
certainly frustrated with the
current state of the budget,
Haynes is not downplaying
the magnitude of the cuts or
their effects on every member
of the campus community and
beyond.
"The faculty agrees with
President Haynes' assertions
that California's commitment
to education is in serious doubt,
and that it is time to make it
clear that we will not tolerate
continued actions that reduce
the quality of education."

It's worth mentioning that half of college graduates under the age of 25 have

W omen's soccer defeats Westmont 1-0
September 12, 2009
Cougar women's
soccer
turned in an excellent effort on
Saturday, posting a well-earned
win against Westmont College
in front of the Cougars' home
crowd.
The #12-ranked Cougars are
now 3-2-1 on the season. Westmont falls to 1-2-1.
It was virtually a 180-degree
turnaround from the team's last
home game, a 1-0 loss to Vanguard. Today, CSUSM was
energized, physical, and hungry
as they attacked the goal and
played spirited defense. Track
star Lucia Asbury made her
first appearance of the season
as a forward, and provided
pace and aggressiveness to an
offense that had appeared sluggish at times this season.
¡ ni
¡iiiiüiiüiiii
lüÄlÄSli
The game's lone goal came
in the 34th minute. After a
nice build-up, Asbury hit a
cross to the top middle of the
box, where the ball found the
foot of Taylor Ziencina. Ziencina launched a shot from
about 15 yards out that found
the top corner of the net, past
the hands of the outstretched
keeper. It's Ziencina's fourth
goal of the young season.
That would be all the Cougars needed, as the defense was
in top form, limiting Westmont
io just one shot on goal - which
fortunately ricocheted off the
post. Keeper Kaycee Gunion
picked up the shutout.
CSUSM will face another
tough GSAC test as they go on
the road this Tuesday to take on
Point Loma.

effort at UC Irvine.

finished an extremely-impressive 3rd at the NCAA Event,
while the men took 5th.
For Williams, the win supports the work ethic and drive
/that Coach Steve Scott has been
raving about this Fall. An AllAmerican in Cross-Country
and National Champion in track
& field, Williams is on a mission to improve on last year's
sixth place finish at the National
Championships. She got off to a
great start on Saturday, running
17:21 to win the event by 5 seconds.
Not far behind in the 5K was
Cady Villarreal. A breakout
performer this spring in track &
field, Villarreal proved she will
be a force as a cross-country
runner this fall. She ran 17:41 to
finish 4th.
Junior Jessica Sandoval

Cougar runners to break 18 minutes. Sandoval took 9th place
with a time of 17:56.
All three runners not only
finished in the top 10 at this
event, but they have a very good
chance of earning Ail-American
status at Nationals.
The Cougars' next three runners all finished within a couple
seconds of each other. Sin Carrano, Lindsey McKown, and
Kelly Thompson finished 59th,
60th, and 61st with times of 19:10,
19:11, and 19:12, respectively.
Melissa Olmos rounded out the
women's team with a time of 19:30.
For the men's team, the 2009
season debut was just about as
impressive. Running in his firstever meet in Cougar Blue, Baressa,
a transfer from Mesa College,
defeated the NCAA-heavyfieldin
the 8K with a time of 25:06. That
time alone makes him the #5 top
performers in Cougar cross-country's 10-year history, and he's still
got the whole season ahead of him.
Next on the team was Dave
Edwards, who finished in 38th
place with a time of 26:11. Pat
Fitzgerald finished 55th with a time
of26:34, and Bernardo Bahena and
Chris Strasheim were close behind
in 58th and 59th, running 26:41 and
26:42, respectively. Rounding out
the top-5 was Chris Capeau, who
ran 27:32. Also competing for the
Cougars were Miguel Vega (28:21)
and Jordan Brooks (28:37).
It's an outstanding start to what
should be a big season for Coach
Steve Scott's cross-country program. The #6-ranked teams will be
in action next week at UC Riverside.

M en's soccer wins thriller a gainst Westmont
September 12, 2009
A rabid crowd of Cougar
fans cheered an equally-energetic Cougar men's soccer
team to victory in its home
opener Saturday.
CSUSM
defeated Westmont 3-2 in what
was a wild, spirited game.
The Cougars have now
clawed their way back to 3-3
on the season. Westmont falls
to 2-2.
The hundreds of fans in
attendance w fie treated to a
thrilling mafch between two
talented and highly-motivated sides at Mahgrum Field.
Westmont struck f irst, when
in the 18th minute Anthony
Niboli found a loose ball in the
box and drove it past Cougar
keeper Kevin Ernst.
Westmont continued to
apply the pressure, and would
have went up 2-0 a few minutes later had Ernst not made a
diving full-extension save.

minute, recently-subbed in

That tied the game ^ t 1-1,^
but the Cougars were not done.
Just 59 seconds later, Brandon

to the corner with the ball, and
f ired a low cross to Wootan,
who made a run to the near
corner of the net and skillfully redirected the ball over
the keeper and into the top of
the net.
The sudden change from 0-1
to 2-1 in the span of a minute
was one of the most exciting stretches in the history of
Cougar soccer. But Westmont
was not deterred, and equalized the game early in the
second half on a corner kick
in which it appeared Ernst was

advantage with a solid header
into the net.
But CSUSM would have

Project R unway moves to Lifetime
BY TRISH CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Project Runway's season six on
its new TV network, Lifetime®, still
keeps loyal fans flocking.
Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum have
packed up and moved from New.
York City to Los Angeles. The contestants will be working from the
Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FD1M), a shift from
the legendary Parson's School of
Design.
The judges, Nina Garcia, fashion
director for Marie Claire magazine
and Michael Kors, an American
iconic fashion designer, stayed on
board through the changes. Staying traditional, Project Runway
brought in a selection of celebrity
judges, this season has already seen
Lindsay Lohan as a guest judge for
a red carpet challenge and a pregnant Rebecca Romijn also guest
judged for a maternity design challenge. Future guest judges include
Eva Longoria Parker and Tommy
Hilfiger this Thursday at its regular
showing time of 10p.m.
Other than location, the show is
unchanged from its previous five
seasons on Bravo® TV network.
The grand prize still lures designers to compete for a chance to show
at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week,
$100,000fromL'Oreal Paris, a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine
and a Paris vacation sponsored by
Evian.
The casting has stuck to its roots
with the same odd but artistic personalities. "I try to meditate on the
mood of where the garment will be
and who will be wearing it," said Ari
Fish, a 26 year-oldfromKansas City,
MO who never sketches her designs.
Michael Kors described her dress as
"a disco soccer ball." Fish's quilted
silver halter dress made her the first
designer to go home,
Challenges and stresses stay
high but the creative workfromthe
designers and the dramatics that
come with it continue to keep audiences raving. Last week's episode
eliminated a contestant for playing it
safe with the design ofa simple black
dress.
"No one's [design] really looks
like crap, but I just think Althea's
looked like crap," said Irina
Shabayeva, a young designer out
of New York City. Regardless
of Shabayeva's opinion, Althea
Harper, a 24 year oldfromDayton,
OH, impressed the judges with her
three-piece suit, making her the
winner of episode 4.
This year Bravo® had a not so successful knock-off called "The Fashion Show." The winner of the show
had their designs sold at a retailer.
This ultimately focused the designs
toward commercial sale rather than
high fashion runway style. Although
it followed the same elimination
format as Project Runway, they had
stiffly written tag lines such as "You
are hanging by a thread." These
words fell flat with many fens of
"Project Runway," used to organically formed sayings such as Tim
Gunn's "Make it work," or Klum's
"One day you're in and the next day
you're out."
Lifetime's interactive website
gives viewers an opportunity to rate
the designs, the contestants and give
feedback. Do not worry if you have
missed an episode or two because

Sicilian-style apple pie pizza
BY TRISH CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Apple pie is as American as pizza.
Ok, maybe pizza is not traditionally American. However, it is a solid
American staple, beloved by all.
With this recipe, I wanted to present
theflavorsof apple pie in the fast and
convenient eating style ofpizza. This
recipe is affordable and fun.
Makes approximately 6 servings
Prep Time: 15 minuets
Cook Time: 15 minuets
3 apples (approx 1 lb Golden Delicious $1.491b)
!4 tsp Cinnamon ($0.99)
% cup Sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice (half lemon)
($0.50)
Pinch of salt
1 sheetfrozenpuff pastry or pie
crust ($4.79for2)
8 oz cream cheese ($1.99)
% cup chocolate hips (optional)
For Crust:
Open package roll out pastry
sheet and place on a greased cookie
sheet. Take a fork and ¿tab holes into
the top of the pastry covering the
entire sheet. Place in preheated, 400degree oven. Bake for 13 minutes
until golden brown. Remove from
oven and let cool.
*In the frozen food section of
every grocery store, you can find
puff pastry. Puff pastry is primarily flour and butter, lots of butter!
It is delicate andflakey,very similar to a croissant. I prefer this to
frozen piecrust because it will hold
up when being eaten like pizza,
I would have preferred to buy all
of my ingredients at leader Joes
because they have lower prices
than standard grocery stores. However, I was dismayed when I went
to Trader Joes®, in Oceanside, and
found they only carry puff pastry
seasonally (e.g. fall and* winter
months). As a result, I made my
way to Albertsons®. They did have
frozen Pepperidge Farms® puff
pastry containing two sheets for
$4.79, which I purchased for this
recipe. Alternatively, Pillsbury has
a 'break and bake' (paper tube) with
one pastry dough sheet for $3.49.
Apple Toppings:
Peel, core and slice apple into
small pieces bite sized pieces. Sauté
apples and butter in pan on medium
heat for 5-7 minutes. Add sugar,
cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt to
pan. Cook for additional 5 minute.
Removefromheat and allow cooling. After topping cools, drain off
excess liquid.
* This is super easy to make and
can used alternatively as a delicious
topping for yogurt. Spices like cinnamon can be expensive. In the
ethnic food isle of the grocery store,
you will find Tampico brand bagged
spices for 990. That is a huge savings
from the $5 jarred spices.
„Assemble:
Soften cream cheese; you can
microwave it for 15 seconds until
it is soft and easily spreadable. If it
does not spread easily, it will tear the
crust Spread cream cheese evenly
on puff pastry. Spoon cooled apple
topping on top of cream cheese.
Optional Garnish:
Put lA cup chocolate chips in standard plastic bag and seal. Place bag
in bowl of hot water from the tap.
Chocolate should melt in 1-2 minutes. With scissors, snip one bottom
corner of the plastic bag. Moving
back and forth drizzle chocolate on
top of pie.

Returning students climb same stairs to a different campus
BY SANDRA CHALMERS &
JACKIE CARBAJAL
Although the campus is celebrating its 20th year while some
of its students a re doing the
same, many overlook the f act
that CSUSM is still quite young
in university years. Still, the
CSUSM community is familiar with the changes each new
school year brings. Last year,
CSUSM launched its new and
improved website. In years past,
parking structures opened, bur
colleges offered new majors,
and public transit advanced.
This fall, CSUSM brings both
a new logo and Windows Operating System in addition to a
thirty percent fee increase and
ten percent pay cuts to staff and
faculty.
With the country still tackling an economic recession
and the state of California in a
budget crisis of its own, cuts to
the Cal State University system
forced faculty, s taff, and students to essentially pay more
for less as a means to operate
on a budget drastically cut by
14 Million dollars.
Over the summer, the budget
cuts introduced a new word to
the vocabulary of the campus
community. In what some
s taff, faculty, and even student
workers will come to know as
the new f-word, furloughs are
responsible for the ten percent
pay cut to anyone employed
through the CSU system.
Last T hursday, Aug. 28,
CSUSM President, Karen S.
Haynes addressed staff and
faculty at Fall Convocation, an
event that not only celebrates
the accomplishments of the
past year but also ushers in the
beginning of the new school
year. Though President Haynes
tailored her remarks at the event
to resonate optimism within
the staff and faculty in attendance, drawing on the familiar
line f rom Cesar Chavez, "Si, se
puede!," the uncertainty of the
new academic year is hard to
ignore.
While CSUSM held its Convocation, the California Faculty
Association held its own alternative convocation. Though the
CFA has been fighting the cuts
to the budget over the past year,
as the effects of these cuts take
effect in the months to come,
the faculty association is preparing to fight and be heard
throughout the state.

Faces & Places Editor
On June 4, 2009, CSUSM students were sent a message via
web mail notifying them that
because of "budget constraints,"
undergraduate registration would
be limited to 13 uriits or less.
Unless the student had priority registration, they would be
unable to take more than 13 units
in the fall semester. For most students, this was not a big problem. The average unit load of
four classes factors to about 12
units. But, those who needed to
take more than 13 units—due to
an impending school transfer, or
graduation requirement—were
l eft high and dry. The e-mail
does contain a link to personally
appeal a case on the Undergraduate Advising Services website,
but it is unknown what criteria is
needed to gain this appeal.
When asked, the majority Of
students at CSUSM had mixed
feelings about the unit limitation.
"I can see why they would need
to do that, to save money," said
senior Anthony Carlson."But at
the same time, if I needed to do
more than 13 units in the spring
to graduate I would be screwed.
Plus I would be paying even more
money to finish it in summer
school!"
Even though the unit cap only
affects a small number of students, this action may signàfìthe
beginning of a number of inconvenient cutbacks by the California State Universities in response
to the state budget crisis. If this
unit cutback turns out to be effective in saving Cai State money,
the CSU system may employ
more unit cutbacks in the future.
As of August 31, 2009 at 9:00
am, CSUSM lifted the 13-unit cap
for the fall semester, citing that
"an audit has revealed a limited
number of openings." But once
these few openings are taken, the
classes that some students need
to take will be full. For many students, the e-mail came too little,
too late. If CStJSM does decide
to use this method in the future,
returning students can at least
kncrtv what to expect in terms of
class availability for the upcoming semesters.

"Cash for Clunkers"
The
U.S.
administration
announced a $1 billion Car
Allowance Rebate System in an
attempt to not only help boost
the economy but also encourage
American consumers to trade in
their less fuel-efficient for more
eco-friendly alternatives. Due
to the high demand, Congress
approved a $2 billion extension
after the original funding was
exhausted by July 31, 2009. The
original end date for the program,
November 1, 2009, was cut short
when the "Cash for Clunkers"
allowance was officially depleted
on August 24,2009. According to
the Department of Transportation,
"Cash for Clunkers" generated

j i s reading T he Pride!!!! :D
--
v"
' t J M S t S ' is laying out the first issue of the semester! about 1 day ago.
H ome
j a c k i e c a r b a j a l I 'm back for one more semester (I mean it this time) and am returning
as editor-in-chief. I am a Literature and Writing Studies major with a writing emphasis and
will be applying to grad school to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing.
When I am not on campus, I am likely working my other job as a legal assistant for a law firm
in Carlsbad. I enjoy cartoons (currently watching "The Chipmunks Adventure"), NPR, and
fishing (for compliments, not fish). I come from a big family so noise doesn't bother me, t
am always willing to offer advice or a helping hand, and I love to laugh.
s a i K l r a _ c h a i m e r $ Hello! My name is Sandra Chalmers and I am the new Arts and
Entertainment Editor! I am a Communications and Mass Media major. Trader Joe's makes
me happy and iced coffee has become my drug of choice. I love live music and enjoy all
mediums of art. I am completely fueled by creativity. I would choose a foreign film over the
next Jennifer Aniston chick flick and sometimes I am always late to class.
a m y _ s a l i s b u r y My name is Amy and I'm the Copy Editor. You've probably seen me with
this huge, Brazilian bag I lug around that might be embarrassing if it had j ust one l ess color
on it. I'm an odd 20 year-old known best for my astounding ability to go against the flow. I
get offended when my favorite bands come on only to serve as background noise. I like to
think people derive benefit from what I say about music. I like Ferlinghetti, philosophy, cats
and cosmology. I love a good concert. I'm terrible at leaving voicemaiis, and 1 think people
tell more about themselves by what they hide than what they expose.
m a t t J e w i s Hi, t'm Matt. A lot of people confuse me with the multitudes of other Matt's
that go to school here. I guess it would be easier if I said my last name paired with my first
name all the time, but then again, that would be weird. I am a senior at CSUSM and will be
the editor for Faces & Places this semester. I enjoy Rollerbiading, or "Fruitbooting'' as many
like to say. Most people think I mean fitness skating on the boardwalk with spandex, and I
always have to explain to them, MNo, like on rails and stairs and stuffy I like the ocean and I
like eating tacos. if you're looking for a good taco place 1 would say go to Qscar's on Rancho
Santa Fe drive in Vi$ta, about 10 minutes away from school. I'm sure you can find the ocean
on your own though.
k r i s t i n a J a w l e r My name is Kristina Lawler (soon to be Martinez as of October 3, 2009)
I am youfBusiness Manager for The Pride. I am twenty-three years old. I am going into
my final year at Cal State San Marcos and have loved every minute of going here. I am
majoring in Business Administration emphasis Marketing. I work at Starbucks and love it.
I love Disneyland, learning new things, random talks, and traveling. I have a Westie named
Harrison and he rocks my socks literally and another Westie named Sampson who is my old
man that I rescued. I'm a Leo and extremely compassionate, l am a fuH believer in second
chances and karma. Wanna know more? Just ask.
r u d y _ m a r t i n e z I usually have Kristina write this up for me, but I figured I'd give this a shot
this time. My name is Rudy Martinez and this is my fifth semester as a Layout Editor for The
Pride, so if I mess something up, sorry. This is my final yeaiL(hopefyily) here at CSUSM and
HI be walking in the Spring. I'm getting married on October 3rd to Kristina Lawler. I'm stoked.
You'll most likely spot me wearing a shirt with a cupcake and crossbones (johnny Cupcakes)
around campus.

In the fall, Sundays mean football to
some. To others, t he ABC combo, "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers and
Sisters," comes to mind. Fans of the shows
have to wait until Sept. 27 for the premieres, though their returns should prove
worth the wait. In the season premiere of
"Housewives," viewers will finally know
the answer to the season 5 cliffhanger; who
does Mike marry, his ex-wife and baby
momma, Susan, or current girlfriend, Katherine? The new season should also prove
entertaining as the other housewives surely
mm mm m

have their own melodramas to play out
and, per usual, a new family moves in.
The "Brothers and Sisters" season four
premiere will see more of the newest
addition to^the Walker family, the illegitimate son, Ryan, who, for those of us
who tuned in last season, will remember, his intentions weren't exactly genuine. The .divorced single oldest sister,
Sarah, will finally get some action and
we'll see how Kitty and Roberts rocky
marriage makes it through Robert's run
for governor.

Want something to gossip about?
Gossip Girl returns this fall on the CW
on Mondays at 9pm, a step up from their
previous 8 o'clock spot. Going into it's
third season, this show has definitely
turned into a must-see. Watch out,
Manhattan, these kids are grown up
now and off to college. What will that
mean for our favorite characters? If it's
anything like the last seasons, lots more
drama and exciting new storylines. It
will be hard to top last season's twists
and turns, but with Chuck Bass and
Blair Waldorf finally attempting a relationship, who knows what will happen.
I know I will be tuning in on September
14tb to find out and so should you.
"Dancing with the Stars" could very
likely overshadow the entertainment
gems that Mondays o ffer this fall.
Though "House" by now should have
a strong enough following to weather
out the rumba/jive combos of D-list
celebrities, "Heroes" has something to
prove considering the rapid decline its
ratings have been on since season one.
"How I Met Your Mother" and "Big
Bang Theory" are honorable mentions,
as both these shows are not only funrfy,
but their earlier seasons are available on
box sets for quite reasonable prices.

They say Tuesday h as become the

going to n eed t wice the e ntertainment a fter your long T-day g rind.
But i nstead of t raditional t rash TV,
why not go f or a show where a guy
eats t rash? A s pin o ff of t he p opular f reak show " Bizarre F oods," the
p opular c hef/host now embarks on
j ourneys a round the world t o explore
c ultural r ituals and p henomena.
With shows that range from "The Simpsons" and "Arrested
Development" to "Joe Millionaire" and "Melrose Place," the
upcoming dramedy (comedy/drama) "Glee" is a hit or miss this
fall. With season one's first episode premiering on Wednesday,
Sept. 9, 2009, viewers have enough time to give this show a
fair chance before missing out on other Wednesday premieres
such as the CW's "The Beautiful Life" the following week and
ABC's "Cougar Town" two weeks out. "Glee" made its debut
this past spring, premiering its pilot episode following the
"American Idol" finale to mixed critical reviews though it did
pull in an impressive 10 million viewers. The new series follows a high school choir but hints at a darker story line that
could prove an edgy result that is already being referred to as
a mix between "High School Musical" and "Gray's Anatomy."
Interesting...
Thursdays this fall, "Twilight" fans have another option when
satiating their undead desires. "The Vampire Diaries" premiers
on the CW on Sept. 10 at 8pm. "DeGrassi" actress Nina Dobrev
stars as the innocent Elena Gilbert caught between two vampire
brothers, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder, thirsty for blood.
With stars from "Juno," "Smallville," "17 Again," and "Lost/'
critics anticipate the show to be another CW hit. Based on a
series of books by L. J. Smith, "The Vampire Diaries" prdmises
drama and despair on par with CW's other series.

The first issue of fall 2009 looks at the beginning of the university's 20th year. Furloughs in faculty and staff schedules to reflect a 10 percent pay cut, a 13-unit cap on enrollment and tuition increase are challenges to starting off the new academic year. A bright spot is the introduction of a new campus logo.

Gov. B rown proposes new budget
in s upport o f CSU system
B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ
N EWS EDITOR
Last fall, Governor Jerry
Brown gained the support of
California State University
students with his new budget
proposals aimed at keeping tuition from increasing.
With the success of Prop. 30,
some CSU students received
a reimbursement of $249, or
nine percent of what tuition
was raised in fall 2012.
With the start of the new
year, Gov. Brown released
his 2013-2014 proposal for
the state budget, including
$125.1 million in funding towards the CSU system.
Gov. Brown stated that
$10 million of the proposed
budget will benefit students
for advancing through their
degree program without having to deal with "bottleneck"
courses, which often causes
the students degree progress
to be extended longer than
anticipated because they are
waiting for a particular lower
division classes or prerequisite for their major.
Governor Jerry Brown addressing the budget.
Gov. Brown's support for
the CSU system is needed,
since it has continuously lost
financial support over the
last several years. According to a press release of CSU
Public Affairs, the-CSU has
lost more than 30 percent of
state funding.
CSU Chancellor Timothy
P. White has stated, "We appreciate the Governor's recognition that California will
benefit from the investment
of state funds into higher education. The proposed budget heads us in the right direction. It will allow the CSU to
address the unprecedented
demand for high quality education at our institutions, as
well as areas of critical need.
We still face many fiscal
challenges and will continue
efforts to operate efficiently
and effectively, and seek out
additional innovative ways
to control costs."

T HE H EART BEAT: Athlete spotlight: Bridgette Stevens
Healthy eating is only half the battle Distance runner f or track & field
B Y CURTIS BOVEE
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
It has become obvious
that portion sizes have gotten larger over the decades-throughout restaurants and
grocery stores.
According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third
of U.S. adults and approximately one-fifth of children
and adolescents aged 2-19
years old are obese.
Portion sizes have certainly
fueled this obesity epidemic.
According to the American
Dietetic Association, the
size of dinner plates has increased by 36 percent over
the last decade.
It is no secret, that more
food on your plate, the more
you will eat. Making less
food every meal is a great
way to combat portion control issues. Having an abundance of food at the dinner
table is far worse than not
having enough, which in all
actuality is probably enough.
From the lack of nutritional food offered to the overwhelmingly large portion
sizes, America's restaurants
are contributing to the obesity problem rather than helping it. For example, at Outback Steakhouse, a popular
chain-restaurant throughout
the globe, an order of MacA-Roo 'N Cheese yields
over 600 calories, with greater than 220 of those from
fat. It is safe to
say that this
menu item
is popular
a mo n g s t
the youngsters; however, there is
no reason why
an 8 year old
should consume all
of this in one sitting.
Solution? Allow your
child to eat less than half,
and order a side of vegetables. Your caloric total will
still be around half of the
entire portion, while offering
nutritional value.
Importantly, don't forget
about what is on your plate.
Just because you are eating less doesn't give you
permission to eat anything.
The USDA recommends
that half your plate should
be fruits and vegetables. For
the remainder of your plate,
about half should be a protein source and the other half
should be whole grains. Using this as a template should
make it easy to determine
how much of each kind of
food you should be consuming.
When attempting to eat
less, cravings are inevitable,
thus stressing the importance
of snacking. To help with
portion control, try eating
snacks throughout the day.
Include things like fruit and
vegetables, and foods with
healthy fats like nuts. Nuts,
B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL
OPINION EDITOR
including walnuts, pecans
and almonds offer healthy
fats, keep you fuller longer
and are easy to pack and take
anywhere.
What you are drinking is
just as important. Soda is
incredibly harmful to your
health, and is over-consumed in America because
it is cheap and easily accessible. Most sit-down restaurants offer free refills of
soft beverages, which seems
inexcusable given the large
glass sizes. Did you know
that one can of Coca Cola
contains the equivalent of 10
teaspoons of sugar? Replacing soft drinks with water at
the dinner table can drastically decrease chances of
obesity and rapidly improve
health.
Remember, portion cpntrol
is not easy. Fortunately, it
is far better for your health
than some fad diet and it is
something you can practice
forever to improve your
health.
Bridgette Stevens has been
running for CSUSM for her
entire four year college career. She has been competitively running since middle
school, but has always loved
to run. She is also a kinesiology major with plans to
be a physical therapist once
she graduates, and has been
working at the Clarke for
two years, sporting her time
as an active member of the
CSUSM community.
Question: How do you
like your team?
Answer: Overall our team
is really good, we have sent
many people to nationals.
Last year we sent 26 people
into the nationals.
Q: Have you already
started to practice for your
February season?
A: Yes, we (long distance
runners) have been practicing six days a week. I like
the practices it really relieves
stress for me and I like spending time with my friends.
Q: When did you start
running?
A: I started doing things
with track in 4th grade,
but didn't really get into
the competition till middle
school. Then I ran for Mission Hills high school and
was rankedfifthon the Cross
Country team.
Q: Being a senior, what
are your plans for once you
graduate?
A: I might want to do some
triathlons or 5k's to keep
running, but I want to be a

As a result of the Cougar's tremendous string of
victories, they have climbed
up to a No. 8 ranking in the
country, the school's highest
ranking in the NAIA coaches
poll to date. The last time the
cougars cracked the top 10
was earlier this season when
they were ranked ninth but
loss the next game to defending champion Concordia.
CSUSM has bounced back
immensely since the defeat
and hasn't looked back winning 11 of the last 12 games

streak.

The 2012 - 2013 basketball season has
not gone the way
the Lady Cougars
would have
hoped with \
losing sev- X*
en of the
last ten
games
the season 7;
during the winter break dropping to 9-16 after
entering the break at
6-7.
CSUSM has not been able
to generate any offense during the stretch of losses,
being held under 60 points
each of the times. The Cougars season went south after
a loss in the Arizona Christian University Basketball
Classic earlier this season
and CSUSM has only won
one game against Simpson
College 76-73 at home on
Jan. 3.
The bright spots in what is
a relatively young basketball
squad for head coach Sheri
Junnum is the play of junior
forwards, Sherika Miller and
Danielle Cooper who have
lead the way
for the Cougars offense
this season.
Cooper

and
10.6

FEATURES EDITOR
In Toby Keith's good-time
anthem "Red Solo Cup" he
sings, "Red solo cup, you're
not just a cup/you're my,
you're my friend/thank you
for being my friend." For the
past couple of years now, this
song has been played to bring
people together and enjoying
being in each other's company. As college students,
we study hard during the
week but live for the weekends when we can have fun,
a concept that entrepreneur
Ryan Craig understands.
Craig, a San Diego State
student who transferred from
Palomar community college,
created his own clothing
company, "Red Cup Tour,"
which illustrates our generation with Ae depiction qf
the infamous plastic red cup.
With the company's website
up and running, as well as
stylish shirts available for
purchase, we sat down with
the designer.
Question: What inspired
you to start a clothing company? What does the "Red
Cup Tour" represent?
Answer: I feel there are all
these clothing companies. I
wanted to create something
about simplicity and relationships, the people you C l
e
ebrate with. It wasn't about
creating a clothing company
but the idea~and expanding
from that idea.
Q: Why did you choose
the "red solo cup' as the
logo for your brand?
A: First off, [red solo cups]
are everywhere. It's the universal symbol of people together and having a good
time. The line isn't about
beer pong or drinking per
se but to live life to it's full-
Now that the Christmas
season has ended and the
new semester has begun,
giving back to the community and donating to charity is
often at the back of people's
minds.
However, the people in
need of your help are not
just seasonal based. They
are around you at all times,
and they include students
on campus. Even if you are
already busy amidst your
homework and classes, here
are two easy ways to help the
people around you, even if it
is just during a study break.
One way to immediately
give back to the CSUSM
student body is by helping
Summit Church (across the
street from CSUSM and next
to The Quad) with their Food
Distribution program. Summit is in need of volunteers
that are willing to help pass
out food to students and people that need it. Volunteers
would need to show up at
1:00 p.m. and the actual distribution would take place
from 2:00 p jn. to 3:00 p.m.

clothing line. Photo courtesy of Ryan Craig,
est. Our tagline is "Thirst for
Life.' That explains it all.
Q: How has the journey
been from an idea to putting designs together to
selling your product?
A: It's been a while, actually, a year that I started
working on the idea. I found
resources from my friends
to my family and them helping me out. You just have to
tell yourself everyday to do
something even if it's going to be a mistake, at least
I tried. It takes a lot of planning. It's not just drawing
something in class and putting it on a shirt.
Q: Where do you get inspiration for your designs?
A: I didn't want anything
too cheesy. Its just things I
find entertaining and think
other people would like. I
take in the world around and
use certain things in my life.
Q: How do you balance
school and running a business?
A: I've never thought I
needed to be in school to be
successful. I want to create
jobs for others and myself.
If I had the choice between
reading a business book over
a textbook, I would choose
the business book. In my
opinion, education is too
7
streamlined. Ifindit successful to teach yourself. I still
have to balance school. For
me, school is more networking and I take it upon myself
to learn what I need to.
Q: What future plans do
you have for the "Red Cup
Tour"?
A: Every clothing line has
collections, so I have some
upcoming releases seasonally. There will be different
designs and clothes, some
surprises. Eventually* backpacks and other accessories
but I don't want to give too
much away.
Q: What advice do you
have for aspiring entrepreneurs?
A: Be a self-learner. You
can't completely rely on others to do everything for you
but allowing their help. Definitely know your strengths
and weaknesses. Find others that can supplement your
weaknesses. Also to fail faster, by that I mean learn by
failing because it's a quicker
path to success. This is the
best time to make mistakes.

Throughout the semester,
VSAR 301 students worked
hard creating different projects, with their final project
being the gallery showing.
This allowed the students

major Amalia Wood created
the piece "Sobering Up,"
which featured a brightly
colored canvas that showed
women flying upwards. Liberal Studies major Karissa
Bullington contributed two
of her dream catchers, the
first entitled "Enchanted"
and the second called "Birds
of a Feather." Visual and
Performing Arts major Laura
Musgrove created the piece
entitled "Resilience," created
from wood, paint, the Bible,
text, Paper Mache and yarn.
"In ["Resilience"] I explored two very vital elements: spirituality and
identity. My intention is to
awaken the viewer's mind
to the contrast I perceive between the negative cultural
communications and the uplifting, encouraging and lifegiving truth spoken by God
through His Word. I wanted
this piece to reflect my personal design aesthetics as
well as communicating the
underlying theme conceptually," Musgrove said.
The ability to show their
work in a gallery has moti-
vated the students to work
even harder on future art
pieces.
"This was my first time
having my artwork shown.
It made me feel pretty happy
that others could see it; I look
forward to making more artworks to show," Wood said.
"It was such an amazing
opportunity to have my artwork showcased. This
was the first time having my work displayed
in an art gallery so it
was very exciting and
I hope to have another chance to do it
again!" Bullington
said.
"I feel very fortunate and I am also
appreciative to
have had this opportunity to create
an art piece that
expresses my
personal views
and my identity
both as an artist and person
and for it to be
showcased in an art
gallery located at Restau-
rant Row which is a popular
area," Musgrove said.
To see these and other
works created by the VSAR

CSUSM Art Gallery. The

Looking for amazing food,
great service, atmosphere
and the best beer in town?

Marcos' very own San Marcos Brewery restaurant.
San Marcos Brewery is a
grill-style restaurant, offering the best cheeseburgers

jalapenos served with a side
of lightly seasoned fresh cut
fries. They also offer a delectable choice of freshly grilled
steaks with a variety of sides
such as potatoes, baked or
mashed, and steamed veggies.
For those looking for a
little different entree, the
brewery also serves a sausage platter with all types of
dipping sauces, as well as an
endless selection of seafood
for those not looking for the
standard choice of meat.
The brewery's menu also
includes sandwiches, pastas
and salads , which along with
the rest of the menu are delicious andfilling.
What makes the San Marcos brewery different from
other restaurants is their
selection of beers and ales
brewed on site and are available in bottles and jugs to
take home and enjoy. They
have classics like red amber
and IPA, specialties such as
the Pompous Ass beer and
many other styles.
Lunch and happy hour specials are offered, lunch being
served before 4 p.m. Happy

U nit cap opinions Is an unborn baby a baby?
B Y JULIANA STUMPP
40th anniversary of Roe vs. W ade sparks ' Walk for Life' marches
A & E EDITOR
B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL
OPINION EDITOR
Over our much-needed winter break, a new
process for class registration took place. In late
November and early December last semester,
the new class registration process restricted you
to a limit of 13 units until Dec. 17th, at which time
you were able to a dd more classes if need be.
Here are some of the students' opinions on this
new change in our registration system:
On Jan. 22, 1973 the Supreme Court came to a decision on the controversial
case of Roe vs. Wade concerning the touchy subject
of abortion. Abortion was
illegal before this court case
controversy came about, but
in 1971 a woman tried to
get a "legal" abortion claiming that she had been raped.
She later confessed that she
had lied on matter in order
to get an abortion, but did
in fact have the baby before
the court reached a decision.
Another similar case (Doe
vs. Bolton - 1973) reopened
the case,finallybringing the
decision to extend the 14th
Amendment of the Right to
Privacy for the women to
make their own decision to
have an abortion.
Ever since that decision
day on Jan. 22, 1973 the
debate still continues on
whether or not abortion is
a right thing to do. On the
"Getting classes wasn't too difficult since I got
priority registration because of my class standing.
Despite the slight advantage, the unit c ap made
it so that it wasn't possible for me to get all my
classes, thus I had to strategically pick the classes
that I knew would fill up fast," - Pat Tang, biology
major
"I reckon the people who will be affected the
most and worst by the unit c ap are those who are
graduating seniors. Though I a m not one of them,
I c an sympathize. There are some benefits to the
unit c ap. It allows students with lower priority to
get some classes, even if it does hinder other's
chances," - Viv Nguyen, biology major
"The unit c ap sucked. I couldn't wait list enough
classes so now I'm stuck with only 12 units," - Jordan Hays, business major
"To be honest, I already had a late priority reg?
istration date the day before priority registration
ended. So, I was already freaking out about getting all my classes. I was not very fond about the
unit c ap benefitting me personally because I'm
still on the wait list for 2 out of 5 my classes," - Savannah Shick, business major
"Well the unit c ap definitely made me prioritize
and choose classes based on importance instead
of kinda adding a bunch of classes and loading
up. I focused more on important classes and it
helped me set my priorities. It was kind of beneficial," - Austin Hoover, biology physiology major
"It's notrightfor all of us to have to wait for everyone to pick their classes and then pick again
later. It should be done on a first come first serve
basis. What is the point of priority registration if we
are going to be capped off at 13? If I'm paying
for all these classes I want to be able to pick as
many as I want," - Hunter Chanove, communication major
"I guess the only concerns I c ame across was
whether or not the classes I needed/wanted were
full. Also, there was a concern with the timing of
my classes, and whether or not the class I wanted
would interfere with the rest of my schedule for this
semester," - Zach Wilson, business major

In light of the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, (among other
horrific shooting as of late),
gun control has become a hot
topic across the nation. President Obama has proposed
12 congressional actions and
23 executive actions that he
feels will combat the issue
of gun violence and control
in the United States, which
has led to nation-wide debate, Here are some opinions
from your Cougar Chronicle
editors:
"As a college student, I
feel that gun control is not
regulated enough. Though
you need background checks
to purchase a gun, I highly
believe in the regulation of
Mental Status Exams that
should be required in the
purchasing of a gun. I understand that this is a second
Amendment right, to bear
arms, but tell me, why must
we need assault weapons? As
someone who has had family
members die at the bullet of
guns wrongfully purchased,
people need to realize the
importance of life. How
many people have to die for
this country to realize the
danger we put our children
in without regulating gun
control? I have a question

convicted of murder on two
accounts even though his
baby was not yet born. Facts
are facts, but the opinion is
yours, is an unborn baby a
baby?
In the month of January
across the nation, religious
groups, pro-family advo. cates, and many other prolife people gather to fight for
the unborn babies by marching in public with their signs
of protest in what they call,
"Walk for Life".
This year it is the 40th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade
so there are anticipated to be
more than usual. According
to the National Catholic Reporter, tens of thousands of
pro-lifers march every year
in 'Walk for Life' events
to help save the millions of
babies being aborted every
year.
The woman who originally
was fighting for abortion, is
now Catholic and is fighting
in the battle to save the unborn babies as well. "Roe" is
pro-life now!

"My main concern was that I could only sign
up for four classes but there was a chance that I
needed five due to a concern with a class that's
was unsure if I was going to pass. I was also not too
crazy about the classes that were available. I was
looking through my course catalog at all these
classes for my major and hardly any of them were
offered. I had already taken most of the classes
offered so it was difficult to plan a schedule with
the few choices I had left," - Jenica Caruso, communications major.

"Roe" side, people defend it
saying that if a woman becomes pregnant and decides
she does not want that baby,
and then she should have
the right to abort it. On the
"Wade" side, people say that
aborting a baby means killing an innocent human being (since human life begins
at conception) and that the if
you don't want a baby, either
don't have sex or give the
baby up for adoption.
Some defend the notion of
abortion "killing a human
baby" saying that unborn babies are not babies, instead
a "fetus", "lump of cells" or
even "tissue". People who
are pro-life strongly oppose
this claiming that human life
begins at conception, showing the pregnant mothers
an ultrasound image of the
growing baby inside them
proving to the mother that
it is not just tissue. In fact
in the controversial murder
case of Scott Peterson (2005)
proves that an unborn baby is
a human being since he was

for you America: would you
rather have your "right to
bear arms" or see your children reach their next birthday? It's time to prioritize. I
know guns don't kill people.
People kill people, but can
you put a price on saving the
life of even one person? Arguing that is selfish. People
don't realize the importance
of safety until they're burying their children six feet under. Why take the chance?"

"While creating emergency
plans and paying officer salaries are worthwhile causes,
the amount of money being
spent for these reasons is
far more than we can afford
during a time of economic
hardship. This sounds like
another piece of legislature
that gives tens of millions
of dollars to people that are
already doing their jobs and
taking these precautions
when this money could be
better spent. While Obama
can be applauded for taking
action to preyenf more tragedies like Sandy Hook, there
should be a réévaluation of

"Guns have taken the

says in our Constitution) we

the logic in having that for

for the sake of the safety of
the American people every

trained how to use, a hand
gun. You never know who

"Guns have gone beyond
the use of protection but now

since school went on break,
^gun control has become a
bigger problem then before.
We can't go anywhere now
without being paranoid if
another tragedy is going to
strike. During the Newtown,
Conn, shooting the press got
the information of the shooting wrong, they just used any
information they got and published it. It just goes to show
that these random shootings

With the excitement of award season
comes the buzz over who will dominate at the Grammys and who will be
snubbed. This playlist is d edicated to
honoring those nominated for top honors
this a ward season a nd my personal favorites.
"Babel/' Mumford & Sons
Nominated for three Grammy Awards,
Mumford & Sons continues to win my
heart. It's not easy to build up the perfect delivery that Mumford & Sons offers, building up their melody as well as
hard-hitting lyrics, but if that's what you're
looking for in an album, you c an find it in
"Babel."
"Set Fire to the Rain (Live)," Adele
I'm rooting for Adele to win Best Pop Solo
Performance. Having just won a Golden
Globe for Best Original Song, "Skyfall,"
the latest James Bond theme and nominated for an Oscar for Original Song of
the same, I e xpect Adele to impress the
Recording A cademy as much as she did
the Hollywood Foreign Press.
"We Are Young," fun.
As much as it was played on the radio,
I never got tired of listening to anything
from fun. Fun. reminds me of a modern,
more pop version of Queen."We Are
Young" offers a catchy tune to sing to in
the car and if you're like me, you'll b e
listening to it w ay longer than the radio
c an play it out.
"The A Team," Ed Sheeran
There is no one more sweet or adorable
than Ed Sheeran. He pretty much makes
me want to b e on the other e nd of his
g aze as he serenades on. Nominated
for Song of the Year, "The A Team" is a
beautiful ensemble of poetry a nd acoustic guitar that makes m e w eak in the
knees.
"No Church in the Wild," Jay-Z & Kanye
West feat. Frank O cean & The-Dream
Though my rap taste is biased since I prefer the old-school stylings, I a ppreciate
the collaborations with legends (Jay-Z)
that c hanged the modern rap industry for
what it is now. With heart-wrenching lyrics and voices of Frank O cean and TheDream, "No Church in the Wild" is bound
to win Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

F eb. 5 : "Two Lanes of F reedom"
BY KARLA REYES
Often times, we find ourselves sitting around with
friends wondering what to
do on a Friday night. The
typical conversation goes as
follows: Friend 1- "What do
you wanna do?" Friend 2- "I
don't know. What do you
wanna do?"
This could go on for a
white, eventually leading j p I
a night in watching a mov-t
ie. Next time this happens
to you, opt out of watching
Mean Girls for the tenth time
(that month) and see a live
performance to beloved stories at San Marcos's Theater
West.
Shows range from reenacting Disney favorites such
as "Snow White" and "The
Little Mermaid" to seasonal
A zombie novel with heart and brains
B Y MORGAN HALL
C o EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Written in 2011 by Isaac
Marion, "Warm Bodies" is a
comedic and romantic love
story about a zombie who
falls head over brains in love
with a mortal girl.
The main character, R,
who can't remember his real
name or how he became a
zfcmbie, has been spending
possibly years in the confines
of an airport, which he and
hundreds of other zombies
call home and have formed
a community. R is different
than his fellow zombies and
has developed a unique personality and strives to figure
out his purpose in life.
Not being able to hold
long thoughts down or speak
words with more than three
syllables, R personally enjoys riding the airport escalators for hours or spending
time with his friend and fel-
low zombie M.
R and M also take occasional trips to the outside
city to hunt and feast on the
brains and bodies of the "Living/' which R is not particularly found of. On one trip, R
and his fellow zombiesfinda
small group of the living and
begin feasting. As he starts
consuming one man's brains,
he sees these vivid memories
from that man's life and feels
this deep connection to that
man's girlfriend, Julie, which
he falls in love with.
During their time together
R, slowly begins to transform himself and starts to
break away from the typical zombie tendencies and
changes those around him to
become more human like.
"Warm Bodies" is an easy
read, with a great love story
from start to finish -with a
killer ending. It's a novel
that will put life and death
in perspective and will al-
low the reader to see that
just because you are a zombie doesn't mean you have
to act like one. Be warned,
this book is not for the faint
of heart due to its graphic nature and harsh language.
"Warm Bodies" will also
be a major motion picture set
to hit theaters Feb. 1, starring
Nicholas Hoult and Teresa
Palmer.

story. While the setting is
in modern times, the series
goes through events before
Gwen and beyond. It even
touches on the development
of some monsters like
ghosts, vampires and,
of course, zombies.
This then hipts what
other characters and
creatures Gwen will
encounter. Roberson's
intriguing plots filled
with mystery and action wonderfully goes
well with the Allreds'
eye-popping art style,
which Allreds won
