During the development o f the
CSUSM student lounge upgrade,
theft and vandalism intruded on
the creative plans last Tuesday
morning.
The burglary forces
the process to slow its pace; it
places the future o f the lounge in
jeopardy, and it causes Associated
Students Inc. (ASI) to change its
policies in an effort to protect the
improvements that are made to the
student lounge.

On Jan. 24, Arti Patel, Associated Students Incorporated (ASI)

to resign from her position by ASI

they set during the summer retreat,
and to organize themselves in order
to better serve the students for the

According to Heather Manley,

at Cal State San Marcos will
determine the gradshirt design.
She urges all students who are
interested to submit their design to
the Office o f Alumni Relations in

The Alumni Association is looking for creative and innovative
designs from students, rather than
having the Alumni Association
design it on their own.
All designs must be submitted by

ASI V.P. Removed Then Reinstated from page 1
The BOD met on Jan. 31 to
discuss and vote on the issue o f
Patel's reinstatement. Patel, in
a brief statement to the BOD,
admitted missing the retreat due
to an unexpected family emergency and asked to be reinstated.
The vote to reinstate Patel was
unammous.
Last spring, Shannon Tweed, a
human development major, was
elected to the BOD as the College
o f A rts and Sciences representative, also missed a retreat due to a
death in her family, and she was
removed from her position on the
BOD. Unlike Patel, Tweed was
not reinstated.
During the discussion portion
o f Patel's appeal, Alan Smith,
College o f Education representative, questioned why Patel should
be reinstated for missing a retreat
due to a family emergency when
Tweed was denied reinstatement
for the same reason.
Erik Roper, ASI vice president
o f communications, said his
decision to vote against reinstating Tweed was based on his
understanding that Tweed was
not going to attend the retreat
originally because she was going
to attend a wedding. Although
Roper admitted that his information could be considered hearsay,
he felt that Tweed's subsequent
family emergency didn't justify
[Tweed's] reinstatement because
she was going to miss the retreat
anyway.
When asked what she thought
o f Roper's statements at the
BOD meeting, Tweed, who was
in attendance at the recent BOD
meeting, replied that she was
"shocked," and added that even
though Roper admitted his information was hearsay, " It bothers
[her] that no one has asked [her]
to tell [her side o f the story]."
After the elections in the
spring o f 2002, a three-day ASI
retreat was scheduled for June,
immediately following final
exams. According to Patel, the
purpose o f the " summer" retreat
is for the new BOD members to
get to know each other, to set
goals, and to learn about their
jobs and the ASI organization.
Tweed said that she advised
Brown that she would miss the
retreat because o f an out o f

changed the dates o f the retreat to
accommodate Tweed.

to give details explaining that
she "wanted to respect Shannon's
privacy." Brown added that she
was hesitant to discuss Shannon's
case because a lot o f the discussion between them was done privately in closed sessions. Brown
did reiterate that the situations o f
Tweed and Patel were unrelated.
When Tweed was asked i f
Patel should have been denied
reinstatement, she said, "No. I 'm
glad they kept Arti. [Patel] works
hard and deserves her position."
Tweed explained that she felt
she was treated differently from
Patel, in part because she " wasn't
a part o f [the executive committee] group," because she had run
on a different slate than Patel
and Brown. However, Brown
said, " half o f the voting executive members [did not run] on my
slate [either]."
Tweed pointed out that " they
replaced me with someone who
didn't go to the retreat either."
Tweed ended by saying, " My
teachers were understanding

member], couldn't the executive
committee have been, too?''

After acknowledging students'
request for a storage area, ASI
arranged for the delivery and
installation o f 40 pay-to-use
lockers. This includes a separate

to know that Crystal [Folk] was
thinking about how to make [the
lockers] available to the student
population I serve," said John

As a result o f the recent theft
and damage done to the property
in the ASI lounge, the future
o f the lounge is in jeopardy.
Keith Speers explained that the

T he Father o f Black History Month from page 1
Woodson noticed that what was
written about blacks generally
portrayed them as socially inferior to whites. For this reason he
founded the Association for the
Study o f Negro Life and History
(now called the Association for
the Study o f Afro-American Life
and History) in 1915 to promote
the integration o f blacks into
history books. Then, in 1916,
he founded the widely respected
Journal ofNegro History.
Already known for his work in
the black community, Woodson
was far from done. His crowning achievement came in 1926
with the inception o f Negro History Week, the second week in
February. The week was chosen
because Frederick Douglass and
Abraham Lincoln share birthdays during that week. Since this
remembrance has been adapted
and lengthened to Black History
Month, there has been a long
running joke that February was
selected because it is the shortest
month o f the year.
The fact remains that there are
a number o f significant reasons
as to why February remains
the month to celebrate AfricanAmerican history:
•
On Feb. 23,
1868, W.E.B. Dubois,
a civil rights leader
and co-founder o f the
National Association for
the Advancement o f Colored People (NAACP),
was born.
•
O n Feb. 3, 1870,
the 15th Amendment
was passed. This granted
black people the right to
vote.
•
On Feb. 25,
1870, Hiram R. Revels
took office as the first
black Senator in United
States History.
•
On Feb. 12,
1909, the NAACP was
founded.
•
O n Feb. 1, 1960,
a group o f black Greensboro, N.C. college students began a sit-in at a
segregated Woolworth's
lunch counter in what
would become a civilrights movement milestone.
•
O n Feb. 21,
1965, three black Muslims shot the militant
black leader who promoted Black Nationalism, Malcolm X, to
death.
Although Woodson and others
like him have helped in the effort
to bring neutral, balanced and
unbiased records to academia
there is still much work to be
done. Only with similar continued efforts can the U.S. history be
interpreted accurately.

There is a special group o f people at Cal
State San Marcos. They are international
students. These students come from all
over the world, in search o f higher education and in hope o f unlimited opportunities. There are approximately 100 full
time international students enrolled this
semester at CSUSM. Countries as far away
as Yemen, Oman, and Greece are represented, along with countries as close as
Canada and Mexico.

order to breathe their first fresh breath o f
air in America. This feeling o f euphoria
dies quickly, and panic sets in when all o f
the pre-departure preparations are put to
the test. Will there be a place to live? Will I
get all my classes? Questions such as these
may plague the students' minds for weeks.
Although a scenario like this may not
be the case for every international student,
it gives some insight into what obstacles
must be overcome when traveling around
the world to receive higher education.
Traveling over these great distances to
vacation is comprehendible to most students, but imagine what it would be like to
travel half way around the world to attend
school for an extended period o f time.
Takashi Sasaki, who has participated
in several international student programs
in the U.S., shares many o f the same feelings o f frustration and stress expressed in
this fictional portrayal. "The language and
everyday life are the most difficult," said
Sasaki.
Upon getting off o f the airplane, after a
twenty hour flight, many international students may feel that their eyes have gotten

directing them where to go. I t may don
upon her/him that, although they have a
fairly good grasp on the English language,
the option to speak in their native language
is no longer available. The reality o f the
situation is that international students now
have to eat, sleep, and speak English every
minute o f every day.
"The most simple tasks such as setting
up a bank account, or going grocery shopping, sometimes end up to be the most
difficult thing to do," said Sasaki. He also
remarked that everyday life was only a
portion o f the problems that international
students face. In many instances, financial
matters and immigration regulations can
be the biggest bump in the road for international students.
They can most likely expect a wonderful
greeting from the infamously unfriendly
U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (I.N.S.). An intense interrogation, in
English, with an inspector usually leads to
a frenzy o f stamping, stapling, folding, and
more stamping of immigration documents.
On most occasions, it is to the delight o f
the international student that they are
informed o f the processing fees, and a
secondary inspection, where the student's
bags will be t om open and searched vigorously. Usually, after spending a considerable amount o f time repacking all o f their
extremely personal items, international
students finally will get the chance to step
out of the front doors o f the terminal, in
When asked why he chooses to continue
to stay in the U.S., Sasaki said that the
experience was a once in a lifetime chance,
and the people and opportunities available
are unlike anywhere else in the world. I t is

keeps international students from being
deterred b y the ofistacles that often come
up while working toward a degree in a foreign country.
Danielle McMartin, who has been the

She remarked that like American students,
international students face the same worries o f getting all o f their classes, achieving
good grades, and graduating as quickly as
possible. However, she also notes the differences that set international students in a

Since the events o f 9/11, rules and regulations have become even more strict. The

Is There Liberal Bias At Cal State San Marcos?

says, "Liberal bias on campus has

CSUSM senior communication
major, Anna Hall, expressed a
similar sentiment stating, " The

no one sees the conservative side
o f things, only the liberal."
In the past weeks, parents
and students alike have leveled
charges o f liberal bias at UCSD
and some o f its faculty members.
These charges include the claim
that UCSD is indoctrinating the
students with a liberal ideology,
and telling them what to think, act,
and feel about certain legislation.

Niedenthal, a member o f the

said, "There is a lack o f interest in
the liberal position and a leaning
toward the conservative." Sociology major Kunta Jones agreed
and stated that it was " a contradictory question, [considering]
that we call ourselves a 'democratic' society."
While many students believe
that liberal bias on college campuses is a threat to their academic
freedom, one o f the core values
found in the CSUSM catalogue
is academic freedom. Professors
and students alike are entitled to
full freedom in their research, but
professors have to give an acceptable performance in the classroom, according to university
standards. CSUSM believes that,
"education depends upon the free
expression and exchange o f ideas
in the search for truth. Academic
freedom is the freedom to express
any view, popular or unpopular,
and to defend that point o f view
in open exchange. The university supports freedom o f speech,

The question o f liberal bias has
professors apprehensive about
answering the question o f liberal
bias. Communication professor
Michael Huspek commented,
"The question 'is there liberal bias
on campus at CSU San Marcos?'
itself was biased and what should
be asked is, 'What counts as
academic freedom?"' Arts and
Sciences professor David Avalos
gave a similar response by stressing the importance o f academic
freedom. Avalos said, "Academic
freedom is dependent upon free
speech and its free exposition
and is not limited to any personal
agenda."
Mark Appelbaum, a professor
at UCSD, explained his position
by saying he wanted to "make
sure students understand that faculty members have opinions. The
fine line between fact and opinion
is not always clear."

Pride Staff Writer
From traditional Korean dance
to modem to ballet, 40 dancers,
both male and female o f the
Korean National University o f
A rts (KNUA), demonstrated to be
an appropriate opener for the new
theatre at the Arts Building o f Cal

Feb. 12 at 6 p.m.
Beginning with a Korean
scarf dance, Salpuri, (free from
"sal") which literally means to
free one from all calamitous
events like death and illnesses.
The performers captured the
audience's attention with a
peaceful traditional Korean
Dance with delicate hand and
feet movements - an introduction
to more and more delightful
surprises that were about to
come.
The second piece on the
program was La Esmeralda, a
ballet based on a novel written by
Victor Hugo in 1831, and directed
for KNUA by Kim Hae Shik. The
third piece, called What's going
on? is a modem dance piece
choreographed by Joun Mi Sook.
This piece was described as an
interpretation o f "love, wrath,
envy, pleasure and hatred" where
all these emotions are "vanishing
in vain." Starting with an empty
stage and one man trying to stand
still with dozens o f baseballs, the
setting turned into a platform
o f passing, rolling and biting
between men, women, and the
baseballs. The KNUA describes
this piece as, "There is unknown
tension. There is an unknown
festival; about the height, about
the depth, about the breadth."

demands had been met: that Pepsi issues

culture, that the soda company donates
5 million to the Ludacris Foundation, a

uproar over Pepsi's partnering with Atlanta's hip-hop Superstar Ludacris. O'Reilly
blasted Pepsi for doing business with what
he calls, " a thug rapper who espouses violence, intoxication and degrading conduct
toward women." No more than twenty-four
hours later Pepsi announced that Ludacris
would be dropped from the ad as a spokesperson and apologized to anyone who was
offended by the company's association·

The purpose o f this College
Republican chapter is to make
students aware o f the misconceptions and stereotypes o f the
Republican Party's values and

another viewpoint. The College
Republicans support American
and family values, as well as our
courageous troops who defend
this amazing country. We do not

solutions that provide for and prioritize human dignity~ individual
liberty and freedom. We support

tower that reached to the heavens
so they could become famous.
God thwarted their plans by confounding their language: that is,
He gave them different languages,
so they would not understand each
other. No common language, no
clear communication, no understanding- no tower.
According to Rep. John Doolittle (R-Calif.), Michigan offers
its driving test i n 2 0 different

I f English is spoken consistently at home and at school, the

is not to say that the original

O n t he contrary, I've spoken with
people who are first generation

clearly that their parents' native
language was never spoken at
home. The parents wanted to
encourage assimilation, and often
never spoke o f t he " Old Country."

America is a representative government, and certainly the Kurds

have earned the right to vote by
becoming citizens, and i n order
to exercise that right thoughtfully
and intelligently, they must be
able to read for themselves about
the issues and the candidates. It
would b e fairly easy for them to

unethical translators.
O ne language unites. Good,
clear communication doesn't

mean acculturation, although that

What 4o you. wa!ch o n
Wednesday nights? I have beeri
glued to the television watching
" The Bachelorette" for the last
few weeks. The show's exciting
content has managed to entrap
my interest from week to week.
Yes, I k now some o f you are
probably thinking that I have no
life and that I a m some single
female with hopes to b e t he next
bachelorette. B e assured, I watch
this for pure entertainment value
only. A nd no, I don't take notes
or dream o f being given the final
rose at the rose ceremony o f The
Bachelor!
" The Bachelorette" is a followup show to " The Bachelor,"
<:;~tti.-.g
which was created b y ABC. The
show consists o f seven episodes
viewed one episode every week,
with a cast o f 25 males and one
female, Trista (the bachelorette).
During this time, there are
many opportunities, activities,
a nd special dates where the
bachelorette gets the chance to
get up close and personal with
the bachelors. Then, at the end
o f e ach episode, she picks a
pre-determined number o f the
bachelors to move onto the next
round by offering them a rose as
a token o f h er choice.
I would never go o n national
television and think that I would
find someone that I would m arry
after knowing them for a few
weekS.
The idea o f " The Bachelor"
and "Bachelorette" was a novel
idea that many thought of, but
few dared to take love to this
level until a year ago when the
first season o f " The Bachelor"
was aired. Competition exists
and fights for favor with the
demographic o f those looking
for love, entertainment, and j ust
a good laugh. "Joe Millionaire"

Is there any place to sit on this
campus? Is there any place with
clean comfortable chairs? Is there
any place that doesn't reek o f old
food? Due to shoulder problems
and a heavy book load, m y m ain
focus thus far has been to find
close parking places and elevators. I think I've found most o f
them. My next project was to 5 nd
a suitable place to study.
First, I went to the Dome. The
oppressive odor o f b urritos and
cheese pizza was unavoidable
because o f the food court, but
at least I knew where to find the
Dome, and I knew I could probably get a seat. Have you sat i n
those chairs? The bistro-style
may b e visually appealing, and
they must have been cheap to buy
i n large quantities, but they are a
chiropractor's dream. Only supermodels and ten-year-olds could sit
comfortably for any length o f
time. The glare from the white
walls and the strobe effect o f t he
fluorescent overhead lighting gave
me a headache. After giving it the
old college t ry for over an hour, I
gave up and took o ff i n search o f
more comfortable digs.
I have a Tuesday morning class
and a Tuesday evening class, so
being the high-intensity overachiever I am, I decided to stay on
campus for the almost five hours
i n b etween classes. M y p lan was

which require comfortable chairs. I hauled my bag down the stairs,
which I paid for later i n shoul-
der and back pain, and looked
for a place to sit. There were a
few chairs at a rectangular table
and several computer stations. I
settled at a computer and tended
to some on-line work. I was done
in a short while and had no interest i n monopolizing a computer
to s urf or check e-mail. I could
have tried to navigate the stairs,
but with the load o f books I
pull behind me, I couldn't have
made it. Besides, I didn't want to
explain to the student at the desk
why I needed the special card to
access the handicap elevator. So,
I moved on.
I saw the signs last semester
for the Associated Students,
Inc. lounge, so I stepped inside.
I pushed through the choking
stench from the microwaved Hot

looked ratty and not clean, but my

" Who is going to get the rose,

Out o f all the reality
television relationship shows,
" The Bachelorette" and " The
Bachelor" s eem to b e the most
entertaining. I guess the show
is harmless as long as it is not
my heart that is being toyed
with. Still, a fter watching
" The Bachelor" and " The
Bachelorette," I prefer to stay on
this side o f the television screen.
Even i f I d on't have 25 guys to
pick from, I know I will meet
Mr. Right when the time comes,
j ust like everyone else. " The

Discrepancy in Treatment of Two ASI Representatives is Challenged
By HONEE J. FOLK
Pride StaffWriter
I f memory serves me correctly,
within the pages o f The Pride,
there were several extremely
critical opinion submissions from
ASI president, Jocelyn Brown,
explaining
the
importance
and necessity o f attending
all required ASI retreats. Her
submission outlined in detail
the weight attached to such
retreats and described an elected
representatives' lackofattendance
as negligent and detrimental to
the entire student body.
Her letters were in response
to an opinion piece from fellow
student Steve Compian, who
directed frustrations at the ASI
board for denying Shannon
Tweed the opportunity to carry
out her duties as the elected
College o f Arts and Sciences
Representative. Shannon missed
the weeklong summer retreat due
to the death o f a close relative
and had to attend to her family
responsibilities.

B y GABRIEL MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
It doesn't look like there's any
way out o f it now. The United
States will be going to war with
Iraq, against the wishes o f the
U N and o f millions o f American
people. An unprecedented peace
movement is beginning, one
which is mobilizing before the
war even starts. This is a little
heartening to me. The protests
aren't going to do anything, and
the protestors have to know it.
But, people are still trying to
make their voices heard. That's
one good thing that might come
o f it, a return to dissent and the
refusal to just go along with
public policy.
The government is likely asking
itself why such a peace movement
is starting. The war isn't going
to be fought here. No occupying
army will march through our
streets. Our system o f government
and way o f life won't b e changed
when it's over. O ur cities won't be
bombed - at least not by the Iraqi
government, though terrorist
actions will almost certainly
increase as a result o f this war and
the increased American presence
in the Middle East. There will
likely not be a military draft,
and there won't even be any new
taxes to help pay for this war. At
least not right away. The Bush
administration seems to be going
out o f its way to make sure that we
won't have to unduly suffer for a
war our country will be involved
in. This seems to be as much to
build support as anything else,
but the war still has no support.

war. And i f you can't have any
sympathy for the losses they are
soon to endure, at least fear the
retribution they and their allies
will harbor towards us. They say
that Iraq will be rebuilt, much the
way that Germany and Japan were
after World War II. I hope I'm
wrong, but I feel that the puppet
government that will b e controlled
by the oil hungry Americans will
be seen by the rest o f the world as
neo-colonialism, not democracy.
Military enforced democracy is
not democracy.
Again, this doesn't have to be
about Iraq. I would feel this way
were we at war with North Korea
or Afghanistan. I wonder how
the people i n Vietnam, Grenada,
Panama, and Kosovo managed
to pick up and start over after the
damage done to them. I feel for
the wrecked landscape o f India
and Pakistan as they fight each
other, for the Russians and the
Chechnians. And I feel sorrow
for the American families that
have and will suffer losses, in this
war and in others. This is really
about all the wars that have been
fought before and those that peace
movements will fail to stop in the
future. The thing I hate about
warfare is the way that it disrupts
ordinary life. We - all o f us, not
just Americans - deserve a chance
to live in our homelands free o f
the destruction that war brings.
Do innocents in so-called enemy
countries have to be victims to
our political games?
I want to end this with a quote
I first read in high school, that
seemed then and now to sum up
my feelings on war. The words are
from the peace activist Reverend
Harry Emerson, from 1937,
and they didn't stop the coming
second world war. " I renounce
war for its consequences, for the
lies it lives on and propagates, for
the undying hatred it arouses, for '
the dictatorships it puts in place o f
democracy, for the starvation that
stalks after it. There are things
worse than war, and war brings
all o fthem."

Vandalism forces Lounge closure Dorm

A fter an incident of suspected
vandalism involving a damaged
couch last Monday, ASI closed
the student lounge Tuesday
morning, reopening it Friday
on an ASI board decision to
establish a formal Student
Lounge Committee.
ASI Vice President of External
A ffairs Erik Roper said of the
damage, "It looks like a k nife

It looks like someone
intentionally cut it."
ASI addressed the issue in its
Friday board meeting agenda,
in which Executive V P John

saying, "It was more than likely
caused by an accident. It was not
intentionally gashed."
Beau Faasamala, member

f orm of help. The three licensed
psychologists, along with t hree
interns, working at SHS have
provided an open ear to several
different cases, f rom stress management and sexual f rustration to
eating disorders and substance
abuse.
Problems don't always need
to have f ace value, but can pertain to events f rom one's past.
Psychologist Fritz Kreisler says,
"Many students use our services
to t alk about past concerns, such
as childhood abuse or molestation, and how these might b e
a ffecting them now.... You name
it, and w e'll work with it."
Although there isn't anywhere
closer for students to go, SHS
will o ften bring special events
and presentations to the campus.
Support groups are also available.
While the recent f ee increase
couldn't b ring SHS onto the
campus immediately, it has
helped the counseling department.
"It is likely that the fee increase
will support an increase psychiatry services, which are definitely

Roper said likewise, "This
damage was only the straw that

had issues with having our

tends to go on in the lounge."
LK member Royce Finlayson
said, "They're j ust trying to

of elements of the society that
they don't want hanging around

Roper responded to such
sentiment in the board meeting,
saying, "I hope that the people
that frequent the lounge don't
think that this is a punishment
geared toward any specific group
of individuals."
Poggi said concordantly, "My
experience with them is that
we've worked together to find
solutions.
I would certainly
disagree that they're being
discriminated against."
In an amicable concession
among Lounge Krew members
and ASI VP of finance Crystal
Folk, a formal Student Lounge
Committee was initiated at
Friday's board meeting, to be
chaired by LK member Michael
Kosich ("Dr. K").
Dr. K addressed the board
with a motion to activate the
committee, saying, "I would like
to offer my help in any way as a
member of the Lounge Krew on
campus."
ASI President Honey Folk
declared the board's decision,
saying, "This board has a
consensus to reopen the lounge
and form the committee and
begin meeting."

�VARIETY
Students balancing parenting
and higher education
BY MICHELLE V ELARDE
Pride Staff Writer
They look like typical college
students sitting outside of Starbucks d rinking c offee and cramming for a midterm. They spend
hours in the library, hunched
over a computer, researching for
reports. They complain about the
b rutal commute they face every
morning on the freeways of San
Diego County.
These students, however, have
a d ifferent situation—they are
parents as well as students.
Here at CSUSM, the studentparent population is a diverse
group. It is impossible to make
generalizations about studentparents, for everybody has a different story to tell.
D oing it all: the world of a
single mother
Claudia Pawlowski, biology
major, looks like she j ust graduated high school, with her welltoned figure and her brown hair
swept into a casual bun. Nevertheless, she is almost 30, and
on Monday at 5 p.m., her day is
nowhere close to being over.
Every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday, Claudia wakes up
early to take her nine-year-old
daughter to school. A fterwards,
she drives f rom El Cajon to San
Marcos to make her 9 a.m. class.
"Everything is on the go," she
said. "My life is overwhelming."
When her school day ends
in the evening, Claudia then
travels to hospitals throughout
San Diego and works the graveyard s hift. She spends her night
observing people with sleeping
disorders, while she herself only
sleeps on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day.
Claudia's mother helps her
raise her daughter, but Claudia
said that most of the work falls on
her own shoulders. She said that
being a single parent means that
she needs to b e her daughter's
"mom, dad, brother and sister."
Her responsibility as a parent
o ften means that school is
extremely difficult. "Getting
an A is almost impossible," she
said. "We both have homework
together." She recalled a time
when her daughter had a science
project due the next day, and she
herself had three assignments to
finish.
Even though continuing her
education has been tough, Claudia wants to finish so that she

Now, he finds himself back
where he started

CSUSM, with a four-year-old
daughter, a college-educated

and a d ifferent perspective on his

" My attitude has changed since
I was a f reshman," he said. " I'm
more focused on my education
now t han I probably was back
then."
"Being a father, and having
responsibilities, and having a
daughter and having to work

things in perspective," he said.
"Being a parent makes you a

that, because you look at your

of yourself at the same time. If
I want my kid to b e committed to school and committed to

Ryan is taking 19 units, and

I know if a teacher gives me

I t hink last week's issue of T he
Pride is a sufficient example of
the solidification of a semester's
worth of work. There is a f eeling
of maturation as we come into
the final issues of the semester
with a good balance of content
and a refined process of p utting
the paper together. I feel we are
moving in the right direction:
what do you feel?
I was anticipating some f eedback regarding Chad Spink's
article about the sex toy workshop, "A pleasurable event," but
I did not receive a word on this
article. In the past, readers have
expressed concern over articles
that may be a questionable representation of our campus (i.e.
the penis pump and the sex doll
articles), yet criticism connected
with Spink's article has b een
nonexistent.
Coming f rom the perspective of someone who actually
attended the event, I would say
that this workshop was educational and beneficial. I am
confident that the f ew h undred
other people in attendance would
agree with me. I can u nderstand
if there were some a ffronted b y
such a workshop; however, the
pragmatic reality of the p ermeation of inherent sexuality in
humans w arrants t he necessity of
education on the matter. T hus, I
feel the event was suitable f or our
campus and the related article
does not t arnish our image.

"Holy
Generic
Hardcore
Batman!"
Grace Gale's new album entitled, "The Worst Stab Wound
Ever," proves there are too many
generic hardcore bands trying to
make it big.
Listeners are subjected to fiveminute metal/hardcore songs that
follow formulaic song structures,
and offer nothing new for listeners. This album is made up of
heavy breakdowns, emotionless
choruses, and nonexistent melodies.
The third track entitled
"MRSA in Minor," includes a
guitar solo that is the most blatant Iron Maiden rip-off to be
recorded, ever.
The vocals are lackluster and
fail to convey the deep lyrical
content that sparks emotion in
the heart of every hardcore fan.
Single tear.
Listeners will find relief in
the fact that the drums are semispectacular. Lots of double-kick
drum and fast fills, breathe some
life into the album.
The inability to obtain any
information about the band
f rom liner notes, or even a website, makes the album even less
appealing. The boys in Grace
Gale should pay a bit more attention to detail, and spend some
time on the production of their
next album if they want to "make
i t" in the world of hardcore.
Although it failed to catch the
attention of this critic, it may be
of interest to fans of Norma Jean,
Poison The Well, Iron Maiden
and Converge.

A window iii the north stairwell
of Academic Hall between the first
and second floors was smashed out
on January 20 sometime around 10
a.m. according to CSUSM police.
Some of the glass fell on an
unidentified female student sitting
below the window. When officers
arrived on the scene shortly thereafter she was taken to Student Health
Services where glass was removed
from her hair and clothing.
Investigating University Police
Officer Hernandez described the
victim as being "very lucky" that she
escaped serious injury or death as
the average size of the larger shards
of glass was "six to twelve inches in
length". The victim was apparently

First doctorate offered at
CSUSM
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Cai State San Marcos now offers a doctorate degree in education.
The Ed.D. in Education Leadership is
offered through the College of Education. The degree is awarded in partnership with the Teacher Education program
at the University of California, San Diego
and San Diego State University.
The program focuses on advanced
training in research, professional practice, instructional practice and management within educational institutions.
"The program is designed to be completed in three years, including the writing and defense of the dissertation. Each
student designs a research study and
during the initial two years of the program
as part of the required coursework. We
have designed the program to maximize
the time the students have to study and
engage in class work, as well as complete
the dissertation. We believe the momentum of the program will strengthen the
students' ability to complete the disser-

tation in a timely fashion," said Jennifer
Jeffries, coordinator of the joint doctoral
program for CSUSM.
There are 18 students in the first cohort
of the program.
"With the inception of this program,
Cal State San Marcos joins in the statewide effort to provide a deep pool of
leaders who are intent on expanding educational opportunities and success for
the K-12 students in our region. This
program will enable the candidates to
translate the best theory into practice.
It reflects our on-going commitment to
the surrounding educational communities," stated University President Karen
Haynes.
Cal State San Marcos is looking forward to joining other CSU and UC campuses in offering the Ed.D. in Educational Leadership.
"This offering adds a new and compelling element to our academic mission.
Our relationship with the K-12 community will be enhanced by providing this
program. I look forward to seeing the
contributions these doctoral students
make to the body of literature about leadership, as well as to the practice of leadership in public schools," stated Cal State
San Marcos Provost, Bob Sheath.
The Black Student Union (BSU) along
with Associated Students Inc. (ASI), the
African-American Faculty/Staff Association (AAFSA), the Arts and Lecture
Series, the Office of the Dean of Students,
the Office of Student and Residential Life
(SRL) and the Ethnic Studies program are
kicking off Black History Month early with
an event tomorrow, January 26, entitled
"Introduction to Black History Month," in
Arts 111 from 6-8 p .m..
In total there are eight events planned
by the BSU and its cosponsors to celebrate Black History Month in 2005. The
number of events this year is up from the
five events held on campus last February.
The President of the BSU Onyinyeh
"Ruby" Udeh attributed the growth to an
"increase in membership (in the BSU)...
not because of the increase in the enrollment of African American Students at
CSUSM but due to the interest and motivation of peers to celebrate with each other."
Udeh expressed her goal of getting
African-American students," to come
together and share our thoughts and opinion on campus life," saying that she felt, "it
would really make a great impact on our
fellow achievers (students)."
"The main thing I would want the students to do during these Black History Month events is to come out and enjoy
themselves. I would like them to come out
and celebrate the African Heritage nothing more, nothing less," said Udeh.
Although the Black Student Union is
the sponsor of this years activities, Udeh
expressed gratitude towards and gave
credit to the cosponsors of the event
saying, "ASI, the AAFSA, the Multicultural department, our advisor Gezai,
the Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard,
SRL .... all have really given the BSU so
much support and encouragement during
all the planning of these events. They have
really contributed a whole lot to make sure
everything runs smoothly. Without these
other organizations I don't know how the
BSU could have done it."
According to the U.S. Department of
State website, Black History Month has

HISTORY, from page 1
been celebrated since February
1976. Prior to 1976 Negro History Week was celebrated in the
first week of February beginning in 1926. The Association
for the Study of Afro-American Life and History (ASALH)
determines the yearly theme for
Black History Month. This
year's theme is the 100 year
anniversary of the beginning of
the Niagara Movement.
According to the Journal
of Negro History, the Niagara Movement was founded
by civil rights activist W.E.B
DuBois in 1905 in Niagara
Falls, Canada with the goals
of winning voting rights for
WANTED
African Americans, ending
school segregation, and electing officials opposed to racism
and prejudice. The movement
failed to win widespread support from blacks although many
of its ideas were later adopted
by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP) when it was
founded in 1909. In 1910 the
Niagara Movement officially
disbanded.

Fieldhouse: More than a

Different ways to utilize our campus gymnasium
BY PATRICK LONG
Pride Staff Writer
The Cal State San Marcos Field House/
University Student Union offers a wide
variety of amenities to assist students on
campus. The Field House is f unded by
student fees every semester and has yet to
be used to its f ull potential and has many
activities to offer students at no additional
cost.

building. The weight room is filled with
modern equipment from free weights to
cardio equipment. The workout areas offer
not only an up-to-date weight room but
also a room for aerobics, volleyball, basketball and other activities sponsored by
the Associated Student Union.
Classes are offered to students on many
topics such as nutrition or stress management. "We offer an array of fitness and
wellness programs for students, faculty
and staff," said Devan Romero, the Field
House Fitness Coordinator. Romero added
that she would be interested to hear from
students and staff on their desire for any
particular health or wellness topic for a
class. These well developed classes are
designed to aid students in their college
life and beyond.
The Field House is hosting a Wellness
Fair exposition on the 9th of March, from
11a.m. to 2p.m. The fair will have vendors,
health resources, food and massage tables.
Throughout March, they are holding wellness seminars that focus on specified subjects with guest speakers.
Also worthwhile is the availability
of spaces set aside for students to hold
meetings or gatherings. According to the
campus website, the Field House offers
plenty of space for students to accommodate group meetings and banquets.
The meeting rooms can be utilized by
any group or organization, with students
having priority booking. With the availability of catering, the Field House is a
great place to hold meeting for clubs and
organizations.

How to doal with the
price of textbooks
BY ZACH SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
"The price of textbooks," say it out loud
and count how many students reflexively
spit. There really is too much empathy
within this issue to enjoy the bubbles of my
soap box, but the dirt has already worked
itself in between my teeth.
"They publish a new edition even when
they don't have much (if any) new information.. .they include some workbook or
cd supplement that you never use but that
greatly affects price and re-sale." These
sentiments don't fester out from only
myself, or you, or even the cute butt at the
front of the buy-back line; they come from
the proprietor of our local off-campus
bookstore.
What, then, does it tell you when someone who earns their bread selling textbooks
lambastes the practices of the very industry that supplies their wares? It means that
you are to blame. No, not the publishers,
not the professors, not those pesky renaissance guys; you. It was you who went to
the campus bookstore instead of E-bay, or
Amazon, or the off-campus bookstore, just
because it was closer is faster is 'easier'.
Actually, there's a very good chance
that you had to park down in the dirt, in
which case the walk to the other bookstore is probably closer by both geography
and topography. So you, try saying this
out loud: "I'm the reason textbooks are
so expensive." Put on your sunglasses or
other protective eyewear first. And even
if you did spit it on the man by completely
circumventing the campus bookstore, I bet
you didn't send a nasty package to the publisher of your latest overweight text, which
you know would be much sexier if they'd
trim it down to only the chapters you'll
read, and even cheaper to photocopy if
purged of everything you won't remember
after the class.
I bet you also didn't ask your professor
to do more than sigh and shake their heads
at how expensive and under-funded the
worms in the landscaping are. These educators are cool and on your side, and that
doesn't make these books any cheaper.
Make sure they tell you where to get these
books at cheaper used prices. Make sure
they say it's okay to not have your book
till a few weeks into the class and in the
meantime borrow it from someone else
or lean against a dark corner in the book-
store. Don't photocopy it, that would be
as unethical as price gouging, and that
might get you in trouble if anyone from
the publisher was monitoring the photocopy machines.
Most of all, talk to your class to make the
class make the professor promise not to use
any new editions for the next four years.
This isn't a currently overwhelming opponent like oil or Wal-Mart or women who
want to use contraception, this is just how
many keeper books you could buy with the
price of one you're hoping to return. This
is a PC upgrade that will be offered free in
another month, this is medicine that hopes
to addict you.

Study Abroad, it's more than just traveling
BY BRIAN REICHERT
Pride Staff Writer
Why not challenge yourself
by studying abroad in a different
country? Enrolling in the California State Study Abroad Program
is as easy as ever. Joining the program consists of filling out a few
applications and getting personal
recommendations. After that,
you can choose to study in such
countries as Sweden, China, Australia, Mexico, or even France.
Each year, there are more student
foreign exchanges opening up in
all parts of the world. Studying
Abroad with California State has
many other advantages as well.
Not only does your home campus
offer more support than any other
system, but it's very affordable as
well. A potential student only
has to pay Cal State tuition and
all financial aid that they are currently receiving can be applied to
all expenses. Also, this is the only
program that lasts two straight
semesters, so students really have
a chance to get acquainted with a
different culture.
Jan Stockey has the title of
the Cal State San Marcos Study
Abroad Coordinator, here on
campus. She is in charge of networking, compiling and sharing
important international information, and overall recruitment
for future programs. In a recent
interview she stated "Most of
the students tell me it's the best
decision they've ever made."
After an informative conversation with the coordinator who
greets everyone with a warm
smile, she concluded saying that
"students always come back and
they have wonderful stories of

price then return it, now. If you think
you can look your professor in the eye ask
them if they benefit in any way from the
sale of a text, ask them if they'd be willing
to aid a boycott. Buy that text used or not
at all and think back to those days when
the whole class got together and took that
walk, somewhere between a field trip and
a bathroom break, to get their textbooks
from the library.
Buy it used or not at all, or become a
ranting English major who has that luxury
every semester. And even if someone else
is paying for them, especially if someone
else is paying for them, the least you can
do is extend a little courtesy to this ethereal someone's very tangible checkbook.
the places they've seen, the great
friendships they've made, and
how much they've learned about
themselves. Believe it or not,
these are not marketing lines;
this is the actual feedback that
students give me every year.
I have also had the chance to
study abroad through Cal State
San Marcos. I can definitely
say that the whole experience
changed my life entirely. I had
the opportunity to study in Santiago de Chile. This sprawling
capital is located right next to
the Andes Mountains and I had
the chance to both live and learn
in a culture which is definitely
modern but with many great customs and traditions. I encourage everyone to study abroad at
least once in your college career.
You will come back with different perceptions, ideas, stories and
many international friends. A fter
all, it's easier than you think and
you never know about something
until you experience it for yourselves.

don't want this to happen
to us. It's becoming scary
that people are losing their
confidence in the dollar.
President Bush constantly
says he "doesn't want to
push problems to future
presidents or the future
generations," but what we
don't realize is that many
times, he is creating more
problems than solutions.
Last week we saw a set of
extravagant victory parties
for the elected President.
I'm not saying that this
president doesn't deserve
an inauguration, but 50
million is a lot of money.
According to Timothy
Dwyer, Washington
Post Staff Writer, "The
inauguration is expected
st
to be one of the most
expensive in history."
They report that the cost
to us tax payers for the 3
days of events will top 50
million. I think this a bit
outrageous especially since
we are in "war time." The
last inauguration (2001)
cost 40 million which is
25% more expensive that
the inauguration in 1997.
So during the next few
years I want all of you
to be skeptical of what
Bush is trying to do for
the country. Especially
the fiscal conservatives
on this campus, ask your
self, is every thing this
president done worth it?
Has he eliminated terrorist
activity or spawned a new
breeding for extremist
Muslims wanting to join
Al-Queda? Is taking a go it
alone policy going to help
us in the so-called "War on
Terror"? In every solution
there are always positives
and negatives, but this
administration seems to
really dismiss the negatives
very quickly. Keep asking
all politicians their plans,
left and right. Ask them:
Is this a solution, or does
it just create a lot more
problems? I personally
feel many actions by
this government will not
be beneficial to us now,
tomorrow, and in the
future. But it takes more
than just the opposition
party tofixthe problem.
We the people mustriseup
and demand accountability
or threaten these elected
officials with their jobs in
2006.

"Assault on Precinct 13" is
a clash between a cop thriller,
a morality tale and occasional
humor. These genres work
well together and the film gives
them their moments. But it also
employs an old and reusable storyline which I affectionately call
"The Rio Bravo Syndrome."
You'll know why in a minute.
Precinct 13 is an old police station ready to be torn down. A
stormy New Years Eve leaves two
cops and a secretary on graveyard shift. When a prison bus
transfer is delayed by a highway
accident, they hold up at the precinct until further notice. But one
of the prisoners is a notorious cop
killer awaiting trial. Suddenly, a
small army tries to invade the
station supposedly to free the cop
killer. The cops and the prisoners
team up to defend the station and
deal with traitors among them.
See, almost identical to the plot
of "Rio Bravo."
The two cops are Jake Roenick

(Ethan Hawke), a former undercover cop where his command left
two of two partners dead (he now

pain) and Jasper O'Shea (Brian
Dennehy), a veteran on the verge
of retirement. The secretary, Iris
Ferry (Drea de Matteo), has a
turn on for "bad ass" guys. The
cop killer is Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburne), who always has
a quick cool about everything.
The other prisoners are Beck
(John Leguizamo), a babbling
drug addict, Smiley (JaRule), a
street counterfeiter and Anna
(Aisha Hinds), a criminal proclaiming her innocence. Marcus
Duvall (Gabriel Byrne) is the
intelligent and ruthless leader of
"The Facts Behind the
Helsinki Roccamatios"
the small army.
French director Jean-François
Richet, in his American film
debut, knows how to use his characters. No one takes more screen
time than they need to. Byrne can
play any bad guy to its best, its all
in his eyes. Fishburne can carry
any film with just his presence.
Hawke is no John Wayne, but
playing the idealistic honorable
cop once again (Training Day),
isn't cliché or boring, just assured
that he can do it and do it well.
After seeing thisfilmand other
recent cop films, such as "Narc,"
"Training Day" and "Dark Blue,"
the persona has changed; Hollywood has acknowledged the
realism of being a cop. They are
out of shape, have families that
worry, struggle to pay the bills,
cope with alcohol and risk their
lives. For that, I am grateful.

of Italian food. The private
booths that are prevalent at
the Old Spaghetti Factory are
excellent for small groups
of friends, or even a little
campus romance. Whether
a simple meal is what you
crave, or appetizers, salad,
and desert as well, the Spa-

ghetti Factory is a good
choice for each. The Old Spaghetti Factory can especially
boast its wide range of pastas.
As waiter and Cai State San
Marcos senior Tom Watson
notes, "everybody loves our
spumoni and you can't buy it
in stores!"
If you don't mind a little drive, a
whole host of notable restaurants
can be found one exit west on the 78,
off San Marcos Boulevard. The San
Marcos Brewery and Grill, which is
about a five-minute drive down "restaurant row" on San Marcos Boulevard, is a great micro-brewery to
visit.
Although the number of dishes
available may not be as extensive as
the Spaghetti Factory, the Brewery
does offer a range of styles of food,
including everything from hamburg-
ers to pasta to salad and even seafood.
Prices are comparable to the Spaghetti Factory, but the San Marcos
Brewery does offer one thing other
places near campus don't-their own
beer. One brew of note is the Oatmeal
Stout, which is a terrific dark beer
and must for connoisseur on campus.
Still, if something a little stronger is
desired after a tough day of classes
there are two small pubs across the
street, Penny Lane and Churchill's,
which are also worth a visit.
Also on "restaurant row," and a
good choice for lunch, is Submarina.
A step above most common subsandwich chains, Submarina has a
large variety of subs in three different sizes up to a foot long, with prices
usually in the $5-$10 range.
"The quality of our food is top
notch," notes Kenda Evans who
shares ownership with her husband.
Independently owned from the Submarina franchise, the Evans' Submarina takes pride in its fresh food,
high grade meats, and large portions.
Daily specials and soups also compliment Submarina's array of subs.
And country-like wooden furniture and knickknacks make it a nice
atmosphere inside, as does the quick
and friendly service.
Mr. Taco, Old Spaghetti Factory, San Marcos Brewery and Submarina are
just a few of the notable restaurants available to students on campus, but they
are all definitely worth a visit.
