CSUSM hosts Election 2010 Teach-in

TV

entirety of the population. Modern elections can be confusing
for many prospective voters, especially young people looking
to make fact-based decisions.
The election forum, held at
1 p.m. Oct. 26 in Academic Hall
102, was designed to offer a nonpartisan discussion of the 2010
candidates and selected propositions, hoping to give CSUSM

After the panel presented both

ask questions of the panel. The
thoughtful quality of the questions showed that students want
to obtain a clear picture of an issue before voting "yes" or "no."
CSUSM student Nicole Main,
who participated in the event,
thought, "[The forum] was a great

A COMMUNITY O F COURAGE
S tudent v eterans s upporting o ne a nother
BY CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
In 2008, Cal State San Marcos
became one of the newest schools
to feature a veterans center to
support students who are current
or former members of the military. Today, the CSUSM Veterans
Center serves several functions.
The center not only provides
a place for the ever-expanding
population of student veterans to
hang out, but also provides much
needed information on the ben-
efits of being a student veteran.
The United States Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) works
with the CSUSM Veterans Center to help student veterans. The
center serves as an intermediary to guide the process of acquiring benefits from the VA.
The CSUSM Veterans Center
mediates between students and
the VA in order to ensure students get the most help possible.
Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill,
student vets are eligible to receive help with their tuition and
l^^^ffifi
fees, monthly housing, books,
and supplies. Legislation like the
Post-9/11 GI Bill has allowed
easier reintegration of veterans
into schools once their service is
complete. It is available for veterans seeking undergraduate or
graduate degrees, as well as vocational and technical training.
The Veterans Center recruits
veterans as potential students to
CSUSM by setting up booths at
junior colleges and military bases. Their goal is to let veterans
know that CSUSM is a veteran
friendly campus that strives to
help them as much as possible.
The CSUSM Veterans Center also provides information on
veteran life outside of school.
They help student vets find out
what veteran activities are taking place in the local area.
While information is essential,
the Veterans Center serves as a
friendly environment for student
veterans to relax, drink coffee,
watch TV, or surf the web. The
center features a large TV that the
vets use to play some of their favorite movies including "Avatar,"
"The Hurt Locker," "The Dark
Knight," and "Super Troopers."
Student veterans enjoy a movie at University Hour.
When two members
of The Pride staff told me
they wanted to do a mock
debate for the paper, I
raised my eyebrows. I may
have also rolled my eyes.
We've all been inundated
with political information during this election
cycle, and I'm starting to
become a bit indifferent.
You might be, too. However, the issue of immigration is always on the edge
of our consciousness as
San Diegans. When Jillian
and Amy said they wanted
to debate a hypothetical
proposition,
involving
temporary closure of international borders, I gave it
some thought. This issue is
becoming more and more
polarized, and it may be
something we see on our
ballots at some point in
the future. The opinions
included in this debate do
not represent the beliefs of
any staff member at The
Pride, including Jillian and
Amy. They are assuming
roles as part of an exercise,
meant to teach and inform.
To put it another way, they
got sick of all the ugly debates during this election,
so they made an intelligent
one of their own. We've in-

is free and open to everyone.
The center is located on the
third floor of Craven Hall. The
Veterans Center is not an official school club; therefore, the
center does not receive an operating budget from CSUSM.
They welcome donations of
anything from DVDs to food.
As the population of student veterans grows, so does this community of men and women eager
to earn their degrees. For more

AS: Ok, well, I appreciate your points of view,
Jillian, but I believe that,
I differ slightly in my assessment of illegal immigration. First o f f , immigration has been a part of
this country since its inception. There would not
be an America without illegal immigration. There
wouldn't be diversity
without illegal immigration. There wouldn't be
an America without this
diversity that has come
here, whether through the
system or not, and that's
the bottom line. There are
ways to become a citizen
of this country legally,
and that is one of the arguments that I hear quite
often about illegal immigrants is that they choose
not to become a citizen.
They choose to not follow
the rules of the country
that they are wanting to
live in. But becoming a
citizen is one heck of a
process, and some people
come here with eight children and they don't have
the time, and they work 20
hours a day and they don't
have the money to buy
the books to study all the
things they get tested on.
Jillian Kerstetter: Yes, I
will start us o f f . One of
the main arguments that
is usually presented by a
lot of political parties, political news activists, everything like that, is that
illegal immigrants, however unfortunate their circumstances are from their
country, have repeatedly
taxed our own economy,
meaning having to accommodate illegal immigrants
or students in our schools,
them taking away jobs
from our working class.
It's just become more of
a problem for us than it
has really been helpful for
them. It's always been a
Catch-22 situation, but I
think at this point, we need
to take a step back possibly, and look at the potential damage that could be See DEBATE, p g4

potentially ourfederal sectors if we keep allowing

From DEBATE, pg 3
It is illogical for many people
to go about legalizing themselves in the United States because they just can't do it. The
reason they come here is under
hardship, and when the country that suggests freedom and
equality imposes this on people
who just want a better life, it is
a contradiction in and of itself
JK: That is a very good point. And
surprisingly enough, I do agree
with some of them. We should be
a country that does as we claim,
takes in the tired, the weary, the
poor. And I alsoagree that this
is a country of immigrants. Like
every other country in the world,
we should have a system for becoming a citizen of this country.
If you can't follow that system,
you shouldn't be allowed in.
AS: You're right, countries
maintain regulation by imposing laws on anyone who wants
to be a part of that country. That
is not the illogical part. Perhaps what needs to be done is
to create less stringent rules on
what it takes to become a citizen. They just want to come to a
place where they can have a job.
JK: What is America saying to
those countries that these illegal
immigrants are coming from?
What about their own power as
a country to help their tired, their
weary, their poor? I think it's almost undermining them to say
that we offer this great refuge...
If you want to talk about the more
pertinent case in our scenario, of
California, considering this has
to come up. Obviously that is the
more pressing issue as far as illegal immigration. Why aren't we
extending a hand to the Mexican
government? Offering them solutions , you know, money, whatever to help rebuild their government that is failing their people?
AS: Well, although I can't name
specifically the things that this
country does for other countries,
I know based o f f , I don't know,
common knowledge that—we
don't—we're not passive. We are
not a passive country. We don't
stand by and allow for injustices
whether in our country or another. I think i f s unfair to suggest
that America is trying to take
on the problems of the world
because I don't think we are.

trying to take on necessarily every single problem of the world,

case-by-case basis. However, at
this point in time, it has been a
heated problem that many people
have many differing opinions on.
We need to get on the same page.

the problem. Policy is the problem. Once the United States gets

stop and realize that illegal immigration is not the problem, it's the
way we're spending our money.

War and veteran memorials
BY REBEKAH GREENE
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
To celebrate Veteran's Day,
students can take the time to
visit one or two of ijiany memorials spread throughout San
Diego County. Many of these
memorials are well-known tourist spots, while others reside like
hidden gems for the community to discover and appreciate.
With origins dating back to
1914, the Mount Soledad Memorial is one of the more recognizable memorials in San Diego.
The symbolic cross stands at 29
feet and is dedicated to Korean
War veterans. Surrounding the
cross are six walls of black granite, with thousands of memorial
plaques engraved with individual
stories to commemorate war veterans. Mount Soledad Memorial
holds a magnificent view of the
coast, placed high above La Jolla,
and serves as an important place
for visitors to take a glimpse
into history. This memorial is
open to the public from 7 a.m.
to 10 p.m. and is located along
La Jolla Scenic Drive South. For
specific driving directions, see
the memorial's site: http://www.
soledadmemorial.com/indexiitm.
Closer to San Marcos is the
Wall of Courage, a memorial in
Escondido's Grape Day Park.
The memorial is the result of
funds raised by a local elementary school, veterans' organizations, and the Escondido City
Council. The Wall of Courage
stands as a tribute to the men and
women who have served and continue to serve our country. The
statues consist of two men and a
woman standing in front of a wall
that is covered in plaques with
the names of those who served in
the military from World War I to
those who currently serve today.
Grape Day Park holds many more
memorials, including a Pearl
Harbor Memorial and a Veteran
Memorial dedicated to men and
women of all branches of service.
For directions and more information on the park's sites, visit:

("This Land is Your Land,"
Bruce Springsteen)
Found on Live 1975-1985, the
Boss's-rendition of Woody Guthrie's American classic features
Springsteen in fine form, making
a nice little tune ooze with emotion. Also in vintage Boss fashion, in this version the audience
hears a seemingly spontaneous
story to preface the performance.
Did you know "This Land is Your
Land" was written in response
to Irving Berlin's "God Bless
America" Woody disliked the
song and wrote "This Land" in
1940, in appreciation of the common people. It's a fine song, but
would I stick the original in my
iPod? Not a chance. But Springsteen's version? I already did.

Shakur. It's reminiscent of a time

your own musical taste doesn't
include hip-hop, "Changes" has a
way of making people delve deep
into the significance of America's
mixed culture. It's 2010, and the
United States is still fighting issues of racism and eurocentric
dominance. We can take a few
cues from Tupac and try to make
some changes. Whether these
issues in his song are personally relatable or not, everyone
can understand his message that
prejudice exists and needs our
attention. Tupac encourages all
people to create the changes we
want to see. As elections are approaching, you might ask yourself what's the point of voting?
We can change tomorrow by
having our say today. The time
to act is now. College students
have a voice worthy of attention.

Love Your Body event celebrates beauty
BY MAYA LIFTON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
On Thursday, the CSUSM Women's Center threw its annual "Love
Your Body" event. The event included many booths where visitors could
get a henna tattoo, and stop by the
wellness center booth, where health
information was passed out, and resources on maintaining a healthy sex
life were available. In addition to
booths, the event was served food,
water, snacks, candy, and back and
hand massages. Thee event also
featured a red carpet where people
had the opportunity to strut down
with confidence and make the statement of "I am beautiful and proud."
Jenilee Remigio, the Communication Coordinator at the Women's Center said, "The purpose of the event is
for women to embrace their bodies
as who they are, what they look like,
and know that they are beautiful just
the way they are, and to challenge
society's beauty standards." Unfortunately, society has put a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way.
This pressure can be found mostly in
American media, which presents
certain images to young girls of
what a woman should look like
and what beauty is. TV comj mercials have also become much
r
more provocative. The only way
for women to completely break

A student and a veteran
An insight look into the lives of military students
BY VANESSA CHALMERS
ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR
Honoring our Veterans is an annual tradition come Nov. 11. For those of us who
may not be directly linked to veteran, the
perception of one may often be misconceived as an older, pony-tailed grandpa,
eager to reminisce about the old days.
While many of our grandparents, indeed,
are veterans and worthy of that stereotype, the image is not all-encompassing.
At CSUSM, veterans walk our halls, are in
our classes, and share the same burdens of
student life as us. However, their academic
lives are tinged with the experiences that
only a life in the armed forces can bring.
When asked what one of the most challenging parts about returning to civilian
life as a student has been, vet Elijah Artiaga confesses, "Making friends." Having
come out of an camaraderie formed with
the people he served four years in the Marines with, finding people with common
life experiences has been a difficult mission but, Artiaga is not alone. The Veteran's Center at CSUSM, located in Cougar
Central, offers a common ground for veterans to hang out. Fellow vet Nighat Beg explains that after having served in* the Navy
for 10 years, the Veteran's Center has allowed her to meet people and make lasting
friendships outside of service. For Beg, her
challenge came in the form of fashion. "I
had to buy more civilian clothes!" she said.
Approaching college with years of
military experience in tow has definitely
instilled some beneficial learning tools
in many student vets. Responsibility and
punctuality are two things veteran Aaron
Green has been glad to apply to his academic career. "I come to class and hear
students make weak excuses about being late, because their alarm clocks were
broken, and I think, 'Really? Your alarm
clock was broken?'" Many veterans, like
Artiage, join the armed forces to fund their
college education, either attending school
while in service, or resuming their education after their service is complete. As a
result, student vets come to college with
more life experiences than the incoming
first years who transition to college straight
from high school. Often times, their experience in the service influences their career
path, like Beg, who explained that having
worked with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) patients in the Navy has
inspired her to pursue a graduate degree
in Social Work, specializing in PTSD.
For incoming student veterans, Beg encourages openmindedness. Moving from a
highly organized environment to one that is
more lax in time, duties, and even fashion,
it is important to "think outside the box"
and be open to new situations. As for the
upcoming holiday, our vets have veterans
of their own they would like to honor, such
as Green's friend Erik Wegmann in the
Navyfightingpiracy off the coast of Africa,
and Chad Geddes' family member Carlos
Ashlock, who went MIA during Vietnam.
As Nov. 11 draws near, The Pride
encourages you to remember to honor
the veterans past and present who have
dedicated their lives to make ours what
it is in this country: free, strong, and resilient. Thank you to Nighat Beg, Aaron
Green, Elijah Artiaga, Chad Geddes, and
Travis Riley for their contributions to this
piece and for their service to our country.

�Highlighting some of the most iconic war films
BY ASHLEY DAY
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Goriest War Film: Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Director Steven Spielberg propelled war movies to new heights with his adaptation of the horrific reality of
World War n . This action packed film, starring Tom Hanks as Capt. John H. Miller and an all- star cast (Matt
Damon, Edward Burns, and Tom Sizemore) set the standard for one of the most graphic battle scenes in a
movie. The first 15 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" begins with the June 6 1944 and Allied troops storming of the beaches of Normandy, France. The worst part of this opening scene is a dying soldier lying on the
ground screaming for his mother while his entrails are falling out of his stomach. "Saving Private Ryan" is
not a movie for the faint hearted. The film wonfiveAcademy Awards.
Honorable Mention: Black Hawk Down (2001)
Best Depiction of the War on Terrorism: The Hurt Locker (2009^
Last March, "The Hurt Locker" scored six Academy Awards (including Best Picture) making Kathryn
Bigelow thefirstfemale director to win Best Picture. Jeremy Renner plays the lead as Sergeant First Class
William James, leader of a highly trained bomb disposal team. Set in the year 2004 in Baghdad, the movie
focuses not on political or social problems, but the hardships of a soldier's tour of duty. Dangerous bomb
diffusion scenes reveal the skill it takes to survive in a place where nobody can be trusted. "The Hurt Locker"
shows the intensity and stress war can put on the soldier.
Honorable Mention: No End In Sight (2007)
Best Romance in a War Film: Gone With The Wind (1939)
"Gone With The Wind" appeared at a time in American history when life in our country was bleak. The country had suffered through the Great Depression and World War II was engulfing all of Europe. The plot of the
film - the tumultuous period of the Civil War - paralleled to the catastrophe Americans were suffering through
during "Gone With The Wind's" release. Thisfilmbecame an instant American classic. Clark Gable (Rhett
Butler) and Vivian Leigh (Scarlett O' Hara) portray one of the most heart wrenching romances in a movie.
O'Hara suffers through losing her status, husbands, innocence and strength, a child, and ultimately, her true
love (Butler).
Honorable Mention: Casablanca (1942)
Least Historically Accurate: The Patriot (2001)
Set in 1776, during the American Revolution, "The Patriot," follows the life of Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) a French-Indian war hero. Martin lives as a farmer in South Carolina with his seven children. Martin
remembers the brutality of the French-Indian war and decides to remain on the sidelines of the Revolution,
until his family is endangered by British troops. Some of the inconsistencies of this film are a torching of a
church full of people (never happened), slaves being able to enlist in war (never would have happened) and
an unfair exaggeration of British aggression toward Americans. This film did not make as much as it was
projected to at the box office.
Honorable Mention: Pearl Harbor (2001)
Best Philosophical Message in a War Film: Apocalypse Now (1979)
"Apocalypse Now" explores the madness of the Vietnam War. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, "Apocalypse Now" delves into the minds of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) and Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando)
during one of the most horrid wars in history. Cpt. Willard is sent to kill an insane Kurtz, but this journey
changes Willard in ways he did not know possible. Coppola explores human nature and the darkness war can
instill on the human mind.
Honorable Mention: All Quiet On The Western Front (1930)

THE FIGHT CONTINUES in Call of Duty: Black OPS
New enhanced technology enables multiplayers to enjoy new missions in a whole new way
BY FAITH ORCINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The war rages on as "Call
of Duty: Black Ops" arrives in stores on Nov. 9.
Developer Treyarch and game
publisher Activision brings players back to the Cold War. This
new installment of the "Call
of Duty" game series is a sequel to "Call of Duty: World at
War.*' The game will be available for the PS3, Xbox 360,
Nintendo DS, Wii and PCs.
For the collectors within the
community, the limited Hardened
Edition includes the game in a
metallic case with four special
co-op maps, an exclusive Xbox
Live/PlayStation Network avatar and a medal in a display case.
For the die-hard fans, the limited
Prestige Edition package includes
the Hardened Edition set plus a
remote-controlled vehicle that
looks similar to the new RC-XD
killstreak with its remote. The
Prestige Edition is only available
for Xbox 360 and PS3 systems.
According to the game's official website (www.callofduty.
com/blackops),players have more
options to their gaming experience. Unlike the previous games,
"Black Ops" offers the choice
of changing the looks of the soldiers. It is one of the newest additions in multiplayer game-play.
Other additions include
Theater Mode, wager matches,
and new killstreaks. The re-,
turn of Treyarch also brings
the return of the zombie co-op
mode, where two players fight
an endless army of zombies.
"Call of Duty: World at War"
was the first to have this mode in
the game. In the single-player
campaign feature, gamers follow the path of a Black Ops
member. Players enter the Cold
War into secret missions and international conflicts. Whether it
is an online multiplayer match
or a new chapter of the campaign, "Call of Duty: Black
Ops" is a brand-new way to play.

on display. The posters read: Environmental, Medical, Political, Spiritual and Cultural, pertaining to the five main aspects
of Africa that need support. For instance,
below Political, the poster asked students
to pray for leaders to may make wise decisions about funding and providing support.
After about fifteen minutes, the impact
of these stories and images had the potential to shake students to their very core. As
some students walked out of the tent with
tears in their eyes, others could hardly put
into words what they experienced. Freshman John Loeh was placed into the life
of Beatrice. Loeh said, "It was pretty sad,
especially the part where she was diagnosed and had the option to choose to save
somebody or not."
After she heard the life of Olivia, freshman Shelley Lawrence walked out of the
tent with a large red positive stamp on her
hand. Lawrence said, "I feel that education is the best way to prevent this. People
shun each other because they don't know
enough, if people learn about HIV, then it
would help."
As students walked out, ICF took donations and gave students flyers informing
them of letters they could write to local
congressmen. ICF also directed students to
their website, ivsanmarcos.org, where students can learn more about how to make an
impact themselves.
Originally, ICF had only planned to display the tent for one week; , but campus
involvement with the tent went far beyond
what ICF had ever envisioned. Therefore,
The Africa Tent will remain on campus
until Thursday, October 12.
ICF member Jaci Spencer said, "The biggest thing I hope people could take away
is this: yes there's AIDS, yes there's rape,
yes there's poverty. These are all the issues
we've heard about but it doesn't hit home
imtil we see it as it is. I want people to know
that we can do something about this and
that God does care."

"Maskmaking at CSUSM has happened before. This is thefirsttime
that ELC has participated. I hope
that it is a recurring event because
the kids really enjoyed it," said
Bigonger. Broomball is played in
a similar fashion to hockey, except
that players do not wear skates, a
ball is used in place of a puck, and
players use a rubber-tipped broom
shaped stick.
The Sixth Annual Masquerade

Saturday. "The Masquerade Ball
is a huge tradition that most of
t CSUSM students look forward to
every year," says Mathews. "The

the House of Blues in downtown

and very appealing for our students. ASI had a total of 1,000
tickets for students and the tickets
were sold out on Tuesday, October 3. It was very exciting for ASI.
The Masquerade Ball wasfreefor
students and only $15 for guests.
There were free hors d'oeuvres
and drinks. A cash bar was available for students over 21," said
Mathews. Fever Week will not
happen for another year, so plan
ahead of time. Go Cougars!

Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock III: the final chapter
BY FRANCISCO MACIAS
Pride Staff Writer
All of those who feel the feud in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship between
Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock should
finally tap out, raise your hand. One
fighter is already in the UFC Hall of Fame
and the other will soon be there—once he
decides he is done punishing his opponents. Shamrock left the sport years ago
and should have stayed gone. But due to
his first embarrassing loss to the younger,
well rounded fighter at UFC 40 Vendetta,
he came back for another embarrassing
loss. At UFC 61: Bitter Rivals, Ken Shamrock thought he was ready to win. There
was also huge hype surrounding the fight.
As part of the marketing for the fight, the
reality television show "The Ultimate
Fighter" had two teams competing under
the instruction of Ken Shamrock arid Tito
Ortiz respectively.
At UFC 61 Ortiz rained vicious elbows
over the aging Shamrock and the referee Herb Dean stopped the fight at 1:18
in the first round. The fight was deemed
controversial because Shamrock claimed
that he was okay to continue fighting. It
looked like a young punk mugging an old
man in the alley. It was sad. That entire
fight card was a waste of time and money.
It gets better folks; we now have Ortiz/
Shamrock III: the Final Chapter. The
only thing exciting this time around is
that the fight will be free on Spike TV.
UFC President Dana White does not
feel that fans should have to pay to see
this ridiculous feud once again. I have to
admit, I'm a bit curious to see what Ortiz
will do this time. Will the Huntington
Beach bad boy do his typical ground and
pound? For those of you who don't know
what ground and pound is, it's when you
take your opponent down and begin to
unload punches and elbows to their face.
It's not pretty, and Tito Ortiz has mastered it. On the other hand, Shamrock is
not a chump; he was the man back when
the UFC first started. Shamrock used to
roll over anyone who stepped into the
octagon. However, this is 2006, and Tito
Ortiz is no taxi driver walking into the
octagon. For those of you who aren't busy
on Tuesday, October 10, tune into Spike
TV for this "epic" battle. I predict Ortiz
will circle Shamrock, tire the old man out
and give him the oF ground and pound.

Men's Cross Country, Mejia win at Vanguard Inv.; Women take 2nd
Men's C.C., Mejia win at Vanguard Inv.; Women
take 2nd
In what was a terrific day for the cross-country
program, the men's team won the Vanguard Cross
Country Invitational, and the women nearly matched
that feat, settling for second.
It was only a matter of time before the men won
an event, given the team's sparkling performances
thus far. That win came on Saturday, in a field that
consisted of six teams and 62 runners total. At the
very top of those runners was Cougar Juan Mejia,
who has been nothing short of amazing this season.
Before Sunday, Mejia had already finished second at
two events on the season. At this event, Mejia blew
away the field, beating the second-place runner by
a staggering 4S seconds. His potential at Nationals
is definitely something Cougar fans can start getting
excited about.
Not to be outdone, the Cougar women nearly made
it a clean sweep for the teams, finishing just two
points behind Point Loma Nazarene. The squad's
leaders, Whitney Patton and Bonghabih Shey, came
through as usual, finishing sixth and eighth, respectively. Shey, already a star on the track tearn, has
really stepped up her cross-country performance this
year, and helped the team reach the next level.
While the very top runners gave great performances for Coach Steve Scott, just about everyone
in Cougar blue ran very well. On the men's side,
Mejia crossed the finish line first, but Phil Hoffman
was not far behind, finishing third. Ozwaldo Alvarez stepped up his game, taking seventh overall. Leo
Elorza, Thomas Thys, and Mike Crouch all finished
in the top 20 as well.
On the women's side, nine Cougars finished in the
top 30 runners, though only the team's top five runners counted for team-scoring purposes. Aside from
Patton and Shey, Aimee Bradley had a strong meet,
finishing fifteenth. Erin Hearn, Olympia Olguin,
and Jackie Maciel were not far behind, taking seventeenth, nineteenth, and twenty-first, respectively.
Overall, it was an excellent outing for both teams,
and their chances to finish strong at Nationals are
looking very good. Coach Steve Scott will take his
crew to the Fullerton Invite on October 20 for its final
regular-season meet, and then it's off to Regionals
on November 4.
Below are the full CSUSM results. Individual
places are adjusted for team-scoring purposes,
which doesn't factor in those runners who weren't
attached to colleges.

box. It found Drummond's foot,
and she volleyed the shot into the
net to give the Cougars the 3-2
win.
Though Drummond accounted
for all the scoring, the entire
team played a very good game on
Sunday. Midfielder Tessa Smith
controlled the ball and was able
to set up opportunities for teammates, and Randi Leyva created
scoring chances throughout the
day. On the back line, Alex Quindt
played arguably her best game
of the season, and Lucia Asbury
continued to be very impressive
after making the transition from
forward to defense. Defender
Lica Martinez also played a very
strong game.
Overall it was a great effort for
the Cougars in front of fee home
crowd at Mangrum Field.
The women will try to keep the
momentum rolling on Tuesday,
when they travel to take on Claremont-McKenna College to kick
off a stretch of five consecutive
road games.
Defeating ClaremontMcKenna on Road\ 5-2
Women's Soccer Wins
Second Straight; Defeats Claremont-McKenna on Road, 5-2
October 3,2006
Though their season got off
to .a tough start, the Cal State
San Marcos women's soccer
team (3-6) appears to be turning the corner. On Tuesday,
the squad tallied a 5-2 victory
over Claremont-McKenna, its
second-straight win.
Tuesday's win marks the
first ever road victory for the
program, and it comes against
a Claremont-McKenna squad
that entered the game .with
a solid 5-3-1 record for ihe
season. Thus, the match also
marks the team's first victory
over a team with a winning
record.
CSUSM controlled the
action for most of the game.
At halftime, the Cougars led 10, courtesy of a Lucia Asbury
goal. Courtney Drummond,
who posted a hat trick in Sunday's game, drew a foul deep
in the opponent's territory, and
Kelly Wherry took the free
kick. She made the most of it,
hitting a perfect cross to the
other side of the box. The ball
found Asbury, and she volleyed
it into the top of the net past the
helpless keeper.
Early in the second half, the
Cougars built their lead to 20, with Kelly Wherry involved
again - but this time as the
goal scorer. The Cougars
earned a free kick 25 yards
out, and Wherry was chosen
again to take it. Instead of hitting a cross, Wherry struck
a beautiful shot, curling the
ball into the corner of the net
past the outstretched arms of
the keeper.
Claremont-McKenna fought
back to make the score 2-1,
but CSUSM refused to allow
them to equalize, half-way
through the second half, the
Cougars once again earned a
free kick in the offensive zone.
Lucia Asbury took it this time, but
found Kelly Wherry in the box.
Though she didn't hit the header
she intended, Wherry managed to
deflect the ball into the net for her
second goal of the game.
Not long after, the Cougars
pushed the score to 4-1. Defender
Alex Quindt hit a ball over the top
of the defense, connecting with
forward Clarissa Hidalgo. Hidalgo
struck a nice right-footed shot into
the low corner of the net to give
the Cougars a three-goal lead.
After
Claremont-McKenna
scored on a free kick of their own,
the Cougars once again answered,
removing any doubt about what
the outcome of the game would
be. Clarissa Hidalgo was responsible again, joining Kelly Wherry
as two-goal scorers for the game.
After receiving a routine pass
from Tessa Smith, Hidalgo stood
a-full 35 yards awayfromthe goal,
where she launched a rainbow shot
towards the net. The shot caught
everyone off-guard, including the
opposing keeper, who couldn't
prevent it from sailing over her
head and into the net.
The 5-2 score would hold up,
giving the Cougars another muchneeded victory.
In what was by far their most
impressive showing on offense all
year, the Cougars nearly matched
their cumulative season total for
goals scored, which stood at six
before Tuesday's game. Still,
Assistant Coach Bobby Renneisen
was quick to praise the team's back
line. Fullbacks Lucia Asbury,
Annica Perez, Alex Quindt, and
Lica Martinez played a terrific
game, limiting Claremont-McKenna's opportunities and never
allowing them to cut deeply into
the Cougars' lead.
With the squad playing its best
soccer yet, they hope to keep the
momentum rolling through four
more consecutive road games.
Next, the squad will head up to
Santa Cruz to take on U.C. Santa
Cruz on October 7, then Menlo
College the following day.

Last weekend, following the brilliant
advice from my girlfriend, we ditched
all responsibility, packed our bags and
departed north at 4:00 a.m. to spend
what would turn out to be one of the
most unforgettable weekends of our
lives surrounded by one of Nature's
most incredible landscapes.
Yosemite: one of the few places
on Earth that defies explanation. To
describe it in words is to insult it. Even
with the accompanying photos, the sheer
magnitude and splendor of the place is
lost. If you haven't been, go. If you
have only been once, go again. If you
are one of the lucky few to have visited
multiple times, let this story encourage
you to go again.
To some, an eight hour drive (one
way), 150 dollars in gas (less than three
dollars a gallon!!), and 20 to 400 dol-
lars a night for lodging, all for 36 hours
of distraction may sound ludicrous. To
others, it is just the cure for a life filled
with monotony.
Whether you're smitten and in love or
single and unattached, a trip to Yosemite—even for as little as two days—can
be one of the most memorable journeys
of your life.
So, if it's renting a beach cruiser and
gliding along the valley floor surrounded
by towering granite mountains, hiking
up the back of Half Dome to see one of
the world's most breathtaking views, or
getting attacked by fearless raccoons
as you eat your overpriced pizza and
indulge in a well-deserved drink after
a long day in paradise—your tinje spent
in Yosemite will be short lived and long
remembered.
To all you fellow Cougars: take this
writer's advice and spend at least a
weekend escaping in Yosemite, you
won't regret it.

AIDS : COMPASSION
IN A FRICA
"The AIDS Crisis: Can you
survive the journey of a child?" Intervarsity Christian Fellowship
As dusk arrives and the orange
sun disappears behind the cloudy
sky, I walk through Palm Court on
my way to begin my AIDS experience. Unsure of what to expect,
and fairly confident that the contents of the tent will have a significant impact on me, I've brought
my younger sister along with me
to share the experience.
Friendly and encouraging students from Intervarsity Christian Fellowship gather near the
entrance of the tent waiting to
greet us. We are handed headphones attached to a small media
player, and a lantern to lead us
through the night-filled tent.
"Wait in front of the curtain" we
are told. My sister goes in first.
She steps behind the fabric wall
and quickly vanishes into the caverns of the tent, only her silhouette and the diluted lantern light
can still be seen. I step in front of
the beaded curtain and turn on my
headphones. Sounds of a bustling
street, voices, and animals—all
sounds of Africa surround me,
call to me. I am instructed to go
into the next room. It is empty. I
sit down and I can still hear the
noises of Africa dancing around
me, I think I can even sense the
various smells of Africa wade
through the room. A voice comes
on. It is a man. His name is Jalima,
he will guide my journey tonight,
he tells me.
Walking into the next room I
find myself in front of three curtained doorways. There is a name
on each doorway, as there is a
name printed on my media player:
Beatrice. The voice of Beatrice
starts to speak. I cross through
Beatrice's entrance and without
realizing it, I am transported into
an entirely new world, taking on
the mindset of Beatrice.
Immediately I am introduced
to Beatrice's life. She is seven
and lives with her older, pregnant
sister. Both of her parents died
when she was younger. A series of
pictures are in front of me, giving
a face to Beatrice's name and her
fragile voice. Images of poverty
and disease, sorrow and despair,
line the makeshift walls. I proceed through the maze of Beatrice's life and stop before 3 map.
"You live in Zambia," Jalima tells
me. I read the map and learn that
Zambia has a population just over
11 million people. 1.2 million of
those inhabitants are orphaned
children, and 1.7 million of the
entire population is HIV+ or has
AIDS. As Ifinishreading statistics
about Zambia, I slowly move into
the next room. I am now standing
in Beatrice's home, a small, oneroom hut. Dirty dishes, ragged
clothes and dirt-tattered blankets
are strewn about on the ground. I
turn around and I can see a picture of her sister. "You're excited
because your sister is going to
have her baby today," Jalima tells
me. Before me is a poster with pictures of teen mothers, primitive
tools and abandoned babies. In
red letters are the words "Maternal mortality." All of the sudden
there are screams and wails playing into my ears. There is a constant cry of an infant, but the background cries are different. "Something is wrong," Jalima says. I
stop and find myself searching the
images and the imaginary scene
in my head for an answer, "Your
sister has just died in child birth,"
he answers. "No! She can't!" I
silently yell to myself.
The sound of a crying baby carries me into the next room. "Your
sister had a baby girl. They have
named her Myriam," he states.
"But no one is claiming her. Your
grandmother says she cannot
afford to feed another mouth, and
Clockwise starting with middle picture on left-hand side:

your other relatives are beginning
to back away from the infant,"
explains Jalima, a tinge of sadness weighing behind his voice.
"You stand there in silence " he
tells Beatrice, just as I stand there
listening in silence, "looking at
the tiny baby nobody wants."
What would you do if you were
Beatrice? You stand there, the
silence continuing to grow, until
something inside of you aches,
and you say, "I'll take her." How
different would your life be? Only
seven years old, orphaned, now
with a baby? You have no mother,
no father, no sister, no one at all
except this tiny new life you have
in your arms. No one wanted baby
Myriam, and now this baby needs
you more than you've ever needed
anything.
"The days go by and Myriam
will not stop crying," Jalima continues. "You have no food to give
her and no way of getting food.
Each day gets harder and harder
watching the other children in the
village run and play and attend
school. They used to be your
friends, and that used to be you.
You rummage through the streets,
scavenging for food and water for
you and little Myriam. You try to
go and work and do small things
to earn wages but Myriam doesn't
like to be away from you. She
doesn't like to be left alone, and
she cries incessantly when you
don't hold her."
"Somehow, you and Myriam
manage to survive for two years,
you cannot believe it," he says.
"But Myriam is so undernourished that she cannot sit up on her
own even though she is two years
old, and now her fingers, toes,
and eyes have become infested
with fleas and open sores. You
do your best to wash her sores as
often as you can, but you have no
clean water and wiping her eyes
only makes her cry more, and the
pus infecting her eyes just comes
right back after you wipe them.
Poor Myriam; you're not sure
how much longer she will be able
to survive, and the last two years
have taken a toll on your body as
well. Weak from starvation and
taking care of Myriam, you have

you meet a new woman. You can
see in her eyes that she is nice, and
she offers to take care of you and

The health clinic is a small room

Lanterns in one hand, and holding
each other's hand with the other,
we stop in front of a prayer wall.
There are hundreds of prayers:
prayers for healing, prayers for
grace and understanding, prayers
for forgiveness and love—and for
a cure. A tear falls off my cheek
as I set my lantern down to write a
prayer. Pinning it to the wall, I am
overcome with many questions,
like why does there have to be so
much suffering in the world? So
much pain? Why is a whole continent dying from this horrible
four-letter disease: AIDS? Just
why? More importantly I was
left asking what can we do about
it? How can we stop it? And how
can we help?
Through my whole journey
that night in the tent I felt compassion for Beatrice, and tried to
contemplate what her life must
have been like. How would I
have kept faith in the face of such
disparity? How did she keep her
-faith? I guess all I can come up
with for the millions of people
affected by HIV and AIDS, for
the millions of people dying
today in Africa, the millions who
have already died, and for the
millions of people who feel compelled to do something about it,
is that there is hope.
The Africa Tent is just one way

Letter to the editor: Where's the remberance for 9/11
September 11, 2001 was a tragedy that
affected the whole world. It changed life
as we know it. O ut innocence was lost as
we watched planes barrel into the World
Trade Center buildings, as well as the
Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. We
watched with horror as thousands of innocent civilians found themselves in a situation that was far beyond our imaginations.
People who felt they had no other option
jumped to their deaths from 80 stories
high. Heroes ran into the buildings without thought to save as many people as they
could. The best in human character was
brought out as well as the worst.
In our local community, schools and
businesses closed. Friends and families
gathered together. We tried to find ways
to handle the rush of emotions we were
all feeling. Many of us begged, hoped, and
prayo^for people to be pulled out alive
from the rubble. Sadly, more were found
dead than alive. Five years later, we as
Americans should not allow ourselves to
forget the catastrophe that occurred that
shook us all to the core.
As an active student on this campus, I
am appalled that this sacred day was not
remembered by our college campus or its
leaders. I have been a member of Alpha
Chi Omega for the last three years, and
have been aware of ASI and other campus
events throughout this time through other
involved peers. I am now a graduate student finishing my teaching credential. My
cohorts sat in class all Monday and they
looked to me to find out if anything special had been planned for this day. Sadly, I
had nothing to report on. A special edition
of The Pride was not ¡published, a time of
remembrance was not observed, and our
precious University Hour was not utilized to bring our community of learners
together and honor those that perished on
September 11th.
I picked up a copy of The Pride on Tuesday to see if anything had been written
and I find at the very bottom of the front
page a small rectangle stating: "We Will
Remember 9-11-01." Then I turned all the
pages and found the largest, article about
alcohol and Mexican food without any
other mention of September 11. How is it
that margaritas and burritos deserve more
words in our paper than those names of
lives that paid the ultimate price?
One semester a student organization put
crosses in the grass to the east of Kellogg
Library. Each cross represented soldiers
that had passed away in the war following 9/11.1 assume that this was a form of
protest against the war. However, nothing
was done in remembrance of the 2,749
innocent victims that died five years ago! I hope that in six, ten, and even twentyfive years down the road, this University
will remind the future youth of this world
about the tragedy that happened. Youth
need to be taught that we cannot allow
something like this to happen again. This
college claims in its own mission statement
that it "exposes us to issues and traditions
of the United States and other countries."
The tradition of American patriotism and
how this attack affected other countries as
well as our own was completely ignored
on 9/11/2006. "To be responsible men and
women we must examine the moral and
ethical issues^' (University Mission Statement) that led up to that day, and helped
us survive the loss of human life. "This
history is affecting our present and will
continue to have a lasting affect on our
future. We need to understand the human
behavior, culture, values, and institutions" (University Mission Statement) that
allowed fellow human beings to commit
such horror.
I am writing this to vent, but I also want
answers. Why did the President of this
University not arrange a campus-wide
moment of silence? Why did The Pride
not publish a list of names of those that
were killed? Why did ASI not organize, a
remembrance activity during University
Hour? Why did the college staff not unite
and allow individual classes tofindappropriate ways of honoring this day? Why was
our American Flag not even lowered to
half-mast? Why was this day completely
ignored by our California State University? I, as well as cohort 77 and Alpha Chi
Omega, and the rest of the student body of
this university deserve an honest answer
to describe such senselessness.
In regards to the daily position of the
American Flag, Section 7.e of the United
States Flag code states that:
"The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of
flags of States or localities or pennants of
societies are grouped and displayed from
staffs" (emphasis added).
Unless we have misread this code, the
flag's positioning should be altered permanently and immediately to be in compliance with federal law.
Completely Disappointed,

Letter to the editor: ASI's Alumni masquerade refusal
My name is Raul Montero, I am an alum
from Gal State University San Marcos I
am writing to you because I am very disturbed and upset regarding how Alumni
are being treated by ASI.
I have been going to Masquerade Ball
for four years now, one year as an alum.
To me this is tradition, and [the] Masquerade Ball is like Homecoming for CSUSM.
I have been trying to get to the ASI office
before it closes at 5 p.m. a few different
times, [but]for a working professional it
can be very difficult to get there by that
particular time. Each time I was only late
by two tofiveminutes and ASI was closed
with nobody inside. I decided to call the
ASI office to see if there was someway to
arrange one single ticket for myself to the
Masquerade Ball. When I did call, a message was relayed to me by the receptionist
at ASI. The message was that Alumni are
not allowed to purchase or obtain tickets
for the Masquerade Ball.
First of all, I have been to Masquerade
Ball before as an alum and did not have
trouble getting a ticket. So is this a new
rule or is [ASI] just flat out lying to me?
Second, is this how the school treats
its own Alumni? By telling alumni that
they are no longer allowed at CSUSM
functions since they aren't a student anymore?
I am sorry, but this is an outrage. I have
never felt like I have been treated with
such disrespect before in my life. If anything, Alumni should be at the top of the
list, seeing that it is difficult for them to
obtain tickets to the dance because most
alumni are working professionals. Is this
what we are telling prospective students?
Sure, attend our school, but once you are
Alumni you are no longer welcome?
I honestly feel like the school has spit in
my face; and at the same time the school
is asking me for monetary contributions
to CSUSM. I really hope The Pride feels
my concern and shares it with the entire
student body, because it seems to be the
only organization on campus that isn't
spitting in the face of the Alumni.

Here at The Pride we like to be as
accommodating as we possibly can to the

our attention that for some of you, drinking
just isn't your thing. That is totally fine by
us, so instead of doing our usual thing and
telling you about our new favorite alcoholbased mixed drink, we've decided to shake
things up a bit and venture into uncharted
territory for this, edition of Drink of the

taking a week off from the bars to detox,
or just enjoy reading what the drink of the
week is, then read on my friends, read on!

lattes, Frappuccinos and crème drinks,
there are also new maple syrup flavored
drinks available. This week's latest discovery is the new Maple Macchiato. And
when I say "new," I'm mean it is just within
the past week that this syrupy delight has
invaded the decorative chalkboards hanging on the walls of Starbucks Coffee Company Stores nationwide.
What is in a Maple Macchiato, you ask?
Well, if you've ever had a Caramel Macchiato, it's pretty similar; just subtract the caramel and add maple syrup and you're set. For
a 16 ounce Maple Macchiato (also known
as a Grande), your local barista would start
with three pumps of maple syrup, then add
steamed milk, two shots of espresso, a scoop
of foam, and maple drizzle, and viola! Your
very own Maple Macchiato.
I will warn you though—the Maple Macchiato isn't for amateurs. It's kind of like
drinking pancakes, and it's really just like
drinking maple syrup. Personally, I wasn't
too crazy about it; I think I'll stick with my
Caramel Macchiato, thank you very much.
But if you've ever gone to Denny's and
wished you could combine your Pancake
Slam breakfast with a hot cup of coffee,
this drink is a match made in heaven for
your taste buds. A little bit of the Maple
Macchiato goes a long way, so as with
many things in life, the general rule "less
is more" is definitely appropriate to apply
to Starbucks' Maple Macchiato. Enjoy!
Beer of the Week
Samuel Adams Octoberfest
BY DAVID BAUER
Pride Staff Writer
For almost two hundred years, the
Bavarian holiday of Oktoberfest has
been celebrated in countries around
the world. Originally created to commemorate the marriage of Crown Prince
Ludwig I to Princess Therese SaxeHildburghausen in 1810, Oktoberfest
is celebrated with drinking specially
brewed beers and traditional dishes in
large public tents.
This week marks the end of Oktoberfest; the festivities typically last 15
days until the first Sunday in October.
That not withstanding, in a continuation of our Oktoberfest celebrations, we
will look at another domestic Oktoberfest brew—Samuel Adams Octoberfest
brew.
While it may be on par with German
Oktoberfest brews such as Paulaner or
Spaten Oktoberfest-Biers, of the American Oktoberfest beers, Samuel Adams is
perhaps one of the best. It hasa beautiful, dark reddish amber, almost pumpkin color to it. It pours with a full fizzy
head that lasts for several minutes. The
beer's smell is complex, malty and
sweet; mixing a caramelflavorwith a bit
of spice.
In the tradition of Oktoberfest beers,
it is darker, stronger and spicier than its
year-round counterparts. Samuel Adams
Octoberfest is 5.4% alcohol content by
volume versus the 4.9% of the typical
Boston Lager, and it's slightly darker in
color. The beer has four malts: Crystal,
Harrington, Moravian and Munich, all
of which can clearly be tasted over the
hop's profile. It has a rich mouthfeel and
a dry but pleasant aftertaste.
Samuel Adams Octoberfest is a good
session beer, or it can be easily paired
with a variety of heartier dishes. It is
available from August through October,
as a draft and in 12 ounce bottles in six
and twelve packs.
When the Oktober- é ÊÊPÊtb
fest season comes to a
close it is always a sad- ^ ^ K f l
dening time, but this
year, it is especially
poignant time. Last
week a raging fire in
Yakima, Washington destroyed 4% of
the United States'
beer brewing hops.
While the beer
industry
Will
survive, it is an
u n f o r t u n a t e .*§
event which ^
robbed
the S
beer drinkers °
of this country of so many ©
delicious hops. &
In respect to s
both thé end of
the season and
this
terrible
loss, it's only
appropriate to
raise a glass of
Samuel Adams
Octoberfest.

Jonny Lang: Turn Around
BY AMANDA ÄNDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Looking for an escape? Some
kind of saving grace to transport
you to an alternate frame of mind
or sense of being? Well, look
no further. Jonny Lang's "Turn
Around" is about to alleviate your
bout of existential turmoil. With a
soulful album of fiery blues, traditional twang, Southern gospel
rock and total guitar domina-
tion, don't be afraid to give good
'ol Jonny his dues when you pop
"Turn Around" into your Discman for a listen or two. "Jonny
Lang?!" you're thinking—yes,
Jonny Lang. As he proclaims on
"Anything's Possible," "don't be
deceived, anything is possible."
This latest album separates him
from his yesteryears, helping him
break free from what most of us
remember him as: a kid pop-star
that broke into the scene around
the time of Hanson and the cult
followings of boy bands.
Keeping that in mind, Jonny's
"Turn Around" has inadvertently
become the soundtrack for my
2006 whirlwind fall semester at
CSUSM. The 15 tracks act as a
wardrobe of emotions and memories, each song suiting a different
disposition. If it's a pick-me-up
or whim of inspiration you need,
then "Turn Around" has your
name written all over it. Can't
stop thinking about that special someone? Then "My Love
Remains" is the song your heart
is singing.
Ever feel like there is something more out there for you and
you just haven't been able to put
your finger on it yet? "Only a
Man" has the validation you're
looking for and will sting you
with its comfort and truth. The
beautiful duet and falsettos created by Jonny himself remind me
of a rootsy gospel country hymn,
leading me down an imaginative
path of self-discovery.
Immediately following is the
upbeat "Don't Stop (For Anything)" that will get you moving
and your soulful rock attitude
back in check. I guarantee you'll
find yourself rocking out to this
one, nodding your head and
WORKING FOR CALIFORNIA
CSU students and the faculty at our 23 universities need and deserve a learning
environment that is conducive to providing quality education. That is why the CSU is
disappointed that the California Faculty Association bargaining team did not allow its
members to evaluate the most recent proposal put on the table by the CSU, which includes:
•
•
A 24.87 percent salary increase over four years, beginning in 2006/07, contingent
upon funding of the Compact with the Governor and an additional 1 percent
augmentation for compensation
Continuation of the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), reducing the
number of years from five to four
•
Incentive and equity pay program for full professors and tenure-track professors
•
No changes to ¿acuity eligibility tor PERS retirement
•
Above standard health and dental benefits totaling $ 120 million per year in
contributions by the CSU. This includes $12 million in contributions CSU will pay
for health costs for faculty during 2007-08.
•
Gradual ly increased parking fees for faculty so at the end of four years they pay the
same parking fees as students
and Michael Buble all have nothing on Jonny Lang.
Even if you're still on the fence
regarding the strikingly talented
Mr. Lang, take my advice and
give "Turn Around" a chance. It's
time to break free from your listening habits; give that worn out
Jack Johnson album a rest and
mix things up. What's the worst
that could happen?

�The Pride
covers the
San Diego
Film Festival
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Jason Priestly and his wife
Naomi walked the red carpet
at the Pacific Gaslamp 15 Theater, one of the key venues at
the San Diego Film Festival.
Eager filmgoers gathered outside the theater, waiting to see
the Vancouver-born actor's new
film, "Hot Tamale," in which
he plays Jude, a jewel thief
on the run. Before he was
ushered to his seat, I was
able to have a word with
Priestly, who had this to
say to the aspiring actors
at CSUSM:
"I always feel like
the
most
impor-
The Pride's interview with
J ason Priestly
tant advice to give young
actors is to study [and]
to stay in school. The
one thing that has reaped
more rewards for me as a
performer is the fact that I
took the time to go to theater school and study my
craft. The exceptions to the
rule are very few and far
between, the exceptions
being people who got off
a bus in Hollywood and
were discovered at the
counter in Schwab's drug
store. But, the reality is that
doesn't happen.
The most important
thing you can do arid the
most important respect
that you can pay your
craft as a thespian
is to study and to
understand what
it is that you're
doing.
Once
you have that
k nowledge,
you always
have that
knowledge
to , fall
b ack
o n.
The Pride's A&E editor interviews Jason Priestly at the Pacific 15 Theater.
There are always times in every
actor's career where you sort of
find yourself floundering, and
you can get lost within the material and not know what to do. But
if you have studied, and if you
have the knowledge to fall back
on, you can figure it out and the
path will become clear."
As for his own acting education, Jason Priestly studied under
Howard Fine and June Whitaker.
Starting out as a child actor in TV
commercials, Jason Priestly has
been involved in at least 36 film
and TV projects, including a roc-

kumentary he directed featuring
The Barenaked Ladies, the popular 90s prime-time soap "Beverly

�The Pride covers the San Diego Film Festival
Flying Canter brothers swoop up award
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
The House of Blues, host of the San Diego
Film Festival Actor's Ball and Awards Ceremony, was packed with VTPs after the
weekend long celebration commenced.
An unpredictable combination of canapés,
cocktails, and RedBull fueled the enthusiasm of those in attendance. Amongst them
were Markus and Mason Canter, otherwise
known as The Flying Canter Brothers. The
Pride managed to catch up with the highflying directing duo to ask them a few questions.
The Pride: Do you have any advice for
Cal State San Marcos future filmmakers?
Markus: First and foremost, getting to
the San Diego Film Festival—it's all about
making movies, one movie at a time. You
tell a great story. Definitely tell a great
story.
Mason: Tell something that you know
Image courtesy of FCB
about, something that you have been emotionally connected to for a while; and be
passionate about it. Don't pick something
just because you think it's what everybody
wants. Pick something that's individual to
you. And, if you tell that story, if you get
it out to people in a way that connects to
them, then your audiences are going to
feel it. And it's all about emotions. The
movie business is about putting a bunch
of moments together that creates an entire
feeling [and] tells a story. Our whole thing,
what do we say? (He turns to Markus) We
always say do stuff that you're passionate
about. Get off the couch.
Markus: Making a movie, you're going
to invest anywhere from a weekend to a
few years into making afilm,depending on
what you're doing. And if you're
going to do that, you want
to focus on something that
everyday you're going to
be passionate about and
inspired to keep doing,
because after about a month or a year of
making a movie - you've spent your money
on it, and you've put your time and your
heart into it - if you haven't chosen something you really believe in, at the end of the
day you're really not going to make a great
movie.
Mason: Another thing I would love to
add is that right now we are so fortunate,
because [the] technology that we have
today, with cameras like the DVX100A
or the new HD, the 200, you can, anybody
can, go out there and be afilmmaker.And
you can make professional quality stuff.
So, it gives you the opportunity to experiment. It's not like back in the day where
16mm was really expensive and you had
to rent the camera. Get your hands on any
camera you can and experiment until you
find your voice and youfindsomething that
works for you.
Markus: I'll also say that both of us went
tofilmschool, so, and this is to whether you
went to film school or not, but ultimately
what I have seen in the mentors I have
had in my life or just the people that have
been masters in this craft [is that] it's a lifetime thing. You get better every time you
do this. Every time you pick up [a] camera
you get better. Every time you tell a story or
write something, you get better at it. So [if]
somebody starts out and they have a passion for it [and] their first movie [doesn't]
quite work out, do it again, because you
will get better each time you do it.
Mason: If you are lucky enough that there
is somebody around that you admire that is
already makingfilms,try to learn as much
as you can from them. If there's not, then
pick who your favorite filmmaker is and
leafn everything about them. Whether it's
Coppola, Spielberg, or Scorsese, whoever
it is that you love, know as much as you can
about how they made their movies and how
they got to where they are, so that you can
learnfromtheir knowledge.
The Pride: Do you have a favorite filmmaker?
Mason: We have a couple.
Markus: Being the fact that we're the
Flying Canter Brothers, obviously we love
the Coen brothers. The Coen brothers are
one of our all-time favorites. Scorsese is
[also] definitely a favorite.
Mason: Usually I always say Kubrick.
Marcus was always really into Kubrick. All
my papers in college were about Kubrick
because
visually he's amazing.
Markus:
The
way he V H B frames every image
I love it. g ^ V But there are so many
great and I B B amazing filmmakers.
It's more • •
like what movies—I
love this ^ ffik movie from this
filmmaker. I B B ^ love that one from
another
one. And we like
a l l ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ genres. We're
not
partial
to any one
genre.

Directors of the film Mason (left) and Markus (right) Canter.
We just like telling different stories in different ways, keeping it fresh.
The Pride: What made you decide to
make "Chasing the Horizon"?
Mason: We had written a movie called
"Bobby Zero" that we're getting geared up
to make, but we did a deal with Effie Brown
[Producer Effie Brown, head of Duly Noted
Inc.] who produced "Real Women Have
Curves;" She won the Independent Spirit
Award for that. And when we did our
deal with her, we knew that we had a bit
of time between the movie she was working on and when we were going to be able
to make ["Bobby Zero"]. The great thing
about "Chasing the Horizon" is that it's a
documentary and in documentaries no one
has to give you a green light but you, You
can put together a small crew of people, get
your friends together, people that you trust
that are talented, and go out there [and] find
something you want to tell a story about.
For us, it just happened to be that we're race
fans and this movie's backdrop is the Baja
1000 which is one of the most famous races
in the world. [It's] dangerous and grueling,
and people try their entire life just to try to
win [it]. They will do it year after year, after
year, after year. Luckily enough, we met
Jeff Lloyd who owns the team, and it was
his first year [in the BajalOOO]. We wanted
to tell a story that was about a guy who was
starting out from scratch, a rookie, someone who
Markus: (Breaks in.) This is the underdog
story. "Chasing the Horizon" is the ultimate
underdog story. It's a feature documentary
about a misfit, dysfunctional, rookie offroad racing team. [It follows} one
man's quest and dream of win-,
ning and
finishing this race. Filmmaking is about
humanity. It's about human beings. We
had never made a documentary and doing
a documentary is the ultimate truth. Our
bias becomes imprinted on it. But, we went
out to make this [documentary] as close to
exactly what happened as possible and ultimately that's what we did. We learned so
much as directors doing it. You're watching real, live performances in front of your
eyes, and you really get to learn what it feels
like. So, I think infilmschool, if I was starting infilmschool today and I was having a
class, I would have people go out and make
documentaries first so [they] can see what
reality looks like on film. Now that we're
going to go make "Bobby Zero," I can feel
reality better than ever, so when I see a performance and someone is performing and it
feels like a performance...
Mason: (Breaks in.) Our movie never has
a moment that feels forced. And I say that
really confidently because we spent a lot
of time to make sure that everything that
was in it was exactly how it went down. We
never asked the guys in it, like some reality
TV producers [do], "Hey, can you say that
line," or, "We need you to fight with that
guy." The reason people connect to [our
film] is because it's real.
And people did connect to "Chasing the
Horizon." Thefilmwon Best Documentary
later that evening. Expressing both their
happiness and their surprise, the Canter
brothers were defiantly flying high that
night.

experiences of those effected
by the current conflict
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
Phi Alpha Theta and the History Club offered
perspectives about the war from troops who
served in Iraq, on Wednesday, March 9 with an
event entitled "Boots on the Ground."
Featuring soldiers who have served in the current conflict in Iraq as guest speakers, the forum
was held in Academic Hall 102. This was the
second of a series of talks on the Iraq issue that
have been recently presented at CSUSM.
After a brief introduction from Chris Mitchell, President of the History Club, the floor was
turned over to Staff Sergeant Chris Kiefer, who
was thefirstspeaker to present his story.
Backed by power point presentations showing pictures and footage from Iraq, perspectives
given at the forum came from ground forces, air
and supply support forces, and even the view of
those left behind at home. The range of views
included those of different military service
branches and gender, with the panel evenly split
with two male and two female speakers.
The majority of the forum offered personal
stories of war and what life was like for soldiers
in various theatresfightingover in Iraq. In specific details, the event managed to bring the conflict in Iraq down to a very human level detached
from political views and heated debate as the
speakers stood one by one and told their stories.
Aside from the human aspects of the war and
the intricacies of military life and sense of duty
that the speakers talked about, the forum also
revealed a basic uniform sentiment among those
in military service.

assorted booths.
There were all kinds of freebies handed out; gun locks from the

The free items were a great draw
and got people to learn about some of
the wellness-related services that the
organizations present at the fair provide.

this move is
not realistic given the
competitive
g uidelines
for admittance into this league
of prominent college level athletics.
The San Diego Union-Tribune recently profiled Cal State
San Marcos President, Karen
S. Haynesfirstyear. The article
from March 13, 2005 stated,
"When respondents (students)
clamored for more campus life,
she appointed the university's
first athletic director and asked
him to create more sports
teams."
This cooperation between
the Administration and the
Athletic Department outlines
their desire for sports teams at
Cal State San Marcos.
The decision to go forward
with sports teams brings many
questions to the minds of students. The ultimate decision
is left up to the student voters
of Cal State San Marcos who
will decide if the Athletics Fee
Referendum is something they
want to support.
CSUSM does not qualify for
membership the National Collegiate Athletics Association
(NCAA) and participates in the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
The NCAA has three Divisions with San Diego State
at the top. NAIA is one level
above community college
leagues.
Cal State San Marcos participates in NAIA Region II
with the Independents. The
competition includes Alliant
International University and
Patten College in California
as well as Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Grand

TROOPS, from page 1
The dominant message
expressed among panelists was
one of armed services accomplishment in Iraq.
"From my experience they
want us there and are very grateful," said Sgt. Kiefer speaking about his dealings with the
majority of the Iraqi populace.
Perhaps the most unique and
rarely heard perspective given
at the forum was that of Morgan
Copeland McCorkle whose
husband is currently serving in
Iraq. The life of an army wife,
McCorkle noted, was to not
only support the troops but also
to support their families and
spouses at home, both physically and emotionally. So far
McCorkle's husband has been
away on military duty for over
two years of their seven year
relationship.
there to promote their trails
system and organized hikes.
Non-profit groups such as the
American Cancer Society, Lupus
Foundation, Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention, American Liver
Foundation, Risk Management,
and Student Health Services were
also on hand educating students
about the services that they offer.
Other activities included a
stress relief room with punching
bags, a relaxation room and a tent
building contest sponsored by
Associated Students Inc. (ASI).
Throughout the event raffle
prizes donated by the various
participants were handed out to
the lucky winners.
Devon Romero, Fitness Coordinator and an organizer of the
event said she felt the Wellness
Fair and Expo went "fabulous."
"It was nice to see a lot of students come down, intermingle
and learn from vendors," said
After the forum ended the
floor was briefly turned over to
the audience to ask questions.
Although there was an obvious difference in political viewpoints present in the room,

questions were respectful, with
perhaps the most heated question being if any of the panelists
had seen the film "Fahrenheit
911."
Romero.
According to Romero approximately 600 students, faculty
and staff attended the four hour
event.
Romero said that, "more
people came out and there were
more donations and vendors,"
this year. Romero largely attributed the increase in involvement
to the fact that this year wellness
activities are during the entire
month of March, while last year
there was only the Wellness Fair
and Expo event.
After the Wellness Fair and
Expo there was a massage room
set up from 2:15 to 5 p.m. in the
Field House where free massages
were given. The Academy of
Professional Careers: School of
Massages donated 4 massage
chairs and 6 massage therapists
for the event.
"Wellness isn't just about physical health; it's about emotional,
spiritual, intellectual, occupa-
"I was pleasantly surprised
how well-mannered the audience was," said Mitchell, who
moderated the question session.
A round of applause followed the end of the forum as a
number of students lined up to
shake hands with the speakers.
McCorkle said she felt the
forum was well attended given
the fact that it was slated during
the same time as the sex toy
workshop in Clarke Fieldhouse.
"I'm very proud of it (the
event and attendance)," said
McCorkle, who is also the
President of Phi Alpha Theta.
McCorkle said she was thankful for those military personnel
who joined her in the forum,
noting that she was "glad that
we can continue to put on these
events and students and faculty
are interested."

the NAIA competitions.
The NCAA has strict guidelines for qualifying for Division
L
"An average of 15,000 fans
(that) show up to every game," is
one of the guidelines for NCAA
Division I said Kent Barrett,
Associate Director for Public
and Media Relations NCAA.
The lowest level of the NCAA
is Division III which offers no
scholarships. The long term
benefits ofjoining NCAA would
include scholarships and money
earned if Cal State San Marcos
does well in sports competitions.
Stephen Nichols, athletic
director, claims on the athletic department's web site that
sports team will "bring greater
recognition to, and awareness
of, our university. This will, in
turn, make your degree more
valuable."
There are two dominant student views towards the proposed measure. One view holds
that, the school should focus on
the academic future of Cal State
San Marcos and leave sports to
San Diego State.
The other view is the school
could use sports teams to
improve student life on campus.
Next week students will vote
on the proposed fee that will set
aside money specifically for the
Athletic Department. This decision will decide the fate of intercollegiate sports at Cal State
San Marcos.
According to a letter to The
Pride, Nichols will not petition
for money from the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA)
next semester regardless if the
proposed fee is passed or not.
This means intercollegiate
sports will end its funding from
Cal State San Marcos if students
vote against the fee increase, and
the 80 students that participate
in the non-spectator sports may
have to deal with the reality of
the end of intercollegiate sports
at Cal State San Marcos.
The Athletic Department
¡mum
now receives funding from the
IRA that ranges from $12,000
to $31,450 per semester. The
IRA is funded by students every
semester with a $5 fee and
divided up to different organizations on campus. Cal State
San Marcos does not allow any
organization on campus to take
more than one third of the entire
amount.
At other CSU schools, like
San Diego State, the Athletic
Department gets almost the
entire sum of money. With their
$28 IRA fee versus the Cal State
San Marcos $5 fee, San Diego
State has more money to divide
up with fewer organizations
requesting it.
The CSUSM Athletic Department also receives money from
the CSU General Fund in the
amount of $200,000 a semester. This money will continue to
be paid on top of the $296,000
expected if the fee proposal
passes.

campus police officers, administrators, and student volunteers
will partake in thefirstpart of a
two part DUI prevention program
by distributing literature to those

Women's Studies host sex toy workshop in hopes of helping students to become more comfortable with their sexuality
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Cyber bullets, cock rings and anal beads
were just a few items on display at the
annual Sex Toys Workshop, sponsored by
the Women's Studies organization at the
Clark Field House Wednesday, March 9.
Jamah Dacus, director of For Your Pleasure, Inc, presented a wide range of erotic
lotions, potions and battery operated toys
to over 160 students.
Dacus said the keys to sexual satisfaction are sexual acceptance, effective communication and practicing safer sex.
Dacus stressed, "Safer sex is not just
about using condoms, but taking responsibility for our bodies and our partners'—
this means getting tested for STD's and
HIV/AIDS every year."
A climax of giggles erupted when
Dacus challenged the audience to "reclaim
our asses from our buttphobic culture."
Adding, "Anal sex - it's no longer a nasty
or gay male activity."
Dacus introduced the audience to the
"prostrate massage" (the prostrate being
located two inches inside the male anal
cavity - toward the belly button, also
doubles as a g-spot). Apparently, when
massaged during foreplay can produce the
equivalent of a woman's multiple orgasm.
Dacus stressed thefiverules for anal sex
(whether performed on a man or woman)
are, "Lube, Lube, Lube, Lube and more
Lubrication!" Adding later that waterbased lubrication should always be used in
conjunction with condoms.
After a brief demonstration, the audience was able to test, smell and taste each

of the products.
Katie Sammons, senior communications
major, smiling ten minutes after volunteering to test the Nipple Nibbler Cream,
giggled, "This is so much fun. It's such
a comfortable and open environment and
I'm still tingling."

�Super-savings from
gravy to detergent
Helpful tips to cut your grocery bill in half
BY CHRIS KING
Pride Staff Writer
Penny-pinching is a necessity
for many students, especially
those who are stuck with weekly
grocery bills. If you're interested
in saving some serious gravy,
the best advice would be to pick
up a Sunday paper and discover
what's nestled at the center.
Major supermarket chains such
as Vons and Albertson's double
the value of almost all manufacture coupons. Combine those
with Catalina coupons - coupons
you receive after purchasing certain items - and you'll pay little
to nothing for otherwise pricey
items such as toilet paper or laundry detergent.
The combination of coupons
and weekly grocery ads are the
dynamic duo for saving, however, it takes time and organization. Match coupons with weekly
store advertised items; especially
those that are buy one get one
free.
Occasionally really hot buys
will be out of stock and when
this happens it's time to capitalize. Request a rain check with
the item's purchase limit - if any
- and continue looking for coupons that match that item in the
weeks to come.
Be aware of brands with many
similar items such as Tide. If
Tide is promoting a new detergent with a coupon, be sure to
buy the exact detergent on the
coupon. Unless the coupon reads
'selected varieties', don't assume
the coupon will cover the Tide
you typically buy. You might get

lucky, but the for the most part it
won't work.
If you just don't have the time
to sift through the paper every
week the savings are still attainable for a reasonable fee.
There are a number websites
that provide services for as little
as $5.00 a month. Be wise when
choosing a website. Make sure
the site provides a list of free item
coupons as well as linking them
with ads.
Photo illustration by Christine Baldwin / The Pride
Lastly, it is imperative that
you verify the savings on your
receipt. From time to time coupons won't double, checkers fail
to scan them, or the item comes
up at the wrong price.
Give coupon shopping some
deep thought. It can have some
lasting effects on your shopping
habits and allow you to actualize
the savings plan you've be yearning for so long.

�The Pride responds to recent criticism
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
O wwwwwwww!
B etween
our own Jason
Nichols (a/k/
a the O-man)
and Athletics
Director Steve
Nichols (no
relation that I know of) I had to
take an entire page-full of barbs
tearing me a new one... and without so much as a kiss!
At least our readers know that
Jason isn't actually in love with
me.
I was under the impression that
The Pride being denied ballot
access was news-worthy; my
esteemed colleague and reader
advocate disagrees.
I can deal.
The trouble is that Jason made
it sound as if the whole purpose
of the article was self-service,
while I was doing my damnedest
to keep my journalist's hat firmly
in place and write from as neutral a position as possible. Feedback from others on campus has,
thankfully, been more generous.
As to having color, I thought it
was unsubtly ironic, except that
it came about because our outstanding business manager, Brian
Reichert, sold a color ad. Nice
coincidence, though.
As to Steve's "rebuttal," all I
can say is 'what were you thinking, dude?' You got your fee
request on the ballot. Would it
have killed you to simply write
in support of The Pride and
leave it at that? How nice that,
as a faculty member (or are you
staff?), you were able to do an
end-run around the student fee
process and start a dialog with
all those bigwigs in the Chancellor's office. Do you sleep better
at night knowing that—whether
the students approve of your $40
fee or not-you have the Chancellor's blessing? Have you started
counting your money yet? Put
a down payment on a new car?

literally hours of searching online for what each of our student
fees pays for, I never did uncover

fees have sky-rocketed. That

pretty much read every issue of
The Pride for the last six semesters, so I definitely would have
voted in favor of a fee to help the
paper reach self-sufficiency—that
fee would have been an investment in developing a product, so
to speak, which would have paid
off later with good ad revenues,
while developing student writing skills and attracting more talented students to our staff.
Lucky for Steve and Karen, it
seems the only students that vote
on the referenda are those who
have an interest in seeing them

the athletics fee.
As for The Pride, maybe we'll
get some entrepreneurial business majors to darken our doorstep and help us become the selfsufficient entity we ought to be.

f x r > A I J J j l \ | j provide. The editors would like to take this opportunity to explain our processes and
how we come up with our stories. We will also like to extend an invitation.
Our paper's primary focus is the CSUSM community, the studentsfirstfollowed by faculty, staff and then the surrounding community. We could
go out and seek storiesfromall around including neighboring cities, the county, the state, the country and the world; however, the problem when
we reach out too far for those stories is trying to tie those stories back in with our campus. That is why we primarily will not go out and cover
stories where the links to our campus are not obvious: there are news sources that cover those stories quite effectively. It is not a limitation of the
abilities of the staff; rather, it is effective utilization of the little space we have to provide coverage of our university.
That brings us to the invitation. Many believe they can do better than the current staff of The Pride. Prove it. Come work for The Pride, be an
editor, a staff writer, a contributor, and be part of the solution. If anything, at least send in your story ideas to pride@csusm.edu if you know of an
event coming up that is newsworthy.
After all, it is easy to call out the problems in something. It is difficult to do something about it.

Who needs college?
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
Why did you go to college? What
are you going to do afterwards? Those
are questions most people don't ask
themselves too often in the middle of
a busy college semester, and depending upon the major the answers probably vary.
Being a history major, the question
always seems to arise of what I am
going to do after college. The problem
is that history is one of those subjects
that people love to disregard as much
ado about nothing. It happened to me
just the other day, I was talking to a
non-collegiate peer, and they asked
what I was majoring in at college.
When I said "history" the inevitable
"oh, what are you going to do with a
degree in that" came back at me. As
the conversation continued they asked
me if I was going to continue on after
my BA, which I said I was, and they
queried in what subject. "History"
again, with its partner spilling from
the mouth of the other as "oh, are you
going to be a teacher." This is about
the third time this year alone that I've
had a conversation along these lines
with someone outside of the college
atmosphere, and it never fails that the
person I'm having the conversation
with makes assumptions about my
future career or chosen major. And
eventually I'll simply be reminded
of how hard it is to get a job in my
chosen field.
It's the assumption that history is
one of those road to nowhere subjects
(at home with the arts, literature, and
similar subjects) that's bothersome.
The fact is I already know that it's
difficult to get a job, even after a college education, and especially with
roughly 70 percent of employers in
the United States currently either
decreasing or at least not increasing
their hiring activities for the beginning of2005. But I'd like to think that
maybe it's just as difficult to find a
good job with any major, not just mine
- although that's one of the assumptions I get all the time. The fact is that
my history major could be used to get
a job in historical research, as a curator, writing, a government job, a job in
film, or even business and the list can
go on with teaching just being one of
many options.
Of course, just because there is a
range of jobs I could do in my major
doesn't mean I'm any better off in the
arena of finding one. People assume
that a job will be more readily available to someone with a business
major, for example, and maybe that's
true to some degree, but job opportunities, and a greater ability to reap the
financial benefits later on, are not all I
went to college for. I went to college in
large part because I wanted to become
a more well rounded person, I wanted
to learn, and I wanted to associate
with similar individuals of like mind.
This is the factor people tend to forget
when I tell them about my major or
how that might lead to a job later on.
Maybe it's just me, but college would
be important even if I never succeeded
in making a cent from it.

�Johnny Carino's serves up
airline-quality fare
BY JOELLE FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
Mama Mia! What a nightmare!
Last Saturday my boyfriend and I had
the misfortune of dining at Johnny Carino's, the new Italian restaurant on San
Marcos Boulevard. Upon exiting the car,
we smelled the enticing aromas of garlic,
basil, and scrumptious Italian cooking.
The hostess informed us that it would
be a fifteen minute wait, which was no
surprise since the place was packed with

families and couples waiting inside and
out. After a quick ten minutes we were
seated at a quaint little booth and promptly
delivered drinks and a loaf of bread in a
white paper bag. The guilt of the no-carbcraze steered me clear of the bread but my
boyfriend reported that it was tasty, and he
dipped it into an olive-oil and garlic sauce
concocted by the waitress at the table.

After waiting twenty minutes, our
growling tummies were ready for a good
meal—not what ended up on our plates!
The salad was drenched in a salty, overpowering dressing (supposed to be on the
side), and the flavors sharply contrasted
with the sweet pecans atop thefish.The
salmon was dry,fishy-tasting,and downright unappealing, but my meal didn't even
compare to my boyfriend's.
His steak tasted like it had been swimming in a vat of butter for at least two
weeks. The vegetables and potatoes
looked old and tired. In general, his meal
was comparable to something that would
be served to your Aunt Millie in her convalescent home.
Overall, we give Johnny Carino's a less
than excellent report, unless of course cafeteria and airplane food are your thing,
in which case you'll love this misguided
chain, posing as a quality Italian eatery...

Keg stand+ " Robots" g ood t echno-escapism
Shakespeare
= great theater
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
When Caesar and Antony do keg stands at
their party, you know this isn't your mother's
Shakespeare.
Before you let the name "Shakespeare" keep
you from reading further, be assured that the
difficulty of his language need not keep you or
the unwashed masses from enjoying this show.
(And if you're already a Shakespeare fan, please
feel free to jump ahead to the next paragraph.) It
may surprise you to learn that you already know
99 percent of the words used in the play (though
there are always a few that require footnotes.)
The thing with Shakespeare is how his words
are put together: musically if you're a learned
fan, archaically if you're not. That in mind, go
to the show with the idea that it's in a "foreign"
language, and look to the actors, the staging, the
props, the music, and, every so often, the actual
words, to follow the story. On to the review:
The Poor Players—arguably San Diego's best
Shakespearean acting company—have done it
again with their lively and relevant production
of "Antony & Cleopatra"-a play about sex, love
and war that opens with a stage full of writhing
bodies and ends with a stage full of dead ones.
Director Nick Kennedy has used Jim Morrison as his inspiration for Antony (Richard

Robots, they aren't just for
nerds anymore.
With the release df the
new 20 Century Fox movie
"Robots" there is finally
proof that an animated movie
can actually make an adult
laugh. This techno-filled
extravaganza moves you to
the point of pure adulation as
you root for the underdog in
this extremely colorful CGI
world.
Rodney Copperbottom
(Ewan McGregor) is dreaming pretty big for a smalltown robot, and once he
makes his way into the big
city to find Big Weld (Mel
Brooks), all hell breaks
loose. When in town he runs

Baird), alluding to similarities between Shakespeare's bacchanalian Antony and the Lizard
King through costume and music choices.
Baird embodies Antony's pomposity and lust,
which are tempered by the fact that he is pussywhipped by the charismatic, and equally, if not
exceedingly, lusty Cleopatra (Amy Meyer).
These larger-than-life characters also make
"Antony & Cleopatra" Shakespeare's funniest
tragedy, providing plenty of opportunities to
laugh before the bloodshed.
Cleopatra is the central figure in the tragic
love triangle with Antony and Caesar (Nick
Kennedy). Meyer was brilliant as the somewhat labile Queen of Egypt, with extra kudos
to the costume department for their embellishment of her highness. Kennedy's usually evenhanded delivery played perfectly in his role as
the great Octavius Caesar-the embodiment of
Roman discipline, and a character so opposed
to Antony and his Egyptian licentiousness that
their faces could serve as models for a pair of
comedy/drama masks.
While every player in this company is worth
seeing, two particularly excellent performances
were given by Mac Macke as Enobarbus and
Edwin Eigner as Lepidus.
"Antony & Cleopatra" runs through April 10
at the Academy of Performing Arts on Alvarado
Canyon Road in San Diego. Visit www.poorplayers.com or call (619) 255-1401 for more
information.
across the eccentric Fender
(Robin Williams) and they
are pushed into a world where
robots are being destroyed
left and right - and it's up to
Rodney to save the day.
Throughout the movie
Fender's comments, and
actions, will leave you with a
little smirk on your face - the
kind of smirk robot humor
brings to the table. While
there are a number of other
in-your-face-funny robots in
the movie, it's Fender (Robin
Williams mind you) whose
improv makes the movie
come alive, while Rodney's
quest keeps you in the story.
The little parts within the
movie - like clever wordplay,
and the contrast of subtle and
startling on screen action
- account for a lot of the
Images courtesy of 20th Century Fox
movie's laughs. The movie
sprints from the opening
scene and never stops; characters are always in motion
and interacting in a way that
is entertaining for everyone.
Don't be fooled by the PG
rating: "Robots" has some
great suggestive humor that
might fly over the heads
The Rock "Be Cool" the
others be lukewarm
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
Sequels are usually not as good as the
original. This isn't engraved in stone
but just a guideline. Don't expect too
much is basically it. "Be Cool" is the
sequel to 1995's "Get Shorty," where
Chili Palmer (John Travolta), a movie
loving shylock becomes a movie producer. Now, in "Be Cool," Palmer is
upset with the movie industry and turns
to the music industry.
But not expecting much isn't the
same as a movie built on other movies.
"Be Cool" has one obvious reference to
other movies after another. It was as if
the writer, Peter Steinfeld, made a list
of references to other movies and then
built the plot around it. Are the references really more important than the
plot? Here's an example: we all remember the dance contest sequence with
Travolta and Thurman in "Pulp Fiction," where Travolta danced for his job
and Thurman danced simply to win.
So it's logical to incorporate a dance
sequence in "Be Cool" and they do. But
after that, the sequence goes nowhere
and does nothing.
On with the plot: Tommy Athens
(James Woods), a friend of Chili's, gets
murdered by the Russian mob. Chili
finishes his Athens' job of producing a
young and innocent singer named Linda
Moon (Christina Milian). But Moon
already has a manager Raji (Vince
Vaughn) with his bodyguard Elliot Wilhelm (The Rock), who works for Nick
Carr (Harvey Keitel), owner of a record
label. Turns out Athens has a debt with
another music label owner, Sin LaSalle
(Cedric the Entertainer). With Athens'
wife Edie (Uma Thurman), Chili has
to promote and produce Moon's debut
album while watching his back. There
are numerous cameos by Steven Tyler
of Aerosmith, Seth Green, etc.
The Rock has the only performance
worth the screen time. We're used to
seeing him as a tough guy onscreen and
as a wrestler. But here, he's a tough guy
of little ones, but is easily
picked up by anyone thirteen
and older.
Next time school leaves
you feeling worked overtoday, maybe?~head over
to the multi-plex, grab some
popcorn, and let "Robots"
make it all better... for 90
minutes anyway.

trying to be tough but in the end, he's
sensitive and doesn't realize he's gay. I
was disenchanted with yet another reference not to another movie but to his
character in the wrestling world. The
reference was "The People's Eyebrow"
where he lifts up his eyebrow into an
arch.
Sadly, "Be Cool" isn't a film. It's
more of a parody, an illusion, a commercial. Everyone involved should take
their gold chains, their black suits, their
hummers, their guns, their one liners
and reflect the movie they made. It
might have seemed funny and poetic on
paper but onscreen it's totally different.

Creating
the perfect
class
schedule
By GABRIEL MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
"Scheduling is an art," said
Professor Susie Cassel, chair
of the literature and writing
department here at CSUSM.
Professor Patty Seleski, chair of
the history department, compared
it to juggling, as the needs of
students and the budget that has
been allocated by the dean have
to be balanced. "It's the curse of
middle management," she said.
The course scheduling process
is much more complex than most
people realize, and thè upcoming budget crisis has only made
it more complicated than before.
Several factors must be juggled
when the department chairs
determine when, where, and how
many sections of a course will be
offered.
The needs of both the major
and of general education (GE)
requirements are considered.
Every department offers several
GE courses, which must be taken
by all students. Enough classes
for the department's major also
have to be offered, but these
classrooms can be hard tofilldue
to their specialized nature. An
attempt is made to offer major
courses at a variety of times,
but usually only one section of
a particular course is. offered per
semester or year.
Attempts are made to offer
courses in "a consistent,
predictable way," said the chair
of the mathematics department,
professor Linda Holt. If several
classes are only available once
per year, schedulers will attempt
to consistently offer courses
during the same semesters.
Class A is always available in
the spring, class B is always in
the fall. These major classes
are arranged like this to avoid
conflict.

The conflict in Iraq has spurred
a recent media frenzy. Local news
has focused on troops leaving for
the Gulf and the nationwide news
has been focused on the words
of President George Bush and
Secretary of State Colin Powell.
It is obvious that important
decisions are being made during
this and the last few months.
These decisions are important
to CSUSM students because
they directly involve the young
citizens, a large percentage
of whom are members of the
military.
This is especially true with the

who are currently enlisted in the

Cal State San Marcos is the

Behind The Scenes
Although the recycling program here at Cal State San
Marcos garnered national recognition last year, many
around the campus community felt that it had a lot of
room for improvement. One such person was a former
Cal State San Marcos employee and recycling program
coordinator, Nancy Quinn. Quinn had been working
diligently toward improving the program, but when the
state of California announced budget cuts to the CSU
system last semester, Quinn was let go.

Rubella, Measles, and Mumps: Oh My!
Student Health Services offers free M MR vaccinations
By JASON PADILLA
Opinion Editor
There is still time to clear the
Measles, Mumps and Rubella
(MMR) immunization that is
required by CSUSM. Students
who are unsure about the current
status of their immunization
need to contact their physician
or doctor in order to clarify the
uncertainties. For students sure
of their need, the Student Health
Services (SHS) clinic will be
offering free MMR vaccination
shots on Friday Feb. 21, Mar 7 and
March 21. MMR vaccines will be
held at the SHS clinic located on
the corner of corner of Craven and
Twin Oaks and are available to all
registered students. Those who
cannot make the scheduled dates
for vaccinations may schedule an
appointment for another time.
Able to spread from person to
person through the air, Measles,
Mumps and Rubella are serious
diseases. Not only are they
serious, but they can also be very
annoying to students who find a
MMR hold on their registration.
The CSU system requires that all
students be immunized to MMR
prior to their first semester of
being enrolled £t a CSU campus.
Junior communication major
Paul Anderson experienced this
first hand. "I didn't even know that
measles mumps or rubella was an
issue, but apparently I needed the
vaccine before I could register for
my first semester at CSUSM a
few years back," Anderson said.
Anderson later went to the SHS
clinic and received his vaccine.

According to Holt, the schedule

don't overlap." Major classes
shouldn't conflict with each other.
The idea is to let students have
access, at some time of the day,
to the classes they need. This
is even further complicated by
the fact that some departments

other majors, or offer classes that

As to why the brand name was changed, Moore
responded, "The Academic Program Marketing
Committee felt that in this region, where most of
the campuses are known by their initials, it would
help San Marcos to stand out by using words* rather
than letters. Also, the group felt that 'Cal State San
Marcos seemed less formal, friendlier, and more
welcoming to incoming students, who were our
highest priority target group."
The decision to make Cal State San Marcos the
brand name trademark of the university was made in
September 2000 by the Academic Program Marketing Task Force. This change was announced to the
campus at the Fall Convocation a year and a half ago and
put into effect at the start of the fall 2001 semester.
An email was sent out to all the task force members to
ask if they would comment on this meeting and the decision that was made, but few responded and the ones who
did only referred The Pride to Rick Moore for the group's
official statement.
When asked if students were officially notified of this
change and how, Moore stated, "Students were represented on the committee. I do not know if their representative 'officially' notified ASI or students. The change in the
university mark did not affect the Cougar mark that is used
by student groups."
Why are students not in the know?
Most students were unaware of this change to the brand
name and were not sure why it took place. According to
Moore, there was no known form of notification for the
student body, because at the time there was no "in the
loop" email and the Cougar Channel did not exist. Since
the change took place a year and a half ago, there has not
been a lot of discussion about it among the student body.
Brodowsky added, "I wonder why, at this time, this is
being followed up on as a high priority issue as if it were
breaking news." In answer to his question, The Pride did
not report on this issue at the time because it was not a
public pertinent announcement that had been made to the
student body, and now as the brand name is used, the focus
on the correct term is at hand.
According to Moore, the response to the change was
stated as, "Enthusiastic acceptance. Some faculty were
concerned that we had taken the word 'university' out
of the mark, so we developed an academic mark for them
to use in certain circumstances, such as when submitting
papers or research findings and when conducting academic
business outside of the northern San Diego region.
Albie Hewlett, a senior communication major, also
commented to the name brand change. "We as students
are the ones who use this title to acknowledge our university. It is something as simple as a name that can help build
an individual's school pride and this can be particularly
important for a university like CSUSM!" Hewlett said.

que se le tenía coraje por estar

Veterans' Day Celebration:
By GAIL TARANTINO
Pride Staff Writer
The CSUSM Veterans Association, lead by president Gary
Taylor, United States Army
(Ret.), held a celebration on
campus Monday, Nov. 11,
honoring all veterans and commemorating the 227th birthday
of the Marine Corps.
Ceremony Events
Taylor spoke briefly about the
origin of Veterans' Day including how, in 1921, it was originally called Armistice Day to
celebrate the end of WWI arid
to pay tribute to the Unknown
Soldier. In 1954, in order to
honor all those whov served in
American wars, then-President
Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a
bill proclaiming November 11th
as Veterans' Day.
Throughout the ceremony,
two protestors sat off to
one side. CSUSM student
and army veteran Shawn
Harris was protesting the
ceremony and had upset
some audience members,
Harris was holding a sign
that said, "rebuild America,

and "read the foreign press"
on the other side. When
asked Harris said, "this
university should not be
allowed to become a forum
to promote military activities." "This is a campus," he
said, "not a military base."

The ceremony began with an
introduction by Taylor and a
speech by CSUSM President
Alexander Gonzalez, himself

for their service and praised
them as students. Taylor asked
those in attendance to observe
a moment of silence to honor
veterans who "...have served
their country with honor, courage and commitment.:."
More than 800 veterans attend
classes at CSUSM and there
are approximately 30 veterans on the faculty and staff.
According to Taylor, part of the
mission of the campus Veteran's
Association is to "unify all past,
present and future veterans who
are members of the CSUSM
community..."

explained that CSUSM's MBA
program produced itsfirstgraduate in 1996 and has been growing
ever since.
Manley further said that
CSUSM's undergraduate business program has the largest

bode well for the future of both
CSUSM's MBA program and the
corresponding alumni associa-

President Ken Green, who
was also the founding member of
CSUSM's MBA Students Association, spoke earnestly about the
goals of the alumni association.
These goals included "serving as a conduit between MBA
alumni and the university, and
facilitating career growth for
the alumni" Green, like all the
association's officers, eagerly
emphasized the association's
desire to recruit new members.

Dr. Reed began his presentation by emphasizing, "Every
resident should have access
to higher education with out
financial constraint...It's a basic
social right."
On Wednesday, Nov. 13, at
Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM)
Dr. Adolph Reed Jr., professor of
political science at New School
University and award winner of
the "Scholar of Vision," spoke of
a call to action that could provide
no-cost access to higher education for eligible students. This
was a call to ignite the grassroots campaign sponsored by the
Labor Party at the Labor Party
Convention and Conference in
Washington, DC in July 2002.

enrollment
opened this November, and large
student loans and debt accumulate within each class credit. A
college degree can offer stability by securing more choices.
Government education statistics
prove that higher education gives
people a chance to build a better
life for themselves^ Therefore
by following the Labor Party's
guidelines, higher education at
no-cost greatly increases social
opportunities.
CSUSM is one of many campuses that Dr. Reed will visit in
his attempts to spark enthusiasm
for developing a significant consensus for the Labor Party issues
on "Free Higher Education." He
wants students, faculty, and the
community to gain an increased
awareness of the need for no-cost
mere pennies at over $23 billion
compared to the massive annual
federal budget. Allocation of
government funds, without the
increase of taxes, allows the
government to divert corporate
tax breaks to support the growing need for free post-secondary
institutions. Dr. Reed implied
that the free tuition policy covers
two percent of the annual federal
budget and is easily incorporated
into the trillions of dollars going
to corporations, airline bailouts,
and government spending.
As a staunch supporter of the
Labor Party, Dr. Reed spoke of
the imperativeness for residents
to access higher education while
revitalizing public institutions
with marginal, implemental
costs. "Free higher education
doesn't cost a lot of money and
The campaign on "Free you get a big bang for your

The DJDI quoted, "...report also
found that each dollar spent educating that 40 percent alone produced a $6.90 return in national
output due to extra education and
increased Federal tax revenues
for the extra income the beneficiaries earned."
The free tuition campaign
applies similar, progressive strategies as the military G.I. Bill,
also known as the Servicemen's
Readjustment Act of 1944. After
World War I, the G.I. Bill allowed
veterans coming back from the
war to attend college. The Federal Veteran's Administration
(VA) said that this bill has had
more impact on the American
way of life than any law. The VA
also said that President Franklin
D. Roosevelt signed the bill in
order to motivate a desire to
"spare the veteran and the nation
the economic hardships that
accompanied the return." The
free higher education campaign
is similar to the G.I. Bill because
it establishes the same fundamental principle in a broader sense.
Free
higher
education allocates
funds to the larger
population rather than
small segment.
Free higher education provides
access to post-secondary institutions and affects the need for a
higher level of education offered.
The campaign stresses people
taking local initiative to build
solidarity for success through
word of mouth and understanding the urgency to create a
system for social reform of the
polarization of higher education.
By slowly building relationships
with action, a diverse activism is
created by revealing the need to
depolarize colleges and Universities said Reed.
To close the campaign, Dr.
Reed, who heads Debs-JonesDouglass Institute in New York,
implored, "Nothing is more
effective than building personal
relationships.. .building fundamental solidarities...Like you
say.. .share the vision."

Searching for Mentors
Mentoring: A Possitive Experience for College Students
By STEVEN ZAMORA
Opinion Editor
To be a mentor is to have
an opportunity to impact various students who are neèd of
academic help. Joan Helms,
associate under the Wellness
Department within the Poway
Unified School District, along
with the Poway Unified School
District itself, will argue for more
mentors, in order to positively
impact their students as much
as possible. They are looking for
college students to be the mentors for their students.
General Colin L. Powell (Ret.),
Chairman of America's Promise
and Secretary of State, talks
about "Commitment makers,"
which are some individuals or
organizations trying to make a
difference by pledging their time,
treasures, and resources towards
helping our youth, is referencing,
through Helm's interpretation,
the role that mentors plays in
the education process. Mentors
are "commitment makers," says
Helms. They pledge their time,
treasures, being their education,
and resources, college and experience, to help the nation's youth
succeed in school.
Helms is offering college
students who can spend an
hour every week throughout the
remainder of the school year
a chance to be "commitment
makers."
Mentoring is a positive process
that allows the mentors, as well
as their protégés, a chance to gain
from their experience together.
Helms commented, "Over 98
percent of mentored students
said they have benefitedfromthe
program by increased academic
achievement, improved self-
confidence, increased attendance
at school, improved attitudes
and improved self-control. In
addition, mentors are sometimes
credited with helping students
to stay away from drugs and
alcohol."

Make Impossible Pumpkin Pie
By RACHEL FRANKLE
For The Pride
Thanksgiving is a special time
of year to spend with friends
and loved ones. This American
tradition is filled with family,
pictures, memories, prayers,
gratitude, and hope. Holiday
spirit fills the air as we all long
to make precious memories that
will stay with us for our entire
lives. Christmas is right around
the corner and the New Year is
following close in second. But
everything starts with a lavish
spread of Thanksgiving food
including: mashed potatoes,
yams, turkey, stuffing, gravy,
and cranberry sauce. Lastly, we
eat dessert. Dessert ia the final
food that we enjoy on this holiday. I challenge you to* make it
special and try out this recipe for
"Impossible Pumpkin Pie." My
mother discovered this recipe
years ago on a Bisquick box. It
has become a cherished favorite
of our family for years and it can
be yours, too. Many people enjoy
the holiday rich foods, but also
worry about the pounds it tends
to add. With this recipe, you can
enjoy the food and your trim
body all at the same time. Just
follow these simple instructions
and be prepared to take a savory
bite launching you into the holiday spirit.

sert. One great aspect about this
pumpkin pie is it makes its own
crust. That makes the pie not
only less filling, but also lower
in fat than a typical pumpkin
pie. You know what that means,
ladies? No more post holiday
starving and binge workouts!
My mother comments: "You
will not believe how simple it is
to make this pumpkin pie. It is
less costly, lower in fat, and most
importantly, it tastes great." Take
my mother's advice and try out
this recipe. You will not regret it
and neither will your waist line.
Happy holidays and enjoy our
family's piece of pie.
A Tastey Appetizer: Artichoke Heart Dip
By MELISSA BUTTRELL
For The Pride
As everyone knows, Thanksgiving is a time to spend with
your family but it is also a
time for food. Everyone always
stresses over what they are
going to make for Thanksgiving
dinner, but this is the trick. Here
is a recipe for an appetizer to
start your day off right. It is for
Artichoke Heart Dip; it is simple
and tastes great. And no one has
all the time in the world to cook
so this is good for everyone. But
before you can start you will first
need to get some ingredients
from the store.
2 Large jars of marinated artichoke hearts
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
After you # have collected all
your ingredients you are ready
to begin. The first thing you
will need to do is set your oven
to 350 degrees. Drain and chop
all artichoke hearts. Then put all
your ingredients in a 9" by 13"
glass pan and mix. Bake at 350
degrees for a good 20 to 25 minutes. Pull the pan out and allow
it to cool. Do not forget to turn
your oven off. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips. If you are
taking it on the road or to a house
nearby, store it in something that
will keep it warm. A nice carrying bag with a heating pad will
work just fine.
Your guests will be so
impressed by the dish that they
will think you slaved over the
stove for hours, but I guess what
they don't know won't kill them.

The Best of Both Worlds here

its way whether we like it or not.
Thanksgiving is going to be here

be here before we know it. Before
we get too far ahead of ourselves
with the joy of Christmas let's not
skip over all the incredible food
that comes along with Thanksgiving.
The aroma of the turkey is
overwhelming. The moist stuffing and the buttery mashed
potatoes sit heaped up in bowls
on the table filled with cranberry
sauce, biscuits, yams, and countless other sides. A must have for
everyone's Thanksgiving is a pie
of some sort. The most popular
pies seem to be apple and pumpkin. Wouldn't it be great to combine both of those flavors into
one pie? Well, we are going to

la registración de su equipaje,
porque en esto puede depender
si llegan con sus maletas al lugar

consejo para todos los viajeros
es que eviten ser víctimas de
esta corrupción que desafortunadamente está tan arraigada
en México. Si viajan por Aerocalifornia o por cualquier otra
aerolínea, tengan mucho cuidado
por que desgraciadamente esto
les puede pasar a ustedes también/Y debido a tanta burocracia
en México y a la falta de justicia,
es imposible hacer algo para
evitar que esto siga sucediendo.
Así que extrememos nuestras
precauciones al viajar con este
tipo de aerolíneas irresponsables.
Espero que este comentario les
sirva de algo cuando salgan de

�OPINION
Dream of a World Unlike Dreamworlds
By JENNIFER AGEE
Pride Staff Writer
Disgust festering into rage...
cold chills and a clenched j aw...
a stomach as tight as every
muscle in your body... These
are just a few of some viewer's
reactions likely to be generated
by watching the film Dreamworlds: Gender/Sex/Power in
Rock Video.
The effects of viewing this
55 -minute film are far-reaching
and long lasting. Dreamworlds,
a 'simple' media criticism focusing on music videos, promises to
be the most disturbing film you
have ever seen.
MTV actually threatened to
sue the producer and narrator
of the film, Sut Jhally. A letter
was sent to Jhally ordering him
to 'cease and desist' promoting
and using the video. In a crafty
altercation, Jhally was able to
frame the matter such that MTV
received bad press on the issue,
and so immediately ceased all
pressure from MTV. (You know
you're doing something right

That's right Mary,

and beyond. Emerging Leaders
is aimed at first year students to
take part in a small, leadershiporiented class. It is very simple
to join, sign up at orientation
and show up at the first class.
The class is voluntary and will
hopefully be offered for credits
in years to come. It consists of
meeting one night a week for two
hours and a weekly typed journal
on a suggested topic. Poullard
refers to this years group as the
"dynamic dozen" and feels that
"it is at the GORE of what they
do in Student Affairs which is to
'empower students and to help
them find their own voice.
The program offers unique
opportunities such as having a
student/professor panel come
and share their leadership experiences, joining private receptions
like Jonathan Kozol's before
his informative lecture at the
California Center for the Arts
of Escondido, and serving as a
"base of support with other members," said Matt Curran. When
talking with the group members
about what ELP is, Colleen Lee
quickly replied: "ELP is an awesome program that builds great
leadership skills in freshmen.
It helps us to learn who we are
an^ how effective we can be as
leaders." In addition to learning
leadership skills, Caroline Rizk
makes the point that "ELP is a
way f or freshmen to get involved
and build new friendships but it
is also a means of discovering
who we are and how the way we
believe affects the way we live,"
Purpose, Controversy with Civility, and Citizenship. Students
challenge each other in a highly
supportive class that culminates
with students developing their
own Leadership Action Plan."
People must be congruent with
themselves before they can lead
others. This class takes self-definition seriously by participating
in many activities, journals, discussions and analyzing real life
situations. The students involved
will be much more aware of who
they are and what they believe in
by the time this class is over.
"Most importantly though, the
ELP is about helping students
learn how they lead, and about
assisting students in making
positive s ociar change within
their community," said Poullard.
These youiig adults have had
much experience on the basics of
how to become a leader. The next
step is to take action and make
a difference on campus such as
Orientation Team as many of
these young leaders have applied
and been accepted to. As freshmen, these students are given
the opportunity to meet other
freshmen and make the transition to college easier by meeting
others with the same interests.
The advantage of having a small
group is that everyone knows
each other by name, Stephanie
Gaul jokingly added that "it's
group therapy, when you need
it" because there is mutual trust
and respect at all times. Emerging Leaders Program is a positive
atmosphere for students to further their leadership abilities and
learn about different leadership
roles on campus. Although it is
fairly small this year, it will hopefully continue to expand in years
to come. Jennifer Hauser enthusiastically stated: "This program
is definitely an invaluable vehicle
to obtain my future goals and
endeavors. I would recommend
this to absolutely everyone."
This group appears close-knit
and is "the beginning to a great
circle of friendships and relationships. I learned a great deal of
respect and love for people. It
has strengthened my morals and
self-realization," said Tiffany To.
Wright adds that "ELP is based
on the Social Change Model of

Unexpected Events Happened During "Cal State Squares"

Rick Moore, CSUSM Director of

Veterans' Association BBQ a Resounding Success
By JEFF BROWNLEE
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM veterans continued a
pattern of service last Monday
by providing fellow CSUSM
students with barbecued hot
dogs and hamburgers. A steady
stream of students satisfied
their appetites courtesy of the
CSUSM Veterans' Association
after 5 p.m. on Oct 7th in Founders Plaza.
Association barbecue is unique
in that the event actually preceded the association. In 2001, a
small group of CSUSM veterans
got together to develop an event
to benefit the campus. The result
of their cooperation was not only
the first barbecue, but also the
genesis of the Veterans' Association, which will hopefully
receive greater attention after the
success of this year's BBQ.

food until about 6:00, but there
was a line of people until at least

According to President Gary
Taylor, the CSUSM Veterans' Association is devoted
to enabling veterans to "help

of the conference, Gary Taylor, a
San Marcos High School AVID
professor, explained that it's
"Trying to get AVID students
focused on what college would
be like." Taylor also added, "It's
a great opportunity for students
to see the college layout." Cathy
Munson, a San Marcos Middle
School AVID professor, said
that once these students get
into college, they might be the
only under-represented student
in their classrooms. However,
Munson explained that this
conference gives the students an
opportunity to be surrounded by
students who are just like them.
Jatziri Alarcon, a San
Marcos Middle School student,
described her experience at the
conference. "It's cool because
you get to know more about college and about what's better in
the future," Alarcon said.

Microsoft Shares its Future with CSUSM
By JASON PADILLA
Pride Staff Writer
Kerfoot's job involves traveling to large Microsoft customers
and telling them about the benefits of working with Microsoft,
and their new technologies to
come out in the future. The largest of these customers of Microsoft include Nissan, Qualcomm,
and many others. According tq
Kerfoot, the new technologies
that Microsoft plans to release
have a substantial involvement
with the Internet, and building what will be known as the
Digital Economy, or connecting
every business together.
Over 50 people showed up to
Academic Hall 115 Thursday
night to hear a little insight on
the future of Microsoft, presented by guest speaker Scott
Kerfoot. The presentation was
co-hosted by Cal State San
Marcos' own Alumni Association, and the Association Information Technology Professionals

Stan Johnson described the
association as being in an early
formative stage. Johnson said
the association is currently in the
process of developing a mission
statement and the association
members eventually hope to be
able to provide assistance to veterans and their families.
Some members of the CSUSM
Veterans' Association, such
as Treasurer Tom Watson, are
currently on active duty in the
military. Watson is participating
in the Marine Enlisted Com-

The Tablet PC is a slate-like

beyond Forum Plaza, between
University Hall and the new
Arts Building, the location was
ideal for passing students to
observe their peers laughing and
having a great time. Overall,
the scene was light and happy,
and several people felt comfortable enough to stop and chat
with sideline spectators.
The competition consisted
of four classic events, each a
childhood favorite, yet with a
contemporary spin. The first
in a series of grueling feats of
skill was Speed Twister. A
member from each team battled
with one another simultaneously onfiveseparate Twister
mats. Whoever was the last one
standing on each one of the mats
won points for their team. This
was quickly followed by the old
camp favorite "Spin-'round-thebat-and-run" relay. During the
event, each member from every
team spun around seven times
with the bat on their forehead,
which was an oversized candle,
and then had to slalom their way
through a series of orange cones
to touch a flag. Sprinting back
to where they had begun was the
only way to tag the next teammate inline.
From there, the players moved
on to a condensed Frisbee Golf
match, where one member from
each team took turns throwing
a frisbee into a net trap about 20
yards away. Just as in regular
golf, the least amount of throws
won. After the adrenaline and
energy from the relay before, the
golf game quickly became organized chaos, with frisbees being
tossed randomly like graduation
caps.
Thefinalportion of the contest
was Speed Pumpkin Carving.
As a team, everyone had 10 minutes to create something artistic
from a lopsided gourd; it was not
merely speed that scored points,
but quality as well. Some simply
hacked out their Greek symbols,
while other teams such as PAN
went so f ar as to use a dragon
stencil to produce an eye-catching image.
Winners were announced
Thursday at 12 p.m. First place
was awarded to APSS, who
received $100 for their efforts.
Second place went to Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, who in turn won
$50. PAN won third place and
received $25. The prizes went
towards the club accounts.

The Exploration of Maternal B onds Exhibit
By RIA CUSTODIO
Staff Writer
Curiosity tears through the
imagination with an interesting
title like "Tight Teeth and A
Marvelous Cake."
Inspiring artist Anna O'Cain
reveals her aesthetic and tactile motivations, capturing the
essence of the maternal bond,
within her art. O'Cain mixes
visually stimulating, sensory
art with an ounce of maternal
flare in the pieces scheduled to
exhibit with the Arts and Lecture Series.
She brings life to art by con-
ceptualizing a box of mementos
from her mother. A bit of life's
instruction, a pinch of family
matters and juicy tidbits of
gossip demonstrate the range of
her art exhibit The art show is
scheduled to exhibit at Cal State
San Marcos beginning Oct. 23rd
and will run through the end of
November. O'Cain also exhibits
her craft by transcribing work
onto photographs in her gallery
on Wednesday mornings. The
nature of O'Cain's work demonstrates the historical relevance of
the roles of women within cultural aspects.

LETTER TO
THE EDITORS
Dëar
Pride,
I just wanted to write Chris
Martin about his review of
"Red Dragon" and ask him
why he believes that the film
is, for all intents and purposes,
a remake of "Manhunter?"
I find that to be absolutely
rediculous. When you remake
a film, you're simply updating the telling of it. Like with
"Psycho," they just added color
to Hitchcock's masterpiece.
Other remakes follow the
same plotting, but update it to
modern settings and the like.
With "Red Dragon," Brett
Ratner has made an adaptation of the novel of the same
title by Thomas Harris. That's
why the credits say based on
the novel by Thomas Harris,
not based on the film "Manhunter" by Michael Mann.
Mann's film is a much looser
adaptation than Ratners, and
rather inferior, in my opinion.
So, Mr. Thomas Harris expert,
do tell me if you made a mistake in what you Said, or if
you really believe that Ratner
was remaking "Manhunter".
I'd also like to know what you
thought of the ending of the
novel "Hannibal" compared
to the ending of the film "Hannibal."

Se encuentra abierta al público
en general la exposición "El Arte
Defiende". Esta muy particular
exhibición de arte organizada
por el Taller de Arte Fronterizo
que dirige Michael Schnorr se
está presentando en la Galería de
Arte del Colegio Southwestern
en Chula Vista hasta finales de
mes. Se presentan trabajos de
niños y jóvenes de la comunidad
de Maclovio Rojas en Tijuana,
así como también de algunos
otros artistas que muestran en
sus obras las experiencias vividas dentro de la población.
Para estimular la creatividad
de los niños, Huato y Aguiñiga
les enseñan diferentes técnicas
de pintura. Aguiñiga expresó
que muchos niños piensan
que no son capaces de dibujar
o pintar un cuadro con valor
estético pero que después de
enseñarles cómo y ofreciéndoles los diferentes materiales
utilizados para que puedan
crear algo con facilidad y de
una manera divertida, los niños
se entusiasman y se les enciende el pensamiento creativo.
El objetivo de los instructores
es el de enseñarles una manera
de expresar sus emociones. "La
situación en Maclovio es muy
difícil. Algunos niños no tienen
casa, a otros los abandonaron sus
papás, no van a la escuela, andan
en las calles todo el día, cargan
cuchillos, se pelean entre sí, y
otros venden drogas para poder
comer. Entonces es importante
el proporcionar a los niños una
manera de expresión no verbal,
ya que cuando se expresan verbalmente son censurados, y a

plasman sus vivencias en muros
hechos de puertas de cocheras.
En cada uno de los trabajos
que se pueden apreciar en esta
exposición se encuentra el alma
frustrada, acongojada, sedienta, hambrienta, o dichosa de
un joven, de un niño o de un
adulto. Detrás de estas piezas se
encuentran los seres que denuncian injusticias y carencias de
todo tipo.

y junto con otros artistas voluntarios empezaron a construir
el Centro de Arte Comunitario

Elizabeth Huato y Tania Aguiñiga son dos voluntarias que
han estado asistiendo a impartir
clases de artes plásticas y pintura
a la comunidad de Maclovio
Rojas. Huato es estudiante de
Diseño Gráfico én el plantel de
Southwestern y Aguiñiga estudia
Diseño de Muebles en la Universidad Estatal de San Diego.
Actualmente el centro Aguascalientes cuenta con siete voluntarios y voluntarias. Cuatro de
ellos son estudiantes de arte, dos

Para Huato, es muy importante
que ellos se puedan expresar a
través del arte, pero también es
uña forma para que ellos consideren el arte como carrera futura.
"El crear una forma de arte para
que la vendan y se puedan sostener económicamente es muy
bueno, pero más que nada es
pintar para desahogarse, ellos
pasan por problemas que uno
nunca se imagina. Para mí el
arte es expresión y para ellos
debe de ser también," expresó
Huato con una actitud optimista.
De acuerdo con Huato, su mejor
experiencia ha sido el pintar los
murales con el grupo de jóvenes.
"Todas las actividades eran en
la noche y era muy divertido,
parecía como que temamos
fiesta. Es uno de los mejores
recuerdos que tengo," expresó
Huato.
Huato también habló de la
pintura de un joven, Jonathan, la
cual realizó con colores de agua.
"La forma en que él la pintó me
dejó anonadada porque no me
imaginaba las cosas que él era
capaz de pintar. Es una pintura
abstracta, lo que es muy difícil
para un niño. Me impresionó el
talento que tiene, así que le sigo
dando material para que continúe
pintando." El arte abstracto de

A little after 1:00 p.m., at
Qualcomm Stadium in San
Diego, California the Chargers
and the Kansas City Chiefs
began a game that was a close
contest.
After a dazzling reverse from
#21 LaDainian Tomlinson to
#85 Tim Dwight the Chargers
opened tip the first quarter 7-0
against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The momentum was in favor
of the Chargers, however with
turnovers caused by fumbles
and interceptions, the Chiefs
capitalized on the errors and led
at the end of the second quarter
by 3, making the score 7 Chargers and 10 Chiefs.
As the third quarter progressed, the Chargers would
get very close to the red zone,
but were never able to score due

Just when the Chargers looked
as if they were going to lose the
game, the Charger's defense
racked up a key interception that
left their offense in striking distance of the Chiefs red zone.
The Chargers benefited from
the interception because Tomlinson was then able to rush twice
for the inzone and score another
touchdown that made the score

those two rushes by Tomlinson,

just to reach the inzone. This
determination and second efforts
by the Chargers displayed their
will to win.
Towards the end of the third
quarter and into the fourth
quarter, the Chargers and Chiefs
battle back to back with touchdowns. The first strike was
delivered by Chiefs quarterback
Trent Green who increased the
Chief's score by seven, and then
the Charger's battled back with a
hand off to #80 Curtis Conway,
which led to his running touchdown. The score now was Chargers 21, Chiefs 24.
Now entering the fourth quarter the Chiefs connected with
a brilliant pass from Green to

a touchdown reception. However, the Chargers answer back

First I want to say that the layout

impressive. You're all doing

We hadn't really considered

we all thought that it would be

This is in response to the article

Melissa Reed in the September
24th paper. Melissa, while I

to diversityr I have to say I think
it is extremely distorted. Before
you jump on the defensive side
I want you to know that I truly
wish that our society were
indeed as tolerant of diversity as
you perceive it, but unfortunately
it is not. I noticed that you
yourself said in your article that,
"as a Literature and Writing
major... I have been forced to
take many classes that in one
way or another involve ethnic
studies and cultural diversity." If
the classes were not mandatory,
would you have taken them
simply out of scholarly interest?
Probably not which is why the
University chooses to make
these t roes of classes mandatory.
There are many people, just like
you, who instead of celebrating
cultural differences look at them
negatively as hindrances.
Recognizing and accepting
cultural differences is what
diversity is about. While you
may not feel more "connected"
to a member of another race
or ethnicity after class, you
should at least feel like you
have a better understanding
about their experiences and
perspectives. And we all need
to learn about these experiences
and perspectives as they are
extremely different depending
on one's ethnic background. We
have to be realistic and admit that
there is no such thing as a same
"across the board" American
experience in terms of ethnicity.
This is what classes like LTWR
450: Multiethnic American
Literature portray. To say that
classes like this are a slap in the
face — classes that give everyone
a chance to study literature
which is no doubt based upon the
different experiences, good and
bad, that result from us living
in a diverse society — is a total
disregard for diversity.
Literature" could not possibly fit
the course objective of LTWR
450. While this class' goal is to
compare writings from various
ethnic groups found here in
America, it also says that it " ...
examines texts through thematic
and/or historical frameworks
in order to view them as
products of varying cultural
and historical circumstances."
(pg. 268, CSUSM University
Catalog). Imagine trying to
study the American Civil War
from one ethnic perspective. It's
impossible because you have, the
perspective of the slave owner
and then that of the slave. The
fact that you do not understand
nor recognize cultural diversity
as celebrating our differences
in an equal manner, and does
not necessarily constitute any
separation, shows the lack of
progress in cultural diversity
and maybe even the failure of
the classes to do what they were
created to do.

you were, of the idea of ethnic
diversity. I have yet to be made
more aware of my multicultural
background than when I lived* in
New York. And while someone's
ethnic background might not
have been discussed at your
family's dinner table, believe
me, it was being discussed at
many others. Lastly I would
like to address your idea of
"incorporation". Let's first get
this straight. There is a huge
difference between incorporation
and assimilation. To just lump all
literature, or even culture under
the title of "American" would
be a disservice and a blatant
disregard to those members of
the many ethnicities that have
contributed to the greatness of
America.
You cannot expect people
to simply label themselves as

many perspectives as possible.
Instead of looking at diversity
as a separatist idea, accept it as a
necessary way to foster tolerance
and as a means to possibly
achieve real and total equality.
I applaud the University f or its
dedication to the idea of diversity
and encourage the powers that be
to do more to bring about an
enthusiastic understanding and
acceptance of our culturally
diverse society. I also challenge
CSUSM students to participate
in the understanding of diversity
by voluntarily taking classes that
foster acceptance and celebrate
our differences. By doing
this, more people will see that
these classes do not perpetuate
separatist views but instead at
best, create a sense of unity
and at the very least, produce a
higher level of understanding.

�"Pride on the Prowl" in Full Color
By JULIE MYRES
Pride Staff Writer
Claudia Pawlowski painting the Veterans* Association window. Photo by
Desmond Barca.
For the second time in homecoming history at Cal State San
Marcos, the window-painting
contest was a hit. The theme
chosen this year was simply
"Pride on the Prowl." Extravagant and creative paintings were
displayed on the windows around
Founder's Plaza all during homecoming week from Oct. 5th—13th.
The CSUSM Veterans Association painted the window that was
chosen as the winner of the 2002
window-painting contest by the
Homecoming Planning Committee.
Claudia Pawlowski and Justin
Knott were the artistic talent
that created the window painting
next to the coffee cart that won
the grand prize. Claudia, a Biology major CSUSM student, and
member of the CSUSM Veterans
Association, portrayed a cougar
on the prowl beside an American
Flag, as well as the theme boldly
stated at the top of the window.
Club, Alpha Xi Delta, Women's
Studies Student Association,
Asian Pacific Student Society,
Alpha Chi Omega, CSUSM
Veterans Association, and College Democrats were the student
organizations that participated in
this artistic adventure.
The Homecoming Planning
Committee members, who voted
independently, chose the winner.
Then, Wright tallied all the votes
to come up with the grand-prize
winner. Wright. said, "Besides
some added exposure to the
campus via a non-traditional
form of advertising, the winner
received a $25.00 credit to their
student organization account."
This event was a Student and
Residential Life (SRL) sponsored activity t hat included all
student organizations that were
interested in competmg. The

WWII Veteran Daniel Ashe
By STEPHANIE BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Last Thursday, World War II
Veteran Daniel Ashe discussed
his experiences during the war,
including his service with the 5th
Army of General Mark Clark,
where he helped liberate concen
tration camps. He titled his lec
ture, “What I Found in Europe in
the Wake of WWII.”
Born in New York City in
1925, Ashe lived through the
Great Depression of the 1930s. It
was during his elementary school
years that he learned of the begin
nings of World War II and Adolf
Hitler’s orders to send troops into
the Rhineland in 1936.
When he turned 11 years old,
Ashe said he knew he wanted
to enter the armed forces, but
he feared that the war would be
over before he was old enough to
fight.
In June of 1940, when he
was 15 years old, Ashe graduated
from high school, and entered
college, enrolling in the ROTC
program. He later joined the U.S.
Army, and was sent to Fort Benning in Georgia for his training,
which he referred to as “90 days
of hell.”
Ashe had been told that he
should never volunteer for any
thing in the Army. However when
the 5th Army of General Mark
Clark began searching for soldiers
who spoke other languages, Ashe,
who spoke French, Qerman, and
Spanish, volunteered his services.
Ashe, and other multilingual sol
diers worked together to find con
fidential war information from
the German prisoners of war.
He said he enjoyed the volunteer
work, and felt “always a little
behind the lines.” The Army later
asked him to learn Russian and
Japanese, which he learned in six
weeks.
While in Germany, Ashe
aided in liberating concentration
camps. Upon freeing the first
camp, Ashe said he was “appalled
at man’s inhumanity to man.”
Ashe witnessed the emaciated,
starving, and lice-ridden victims
of the concentration camps, and
said he realized how blessed he
was to be an American citizen. He
also witnessed the joy of the liber
ation, including two Jewish men
walking out of the camp, arguing
about whether they should go to
the U.S. or Israel. In 1945, Ashe
also helped liberate other camps
in Bavaria.
While in Munich, Ashe
became involved with the Dis
placed Person’s Commission,
which brought 350,000 people to
the US. Ashe was one of the men
in charge of deciding who could
come to the U.S. and those who
could not; those who came to
the U.S. could not havea crimi
nal record, could not have tuber
culosis, and had to prove that
they were displaced because of
the war.

By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Opinion Editor
Friday night, approximately
220 students filled the California
Center for the Arts, Escondido,
for Associated Students, Inc.’s
first masquerade ball celebrat
ing ASI’s 10th anniversary. The
evening featured a full spread
of hors d’oeuvres and desserts,
a cash bar, a disc jockey, danc
ing, and a raffle for Mardi Gras
masks and party favors. Litera
ture and writing studies major
Katrina Richert said, “This is so
much fun, butl wish they would
have told us there would be food.
We went out to dinner before
coming, and we could have saved
a lot of money.”CSUSM students
were admitted free of charge,
and non-students paid $10 to
attend the ball. The masquerade
began at 7 p.m., and guests
dressed in tuxedos, suits, and
ball gowns. The last guests left
around 12:15 a.m. “We decided
on a masquerade theme because
the original date was closer
to Halloween time. When the
date changed, advertising was
already out,” said Chris Smith,
ASI Afternoon Activities Chair
man. “I would like to have seen
more Latinos at the dance, but
other than that, it was a lot of fun
to be with the campus commu
nity,” said Caty Angeles, a staff
member for college of arts and
science advising.
Most of the masqueraders
arrived by 9:30 p.m. “The turn
out could be better,” said Smith,
*but then again, if I wasn’t help
ing with organizing the event,
I wouldn’t be here yet; more
people will start to show up
around 10 p.m.” Throughout the
evening, ASI photographers took
pictures of friends and couples,
apd guests either dined at tables
or danced on the dance floor.
These pictures will be available
for purchase online at the
CSUSM website.
Kids o f all ages enjoyed dancing.

Lawsuits Against
University
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
Four new discrimination
lawsuits were filed against
CSUSM in October, adding
to’ the growing list of dis
crimination lawsuits filed by
employees against the school.
Phyllis Ferguson, a mainte
nance mechanic, and three
accountants, Kim Gomez,
Tricia C. Frady, and Cecilia
Boze, are the newest CSUSM
employees filing lawsuits alleg
ing racial and/or sexual
discrimination.
Ferguson filed charges
against CSUSM at Superior
Court in Vista on Oct. 31.
Some of the charges Ferguson
alleges in her lawsuit include
racial and gender discrimina
tion, retaliation, defamation,
negligence, and assault and
battery.
Thomas Blair, director of
Facilities; Chuck Walden,
associate director of Facilities;
Mike Rivera, lead carpenter of
Facility Services; Tim Shine,
building systems engineer of
Facility Services; Rick Fish,
lead locksmith of Facilities,
and CSUSM are the defen
dants in this case.
Ferguson declined com
ment about her lawsuit, saying,
“I have been advised by my
lawyer to make no comments.”
Her attorney was unavailable
to make any comments before
press time.
In her lawsuit files, Fer
guson claims that she was
denied wage increases, pro
motion, job training and edu
cational career opportunities
afforded to Caucasian employ
ees. She also claims that,
because she is African Ameri
can, she was continuously sub
jected to different regulation,
rules, and standards than her
Caucasian counterparts.
Ferguson also alleges that
she'was forced to use a Porta-Potty instead of an indoor
bathroom facility made avail
able to male co-workers. Fur
thermore, she claims to believe
that her sex was a substantial
factor, if not the sole factor,
in CSUSM’s discriminatory
treatment, according to court
files.
Thomas Blair, director of
Facilities, could not be reached
for comment after The Pride
left messages at his office and
via e-mail.
Chuck Walden, another,
defendant in Ferguson’s law
suit, told The Pride to contact
Rick Moore and declined to
make any comment.

The 22nd District Agricul

Fair 2001 at the Del Mar Fair
grounds Friday. The event show
cased environmental, recycling
and sustainable resource exhibi
tors along with such well known
associations as Surf Rider, Sierra
Club, and I Love a Clean San
Diego. “This is a great oppor
tunity to meet professionals in
various fields and to learn about
things we can all do to improve
the place we live in,” said Nancy
Strauss, resource coordinator for
the Agricultural Association; She
added, “this event is about gath
ering and sharing information education is part of our mission
statement.”
One of the more interesting
exhibits featured a project from
Greg Quirin’s auto shop class at
James Madison High School in
Clairemont. Quirin, with the help
of assistant Dan McKinley, and
student leader Jeannette Greary
converted a 1983 diesel Volvo
sedan to run entirely on used
vegetable oil. “It may smell like
french fries”, Quirin said, “but
we’re getting 25 miles to the
gallon,”
The aptly named ‘Veggie
Volvo’ has emissions drastically
lower than any regular gas or
diesel-powered auto, making it
a much more environmentally
responsible alternative. The veg
etable oil, when mixed with lye
and methanol, forms biodiesel,
a fuel whose only by-product is
glycerin and consequently emits
40 to 60 percent lower emissions
than-common pollutants such as
carbon monoxide.
“Since most restaurants pay
significant disposal fees, to have
their cooking oil periodically
removed,” Quirin said, “they are
happy to have us take it away
for free.” He noted the cost of
biodiesel is “just over 50 cents a
gallon.” Quirin explained ‘hat a
t
large restaurant will use 500 gal
lons of oil a month, 90 percent
of which can be used to make
biodiesel. With the success of
the Veggie Volvo, Quirin is now
at work on converting a smaller
Volkswagen Rabbit hoping it
will achieve 45 to 50 miles per
gallon.
More than 30 companies and
organizations, including both the
city and county of San Diego,
took part in the one-day fair,
which also held a recycled art
contest for San Diego artists.
Strange and fascinating creations
assembled entirely from recycled
products greeted fairgoers upon
arrival. A
Using materials ranging from
the commonplace: bottles, cans,
wood, stained glass, screens,
cardboard, and newspapers, to
the quirky: bicycle and car parts,
chicken and turkey bones, and
even animal hair, artists con
structed a wide range of pro
vocative pieces. One artist had
crocheted hundreds of recycled
plastic shopping bags into a large
abstract form, while another fash
ioned a life-size cactus out of
wine corks.

briefly about the content of the
film and introduced a speaker
from M.U.D.P., Hector Muro.
. Following the presentation,
a dozen students discussed the
film and related it to the present
war in Afghanistan. Many stu
dents discussed the idea that the
media and the government may
be imposing more anti-Ameri
can biases with new stories on
the anthrax wave and the possi
ble connection with terrorism.
WWII Veteran Speaks
»A rticle cont. from page 1
After seeing the devastation
of inhumanity in the concentration
camps and the destruction of
Munich, Ashe said, “My hatred
of everything German was quite
intense.” It wasn’t until decades
later that he questioned his hatred
when he saw German student tour
ists on a bus in New York. He said
he realized that he could not hate
the younger generations that had
nothing to do with WWII.
Ashe returned to the U.S. in
1952, and now lives in San Diego
with his wife, Bernice. Ashe briefly
discussed America’s current war
against terrorism, saying, “like
now, WWII was a unifying event.”
He ended his lecture, by asking the
students whether or not this gener
ation is ready for war.

truthful the government actually
is and what citizens may or may
not know. “Honestly I think it’s a
really pissed-off white guy,” said
Harris, in regards to the recent
anthrax attacks.
Students also discussed the
idea that students need to be
very critical of what they are
reading in newspapers and mag
azines and what they hear on the
radio. “You need to be critical of
what is going on around you and
now more than ever attempt to
discover the truth through other
sources,” said Muro.
One student suggested rais
ing awareness by joining groups,
both on and off college cam
puses, that work to improve
social conditions. One such
group on campus is the Progres
sive Activists’ Network, started
by Erik Roper in an attempt to
educate students about campaign
clubs, and to the San Diego
Coalition for Peace and Justice,
another organization that is cur-:
rently attempting to educate
everyone about today’s events
and to look at all sides of the
war.
According to a student, these
groups by no means wish to
demean events such as the trage
dies of Sept. 11, but want people^
to see that there are more sides
and to question all establish
ments involved, and their pur
poses for their involvements.

�Professor T ranslates A h Q u in ’s D iary
By ANN BENING
Pride Staff Writer
An earnest Chinese immi
grant, bom in Kaipnig, Guandong, made his way into the new
world with his pen and his blank
pages as his faithful friends. The
history of this Chinese immi
grant is brought to life on the
pages of Ah Quin’s Diary.
Literature and Writing Pro
fessor, Dr. Susie Cassel, who won
the Distinguished Professor of
the Year Award for 2000-2001,
took on the challenge of tran
scribing these diaries. Cassel
worked on the project with
Murray Lee, curator of ChineseAmerican History at the San
Diego Historical Society. ^
“The message these diaries
reveal,” said Cassel, “begins as
a travel ledger/book of growth
unfolding into a story of a selfmade man turned entrepreneur,
assimilating in America.”
Ah Quin’s Diary covers three
distinct phases of his life, includ
ing his life in Alaska, where he
worked as a cook for coal miners
from 1877-1879, his time in San
Francisco, where he worked as a
servant and cook for U S. mili
tary officers 1880, and his life in
San Diego. 4
In San Diego, from 1884
until 1902, Quin worked as a
recruiter for the railroad and
eventually became a successful
entrepreneur, community leader
and patriarch who bridged the
gap between the Chinese and the
white establishment of his day,
according to Cassel.
Quin immigrated to the U.S.
in 1863 when he was 15 years old.
With his knowledge of English,
which he learned through a mis
sionary school in China, Quin
began a daily record of his life for
25 years. During these years, he
produced 10 volumes and 1,200
pages of valuable information,
which he methodically devel
oped. He included the Roman
Calendar, as well as the Chinese
date, making sure he never forgot
to include his Chinese origins.
The diaries appeared to be
small enough to fit into a shirt
pocket, some on lined paper and
some on blank paper. Aspects of
the diary include copied Biblical
verses and a daily recording of
the weather, along with journal
entries. He also wrote with both
his left and right hand.
Cassel’s interest peaked when
she was told of this 19th century
diary written by a Chinese immi
grant in the English language.
She was aware that nothing like
this existed in the current AsianAmerican literary cannon. She
received permission to publish a
critical edition, in which other
researchers could access to this
work. *
“The interdisciplinary (indepth view of document to attain
valuable information) diaries
have value in a number of dif
ferent academic fields because of
the information regarding Quin
and his society at that moment in
time,” said Cassel.
Historians are interested in
confirming some of the details
concerning work on the Central
Pacific Railroad. Linguists are
interested in Quin’s grammatical
and syntactical use of the Eng
lish language and the evidence of
code switching in Chinese. Soci
ologists are interested in the life
style of a man in the Chinese
bachelor community during the
Chinese Exclusion Era of 1882.
“As editor of the critical edi
tion and one of the first inter
preters of the Work, I see more
clearly that the context in which
I situate the diary, the excerpts
I choose, the interpretations I
render here at the start, are sig
nificantly influencing the ways
others receive and respond to this

text,” said Cassel.
When asked how this project
has affected her, Cassel said,
“I think that working with Ah
Quin’s Diary has given me a
greater appreciation for the
importance and value of primary
texts. “
“If anything, it makes me see

The lecture brought three

According to Dr. Carlos von Son,
Novoa’s themes of discussion
included the context, dominant

parodic sources, and the meaning
beyond the text of Aura.
Von Son said he invited
Novoa “because of his expertise
on Mexican culture and because
it is a very multilevel novel.”
“The presentation was inter

�This Holiday Season, Don’t Stuff the Turkey
Mia’s Thai Salad
The Latest Craze in
San Marcos:
Bubble Tea
By Mia ALIO
Pride Staff Writer
LIVE, LOVE, EAT! The motto of many lives
including my own. Most of my friends and family
would describe me as an eccentric person. I have
many different tastes in fashion, film, and clothes.
But my most favorite eccentric style is that in my
choice of food. I love to eat and cook! I would like
to share an exciting new recipe for all of you who
are not afraid to experience the blend of various
foods that will have the pallet of your tongue beg
ging for more. The following recipe is my own cre
ation. It was inspired by my love of Thai cuisine.
It is a salad that contains ingredients from all of
the major food groups, with a dressing that makes
it an eccentric delight! Mia’s Thai salad calls for a
grilled boneless chicken breast, fresh greens (your
choice), carrots, bean sprouts (optional), noodles
(they don’t have to be Thai, they can even be spa
ghetti), cilantro, peanut butter, rice vinegar, milk,
lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar (or sugar substitute),
ginger, and sesame seeds (optional).
You will need:
V cup noodles
2
It is best to already have the noodles cooked
and chilled
1 1/2 cup mixed greens
1 carrot
V cup bean sprouts
2
1 boneless grilled (plain) chicken breast ( we
all know how to grill a chicken breast, right?)
Spread the fresh chopped greens on a plate, cut
the chicken in a desired fashion and lay it on top the
greens, arrange julienne (sliced thin) carrots and
bean sprouts in mounds at four sides of the plate,
build the noodles on top of the chicken and put the
dish aside to make the dressing.
2 tbsp.- peanut butter (reduced fat if your
“skinny” jeans aren’t fitting)
1 tbsp, milk
2 tbsp. rice vinegar
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. sugar ( or l a packet of sugar substi
A
tute)
Vi tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. ginger (it is best to grate a fresh ginger
root)
Briskly whisk these ingredients together in a
bowl. Taste buds always make the best judgment
in any needed altejations, so finger dip and lick to
adjust the sweetness of this dressing. After your
dressing is whisked smooth, drizzle its contents
over your plated salad. Add desired amount of fresh
chopped cilantro; also, it’s quite good if you add
chopped peanuts and/or sesame seeds.
The ingredients sound as if they don’t mix, but
to my lucky taste testing victims of the past, they
do! So give it a try, and remember - cook at your
own risk.

Bubble Tea, a small business in San Marcos,
is attracting many students from CSUSM and
local high schools. Bubble Tea is a teahouse
that offers hundreds of different drinks, includ
ing fruit slush drinks, cappuccinos, and tapioca
drinks.
I have tried all the San Diego teahouses,
but none of them can surpass the taste available
at San Marcos’ Bubble Tea, where they have
turned tea into a work of art.
The tapioca drink is unique. Many Asian
people refer to the drink as boba, which is
smooth and soft - the consistency actually
resembles soft, plastic bubbles. The tapioca
drink is a combination of gelatin and a special
type of flour with sugar. It’s very chewy and
tasty, and adds a unique twist to all the types of
drinks that Bubble Tea offers.
Although Bubble Tea is quite unique to this
area, there are many type of businesses like this
around the world. However, they originated in
several Asian countries, where tea is popular
among young people.
The San Marcos business started three
months ago, and draws about 300 customers
each week. According to owner James Wu, the
number of customers multiplies by three every
week. He also said that he has never advertised,
and that people hear of his business by word of
mouth.
The next time you want an alternative to
Starbucks and are thinking of trying something
less costly, try Bubble Tea’s variety drinks.
Most people are afraid of change, but believe
me, this type of change will open up a whole
new avenue for you.
Bubble Tea is located in front of San Marcos
High School, in the Vons shopping center.

Don’t Be Afraid of
Virginia Woolf”
By CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
The San Diego Repertory
Theatre’s choice of cast for
Edward Albee’s classic “Who’s
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”
brings a feeling of deja vu.
Just as Director Mike Nichols
cast Richard Burton against wife
Elizabeth Taylor in his 1962 film
version of the play (an event
which would ultimately lead to
their first divorce), so too do
we find Ellen Crawford playing
opposite her own husband, Mike
Genovese, in the lead roles of the
San Diego Rep’s recent incarna
tion.
For those among us who
have grown weary of the lack
luster performances of the talk
ing head actors who dominate
the televised spheres of politics
and war these days, “Virginia
Woolf’ provides a refreshingly
welcome reprieve. Albee named
his play after seeing those words
scrawled across a wall in a
graffiti-covered bathroom - the
title itself becomes a sing-song
refrain of the lead characters.
Set on a small campus in
middle America, the story
revolves around an older couple,
Martha (Crawford),* the brash,
seductive, devil-tongued daugh
ter of the local university’s presi
dent and George (Genovese), a
weary but willing history pro-
Fraternrty House, Inc.
Keepingtave Aitve
fessor who Counters Martha’s
invectives with witty retorts of
his own.
Following a liquor-soaked
faculty party, Martha invites
the handsome and eager Nick
(Peter Friedrich), a fledging
biology professor and newcom
er to the school, and his pleas
antly dim-witted wife Honey
(Carla Harting), back to her and
George’s house for an unforget
table evening of education.
In her role as the dynamo
Martha, Crawford, best known
as Nurse Lydia Wright from
TV’s “ER”, exudes energy and
vigor, whether snarling menac
ingly at George or sensually coo
ing at Nick. She does not toss
any line away but instead plumbs
the subtleties in the depths of
Martha’s persona.
Genovese, having stepped up
as George late in the game after
a bicycle accident displaced the
original actor, does an admirable
job toeing the fine line between
love and hate that seems to char
acterize George’s marriage to
Martha. The air often bristles
with electricity between the two
as their rapid-fire jabs move the
play quickly along.
George and Martha, married
for 23 years, reveal the complex
ities and vagaries inherent in a
long-term relationship. On the
surface, their remarks to each
other are coyly antagonist, care
fully constructed for maximum
damage, at tirfies hurtful. Yet
beneath that barbed veneer, their
love for one another is evident.
Their words carry the weight of
dreams unrealized, each holding
the other responsible, but know
ing ultimately they have found
their mate.
In her understated treatment
of the tipsy and blissfully igno
rant Honey, UCSD graduate
Carla Harting provides a per
petual comic backdrop to the
tension of Martha and George.
Her open-mouthed looks of dis
belief and awe create a hilarious
vision of a drunken woman we
all have known.
While Martha toys with the
jocular Nick, who hopes to curry
favor with the president’s daugh
ter, George plots his next move
in ‘the game’ with no help from
the comically inept (and increas
ingly drunken) Honey. As night
slowly turns to day, the char
acters reveal more about them
selves and more about the human
condition. Out in the audience we
learn about love, relationships,
life. And you can’t get that on
CNN.

For about an hour and a half,
“The Panama Deception,” a doc
umentary film, showed students
several sides of the invasion of
Panama by United States troops
at midnight of Dec. 20,1989.
What students learned about
was more than just three warfilled days in history. The
students that attended the film
learned that the attack also
served to test new stealth fight
ers and laser-guided missiles as
preparation for future wars, like
the Gulf War that began in 1991.
They also saw that there are
still questions to this day in
regards to exactly why it hap
pened and why the government
has supposedly lied about the
major details and kept them
from the Amer-
ican
people.
T he
supposed
reasoning
behind the
attack was
to uphold
the safety of Americans by
attempting to capture dictator
Manuel Noriega. The U.S. media
portrayed Noriega as a drug traf
ficker and a forceful and oppres
sive ruler. In 1989, the U.S.
government claimed it was pro
tecting the people of Panama
from him.
However, the film also
showed that the presence of our
military in the country was more
about maintaining control over
the Panama Canal and to force
our government upon them.
According to a 1903 treaty,
the U.S. was supposed to have
vacated all military bases in
the country, and Panama was
supposed to regain control ,of
the Canal by 2000. The treaty
changed after the 1989 invasion
to allow the U.S. government
more freedom in Panama.
According to the movie,
American troops invaded lowerclass communities like El Churjllo, Colon and San Miguelito
because ‘
they were less likely to
have any way of retaliating.
From some of the citizens’
perspective, the attack was unex
pected, uncalled for, and a highly
illegal act of genocide. They had
no idea why this was happening
to them, and many of them were
forced out of their homes by
troops, sent to the Balboa con
centration camp, and detained.
Eyewitnesses have made
claims that innocent citizens,
many of them men from the ages
of 15 to 22, were taken to mass
graves and executed. According
to other eyewitnesses, the U.S.
military at the front entrance of
the camp gunned down about
eight citizens. The number of
deaths from the Panama attack is
still thought to be anywhere from
2,500 to 4,000. The government
and media claimed only 2 5 0
casualties to
American
people.
Others that had been
detained were given refugee
numbers and placed under
intense interrogation. The mili
tary also took control of hospi
tals and morgues, and doctors
were detained.
Troops controlled access to
the media, and press pools were
only granted access to military
bases four hours following the
attack. “It is worse now, now the
media is self-censoring,” com
plained one student during the
discussion after the film.
In the film, photojournalist
Julio Guerra .managed to infil
trate the barricades to other sites
to capture some of the footage
that is available today. Manuel
Becker was a cameraman who
had been stopped by troops,
forced to hand over his tapes,
and arrested until the bombing
was over. Other media personnel
were shot and killed.
In the film, new suggestions
from the filmmakers forced stu
dents to question the attack and
the leaders of the countries.

�Spanish Theatre Students
Perform in ProfessorWritten Play,
“Dona Criba”
By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Opinion Editor
Since the fall semester
began, the students of Dr. Carlos
von Son’s Spanish theatre class,
Viva el Teatro' have been busy
producing and rehearsing for an
original theater production titled
“Dona Criba.” The play tells the
fictional story of Dona Criba, a
telephone operator who serves
as the center “nerve” of a small
town in central Mexico during
the early 1980s.
The play is entirely in Span
ish and was written by von Son.
“This play is a metaphor for me,
the playwright, and contains ele
ments of social criticism through
comedy,” said von Son.
To accommodate non-Span
ish speakers in the audience,
the students will provide writ
ten translations, as well as a
recorded narrative in English,
which some of the audience may
hear using headphones.
Students have also been
working to raise money to fund
the costs for costumes, setting
construction, and other produc
tion costs. For many of the stu
dents, this is the first time they
will act in front of a live audi
ence.
Lydia Contreras, a Spanish
major cast in the role of Prudencia, said, “I hope that we will
do a good job, because I feel a
little rushed. But I know we will
do well and that we will have a
full house on both nights of the
play”
The students will perform
“Dona Criba” Thursday, Dec. 7
and Friday, Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. at
the Visual and Performing Arts
Annex on La Moree Road. The
play is free and open to the
public.

Pride Opinion Editor
With only four other people
in the theatre (not including two
friends and myself) it seems
that “Riding in Cars with Boys”
was not the best choice out of
the films we could have sj&
en.
However, my friend Kelly raved
about it for days and insisted on
taking us with her for her second
look at the film.
Based on the autobiography
with the same^itle, “Riding in
Cars with Boys,” stars Drew
Barrymore. Barrymore’s perfor
mance immediately drew me
into the film (no pun intended),
proving that she is awesome at
her craft, but far too often takes
on crummy roles.
Barrymore plays Beverly,
who as a teenager, dreams of
becoming a writer (. .. this is
part of why I liked the film so
much) only to find her dreams
tom apart by an accidental preg
nancy. (The baby was conceived
in the backseat of her boyfriend’s
car). As she grows up and is
somewhat raised by her son,
she tries to come to terms with
her life and how to become a
mother.
The film begins with a look
at Barrymore at age 35 and her
20-year-old son, and then flashes
back to her in eighth grade (in
the 1960s). It then follows her
life up through her son’s eighth
birthday. Truthfully, there is
one hole in the plot: as the film
switches back and forth from
past to present, we find out that
Beverly has finally succeeded
as a writer, and has written an
autobiography. The problem is
that audience never actually sees
Barrymore’s character working
on her book, nor do we learn
what happened with her son from
age eight to age 20.
Directed by Penny Marshall,
“Riding in Cars with Boys” is
labeled as a comedy. Still, Mar
shall, who is an expert in conveyinghuman emotions in her films,
carefully crafted a delicate bal
ance between comedyand trag
edy. The film will leave viewers
with laughter to the point of a
side ache and tears.
Viewer Hooked
on Fox’s “24”
Dennis Haysbert stars as Senator Palmer in “24, '-(Courtesy Photo/Fox)
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
What can be done in the
space of 24 hours? For one show,
it will take an entire season to
find out. “24” premiered on Fox
last Tuesday. The title is indic
ative of the major plot device
for each show; it’s shot in real
time, one hour of 24 each Tues
day night.
The idea behind “24” was
simple; take a terrorist squad and
focus on the events that unfold
over the course of a 24-hour
period. The excitement picks up
early in the show, as we are
introduced to the main charac
ters, both the good guys and bad
guys.
However, the most appeal
ing character is good guy Kiefer
Sutherland as lead, Jack Bauer.
Bauer is a family man dealing
with Kimberly’s (his teenage
daughter) rebellion and the
recent restoration (they had been
separated) of his marriage to
Teri (Leslie Hope of the upcom
ing film, “Dragonfly”),
At work, Bauer struggles
with his ex-affair Nina Myers
(Sarah Clarke of “Ed”) and the
threat of terrorist attack (most
recently, the threat against Sen
ator David Palmer, a presiden
tial candidate in Los Angeles.)
Dennis Haysbert, best
known for his mad science cre
ator role in “Now and Again”,
plays Palmer. Haysbert has been
in countless films and is extraor
dinarily gifted and a pleasure to
watch on the screen. The senator
is hardly seen the first hour but
is presented as a good guy
with his wife by his side. He
works hard with his speech
writer at midnight to put together
the next day’s words, but then
receives a mysterious phone call.
A reporter asks him something
that outrages him, but when,
asked by his wife, he refuses to
tell. What is it that he is hiding
and how does it tie into the ter
rorist plot?
In the first show, Suther
land’s character manages to play
chess with his daughter (played
by Elisha Cuthbert of Nick
elodeon’s “Are You Afraid of
the Dark”), catches her running
away, goes into work, reveals
that he was having an affair,
shoots a man with a tranquilizer
gun, calls his wife a few times,
and solves part of a crime com
mitted by a CIA co-worker. Not
bad for one hour. Nevertheless,
can the shows creators keep up
the pace or will interest begin to
wane somewhere in the twelfth
hour?
Many of the shots were
grainy and in odd angles to show
a more realistic look, while cam
eras shot the same scene from
two to .four angles to give the
audience the upper hand. But
Television
REVIEW
will the realistic look continue?
How realistic will it seem when
Bauer is up for 24 hours and still
looks refreshed? Will Suther
land want to spend half a season
looking haggard? Will one show
be the “nap show” where we
watch Sutherland and his wife in
slumber? Can the realistic look
go too far? Will it end up as
annoying as “Survivor?”
Meanwhile, I await tonight’s
second show, knowing that no
matter what the answers to my
many questions, I am hooked
and am sure you will be if you
watch.
Why am I hobked? For the
same reason the shows’ premiere
was postponed until now. The
opening sequence showed twin
towers in Asia, where a terror
ist is planning an assassination
plot on the first black presiden
tial candidate in America. Ter*
rorism and twin towers as your
opening sequence is quite risky
for a show, but “24” risks even
more. JVith a plane explosion
in the last ten minutes of the
show, the appeal for many Amer
icans may have been lost. How
ever, the smart ones will stick
around.
If you want to find out more,
the web site, www.fox.com/24
sticks •with the format of the tv
show and allows viewers a way
to interact with the characters
and the CIA files. Information
on the characters, plot and back
ground can be found; for exam
ple, on the CIA files link: “What

“24” can be seen on Fox on
Tuesdays at 9 p.m.

Student Outraged About Change
in Payment Plan
Served
By CONSTANCE CHUA
Pride Staff Writer
Picture courtesy o f Department Affairs
Dear Veterans,
It is not often enough that we come together
To say our thanks to each of you,
So it is with great respect that I address this letter:
Thank you for your courage:
For courage is not the opposite of fear,
Courage is taking action despite fear.
Thank you for your internal struggles:
The battle between heart and mind...
Mind desiring the best for our nation, heart desiring peace.
Thank you for our freedom:
I cannot imagine the nightmares many of you have lived,
So I can freely live the American Dream.
We owe you more than a day of celebration,
We owe you more than a day of remembrance,
We owe you a lifetime of humility.
Sincerely, Safe and Free

Editors’ Note: The needed information was sent to the pride e-mail
by Rick Moore and then forwarded
to Constance Chua three weeks
ago.
This semester I encountered
multiple problems with the new
payment plan option that our
school executed. I have encoun
tered and interviewed some people
who had experienced the same
grief and stress that I have.
However this semester, the com
mittee responsible for the payment
plan implementation has made yet
another amendment to the pre
viously set payment option plan;
four weeks ago, The Pride was
informed of the new changes.
I was very curious about the
changes the administration was
going to make, so I decided to
take on an article, hoping to share
this new information to all of the
students here at CSUSM. How
ever on Oct. 16 when I spoke to
Paul Tiglao, an employee in the
Cashier’s Office, regarding these
changes, he told me that he knew
Response to “Humanitarian Aid Kills”
I would like to start out by saying
that decreasing the world’s population
will not increase our food supply..
We already have more than enough
food to feed every single person on
this planet comfortably. The problem
is not scarcity of food, but how the
food is being distributed. The global
economy has one primary motive, and
that is profit. Many countries cannot
increase their food supply because
of inefficient ownership of resources.
There are centralized political author
ities that have control over resources
like food. The use and production of
these resources are taken out of the
hands of the local people and into the
hands of these authorities.
World ^hunger also comes from
impersonal market forces. The market
demand for export crops increases to
satisfy the needs of far-off consum
ers, rather than the local needs. For
example, it is more lucrative to pro
duce chocolate than to produce grains
in a country that depends economi
cally on exports.
An article from Food First called
“The Myth - Scarcity, The Reality There is Enough Food,” goes into great
detail about our global food supply.

The authors report that, “according to
the Food and Agriculture Organiza
tion of the United Nations, gains in
food production since 1950 have kept
ahead of population growth in every
region except Africa. The American
Association for the Advancement of
Science found in a 1997 study that 78
percent of all malnourished children
under five in the developing world live
in countries with food surpluses.” In
Africa, the food producers are cut out
of the economic decisions affecting
their survival. As far as supplying aid
to countries, it does come at a price.
A lot of aid programs are not free, the
government pays for it, or there are
conditions that the countries have to
meet in order to receive aid.
In conclusion, it really does not
make sense to correlate food consump
tion with increased populations. The
argument that, with increased popula
tions the food supply decreases, does
not hold true. In developed countries
we see a decrease in birth rates and
with increased resources we see the
opposite, more deaths than birth rates.
Sincerely,
Marianna Davis

the changes, but refused to tell
me what they were because Rick
Moore, of External Affairs, had to
finalize everything.
Tiglao also said, “Call me back
sometime next week. Maybe Rick
Moore is done reviewing it, and
then I can give you the informa
tion.” And I responded, “Sure, but
keep in mind some students need
to be informed of the new pay
ment plan because the registration
is fairly soon.” And Mr. Tiglao
responded, “Sure, but I cannot tell
you anything because Mr. Moore
has to take a look at the changes
first, o.k.”
I e-mailed Rick Moore that
week, but received no response
from him either.
I don’t know about you guys,
but it seems to me that the school
administration could care less
about the paying customers they
have, the students. As a student
here, I have the right to know about
these changes whether I write for
The Pride or not. But the admin
istration that is involved in these
changes is certainly just taking its
sweet time and refusing to provide
pertinent information for everyone
else.
Last week our schedule was
available at the bookstore, so pay
attention to your payment plan
changes. Do you think it’s much
better than last semester? Say
something - don’t just look at it
and ignore the problem.
I have been attending this uni
versity since 1997, and I was in
most of your shoes thinking that I
would never have any problems but I did this semester.
We need to be united and peti
tion to get a system that can take
care of us. We negd to have an
ombudsman, who will be our medi
ator between the school system
and ourselves, or simply a group
of students that will fight for our
rights as students and paying cus
tomers.
The administration needs to
communicate properly so that it
can better serve us. Sure, we under
stand that our school is on its
way to becoming more diverse and
expanding the institution to pro
vide excellence in our education,
but do it the right way with little
or no grief to the students. The
bottom line is to pay close atten

Opinion
Reviewing the PC
(Pathetically Correct) Movement
By JAMES NEWELL
Staff Writer
Recently, a letter ran in
the student newspaper that
accentuated the horribly
offensive “Battle of the
Sexes;” it surprised me how
deeply affective The Pride
can be to readers.
I didn’t realize the rami
fications of such tawdry fun
until I was driving down
the 78 freeway, idly thinking
(yes, I can do two things at
once). I wondered why and
how a column in the opinion
(we all have one) page could
cause such distress in some
readers, when I came to a
red light. I apologize; I mean
a stoplight - I don’t want
to bring color into this. No,
actually let’s just call it a traf
fic light because stop would
exclude the “go” component,
and I don’t want to offend
anyone (Oh, and let me apolo
gize if my anthropomorphiz

Anyway, back to the issue
concerning the “Battle of the
Sexes,” which brings me to
the question of audience.
“Writers work, I suspect,

Pride Staff Writer
In an attempt to find and
create well-rounded student lead
ers on campus, the Office of Stu
dent and Residential Life has
created the Emerging Leaders
Program. The ELP is designed to
help first-time freshman explore
their individual capabilities and
prepare them for leadership posi
tions on campus and in the
community. Hopeful leaders are
taught that, through exploring
self-definition and personal
development strategies, they can
gain the knowledge and insight
that will carry them as leaders
throughout the rest of their lives.
The program is co-coordinated by Jonathan Poullard, dean
of students, and Cara Appel-Silbaugh, coordinator of New Stu
dent Programs and Greek Life.
The voluntary program, in its
first year, is offered to freshman
and meets in 2-hour sessions, 12
weeks out of the semester. ELP
has 12 members.
Poullard describes the focus
of the program as an effort to
“move students from the con
sciousness of the selfto global cit
izenship, while maintaining the
core values of the institution.
We’re using the seven C’s leader
ship model, based on a program
developed by colleagues across
the nation and which runs out
of UCLA.” Both facilitators have
taught similar classes; Poullard
at Occidental College and Penn
State, and Silbaugh at Pitt and
Bowling Green University.
ELP freshman engage in
leadership activities and are

Surf Team Arises
Last Game of the
Season Cancelled
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
On Sunday, Nov. 4, the last game
of the season for the CSUSM men’s
soccer team was cancelled by USC.
The game was to take place at USC.
“We drove all the way there, but the
USC team never showed up,” said
Coach Khalid Al-shafie.
“The game did not take place due
to the USC’s coach’s decision to
cancel the game because o f incli
mate weather.” Brad Schmidt, Club
Services Technician for Associated
Students Inc., confirmed that the
game was cancelled because of the
rainy weather.
However, neither Cal State San
Marcos nor Al-shafie was ndtified
about the cancellation. “I don’t
know what happened, said Al-shafie.
“They didn’t call...” Schmidt, who
was at a conference that Sunday
and was not notified about the can
cellation, said, “The USC coach
neglected to contact anyone from
Soccer players at CSUSM\ (Courtesy Photo/Sports Dept)
our school about this ... The game
was confirmed by me the Thursday
before I left town [the week of the
scheduled game}.”
Schmidt also added that one of the
reasons that USC failed to contact
CSUSM about the cancellation may
have been USC’s new coach, who is
both a-student and a player. “It was
an unfortunate occurrence because
our CSUSM soccer team was ready
to play,” 'said Schmidt. “It could
have concluded the season as a win
ning one at 5-4-1 instead of 4-4-1.”
Schmidt said he believed the soccer
team’s season was successful. “They
won four hard battles and lost two
by the slightest of margins against
some pretty decent collegiate com
petition,” said Schmidt.
Al-shafie added, “We are very
excited about our prospects going
into next year with a high number of
returning players, and the continued
support of ASL”
Schmidt projects that the team’s
final, overall placement will be third
out of the five or six teams in the
league. The official league standings
were not available by press time.

Cal State San Marcos’, surf team placed fourth out
of 25 teams in the National Scholastic Surfing Associ
ation’s Southwest Conference at the Ventura C Street
Pipes. In the event, held Oct. 28, CSUSM’s Julie Russel,
a shortboarder, placed fourth for the college women’s
division, and Dustin Franks placed fifth in the longboard. The team includes team captain Chris Darrah,
shortboarders Scott Chebegia, Colin Hanel,* Dave Kincannon, Ryan Leonardy, Ryan McHenry, and bodyboarder Chris Erdos.
The team held tryouts Oct. 13 at the Carlsbad State
Beach. The tryouts attracted a total of 14 students, and
nine surfers were chosen. Currently the team practices
by playing scrimmages against Miracosta College.
Competition is nothing new to the majority of the
members. “We are very fortunate to have a teafti headed
by players who have been in several NSSA competi
tions,” said Professor Amber Puha of the mathematics
department. Puha created the team with the help of
Associated Students, Inc. this past summer.
As soon as the team gets a larger budget, Puha said
she will organize a second team that will serve as a
developmental program to foster new surfing talent. Stu*
dent Erik Runsvold will be the captain of that team,
and the women’s shortboarder will be Jamie Tomei, who
placed second in the tryouts.
The actual competitions are similar to track and
field because both have “heats.” One heat includes six
players, and only three may advance to the next round.
Each player has 15 minutes to catch 12 waves, and the
top three scores are used for final scoring.
Scoring is subjective and will include both the indi
vidual and team score. An athlete can either advance
or not, without penalizing the team. The team receives
points based on the placement of the athlete.
The person in first place receives six points; second
place receives five points, and so on.. In CSUSM’s com:
petition at the Ventura Street Pipes, the team earned 96
points. The first-place team, UC Santa Barbara, earned
162 points.
CSUSM’s next surf competitions will be held at
Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Ventura, and the
next NSSA college event wilLbe held Dec. 22 at Black’s
Beach.
Most of the team’s competitions have taken place at
local beaches. “If they wanted to travel to some place
like Costa Rica, as a surf club, they could through fund
raisers, support and enthusiasm,” said Puha.
Those who would like more information about
the surf team are asked to contact Amber Puha at
apuha@csusm.edu.

Social justice at the forefront
ASI community centers promote inclusion, integration
B Y K ATUN SWEENEY
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
When you give passionate
leaders a place where they
can share their thoughts and
initiate their dreams into action, you spark a revolution.
At CSUSM, students, faculty and staff have worked
together to create a campus that is not only serving
students in the classroom,
but through various educational programs as well.
The development of programs and spaces dedicated
to the exploration and understanding of socialjustice
has been at the forefront of
the university's mission to
build a diverse campus. One
of the most successful routes
towards educating students
has been through the Social
Justice Centers. Individually
known as the Gender Equity Center, Pride Center and
Cross Cultural Center, these
three spaces have been pivotal in creating student leaders and promoting awareness
of significant social issues.
White Student Life &
Leadership (SLL) oversees
the Cross Cultural Center,
the Gender Equity Center
and Pride. Center are provided through Associated
Students Inc. (ASI). The
Common misconception in
the past has been that all
three centers were through
either SLL or ASI, due to
their location and umbrella

ties and means of outreach.
"Things are going to be
bigger and better this year.
The more we give, the more
students will follow their
dreams," Aiello-Hauser said.
One of the reasons that
the Gender Equity and Pride
Centers have teamed up is
to refocus their images and
encourage students from all
backgrounds to explore what
each group has to offer. The
Pride Center is not geared
only towards LGBTQA
students and the Gender
Equity Center is not solely
for students that identify as
feminists or seek to combat
injustice. By changing their
title to highlight 'community,'Aiello-Hauser hopes that
it will make all students feel
more comfortable to walk
in, open up to their peers
and faculty, ask questions,
and learn about all sides and
opinions of social justice.
With a conjoining door
that makes it easy for students to walk in between
the two, the ASI Community Centers students that are
interested in both centers
can easily walk next door
to explore both options. Aiello-Hauser expressed that
each student that walks into
the centers are at different
phases of their journey, and
that his job is to encourage them to explore and
learn as much as they can.
"Everyone's path may be
different, and yours may not
be the same as mine. We are
just supporting and offering
as many paths and opportunities to grow in understanding of social justice as possible," Aiello-Hauser said.
The ASI Community
Centers have also integrated in various other organizations to their projects, partnering up notably
with the Greek Leadership
Council and Student Health
and Counseling Services.
Their goal is t o create
an environment that is not
only inclusive of the students that spend time in
the Community Centers but
also to connect the campus
as a whole so that CSUSM
functions as one unit rather
than a collection of groups
separate from one another.

term of Social Justice Centers. While they all share
similar goals, each of the
Social Justice Centers is its
own entity, equipped with
different student employees, identities and goals.
In an effort to represent
themselves as ASI organizations and highlight the
changes to their structure
the Gender Equity Center
and Pride Center have rebranded themselves as the
ASI Community Centers.
The two groups, which previously operated under the
leadership of two separate
program directors, have
refogused so that the they
function more as a team
rather than completely separate from one another.
The Pride Center and
Gender Equity Center are
now under the leadership
of Robert Aiello-Hauser,
director of ASI Community Centers, and Kenyatta
Parker, coordinator of ASI
Community Centers. The
goal in combining the two
centers under one title is not
to extinguish the separate
identities of each center,
but rather to encourage students from both groups to
work together. The title ASI
Community Centers will be
used to refer simultaneously
to both centers, but the Gender Equity and Pride Centers will still keep their individual names to highlight
their differences in priori-

will be offered in the upcoming spring semester.
Although much debate
exists in the realm of academia on whether or not the
series maintains substantial
educational value, Professor
Linda Pershing has decided to share with the university her professional opinion on the series. She will
be teaching a class called
Harry Potter Folklore and
Culture (ID 370), which
will immerse 120 students
deeper in the magic of J.K.
Rowling's books. Professor
Pershing decided to create
the course for a variety of
reasons.
"I found [the books] fascinating in many ways: as
a scholar and instructor of
folklore and culture, I love
the books for their critical
commentary on systems of
social hierarchy," Pershing
said.
This course will bring to
surface the various motifs
and themes that are found in
the beloved series. Students
will learn of the mythology
and folklore that J.K, Rowling has utilized, examine the
culture of the magical world
she has created and explore
the various social issues that
appear throughout the seven
novels.
"These include major life
issues, such as the sanctity
of life and coming to terms
with death (particularly the
death of loved ones), social
hierarchies of power and
privilege and the injustice
of these, courage and stepping up to take action in the
face of injustice and evil, the
value of friendship, and the
shortcomings of bureaucracies and social institutions,"
Pershing said.
The H P. course will be
educational, immersive and
entertaining. Students will
begin the journey with their
own sorting ceremony. Each
student will be assigned
to one of the four houses
(Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff or Raveclaw) based
on a personality exam.
The students will then be
transported to the world of
"Harry Potter" with a House
Prefect, commonly referred
to as a teacher's assistant, to
guide them through various
activities and projects, making Harry's magical world
their own.
"We will read all seven
novels and learn to analyze,
discuss and apply the principle concepts that appear in
each novel, making the connections between the magical realm of Harry Potter
and our own world. We're
planning lots of discussion,
interaction, and participatory
activities to make the course
interesting and rewarding.
Some of the topics we'll cover include how race, gender,
social stratification, and economic class shape Harry Potter's world," Pershing said.
Rest assured that with this
class you would be getting a
truly educational experience.
Thorough background research has been done leading up to the course, both by
Professor Pershing and her
"Head Girls," Amanda Lenox and Lauren Hammond.
This includes numerous academic articles and books that
focus specifically on the topics that will be discussed in
the class as well as research
gathered by Pershing personally, directly from numerous
locations in England and
Scotland that are important
to the "Harry Potter" books
and films.
Six CSUSM students that
had helped with the original
research have been awarded
the opportunity to present
their findings at the annual
American Folklore Society
Conference this October.
This class will have much
to offer students, whether
they are a die-hard "Harry
Potter" fan or someone who
is just getting into the series
and wants to explore the
books more in depth.
It will be both fun and educational to delve deeper into
the cultural phenomenon that
is "Harry Potter" and expand
students' perceptions of the
books in an exciting environment.
A few students who are
very familiar with the series
can even get involved in assisting with the course outline by contacting Pershing

K inesiology majors club provides f ood donations t o local aid organizations
B Y KATLIN SWEENEY
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
When students take what
they learn in the classroom
and use it to better their
community, the result is
transformational education.
Last year, CSUSM's
Kinesiology Majors Club
teamed up with Kinesiology
Service Learning Students,
Donate Don't Dump and
North County Community Services Food Bank to
change the North County
aj;ea for the better. Over
the span of 12 food distributions, the collaborative
efforts of these groups resulted in the distribution
of 36,000 pounds of food
to students, staff and members of the community that
needed it.
The Kinesiology Major's
Club embraced reduction
of student hunger as one of
their biggest goals after their
adviser, Professor Laura de
Ghetaldi, got in contact
with Donate Don't Dump.
De Ghetaldi learned about
the organization at the San
Diego Film Festival when
she watched "One in Seven,
the New Face of Hunger,"
a documentary by UCLA
freshman Camille Posard.
Inspiration ran in the family for Posard, spreading
to Posard's younger sister,
high school sophomore
Gabrielle, to create Donate Don't Dump, which
works with grocers and
food companies to supply
food to those in need rather
than having it go to waste..
The Kinesiology Majors
Club then teamed up with
pastors Daniel and Theresa
Jones of Summit Church to
host the food distributions
across from campus, a location that was not only convenient to students but all
members of the community.
. At each food distribution,
anywhere from 10 to 20 students, some who are also
interns with Donate Don't
Dump, volunteer their time
to supply attendees with
approximately 20 pounds
of free fruits and vegetables. In one hour, anywhere
from 5,000 to 6,000 pounds
of food are passed out.
But the true spirit of
teamwork and community is
also demonstrated through
the fact that distributing this
food comes at absolutely
no cost to the Kinesiology
Club. The only cost that is
required for the process to
run smoothly is a total of
$50 for the trucks to bring
the food, a fee which Summit Church and Donate
Don't Dump split so that
the distributions do not require the financial support
of the Kinesiology Club.
"We've gotten tremendous support from various
individuals, and people like
our Club President Amy
Clark, Vice President Ross
Edmunds, last year's Lead
Intern Curtis Bovee and last
year's President Junemy
Pantig all worked so hard
to make these distributions
happen. And our partnerships with the North County
Food Bank, Donate Don't
Dump and all of the various groups involved have
all just been great working
relationships to help the
community. It just shows
how people can work together with that commonality of wanting to «help
others," de Ghetaldi said.
This past year, the Kinesiology Club enjoyed honors
such as the Office of Community Service Learning
Award for Student Group of
the Year, two nominations
and five received individual
student leadership awards, a
Tukwut Organization of the
Year nomination, recognition as an official ASI Club
on campus and a total of
14,850 hours of internship
hours completed by 162
students. In collaboration
with Donate Don't Dump,
the Kinesiology Club also
received President Obama's
Volunteer Service Award.
"I don't know who gets
more out of this, the people who. need help or the
ones giving the help. In a
way, it's a selfish thing to
give back because it makes

Student veterans remember Sept. 11
B YAUSONSEAGLE
• * StAFrWRlTER > >
Sept. 11 is a day that
brings back harsh memories, especially on a campus considered as veteran-friendly as CSUSM.
Based on figures released in late August
from the Office of Communications, CSUSM is
home to approximately
900 students that identify
themselves as a veteran,
service member or military dependent.
Many of these student
veterans remember the
day vividly and wanted to
share the ways in which
Sept. 11 resonated with
them.
An "8th grader at the
time, David Acosta remembers being sick from
school that fateful day
and watching the news at
his home in Fallbrook.
He was familiar with
New York and witnessing
something so disturbing
made him question humanity.
"Seeing people jump
from the towers was crazy. I already wanted to join
the military, but that really
instilled the idea," Acosta
said.
Meanwhile on the other
side of the world, Gregg.
Snow was working as
a contractor in Tokyo
when one of his Japanese
co-workers called him up,
frantically trying to tell
him what had happened.
Snow thought that what
he was seeing was a movie
rather than real events. He
then called another friend
in Japan to tell him about
what happened and they
stayed up all night watch-

ing the news.
Snow was supposed to fly
back to the U.S. the next day,
but instead had to go to the
Embassy and was unable to
fly home until a week later.
He had been out of the military for a while at the time,
but after the attack he contemplated re-enlisting.
Nicholas Ashley was also
out of the country on Sept. 11.
He was living in Indonesia in
the middle of a large Muslim
population.
He felt very uncomfortable
due to the circumstances and
began telling people he was
Canadian to avoid talking
about the attack.
He was also in disbelief
when he saw on TV what

FEATURES EDITOR
Whether students want to
lose those freshmen 15 or are
just looking for a way to stay
healthy this semester, fitness
classes may be the perfect
way to achieve their goals.
The Clarke recently posted
their updated schedule for
their unique and exciting
fitness classes that will be
available throughout the fall
semester. With seven different options to choose from,
students are sure to find a
class thatfitstheir needs and
their schedule. So how does
the Campus Recreation Department select which classes
make the cut?
"We try to keep [the classes] that are most popular,"
Sonya Starr-Mclin, the Administrative Coordinator of
Campus Recreation^ said.
Among the list of most
popular classes are Ashtanga Yoga and Indoor Cycling. These low-impact
activities can help improve
your strength and flexibility. Ashtanga Yoga is offered
on Tuesdays and Thursdays
during U-hour, while Indoor
Cycling is held on Mondays
from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. as well
as Friday during U-hour.
For anyone interested in a
high-intensity activity that
will exercise your entire
body, then Boot Camp may
be the perfect opportunity.
The Campus Recreation flyer explains that the course
provides "a variety of intense
group intervals^ over a one
hour period of time."
Another way to fight the
boredom of going to the gym
every day but still receiving a total body workout is
through Total Fit. The class
is promoted by Campus Recreation to "tone and tighten
your entire body.. .leaving
you with a complete feeling
of satisfaction and balance."
Boot Camp and Total Fit
are offered on Wednesday
at 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. and
Monday at 5:15 p.m. to 6:15
p.m., respectively.

Campus Filipino club
welcomes new members
B Y MARGERY URIL
STAFF WRITER
Students that are interested in learning about a new
culture, playing games,
meeting new people and
having fun should join Kamalayan Alliance (KA).
According to their website, KA spreads knowledge
and awareness about Filipino and Filipino-American history and culture at
CSUSM. Five students
founded the club in the
summer of2005. Now eight
years later, the amount of
members has almost tripled.
The name Kamalayan,
which in Tagalog means
'consciousness' and Alliance, which refers to a
group of people striving to
build a community, seeks
to introduce Filipino culture
to students from all backgrounds.
The group also educates
students on campus with
events that introduce differenf aspects of the Filipino
culture.
One of the biggest events
the group had last year was
the "K A goes to CSU Fullerton," where schools throughout California partake in
the biggest Filipino college
event. One of the highlights
of this event is the Friendship Games, which demonstrates Spirit, Pride, Unity
and Friendship (SPUF). In
the spring, there was the
"Filipino Cultural Showcase" (PCS) where KA members performed a play about
Filipino Culture.

at the same time is Taekwondo. Offered from 5:15 p.m.
to 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday
evenings, this fitness class
welcomes beginners since no
prior experience in the sport
is required.
If you're looking for a more
light-hearted way to burn
a few extra calories, then
laughing along while taking
Laughter Yoga or dancing
to the beat of Latin music
during Zumba may be just
for you.
Allfitnessclasses are meant
to provide a non-intimidating environment, as most of
them are often adaptable for
allfitnesslevels. Also important to this environment are
the instructors.
"All of our instructors
are great," Starr-Mclin said.
"Most of our instructors are
students here on campus."
One of the best aspects of
these seven unique fitness
classes is that every single
one is free for registered
students and available for a
small fee to faculty and staff.
To participate, students
simply need a free membership to TheClarke gym, since
the fee to use it is already included in most matriculated
students' university registration fees when they pay tuition. No other sign-up forms
are required and students can
attend the classes that suit
their needs whenever they
choose.
Most classes do not begin
until the week of Sept. 16
and locations for each class
vary from The Clarke gym,
the University Village Apartments (UVA) and the University Commons building
depending on the activity.
"If [students] haven't tried
a fitness class, they should,"
Starr-Mclin said.
The Campus Recreation
Department also offers personal training and intramural sports at an extra cost.

CSUSM offers many opportunities for students to
study abroad and explore
a number of different languages and cultures.
Due of thè options that is
being offered over the summer is traveling to Spain.
Students like Neil French
have benefitted tremendously from the program
and highly recommend it.
"If you're looking to learn
another language this is the
way to go. I learned more
from one month in Spain
than I did in six semesters in the United States,"
French said, *
Neil, along Svith approximately 20 CSUSM students
and many other students
from around the world, had
the. opportunity to study at
the University of Valladolid.
The courses they attended
ranged from beginning to
advanced Spanish, as well
as Spanish culture and litr
erature. Students spent four
hours a day in classes, Monday through Friday, for four
weeks, t hough the coursework was intense and the
students learned much more
than just what was taught in
the classrooms.
"The experience of going
abroad was one that I honestly can't capture into words,"
Jordan Taylor said. "To be so
outside the bubble I thought
was my comfort zone and
step into a whole new world
was as if I had gone from
black and white to color. I
truly believe going to a new
country is the best way to invest your time."
Besides the classes, students also had the opportunity to take excursions to nearby cities. Since Valladolid is
well situated just a couple of
hours northwest of Madrid in
the Castilla y Leon region,
students were able to visit
Madrid, Segovia and Salamanca. The professors from
the university provided tours
of the cities with much information about the history and
culture, and students were
also able to use their free
time in the cities exploring
castles, museums and cathedrals.
Some students, like Karen
Mascarinas, have transferred
to other countries like the
UK through Study Abroad,
but reflect on Spain as a
life-changing experience.
"I grew so much as an
individual while learning
Spanish in Spain. I realized
that I was a stronger person
who was capable of things I
would have never discovered
before. It's not all about the
fun stuff [...] it's about finding yourself and where you
see yourself in this world,"
said Mascarinas.
Students who are interested in studying Spanish in
Spain in the summer of 2014
should stop by the Office of
Global Education in Craven

abroad advisor, Tiffany
Gabbard.

Making a decision about gluten-free dieting

You ' ve probably heard
about the increasing number of people jumping o n
the bandwagon of becoming
gluten-free.
You may also be noticing
more gluten-free products in
stores. What you are probably not hearing is that there
are some important things to
consider before eliminating
foods with gluten from your
diet.
Many people state that
they feel healthier after going gluten-free. Some individuals feel it may even be
the answer to weight loss,
clearer skin and more energy.
Gluten is a protein complex that is most commonly
found in wheat, barley, rye
and triticale. It gives dough
its elasticity and helps to
keep its shape.
The main reason someone would want to consume
a gluten-free diet is to help
treat the symptoms of celiac disease. Gluten causes
inflammation to the small
intestine of those with the
disease.
This can eventually damage the lining of the small
intestine and prevent the absorption of certain nutrients,

Conveniently located next
to CSUSM are countless
San Elijo Hills trails, one of
their most popular challenges being Double Peak.
At the top of the peak, hikers, bikers and runners alike
are Rewarded with a great
view of surrounding cities,
the ocean on a clear day and
amazing sunsets.
A good place to begin
a trip up to Double Peak is
from Discovery Lake. Parking, restrooms and water
fountains are available but
are only open from dawn
to dusk. It would be wise to
park on the street near the
park on a late evening adventure. Water fountains and
restrooms are also located at
the top of Double Peak.
The trails between the
lake and the peak switch
between dirt and pavement
and are well maintained. In
some places the incline can
be quite a climb, while other parts are fairly level. The
trek to the top is not easy,
but people of many different
abilities, and even dogs, can
be seen enjoying the trail. It
is also possible to park atop
double peak and hike around
from there if you're not ready
to tackle the full climb.
Taking a lap around Discovery Lake itself can be a
pleasant trip. The whole path
around the lake is paved and
relatively flat. Fishing at
Discovery Lake is also another option for enjoying a
beautiful day in San Marcos.
San Elijo Hills offers students an excellent opportunity to get out and exercise
outdoors to relieve the rigors
of constant study.

Are you overtraining?
BY JUSTIN D ONNER
SPORTS EDITOR
With the beginning of the
new semester many of us
have outlined ambitious fitness goals and are sprinting
full steam ahead to accomplish them.
The old adage "quality
over quantity" may be more
important in this case than
some think.
American Fitness defines
overtraining as being, "a
state of burnout as a result of
the combined negative emotional, behavioral and physical symptoms that occur as
a result of persistent training
without proper recovery."
The amount of recovery
time needed per person is
going to vary, but the key
is to listen to your body. A
few common signs of overtraining are halted progress,
decreased motivation and
self-esteem, loss of concentration, insomnia, personality changes and even
depression. Another thing to
look for is prolonged muscle
soreness.
Being sore for a couple of
days after a workout is expected, but prolonged soreness could be a sign that
your body is not being given
enough time to recover.
It is essential to realize that
days off are as important to
personal growth as the days
spent training. Some other
ways to help prevent overtraining include fueling your
body with nutritious meals
before and after workouts,
staying hydrated and getting
a good amount of sleep each
night.
Personal trainers are a great
option to help you develop
both a fitness and recovery
plan.
The Clarke here on campus offers certified personal
trainers. Working with these
trainers comes at a small
cost, but it is a great investment that will offer you both
a personalized plan and a
great learning experience.
They also offer discounts for
groups of friends wanting to
getfittogether.
Developing a proper plan
for yourself with ample recovery time is a key component of staying motivated
and ensuring that you reach
yourfitnessgoals this semester.

A look a t t he White Rose M emorial of the classroom
The tribute has been in place
B Y CHELSEY SCHWEITZER
STAFF WRITER
The White Rose Memorial
is a CSUSM commemorative plaque that is passed by
thousands of unaware students each day.
I first heard of the memorial after being assigned by
my sociology professor to
locate its' whereabouts. As a
freshman at the university, I
started asking other students
around me for assistance in
hopes that they could point
me in the right direction.
I then came to the halting
realization thatmost GSUSM
students are not at all that
familiar with their campus.
Only one of the 15 students
I came in contact with was
able to give me the location
of the memorial along with a
vague description of its tribute.
It was when I read the
plaque that I gathered a
clearer understanding of the
monument's history. The
White Rose refers a group
of students in Nazi Germany
that urged the Germans to
passively resist the regime.
They anonymously passed
out six different leaflets that
urged active opposition on
the part of the Germans, using covert means of distribution such as leaving the
pamphlets in phone booths
or having female students
travel by train to bring the
pamphlets to other areas.
On Feb. 18, 1943, two of
the White Rose members
personally distributed pamphlets by scattering them
across their campus for students to pick up. They were
caught and turned in to the
Nazi party. Soon afterward,
the rest of the White Rose
members were caught and
put on trial. Six of the members were executed by guillotine and the remaining
were imprisoned for treason.
The White Rose Memorial is decorated with tall,
white roses alongside a small
well of water and stands just
north of the Arts building
on the San Marcos campus.
%
since 2003 and acknowledges the efforts of the White
Rose members, the only resistance group to denounce
the horrors of the Holocaust,
and allows for the group to
be remembered by today's
students.
Even more so, it shows
us all here at CSUSM that
as students, we can make a
great and influential impact
on the world. Our voices can
be heard. There also lies a
ladle inside of the well that
gives people the opportunity
to give water to the roses.
I ask my fellow students to
take a moment in passing and
feed this symbol of strength
and determination. The lack
of interest in the memorial
is a truly sad oversight and
I hope that urging awareness
will allow for more students
to share in the incredibility
of White Rose.

White Rose and their actions

CSUSM parking permit fees nearly cost more
than the SDSU and UCLA
campuses
combined.
Most students will agree
that paying $338 a semester for general parking is
excessive. This high cost
leads many students to try
other methods, like going
out of their way to take the
bus, walking, biking, taking
the sprinter and carpooling.
Even carpooling costs students a large sum of money
when considering the financial struggle of also affording
tuition and textbooks. Not t o'
mention, there are those that
live too far to even have a
chance, to consider alternatives. Most students would
agree that the parking prices are hard on their budget,
but not many students know
who decides these prices or
what the money goes toward.
CSUSM prices are extremely high in comparison
to other universities. Two
relatively local examples are
San Diego State University
and University of California,
Los Angeles. SDSU has a fee
of $135 dollars per semester
and UCLA charges $213.

tial price for parking was
created prior to the 2000
school year. The price was
set once a three-tier increase in cost was implemented by those high up
in the university, resulting
in a sum of $293. Current
campus pricing is justified
based on thé fact that the
school is self-paid. The
university does not get
any government funding
and students are therefore
forced to pay for themselves. As of now, however, students do not have to
worry about price increases. The last price implication was the last in the tier,
meaning that hopefully
we won't have another increase for quite some time.
While fees go toward
the upkeep of the parking lots, many students
have difficulty paying the
current amount. Although
parking permits will always remain a strain on
student's wallets, they
can at least find comfort
in knowing that the money is helping maintain a
beautiful and safe campus.

comes from such misconceptions. These misconceptions are hurtful to everyone,
not only at the person that
they are aimed at. Instances
like this can be avoided if
the knowledge of social justice was more readily shared
on campus. Everyone at
CSUSM should have social
justice training, including
all students, professors and
faculty. I trust that if every
person on campus were to
attend social justice training,
the university itself would
become a true safe zone.
CSUSM needs to acknowledge that nobody
has the right to diminish
the sexuality of another.
I became aware of social
justice in my sophomore
year of college. Prior to
that, I had never heard of
the term and was initially unsure if I understood
the concept. I began to
gather a clearer perspective when I heard stories
from my peers about ways
in which they had been
hurt emotionally by comments made from others at
CSUSM. Scarring remarks
had come from peers, professors and administration
on campus.
I had experienced such
ignorance when a professor on campus had stated
that bisexuality did not exist. This professor went on
to explain that bisexuality Photograph courtesy of the Office of Communications.

towards becoming gay or
lesbian. For a while I believed this professor. This
professor had a Ph.D. and I
did not, so I had taken this
statement as fact.
It wasn't until later that I
realized that nobody has the
right to question or diminish
a person's sexuality. That
day in class, this professor
had taught indifference to
the students present. After
dismissal, the students left
the classroom and went into
the real world with what
they had learned, most likely spreading the pain that

B Y LIEZEL HERRADURA
STAFF WRITER
Women in leadership
positions has become a
prevalent topic in recent
years, and now CSUSM is
joining the conversation.
On Oct. 3, The Clarke
Field House will host
Puerto Rican Senator Sila
González-Calderón as
she leads a discussion on
women and leadership.
Discussion will fociis on
how women's decisions
and ways of communicating help them secure
positions of leadership.
González-Calderón plans
to discuss how even
though the Women's Liberation Movement took
place in the '60s and '70s,
women are still dealing
with the same problem
their mothers and grandmothers did, with some
variations.
The Women's Liberation Movement refers to
Second Wave Feminism,
a time in which the media
helped to bring ideas of
feminism to public consciousness. Though feminist beliefs varied between
different groups, most of
their goals were fundamentally the same - to
achieve social and moral
equality among the sexes.
The Arts and Lectures
series provides an opportunity for students to enrich
their learning experience
through cultural, scholastic and artistic events. In
bringing diverse groups of
people together for a common interest, the Arts and
Lectures series hopes to
encourage discussion and
debate on current issues.
Due to seating problems
in the past, tickets are now
required in order to attend
all events. This event is
free to all students who
attend CSUSM. Tickets
will also be open to staff
and the general public for
a small fee. To buy tickets
go to https://www.csusnL

are limited and will not be

and fan base.
Kickstarter.com described the comic book
as "an explosive science

worked hard to make "Telikos Protocol" a huge
success. They broke records with their quick
popularity and have already begun their new
project called "Cycops,"
which was introduced this
summer.
Peter Cooper and Adam

met Vanquish Interactive writers and clicked
so well that they decided
to join forces to publish

are available in print and
digital. The interactive print
version teamed up with children's charities and sponsors
throughout their launches.
The kick-start campaign
broke 50,000 in just 30 days .
and as hoped, they were featured in Comic-Con in 2012
and 2013. At both events,
they were greeted by dedicated fans dressed in costumes inspired by the comic.
These artists are fast paced
workers with strong initiative. They are looking for
students that are interested
in working as interns in social media. This is a fantastic group of people to work

B Y FAITH ORCINO
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
The publisher Dark Horse
will be releasing Issue One
of "Resident Alien: The
Suicide Blonde," the newest
installment in the comic series, on Sept. 11.
Writer Peter Hogan and
artist Steve Parkhouse return to continue the tale of
Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle,
an extraterrestrial alien
who tries to keep a low
profile in the United States
countryside. As he waits
for contact from his home
planet, Vanderspeigle cares
for those needing treatment
and assists in police investigations. This new story arc
starts where readers left him,
resting on a hospital bed.
While Vanderspeigle recovers from the past adventure,
another brews. The new storyline involves a unique set
of characters, once again taking place in the little town of
Patience.
Both Hogan and Parkerhouse are British veterans in
the comic industry. The two
worked with the critically acclaimed creator Alan Moore
in separate projects (America's Best Comics and the Bojefferies series, respectively).
Now the duo combines their
talents to create this sci-fi
comic.
Hogan's writing is a
style that reminds readers
of classic murder mystery
novels and has a steady
flow, even with the many
twists. Parkerhouse's illustrations have interesting color palettes and he
puts a lot of detail in the
characters.
For new readers, it
would be best to start with
the first collection, "Resident Alien Volume 1 : Welcome to Earth". The next
step would be getting the
zero issue before picking
up this new book. Visit
darkhorse.com or your local comic vendor for more
information.

became true after their'tour

This album contains 14

version contains three remix

mixer Alan Moulder said,
"The Audiophile Mastered
Version is more true to how
the mixes sounded to us in
the studio when we were
working on the songs."
According to Tom Baker,
their mastering engineer, the
standard master has a "loud"

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

schools in three primary categories: "Grand Champion,"
'"Per Capita Classic" and
"Waste Minimalization " 523
campuses across the United
States and Canada participated in the 2013 RecycleMania
competition, hoping to win
the coveted "Grand Champion" title or to place in various other categories.
"Grand Champion repre-
sents the true measure of
your recycling on your campus. It is waste divided into
two categories: trash and
recyclables. We are in other
competitions that are important, but Grand Champion is
the prime, overall champion,
and that's the one we aim to
win every year," CSUSM
Recycling Program Coordinator Carl Hanson said.
While CSUSM failed to
place higher than third in
the competition for Grand
Champion, this year, the university took home first place
in the Targeted Materials
Category for Paper category.
However, CSUSM's biggest win was in the major
category Per Capita Classic,
defeating the other campuses with an impressive
53.11 lbs., or total pounds
of recyclables collected per
person. This is calculated by
combining the full weight of
recycling done and not done
on campus and dividing it by
the amount of students and
faculty members that con-

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

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

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

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

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

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

tackle heavy and often controversial topics that are

from all walks of life, so long

One particular event to

OPINION
Student debt vs degree The film industry and the 'American Dream'
BY WHITNEY MAHON
CONTRIBUTOR
As many college students
are beginning to prepare for
finals coming up within the
next month, the wait begins
to find out their financial aid
eligibility for the upcoming
academic year. While some
are preparing for summer
vacation in some exotic city,
others are excited to be able
to put in more hours at their
jobs to save up for the following semester.
During my undergraduate studies from 2007-2011,
California State University consecutively increased
their tuition 10% each academic year. When will increases in tuition and fees
stop? Recently, President
Haynes posted on the California State University San
Marcos website homepage
the proposal of a "Success
Fee" maxing out at $275 per
semester by the 2016-2017
academic year. That just adds
to the money coming out of
student's pockets.
I plan to stay in school for
the rest of my life to postpone paying back my loans
because everyone knows that
trying to get a career within
the six months grace period
they give us is highly unlikely in this economy. I need a
loan just to start paying back
my loans.
According to FinAid, in
quarter one of the 2012-13
school year, over 9 million
f ree FAFSA applications
were submitted, with California having the highest
submission rate. With such
a high participation rate, you
would think that this would
be an easy and delightful
process. Financial aid has
been anything b ut...
The most efficient thing
about financial aid is when
they gave you the ability to
automatically link your application to the government
page which transported your
tax information over for you.
That saved you a whole 30
minutes; the time I wish they
would take to realize that my
parent's information had absolutely no correlation to my
life expenses.
The second year I was in
college was the same year
my parents stopped supporting me after declaring
all
me independent according
to government regulations.
However, none of that really mattered since I was
under the age of 25 and was
still considered "dependent",
forcing me to put their tax
information on my financial
aid application which altered
my eligibility of receiving
the necessary funding.
And then when I did get accepted for a grant or loan, the
wait to receive your check
feels longer than eternity. I
am thankful to receive any
type of aid, but it doesn't
help that my check gets sent
to my house 3 weeks into
the semester at the point
where I have already missed
2 homework assignments
and failed one quiz because
I couldn't afford to buy the
$97 required textbook for the
course.
According to The College
Board, two-thirds of fulltime undergraduate students
receive some sort of financial aid, whether it is loans,
grants, scholarships, and/or
work-study. It is evident that
over half of students depend
on these sources of financial
support and without it; they
would be stuck living life
with nothing more than a
high school diploma.
And don't get me wrong,
students can go through an
entire college career without
receiving any financial aid
but even working 40 hours a
week at 17 dollars per hour,
sure I could have afford my
tuition, but would end up being evicted from my apartment and eating Top Ramen
out of the bag.
One last issue is that financial aid requires you to be
enrolled full-time in order to
receive all of your financial
assistance, yet schools are
becoming so overcrowded
that it is almost impossible
to get the classes you need.
No classes, no money. No
money, no classes. It looks
like we got a case of a "Catch

The American Dream is a

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

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

The eighth annual CSUSM
Student Media Festival returns next month, and organizers are encouraging students to enter their films and

Film professor Jonathan

the festival with fellow VPA

that while most of the student entries come from arts

all.
"We're looking for entries
from all across the campus,"
he said. "Students should really know how to read and
write video as much as they
know how to read and write

Berman said many former

Pendleton was later featured
at a film festival in Washington, D.C.

We're open to all kinds of

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